I'm a Super Cop
Chatper 1871
In the eyes of everyone, what happened that day was indeed unusual.
Especially the two characters Xu Yang and Huahua can get together, which makes most people still can't believe it.
After all, Zhao Bo and Xu Yang had clashed with people from the Clown Club in the bar before.
Especially when everyone heard Zhao Bo's narration, they understood the grievances between the Cobra Club in Rongcheng and the Clown Club in Shanghai.
But they are obviously professional pilots of two unfriendly clubs, but they suddenly look very familiar.
And Huahua bypassed Zhao Bo and left with Xu Yang alone.
This kind of weird behavior makes people think a lot.
Even in the end, Xu Yang didn't reveal the information of the conversation to Zhao Bo, which instead made everyone feel, is this Huahua from the Clown Club using a scheming scheme? Divide the two brothers?
But in terms of what happened afterwards, everyone really believes that there are more elements of estrangement.
Because after that, the relationship between Xu Yang and Zhao Bo was indeed not as warm as that between them.
The two inseparable brothers even started to act alone.
This is not difficult to see from Xu Yang spending the night alone in the bar, the gap between the two seems to be getting bigger and bigger.
Hearing Lu Weiwei's remarks, Xu Yang couldn't help but sighed, and confessed honestly: "Actually, Huahua came to me that day, just to talk to me about my career."
"Your occupational problem? How to say?" Lu Weiwei didn't quite understand.
Xu Yang covered his face with his hands, and said with shame: "Actually, my state has fluctuated a lot recently, and that's all because I learned that Huahua has a boyfriend."
"As you all know, I am easily influenced by emotions. Therefore, it is precisely because of my inattention that my current state has declined all the way, and I am even on the verge of being laid off by the club."
"Later Huahua also saw my problem, so she asked me privately, but I never made it clear."
"It wasn't until later, when she heard that the Jiangnan sub-station of the FPV traversing machine racing competition would be my last battle to prove myself, that she suddenly became worried."
"So, she took the initiative to contact me several times, but because Zhao Bo was by her side, it was inconvenient for me to answer her calls."
"But later, that is, the time you saw, we were in the training ground of the Lanwei Building, and Huahua found me once."
"But this time, in front of everyone, it's inconvenient for me to reveal this to everyone, so..."
"So you called Huahua away alone and explained the matter to her, right?" Before Xu Yang could finish speaking, Gu Chen asked him directly.
Xu Yang nodded silently: "That's right, probably the situation is like this, Huahua asked me, why is the state so bad?"
"She urged me, no matter what, I must reach the top three in this competition, otherwise, with my current state, I will definitely be kicked out by the club."
"Because the club will not allow a professional pilot who has not improved his skills for a long time to take up the club's precious competition quota."
With a faint sigh, Xu Yang tried his best to calm down, and then said:
"Originally, the club was a tool for the bosses to spend money to promote their brands, but if this tool can't create value for the bosses, there is no need for it to exist."
"So, the survival of the fittest is a natural law, but as one of the earliest professional pilots in China, Huahua couldn't bear the thought of me continuing to sink like this, so she said some words of encouragement to me."
"Is that really the case?" Officer Wang looked up at Xu Yang.
Xu Yang nodded slightly: "That's right, that's the way it is, but it's impossible for me to tell Zhao Bo about this kind of thing, right?"
"Anyway, it's okay for Zhao Bo to misunderstand me, but I still treat him as a brother."
"Then don't you worry, is Zhao Bo going to be friends with you?" Yuan Shasha also felt that if Xu Yang didn't say anything, what would Zhao Bo think?
But Xu Yang shook his head with a smile, and said in denial: "The friendship between us has existed for many years, and I know Zhao Bo's temper very well."
"Even if there are all kinds of unhappiness between us, in a few days, everyone will be as heartless as before."
"In short, time will resolve all contradictions..."
Xu Yang was eloquent in the interrogation room, seeming to speak clearly and clearly.
As for whether Xu Yang has actually been to the captain's bar, Gu Chen can't judge yet, and feels that he can only make a judgment after investigating.
So after making some simple inquiries with Xu Yang, he asked Xu Yang to go back temporarily to prepare for the next day's flight training.
After sending Xu Yang away, Lu Weiwei reminded Gu Chen: "Junior Brother Gu, Xu Yang left, and there is another Hua Hua next door."
"I know." Gu Chen took a deep breath, turned around and said, "Now go ask this Hua Hua and see what she has to say."
"If there is no problem, let her go back first, and we can't delay the precious training time of these people just because we investigate the case."
"Understood." It felt like it was the most difficult time for everyone, and Lu Weiwei was able to understand Gu Chen's thoughts very well.
On the one hand, the Furong sub-bureau team led by Gu Chen will participate as a local team in the Jiangnan sub-station of the fpv traversing machine racing competition.
All kinds of zero-based training have made great progress so far.
But now, suddenly encountering such a thing, Gu Chen's mind will definitely shift to the case.
Then the so-called training is bound to be seriously affected.
Lu Weiwei knew Gu Chen's temper, a typical workaholic attribute.
Before the real murderer is caught, Gu Chen will definitely not let it go.
Thinking about striking a balance between the case and the competition, Lu Weiwei even felt a little desperate, thinking how could such a thing happen?
Originally, everyone already had a certain training rhythm, but now it seems that it will be interrupted.
While Lu Weiwei was still worrying about the training, Gu Chen had already led everyone into the No. 2 interrogation room.
Since she stayed in the No. 1 interrogation room next door for a long time, when Gu Chen and the others entered, Hua Hua in the No. 2 interrogation room was lying on the interrogation chair and sleeping soundly.
Gu Chen put the notebook on the table, poured a glass of water beside the water dispenser, put it on the tray in front of Huahua, and then pushed Huahua's shoulder.
"Um?"
Huahua grumbled, raised her head slightly, and looked at Gu Chen sleepily.
"It's you?" After yawning, Huahua was a little dissatisfied and said, "Why did you call me here at night? What are you guys doing? Shouldn't you be resting? Don't you guys not train tomorrow?"
Huahua's series of questions also expressed her dissatisfaction.
But Gu Chen didn't mind, instead he said apologetically, "I'm really sorry for calling you to the interrogation room so late."
"But you must already know that Zhang Muzhi of the Hangcheng Shadow Club drowned."
"I know." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Hua Hua nodded and echoed, "The people who returned to the hotel were all talking about this matter, and I also saw the news in our club group. Zhang Muzhi is quite miserable."
After the words fell, Huahua's gaze froze for a moment, and she suddenly raised her head to look at Gu Chen: "But, Officer Gu, Zhang Muzhi drowned and died. Why did you call me to the police station? I don't know Zhang Muzhi well. Is it not a mistake?"
"Don't worry." Seeing that Huahua was still dissatisfied with being taken to the police station at night, Gu Chen hurriedly comforted her.
"The thing is like this. Last night, I ran into a driver who looked quite similar to Xu Yang on the road. At that time, this driver drove a white car to the vicinity of the Jiangnan Lake competition area where we participated in training today. "
"And today, Zhang Muzhi drowned near the Jiangnan Lake competition area."
"So...so what?" Huahua didn't quite understand.
Lu Weiwei, who was beside Gu Chen, hurriedly explained: "We suspect that there is something strange about Zhang Muzhi's death, because Zhang Muzhi is a good swimmer and has also been a swimming coach."
"This kind of master swimmer died suddenly and silently in the lake without even making a sound, so we suspect that his death may be a murder."
