I am a super cop

Chapter 653 "Quasi" Chinatown
8 pm.

Gu Chen was lying in the hotel room reading a book, when the landline beside him suddenly rang.

Without hesitation, Gu Chen connected the phone directly. This is the communication time that he and Anna had agreed upon.

Anna is in charge of sending someone to the yard of Simon's house. Regardless of whether there is any result, Anna will call and communicate with Gu Chen as soon as possible.

"Gu Chen, I'm in Simon's yard right now."

"How?" Gu Chen asked her curiously.

Various noises came from the ear, and through the phone, Gu Chen could feel the excitement of the scene.

Anna seemed to have reached a secluded place, and then replied: "What we just discovered, our people dug up a corpse in a corner of the yard, and it is currently being cleaned up and confirmed."

"If there are no accidents, it should be Paul's body." Although Gu Chen was not at the scene, he deduced it based on his various clues.

In the yard of Simon's house, only Paul's body was dug up.

Anna smiled and said, "Gu Chen, you have helped me a lot this time. Regardless of whether it is Paul or not, you are right. There are really weird things in this yard."

"How long will it take to confirm the body?" Gu Chen was also waiting quietly.

Anna hesitated for a few seconds before replying: "If there are no accidents, the result may be available tonight."

"Then I'll wait for your news tomorrow." Gu Chen said with a smile, but suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "Oh, by the way, do you have control over Lisa?"

"It has been brought under control. Lisa has been arrested by us and is awaiting further interrogation."

"That's good." Gu Chen also let out a long sigh of relief when he heard that all the actions were carried out according to his own steps.

I feel that the direction of the case is also developing in a good direction.

The focus of work in the past few days has developed from joint patrols at the beginning to joint case handling.

And judging from the handling of these cases, it is completely guided by the Chinese police team.

From this point of view, Gu Chen is quite proud.

I feel that everyone is a bit "not doing business properly".

Even the e-mails sent by Zhao Guozhi are all kinds of awards, and it seems that he has no clear objection to the case work he participated in in Italy.

Coupled with the acquiescence of Director Fernando of the Luocheng Police Department, the Chinese police team led by Gu Chen has actually been fully integrated into the Italian police case handling system.

This is indeed not easy for the Chinese police, and there is even a little pride.

It is the greatest honor to at least get any award from your peers.

……

……

The next morning.

Anna, as usual, took everyone to the police station early in the morning.

In the car, Gu Chen asked about last night's situation.

Anna also smiled and said: "Yesterday we were busy in the yard of Simon's house until 9 o'clock in the evening."

"After the body was identified, it was finally determined that the body was Lisa's ex-husband Paul, so we interrogated Lisa and Simon overnight."

"Then what do they say?" Lu Weiwei was also very curious at the moment.

Anna smiled and said: "As Gu Chen speculated, Paul actually met Lisa for the last time two days ago, and the two actually quarreled at Lisa's house."

"In the end, Lisa stabbed Paul to death because she couldn't stand Paul's violence."

"But at that time, Simon, who heard the noise, had already arrived at Lisa's house. The relationship between the two was not normal, so Simon chose to help Lisa and help her deal with this matter."

Gu Chen nodded slightly, and said: "So, while Simon quietly disposed of Paul's body in his garden, he helped Lisa arrange the aftermath."

"Yes." Anna, who was driving, agreed with Gu Chen's opinion, and said with a smile: "This Lisa cleaned up the blood in the room that night, she followed Simon's suggestion, that is, the night before yesterday, she suddenly took her daughter to the movies .”

"Including going to a Chinese restaurant to eat, singing with friends until late at night, Lisa actually arranged everything in advance."

"But Lisa didn't know what the purpose of Simon asking her to do this was. During the interrogation, she just confessed that everything was up to Simon."

"Perhaps she would not have imagined that in order to get rid of suspicion, Simon killed the beggar monkey, pretended to be Paul, and burned it beyond recognition."

"It can be said that Simon is also unscrupulous and extremely cruel in order to achieve his goal, but with his little cleverness, he still can't escape Gu Chen's eyes."

Speaking of this, Anna glanced at Gu Chen through the rearview mirror of the car, and said with a smile: "Gu Chen, maybe you don't know yet? Chief Fernando wants to see you, so he probably wants to praise you again."

"Haha." Before Gu Chen could speak, Police Officer Wang laughed loudly and said, "If that's the case, let Director Fernando praise it a few more times, because this is Gu Chen's routine operation, take your time." You will know."

"Huh?" Although Anna didn't understand very well, she felt that since Police Officer Wang said so, there must be some truth.

After the vehicle stopped at the Luocheng Police Station, Anna took the Chinese police team to the office as usual, then called Gu Chen out alone, and took him directly to Chief Fernando's office.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

Following three knocks on the door, Fernando opened the door himself.

The moment he saw Gu Chen, Fernando smiled directly and said, "Gu Chen, are you here?"

"Director Fernando." Gu Chen saluted him politely.

