Gu Chen squeezed onto the earliest bus and rushed to Furong Police Station to go to work. There were still many things to deal with today.
Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang have not yet come to work, and the door of Zhao Guozhi's office is also closed. In the three offices, there are only yawning comrades on the night shift.
Several young policewomen passed by the office of Group Three, glanced at Gu Chen, and left with smiles.
The focus of everyone's discussion is of course not Gu Chen's new case.
Speaking of Gu Chen's performance sheet this month, it is quite beautiful. Small cases were solved in one day, and complex cases were solved in two or three days.
Nowadays, many new members have been added to the three groups, and the workload has also begun to increase a lot. They are also on the honor list of the city bureau. Many colleagues are watching. A beautiful performance report is very important.
The little policewomen don't care about Gu Chen's case, they care more about whether Gu Chen's new hairstyle is handsome enough.
"Gu Chen has a new hairstyle, and it's still a crew cut. Not many boys dare to shave off their crew cuts these days. After all, handsome or not, a crew cut can kill you." A young policewoman passing by gushed.
's evaluation.
"Good-looking people look good even if they have their heads shaved. Gu Chen's head shape is 360 degrees with no blind spots. He is the most handsome guy even standing in prison." Another slightly fat little policewoman said.
"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about my little Gu? How can he stand with the reform-through-labor prisoners?" Another little policewoman was unhappy and spoke for Gu Chen.
"Your little Gu? Your little Gu? They don't even know your name, right? Do you want to give it back to your little Gu? Is it sad for you?"
The corridor suddenly became lively...
Many female police officers who joined later also started heated discussions, and the reason turned out to be a war caused by a flat head.
"Good morning, Junior Brother Gu." Lu Weiwei came to work with a lot of breakfast. She specially wore a beautiful bun today, and also put on some light makeup and red eye shadow. She was very beautiful.
"Good morning, Senior Sister Lu!" Gu Chen greeted her as usual.
"Junior Brother Gu, does my new eyeshadow look good?" Lu Weiwei turned her head and lay on Gu Chen's desk, then blinked her beautiful eyes.
"It's beautiful. Senior Sister Lu is very beautiful."
"Hehe, I like people like Junior Brother Gu who love to tell the truth. Hey, I'll reward you." Lu Weiwei took out a bottle of yogurt from her bag.
"Tsk, tsk, when do people start to grow old? It must be when they start pretending to be young." Officer Wang appeared out of nowhere and said something shabby out of the blue.
Lu Weiwei raised her hand and was about to smash the yogurt into Lao Wang's butt.
Lao Wang hid quickly and did not let her succeed.
"Senior Sister Lu, do you remember the old man who closed his account at noon yesterday?" Gu Chen suddenly asked about yesterday's events.
Lu Weiwei was stunned for two seconds, and then said: "You mean the old lady sitting on the bench in the office hall at noon yesterday?"
"Yes, it's her."
"What's wrong with her?" Lu Weiwei was also very curious.
"I went for a night jog yesterday and saw her at a roadside vegetable stall. She turns out to be from Liucun, Meishan Town. Do you know Liucun, a place like this?"
"This?" Lu Weiwei suddenly hesitated, seeming to have some impression.
"Willow Village?" Officer Wang held his chin and looked up at the ceiling for five seconds before suddenly asking: "Is it the Willow Village where the village is surrounded by a river and there is a big willow tree across the river?"
"Exactly." Gu Chen was very happy, it turned out that someone knew about it.
"I remember it was a place with very beautiful scenery, ancient villages, and beautiful mountains and rivers. It was a good place for outings. Living in that kind of place is the most suitable for retirement."
Officer Wang told everything based on what he knew.
"Huh? How about we form a group sometime and go there to have fun together?"
Lu Weiwei made suggestions with great interest.
She thought that Gu Chen must have been too busy and tired from work during this period, and wanted to find a place with beautiful scenery to relax.
After all, she has been working with Gu Chen for several months. Apart from work needs, Lu Weiwei really found that she had never traveled with Gu Chen, so her performance now is the most positive.
Officer Wang looked at Lu Weiwei's successful look and smiled like an uncle: "Going on a trip? Let's go together? Let's dream."
"What's wrong? Lao Wang, do you have any objections?"
"It's not that I have any objections." Officer Wang explained: "The main thing is, our time off is too difficult. If three people can have one or two time off, that would be great. It takes three people to get together. To be honest,
Zhao Suo's 40-meter sword is probably going to be used to chop people."
"Is it really that difficult?" Lu Weiwei was a little disappointed, but she didn't give up: "Old Wang, you are the best, let's see if we can think of another way."
"No way." Officer Wang refused simply. Lu Weiwei's tactics were of no use to him, mainly because Officer Wang knew Lu Weiwei too well.
"I thought our Criminal Investigation Team 3 was on the city bureau's honor roll. You, Mr. Wang, are quite respectable in front of Mr. Zhao. It seems that I think highly of you."
The corners of Lu Weiwei's mouth raised, showing a mocking smile, contemptuous yet elegant.
To her, Lao Wang was used to mock.
"Okay, I can go and talk about it, but it depends on work arrangements." Comrade Lao Wang tried hard to tell himself that this was not because of Lu Weiwei's provocation, but because he also wanted to organize a trip for three people.
After all, work is work and entertainment is entertainment. It’s time to spend a luxurious day.
"Senior Brother Wang, I think the three of us can go to Liucun without asking for leave." Gu Chen's answer quickly aroused the curiosity of the two of them.
