I am a super cop

Chapter 893 The Mantis Catches the Cicada Oriole Behind
Gu Chen saw the deliberate concealment in Zhang Mu's eyes.

He disguised himself as an infatuated kind, so that he could believe that he really came to Guangming Town for love.

But these can't fool Gu Chen.

From Gu Chen's point of view, Zhang Mu is by no means just a dog-licking image as Zhou Xiaoling said.

On the contrary, Zhang Mu is a thoughtful person.

Been fooling everyone from the start.

If Zhang Mu is an accomplice based on the reasonable reasoning of taking care of Chen, then he must have had contact with Uncle Qin.

And the two conspired to complete the concept of this time-swapping.

"Comrade policeman, what I said is true, I really came to find Zhou Xiaoling." Seeing Gu Chen's sharp and terrifying eyes, Zhang Mu was a little terrified.

In other words, Gu Chen's eyes were like a sharp knife, piercing his heart.

"You've known Uncle Qin for a long time, right?" Seeing that Zhang Mu was starting to panic, Gu Chen cut straight to the point.

Zhang Mu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Yes, I have known Uncle Qin for a long time. On the day I came, I went to the nursing home to inquire about the activities of the Volunteer Association, and I happened to meet Uncle Qin, so I also chatted with him A few words, so I got to know Uncle Qin earlier than you."

"I'm talking about before." Gu Chen looked up at him and continued, "You knew Uncle Qin before you came to Guangming Town, right?"

Zhang Mu was stunned.

Or rather, a little caught off guard.

His eyes were full of panic.

He stared at Gu Chen and grinned wryly: "Comrade policeman, what do you mean by that? I don't understand?"

"I have been in other places before, and Uncle Qin has been living in Guangming Town, Jiangnan City. I have no contact with him. How can you ask such a question?"

"Principal Gao was beheaded, did you know?" Seeing that he was still stubborn, Gu Chen opened up to him.

Zhang Mu's eyes were startled for a moment, and after a few seconds, he asked weakly, "You mean...Principal Gao was killed?"

"Yes, just tonight, you were killed before you went to the bungalow." Gu Chen also told the truth.

Zhang Mu was stunned: "Why... how could this happen? Isn't it okay to see him in the evening? When I was arranged in the dormitory, I even greeted him, why suddenly..."

"Zhang Mu, you're good at acting." If Police Officer Wang hadn't obtained the result of his deduction from Gu Chen, he probably wouldn't have imagined that the young man sitting in front of him from out of town was simply a master of acting.

Zhang Mu shook his head: "I don't understand what you're talking about?"

"The reason is very simple. Principal Gao died in Uncle Qin's house, and the murderer was actually Uncle Qin."

"Qin...Uncle Qin?" Hearing Police Officer Wang's speech, Zhang Mu looked at the crowd with a confused face: "No way? Why is it him?"

"Zhang Mu." Gu Chen stood up, handed the notebook to Lu Weiwei, and came to him himself: "You are honest, who asked you to ask Uncle Qin to play cards? It was really the couple who lived in your dormitory." Grandpa?"

"This..." Zhang Mu was suddenly at a loss for words, and was unable to speak for a long time.

Gu Chen didn't rest, he turned around and opened the door.

Immediately, the people leaning against the door and eavesdropping shrank back in fright.

"Who lives in this dormitory?" Gu Chen asked the crowd.

"Me, and Lao Zhang." A tall and thin old man said in the crowd.

"Then you and Uncle Zhang come in." Gu Chen walked into the room after finishing speaking.

The two old men standing outside also looked at each other, feeling bewildered.

But the police were calling, so they both walked into the house.

After closing the door, Gu Chen asked the two old men to stand in a row, and asked one of the tall and thin old men, "Are you playing cards in the room tonight?"

"That's right." The tall and thin old man nodded, and asked weakly: "Comrade policeman, is it illegal to play cards? We don't spend money, we just play cards, really."

"Tell me the time when you play cards." Gu Chen ignored these and continued to ask.

Another Uncle Zhang hesitated for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "I remember... After dinner, we gathered here to play cards until about 10 o'clock in the evening."