"Murder?" When she heard Lu Weiwei's word "murder", Huahua's expression became visibly astonished.
But after calming down for a while, Huahua still asked calmly, "Is there any evidence for the murder you mentioned?"
"It is currently under investigation." Officer Wang said.
"Then what does this have to do with me?" Huahua was still puzzled.
Yuan Shasha hurriedly explained: "Actually, it was because the driver of the white car that drove to the Jiangnan Lake competition area last night looked quite similar to Xu Yang, so we are also investigating."
"But later, just tonight, that white car also came near the Jiangnan Lake competition area, and the time was around the time when Zhang Muzhi drowned and died."
"So we went to investigate the white car, but found that the white car was burned to the skeleton, so we investigated Xu Yang."
"But considering your special relationship with Xu Yang, that's why I'm going to call you over for questioning. Do you understand this explanation?"
"So it's like this?" After listening to Yuan Shasha's explanation, Huahua seemed to be able to understand.
Gu Chen didn't write any ink, directly opened the notepad and asked, "Huahua, what's your real name?"
"It's... called Zhao Juan." Huahua said.
"Cuckoo's cuckoo?" Gu Chen asked.
Hua Hua replied, "Yes, that's why my nickname is Hua Hua."
"Report your ID number." Gu Chen continued to take notes.
"The ID number is..."
According to Gu Chen's request, Zhao Juan notified her personal information one by one.
After Gu Chen completed the records, he asked Zhao Juan, "How much do you know about Zhang Muzhi?"
"I don't know much." Zhao Juan shook his head.
"It doesn't matter, you can say as much as you can, tell what you know." Officer Wang said.
Huahua calmed down for a few seconds, then raised her head and recalled, "Zhang Muzhi seems to like making friends. He's a talkative guy, he can chat with anyone, and he likes to make friends."
"But this person, his character is not very good, but his flying skills are not bad, so he got the position of captain of the Hangcheng Shadow Club."
"Hangcheng Shadow Club, how strong is it?" Gu Chen asked.
Huahua shook her head: "It's so-so, but every time we can take advantage of the infighting between our major clubs and reap the benefits."
"Some previous races are the best proof. He used the tactical dogfights of our clubs to achieve good results."
"Anyway, on the surface this person looks harmless to humans and animals, but he is narrow-minded and scheming."
"Then has he offended anyone recently?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Who did you offend?" Huahua frowned, trying to remember.
After a while, he shook his head: "I don't know about that, because, generally speaking, Zhang Muzhi's popularity is not bad in the circle."
"Maybe I don't know much about him, so... so I can't provide you with useful value, sorry."
"Okay." Knowing that Huahua was here, she couldn't ask too many questions.
Mainly from Huahua's mouth, Gu Chen couldn't see how Zhang Muzhi and Huahua intersected?
So Gu Chen changed the subject and asked Huahua again: "Were you, Xu Yang and Zhao Bo from the Cobra Club in Rongcheng used to be teammates?"
"Huh?" It felt like the turn was too fast, and Huahua's thoughts hadn't shifted yet.
When asked by Gu Chen, he almost didn't know how to answer.
"I just want to ask you, are Xu Yang and Zhao Bo from the Cobra Club in Rongcheng former teammates?" Seeing this, Lu Weiwei hurriedly repeated it and reminded her again.
"Hehe." Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Huahua couldn't help laughing dryly, and asked, "Did Xu Yang tell you?"
"It was also Zhao Bo who told us." Gu Chen turned the pen with his right hand, and asked again: "Are you and Xu Yang still former lovers?"
"Forget it...for sure." It felt like these policemen knew some of their privacy.
Huahua looked a little embarrassed.
You know, Huahua's image to everyone has always been that kind of stern big sister image.
Especially in the flying hand circle, it is synonymous with aloofness, the kind that is not pleasing to anyone.
With short hair and tattoos everywhere, it gives people a feeling that ordinary people are inaccessible.
Especially the conflict with the Cobra Club, it seems that this is a big sister who is incompatible with the professional pilots of the Cobra Club.
But in the end, everyone suddenly discovered that this big sister who often caused trouble for the Cobra Club was a member of the Cobra Club herself before.
Not only that, this eldest sister also had a relationship experience with Xu Yang of the Cobra Club.
This strong contrast shocked Gu Chen and the others at first.
But now, the pressure has shifted to Huahua.
It is an embarrassing thing in itself because one's secret is known.
"Huahua." Seeing Huahua and Zhao Juan stunned on the spot, Lu Weiwei also tapped on the table, reminding her:
"I'm asking you something? Since you have had a relationship with Xu Yang? Then why do you fight against him everywhere? Even in the bar, provoking conflicts with them?"
"What good will it do you?"
After being asked a lot by Lu Weiwei, Huahua looked like a frightened deer at the moment, as if she didn't know how to fight back.
Gu Chen said slowly: "That day in the unfinished building, you and Xu Yang went to the corner, what did you say?"
"Is...is this important?" Huahua looked up at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen nodded silently, and reminded: "We must grasp all clues related to the case."
"You can explain to us what you talked about that day."
"Actually, it's nothing?" Feeling that she was already exhausted, Huahua said slowly:
"Because I know that Xu Yang's current state is very bad."
"Moreover, I heard that Xu Yang's competition this time can be described as his life and death battle, because Xu Yang has been in a downturn for more than half a year. If this continues for a long time, he is very likely to be laid off by the Chengdu Cobra Club after this competition. .”
With a heavy sigh, Huahua couldn't help but sigh: "You may not know that Xu Yang and I have known each other for a long time. At the beginning, we all became professional pilots for the sake of our dreams."
"But if, I mean if, if Xu Yang is laid off, then he will most likely bid farewell to the fpv racing circle."
"By that time, there may not be many people left from the earliest group of people. I just don't want to see such a scene, so..."
Looking up at Gu Chen, Huahua also said with a complicated expression: "So that day, I just gave him some encouragement, telling him to persevere, no matter what, he must break into the top three in the competition..."
Huahua almost saw Xu Yang's dictation and recounted it in another way.
While recording, Gu Chen was also analyzing the differences between the two.
But after a round of recording, Gu Chen found that the two people's rhetoric was almost the same, thinking about it, maybe he made a mistake in the direction of his investigation.
So Gu Chen closed the notebook and said slowly: "Huahua, you can go back now. After you go back, take a good rest and continue preparing for tomorrow's training."
"In addition, if you find any abnormal personnel among these clubs, please remember to contact us as soon as possible."
"Okay!" Feeling that she was finally able to leave the police station, Huahua's mood was extremely complicated at the moment.
It feels like this night, it seems that my image of a big sister is going to be stripped off in front of these policemen.
Frustrated, Huahua walked out of the room, took a taxi by the side of the road, and went straight back to the hotel.
...
...
next morning.
Gu Chen and the others got up early.
Since I work at the Furong branch at night, everyone sleeps in the police dormitory.
However, at 7 o'clock in the morning, Gu Chen, who was taking a shower, suddenly rang on the phone placed beside the bed.
Gu Chen shook off the water stains on his hands, and walked directly to the bedside table. When he found out that the caller was Liu Jingru, Gu Chen's expression was blank, and then he slapped his head.
Every morning at 7 o'clock, Liu Jingru, who is in charge of meeting her representative team, will knock on the door of the hotel and arrange a day's training for everyone.
But last night, the case was handled until late at night, and everyone was resting in the police dormitory, so they didn't go back to the hotel.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen also sighed, and quickly pressed the answer button.
"Senior Gu Chen, what's the matter with you? There was no answer when I knocked on the door, and there was no answer from sister Weiwei's room."
