Xu Tian and Zheng Ze, who forged lottery tickets, were indeed on their way to the police station.
As soon as Yang Tianqiao's interrogation ended, Xu Tian and Zheng Ze were brought into the interrogation room and seamlessly connected.
"Gu Chen, this is some evidence we collected at Tianci Advertising Company, otherwise we wouldn't have gotten it so late."
Officer Ding handed all the evidence he collected to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen briefly browsed through it a few times, nodded slightly, patted Officer Ding on the shoulder and said gratefully: "Thank you, Senior Brother Ding."
"I'll leave the rest to you," Officer Ding said.
"no problem."
The two briefly exchanged greetings, and Officer Ding took Wu Xiaofeng and Ji Zhe away from the scene.
Xu Tian and Zheng Ze, who were sitting on the interrogation chairs at the same time, looked extremely timid.
Gu Chen did not interrogate immediately, but showed the collected evidence to Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha to review it first.
It's probably some of the lottery-making materials that these people left inside Tianci Advertising Company.
Officer Ding was an old comrade. He found some proofs of fake lottery tickets in the garbage dump of Tianci Advertising Company and brought them back directly.
Gu Chen put on white gloves, took out the samples from the evidence collection bag, held them in his hands, and compared them with the two forged lottery tickets he had discovered before.
It can be said that the two fake winning lottery ticket samples can be seen at a glance that they are actually made by the same hand.
Gu Chen didn't even need to interrogate too much, because the facts were already very clear, and Xu Tian and Zheng Ze were basically convinced that they created fake lottery tickets.
"Xu Tian, Zheng Ze, Officer Ding must have made it clear to you on the way, right?" Gu Chen raised his head and looked at the two of them.
The two nodded silently.
"So these counterfeit lottery tickets were really made by you?" Officer Wang asked.
Xu Tian and Zheng Ze looked at each other and continued to nod.
Zheng Ze was also embarrassed and said: "Actually, we were just joking."
"Are you kidding?" Officer Wang heard this and said with a smile: "You guys are joking and turned yourself into the first prize winner. Okay, you can also get rich just by joking?"
"Isn't this a BMW car reward?" Xu Tian became anxious upon hearing this.
Knowing that the police had obtained clues about what he had done, Xu Tian also regretted it and said:
"We just got greedy for a moment and felt that making this lottery ticket doesn't look that difficult."
"I thought that I was engaged in advertising design, and we knew a lot of craftsmanship, so I thought, why don't I try it out and have a look, but when I took it to a lottery station, they didn't notice it yet."
"Yeah." Listening to Xu Tian's story, Lu Weiwei took the counterfeit lottery ticket in her hand and observed it carefully, and said with admiration:
"I have to say that your craftsmanship in making fake lottery tickets is really good, and you can make the fake lottery tickets look like the real ones."
"We thought they would see it." Zheng Ze frowned and quickly explained: "But we also had the mentality of giving it a try, but we didn't expect that they didn't notice it."
"And we also won the final lucky draw. As long as we can draw the BMW car envelope, we can take home the BMW car and 120,000 cash."
Lowering his head, Zheng Ze added: "But I'm just a bit unlucky, so I don't have such a good life."
"It doesn't matter how lucky you are." Lu Weiwei turned the pen with her right hand and took the initiative to explain to the two of them:
"You think you two are the only ones who can cheat, but the lottery center can't?"
"What?" After hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Zheng Ze was confused and said: "You mean... the lottery station is also cheating?"
"That's right."
Lu Weiwei nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "Let me tell you the truth, although you faked the King of Flowers, in the final draw, none of the envelopes you drew were real prize envelopes."
"Because the real prize envelopes were taken away by these people in advance and handed over to those entrusted with the lottery."
"So...these winning guys are all the agents of the lottery station?" Xu Tian was a little stunned.
I felt that I was already black enough, but I didn’t expect that the lottery station was even darker than myself.
Yuan Shasha also sneered and said: "You are all half-hearted and half-hearted. At most, you are deceiving each other."