Fernando didn't care too much, he directly grabbed Gu Chen's arm, pulled Gu Chen into the office himself, and arranged to sit on the sofa.

Afterwards, he personally brewed a cup of coffee for Gu Chen, and then returned to his seat.

Anna casually sat on the sofa beside her, watching the two of them quietly.

"I don't know what advice Director Fernando has come to me this time?"

Compared with the previous few days, Gu Chen clearly felt that Fernando's attitude towards him had taken a qualitative leap.

"Gu Chen." Fernando hesitated to speak, and after repeated entanglements, he said again: "I underestimated you before, but I didn't expect you to help us many times after you came to the Luocheng Police Station. On behalf of Luocheng City police thank you."

"It should be." Gu Chen had already guessed that Fernando would say that, and it was also a compliment.

Fernando waved his hand, stood up directly, walked in front of Gu Chen and said, "Gu Chen, as a Chinese police team, your original task is to jointly patrol."

"However, you were involved in the handling of the case, which invisibly increased the task burden of your Chinese police team. I would like to express my apologies to you here."

Hearing Director Fernando's remarks, why does Gu Chen feel that Fernando is a little embarrassed, or that he loses face.

After all, the detection of these cases was indeed guided by the Chinese police.

As far as this point is concerned, the Luocheng police station is spreading the word.

How many days has Gu Chen been here?

How many days has the Chinese police team been here?

This is a bit overwhelming...

Originally, when the Chinese police came to Italy, they already had their own hot topics.

It can be seen from the local social forums in Luocheng.

At first everyone thought it was a temporary hotspot, but now everyone finds that it is a daily hotspot.

The Chinese police team has appeared in the hot topic column of local social forums for many consecutive days.

If it continues like this, Fernando feels a little embarrassed.

It's not that my own side is doing badly, but that the Chinese police are too good, which sets off the worrying efficiency of the police station.

Thinking that Gu Chen had helped to close the case, Fernando wanted Gu Chen's Chinese police team to return to their duties.

"Director Fernando, in fact, these are what we should do. Find out the truth and let those murderers hiding in the dark corners take action. This is the duty of the police, and it is not hard work."

"Hehe, well said." Fernando couldn't help but gave a thumbs up, and said, "My superior once said hello to me before."

"After all, the Chinese police team came to Luocheng to jointly patrol with our Italian police team. You have not been seen on the streets these days, so the higher-ups have repeatedly urged us not to work hard on you."

"And the public also has great enthusiasm for your Chinese police team. Many people have not even seen you in public."

"Therefore, in order to strengthen the cooperation and publicity between the police of our two countries, I am going to ask Anna to take you to Chinatown, where you Chinese gather. You go there to patrol, which can effectively enhance the relationship between the people of our two countries. What do you think? how?"

"Chinatown?" Gu Chen was still a little excited when he heard this familiar name, and said with a light smile, "It would be the best if we can go to Chinatown to carry out joint patrols."

"Then you agree?" Fernando asked.

Gu Chen smiled lightly: "Yes, I agree. The customer is free to do as he pleases. Our Chinese police team is willing to patrol Chinatown."

"Okay." Fernando finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Then from today, the patrol mission in and around Chinatown will be handed over to your Chinese police team."

Glancing at Anna beside him, Fernando said again: "Anna will cooperate with you."

The two chatted in the office for a while, and then Fernando asked Anna to send Gu Chen out and went to the office to gather the staff.

When Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha from the Chinese police team came to the yard to gather.

Carmelo, Mario and Fabio of the Italian police team also got into the assault vehicle under the arrangement of Anna.

The place everyone is going to is the "quasi" Chinatown.

In Luocheng, the capital of Italy, there are nearly 1 Chinese immigrants living in the neighborhood of Vittorio Square in the city center.

There are more than 600 stores just opened...

In the eyes of many people, this place is like the Chinatown in Los Angeles, USA, and it is the territory of the Chinese in Los Angeles.

However, the city government of Luocheng does not want this area, and the area where it is located, to eventually evolve into a Chinatown in Luocheng.

It was reported by the media in the interested country that the business consultant of the Luocheng municipal authority had previously stated publicly.

We are trying our best to avoid the development of a certain ethnic group's settlement in Luocheng, and a certain ethnic group cannot occupy the entire block.

At the same time, the business consultant pointed out that there should be no Chinatown in Luocheng.

Because around the Spring Festival, some Chinese businessmen hung red lanterns in front of their stores, which attracted protests from some Italian people and demanded that the municipal departments intervene.

So in the end, the Luocheng government racked its brains and dug out an old law enacted in the 20s.

According to the regulations prohibiting foreign characters to be larger than Italian characters, the police were dispatched to ban the red lantern decorations of Chinese merchants.

Some people oppose the construction of Chinatown in Luocheng, precisely because they think that the Chinese will not live in the way of Luocheng, and have no intention of integrating into Italian society.

Before Gu Chen came to Italy, he didn't know anything about the Chinese community in Europe.

At least vaguely, from some usual news reports.