"Liu Jingru." Seeing that Liu Jingru seemed a little angry, Gu Chen quickly explained: "That's right, didn't there be an accidental drowning accident at the Jiangnan Lake Stadium yesterday?"
"Last night, our team was working on this matter, so..."
"So...you didn't go back to the hotel?" Liu Jingru seemed to have guessed something?
Gu Chen said: "Can you give us a day off, there may be some things that need to be dealt with today."
"No way, your training has just improved, why did you give up halfway all of a sudden? Don't you want to represent the Jiangnan Police Force in the competition?"
When asked by Liu Jingru, Gu Chen suddenly became embarrassed.
This is what I am most worried about. In order to investigate the cause of Zhang Muzhi's death, today's time is especially precious.
But it is obviously not my style to give up the case and go to training.
If this case is handed over to others, they may not know the whole story of the case better than themselves.
Especially today, I have to go to the technical department of the Municipal Bureau to determine the specific cause of Zhang Muzhi's death.
Therefore, Gu Chen is very clear that this morning's training and his team will definitely fail.
Thinking about the burden on himself, Gu Chen suddenly compromised and said: "How about I let Senior Brother Wang, Senior Sister Lu and Xiao Yuan go with you to the training ground to continue training, and I will stay to handle the case, what do you think? "
"Aren't you going to participate?" Liu Jingru was rather disappointed.
Gu Chen asked: "When I deal with these things, I will definitely return to the team as soon as possible. At present, this is the only way to go. What do you think?"
Here Gu Chen's voice fell, but the other end of the phone was quiet.
After a while, Gu Chen heard Liu Jingru's compromise: "That's fine, after all, you represent the entire Jiangnan City Police Force, and training must not be left behind."
"If, I mean if, if you can hand over the matter in your hands to other people, it would be best..."
"Impossible." Before Liu Jingru finished speaking, Gu Chen interrupted directly and said, "I must personally participate in this matter. I will contact other people now and let them go to the designated training venue."
After the words fell, Gu Chen hurriedly asked again: "Is today's training venue still the Hufei Stadium in Jiangnan Lake?"
"Hmm." Knowing Gu Chen's attitude, it was almost impossible to pull back a few cows, what else could Liu Jingru say?
In the past, I only heard about Gu Chen from Bai Xiaolan, but now it seems that he is really a typical workaholic.
Liu Jingru thought that she had worked hard enough, but now she felt that compared with Gu Chen, her efforts suddenly became insignificant.
Feeling that a compromise would be beneficial to both parties, Liu Jingru could only reluctantly agree:
"Then tell Officer Wang, Officer Lu, and Officer Yuan to hurry up and take part in the training."
"I'm squeezing the time out of the teeth of the major clubs. Don't miss this opportunity. Time will never come again. Hurry up. I will wait for you at the Jiangnan Hufei Stadium."
"Okay." Gu Chen simply replied before hanging up the phone.
Gu Chen is very clear now that the white car he met before must be the key to this case.
Today, there are still many things that need to be verified, and the focus is on the testing room of the Technical Department of the Municipal Bureau.
So Gu Chen quickly called Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to inform everyone of today's work arrangement.
And I called Ji Zhe, drove early, and headed to the technical department of the Municipal Bureau.
...
...
7:40 am.
Gu Chen had already parked the car in the city bureau compound, and asked Ji Zhe to wait in the car, while he ran all the way to the testing room of the technical department.
Due to the particularity of the technical department of the Municipal Bureau, there are often night shifts on duty, so no matter when, there are on-duty forensic doctors on standby.
So when Gu Chen arrived, there were already several forensic assistants resting in the waiting area next to the testing room.
Gu Chen walked in directly and knocked on the glass door.
One of the forensic assistants named Xiao Wu looked at Gu Chen with sleepy eyes, and said in a daze, "Senior Brother Gu, you came so early? Are we still at work?"
"Time is tight and tasks are heavy. Now I can't wait to have three heads and six arms." Gu Chen walked over and directly communicated with Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu also grinned, and jokingly said, "I heard that Senior Brother Gu will represent our entire Jiangnan police force in the Jiangnan sub-station of the fpv machine racing competition."
"But just like that, you can find time to come to us? You are really like what our senior brother Gao said, you are simply a monster who can't die."
"Haha, what else did this Gao Chuanfeng say about me?" Gu Chen also continued to ask in a teasing tone.
Forensic assistant Xiao Wu couldn't help scratching the back of his head, and said with a naive smile: "He also said that you, Gu Chen, often like to ask him for help in testing in the middle of the night, anyway, you are the one who looks for him the most at night."
"However, Senior Brother Gao said that you are quite kind. Knowing that after being busy, you can reward him with his favorite chicken drumsticks, which is a bit of a conscience."
"Hmm." Hearing what the forensic assistant Xiao Wu said, Gu Chen couldn't help but flicked his right index finger, and said in agreement, "Listen, these words are indeed what Gao Chuanfeng said."
"However, I need to hurry up now. The task I gave you yesterday, I wonder if you did an urgent test last night?"
"Ham, Senior Brother Gao knew you would ask that question." Forensic assistant Xiao Wu rubbed his eyes, yawned and said:
"The task you entrusted to us, we worked overtime last night, and we were busy until early morning."
"Senior Brother Gao, he just left and went to sleep in the dormitory. He asked me to stay here, saying that you, Gu Chen, would definitely come to ask him for something early in the morning, so let me stay here and explain to you."
"Hehe, is that so?" Hearing what Xiao Wu said, Gu Chen felt that Gao Chuanfeng was quite reliable.
After the "trouble" in the past few years, Gao Chuanfeng has already figured out Gu Chen's habits and Gu Chen's temper.
Therefore, after completing the relevant tests overnight, they waited for Gu Chen to come to ask for something the next day.
It was Gu Chen who hurriedly said: "Then hurry up and take me to have a look."
"Okay, Senior Brother Gu, come with me." Xiao Wu patted his mouth, stretched on the spot, then took out the key listlessly, and led Gu Chen directly to the testing room next door.
The door of the testing room was pushed open, and at this moment, Zhang Muzhi's body, still wrapped in a body bag, was lying on the testing table.
On the other side, in the instrument testing area, at the document collection office, Xiao Wu, a trainee forensic assistant, immediately took out a copy from the folder and handed it to Gu Chen, saying:
"Senior brother Gao said that after preliminary tests, the deceased Zhang Muzhi did not find any obvious disease state. The cause of death was from drowning, and he had a strong struggling reaction before his death."
While flipping through the test report, Gu Chen nodded silently while recalling the situation at that time, and said involuntarily:
"That's right, the deceased Zhang Muzhi did have a strong struggle when he was drowning."
"But it is a pity that all these struggles happened underwater, so there is not much movement on the water surface, and the people on the shore can't find it. This is a tragedy."
"Yes." The trainee assistant Xiao Wu fully agreed, and continued to explain:
"Senior brother Gao also said that according to the clues you provided, it does feel that the drowning of the deceased is not as simple as imagined."
"Because the deceased had struggled violently during his lifetime, which can be seen from the painful expression of the deceased."
"Besides, you also said that the deceased was a good swimmer and also worked as a swimming instructor. Logically speaking, his water skills should be very good."
"However, it is difficult for such a person to drown and die. The only possibility is that the deceased suffered an accident underwater, which prevented him from surfacing, and finally drowned due to lack of oxygen."
