I am a super cop

Chapter 532
noon.

Under the arrangement of Officer He, everyone came to a small restaurant together.

The small restaurant is not big, but it is very clean. As soon as Police Officer He entered the door, he chatted enthusiastically with the owner of the restaurant, which shows that he usually takes care of business.

The police officers who came to eat, besides Gu Chen, Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei, and some police officers from the police station, were arranged in a private room on the second floor.

At this moment, everyone sat down casually.

After Officer He ordered the food, he returned to the private room to tease with everyone.

The young and beautiful proprietress came to pour water for everyone with a kettle, and casually handed over two plates of sunflower seeds: "Eat first, the dishes will be ready in a while."

"Then hurry up." Officer He said.

The proprietress smiled: "Don't worry, the business in our store is not very good. You don't have to wait for your dishes, they will be delivered to you when they are ready."

After pouring water and seeing Gu Chen, the proprietress's eyes were obviously startled, and then she smiled and said, "Yo? A new comrade here?"

"They are colleagues from the Criminal Investigation Team of the Furong Branch, and they are here today to handle the case." A comrade from the police station sitting next to Gu Chen said.

Upon hearing this, the proprietress brought the poured boiled water to Gu Chen, and said with a smile, "I mean, we have never seen such a temperamental policeman in our town."

"Look at you, and look at others. The Furong branch, especially the police officers of the criminal investigation team, seem to be more energetic than you."

"You're flattering me." Gu Chen knew that the proprietress was praising him, and Gu Chen's ears felt callused when he heard this kind of rhetoric.

The proprietress looked at Gu Chen, sighed and said, "In my small shop, the brothers from the police station often come to take care of the business, barely making ends meet."

"The main reason is that we also have a large number of restaurants here, and they are clustered together, so if we want to make big money, we still have some small money."

"However, there is an open space at the back of our store, where we can usually park for customers who eat, especially in this area, it is not very easy to park, but our business is not getting better, are you angry?"

Gu Chen knew that the proprietress of the restaurant was complaining to him, so he asked her: "Miss proprietress, your store has a parking lot, so why is the business so bad? It doesn't make sense."

"Yeah, I also find it strange." She looked at Gu Chen, and said again: "My husband and I cleaned up the open space, and then put up a sign at the door, which read: 15 yuan for all you can eat , parking is free.”

"Think about it, I have given them free parking, but the business has been bad. I think the little brother is very energetic. Can you give me an idea?"

Gu Chen was also taken aback. She didn't expect the proprietress to ask herself, so she smiled and said, "Why don't you change the sign to say parking is 15 yuan, and meals are free."

The proprietress was taken aback: "Parking is 15 yuan? Meals are free?"

When the other police officers heard this, they immediately started discussing it.

"If tourist buses come here one after another, wouldn't that make you doubt your life?"

"You don't need to pay for food, but you have to pay for food."

"Haha, you never know how many people will come down from Wuling Hongguang."

"Could it be that Wuling Hongguang has a small army when it gets off the bus?"

"Tsk tsk, you're still young. Do you know that there is a car called Dake? The 45 is allowed."

"A group of gangsters, can't the driver be the only one?"

……

Gu Chen smiled, took a sip of water and said, "This situation is mainly used to attract customers. For those who come to park, you will charge the driver 15 yuan per head, and the food in the restaurant is free."

"If you don't stop and just come to eat, or the passengers in the driver's car eat, you will also be charged 15 yuan per person. It's just a fixed portion and no refills."

"I see." The proprietress nodded, smiled at Gu Chen and said, "You mean to keep the driver mainly, and the driver is not limited to eating?"

"Yes." Gu Chen had noticed that this restaurant had a buffet area before, so he said again: "Because I see that your restaurant has a buffet area, so you should start operating on the buffet."

"If there are customers who need to cook, then the price of the stir-fry will be calculated."

"Huh?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, Officer He immediately slapped his head: "That's right, parking is 15 yuan, and meals are free. Why didn't I think of this method?"

"The location here is good, and the parking space is tight. Many people come to park at noon. They can also eat for free when they park, and there is no limit for drivers."

"Anyway, they have to stop, the driver is of course happy, and you don't lose money, Madam Boss."

"That's good. I'll try it out and see if it works. If it doesn't work, I'll talk about it." The proprietress smiled suddenly, patted Gu Chen on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, little brother."

"You're welcome." Gu Chen also said casually, just flipping the logic, plus the driver's buffet is free, with unlimited meals.

After all, the driver does not make much money here, mainly the passengers behind the driver.

Because there are tourist attractions nearby, there are usually some companies or groups that organize tours here.

Getting the driver to bring the passengers over is the key.

It didn't take long for Officer He to order all the meals, but what surprised Officer He was that today's meals were particularly full.

This made Police Officer He frown, he said: "Usually the portion of this dish is not so much, what happened to the proprietress today?"

"That's right." Another new comrade from the police station said, "Let's talk about the shredded pork with green peppers. Usually, there are too many green peppers, but the meat is not enough. Today it's the other way around?"

