In Zhao Xi's view, the person sitting in front of him now is not Lu Weiwei, who used to be a member of the Beijing Children's Dance Team, but a police officer from the Furong Branch of Jiangnan City.
Lu Weiwei, who seemed easy to bully, now had a different look and spoke to her in an almost growling tone.
Zhao Xi wouldn't have dared to think about this in the past.
But Lu Weiwei comes from a general family, and Mr. Lu has inherited a bit of his temper.
Now that Lu Weiwei has conclusive evidence in her hands, Zhao Xi knows very well that even if she persists, there will be no results.
Moreover, the interrogations are now separate. Even if I keep silent, there is no guarantee that Liu Xuan next door will do the same.
Once Liu Xuan confessed, she fell into a passive position.
After thinking about it, Zhao Xi also sighed, nodded helplessly and admitted: "Yes, all the money Mengyao gave us to invest in the fund was put into our own accounts by Liu Xuan and me for squandering."
"for……"
"Why do you do this?" Before Gu Chen could finish speaking, Lu Weiwei asked.
Gu Chen glanced at Lu Weiwei beside him and stopped talking.
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to leave the task of interrogating Zhao Xi to Lu Weiwei.
Zhao Xi lowered his head in shame and sighed helplessly: "This was just the beginning. The two of us wanted to use Mengyao's money to invest in funds. We also discussed with Mengyao and selected several funds."
"But later we discovered that Mengyao was busy with work every day and didn't care about investing at all."
"But later, Liu Xuan and I lost a lot of money playing cards with others and were unable to repay the debt for a while."
"So Liu Xuan suggested that part of the money Mengyao invested should be used to pay off debts."
"So you agreed?" Lu Weiwei asked.
Zhao Xi shook his head: "This... I didn't agree to this at first, but then I had no choice. The creditor was calling for the debt every day, and I couldn't get the money out."
"Later I gritted my teeth and simply used part of it to fill the hole. After all, this little money is just a drop in the bucket for Mengyao."
"But later we discovered that once you do something like this, you simply can't stop."
"Within a month, Mengyao didn't care about these things at all, which also gave rise to our greater greed."
"Later, the two of us couldn't stop at all. We took the funds Mengyao gave us to deposit into our own accounts, and then made false accounts."
"That's it. She hasn't discovered it until now, but not long ago, someone discovered that Liu Xuan and I stole Mengyao's investment funds."
"And that person actually asked the two of us to cooperate with him. The person he wanted to deal with was Mengyao. He also said that after the matter is completed, no one will know about our mess."
"So you betrayed Mengyao?" Lu Weiwei asked.
Zhao Xi's eyes were full of tears and he nodded silently: "There is nothing we can do. Who knew that such a thing would happen?"
"We were panicked at the time and didn't know how to deal with this bastard. He seemed to know us very well. He even knew where we had been every moment of the day."
"From that moment on, I knew we were definitely being followed."
After choking up, Zhao Xi also said aggrievedly: "I'm scared, and Liu Xuan is scared too. We two weak women can't fight against this guy."
"We are really afraid that one day, he will suddenly expose all the things the two of us have done."
"By that time, we may have to go to jail. I also know very well that Mengyao will definitely not let me go, so...so I can only agree to his conditions and betray Mengyao."
After crying for a while, Zhao Xi looked full of regret.
But Lu Weiwei also sighed and couldn't help but said: "What's the use of talking about this now? If you still regard Mengyao as a sister, you should take the initiative to admit your mistakes and inform Mengyao of the murderer's intentions against her."
"But you and Liu Xuan didn't do this. In order to hide the theft of Mengyao's money, you even colluded with the murderer. You..."
When Lu Weiwei said this, she felt extremely sad and angry.
At this time, Zhao Xi was also frightened. He kept crying and begged Lu Weiwei: "Lu Weiwei, for the sake of us all being sisters, you have to help me. I don't want to go to jail. I
Just confused for a moment."
After sniffing, Zhao Xi also started to play the emotional card and continued: "Do you still remember? When I was in the Beijing Children's Dance Team, I originally had an opportunity to lead the dance, and I gave it to you."
