I am a super cop

Chapter 810 Self-directed and self-acted?

Everyone stared at Gu Chen, wondering if Gu Chen was joking?

Although Gu Chen could swim, the sinking of the ship just now scared everyone, and Lu Weiwei almost jumped to save him.

"You said you were rafting on the lake well, but why did you sink the boat?" Ding Liang, the roommate, hurriedly checked Gu Chen's body, and after making sure that he was not injured, he couldn't help complaining.

After police officer Wang helped Gu Chen up, he also asked, "What did you talk to yourself just now? What do you know? What do you know?"

"I know why Liu Biao sank to the bottom of the lake that day, and why we couldn't see the boat on the lake." Gu Chen also took a deep breath and wiped off the water stains on his face.

From Gu Chen's point of view, the observation and experience he had just stayed on the boat were enough to support his previous judgment.

But when Gu Chen said this, everyone didn't quite understand.

You especially don't understand why the boat suddenly sank.

So Huang Zunlong asked: "Gu Chen, what do you mean, is there really something wrong with this boat?"

"No problem, will I sink?" Gu Chen asked Huang Zunlong.

Huang Zunlong snapped his fingers and said, "I see, this boat has been tampered with, right?"

Gu Chen flicked Huang Zunlong's forehead lightly: "You are still smart, this ship has indeed been tampered with."

As soon as the words fell, everyone at the scene looked at each other in blank dismay.

Lu Weiwei quickly ran to the shore, and said to the sunken boat in the lake, "Could it be that when Liu Biao rowed to the lake, it was because of a problem with the boat that he fell into the water?"

Gu Chen nodded slightly.

"Then...he can't swim yet?" Lu Weiwei glanced at Xiao Gang.

Xiao Gang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and admitted: "No...that's right, Liu Biao really can't swim."

Gu Chen took off his shirt, wrung out the water, and then said: "I have carefully observed every detail of the boat, and found that there is an artificial hole in the bottom of the boat."

"But it's a clever design, the hole is covered by a plank, and the hole is plugged with some dirt, hay and rags."

"That's why, I had no problem paddling in the lake before, but after a while, the leaks started to show up and eventually the boat sank."

"Gu Chen." Officer Wang frowned, and said seriously: "According to what you mean, this is completely murder? It was because someone deliberately drilled a hole in the boat that Liu Biao died in the lake and eventually became an aquarium animal." food?"

Gu Chen nodded slightly, but did not deny it.

Gu Chen had a similar guess before, but has been struggling with no evidence to support it.

But just now he personally experienced boating on the lake, which allowed Gu Chen to find the root of the problem.

According to Xiaogang's previous remarks, the two small boats have not been used for a long time, which means that the probability of using them is extremely low.

But just like this, if Liu Biao boarded the boat in a hurry, no matter which boat Liu Biao got on, he would eventually die in the middle of the lake.

As for those who knew that Liu Biao didn't know how to swim, and knew that Liu Biao was planning to escape in those few days, Xiao Gang was undoubtedly very suspicious.

But Gu Chen didn't expose it right away, but suggested: "Now the boat has sunk to the bottom of the lake, but fortunately it sank on the shore, so it's not difficult to salvage it."

Looking back at Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong, Gu Chen said again: "How about we find some people, get some tools, and fish this boat together?"

"No problem." Ding Liang glanced at Xiao Gang, and urged, "I said Xiao Gang, don't just stand there stupidly, hurry up, find someone to come over, and bring some strong rope by the way."

"Oh, no... no problem, I'll call someone." Xiao Gang seemed to be in a daze, and under Ding Liang's urging, he hurriedly led everyone to the direction of the new pier.

Not long after, Xiao Gang rushed to the scene with several staff members from the Yangtian Lake Hotel.

Also brought some rope tools...

Everyone put the tools in a row, and a staff member responsible for the search and rescue on the Yangtian Lake said: "The place where the boat sinks is not very deep. I will fix the underwater boat, and we will pull it up together later."

"No problem, thank you for your hard work, master." Officer Wang stepped forward and patted the staff on the shoulder.