"How many people?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"Three." Uncle Zhang said, "Just the two of us, and Lao Hu next door, we played until about 10 o'clock in the evening to go to bed, because Lao Hu was going to sleep, and then we broke up."

"Then did you ask Zhang Mu to find Uncle Qin to play cards?" Gu Chen glanced at Zhang Mu, then at the two uncles.

Uncle Zhang chuckled and said, "I don't know him very well, Lao Qin, why do we call him? Besides, Lao Qin's temper has always been lofty, so he doesn't bother to play with us."

"That's right." The tall and thin old man also said in a bad mood: "You don't even know how annoying Lao Qin is. When talking to people, he always hates everyone. Few people in our nursing home like him. How could he go? What to call him?"

Seeing that the two elders in the same dormitory had already admitted it, they didn't ask Zhang Mu to call for someone.

At this moment, Zhang Mu felt extremely embarrassed, wishing he could find a hole in the ground and get into it.

"Did you hear that?" Gu Chen glanced at Zhang Mu, and said with a light smile, "They didn't ask you to go and play cards with Uncle Qin, so how can you explain it when you go to Uncle Qin?"

"I……"

Zhang Mu thought for a while, and then quickly explained: "I was wondering if Mr. Hu wanted to go back to sleep. Fighting the Landlord lacks one of three, and I don't know how to do it. Seeing that the two masters still want to continue playing, I said whether to find him or not. Someone came over to accompany them to fight the landlord, and the two of them agreed at the time."

"Eh? Young man, you can't say that."

Feeling that Zhang Mu was going to trick him, the tall and thin old man quickly put aside the relationship and said: "At that time, when Lao Hu left, I wanted to continue playing, but I was also sleepy. You said you should go find someone, but I said no. You want to sleep, but you still go out of the room."

"We thought you were going to the bathroom at the time, but we didn't know you were going to see Lao Qin."

"Besides, we won't find Lao Qin when we are looking for anyone. You said that we asked you to find Lao Qin. I will not agree to that."

"Yes." Uncle Zhang also argued with reason: "We never said that we want you to find Lao Qin to come and play cards with us. You said this yourself, and you can't represent us."

"I……"

Seeing that he was pushed back by the two old men again, Zhang Mu panicked at the moment, feeling that he was going to be exposed.

"Okay, I see. Please go out for a while, thank you for your cooperation."

Gu Chen invited the two old men out of the room, locked the door, and then returned to Zhang Mu.

"Zhang Mu, what else do you have to say? You went to a bungalow in the suburbs tonight to play cards with Uncle Qin, and you wrote and acted at all."

Seeing that Zhang Mu bowed his head and said nothing, Gu Chen said again: "Actually, you know very well that you are not going to play cards with Uncle Qin, but to help Uncle Qin get things."

"Take things?" Zhang Mu was stunned, then shook his head and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, I can restore the scene."

Gu Chen walked to the middle of the dormitory, took the notebook from Lu Weiwei, flipped to the blank page, drew the location of the bungalow where he lived at night, and divided it into four rooms.

Then Liang said in front of Zhang Mu: "The picture you see now is the room we live in at night."

After painting the room on the far right as a shadow, Gu Chen said again: "The room on the far right is the room where Uncle Qin lives."

"And next door to him is Uncle Liu, and Senior Brother Wang and I live next to Uncle Liu, and Senior Sister Lu, Zhou Xiaoling and the others live on the far left."

"Now we're going back to 11pm."

Gu Chen wrote 11 o'clock in the upper right corner of the notebook, and said: "At 11 o'clock, someone knocked on the door outside our yard. There was a lot of noise at that time, and almost all of us were woken up. At that time, we thought it was a mountain. The beast in the room is in the arch, this has also been confirmed by Uncle Qin and Uncle Liu."

"Then... so what?" Zhang Mu expressed puzzlement.

Gu Chen smiled: "Don't worry, what I want to tell you is that at 11 o'clock in the evening, Uncle Liu went outside to check the situation, and he returned to the room after confirming that no one knocked on the door."

