I am a super cop

Chapter 567 Magical Realism [Two in one, ask for a monthly pass]

Looking at Gu Chen's sharp eyes, Hao Tong wanted to avoid it, but the facts were in front of him. Even if Hao Tong wanted to find a reasonable excuse, the lime in the room could not explain it at all.

In addition to the dead cat's body, it is enough to see that the kitten was hungry at that time, which refuted the previous statement that I had prepared enough cat food.

Seeing that he was spotted by the police when he first came to the Furong sub-bureau, Hao Tong was terrified at the moment, and kept avoiding his eyes.

"You burned your own house, if I'm not wrong, it should be for money?"

Seeing that Hao Tong did not respond for a long time, Gu Chen directly gave his own judgment.

"This..." Hao Tong glanced at Gu Chen, lowered his head and whispered, "I... I don't know what to say?"

"Then talk slowly." Lu Weiwei stared sideways at Hao Tong, and also said in a bad mood: "From the results of our on-site investigation, from the moment you left the villa with your two daughters to the moment the villa caught fire, my Junior Brother Gu was the first One who rushed into the fire to search for survivors."

"During this period, no other personnel have been found to have entered the villa, so only you can complete these operations, but now, it seems that you can't deny it?"

Also stunned by Lu Weiwei's loud voice, Hao Tong held his forehead and tried his best to keep himself awake.

She looked at Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha, then returned her gaze to Gu Chen, then nodded and said, "That's right, this fire was... I did it, and the methods you mentioned were indeed mine. preset way."

Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, and Yuan Shasha looked at each other, quickly picked up the writing pen again, and asked: "That is to say, our previous inference is indeed the case. You used the pet cat to complete this seemingly absent-minded arson. Event right?"

"Yes." Hao Tong nodded without denying it, but suddenly he became sad, and the whole body couldn't help but burst into tears.

Lu Weiwei took out a tissue from Officer Wang's desk and handed it to her, and said, "Although I don't know why you did this, have you ever thought about what happens if the fire spreads and becomes uncontrollable?"

"With a place like Kaitian Villa, wouldn't innocent people be harmed? And if it wasn't for a heavy rain tonight to suppress the fire, the fire might join together and ignite all the surrounding yards and trees."

"Be optimistic. At most, your single house will be burned down. Be pessimistic. Do you know that the surrounding houses may all suffer?"

"I...I know." Hao Tong lowered his head and said aggrievedly: "I just wanted to burn down my house, I didn't want to harm others. Really, is it illegal to burn down my own house?"

"Arson on purpose is a crime." Gu Chen said straightforwardly.

"Okay." Hao Tong lowered his head again, with a frustrated expression on his face, "Actually... Actually, I did this to help my husband."

"Help your husband?" Gu Chen frowned, and couldn't help asking: "What does it have to do with helping your husband when you burn your own house?"

"Yes." Yuan Shasha also said inexplicably: "This is the first time I've seen someone who is going to set his house on fire. You can't understand this wave of operations."

Hao Tong shook his head, calmed himself down again, and proposed to Gu Chen his idea of ​​this wave of operations, saying: "My family is short of money now, and I have another 200 million in debt."

"You have to know that when we had some money at home, my husband and I spent money lavishly, and we never had the habit of saving money."

"Based on the mentality of being drunk today, I basically feel that this business can continue to make money."

"But I didn't expect that the turning point was in the second half of last year. My family's business suddenly suffered a breakdown of funds. The money lent out to raise funds for others ended up being taken away even with interest. The person who borrowed money has been like It's like evaporating."

"So, you owe 200 million because of this?" Gu Chen said.

Hao Tong nodded and said, "This is just the beginning. Since I was able to get high returns from the fund-raising circle every year, and the business was good in the past few years, my husband has never paid too much attention to the flow of funds."

"But this time, the principal and interest of the fund-raising suddenly disappeared, and the market took a sharp turn for the worse. Many supply manufacturers came to ask for debts, but my family suddenly couldn't afford so much money."

"In desperation, I can only return those extruded clothes to the manufacturer, or sell them at a discount. In the end, I can only sell the real estate in the urban area, and take the villa for a loan, so I can barely take out part of it. Funding to fill the gap."

"But the current situation is that even so, the debt gap of nearly 200 million yuan is still not closed for a long time."

"Looking at my husband getting up early and staying late every day, sometimes he is so tired that he vomits blood. As a wife, I really don't know how to help him."

