I am a super cop

Chapter 974 Disappearing Items

"At the third sharp turn down the mountain from Xiaoliushan Farmhouse, there was a guardrail over there that was broken, and that's where it was."

After Ah Jing finished speaking, Gu Chen had already packed his things and was ready to go.

Now Gu Chen has two guesses.

One is that Ah Jing was lying, the car accident was caused by fatigued driving, and she had delusions of persecution.

The other is that the sales manager has tampered with it, and abnormal behavior can explain everything.

But no matter what the situation is, Gu Chen has to prepare with both hands.

It is necessary to stay behind in the hospital, and it is also necessary to monitor these gangs.

After contacting Officer Wang and He Junchao on the phone, Gu Chen drove again and took Lu Weiwei to the scene of the car accident.

……

……

When they came to Xiaoliu Mountain, where Ah Jing mentioned, there were very few vehicles on the scene, a guardrail was knocked open, and the entire guardrail was seriously damaged.

On the side of the road, there are temporary cordons and cone-shaped roadblocks erected by traffic police.

After Gu Chen parked the car in a relatively safe place, he got out of the car and went to the scene with Lu Weiwei to investigate.

"Here." Lu Weiwei pointed to the deep brake marks on the ground, and said, "This should be the tire mark left by A Jing when she rushed out of the guardrail when she got off the car."

Gu Chen squatted down, took out a knife, and conducted evidence collection work on the tire marks on the ground at the scene.

Scratch the friction marks on the road surface, scrape out the tire powder particles, and then put them into a transparent evidence collection bag.

Although judging from the traces on the road surface, it is indeed the traces produced by Ah Jing's vehicle when it braked, but there are few friction traces in such a state in the direction of the meeting on the opposite road.

But this is a sharp turning intersection, and many vehicles will meet here, so some black marks of tires will be left.

Especially according to Ah Jing's narration, the vehicle on the opposite side was driving very fast at that time, almost rushing towards her directly.

It can be seen especially that at a sharp turning intersection, the opposite vehicle will definitely leave deep braking marks.

But Gu Chen didn't notice any of this at the scene.

No wonder the traffic police were suspicious of Ah Jing's driving status.

In particular, it is suspected that Ah Jing was driving drunk or taking special drugs, or driving while fatigued.

But judging from the current situation, the traffic police seem to believe that Ah Jing is driving due to fatigue.

Because the incident happened in the middle of the night, and I came out of the private room of the farmhouse just now, people stayed in an extremely exciting environment for too long, and suddenly they had to face the darkness and silence again.

Perhaps the driving state has not been adjusted in time, which may have caused this traffic accident.

But no matter what it is, what Gu Chen has to do is to conduct a comprehensive survey.

"There are no obvious brake marks at the meeting point on the opposite side, and there is no such situation as Ah Jing said." Gu Chen numbered the collected powder particles, and then stood up.

Lu Weiwei said: "Could it be that the driver who caused the accident cleaned up the scene?"

Gu Chen shook his head: "No, because no matter how you clean it up, there will be traces left on the scene, brakes will have brake marks, and cleaning the road will leave traces of cleaning the road."

"But from the current point of view, I only found the brake marks left by A Jing, which is consistent with what the traffic police said. The vehicle that A Jing said did not exist."

"It doesn't exist?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Lu Weiwei froze for a moment.

She checked the curved road again, and said thoughtfully, "Could it be that Ah Jing really hit a ghost last night?"

"Do you believe it?" Gu Chen asked her.

Lu Weiwei shook her head: "I don't believe it."

"That's right." Gu Chen also walked towards the police car.

Lu Weiwei trotted along and asked Gu Chen, "Junior Brother Gu, what do you think is the most likely situation?"

"Not very clear." Gu Chen opened the car door and sat in the driving seat.

Lu Weiwei quickly got into the co-pilot, buckled up her seat belt, and asked, "Then where are we going now?"

"Xiaoliushan Farmhouse, I want to see the surveillance over there." Gu Chen said.

……

……

Driving the car, Gu Chen continued to drive up the mountain.