"Hmm." Hearing what the trainee forensic assistant Xiao Wu said, Gu Chen just said "hmm", then raised his head and asked again:
"Then last night, did you detect the corresponding ingredients in the materials that you were asked to extract from the burned vehicle?"
"There are some." Seeing Gu Chen's question, Xiao Wu pulled out another numbered document from the file rack and handed it to Gu Chen:
"This is a part of the material report that we have tested. It can be basically concluded that those materials that have been burned to ashes, such as black mud, are basically some plastic products, and some glue-bound materials."
"If you follow the reminder from brother care, it may be diving equipment."
"What about metal parts inspection?" Gu Chen asked.
"Here." Xiao Wu hurriedly turned another page for Gu Chen, reminding him: "After our inspection last night, there are also corresponding information on diving equipment accessories currently on the market for comparison."
"We found that the metal accessories we collected last night were indeed, to a large extent, from diving equipment."
"Can you find the corresponding brand model through this?" Gu Chen raised his head and asked him.
"This..." Xiao Wu was a little embarrassed, but he still agreed: "It is also possible, but there are many brands and models of this kind of diving equipment, and some accessories from the same manufacturer are used."
Walking to an evidence storage rack, trainee forensic assistant Xiao Wu put on white gloves, took off one of the storage boxes, and brought it to Gu Chen.
Afterwards, he pinched the metal accessories packaged in the numbered transparent evidence collection bag in his hand and reminded:
"This is the part we collected at the scene of the fire yesterday. On this metal fitting, there is a capitalized English label at the beginning, and the corresponding number behind it."
"Last night, by searching the English letters, we found that this is a local hardware company in Jiangnan City, which produces related accessories."
"And all the relevant metal accessories produced by this company are marked with the corresponding English beginning."
"That is to say, the parts of this set of diving equipment are provided by our local company?" Gu Chen asked quickly.
Xiao Wu nodded silently: "I think it should be like this, but at present, it is not clear which company that makes diving equipment will be provided to."
"Since there is a number, I think it should be traceable." Feeling that he had grasped the relevant clues, Gu Chen was still flattered.
Such a cocoon-like investigation is more reliable than finding a needle in a haystack by yourself.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen quickly took out his mobile phone and began to take pictures of relevant metal accessories to collect evidence.
Then he put the relevant test report in his arms, and said: "Let Gao Chuanfeng contact the family members of the deceased, you are responsible for the docking, and the key point is to find out the previous situation of the deceased Zhang Muzhi, especially whether the deceased had any related diseases before his death? This is very important."
"I know, Senior Brother Gao has already told me that we obtained the contact information of the family members of the deceased through other personnel of the Hangcheng Shadow Club last night."
"The family members of the deceased are currently on their way from Hangzhou to Jiangnan City."
"Okay, I got it." Gu Chen raised the information in Yang's hand, and said as he walked, "Remember to keep in touch with me at any time."
"Understood." Xiao Wu watched Gu Chen leave the testing room, but also reminded: "Senior brother Gao also asked me not to forget to tell you that his chicken legs need double servings."
Gu Chen didn't reply, but just held up his shaking right hand to express his understanding.
Coming downstairs, Gu Chen directly asked Ji Zhe to drive, and according to the clues provided by the technical department, he drove to the vicinity of the Hardware City in the High-tech Zone.
Here is the largest hardware trading market in Jiangnan City, and behind many stores are factories.
Since the hardware trading market in Jiangnan City belongs to the model of a store in front and a factory in the back, if you want to find a manufacturer, you can actually find out directly from the store.
Moreover, hardware accessories are not very difficult to process.
Therefore, larger enterprises will be close to the electroplating park, while smaller enterprises will lease some small factories for production.
Sometimes, for a factory building of about 1,000 square meters in an industrial zone, there will be a phenomenon that several small factories rent together.
But for the various parts and components on the hardware market in Jiangnan City, most of them are actually produced by small workshops.
The quality is also divided into different grades from high to low.
Gu Chen has been here before because of handling cases, so he is quite familiar with this area.
Gu Chen quickly found a large and time-honored store, and directly packed the spare parts with letters and numbers printed in transparent evidence bags on the counter and asked:
"Do you know who made this accessory?"
Seeing that Gu Chen was wearing a police uniform, the young man behind the counter immediately held it in his hand for a closer look.
So he asked an older man beside him, "Old Xu, do the English letters starting with st belong to Sheng Tian's family?"
"Let me take a look." Hearing the young man's words, the older man immediately took over the accessories, looked at them carefully, and then said:
"That's right, it belongs to Sheng Tian's family. My family has been selling his spare parts all the time."
"Then is this sold from your house?" Gu Chen asked again.
The older man thought for a few seconds, nodded slightly, and said involuntarily: "It seems to be sold from my house? There are not many spare parts of this kind, and very few are sold. It seems to be used in diving equipment. .”
Hearing the words of the older man, Gu Chen immediately felt confident, and quickly asked, "Then do you know who the customer who bought these spare parts is? Do you have any contact information?"
"Uh... yes, it seems that I have a phone purchased from his family, you wait."
The older man touched the younger man's arm and reminded him, "Enter this number into the computer and find out which customer bought this spare part."
"Understood." Hearing this, the young man immediately searched on his computer according to the part number provided by Gu Chen.
Gu Chen and Ji Zhe also walked behind the man to observe.
After a while, the man quickly found out the customer according to the number, and hurriedly said: "It is the purchase of Porter's diving equipment manufacturer. Every two months, this purchaser will come to purchase a batch of spare parts. The last purchase was last month."
"However, they don't purchase much of this kind of accessories, and they purchase a lot of other accessories."
"Is this the only company that has purchased this kind of spare parts?" Gu Chen hurriedly asked.
The young man scratched the back of his head, as if he was still a little unfamiliar with related business.
On the contrary, the older man, after thinking for a few seconds, said slowly, "It should be?"
"I remember that the parts and equipment seem to be dismantled from a foreign diving equipment by this company, and then brought to me to find materials."
"Anyway, I remember that he searched all over our market at that time, but couldn't find the relevant accessories, because this kind of accessories is special and not many people use it, so it's hard to find, and there are none."
"So, I told him later that if he places an order at our stall and the quantity is large, we can contact the relevant manufacturer to help him open a separate mold, and he agreed at that time."
"So, I paid some deposit, and then I contacted Shengtian Hardware Products Factory, and asked them to send someone to pick up the parts, and then opened the mold according to the accessory style."
"So, the manufacturer of Porter's diving equipment has been placing orders at our stall since then."
"Although the quantity is not large, a batch of orders will be placed every one or two months, and the accumulation will make a lot, so the mold money has already been earned back."
"So that's the case?" Hearing the older man's words, Gu Chen suddenly had a bottom line in his mind.
You know, this is a mold made by Shengtian Hardware Accessories Factory for Porter diving equipment manufacturers alone.
Moreover, this kind of spare parts is not used much, so in principle, only Porter diving equipment manufacturers use this kind of accessories.
Based on these clues, Gu Chen felt that he could go to Porter's diving equipment manufacturer to inquire about the situation, and maybe he could find out the company's sales channels.
Although the products are oriented to the whole country, for Jiangnan City, the sales channels of the products should be clear.
So Gu Chen asked the older man for the contact information and address of Porter's diving equipment manufacturer, and rushed over without stopping.
When I came to an industrial area in the high-tech zone, many factories were in full swing at this time.
At the entrance of the industrial park, Gu Chen quickly found the specific location of Porter's diving equipment manufacturer according to the signs.
This is a small company located in the corner of the industrial zone. The scale is not very large. There is only one factory building rented in the entire industrial zone.
