I am a super cop

Chapter 785 The man in black who races against time 【Seeking Monthly Pass】

The three people most suspected of killing Brother Hu were all arranged by Gu Chen in the duty room on the first floor.

What Gu Chen has to do now is to verify the real information from the confessions of these people.

This needs to involve the testimony of the players, at least it needs to be confirmed that these three people did not leave the scene during the game.

What Gu Chen has to do now is to sort out the confessions of these people and analyze them according to the actual situation.

However, when Gu Chen wrote these data on the whiteboard one by one, he found that it was like a math problem.

Officer Wang, who stood aside and observed Gu Chen for a long time, said, "Do you need help?"

"Not for the time being." Gu Chen didn't hesitate, and wanted to check the data that had been recorded before and take a seat one by one.

Gu Chen wrote Zeng Zhiqiang, Wang Chao, and Liao Kang on the left, middle and right parts of the whiteboard in turn, and listed the testimony data provided by the previous three people below the three.

According to what Lu Weiwei said, indeed, the three of them were leading the team to participate in the competition in the afternoon, and it seemed that they had no time to commit crimes at 5 o'clock.

Especially the gymnasium where these people are located seems to be far away from Xingchen Community.

From Gu Chen's point of view, this is indeed a very difficult problem.

That is how to dialectically calculate whether these people have the possibility of committing crimes.

After all, when it comes to the grievances with the deceased Brother Hu and the intensification of various conflicts, these people seem to have motives.

Although during the interrogation process, many people also held the mentality of pretending to be merciful, but after all, they were all people who had grievances with Brother Hu.

When Brother Hu died, the three of them were secretly happy, and Gu Chen knew this well.

But what Gu Chen has to do now is to screen out which people are crying and gloating, and which people are the real murderers.

After Gu Chen filled in the confession data of these people, he sat back in his seat and began to repeatedly correct the data through the phone map.

On the other hand, Lu Weiwei is also in close communication with the relevant units to confirm whether Zeng Zhiqiang, Wang Chao, and Liao Kang are really in charge of the entire game as they said.

And it was confirmed that the three games were going on normally, and there was no interruption.

11:20pm.

The police officers on duty at the Furong Sub-bureau came in and out several times, but the office of the third criminal investigation team was always brightly lit.

At this time, Lu Weiwei returned to Gu Chen after confirming the phone number of the last Liao Kang's team.

"Junior Brother Gu, I have already verified everything you asked me to investigate and verify."

"How is it?" Gu Chen raised his head and asked Lu Weiwei.

"There is no problem. The three of them were in charge of the entire game, and all games were not interrupted." Lu Weiwei said.

Police Officer Wang sighed, and said in disappointment: "Then, these three people have no time to commit crimes. It seems that we have made a mistake in the direction of our investigation?"

Gu Chen didn't speak, but continued to stare at the whiteboard in front of him, thoughtful.

"Junior Brother Gu." Seeing that Gu Chen's expression was as calm as water, Lu Weiwei asked weakly: "Old Wang said, did our investigation go in the wrong direction?"

"Probably not, because these people's motives for killing are the biggest." Gu Chen re-wrote the calculation draft at the bottom of the whiteboard, and then erased it again.

"But... it is impossible for them to appear in the Xingchen Community at 5 o'clock?" The witness Liu Changfa called the police just after 5 o'clock. He said that the abnormal noise from the room was at 5 o'clock. Liu Changfa, some neighbors can also confirm it. "

Lu Weiwei felt that it was necessary to reorganize her thinking with Gu Chen.

Gu Chen threw the oil-based pen on the whiteboard, then turned around and said: "You are all right. After repeated calculations, I can still confirm that among the three people, one of them is fully qualified. Xingchen Community kills people, and the time is just enough for 5 o'clock."

"You...can you figure it out?" Seeing that Gu Chen had written a lot of calculation drafts densely at the bottom of the whiteboard, Police Officer Wang also had a headache:
"These testimonies sounded overwhelming to me, and they were the confessions of three people. I don't think they are particularly helpful to the case."

"Wrong." Just as Police Officer Wang was complaining, Gu Chen brought a new whiteboard from another place and said, "When you listen to my explanation, you will know what's wrong with it."

Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, feeling that Gu Chen was playing tricks again.

Lu Weiwei smiled and said: "Junior Brother Gu means... the murderer is among them?"

"It can be understood in this way." Gu Chen explained while cleaning the whiteboard: "But I can only infer that one of them has time to commit the crime, but whether it is the murderer or not, we need to follow the clues and investigate further."

"Gu Chen, you...don't be foolish, let's get started." Officer Wang moved his seat to the whiteboard, and the notebook in his hand was ready.

Gu Chen smiled lightly and said, "Then let's start with Zeng Zhiqiang, who was the first to come to the third group among these three people?"

"Okay, let's start with whomever you say we should start." Police Officer Wang didn't ask for it.

Gu Chen wrote Zeng Zhiqiang's name at the top, and then said while writing: "According to our inquiry just now, Zeng Zhiqiang said that he led the team to participate in Group C of the Jiangnan Cup Football League at 3 o'clock in the afternoon."

Glancing at Lu Weiwei, Gu Chen said again: "And Senior Sister Lu has also confirmed that he has indeed led the team to participate in the normal competition, and the score is also very interesting."

"1 to 1, we played a draw with the fish belly team, and then won the penalty shootout." Officer Wang was also present at the time, and couldn't help complaining a few words.

"Yes." Gu Chen wrote the result of the game on another whiteboard, and then said: "We all know that these three coaches have been directing the game on the field until the end of the game, and the three games have not been interrupted. Pass."

"It is known that the football team led by Zeng Zhiqiang achieved a 1-1 result in the match in Group C and won through penalty kicks. This involves a question of the length of the game."

After writing out the four big characters of "game time", Gu Chen continued: "Zeng Zhiqiang led the team to participate in the Jiangnan Cup Football League. When they drew with their opponents, they had to play 30 minutes of overtime. A penalty shootout will be played."

"So, even if we ignore the time of the penalty shootout, at least 135 minutes of the game will be played, plus 10 minutes of travel time. It is definitely impossible for him to arrive at Brother Hu's home in Xingchen Community before 5 pm."

Officer Wang nodded in agreement when he heard the words, "So Zeng Zhiqiang didn't have time to commit the crime at all?"

"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded and said, "Because Zeng Zhiqiang's stadium is only 10 minutes away from Xingchen Community, and this is still a theoretical time, plus some objective factors, Zeng Zhiqiang actually has no time to commit crimes."

"What about Wang Chao? He's the coach of the rugby team. What's the game like?" Seeing that Gu Chen had excluded Zeng Zhiqiang, Lu Weiwei was instantly overjoyed.

"Don't worry." Gu Chen took his time and continued to write Wang Chao's name on another whiteboard, then pointed to the whiteboard and said, "When we talk about Wang Chao, we have to mention his football team. gone."

"Because a rugby game takes 90 minutes, and that doesn't include the interval between games."

"But we need to be clear that Wang Chao's competition venue is an hour's drive away from the Xingchen Community, and the distance is too far."

"So it's hard for Wang Chao to arrive at Xingchen Community at 5 o'clock, even if he arrived at Xingchen Community at 5:30."

"So... so, this Wang Chao has no time to commit crimes?" Lu Weiwei thought the same way before.

Gu Chen nodded slightly: "So he is not the murderer."

"Then Liao Kang is left." Police Officer Wang felt that it was now a point-giving question. Although he didn't know why it was Liao Kang, Gu Chen had already ruled out the two most unlikely candidates.

Gu Chen wrote Liao Kang's name on another whiteboard, and circled it: "Liao Kang led the team to participate in the Jiangnan Cup Football League, and they are in Group A."

"However, according to Liao Kang's dictation, they led the team to achieve a good result of 3 to 1."

"It can be said that Liao Kang's team went smoothly and never experienced extra time and penalty shootouts like Zeng Zhiqiang's team did."

"And the important point is that the venue where Liao Kang's team is located is only about 20 minutes' drive from the murder site."

"Then according to this analysis, only Liao Kang can kill Brother Hu, because the football game lasts 90 minutes, with a 15-minute break in the middle and a 20-minute journey. In this way, he can feel Brother Hu's home in Xingchen Community at around 5:05 p.m. Seal brother Hu's throat with a knife."