The building in front of me is also getting closer.

Xiaoliu Mountain was not well-known before. Although all the scenery is original, it does not appear to be outstanding in the aesthetic eyes of modern people.

Only in recent years, after secondary development, some Internet celebrity check-in places have been artificially created, so they have become famous.

In addition, Xiaoliu Mountain is not far from the urban area, so many people like to drive to the mountain to watch the sunset after dinner.

Therefore, farmhouse, a place integrating leisure, entertainment and catering, was born.

Although there are many large and small farmhouses, but from Ah Jing's statement, it seems that Xiaoliushan Farmhouse is the largest one on Xiaoliushan, and the location is also the best.

The police car slowly drove into the parking lot of the farmhouse, and an old man sitting outside stood up immediately.

Logically speaking, it was too early to eat at this time, and the person who came was a police car, so I felt very curious.

As Gu Chen drove all the way, he also surveyed the road conditions on the spot.

Except for the monitoring at the entrance of the parking lot of Xiaoliushan Farmhouse, there are almost no cameras on the surrounding roads, which also adds a lot of difficulty to the investigation.

After getting out of the car, the old man walked up slowly and asked, "Comrade policeman, do you want to eat?"

Gu Chen shook his head, pointed at the building of the farmhouse and asked, "Is the boss there?"

"Here, are you looking for the boss?" The old man knew that Gu Chen didn't come here to eat, so he must be here for business.

Because before coming here, Gu Chen heard from Ah Jing in the ward that there are often people gathering to play cards at night, and the amount of money played is not small.

That's why Gu Chen felt that the old man guarding the entrance of the parking lot was probably giving these people a break or something.

Of course, these are just Gu Chen's guesses.

There are very few vehicles during the day, and it is estimated that there are not many people playing cards.

These days, people who gather a lot of bloggers have also learned well, and like to hide in the mountains, how to hide.

The old man led Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei in, and shouted something upstairs.

Soon, a tall, thin, middle-aged man with short hair slowly walked down the stairs.

Seeing that both of them were wearing police uniforms, they immediately quickened their pace.

"Comrade policeman, welcome. I wonder what you can do in our shop?"

"Do you know this person?" Gu Chen opened the phone photo album, and asked Liang Liang in front of the boss according to the photo provided by He Siya.

The tall and thin boss squinted his eyes, looked carefully for a moment, then nodded and said: "I know, he has been here a few times, and there are quite a lot of people every time, because he is the one who pays, so I have an impression of him." .”

Gu Chen looked left and right at the scene and found that the farmhouse has a lot of surveillance cameras, so he asked the boss: "Which box did they spend their money last night?"

The boss looked at Gu Chen vigilantly, and asked weakly: "Comrade policeman, did they do something wrong?"

"His colleague had a car accident last night and rushed out on the winding mountain road. Did you know about this?" Lu Weiwei also asked him.

The boss immediately nodded and said: "Yes, this matter has been reported this morning, and I only found out this morning."

After the words fell, the boss suddenly said in surprise: "But, the traffic police also came to ask before, why are you here again?"

"The traffic police is the traffic police, we are us, don't worry about it, just find out the private room they spent last night."

Lu Weiwei didn't want to talk nonsense with him either.

The boss seemed to understand, so he nodded and said, "Then come with me."

Leading everyone in, the boss pushed open the door of a box, and a huge box appeared in front of the two of them.

It is said to be a box, but the dining table and karaoke equipment are all available inside.

Not only that, even the mahjong table belongs to Peggy.

After checking, Gu Chen exited the room, pointed to a surveillance camera at the door and said, "How many surveillance cameras are installed in your farmhouse?"

"Four." The boss said.

"Are they all turned on?" Gu Chen asked again.

The boss nodded: "That's right, mainly at the intersection of passageways, as well as the cash register, and the intersection of the parking area at the door."

"Show us yesterday's surveillance video." Lu Weiwei said.

The boss nodded and agreed to the police's request.

Afterwards, Gu Chen compared the team members of the sales manager in turn, and compared them in the monitoring, and confirmed that there were 11 main members who came to the box for consumption.