In the office area, Gu Chen saw the signboard of Porter Company hanging together with the office signboards of other companies.
Obviously, even the office buildings are rented together.
But this means that in one morning, Gu Chen has already mastered the production channels of diving equipment.

Ask for votes, with a sincere face. ╰(‵ ′)╯
Especially the two characters Xu Yang and Huahua can get together, which makes most people still can't believe it.
After all, Zhao Bo and Xu Yang had clashed with people from the Clown Club in the bar before.
Especially when everyone heard Zhao Bo's narration, they understood the grievances between the Cobra Club in Rongcheng and the Clown Club in Shanghai.
But they are obviously professional pilots of two unfriendly clubs, but they suddenly look very familiar.
And Huahua bypassed Zhao Bo and left with Xu Yang alone.
This kind of weird behavior makes people think a lot.
Even in the end, Xu Yang didn't reveal the information of the conversation to Zhao Bo, which instead made everyone feel, is this Huahua from the Clown Club using a scheming scheme? Divide the two brothers?
But in terms of what happened afterwards, everyone really believes that there are more elements of estrangement.
Because after that, the relationship between Xu Yang and Zhao Bo was indeed not as warm as that between them.
The two inseparable brothers even started to act alone.
This is not difficult to see from Xu Yang spending the night alone in the bar, the gap between the two seems to be getting bigger and bigger.
Hearing Lu Weiwei's remarks, Xu Yang couldn't help but sighed, and confessed honestly: "Actually, Huahua came to me that day, just to talk to me about my career."
"Your occupational problem? How to say?" Lu Weiwei didn't quite understand.
Xu Yang covered his face with his hands, and said with shame: "Actually, my state has fluctuated a lot recently, and that's all because I learned that Huahua has a boyfriend."
"As you all know, I am easily influenced by emotions. Therefore, it is precisely because of my inattention that my current state has declined all the way, and I am even on the verge of being laid off by the club."
"Later Huahua also saw my problem, so she asked me privately, but I never made it clear."
"It wasn't until later, when she heard that the Jiangnan sub-station of the FPV traversing machine racing competition would be my last battle to prove myself, that she suddenly became worried."
"So, she took the initiative to contact me several times, but because Zhao Bo was by her side, it was inconvenient for me to answer her calls."
"But later, that is, the time you saw, we were in the training ground of the Lanwei Building, and Huahua found me once."
"But this time, in front of everyone, it's inconvenient for me to reveal this to everyone, so..."
"So you called Huahua away alone and explained the matter to her, right?" Before Xu Yang could finish speaking, Gu Chen asked him directly.
Xu Yang nodded silently: "That's right, probably the situation is like this, Huahua asked me, why is the state so bad?"
"She urged me, no matter what, I must reach the top three in this competition, otherwise, with my current state, I will definitely be kicked out by the club."
"Because the club will not allow a professional pilot who has not improved his skills for a long time to take up the club's precious competition quota."
With a faint sigh, Xu Yang tried his best to calm down, and then said:
"Originally, the club was a tool for the bosses to spend money to promote their brands, but if this tool can't create value for the bosses, there is no need for it to exist."
"So, the survival of the fittest is a natural law, but as one of the earliest professional pilots in China, Huahua couldn't bear the thought of me continuing to sink like this, so she said some words of encouragement to me."
"Is that really the case?" Officer Wang looked up at Xu Yang.
Xu Yang nodded slightly: "That's right, that's the way it is, but it's impossible for me to tell Zhao Bo about this kind of thing, right?"
"Anyway, it's okay for Zhao Bo to misunderstand me, but I still treat him as a brother."
"Then don't you worry, is Zhao Bo going to be friends with you?" Yuan Shasha also felt that if Xu Yang didn't say anything, what would Zhao Bo think?
But Xu Yang shook his head with a smile, and said in denial: "The friendship between us has existed for many years, and I know Zhao Bo's temper very well."
"Even if there are all kinds of unhappiness between us, in a few days, everyone will be as heartless as before."
"In short, time will resolve all contradictions..."
Xu Yang was eloquent in the interrogation room, seeming to speak clearly and clearly.
As for whether Xu Yang has actually been to the captain's bar, Gu Chen can't judge yet, and feels that he can only make a judgment after investigating.
So after making some simple inquiries with Xu Yang, he asked Xu Yang to go back temporarily to prepare for the next day's flight training.
After sending Xu Yang away, Lu Weiwei reminded Gu Chen: "Junior Brother Gu, Xu Yang left, and there is another Hua Hua next door."
"I know." Gu Chen took a deep breath, turned around and said, "Now go ask this Hua Hua and see what she has to say."
"If there is no problem, let her go back first, and we can't delay the precious training time of these people just because we investigate the case."
"Understood." It felt like it was the most difficult time for everyone, and Lu Weiwei was able to understand Gu Chen's thoughts very well.
On the one hand, the Furong sub-bureau team led by Gu Chen will participate as a local team in the Jiangnan sub-station of the fpv traversing machine racing competition.
All kinds of zero-based training have made great progress so far.
But now, suddenly encountering such a thing, Gu Chen's mind will definitely shift to the case.
Then the so-called training is bound to be seriously affected.
Lu Weiwei knew Gu Chen's temper, a typical workaholic attribute.
Before the real murderer is caught, Gu Chen will definitely not let it go.
Thinking about striking a balance between the case and the competition, Lu Weiwei even felt a little desperate, thinking how could such a thing happen?
Originally, everyone already had a certain training rhythm, but now it seems that it will be interrupted.
While Lu Weiwei was still worrying about the training, Gu Chen had already led everyone into the No. 2 interrogation room.
Since she stayed in the No. 1 interrogation room next door for a long time, when Gu Chen and the others entered, Hua Hua in the No. 2 interrogation room was lying on the interrogation chair and sleeping soundly.
Gu Chen put the notebook on the table, poured a glass of water beside the water dispenser, put it on the tray in front of Huahua, and then pushed Huahua's shoulder.
"Um?"
Huahua grumbled, raised her head slightly, and looked at Gu Chen sleepily.
"It's you?" After yawning, Huahua was a little dissatisfied and said, "Why did you call me here at night? What are you guys doing? Shouldn't you be resting? Don't you guys not train tomorrow?"
Huahua's series of questions also expressed her dissatisfaction.
But Gu Chen didn't mind, instead he said apologetically, "I'm really sorry for calling you to the interrogation room so late."
"But you must already know that Zhang Muzhi of the Hangcheng Shadow Club drowned."
"I know." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Hua Hua nodded and echoed, "The people who returned to the hotel were all talking about this matter, and I also saw the news in our club group. Zhang Muzhi is quite miserable."
After the words fell, Huahua's gaze froze for a moment, and she suddenly raised her head to look at Gu Chen: "But, Officer Gu, Zhang Muzhi drowned and died. Why did you call me to the police station? I don't know Zhang Muzhi well. Is it not a mistake?"
"Don't worry." Seeing that Huahua was still dissatisfied with being taken to the police station at night, Gu Chen hurriedly comforted her.
"The thing is like this. Last night, I ran into a driver who looked quite similar to Xu Yang on the road. At that time, this driver drove a white car to the vicinity of the Jiangnan Lake competition area where we participated in training today. "
"And today, Zhang Muzhi drowned near the Jiangnan Lake competition area."
"So...so what?" Huahua didn't quite understand.
Lu Weiwei, who was beside Gu Chen, hurriedly explained: "We suspect that there is something strange about Zhang Muzhi's death, because Zhang Muzhi is a good swimmer and has also been a swimming coach."