"I'm so good to you, so you have to help me. I don't want to go to jail. Really, Lu Weiwei, please help me, even if I'm a sister begging you."
"I'm sorry." Seeing Zhao Xi's aggrieved look, Lu Weiwei shook her head and said solemnly: "I am a police officer."
…
…
Mengyao's case was solved, but it also attracted widespread media coverage.
Early the next morning, the parking lot of Furong Branch in Jiangnan City was already crowded with many media.
Many people had their cameras set up and were waiting for the Furong Branch to hold a press conference.
Since Mengyao is a public figure, her traffic attention is very high.
Zhao Guozhi originally wanted to deal with it in a low-key manner, but Qin Gang, who could not bear the superiority, was urged by many fraternal departments to hold a suitable press conference at the right time and at the right place.
Used to explain various processes of handling cases and answer various questions from reporters.
Of course, as those who experienced the case, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei chose to retreat behind the scenes. Neither of them wanted to go to this kind of excitement.
Officer Wang had no choice but to be temporarily called to attend a press conference.
At this moment, Officer Wang was holding the manuscript and reciting it repeatedly in the office of Group Three, for fear that he would say something wrong.
Seeing Officer Wang walking around, which was a bit annoying, He Junchao couldn't help complaining and said: "I said Lao Wang, can you sit back in your own seat? Stop dangling in front of my eyes, I'm almost dizzy.
."
"Don't interrupt. The thoughts I just sorted out have been interrupted by you again." Officer Wang sighed, feeling that He Junchao was just causing trouble.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He Junchao also smiled and said: "I said Lao Wang, as for that? It's just a press conference, look at how embarrassed you are.
."
"What do you know?" Officer Wang glanced at He Junchao and complained: "This press conference must be well prepared."
"Bureau Qin has given a fatal order to Director Zhao. We must prepare for this press conference in a safe manner. Neither Gu Chen nor Lu Weiwei will attend, so I was forced to put it on the shelves at the last minute. Do you think you can stop being nervous?"
"Then what have you prepared?" He Junchao stretched his neck to find out.
Officer Wang shrank the manuscript back, waved his hand and said: "Nothing, just the process of various cases, there can't be any mistakes anyway."
"This time I am participating with Director Zhao, and the Municipal Bureau will also send an old comrade here. Anyway, I can pass this test today."
Taking a deep breath, Officer Wang said angrily: "Really, it was already very late when the case was interrogated yesterday, and there is a press conference to be held so early in the morning. It feels like it is too late."
"No way, the news media pays attention to timeliness." Gu Chen also said casually.
Officer Wang smiled teasingly: "Gu Chen, why don't you... take my place and hold this press conference?"
"No, Mr. Zhao, I kissed you, don't let Gu Chen go." He Junchao had seen through everything long ago and complained:
"It's not obvious. The key person in this case involves Lu Weiwei. After all, the deceased Mengyao was Lu Weiwei's former teammate in the Beijing dance team."
"This reporter knows that Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei are good partners. They are almost inseparable."
"With Gu Chen at the scene, the focus of those reporters must be on Lu Weiwei. If Gu Chen were present, it would probably be difficult to answer."
"So...I became the scapegoat?" Officer Wang said.
He Junchao nodded silently and said: "Although I don't want to admit it, it is the fact. Director Zhao hopes that neither Gu Chen nor Lu Weiwei will go."
Secretly glancing at the depressed Lu Weiwei, He Junchao deliberately lowered his tone and said: "Meng Yao's death makes Lu Weiwei a little uncomfortable, so Lao Wang, you should be more considerate."
"Forget it." He looked up at the clock on the wall and Officer Wang said helplessly: "Anyway, the press conference starts at 9 o'clock. It's still early. I'll recite it again, so don't disturb me."
After the words fell, Officer Wang sat back in his seat and began to sort out his information.
At this time, Gu Chen was just staring at the unhappy Lu Weiwei in front of him quietly, not daring to disturb her.
After all, Lu Weiwei is in a worse mood now than ever.