"But those real lottery players are in misfortune. They were deceived into buying lottery tickets and thought the winning rate was really that high. In fact, it was all fake."
"Of all the winners, three out of four are trustworthy, and one was drawn by mistake because the lottery station took the wrong envelope."
"But even so, the lottery station called the police and said that he was using a counterfeit lottery ticket."
"And that so-called counterfeit lottery ticket was made by the two of you." Gu Chen also added.
Xu Tian and Zheng Ze looked at each other, feeling like they had nothing to say at this moment.
Gu Chen looked up at the two of them and continued to ask: "Now all the evidence can prove that these fake lottery tickets are all made by you. Do you have any additional explanations?"
"No more." Xu Tian shook his head and said helplessly: "At first we just thought that we could use our skills to make a fake lottery ticket and get something for nothing."
"I didn't expect that it would involve so many things."
"Yes." Zheng Ze also complained: "Actually, we just want to get something for nothing. If their lottery center hadn't made mistakes when they cheated, I'm afraid our matter would be insignificant."
"Fake is fake, don't take any chances." Seeing that the two began to complain to themselves and suffered miserably, Officer Wang also reminded them.
After all, Officer Wang has already taken this old-fashioned approach into consideration.
Xu Tian nodded silently: "Yes, we admit that it is indeed wrong to do this, so we take responsibility for the things we have done."
After all, he had been to prison once, so Xu Tian was still a little enlightened.
Know how serious it is to resist an investigation when the evidence is solid.
Therefore, in the following interrogation session, almost everything he knew was revealed.
After Gu Chen smoothed over the situation, he asked, "Do you know Chen Gang, who is in charge of lottery sales?"
"Chen Gang?" Xu Tian was stunned and asked weakly: "Who is Chen Gang? We don't know him."
"I got it." Knowing that Chen Gang had no interaction with the two of them, Gu Chen stood up, walked to the two of them, and asked them to sign the transcript.
…
…
The next morning.
In the office of Group Three.
Since tomorrow is New Year's Eve, many members of the office are on vacation, especially police officers from other provinces.
Since the Criminal Investigation Team 3 is a group for left-behind children during the Spring Festival, everyone’s expectations for the Spring Festival are not that strong.
Considering the work schedule, many comrades began to take vacations before the year.
But for leaders like Gu Chen and Officer Wang, their vacations naturally have to be extended indefinitely.
The sports lottery cheating case has been concluded, and the suspected criminals, including Yang Tianqiao and other involved persons, have been arrested.
Xu Tian and Zheng Ze, who forged fake lottery tickets, also cannot escape legal sanctions.
At this stage, the only one who has slipped through the net is He Junchao's old classmate Chen Gang.
Since the incident, there has been no contact, and the investigation has no clue.
The Spring Festival is just around the corner, and everyone feels that arresting Chen Gang may have to be done after the Spring Festival.
But everyone is looking forward to it very much at the same time. After all, during the Spring Festival, family reunion is what Chinese people look forward to.
Now Chen Gang left behind his parents and relatives and disappeared alone.
Gu Chen didn't know what Chen Gang's purpose was? But it was certain that Chen Gang was involved in the lottery fraud case.
"Lu Weiwei, my pen is out of water, please lend me a pen." Officer Wang was sorting out the information for tracing Chen Gang. Suddenly, the pen was out of water, so he turned around and asked Lu Weiwei for it.
Lu Weiwei frowned slightly and said with some reluctance: "You lent me a pen 4 times last month, but you didn't return it every time. Now you ask me to borrow it again? The landlord's family doesn't have any food left."
"I didn't know that that little brat took it away. He put it on the table and then disappeared without a trace after going to the toilet."
Officer Wang shrugged, feeling quite helpless.
You know, finding a pen in the criminal investigation team is more difficult than solving a crime.
Borrowing a pen, in particular, seems to be under a spell.
It is almost impossible to get a pen borrowed out.
Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, opened the drawer directly, found a black fountain pen and said: "This is the last spare one. If I lose it, then don't ask me to borrow a pen again."
"I know, you're so long-winded." Officer Wang spent a lot of effort and managed to grab the pen from Lu Weiwei's hand and turned around to continue organizing the information.
Lu Weiwei turned around with a frustrated look on her face, put her chin on Gu Chen's desk and said, "Junior brother Gu, tell me... is there any way to get back the pens we lent out?"
"Every time I borrow a pen, it ends up being ignored. Lao Wang is a big spender of pens, and so are others."
Blinking her beautiful eyes, Lu Weiwei added, "We all know that you, Gu Chen, are the smartest in the entire criminal investigation team. Can you think of a way?"
"This is simple." Gu Chen put the organized documents aside and said with a faint smile:
"Then I can give you a suggestion. Let your pen be borrowed and returned. At least the chance of returning it will be higher."
"Say." Lu Weiwei held her head up into a flower with both hands and asked with a wink.
Gu Chen raised his head and thought for a few seconds before replying: "The first method is to make clear marks on all your writing pens."
"For example, if you put textured paper on it and see the writing pen on someone's desk with these obvious marks, you will naturally know who the owner of the pen is."
"Well, that makes sense." Lu Weiwei nodded silently and asked, "Is there any other way?"
"There is another way..." Gu Chen looked at the writing pen on his desk, held it directly in his hand, and started teaching on the spot.
"Another option is that you can take off the cap of the pen and lend it to others."
"When someone finishes using this pen, he will find that the pen is incomplete, so he will return it to you."
"Because no one would want an incomplete pen. This is also called the incomplete effect."
"Incomplete effect?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei seemed to understand something.
So he quickly turned around and walked towards Officer Wang's table.
"Hey Lu Weiwei, what are you doing?"
On the other end, only Officer Wang complained, while Lu Weiwei was holding a writing pen cap in her hand, proudly showing off to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen was a little helpless, feeling that Lu Weiwei was learning and selling now.
But it made Yuan Shasha behind Gu Chen very amused. The latter covered her mouth to suppress laughter.
While Officer Wang was sorting out the materials just now, he actually heard Gu Chen's words. At this time, he turned around and said with disdain:
"You, Lu Weiwei, are not good at anything, and you are still a public enemy in the eyes of the female police officers in Furong Branch. But you just listened to Gu Chen's advice and your execution ability was pretty good."
Picking up the writing pen without a cap in his hand, Officer Wang said helplessly: "Don't worry, I will return this pen to you."
"Haha." After hearing Officer Wang's words, Lu Weiwei felt extremely happy and smiled teasingly: "I'm kidding you, Old Wang."
"After all, it's hard to be a good person nowadays. If you want to get back something you borrowed, it would be really troublesome."
"Take money as an example. If you borrowed it years ago and don't get it back at the end of the year, you won't even be able to get it back during the Spring Festival holiday."
"Because if you ask someone for money during the Chinese New Year, you may not get the money back, and you may have to be scolded."
"So it's hard to be a human being, and it's even harder to be a good person who is willing to help others."
"Why don't I just pick up the pen from you? Why are you so pretentious?" Officer Wang snorted coldly, but nodded silently:
"But what you said, Lu Weiwei, is right. People's words are to be feared."
"Sometimes no matter what you do, it doesn't seem to endear you to you."
"Even if you are smart, some people will say you are scheming. If you work hard, some will say you are lucky. If you are naturally optimistic, some will say you are hypocritical."
Shaking his head, Officer Wang also smiled lightly and said, "No matter what you do, others will have something to say."
"Sometimes, you are obviously given a glass of boiled water, but you are forcefully forced to drink it into a carbonated drink that makes you feel uncomfortable."
Gu Chen saw Officer Wang being pretentious and responded with a smile: "So don't care too much about other people's opinions, otherwise your life will be like a pair of pants."
"Underpants?" Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang asked at the same time, feeling that Gu Chen and his metaphor were too rude.