Soon, the staff in charge of water search and rescue took off their coats and shoes, wore only a pair of underpants, and with the assembled tools, jumped into the water with a "plop".

There is an iron hook at the head of the rope, which is used to fix the orientation of the hull.

The staff moved skillfully, and quickly hooked the rope to the iron hook on the bow.

After confirming that it was stable, he dived out of the water, touched the water marks on his face, and waved to everyone on the shore: "Okay, pull it up."

"One two... three! One two... three..."

It was also in the chants of everyone, including the police and the staff of the Yangtian Lake Hotel, who worked together to drag the boat up.

Since the front end of the old pier is a marble step deep into the water, boarding is generally a vertical structure on both sides.

The wreck of Gu Chen's ship is on the edge of the steps, so even if it sinks to the bottom of the lake, everyone can clearly see it standing on the shore.

So everyone dragged the hooked rope towards the pier in the direction of steps.

Due to the buoyancy of the lake water, it is not difficult to tow the boat to the pier.

After dragging to the stepped marble, everyone worked together to drag the boat to the shore in one go.

"Huh." Gu Chen took a deep breath, then stretched out his hand and said, "That's fine, let's put it here."

"Oh my god, it's too heavy."

"My waist, is this too tiring?"

"I didn't expect that a ship that doesn't look big can be so heavy?"

"If it weren't for our large number of people, we might not be able to drag them ashore."

……

Many staff members are rubbing their muscles and bones, and they are tired.

Gu Chen also thanked everyone: "Thank you for your help just now, and I am here to thank everyone."

"It's okay." A staff member of the Yangtian Lake Hotel waved his hand, but asked Gu Chen, "But I said, what are you police trying to do with this boat? It's a broken boat, and no one usually uses it."

"That's right." Another staff member complained, "If you're going to the lake, why don't you come directly to the new pier? Don't those speedboats smell good?"

"That's not what I mean." Seeing that everyone didn't understand, Gu Chen explained directly: "The reason why I want to experience this ship is because I think of myself as Liu Biao thinking about problems."

"Think of yourself as Liu Biao?" Everyone heard the words, but they didn't understand why.

Gu Chen walked up to the crowd and explained in detail: "I have tried this boat. If it is used normally, it is very stable and has high safety performance."

"Even ordinary people, who can't swim, can easily operate it, and there is no chance of falling into the water due to improper operation, because they are all sitting and rowing."

"But it's strange that Liu Biao sank to the bottom of the lake under such circumstances, and the wrecked boat has not been found so far."

Seeing everyone's serious faces, Gu Chen said again: "Usually in this situation, the boat must have sunk to the bottom of the lake, just like what I did just now."

"It didn't sink right away, but it needed to paddle a certain distance, and then the dirt, hay and rags that blocked the hole gradually disintegrated, and finally sank to the bottom of the lake."

"Is there a loophole?" Lu Weiwei hadn't heard Gu Chen mention it much before, but just now when Gu Chen said this, Lu Weiwei was the first to rush to the small boat, and began to use her shrinking baton to inspect the small boat on the spot.

But this investigation doesn't matter, Lu Weiwei was surprised to find that besides the loophole that Gu Chen mentioned just now, Lu Weiwei also found several other hidden loopholes.

Hit it hard with a baton, and you can quickly find that the dirt, hay and rags that blocked the hole were quickly smashed to pieces.

"Shocking." Lu Weiwei couldn't help but sighed, staring at the staff of the Yangtian Lake Hotel in front of her and said, "Look at your boats, isn't this fatal? How can this kind of boat be used?"

"But...but we didn't do this." A tall and thin staff member said aggrievedly, "These two ships are supposed to be spare ships."

"And when we usually go to the center of the lake, we always use the speedboat on the new pier. Who still uses this kind of boat?"