Although Mengyao was just a plastic sister to Lu Weiwei, the friendship was still there after all. It felt uncomfortable to be killed like this.
Just when Gu Chen was about to persuade Lu Weiwei to express her condolences, a call came in.
Gu Chen saw that the caller was Zhao Guozhi, so he quickly answered the phone and said: "Director Zhao, are you looking for me?"
"Gu Chen, where are you now?" Zhao Guozhi asked.
Gu Chen smiled lightly and replied: "Where else can I be? I'm in the office."
"In this way, later you give the car keys to He Junchao and ask He Junchao to help you drive the car to the backyard. You and Lu Weiwei have a holiday today. You take Lu Weiwei out to relax. Don't stay at the Furong Branch to avoid being harassed by these reporters."
"Is that so?" After hearing what Zhao Guozhi said, Gu Chen also felt that it made sense.
After all, if you stay at the Furong Bureau, you will inevitably have to come into contact with reporters.
When the time comes, reporters will be swarming around her. With Lu Weiwei in such a bad mood, it is probably difficult to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
After thinking about it, Gu Chen readily agreed: "Okay, I'll give the car keys to Senior Brother He right away."
"Well, you have worked hard during this time. You have a day off today. Go out to relax and come back to work tomorrow."
"yes."
Gu Chen was also on the phone. After joking with Zhao Guozhi, he hung up the phone.
Afterwards, Gu Chen stood up, picked up the keys on the table, threw them directly to He Junchao and said: "Brother He, help me drive the car to the backyard."
"What do you mean?" He Junchao was a little confused.
Gu Chen explained with a faint smile: "Director Zhao gave me and Senior Sister Lu a day off today, and asked me to take Senior Sister Lu out to relax, so as not to be caught by reporters if we stay here."
"That's right." After hearing what Gu Chen said, He Junchao also felt that Zhao Guozhi had considered it very carefully. He also smiled at Lu Weiwei and said: "Lu Weiwei, if you are not in a good mood, go out and relax, do you hear me?"
"I know." Lu Weiwei was listless, feeling much depressed.
This made everyone in the office a little uncomfortable.
You know, Lu Weiwei is responsible for the atmosphere of the entire Furong branch.
Now it is wilting, and I feel like the whole office has lost its vitality in an instant.
Lu Weiwei stood up and sighed: "I'm going to change clothes. Junior Brother Gu, you wait for me in the backyard."
"Okay." Gu Chen nodded silently, then glanced at He Junchao.
He Junchao was stunned for two seconds, and then he said: "Yes, yes, I have to drive."
…
…
Not long after, the exit of the small door in the backyard was located.
Gu Chen sat in the driver's seat and waited quietly for Lu Weiwei.
It feels like this is fake, a bit like Zhao Guozhi giving special approval to go on a date with Lu Weiwei, which feels weird.
At this moment, Lu Weiwei was also wearing a black dress and walked over from the direction of the police dormitory.
Just open the door and get in the familiar co-pilot.
Gu Chen asked: "Sister Lu, where are we going today?"
Lu Weiwei glanced at Gu Chen and said with a forced smile, "I don't know either."
"Then... let's take a walk?" Since he received a sudden mission to take Lu Weiwei out to relax, Gu Chen didn't know where he should take Lu Weiwei at the moment.
Lu Weiwei said indifferently: "You just drive, it doesn't matter where you drive."
"Okay." Seeing that Lu Weiwei had no request, Gu Chen no longer hesitated and drove the vehicle directly out of the back door of Furong Branch.
…
…
He didn't know how long he had been wandering around the neighborhood when Gu Chen suddenly drove his car to Yanjiang Road and then drove out along Yanjiang Road.
Relaxation was nothing more than finding a place with few people to stay quietly. Gu Chen simply drove the car along the river to the suburbs.
Seeing that the distance from the city was getting farther and farther, Lu Weiwei's eyes were dull, and it seemed that the scenery along the way was nothing more than this.
In the past, Lu Weiwei, a talkative person, would definitely have to chat with Gu Chen all the way.
But now it's completely the opposite.