I only know that there are Chinatowns in the United States and England, but I don't know anything about the situation in Italy.

Coming to Luocheng, the capital of Italy this time, also gave Gu Chen a preliminary understanding of Chinatown.

At least this is where the Chinese live more densely, but it can only be the Chinatown that the Chinese themselves call Chinatown.

Of course, some Italian police also habitually call it Chinatown, which means a place where Chinese people gather more concentratedly.

Because most of the shops here are Chinese owners.

The "Chinatown" in Fernando's mouth is just a popular name, and it is actually a quasi-Chinatown name.

When the assault vehicle came to a block near Vittorio Square, Gu Chen already felt a familiar smell.

The square and round Chinese characters, as well as the red decoration, all tell Gu Chen that this is the place where people from his hometown gather.

There is an atmosphere of Chinese culture here, which at least let Gu Chen know that there is such a world in a foreign country, which is a symbol representing Chinese culture.

Although in this area of ​​Chinatown, there is no dignified name of "Chinatown" or "China Town".

However, within a certain community, there are some Chinese living together in a few streets.

The Chinese in this generation have more concentrated stores, which seems to be a "quasi" Chinatown scale.

Therefore, the Chinese in Luocheng often mention Chinatown in rhetoric.

But the Chinatown that everyone talks about is just a few streets near Luocheng Central Railway Station.

"Here we are." After Anna stopped the car, everyone got out of the car and lined up.

Lu Weiwei looked at the small-scale "quasi" Chinatown, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why is this place different from what I imagined?"

"Then what does Chinatown look like in Senior Sister Lu's impression?" Gu Chen asked her curiously.

Lu Weiwei smiled lightly and said, "I can't say, I haven't been there after all, but I remember a relative who went abroad said that he said he had been to Chinatown, the largest city in the United States."

"After visiting, he ridiculed that the Chinatown there is only at the level of the county towns in the interior of the country, and even the county towns in the coastal areas are more beautiful than it."

"So, if this is the criterion for judging, then the Chinatown in Luocheng can only approach the level of villages and towns."

"Haha!" Listening to Lu Weiwei's words, Anna laughed from the sidelines and said, "Officer Lu, your metaphor is very vivid."

"I have been to China many times. Indeed, it is not an exaggeration to summarize Luocheng's Chinatown at the village level."

Turning around and pointing to a street behind, Anna introduced: "From the street here, there are doorways or shop windows of some shops. You can see that there are some square Chinese characters here."

"Actually, the shops of the Chinese people are very small. They look more like a mom-and-pop shop. They are doing physical business. The shops are unpretentious and there is no excessive decoration."

"It seems to be just transferring some outdoor stalls indoors. Maybe it's not easy for a small business to survive."

"Anna." Listening to Anna's introduction to the "quasi" Chinatown, Gu Chen couldn't help but smile and asked her: "You seem to come here often to take care of?"

"Yeah, that's right." Anna replied in fluent Chinese: "Sometimes I find that the shop assistants here are swatting flies in their spare time. After all, the business of many shops does not seem to be very popular."

"But no matter what, the Chinese are taking root and sprouting here. After a while, I believe that they will become big and big. After all, you Chinese are the group that can endure hardship the most."

"That's right." Officer Wang nodded frequently after listening to Anna's explanation.

I thought that since I came to a place where Chinese people gather, I have to take care of the business no matter what, buy some gadgets or something.

At this time, Carmelo came to everyone with arms folded and said calmly: "Here, Chinese who do not speak a foreign language can solve basic food, clothing, housing and transportation problems. Most of them run businesses here, which can be regarded as a way to survive. Bar."

Glancing at Gu Chen, Carmelo said again: "You Chinese are in a foreign country. If you can do this, it is often impossible to come across."

"Wanting to survive here may not be suitable for everyone, but what makes me feel strange is that they always drag their families with them, with a lot of relatives, and each person helps, but they can always survive."

Thinking of these questions, Carmelo also shook his head in confusion.

"That's because helping each other has always been a traditional Chinese virtue. Only by helping each other can we not be bullied in a foreign country. This is also the law of survival." Gu Chen said.

Carmelo shrugged and said with a sneer: "Who knows? I don't care about it anyway."

"But if you Chinese violate local laws, that's my business. I will arrest them without hesitation and let them know what it means to obey the law."

Speaking of this, Carmelo still did not forget to show his crunching fist in front of Gu Chen as a threat.

"Camero, you're really disgusting." Anna glanced at him, then looked back at Gu Chen and said with a smile, "Gu Chen, don't pay attention to him, he is such a crazy person sometimes."

"Camero doesn't like Chinese very much." Mario on the side smiled and explained the reason: "Because Camero bullied a Chinese guy here before, and he was taught by more than a dozen relatives in turn. In the end, he revealed his identity as a policeman, and it is estimated that those Chinese brothers will not let him go, haha."

"Mario, you're enough." Carmelo threw his police cap over in embarrassment when he saw his embarrassment being dug out.