Looking at his clothes, Hao Tong pinched his collar and said, "I used to spend money like water, but now I use one dollar as two dollars. I haven't bought new clothes for a long time. My two daughters don't even have milk powder." broken."

"But..." Gu Chen hesitated for a while, and then asked softly: "But, that villa of yours can be sold to pay off the debt. I remember that the housing prices over there are quite high, filling the gap of 200 million debts. , should be more than enough, right?"

"Yes." Hao Tong was suddenly emotional, choked up and said, "Comrade policeman, what you said is absolutely right."

"This villa was bought by my husband and I after nearly 15 years of hard work in Jiangnan City."

"To be honest, this house is also our last foothold in Jiangnan City. If we can't keep this house, I'm afraid my husband won't be able to bear the pressure."

After a pause, Hao Tong continued: "However, every time I see my husband vomiting blood from exhaustion, I find that he has changed. He has never worked so hard before."

"I know he wants to keep the house, and he wants our family not to be reduced to a place where we don't live in Jiangnan City."

"He always told me, if you bear with it, maybe the market will get better again? Maybe he will still be lucky?"

"But I know that all of this is his comforting people. The market will not improve in a few years, and businessmen don't have that much luck. It all depends on hard work."

"I'm afraid that before my husband makes a comeback, he will be exhausted. I just want my family to be well and not be crushed by 200 million debts."

"So, after persuading my husband to sell the house of Kaitian Villa to no avail, I secretly hid it from him and bought a huge amount of insurance through an acquaintance. It burns."

"I know my husband is reluctant, but I have no choice. I can only let my husband stop working so hard after I burn the house down and get enough insurance funds from the insurance company. "

Looking at Gu Chen, Hao Tong said in a hoarse voice: "Comrade policeman, life is very hard. There are four of us in our family, and there are four elderly people to support. My husband makes money all by himself."

"I'm really afraid that when he falls down one day, our family will live on the streets from now on, and my child will still have to live with the debts owed from his father."

"So I've had enough of this kind of life. Since my husband Xu Youcai doesn't listen to me, I will use my own way to help him make up his mind."

"As long as the house burns down and the insurance company can't find the reason for the intentional arson, our family is very likely to get a huge amount of insurance money."

"With this money, we can pay off the debt first, maybe have a small balance, or not enough, and have to owe more."

"But those are all okay now, at least the pressure will not be so great, at least we can make a comeback."

Gu Chen nodded slightly, expressing his understanding: "So, you went all out to set the fire just to defraud the insurance company of the insurance money?"

"No... that's right." Hao Tong didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit it.

Gu Chen shook his head: "But, you can definitely persuade your husband to sell the villa. It should be more than 200 million, at least there will be a balance."

"Yes." Lu Weiwei also agreed very much: "Pay off the debts and save some money. Living in a rented house is pretty good. At least your life matters, right? With your husband working so hard day and night, what if he ends up in the hospital someday? , the medical expenses spent, isn’t it a small sum?”

Hao Tong shook his head, seeming to understand what the two of them meant, but he still explained: "200 million, or even more than 200 million, this house is definitely worth it."

"But you have to know that there are prices but no market. Many houses here are looking for buyers among rich people."

"But now everyone doesn't have a lot of liquidity in their hands, and this area is far away from the urban area, so there are not many people who come here to buy houses."

"And in the first few years, it was said that this area was going to be developed, but many projects were aborted halfway. Therefore, many home buyers in this area are not optimistic, and there is no appreciation potential."

"So the residents who bought here a few years ago have fallen into the pit. Obviously, this place has a price but no market. If it can't be sold at an ultra-low price, no one is willing to take it over."

"Many landlords are also promoting sales, and we can't afford to lose."

When Hao Tong said this, Gu Chen probably understood the reason.

Co-authoring a house with a price but no market, it is difficult to support the cash flow, so Hao Tong made this bad move in order to help her husband pay off the debt.

Using pet cats to create a fire incident, so as to defraud the insurance company of high insurance premiums.

Gu Chen shook his head involuntarily, and said, "Aren't you afraid that if the fire doesn't burn up, you'll be just trying to fetch water from a bamboo basket?"

"That's right, I was worried." Hao Tong wiped the teardrops from the corners of his eyes, and then said again: "But, I have also experimented many times when no one is around, and I can ignite it every time."