And there are some entourages among them, mainly some young women, and the number is also 11.

Gu Chen then dragged the surveillance screen to Ah Jing's appearance.

At this time, Gu Chen paid close attention to the situation at the door of the box.

Just 10 minutes after Ah Jing entered the box, a short-haired man walked out of the room. After looking at everything, he walked to the backyard.

Afterwards, Gu Chen adjusted the monitoring screen to the backyard.

In the past five or six minutes, the man was riding an electric tricycle and started driving towards the back door.

It didn't take long to appear at the intersection of the farmhouse parking lot.

At this time, the surveillance at the door could only capture the back of the man.

"Is this tricycle from your store?" Gu Chen asked the boss.

The boss squinted his eyes and nodded fiercely: "That's right, it's from our store, mainly for moving goods."

"What is this guy doing out on a tricycle?" Lu Weiwei didn't quite understand, and always felt that the man's departure seemed a little strange.

Everyone was originally in the box, and he was the only one to go out, which is somewhat unreasonable.

You know, all kinds of items are available in the box, and all kinds of goods are sold in the farmhouse, which can fully meet the needs of guests.

But at this time, a member of the sales manager's gang rode a three-wheeler and left in a hurry in the middle of the night, which made people somewhat suspicious.

Gu Chen continued to fast forward the camera.

The man still didn't show up until he saw Ah Jing going out.

Afterwards, Gu Chen adjusted the monitoring screen to the parking lot compound.

At this time, Ah Jing was walking in a smooth and steady manner, as she herself said, she did not drink or eat anything at all.

Judging from the monitoring screen, there is no sign of sleepiness.

Especially when driving out, the movements are skillful, and there is no abnormality in the driving of the vehicle.

"That's strange." Gu Chen looked at the disappearing screen in the surveillance, and couldn't help but feel puzzled: "This Ah Jing is fine, could it be that the man is the problem?"

Thinking of this, Gu Chen continued to fast forward the monitoring.

At this time, Gu Chen found that in the private room, the manager went out and seemed to be on the phone.

The noise in the private room forced him to go out.

In the picture, the manager returned to the private room after a brief communication.

Not long after, the man who had disappeared for a long time returned to the private room.

After that, several people continued to stay in the private room for a long time, until around 2 o'clock in the morning, the driver drove them away.

Seeing this, Gu Chen asked the owner of the farmhouse, "Where is this tricycle now?"

"It's parked in the backyard," said the boss.

"Take me there to have a look." Gu Chen continued to ask.

The boss didn't know what the purpose of Gu Chen's trip was, but he reluctantly agreed, "All right, you guys come with me."

Continue to follow the owner of the farmhouse, and the three of them came to the backyard together.

Gu Chen also walked out of the building directly following the path of the man who disappeared halfway.

A large area here is a blind spot for monitoring, and only an electric tricycle is parked under a simple carport at the back door.

Gu Chen stepped forward and inspected the tricycle.

But Gu Chen soon found a few pieces of green sawdust in the back box of the tricycle.

Holding it in his hand, but he couldn't see where it came from, Gu Chen asked the boss, "Where did this thing come from?"

"This... I don't know either?" The boss shook his head like a rattle.

Gu Chen asked again: "Then near your backyard, which trees are green?"

The boss pondered for a few seconds again, but still shook his head to express his ignorance.

"Forget it, let us look it up ourselves." Feeling that she couldn't get an answer from the boss, Lu Weiwei simply relied on herself.

At this moment, the boss also seemed to feel that Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, like the traffic police who came here before, came to find out about the car accident.

It's just that the traffic police came to inquire about drunk driving, and after asking about the situation briefly, they left.

But Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei are different, they seem to investigate with the mentality of handling a case.

The on-site investigation is also more careful, which makes the boss a little guilty, for fear that if he does not do well, he will get himself into a lawsuit.

So Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were allowed to check in the backyard.

The backyard is divided into two parts, the kitchen and the utility room.

Since it is almost noon, the dish washing aunts are busy.

Holding the green sawdust in his hand, Gu Chen looked around the scene, but found no matching green wood.