Gu Chen said nonchalantly: "You have to catch up on whatever other people fart. This is what Director Zhao told me."
"puff!"
After hearing what Gu Chen said, many old and new comrades in the office laughed.
Officer Ding also smiled from ear to ear, waved his hands and said, "Oh, Director Zhao, how can I tell you this? This metaphor is too inelegant."
"But it's practical." Lu Weiwei chuckled and agreed: "I think what Director Zhao said is more down-to-earth, isn't it?"
"So if you care too much about other people's opinions, your life will have only two consequences, either you will die of exhaustion, or you will be tortured to death by others."
"And we all know that human nature has a weakness. The more you care about something, the more it will torture you."
“When you respect yourself enough, it’s hard to take other people’s gossip to heart.”
"And you should never compete with a 250 to win or lose. You can't beat him, because he will bring your IQ to the same level as him, and then use his 250 points of experience to defeat you."
After clapping her hands, Lu Weiwei also encouraged everyone: "So just do your own thing well, be good to your own people, and walk your own path."
"Lu Weiwei, have you watched Poisonous Chicken Soup again recently?" Officer Wang said.
Lu Weiwei sneered and replied: "No way? This is what Director Zhao told me."
"Oh my god, where did Bureau Zhao get so much chicken soup?" Officer Ding expressed confusion.
"Perhaps Bureau Qin instilled it in him." Wu Xiaofeng expressed doubts.
Everyone looked at each other and laughed out loud.
However, just when everyone was joking to relieve the boredom of work, they discovered that He Junchao, who usually beeps non-stop when he hears any disturbance, was extraordinarily quiet today.
This was also noticed by the human spirit Lu Weiwei.
Lu Weiwei asked He Junchao with a puzzled look on her face: "He Junchao, we are all chatting so lively, why don't you even fart?"
"Don't make trouble, I'm busy." He Junchao didn't look at Lu Weiwei, but just sorted out information on the computer.
Normally, as a tool man, He Junchao would not be so serious.
But after everyone looked at each other for a short time, they suddenly understood the reason.
Yes, in the lottery fraud case, the only one who slipped through the net, Chen Gang, is still missing.
And Chen Gang is an old classmate of He Junchao.
This makes He Junchao feel quite embarrassed in the Criminal Investigation Team Three.
If Chen Gang is not found within one day, He Junchao will probably be on pins and needles at work.
Everyone can see the clues from the previous discussion.
Originally, according to the principle, He Junchao had to avoid the case, but Gu Chen believed in him and let him join the discussion.
It was precisely because of Gu Chen's trust in him that He Junchao was a little flattered.
Therefore, He Junchao is also secretly competing, hoping to use his technical investigation skills to find Chen Gang's whereabouts as soon as possible.
In this way, He Junchao can integrate into the big family of the Criminal Investigation Team as soon as possible as usual.
Lu Weiwei, who understood He Junchao's situation, said with a faint smile: "Don't close yourself off, isn't it because your old classmate Chen Gang is missing?"
"If you need any help, let us know and we will help you together."
"Yes." Officer Wang put down his work, looked up at He Junchao and said, "I haven't heard you say a few words for a whole day. I feel strange that I'm not used to it."
"Although you and Lu Weiwei were chattering in the office in the past, which was a bit annoying, the atmosphere in the office was pretty good, not as lifeless as Group One and Group Two."
"But don't hold it in. If you hold in the pressure for a long time, you will easily get into trouble."
"I'm not holding it back." Seeing Officer Wang teasing him like this, He Junchao also tried his best to retort: "I just use the chattering time to work."
"Isn't tomorrow New Year's Eve? There are a lot of New Year's tasks. I guess there simply aren't enough manpower to find Chen Gang's whereabouts."
"Then shouldn't I make preparations quickly? Try my best to sort out the clues to find Chen Gang and see who had contact with him during this period of time before the year."
"After all, we have also checked the use of his ID card, and there is no record of staying in the hotel at all."
"In that case, wouldn't it be like staying at a friend's house?"