Officer He also shook his head, pointed to a wooden bucket and said, "There is also this meal. I used to think that we had a lot of food, so I only sent us a small bucket. Today, I skipped the middle bucket and sent a large bucket. Have you become a rice bucket?"

"Hahaha."

There was a burst of laughter in the entire private room, but everyone knew that the proprietress was trying to save face for Gu Chen.

The food at lunch was very delicious, and everyone chatted and talked about the ground. It is rare for police officers from different departments to get together, and it is considered to be an exchange of feelings.

It was also when the meal was halfway through that a second-level superintendent suddenly received a call.

After making two errands, he hurriedly reported to Police Officer He, "Old He, the gas station called, and they said that the night before yesterday, at about three or four in the morning, a driver did indeed come to refuel, and he was In addition, I used an oil barrel to pump a barrel of oil over there."

"Huh?" After hearing the report from the second-level superintendent, Officer He immediately swallowed a mouthful of food, drank his saliva, and then asked: "Then besides this person, is there anyone else who has problems when they go to refuel?" ?”

The second-level superintendent shook his head: "No, the gas station is also based on the tasks I gave them, and carefully questioned all the staff on duty in the past two days, only the one the night before yesterday was a bit suspicious."

"How about the investigation on the vehicle side?" Gu Chen also hurriedly asked.

"A few have been found, but according to what you said, the relevant academic qualification investigation has not yet been launched..."

"No need." Before the second-level superintendent could finish his sentence, Gu Chen interrupted directly: "That's all he is, hurry up and check to see if this other person who refuels is among these suspicious drivers. If you have him, go find him immediately."

"Then..." The second-level superintendent froze for a moment, looked at a table of delicious food, swallowed, and said, "Then can we eat the food first?"

Seeing Officers Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, and Officer Wang frowning, Officer He hurriedly said, "Then what are you eating? It's important to handle the case. If you haven't finished eating, pack it up and send it to the police station. Continue to eat after work is done."

"Miss Boss." Seeing Officer He's words, the Second Superintendent hurriedly shouted, "Bring me some bags and pack them."

……

……

After eating half of the food, everyone went back to the police station in the town, a small police station with less than 20 people.

Gu Chen, Officer Wang, and Lu Weiwei walked back and forth outside an office non-stop.

Not long after, Officer He walked out of the office quickly after receiving a few calls.

"I found it, it's that guy." Officer He hurried away.

Gu Chen hurriedly asked him: "Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure. I'm very sure that he was one of the most likely vehicles that caused the accident that night. However, because it was a big night, the light was not very good, and the high-definition cameras were not high enough to see which vehicle. There are signs of impact."

"But if we investigate based on the person who bought gasoline, we can identify this person. This person is in business, has gone to college, and likes to drink very much."

"I was investigated once for drunk driving before, but that time he and his companion switched places before we arrived. We didn't catch him, so we had to warn him and let him go."

"So I was particularly impressed with him, absolutely right."

Hearing Officer He's very affirmative tone, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, feeling that they should be right.

So Gu Chen hurriedly said: "Then can you take us to find him now?"

"Okay, let's go now." Officer He waved his hand, even more anxious than anyone else.

Several people drove, and according to the guidance of Police Officer He, they came to a small western-style building on the side of the road.

The small western-style building is tall and majestic, and it is incompatible with other surrounding buildings built according to the standards of the new countryside, giving people a different style.

Officer He pointed to Xiaoyanglou and said, "This is it. This boss is a bit powerful. He started his business by collecting junk before."

"What?" Officer Wang was stunned when he heard that it was so profitable to collect trash: "This college student collects trash? Can he still receive gold? Can this small western-style building be built so grandly?"

"Also, take a look, look at this yard, there are fake mountains and rivers, this... how can you really pick up gold?"

"Old Wang, don't believe me." Officer He also saw that Officer Wang was making a fuss, and then explained: "This guy is quite smart. He bought some high-value things."

"For example, those who collect broken computer circuit boards don't understand, but he understands. A few years ago, the second-hand computer market was booming. He consolidated it, hired some skilled workers, and started sorting it in his own backyard."

"Leng is to refurbish the key components of used computers on a large scale, and then sell them to shops that specialize in assembling second-hand computers."

"Because not many people knew this business in the early years, and not many did it, so he tasted the sweetness and made a lot of money in those years."

"However, he has changed careers now, opened several hotels in the urban area, and engaged in catering and accommodation chains."

"Then let's go in and have a look?" Gu Chen didn't care much about this kind of family history.

Officer He nodded: "Okay, then let's look for it."

After everyone got out of the car, they pushed open the gate of the yard, and a little wolf dog was barking at everyone.

But as soon as he entered the door, a pungent gasoline smell came over his face, and Gu Chen couldn't help frowning.

But at this time, he also heard the barking of the little wolf dog in the courtyard, and a middle-aged man came out from the balcony on the second floor.

Seeing the police visit, the man was taken aback and asked weakly, "What are you doing here?"

Gu Chen didn't answer directly, but turned around and asked Officer He: "Is that him?"