"And I was in that room where the cats were kept, with flammable wallpaper all over, plus all the flammable things around."

"I think that as long as the fire ignites, the whole house will be engulfed in flames. You have to gamble on everything. If it really succeeds, my husband won't have to work hard anymore, but..."

Hao Tong looked at Gu Chen, and tears suddenly fell out: "But I never expected that you could accurately restore all the situations on the scene in such a short period of time."

"It seems that I still underestimated your police's ability to handle cases. I thought I would succeed, but now it seems that this is just my wishful thinking."

"Hao Tong." Lu Weiwei squinted her eyes, and said angrily: "I said you are the mother of two children, can you do things with your brain? You can do such a stupid behavior? "

"You're not only cheating on your husband, but also burning up the only hope and thoughts you have. Why are you doing this?"

Speaking of this, Lu Weiwei wanted to rush up and give her a slap in the face.

It's okay to burn my own house to play. Lu Weiwei has never seen this wave of operations in her life.

But sometimes it's such a magical realism that it makes people careless.

"Does he know?" Gu Chen also asked Hao Tong after he had recorded all of Hao Tong's dictation.

Hao Tong shook his head: "He didn't know. My husband was kept in the dark from the beginning to the end. He didn't even know that I planned to burn down the house."

Speaking of this, Hao Tong burst into tears suddenly: "I'm so stupid, how could I come up with such a stupid way?"

"Now that the house is gone and the debts have to be repaid, how can there be such a stupid woman like me? Damn me, woo..."

Gu Chen also stood up, handed the transcript to Hao Tong, and said, "You are sober now, if you knew this earlier, why did you do it in the first place? Relying on breaking the law and committing crimes to achieve your goal, don't think that it's just your own house and you're fine. The responsibilities you should bear are the same. I can't escape."

Gu Chen didn't know what to say, but fortunately no casualties were caused, and the torrential rain at night suppressed the spread of the fire, so that the main building of the house could be preserved.

Unfortunately, the decoration inside the house has been completely burnt beyond recognition.

If the price is revalued later, it may have to be greatly discounted.

Hao Tong signed his name on the place soaked in tears, wowed and cried again.

……

……

The next day.

10 o'clock in the morning.

The third group of criminal investigation of the Furong branch.

Officer Wang looked at the file report and couldn't help exclaiming: "I said Gu Chen, did you go racing last night?"

"That's right, the address is in Kaitian Villa next to the International Circuit." Gu Chen replied to Police Officer Wang while sorting out the information.

Officer Wang smiled: "So, Lu Weiwei and Xiao Yuan have also gone? I see three people signed your report."

"That's right." Lu Weiwei, who was lying on the table, also said with panda eyes in her eyes: "I wanted to relax last night, but I did. It's really cool to drive, but it's almost early in the morning to handle the case. I really can't bear it." Living."

"I'm also very tired." Yuan Shasha also complained: "But I still don't understand why Senior Brother Gu is in such good health? How long has he been resting? It feels like he doesn't need to sleep at all."

"Haha, you don't understand that, do you?" Seeing Yuan Shasha's fuss, Police Officer Wang explained: "Gu Chen is a well-known workaholic in our three groups. He can work continuously for days and nights. It doesn't take long to rest."

"In the past, our three groups had heavy workload and few staff, but we, the front-line police officers, suffered a lot. But after Gu Chen came, guess what happened?"

"It's much easier, isn't it?" Yuan Shasha asked, who didn't know what was going on.

Lu Weiwei chuckled, and interjected, "It's not easy, it's more tiring, because Junior Brother Gu's work efficiency is too high, but the price is that there is almost no rest in between handling a case to the end."

"The efficiency has improved, but the workload has also increased. The us you see so far is completely different from the us before Gu Chen came to the third group."

"Hehe." Yuan Shasha also smiled curiously.

After all, she came to the third group as an intern. Yuan Shasha didn't know how the previous three groups worked.

But from Lu Weiwei's words, one can probably understand how strong Gu Chen's physical strength and energy are.

As a result, Yuan Shasha admired it: "It seems that Brother Gu is very capable in all aspects, which is really enviable."

"It's okay, Senior Brother Wang and Senior Sister Lu are exaggerating. In fact, I also need to rest." Gu Chen answered the words casually and perfunctory.

After all, exaggerated physical fitness, although the police colleagues in the three groups have long been used to it.