Gu Chen was afraid that Lu Weiwei would be unhappy, so he had various awkward conversations along the way. Suddenly he thought of a place and suggested:
"Senior Sister Lu, I know there is a small island in the middle of the river further on, and there is a temple over there. Why don't we go there?"
"Okay, I can just relax for a while." Lu Weiwei was immediately interested when she heard that she was going to a small island in the middle of the river.
Seeing that Lu Weiwei agreed, Gu Chen accelerated the car and drove directly towards the small island in the middle of the river.
A small island in the middle of the river, surrounded by water on all sides.
It is connected by a bridge across the river.
Gu Chen drove into the cross-river bridge from Yanjiang Road, then drove out from the fork in the cross-river bridge and drove directly to the small island in the middle of the river.
Due to its suburban location, this small island is rarely developed and has only one small temple.
However, because it is often flooded by rivers during the flood season, the temple is actually in dilapidated condition.
Only during the dry season do people occasionally come to travel.
Therefore, the area around the temple on Jiangxin Island has long been overgrown with weeds.
At this time, Jiangnan City is about to usher in the flood season, so there are not many people coming here to play. Occasionally, you can see some parked vehicles on Jiangxin Island.
When Gu Chen drove the car to Jiangxin Island, there were already five cars parked side by side.
These tourists were taking pictures in a wetland, but Gu Chen did not choose to park the vehicles together, but continued to drive forward until he found the dilapidated temple.
"We're here." Gu Chen parked the car at the entrance of the temple and reminded him.
At this time, Lu Weiwei seemed to be in a much better mood than before.
Breathing in the fresh air around him, he couldn't help but sigh: "I haven't come out to relax like this for a long time. This place is quite nice. How did Junior Brother Gu find it?"
"I came here once with my parents when I was a kid." Gu Chen locked the car door and walked directly up the shabby steps to the entrance of the temple.
At this moment, the temple gate was probably moved back home by some aunt to be used as firewood.
The surrounding doors and windows, as well as any valuable items, had been demolished and very little was left.
In recent years, there has been talk of demolition.
Therefore, there is no definite date yet on when this dilapidated temple will be demolished.
"Click! Click!" Lu Weiwei stood outside the temple, took a few selfies for herself, and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Gu, come over and take a few pictures for me. I think this angle is okay."
"No problem." Gu Chen walked back to Lu Weiwei, took Lu Weiwei's phone, and began to take some landscape photos for her as requested by Lu Weiwei.
But when Gu Chen took the last picture, he found a man standing by the window on the top of an ancient tower, looking up at the sky, seemingly letting everything go.
But you must know that this ancient tower is more than ten stories high, and this man did not have any protective measures and was standing at the corner of the window sill.
If it was an accident, it would fall down directly.
"What's going on with this guy?" Gu Chen put down his phone and couldn't help but ask.
Lu Weiwei was stunned, walked to Gu Chen's position, followed Gu Chen's gaze prompts, glanced at the man above the ancient tower in the distance, and said jokingly: "Is that man meditating?"
"But I feel more like committing suicide." Gu Chen frowned and expressed his opinion.
"Suicide?" Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, then raised her head and looked around, complaining: "Obviously she is meditating."
"But with the way he stands, if he falls down, he'll be dead."
Turning to look at Gu Chen beside her, Lu Weiwei also suggested: "Junior brother Gu, let's go over and persuade him to come down?"
"Okay." Gu Chen meant exactly this.
So after handing the phone back to Lu Weiwei, the two of them ran all the way towards the ancient pagoda.
At this moment, the two came to the bottom of the ancient pagoda.
The man was still standing at the corner of the window, looking up at the sky.
His body was constantly swaying under the breeze from the river, as if he might fall down at any time.
"Hello……"
Just as Lu Weiwei was about to call him, Gu Chen stopped her instantly and said, "Don't call him yet. If you shout like this, you might slip and fall."
"What should we do?" Lu Weiwei was also a little anxious.
Gu Chen pointed to the stairs and said, "Let's go up quietly and rescue him first."
"Okay." Lu Weiwei couldn't think of a better way, so she could only agree.
After all, a situation like this is usually a matter of fire rescue, but today it happened to me.