"Junior Brother Gu, do you have any good ideas?" Lu Weiwei stared straight at Gu Chen, feeling that Junior Brother's idea should be a good one.
"I want to go to Liucun to investigate the situation." Gu Chen took the information compiled last night from the drawer and handed it to Lu Weiwei: "I suspect there is something wrong with the ancient temple over there."
"Ancient temple?"
"has a problem?"
Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang looked at each other, feeling that Gu Chen had other plans.
After reading the information, Officer Wang smiled and said, "Gu Chen, are what you said true?"
"It can't be false. I asked very clearly yesterday, and the old lady doesn't seem to be a joking person. After all, her wife is gone, and she was quite sad at noon." Gu Chen also analyzed his own analysis one by one.
tell.
After several months of handling cases, Gu Chen actually had a strong idea of what kind of people would say what kind of things.
In fact, Gu Chen can also tell whether he is lying...
But having said that, from this point of view, most trainee police officers at Furong Police Station can also do it. It is not a special skill, it is just that practice makes perfect.
Just like many anti-pickpocket police officers catching thieves, experienced plainclothes police officers can actually tell the look of thieves in the crowd at a glance.
Gu Chen possesses specialized observation skills and has special judgment in identification.
"From what you said, the animals around that ancient temple all died mysteriously, and Willow Village is now haunted? The villagers have to move out en masse?"
Officer Wang was shocked by the explanation in Gu Chen's information...
You know, it is illegal to spread rumors, and it is also a serious crime to spread rumors.
"My idea is, what is the purpose of this rumor maker? And those bizarre incidents that happened in Liucun, could there be someone behind the scenes?" Gu Chen habitually turned his pen and analyzed in a clear and logical manner.
For him, he cannot let go of any doubts, and he will pay close attention to any incident that harms one party.
Officer Wang rubbed his eyebrows, and then said after a moment: "How about this, you go to the director's office with me, report what you know to Director Zhao, and see what he thinks? If there is no problem, then we will
Come up with a solution as soon as possible and then go to Liucun to figure out the problem there."
"That's what I mean too." Lu Weiwei also nodded.
…
…
Director's office.
Zhao Guozhi wore glasses and looked through Gu Chen's records carefully, frowning from time to time.
One minute later...
Zhao Guozhi put his glasses on, raised his head and asked Gu Chen: "You said that old lady is from Liucun, are you sure about this?"
"It should be possible, because she came to our police station yesterday morning to cancel the transfer of ownership for her husband. We can check it from the system. This is not difficult."
Zhao Guozhi nodded and thought deeply: "I have also heard some of the latest rumors about Liucun, but they are rumors after all, and no one reported the case, so I have not done any research on things in Liucun."
"Zhao, you don't have to worry about this. The investigation can be left to our third team." Officer Wang volunteered his opinion. He was also quite curious about this incident.
The main reason was that Gu Chen's report contained some strange things, which seemed nonsense to Officer Wang.
But Gu Chen is also a rigorous person, and his professional attitude towards cases sometimes puts him to shame.
When you partner with Gu Chen, you can always find the bright spots in this kid.
Zhao Guozhi did not answer immediately, but lowered his head and thought deeply for more than ten seconds before saying: "In this way, you don't have to use your identity as a police officer to go there to understand the situation, including the things mentioned in Gu Chen's information.
See if it’s true.”
After thinking about it, Zhao Guozhi added: "There is also the reaction of the local villagers. This is very important. If it really threatens their survival, then we must find out the masterminds hiding behind them and never let them harm one party."
.”
"Please rest assured, we will definitely be able to do it." Gu Chen already understood Zhao Guozhi's attitude very well.
In fact, Zhao Guozhi had already noticed some rumors about Liucun.
It's just that because there is no precise evidence and no understanding of the local area, I have been suppressing it.
And Gu Chen took the initiative to come to him with clues this time, which also made Zhao Guozhi determined to conduct a thorough investigation into the situation in Liucun.
"Let's do this." Zhao Guozhi suddenly stood up, picked up the tea in front of him and said: "You should make an action report immediately and give it to me. If there are no problems, then proceed as planned."
When it comes to people's safety, Zhao Guozhi does not dare to slack off at all.
"Understood." Gu Chen agreed simply.
After returning to the office of Group Three, Gu Chen was full of energy and immediately took on the task of drafting the mission plan.
Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei were responsible for revising the drafting plan. In the end, the three of them had to come up with a reliable action plan.
"Why pretend to be a family?" Lu Weiwei was very resistant to Lao Wang's suggestion: "I don't think you and Gu Chen are two brothers at all."
"Then what do you think we should do? We have to have an identity, right?" Officer Wang said helplessly.
It's different now than before. Before, I wore a police uniform and everyone had to be respectful when I saw you. It was very easy to investigate the case.
But now if you want to sneak into Liucun as an ordinary person to understand the situation, you must have a suitable identity.
"Senior Brother Wang, what do you think about going to Liucun to sketch?" Gu Chen suddenly gave his own suggestion: "After all, the old lady also said that there used to be some art students who would organize groups to sketch there."
"Hey, I think this suggestion is good." Lu Weiwei immediately agreed: "Gu Chen and I can play the role of art students, and Lao Wang, you can play the role of the art teacher. We can say that we have similar interests, meet by chance on the road, and then go together.
"
"No." Officer Wang immediately retorted: "It's okay for me to go out to sketch alone, but you two, a man and a woman, go together, doesn't it feel right?"
"There's nothing wrong with it." Lu Weiwei suddenly curled her lips, glanced at Gu Chen secretly, then stood next to Gu Chen and said, "Don't you think... we look like a couple?"