"That's right." Another chubby staff retorted: "Even if it is a spare, we have no reason to destroy it? There is no reason to dig so many holes in the bottom of the ship. It feels like it should be man-made. Who is so wicked? "

Seeing that the staff were all thinking about it, Gu Chen walked directly to Lu Weiwei, took the baton from her hand, and wiped away the mud residue from several leaks on the bottom of the boat, then confirmed and said: "After inspection, there are a total of 4 a loophole."

"It can be said that the murderer really took great pains to 'surprise' Liu Biao, and even the traces of the entrance of the cave are new, so it can be seen that the murderer did not prepare long in advance."

Glancing at the nervous Xiao Gang, Gu Chen turned to the others and asked, "Does anyone know that Liu Biao doesn't know how to swim?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.

Then, a tall and thin staff member took the initiative to step forward and said, "Comrade police, we really don't know whether Liu Biao can swim or not, but we usually go to Yangtian Lake to swim in our spare time, but we have never seen Liu Biao. Biao went into the water."

"So?" Gu Chen asked.

"So I feel that Liu Biao should be a landlubber. No one here knows whether he can swim or not." The tall and thin employee said.

Gu Chen shook his head and smiled: "Wrong, there is indeed someone here who knows that Liu Biao doesn't know how to swim, and that person is Liu Biao's fellow...Xiao Gang."

"Xiao Gang?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, everyone turned their attention to Xiao Gang.

Xiao Gang also backed away in fright, and said with a wry smile: "I... I do know that Liu Biao doesn't know how to swim. We are fellow villagers. Isn't it normal to know?"

"Of course." Gu Chen patted Xiao Gang on the shoulder, telling him not to be too nervous, and then asked: "You are the one who knows that Liu Biao wears shoes when he sleeps, so it can be seen that Liu Biao at that time already knew that someone would come to him. "

"Then I'm puzzled. Since you know that Liu Biao did this to escape from certain people, you will definitely break the window to escape when you encounter danger, and you will definitely choose to go boating at the old pier."

"Then...why is it a coincidence that the boat was tampered with suddenly? There should not be many people who know about Liu Biao's situation, right?"

"Hehe." Xiaogang laughed dryly, and said in embarrassment: "I know that Liu Biao is being troubled by others, and I am not the only one who sleeps wearing shoes."

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded slightly, and continued: "Of course you're not the only one, but not many people know about the escape from the lake, right?"

"He wouldn't tell others this kind of secret, and you are his fellow Liu Biao. He trusts you and might tell you."

"And once you know Liu Biao's escape route, you have to do something on the boat so that Liu Biao dies quietly in the lake. I'm afraid you, Xiaogang, are the most suspicious."

"No...it's not me." Xiaogang became anxious when he heard that, and quickly clarified for himself: "Liu Biao is my fellow villager, I...how could I harm him? I didn't."

"Let's talk about it later." Gu Chen could clearly see Xiao Gang's anxiety, which showed that there was still something wrong with this person.

However, if the two small boats were to be smashed in such a short period of time, it could be seen that it still took a little effort.

It can be deduced from this that the murderer did not want to kill Liu Biao directly, but just wanted to use the illusion that the murderer wanted to kill Liu Biao to let Liu Biao board the ship and escape.

Then with the help of the boat that had already been shattered, Liu Biao, who did not know how to swim, was drowned silently in the center of the lake.

It can be seen that the murderer is thoughtful.

Everything shows that the murderer wanted to eliminate the traces of the crime, so that everyone would think that Liu Biao drowned himself in the center of the lake.

Of course, Liu's forensic examination also confirmed this, but the murderer also knew that the police could confirm this.

This method of killing Liu Biao without contact can be said to be a murder without blood. In addition, the corpse was soaked in the lake for a few days, even if there were slight traces, it would be soaked without a trace.

Gu Chen turned around and said to a staff member of the Yangtian Lake Hotel: "Then please go and get the monitoring, the time is just a few days before Liu Biao disappeared, help me focus on the old pier, has anyone approached it? "

"No problem." The tall and thin staff member nodded silently, feeling that the situation was not optimistic.

Just about to turn around, Gu Chen stopped him again: "Wait."

"What's wrong? Is there any other order?" The tall and thin staff member turned to Gu Chen again.