"This kind of master swimmer died suddenly and silently in the lake without even making a sound, so we suspect that his death may be a murder."
"Murder?" When she heard Lu Weiwei's word "murder", Huahua's expression became visibly astonished.
But after calming down for a while, Huahua still asked calmly, "Is there any evidence for the murder you mentioned?"
"It is currently under investigation." Officer Wang said.
"Then what does this have to do with me?" Huahua was still puzzled.
Yuan Shasha hurriedly explained: "Actually, it was because the driver of the white car that drove to the Jiangnan Lake competition area last night looked quite similar to Xu Yang, so we are also investigating."
"But later, just tonight, that white car also came near the Jiangnan Lake competition area, and the time was around the time when Zhang Muzhi drowned and died."
"So we went to investigate the white car, but found that the white car was burned to the skeleton, so we investigated Xu Yang."
"But considering your special relationship with Xu Yang, that's why I'm going to call you over for questioning. Do you understand this explanation?"
"So it's like this?" After listening to Yuan Shasha's explanation, Huahua seemed to be able to understand.
Gu Chen didn't write any ink, directly opened the notepad and asked, "Huahua, what's your real name?"
"It's... called Zhao Juan." Huahua said.
"Cuckoo's cuckoo?" Gu Chen asked.
Hua Hua replied, "Yes, that's why my nickname is Hua Hua."
"Report your ID number." Gu Chen continued to take notes.
"The ID number is..."
According to Gu Chen's request, Zhao Juan notified her personal information one by one.
After Gu Chen completed the records, he asked Zhao Juan, "How much do you know about Zhang Muzhi?"
"I don't know much." Zhao Juan shook his head.
"It doesn't matter, you can say as much as you can, tell what you know." Officer Wang said.
Huahua calmed down for a few seconds, then raised her head and recalled, "Zhang Muzhi seems to like making friends. He's a talkative guy, he can chat with anyone, and he likes to make friends."
"But this person, his character is not very good, but his flying skills are not bad, so he got the position of captain of the Hangcheng Shadow Club."
"Hangcheng Shadow Club, how strong is it?" Gu Chen asked.
Huahua shook her head: "It's so-so, but every time we can take advantage of the infighting between our major clubs and reap the benefits."
"Some previous races are the best proof. He used the tactical dogfights of our clubs to achieve good results."
"Anyway, on the surface this person looks harmless to humans and animals, but he is narrow-minded and scheming."
"Then has he offended anyone recently?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Who did you offend?" Huahua frowned, trying to remember.
After a while, he shook his head: "I don't know about that, because, generally speaking, Zhang Muzhi's popularity is not bad in the circle."
"Maybe I don't know much about him, so... so I can't provide you with useful value, sorry."
"Okay." Knowing that Huahua was here, she couldn't ask too many questions.
Mainly from Huahua's mouth, Gu Chen couldn't see how Zhang Muzhi and Huahua intersected?
So Gu Chen changed the subject and asked Huahua again: "Were you, Xu Yang and Zhao Bo from the Cobra Club in Rongcheng used to be teammates?"
"Huh?" It felt like the turn was too fast, and Huahua's thoughts hadn't shifted yet.
When asked by Gu Chen, he almost didn't know how to answer.
"I just want to ask you, are Xu Yang and Zhao Bo from the Cobra Club in Rongcheng former teammates?" Seeing this, Lu Weiwei hurriedly repeated it and reminded her again.
"Hehe." Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Huahua couldn't help laughing dryly, and asked, "Did Xu Yang tell you?"
"It was also Zhao Bo who told us." Gu Chen turned the pen with his right hand, and asked again: "Are you and Xu Yang still former lovers?"
"Forget it...for sure." It felt like these policemen knew some of their privacy.
Huahua looked a little embarrassed.
You know, Huahua's image to everyone has always been that kind of stern big sister image.
Especially in the flying hand circle, it is synonymous with aloofness, the kind that is not pleasing to anyone.
With short hair and tattoos everywhere, it gives people a feeling that ordinary people are inaccessible.
Especially the conflict with the Cobra Club, it seems that this is a big sister who is incompatible with the professional pilots of the Cobra Club.
But in the end, everyone suddenly discovered that this big sister who often caused trouble for the Cobra Club was a member of the Cobra Club herself before.
Not only that, this eldest sister also had a relationship experience with Xu Yang of the Cobra Club.
This strong contrast shocked Gu Chen and the others at first.
But now, the pressure has shifted to Huahua.
It is an embarrassing thing in itself because one's secret is known.
"Huahua." Seeing Huahua and Zhao Juan stunned on the spot, Lu Weiwei also tapped on the table, reminding her:
"I'm asking you something? Since you have had a relationship with Xu Yang? Then why do you fight against him everywhere? Even in the bar, provoking conflicts with them?"
"What good will it do you?"
After being asked a lot by Lu Weiwei, Huahua looked like a frightened deer at the moment, as if she didn't know how to fight back.
Gu Chen said slowly: "That day in the unfinished building, you and Xu Yang went to the corner, what did you say?"
"Is...is this important?" Huahua looked up at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen nodded silently, and reminded: "We must grasp all clues related to the case."
"You can explain to us what you talked about that day."
"Actually, it's nothing?" Feeling that she was already exhausted, Huahua said slowly:
"Because I know that Xu Yang's current state is very bad."
"Moreover, I heard that Xu Yang's competition this time can be described as his life and death battle, because Xu Yang has been in a downturn for more than half a year. If this continues for a long time, he is very likely to be laid off by the Chengdu Cobra Club after this competition. .”
With a heavy sigh, Huahua couldn't help but sigh: "You may not know that Xu Yang and I have known each other for a long time. At the beginning, we all became professional pilots for the sake of our dreams."
"But if, I mean if, if Xu Yang is laid off, then he will most likely bid farewell to the fpv racing circle."
"By that time, there may not be many people left from the earliest group of people. I just don't want to see such a scene, so..."
Looking up at Gu Chen, Huahua also said with a complicated expression: "So that day, I just gave him some encouragement, telling him to persevere, no matter what, he must break into the top three in the competition..."
Huahua almost saw Xu Yang's dictation and recounted it in another way.
While recording, Gu Chen was also analyzing the differences between the two.
But after a round of recording, Gu Chen found that the two people's rhetoric was almost the same, thinking about it, maybe he made a mistake in the direction of his investigation.
So Gu Chen closed the notebook and said slowly: "Huahua, you can go back now. After you go back, take a good rest and continue preparing for tomorrow's training."
"In addition, if you find any abnormal personnel among these clubs, please remember to contact us as soon as possible."
"Okay!" Feeling that she was finally able to leave the police station, Huahua's mood was extremely complicated at the moment.
It feels like this night, it seems that my image of a big sister is going to be stripped off in front of these policemen.
Frustrated, Huahua walked out of the room, took a taxi by the side of the road, and went straight back to the hotel.
...
...
next morning.
Gu Chen and the others got up early.
Since I work at the Furong branch at night, everyone sleeps in the police dormitory.
However, at 7 o'clock in the morning, Gu Chen, who was taking a shower, suddenly rang on the phone placed beside the bed.
Gu Chen shook off the water stains on his hands, and walked directly to the bedside table. When he found out that the caller was Liu Jingru, Gu Chen's expression was blank, and then he slapped his head.
Every morning at 7 o'clock, Liu Jingru, who is in charge of meeting her representative team, will knock on the door of the hotel and arrange a day's training for everyone.