So Gu Chen focused his investigation on the utility room.

The utility room is very large, with all kinds of broken furniture and discarded items.

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei carried out a carpet search of the items in the house according to the principle of advancing from left to right.

But when she reached the middle position, Lu Weiwei suddenly pointed to a wall and said, "Junior Brother Gu, look quickly, there seems to be something that has been moved here."

Gu Chen looked back, indeed, a clean cuboid shape appeared on the wall.

Since the surrounding dust is too obvious, it is easy to tell with the naked eye that a rectangular object was obviously placed on this wall before.

Gu Chen pointed to the wall and asked the boss: "What was placed in this place before?"

"Before?" The boss scratched the back of his head and said in a daze, "This... I don't know very well, after all, the utility room is full of waste items, and I rarely come here, so I don't know what exactly is there? "

"Then who has the key to the utility room?" Lu Weiwei asked.

The owner of the farmhouse shook his head: "There is no key in the utility room, and it is not locked. It is mainly to facilitate the staff of the farmhouse to carry items at any time, because there are some vegetables that are not perishable on the shelves at the door."

"Unlocked?" Gu Chen noticed this problem, and nodded silently: "Then, the man last night can also enter the utility room at any time, maybe he was in the utility room and took away something."

Just as Gu Chen thought of this, a middle-aged woman in an apron and sleeves came over with a red bucket to load vegetables.

Seeing the presence of the police and the boss, the middle-aged woman was also taken aback for a moment.

Lu Weiwei took the opportunity and hurried forward, grabbed the middle-aged woman and asked, "Sister, do you know this location, and what was the item placed there before?"

"This place?" The middle-aged woman squinted her eyes, and said immediately, "This place is just a long mirror. It was placed here before, and we usually come here to get things. When we are free, we can also look at the mirror. .”

"But today is very strange. When I came here early in the morning, I wanted to straighten my hair in front of the mirror, but it turned out that this thing was missing. I saw it last night, and I don't know who took it away."

"Mirror?"

Hearing the middle-aged woman's speech, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei spoke in unison.

Then Gu Chen hurriedly raised the green sawdust in his hands, and asked the middle-aged woman, "Sister, is that long mirror wrapped with green wood?"

"Yes." The eldest sister looked at the green sawdust in Gu Chen's hand, and nodded in affirmation: "It seems to be this kind of sawdust in your hand."

Hearing the middle-aged woman's speech, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that things had made new progress.

From this, it can be seen that the man who left halfway last night was probably riding an electric tricycle and took a rectangular mirror with him in the utility room.

But what he wants to do, it seems that Gu Chen also has a judgment.

But after all, these are just my own guesses. If I want to know the truth, I must find the mirror that disappeared.

"Thank you." Gu Chen thanked the boss and the middle-aged woman, and immediately left the room.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei quickly followed behind.

Only the owner of the farmhouse and the middle-aged woman were left looking at each other, wondering what Gu Chen was thanking?
Coming to the parking lot, Gu Chen didn't drive, but walked out of the yard directly.

Lu Weiwei trotted a few steps quickly, caught up with Gu Chen, and asked, "Junior Brother Gu, where are you going?"

"The place where Ah Jing had a car accident last night is only three bends away from the farmhouse, and the distance is not very far. If that mirror was taken away by the man who left halfway, I don't think he would bring it back. If it was In this case……"

"If that's the case, there's a good chance that the mirror was abandoned nearby, most likely between the farmhouse and the site of the crash?"

Before Gu Chen could speak, Lu Weiwei immediately expressed what was in Gu Chen's mind.

Gu Chen smiled slightly: "Smart, so driving can only be done at a glance. I think it's more reliable to find it on foot. What do you think? Senior Sister Lu."

"Yes." Lu Weiwei nodded fiercely.

Lu Weiwei didn't have any objection to Gu Chen's thoughts, and followed Gu Chen with a smile on her face.

Afterwards, the two walked to the fork in the road and began to look for the missing mirror along the perimeter of the guardrail of the Panshan Highway.