"And at this time, Uncle Qin was in the room and asked Uncle Liu about the situation outside."

"At this time, Uncle Qin is in his room."

Zhang Mu nodded silently: "Go on."

Under 11:11 p.m., Gu Chen re-wrote the words around 5:[-] p.m., and finally circled the time.

"You should be familiar with this time, right?" Gu Chen asked Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mu shook his head: "I don't know."

"You don't know, let me tell you. This time is the time when you knocked on the door. At that time, I was also awakened by the sound of your knocking on the gate of the yard. Looking at the time, it was only about five or six minutes past." look."

"Uncle Liu was still going out to check the situation outside."

"This time, he communicated with you through the guardrail. You told him that the two old men in the dormitory wanted to play cards with Uncle Qin. I won't say more about it. We have heard what you said at that time. .”

Hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhang Mu also bowed his head instantly, not daring to speak anymore.

However, Gu Chen didn't end here, but directly pointed it out: "Actually, you didn't come to play cards with Uncle Qin at all, but to help Uncle Qin cover."

"Because at this moment, Uncle Qin is not in the house at all. After killing Principal Gao, he quickly left with Principal Gao's head."

"I...I don't know what you're talking about?" Zhang Mu shook his head, but also said in a vague way: "If it's according to what you said, how could Uncle Qin complete the murder in just five or six minutes? And How could Principal Gao appear in the room where Uncle Qin lives?"

"You're asking a good question. That's what I'm going to say next." Feeling that Zhang Mu fell into the hole he dug, Gu Chen was also unceremonious, and said directly:
"The knock on the door at 11 o'clock in the evening was actually made by Uncle Qin himself."

"He made an appointment with Principal Gao and came to him quietly around 11 o'clock in the evening. There may be some secrets between the two of them."

"And just after Principal Gao sneaked into Uncle Qin's room, Uncle Qin deliberately knocked on the gate of the courtyard, causing noise and waking us up."

"Then I sneaked into my room, and at this time, Uncle Liu went out to check the situation. When he returned after no results, Uncle Qin deliberately asked Uncle Liu to make him believe that it was someone else who knocked on the door, or Animals, so let go of your guard and go back to the room."

After a pause, Gu Chen said again: "At this time, Uncle Qin used a sharp knife to kill Principal Gao in the room, cut off his head, changed Principal Gao into his own clothes, and took his The head left quickly, and went to a secret location that you and he discussed."

"So at this time, it's time for you to make your debut. You deliberately used the excuse of looking for Uncle Qin, and talked with Uncle Liu for a long time."

"After you leave, you go directly to the secret place to find Uncle Qin, take the packed cardboard box, choose a shortcut to return to the nursing home, and knock on the door of Zhao Wenjing's dormitory."

"And at this time, Uncle Liu, who didn't know the situation, saw that there was no movement in Uncle Qin's room, which was a bit abnormal, so he opened the door and found the headless corpse in the room."

"And that corpse is Principal Gao."

Looking at Zhang Mu's trembling body, Gu Chen said again: "Zhao Wenjing doesn't know the situation, thinking that she will leave tomorrow, but there is a package at the door."

"She was enthusiastic for a while, and then sent the head containing Principal Gao to the bungalow, and we happened to meet it."

Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen also felt relieved and said, "If it weren't for the warmheartedness of Sister Zhao Wenjing, maybe we wouldn't be able to discover the tricks in the first place, and it would be impossible for us to think of these things in the first place."

"It can be said that these are all predestined in the dark. From the very beginning when you came to Guangming Town, you didn't have the mentality to see Zhou Xiaoling at all."

"It's for a certain purpose, using Zhou Xiaoling's volunteer activities this time to cover up his purpose of collaborating with Uncle Qin to kill people."

Seeing that Zhang Mu's face turned blue, Gu Chen suddenly asked loudly: "What kind of grudge does Principal Gao have against you? You actually want to join hands with Uncle Qin to kill him?"

"I... I don't know, I don't know what you're talking about."

Zhang Mu's psychological defense collapsed, but he was still stubborn and refused to tell the truth.