"It seems to be possible in theory." Lu Weiwei suddenly realized, and said: "But didn't the witnesses hear the screams at around 5 o'clock? Then there must be some free time, right?"

"That means there is room for flexibility in the 20-minute journey." Gu Chen marked the 20-minute journey again, saying:
"These 20 minutes are the drive I calculated, but considering factors such as traffic jams, in fact, if it is changed to a moped, it may be possible to pass through some alleys, which can greatly reduce the extra distance."

In order to display the content on the mobile phone map more specifically, Gu Chen directly drew a few streets with lines on the whiteboard.

Then on both sides of these streets, the names of the buildings and the stadium where Liao Kang led the team to participate in the game were marked.

Afterwards, Gu Chen followed the drawn road in a straight line and turned directly to Xingchen Community, and finally wrote 20 minutes at the end.

"It's a 20-minute drive, but with a moped we can take this route."

As soon as the voice fell, Gu Chen used the method of wavy lines to shuttle through several buildings, and finally wrote about 12 minutes at the end of the road.

"12 minutes, I calculated it, because if you ride a moped, this is the shortest route."

"And through this route, it is possible to bypass many unnecessary wrongdoings. If the murderer is Liao Kang, then I think that after the game, he will definitely ride a vehicle similar to a moped through the These building alleys come to the so-called Xingchen Community."

"Then after committing the crime, evacuate quickly. Only in this way will there be enough time."

"I see." Lu Weiwei seemed to understand Gu Chen's meaning, and said with a light smile, "I'll go to the control room right now to see if this route is what Junior Brother Gu said."

"That's right." Police Officer Wang said with joy when he heard the words: "If what Gu Chen said is true and Liao Kang is the murderer, then if he wants to complete the crime around 5 o'clock, the only way he can go is This road must be the only way he must go."

"As long as Liao Kang can be found passing here on a vehicle similar to a moped, then this guy will definitely be involved."

"It's not too late, I'll go right away." Lu Weiwei couldn't wait any longer, so she hurried out of the three groups of offices.

About ten minutes later, Lu Weiwei returned to the three groups of offices with a look of surprise.

"How is it?" Upon seeing this, Police Officer Wang was the first to stand up and asked, "Have you found out the result?"

"Guess!" Lu Weiwei deliberately tricked Police Officer Wang.

Officer Wang said with a straight face: "What time is it, and you are still playing sloppy with me."

"Okay, let's stop teasing you. I've already checked the situation." Lu Weiwei took out her mobile phone, walked over to Gu Chen and clicked it away: "Look, Junior Brother Gu, it's exactly as you imagined, this Liao Kang really has ghost."

"He wore completely different sportswear before and after the game, and after he came out of the gym, he changed into the sportswear that eyewitness Liu Changfa mentioned, rode a moped, and drove directly to Xingchen Community."

"And what's even more amazing is that the route that Liao Kang took is exactly the route that Junior Brother Gu said. Do you think it's a coincidence?"

"Haha, it seems that Gu Chen is really good at predicting things." Officer Wang couldn't help complaining when he saw this.

Gu Chen smiled slightly: "It's not like I'm predicting things like a god, but I'm just using the elimination method to exclude Zeng Zhiqiang and Wang Chao first, and then lock in on Liao Kang."

"And Liao Kang's various conditions are the most likely to meet the killing time, but I also noticed another problem, that is, if Liao Kang drives according to the normal route, the time will be relatively short."

"But if he rides on a moped and uses the route through the alley, it will save most of the redundant route, and he will not be bound by traffic lights."

"In this way, this gave him enough time to commit crimes."

"But... Even if we know this, Liao Kang must have been prepared. For example, the monitoring of these alleys is not comprehensive. After committing crimes, Liao Kang will definitely evade monitoring. To find useful The clues are definitely not easy."

"Old Wang, you are splashing cold water again." Lu Weiwei knew that Police Officer Wang would say that, so she clicked another video and said:
"This is the surveillance video of Liao Kang going home. It can be seen that when he returned to his own community, he changed his clothes again. It was a blue sportswear, which was the same as the sportswear he wore when he led the team to participate in the competition. Exactly the same."