However, being open for a long time will indeed make new comrades feel uncomfortable.

Not to mention this kind of unconventional physical fitness, itself is an unreasonable existence.

Furthermore, if you use energy drinks for a long time, Gu Chen doesn't know if there will be any side effects on the body.

Just like ordinary energy drinks, there are substances that stimulate nerves to some extent. Excessive drinking for a long time is indeed easy to damage the body.

Therefore, Gu Chen still managed to control the consumption of energy drinks.

Police Officer Wang put aside the subject and asked Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, I heard that you won the first place in the International Raceway yesterday. Is there such a thing?"

"It's a fluke, it's just good luck." Gu Chen replied somewhat casually.

Police officer Wang smiled: "But, as far as I know, the top ranking in the international racing circuit seems to be a bit powerful."

"I heard that there are quite a few drivers who have participated in professional competitions. You can surpass the second and third places in the ranking and tie with the current first place. It can be said that you really have two brushes."

Lu Weiwei stared blankly at Police Officer Wang, and said with a smile: "Old Wang, what you said is wrong. With Junior Brother Gu's judgment and various mature operational abilities, do you think he is not worthy?"

"Yes, I didn't say he was unworthy." Officer Wang said.

"Then why are you talking nonsense? Anyway, Junior Brother Gu won the first place, and you have all kinds of doubts, why? Do you suspect that No.2 and No.3 on the top rankings are unreasonable?"

"Hehe." Police officer Wang suddenly laughed dryly, did not answer, turned his head directly, and continued to be busy with his work.

Seeing the situation, Lu Weiwei immediately put down the documents in her hand, walked to Police Officer Wang's cubicle, lay down in front of him and said, "I said Lao Wang, what do you mean? Why do we lesbians get angry? This gay man won’t talk anymore?”

Police officer Wang glanced at her, and said in a bad mood: "You don't listen to what you say, you don't understand what you hear, you don't do it when you understand it, you make mistakes when you do it, you don't admit it when you're wrong, you don't admit it You don’t change it, you don’t accept it, and you still say it.”

"Uh..." Confused by Officer Wang's words, Lu Weiwei asked weakly, "Why are you being so fierce to me?"

"Hehe." Police officer Wang also looked up at Lu Weiwei, and then he couldn't help but say: "You say I'm fierce, you say I scold you, don't you want me to apologize to you, it's okay to apologize, but do you know what is the most important thing? ?”

"It's... what is it?" Lu Weiwei didn't know what to do.

Police officer Wang said decisively: "The key is, I said what I said, and I really thought I was wrong."

"Hahaha." Yuan Shasha on the side couldn't be happier, and hurried over to persuade her: "I said, two brothers and sisters, don't quarrel over whether Senior Brother Gu can take the first place. Isn't it good that Senior Brother Gu takes the first place?" Besides, it feels very lucky to be able to meet a friend who Senior Brother Gu hasn't seen for many years this time."

"That's right, why did I forget about this?" Lu Weiwei also slapped her head in astonishment, and then said: "You Xiao Yuan are not kind, it turns out to be Angela from the T team, the shadow is deep enough."

Officer Wang couldn't understand what Lu Weiwei was talking about at all, so he pricked up his ears, leaned against Lu Weiwei, and then pretended not to care, "What the hell are you talking about? What T team? What Angela? Where is Nikolai Ostrovsky?"

"Haha, Lao Wang, you sure don't understand, right?" Lu Weiwei also saw that Police Officer Wang was interested, and seemed not as angry as before, so she explained to him:
"Xiao Yuan is one of the top 100 drivers in Jiangnan International Circuit, and also a member of Team T of the International Circuit. And did you know that the leader of their team's guild is actually a friend that Junior Brother Gu hasn't seen for many years."

"Is it so magical and realistic?" Police Officer Wang couldn't help shrinking back, and said thoughtfully, "A friend Gu Chen hasn't seen for many years is actually in the same team as Xiao Yuan? It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

"It's such a coincidence." Gu Chen also admitted: "I didn't expect that after so many years of meeting, I would meet again at the international circuit, and my friend's family still has shares in this international circuit. "

"That is to say, your good brother Gu Chen is a rich second generation again?" Officer Wang asked.

Gu Chen smiled: "You can say that."

"And that rich second-generation cousin is still my best friend. I didn't expect everyone to have so many connections. It feels like the world is really small." Yuan Shasha said.