"By the way, check if anyone has borrowed some tools that can cut through the hull in the past few days." Gu Chen said.

The tall and thin staff nodded again: "Understood, I will come as soon as I go."

Gu Chen then said to Ding Liang: "Ding Liang, you go with him."

"Okay." Ding Liang nodded slightly and followed directly behind.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense...

Seeing everyone gathered together, Gu Chen proposed: "Xiao Gang, there are many people here, how about we go to your room and have a chat?"

"Ah?" Xiao Gang raised his head abruptly, he had been in high tension just now, what Gu Chen said made Xiao Gang feel even more frightened.

Lu Weiwei also seemed to have seen Xiao Gang's situation, and couldn't help smiling and said, "Just go to your room to talk."

"Oh, of course, you can come with me." Xiao Gang hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then walked to the door of the dormitory together with heavy steps.

Opening the door, Xiao Gang walked in directly and sat back on his bed.

As for Gu Chen and other colleagues, they stood around each other, as if they were waiting for news from Ding Liang.

The whole room, without the previous relaxation, seemed to be filled with tension even in the air.

Xiaogang has been sitting on the head of the bed, pretending to play on his mobile phone to hide his nervousness.

But all of this is seen by everyone.

Don't tell the truth, everyone understands, and they all know that Xiao Gang seems to have a problem.

Not long after, Ding Liang pushed the door open and said happily, "Gu Chen, guess what I found?"

Gu Chen smiled: "Don't be a secret, tell me, what did you find?"

Ding Liang glanced at Xiaogang first, then sat back next to Gu Chen, and said seriously: "I went to the surveillance of the few days before Liu Biao disappeared, and found that there was no one passing by the old pier, but There is one person who frequently appeared near the old pier during those few nights."

"Furthermore, according to the check-in and check-out records of materials from the warehouse of Yangtian Lake Hotel these days, only one person borrowed some tools that can break the bottom of a boat under the pretext of repairing dormitory furniture."

"And it can also be clearly shown in the video that the man went to the old pier with tools."

"Who is that person you're talking about?" Although Lu Weiwei knew who it was, she still asked Ding Liang on purpose.

Ding Liang glanced at Xiao Gang who was pretending to be playing with his mobile phone: "This is Liu Biao's roommate, Comrade Xiao Gang."

"Clap!"

Just as Ding Liang finished speaking, Xiao Gang's hands trembled, and the phone fell to the ground.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him at the moment, Xiao Gang smiled wryly, and quickly explained: "Just... just a slip of the hand, you don't have to look at me like that, do you?"

"Where's the video?" Gu Chen stared at Xiao Gang, ignored him, and directly asked Ding Liang for the video with his right hand.

Ding Liang opened the photo album on his mobile phone, and played the few scenes he had taken directly to Gu Chen.

In the video, Xiaogang's sneaky figure keeps appearing near the old pier to observe secretly, appearing extremely cautious.

In the first few days, it may be because he is not very familiar with the surrounding surveillance layout, so Xiao Gang in the picture seems to have been looking for the location of the surveillance.

But after discovering the monitoring, Xiao Gang became extremely cautious in the next few days, and seemed to be dodging deliberately every time he passed near the old pier.

And the picture of borrowing tools from the warehouse of Yangtian Lake Hotel is also vivid.

Xiao Gang took tools to the old wharf of Yangtian Lake, all of which were captured in several videos.

Gu Chen returned the phone to Ding Liang, and then asked Xiao Gang, "Xiao Gang, what else do you want to say?"

"I..." Xiao Gang raised his head, and when he saw Gu Chen's sharp eyes staring at him, he quickly looked back.

Gu Chen said directly: "I don't think the person Liu Biao wants to hide from is not you, because you and him are roommates, he won't think it's you, so he relaxes his vigilance against you."

"But I don't understand. If someone really wants to kill him, what kind of role will you play in it? Are you an accomplice of this group of people? Or... From the beginning, all this did not exist, but you Are you directing and acting yourself?"