"The Liao Kang we saw after the game was wearing a black sportswear, which is also in line with the testimony of eyewitness Liu Changfa. The murderer was wearing a black sportswear."

"But I think that after committing the crime, this guy will definitely dispose of the sportswear he used when he committed the crime. However, during the escape process, he may evade some cameras, resulting in uncontinuous surveillance."

"So?" Gu Chen asked.

Lu Weiwei smiled faintly: "So I took advantage of the reverse argument taught by Junior Brother Gu, directly from the monitoring of Liao Kang's home, all the way backwards, and finally found Liao Kang sneaking around in a garbage dump in the corner of a construction site. Sui’s surveillance screen.”

"So I suspect that the black sportswear worn during the crime must have been discarded by Liao Kang in the garbage dump at the construction site after avoiding surveillance."

"It's great." Seeing that Lu Weiwei helped him solve most of the problems, Gu Chen directly gave an order to Police Officer Wang:

"Senior Brother Wang, inform the security team and patrol team who are on duty nearby tonight to mobilize their manpower, and immediately go to the garbage dump at the construction site that Senior Sister Lu mentioned, and look for this so-called black sportswear."

"No problem, I'll notify you right away." After police officer Wang finished speaking, he was about to take out his mobile phone to make a call.

Gu Chen immediately reminded: "Let them move their hands and feet neatly, and don't destroy the marks on it."

"Don't worry, I will explain it clearly to them." Officer Wang is also an old comrade, so of course he knows these details.

The whole three groups suddenly became busy again.

……

……

The time soon came to 12 o'clock.

Zeng Zhiqiang, Wang Chao and Liao Kang, sitting in the duty room on the first floor, are also old acquaintances in the sports circle of Jiangnan City, especially Zeng Zhiqiang and Liao Kang, who were once in the same football team.

So at the beginning, everyone was joking and guessing in various ways, wondering who the murderer who killed Brother Hu would be?
But the three of them were all summoned by the police to the Furong branch for investigation, so they were suspicious of each other, and from time to time would ridicule each other as the murderer.

And Yuan Shasha was sitting by the side, bragging all kinds of things with a few people.

However, as time passed by, the expressions of the few people who were still bragging before gradually showed anxiety and fatigue.

At this time, a police car drove up from outside, and two police officers from the patrol team trotted over with things in their hands.

Zeng Zhiqiang in the duty room yawned and said, "I said, little comrade, what's the matter with you, Police Officer Gu of the third criminal investigation team? Can you leave without giving a good word? This is to let us stay here overnight." ?”

"That's right, can I sleep in this place? I've already said that there will be a game at night. Isn't it a bit too much for you to do this? Can you give me a specific explanation if you can leave?"

Rugby team coach Wang Chao couldn't help complaining when he saw Zeng Zhiqiang speaking.

Seeing this, Liao Kang on the side quickly echoed and roared: "This day is impossible, and the police have to be reasonable, right? It's impossible to leave us here and leave us alone, right? It doesn't matter if we can leave or not." To be honest, it's too much."

"Who is complaining here?" Just as Liao Kang finished speaking, Gu Chen had brought everyone to the door of the duty room.

Seeing that it was Liao Kang, he immediately curled his lips into a smile: "Who am I? It turned out to be Mr. Liao Kang."

"Hehe, Officer Gu." Seeing that it was Gu Chen, Liao Kang hurried forward and complimented him: "Look, it's getting late, if there's nothing else, can we leave?"

"Okay, you can go." Gu Chen put his hands on his chest and said lightly.

"Really...really?" Seeing that Gu Chen answered so frankly, Liao Kang breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Say it sooner, I don't have to stay here for so long, sooner." You should go home and sleep."

While Liao Kang was complaining, he was about to step out of the door of the duty room, but was stopped by Gu Chen.

Liao Kang was taken aback for a moment, and asked weakly: "Officer Gu, what do you mean? Didn't you say we can leave?"

"I meant the two of them can leave, but I didn't say it was you." Gu Chen glanced at him and said solemnly.