Everyone said what I said, although Police Officer Wang pricked up his ears and listened hard.

But after all, I haven't experienced last night's car race, so I feel that I am excluded from the circle, and I can't get into the topic for a while, so I can only listen to a few people making fun of each other.

Not only that, many new and old comrades also came together.

Feeling that there is a chance, it seems that everyone wants to realize a dream of racing, after all, this is a dream that every boy should have.

After He Junchao listened, he also clicked his tongue twice, and said with disgust: "In the end, it's not because of Xu Zhenggang's stepfather. After his mother remarried, he could continue this rich life."

"You can't say that." Gu Chen directly denied He Junchao's words, and smiled indifferently: "Actually, when it comes to wealth, many people don't know it. In fact, Xu Zhenggang's mother is a person who really has a pattern."

"Really? Didn't she rely on Xu Zhenggang's biological father and stepfather to climb up the ladder? Leaving the rich, she shouldn't have much ability, right?" He Junchao also doubted.

Gu Chen shook his head and continued: "Actually, Mother Xu doesn't rely on anyone, because her family is already very strong, and Mother Xu is very low-key, even though she is a millionaire."

"But I heard that when my good brother Xu Zhenggang was 18 years old, she mysteriously took out a watch and gave it to him."

"A coming-of-age gift for an 18-year-old should be quite expensive, right? For a wealthy family like Xu Zhenggang." Lu Weiwei asked.

Gu Chen smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just a worn-out watch that was said to have been passed down by Xu Zhenggang and his grandfather."

"Also, I heard from Xu Zhenggang himself that his mother said at the time, you should first take it to the watch repair shop in the shopping mall and ask how much it can be sold for."

"Sell... the watch that was handed down by grandpa?" Police officer Wang was stunned, feeling a little unbelievable.

Gu Chen smiled faintly: "I heard Xu Zhenggang say that at the time, and he thought the same as Senior Brother Wang, but Xu Zhenggang still obeyed and went to the watch repair shop."

"After I came back, I told Mrs. Xu once and for all that he said that the watch repair shop said it was too old and only offered 30 yuan."

"Pfft, it's only 30 yuan?" He Junchao couldn't help holding back his laughter and said, "The things that grandpa left behind may not be very good."

"Don't worry." After looking around for a week, Gu Chen said again: "Later, Mother Xu told Xu Zhenggang to ask him to take it to the coffee shop around the corner."

"So Xu Zhenggang continued to do as he was told. When he came back, he told his mother that the boss in the coffee shop said that the watch is still very delicate. If he wants to use it for decoration, he can offer 300 yuan."

"What? 30 yuan turned into 300 yuan?" He Junchao, who was still sneering just now, was suddenly stunned, but soon calmed down, and said lightly: "But it's not very valuable, after all, it's only 300 yuan, and it can only Say the boss likes it and is willing to spend money."

Gu Chen also nodded, and said, "Yes, the owner of the coffee shop really likes it, and it's quite artistic, but Mama Xu said, let him take it to the antique shop again and ask about the price."

"As a result, he was secretly entertaining on the way back. He told his mother that the owner of the antique shop said that the purchase of this watch for 23 yuan can be negotiated."

"I lost it." Yuan Shasha was stunned, blinking her eyes inexplicably: "This... this 30 yuan thing becomes 23 yuan in the blink of an eye? How many times will the price of this watch increase? "

"Yeah, isn't this too awesome? Is this price still acceptable?" Police Officer Wang couldn't believe it, it felt too fantastical, right?

Gu Chen nodded slightly: "I also find it unbelievable, but Xu's mother still told him calmly, now you can take it to the museum and ask again, and when Xu Zhenggang came back, he was pleasantly surprised to tell his mother that the curator said that he was willing to publish 260 million to buy this watch.”

There was a sudden silence at the scene, and I felt that magic realism really existed, and it was by my side.

Lu Weiwei asked weakly: "How the hell did he do it?"

Gu Chen smiled and said: "It's very simple. Xu's mother told him thoughtfully at that time that she just wanted Xu Zhenggang to know that we are the same as this watch. We only have to put ourselves in the right place and be right with each other. Real value can only be generated when people get along with each other.”

"If you put yourself in the wrong position and environment, no matter how valuable you are, you are worthless."

Hearing this, the scene suddenly fell silent.