"That's right, it's him." Officer He nodded, and stepped forward to ask him, "Are you Zhao Qiang?"

"That's right, what's wrong?" said Zhao Qiang who was standing on the second floor.

Officer He immediately waved: "Then you come down first, we need to find you."

Zhao Qiang frowned and resisted psychologically, but he still nodded and responded: "That's fine, you guys wait here first."

Not long after, Zhao Qiang came in front of everyone wearing a pair of slippers.

Before Zhao Qiang could speak, Gu Chen asked him directly: "Mr. Zhao Qiang, may I ask why your house smells so strongly of gasoline?"

"This..." Zhao Qiang was stunned for a while, his eyes were a little dazed, but he quickly calmed down, and then said: "I bought it a few days ago, and you all know that the price of gasoline has risen sharply recently. A little bit is a little bit."

Having said this, Zhao Qiang also smiled embarrassedly.

"Hehe." Officer Wang also snorted coldly with hatred for the rich, and then said: "You are a local tyrant, do you still care about whether the price of gasoline has risen? The price increase should have no effect on people like you, right? ?'

"You can't say that, Comrade Policeman." Zhao Qiang is a businessman, and he can clearly hear some hatred of the rich from Police Officer Wang's tone.

So he joked and said: "My money didn't fall from the sky for no reason, it was all earned by my hardworking hands."

"I know your family history." Officer Wang folded his arms and nodded slightly looking at him.

Zhao Qiang said with a smile: "Since the police comrades know it, they also know that it is not easy to make a fortune. As for me, I usually keep the habit when I started my business. I save as much as I can, and I spend what I can..."

Looking at the mansion behind him, Zhao Qiang smiled: "The place where I can squander is probably my house."

"Don't talk to me about these useless things." Gu Chen passed by Zhao Qiang directly, looked around for a week and said, "Don't you know that the price of gasoline across the country will drop again tomorrow? The news was a few days ago! You alone Will the businessman know?"

"Uh!" Gu Chen also scolded him face to face, Zhao Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then he forced a smile and said, "Maybe it's because I've been staying at home these days, and I haven't checked the situation outside. "

Gu Chen nodded, came to him, and met Zhao Qiang's sharp eyes.

But soon, Zhao Qiang didn't dare to look directly into Gu Chen's eyes, and quickly moved away: "Comrade policeman, you...you don't have to look at me like that, just ask if you have anything to say."

"You really bought gasoline just to hoard it? Isn't it?" Gu Chen asked.

Zhao Qiang shook his head, and said with a smile: "It seems that I can't hide it from comrades in the police. That's right, I don't just buy gasoline for refueling, because my building is built according to European and American standards."

"In order to restore the original taste of European and American country houses, I specially asked the architect to build a fireplace in the living room, just like the one you often see suspiciously when you watch American dramas."

"I know." Gu Chen nodded, expressing his understanding.

So Zhao Qiang said again: Therefore, some wood must be prepared for the fire in this house, but this is not advocated now, saying that it is not environmentally friendly, so I have no choice. "

"In the past few days, you also know that it's cold and cold in spring, and we don't have heating in the south, and my new house hasn't installed air conditioning, so I want to use the most primitive and most European-style way to heat."

"So I purchased a batch of wood and chopped it for firewood, but the quality of this batch of wood is not good, so it's not easy to burn."

"So I wanted to buy some gasoline and pour it on the wood to help the combustion."

"You really don't want your life." Lu Weiwei listened to Zhao Qiang's words, and she said angrily, "You lit it with gasoline at home, are you crazy? Do you want to die?"

"If this is not done properly, won't your whole house be burned down?"

"Also, if you buy gasoline and use it for this purpose, it's a violation of the regulations, do you know?"

"I know, comrade policewoman, don't be angry, we don't pay so much attention in the countryside, and many people do it in their homes."

Seeing Lu Weiwei glaring at him, Zhao Qiang quickly explained: "I light it first in the yard with wood doused with gasoline, and then bring it to the house. It's really, very safe, and there will never be such a thing as you said. kind of situation."

"That's not okay." Police officer He directly angrily said: "You are violating the fire protection, do you know? And look at what is in your yard? Once all kinds of messy things are ignited, the consequences will be unimaginable. "

"Yes, yes, what the police comrades said is, I know I made a mistake, and I will definitely change it next time. I won't burn it in the future. I will buy an air conditioner tomorrow."

Zhao Qiang used his proficient communication skills to deal with Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei, and Officer He, while observing Gu Chen's movements.

Because from the moment he entered the gate, Zhao Qiang could clearly feel that this seemingly young policeman had bright eyes and seemed to be carefully investigating everything around him from beginning to end.

Just as Zhao Qiang finished speaking, Gu Chen asked directly: "Mr. Zhao Qiang, you said your fireplace is in the hall, can you take me to see it?"

"This..." Zhao Qiang was a little hesitant, but he still agreed: "Suspicious, then...then you all come with me."

Sniffing, Zhao Qiang turned his head three times a step, led the policemen in the courtyard, and walked into the house step by step.