But last night, the case was handled until late at night, and everyone was resting in the police dormitory, so they didn't go back to the hotel.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen also sighed, and quickly pressed the answer button.
"Senior Gu Chen, what's the matter with you? There was no answer when I knocked on the door, and there was no answer from sister Weiwei's room."
"Liu Jingru." Seeing that Liu Jingru seemed a little angry, Gu Chen quickly explained: "That's right, didn't there be an accidental drowning accident at the Jiangnan Lake Stadium yesterday?"
"Last night, our team was working on this matter, so..."
"So...you didn't go back to the hotel?" Liu Jingru seemed to have guessed something?
Gu Chen said: "Can you give us a day off, there may be some things that need to be dealt with today."
"No way, your training has just improved, why did you give up halfway all of a sudden? Don't you want to represent the Jiangnan Police Force in the competition?"
When asked by Liu Jingru, Gu Chen suddenly became embarrassed.
This is what I am most worried about. In order to investigate the cause of Zhang Muzhi's death, today's time is especially precious.
But it is obviously not my style to give up the case and go to training.
If this case is handed over to others, they may not know the whole story of the case better than themselves.
Especially today, I have to go to the technical department of the Municipal Bureau to determine the specific cause of Zhang Muzhi's death.
Therefore, Gu Chen is very clear that this morning's training and his team will definitely fail.
Thinking about the burden on himself, Gu Chen suddenly compromised and said: "How about I let Senior Brother Wang, Senior Sister Lu and Xiao Yuan go with you to the training ground to continue training, and I will stay to handle the case, what do you think? "
"Aren't you going to participate?" Liu Jingru was rather disappointed.
Gu Chen asked: "When I deal with these things, I will definitely return to the team as soon as possible. At present, this is the only way to go. What do you think?"
Here Gu Chen's voice fell, but the other end of the phone was quiet.
After a while, Gu Chen heard Liu Jingru's compromise: "That's fine, after all, you represent the entire Jiangnan City Police Force, and training must not be left behind."
"If, I mean if, if you can hand over the matter in your hands to other people, it would be best..."
"Impossible." Before Liu Jingru finished speaking, Gu Chen interrupted directly and said, "I must personally participate in this matter. I will contact other people now and let them go to the designated training venue."
After the words fell, Gu Chen hurriedly asked again: "Is today's training venue still the Hufei Stadium in Jiangnan Lake?"
"Hmm." Knowing Gu Chen's attitude, it was almost impossible to pull back a few cows, what else could Liu Jingru say?
In the past, I only heard about Gu Chen from Bai Xiaolan, but now it seems that he is really a typical workaholic.
Liu Jingru thought that she had worked hard enough, but now she felt that compared with Gu Chen, her efforts suddenly became insignificant.
Feeling that a compromise would be beneficial to both parties, Liu Jingru could only reluctantly agree:
"Then tell Officer Wang, Officer Lu, and Officer Yuan to hurry up and take part in the training."
"I'm squeezing the time out of the teeth of the major clubs. Don't miss this opportunity. Time will never come again. Hurry up. I will wait for you at the Jiangnan Hufei Stadium."
"Okay." Gu Chen simply replied before hanging up the phone.
Gu Chen is very clear now that the white car he met before must be the key to this case.
Today, there are still many things that need to be verified, and the focus is on the testing room of the Technical Department of the Municipal Bureau.
So Gu Chen quickly called Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to inform everyone of today's work arrangement.
And I called Ji Zhe, drove early, and headed to the technical department of the Municipal Bureau.
...
...
7:40 am.
Gu Chen had already parked the car in the city bureau compound, and asked Ji Zhe to wait in the car, while he ran all the way to the testing room of the technical department.
Due to the particularity of the technical department of the Municipal Bureau, there are often night shifts on duty, so no matter when, there are on-duty forensic doctors on standby.
So when Gu Chen arrived, there were already several forensic assistants resting in the waiting area next to the testing room.
Gu Chen walked in directly and knocked on the glass door.
One of the forensic assistants named Xiao Wu looked at Gu Chen with sleepy eyes, and said in a daze, "Senior Brother Gu, you came so early? Are we still at work?"
"Time is tight and tasks are heavy. Now I can't wait to have three heads and six arms." Gu Chen walked over and directly communicated with Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu also grinned, and jokingly said, "I heard that Senior Brother Gu will represent our entire Jiangnan police force in the Jiangnan sub-station of the fpv machine racing competition."
"But just like that, you can find time to come to us? You are really like what our senior brother Gao said, you are simply a monster who can't die."
"Haha, what else did this Gao Chuanfeng say about me?" Gu Chen also continued to ask in a teasing tone.
Forensic assistant Xiao Wu couldn't help scratching the back of his head, and said with a naive smile: "He also said that you, Gu Chen, often like to ask him for help in testing in the middle of the night, anyway, you are the one who looks for him the most at night."
"However, Senior Brother Gao said that you are quite kind. Knowing that after being busy, you can reward him with his favorite chicken drumsticks, which is a bit of a conscience."
"Hmm." Hearing what the forensic assistant Xiao Wu said, Gu Chen couldn't help but flicked his right index finger, and said in agreement, "Listen, these words are indeed what Gao Chuanfeng said."
"However, I need to hurry up now. The task I gave you yesterday, I wonder if you did an urgent test last night?"
"Ham, Senior Brother Gao knew you would ask that question." Forensic assistant Xiao Wu rubbed his eyes, yawned and said:
"The task you entrusted to us, we worked overtime last night, and we were busy until early morning."
"Senior Brother Gao, he just left and went to sleep in the dormitory. He asked me to stay here, saying that you, Gu Chen, would definitely come to ask him for something early in the morning, so let me stay here and explain to you."
"Hehe, is that so?" Hearing what Xiao Wu said, Gu Chen felt that Gao Chuanfeng was quite reliable.
After the "trouble" in the past few years, Gao Chuanfeng has already figured out Gu Chen's habits and Gu Chen's temper.
Therefore, after completing the relevant tests overnight, they waited for Gu Chen to come to ask for something the next day.
It was Gu Chen who hurriedly said: "Then hurry up and take me to have a look."
"Okay, Senior Brother Gu, come with me." Xiao Wu patted his mouth, stretched on the spot, then took out the key listlessly, and led Gu Chen directly to the testing room next door.
The door of the testing room was pushed open, and at this moment, Zhang Muzhi's body, still wrapped in a body bag, was lying on the testing table.
On the other side, in the instrument testing area, at the document collection office, Xiao Wu, a trainee forensic assistant, immediately took out a copy from the folder and handed it to Gu Chen, saying:
"Senior brother Gao said that after preliminary tests, the deceased Zhang Muzhi did not find any obvious disease state. The cause of death was from drowning, and he had a strong struggling reaction before his death."
While flipping through the test report, Gu Chen nodded silently while recalling the situation at that time, and said involuntarily:
"That's right, the deceased Zhang Muzhi did have a strong struggle when he was drowning."
"But it is a pity that all these struggles happened underwater, so there is not much movement on the water surface, and the people on the shore can't find it. This is a tragedy."
"Yes." The trainee assistant Xiao Wu fully agreed, and continued to explain:
"Senior brother Gao also said that according to the clues you provided, it does feel that the drowning of the deceased is not as simple as imagined."
"Because the deceased had struggled violently during his lifetime, which can be seen from the painful expression of the deceased."
"Besides, you also said that the deceased was a good swimmer and also worked as a swimming instructor. Logically speaking, his water skills should be very good."