Officer Wang also warned: "Zhang Mu, don't think that if you don't admit it, we won't find any clues. You must have contacted Uncle Qin in advance when you came to Guangming Town, Jiangnan City."

"Our police technicians can still figure out this clue. I advise you to be honest."

Seeing that Zhang Mu was unmoved, Gu Chen continued: "I remember that when Uncle Qin communicated with me in the kitchen during the day, he once said a word: meanness is the pass of the mean, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble."

"Obviously, he, Uncle Qin, is a wise man, an expert who understands philosophy very well."

"However, an expert wants to do such a thing. I think about the reason. It must not be that simple."

Glancing at Zhang Mu, who was about to have a nervous breakdown, Gu Chen said again: "Principal Gao has been in Guangming Town for so long, and he, Uncle Qin, didn't choose the time to do it, but why is it that after you came to Guangming Town, he, Uncle Qin, wanted to kill you?" How about killing Principal Gao?"

"I think there is a large part of the reason. It should be your instigation. Uncle Qin may have no choice but to kill Principal Gao."

"But he was afraid that he would not be able to get rid of the suspicion if he did this, so he wanted to go far away and create a corpse of himself beheaded so that he could disappear out of thin air."

"He knows that even if the police confirm that the headless body is not him, they still can't find out where he went, but it is a pity that the only passage connecting Guangming Town to the outside, that is, the old bridge has collapsed, even if Uncle Qin wants to Even with wings, he can't fly out of Guangming Town."

Leaning forward, Gu Chen warned, "If you don't tell me where Uncle Qin is now, I think you should know the consequences, or you have already murdered Uncle Qin?"

"Ah?" When Gu Chen said this, Zhang Mu shrank back in fright.

Meanwhile, Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang were also dumbfounded.

"Junior Brother Gu." Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, but said in disbelief, "You mean... this Uncle Qin is likely to be silenced by Zhang Mu?"

Gu Chen nodded slightly: "If Uncle Qin was forced to kill Principal Gao as a last resort, then the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole will definitely kill him, otherwise he will not be able to guarantee that after Uncle Qin is arrested, Will not confess myself."

"Because this oriole is very smart, he knows that he disrupted the time layout of the scene, created all kinds of impossibilities, used other objective conditions to cover himself, and then cleaned up Uncle Qin's body, then pretended nothing happened, and was driven back to other places by Zhou Xiaoling .”

"In this way, he can clean up the murder case, and he is just a poor guy who came to Guangming Town once because of emotional injuries. Am I right? Mr. Zhang Mu? "

The scene was extremely silent.

Zhang Mu no longer knew how to face Gu Chen in front of him.

There was despair and disbelief in his eyes.

He didn't expect that the young policeman standing in front of him could see through all the steps he had carefully prepared to commit the crime in such a short period of time.

Although Zhang Mu designed a perfect time difference, who would have known that this young policeman who appeared out of nowhere completely disrupted all his plans.

There are also natural and man-made disasters.

In a rainstorm, an overloaded heavy truck broke the bridge.

If the old bridge hadn't collapsed, maybe these policemen wouldn't be here.

If it wasn't for the collapse of the old bridge, maybe I could come and leave quietly as a stranger, without taking any thoughts with me.

Not only can he use Zhou Xiaoling's status as a dog licking dog to complete the lore of several people, but he can also use the excuse of being driven away by Zhou Xiaoling to retreat completely.

"Huh!" Zhang Mu took a deep breath, rubbing his hands hard on his cheeks, and suddenly laughed out a strange movement.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, the oriole was caught by the hunter, I was too confident."

Glancing at Gu Chen, Zhang Mu's eyes began to turn ferocious. He sneered and said, "Everything was originally under my control, but why? Why did you appear here?"

"Without you, all this would have ended. No one knows how these two people died, let alone that she, Zhou Xiaoling, is just a pawn I used."

Speaking of this, Zhang Mu suddenly cried. He stared at Gu Chen and cried, "Why? Why did you appear? Why? Why is this?"

……

　Ask for tickets, all kinds of requests.