"However, it is difficult for such a person to drown and die. The only possibility is that the deceased suffered an accident underwater, which prevented him from surfacing, and finally drowned due to lack of oxygen."
"Hmm." Hearing what the trainee forensic assistant Xiao Wu said, Gu Chen just said "hmm", then raised his head and asked again:
"Then last night, did you detect the corresponding ingredients in the materials that you were asked to extract from the burned vehicle?"
"There are some." Seeing Gu Chen's question, Xiao Wu pulled out another numbered document from the file rack and handed it to Gu Chen:
"This is a part of the material report that we have tested. It can be basically concluded that those materials that have been burned to ashes, such as black mud, are basically some plastic products, and some glue-bound materials."
"If you follow the reminder from brother care, it may be diving equipment."
"What about metal parts inspection?" Gu Chen asked.
"Here." Xiao Wu hurriedly turned another page for Gu Chen, reminding him: "After our inspection last night, there are also corresponding information on diving equipment accessories currently on the market for comparison."
"We found that the metal accessories we collected last night were indeed, to a large extent, from diving equipment."
"Can you find the corresponding brand model through this?" Gu Chen raised his head and asked him.
"This..." Xiao Wu was a little embarrassed, but he still agreed: "It is also possible, but there are many brands and models of this kind of diving equipment, and some accessories from the same manufacturer are used."
Walking to an evidence storage rack, trainee forensic assistant Xiao Wu put on white gloves, took off one of the storage boxes, and brought it to Gu Chen.
Afterwards, he pinched the metal accessories packaged in the numbered transparent evidence collection bag in his hand and reminded:
"This is the part we collected at the scene of the fire yesterday. On this metal fitting, there is a capitalized English label at the beginning, and the corresponding number behind it."
"Last night, by searching the English letters, we found that this is a local hardware company in Jiangnan City, which produces related accessories."
"And all the relevant metal accessories produced by this company are marked with the corresponding English beginning."
"That is to say, the parts of this set of diving equipment are provided by our local company?" Gu Chen asked quickly.
Xiao Wu nodded silently: "I think it should be like this, but at present, it is not clear which company that makes diving equipment will be provided to."
"Since there is a number, I think it should be traceable." Feeling that he had grasped the relevant clues, Gu Chen was still flattered.
Such a cocoon-like investigation is more reliable than finding a needle in a haystack by yourself.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen quickly took out his mobile phone and began to take pictures of relevant metal accessories to collect evidence.
Then he put the relevant test report in his arms, and said: "Let Gao Chuanfeng contact the family members of the deceased, you are responsible for the docking, and the key point is to find out the previous situation of the deceased Zhang Muzhi, especially whether the deceased had any related diseases before his death? This is very important."
"I know, Senior Brother Gao has already told me that we obtained the contact information of the family members of the deceased through other personnel of the Hangcheng Shadow Club last night."
"The family members of the deceased are currently on their way from Hangzhou to Jiangnan City."
"Okay, I got it." Gu Chen raised the information in Yang's hand, and said as he walked, "Remember to keep in touch with me at any time."
"Understood." Xiao Wu watched Gu Chen leave the testing room, but also reminded: "Senior brother Gao also asked me not to forget to tell you that his chicken legs need double servings."
Gu Chen didn't reply, but just held up his shaking right hand to express his understanding.
Coming downstairs, Gu Chen directly asked Ji Zhe to drive, and according to the clues provided by the technical department, he drove to the vicinity of the Hardware City in the High-tech Zone.
Here is the largest hardware trading market in Jiangnan City, and behind many stores are factories.
Since the hardware trading market in Jiangnan City belongs to the model of a store in front and a factory in the back, if you want to find a manufacturer, you can actually find out directly from the store.
Moreover, hardware accessories are not very difficult to process.
Therefore, larger enterprises will be close to the electroplating park, while smaller enterprises will lease some small factories for production.
Sometimes, for a factory building of about 1,000 square meters in an industrial zone, there will be a phenomenon that several small factories rent together.
But for the various parts and components on the hardware market in Jiangnan City, most of them are actually produced by small workshops.
The quality is also divided into different grades from high to low.
Gu Chen has been here before because of handling cases, so he is quite familiar with this area.
Gu Chen quickly found a large and time-honored store, and directly packed the spare parts with letters and numbers printed in transparent evidence bags on the counter and asked:
"Do you know who made this accessory?"
Seeing that Gu Chen was wearing a police uniform, the young man behind the counter immediately held it in his hand for a closer look.
So he asked an older man beside him, "Old Xu, do the English letters starting with st belong to Sheng Tian's family?"
"Let me take a look." Hearing the young man's words, the older man immediately took over the accessories, looked at them carefully, and then said:
"That's right, it belongs to Sheng Tian's family. My family has been selling his spare parts all the time."
"Then is this sold from your house?" Gu Chen asked again.
The older man thought for a few seconds, nodded slightly, and said involuntarily: "It seems to be sold from my house? There are not many spare parts of this kind, and very few are sold. It seems to be used in diving equipment. .”
Hearing the words of the older man, Gu Chen immediately felt confident, and quickly asked, "Then do you know who the customer who bought these spare parts is? Do you have any contact information?"
"Uh... yes, it seems that I have a phone purchased from his family, you wait."
The older man touched the younger man's arm and reminded him, "Enter this number into the computer and find out which customer bought this spare part."
"Understood." Hearing this, the young man immediately searched on his computer according to the part number provided by Gu Chen.
Gu Chen and Ji Zhe also walked behind the man to observe.
After a while, the man quickly found out the customer according to the number, and hurriedly said: "It is the purchase of Porter's diving equipment manufacturer. Every two months, this purchaser will come to purchase a batch of spare parts. The last purchase was last month."
"However, they don't purchase much of this kind of accessories, and they purchase a lot of other accessories."
"Is this the only company that has purchased this kind of spare parts?" Gu Chen hurriedly asked.
The young man scratched the back of his head, as if he was still a little unfamiliar with related business.
On the contrary, the older man, after thinking for a few seconds, said slowly, "It should be?"
"I remember that the parts and equipment seem to be dismantled from a foreign diving equipment by this company, and then brought to me to find materials."
"Anyway, I remember that he searched all over our market at that time, but couldn't find the relevant accessories, because this kind of accessories is special and not many people use it, so it's hard to find, and there are none."
"So, I told him later that if he places an order at our stall and the quantity is large, we can contact the relevant manufacturer to help him open a separate mold, and he agreed at that time."
"So, I paid some deposit, and then I contacted Shengtian Hardware Products Factory, and asked them to send someone to pick up the parts, and then opened the mold according to the accessory style."
"So, the manufacturer of Porter's diving equipment has been placing orders at our stall since then."
"Although the quantity is not large, a batch of orders will be placed every one or two months, and the accumulation will make a lot, so the mold money has already been earned back."

Although the products are oriented to the whole country, for Jiangnan City, the sales channels of the products should be clear.
So Gu Chen asked the older man for the contact information and address of Porter's diving equipment manufacturer, and rushed over without stopping.
When I came to an industrial area in the high-tech zone, many factories were in full swing at this time.
At the entrance of the industrial park, Gu Chen quickly found the specific location of Porter's diving equipment manufacturer according to the signs.
This is a small company located in the corner of the industrial zone. The scale is not very large. There is only one factory building rented in the entire industrial zone.
In the office area, Gu Chen saw the signboard of Porter Company hanging together with the office signboards of other companies.
Obviously, even the office buildings are rented together.
But this means that in one morning, Gu Chen has already mastered the production channels of diving equipment.
