Zhao Guozhi's meaning is very clear. The tasks assigned by the provincial department fall on the Jiangnan City Police Force, and the Furong Branch, as the backbone of the food festival area, should play an important and key role.
Therefore, Zhao Guozhi came back from the provincial meeting this time with an important task.
Of course, Zhao Guozhi need not worry too much about Xu Peiwen.
As long as he does not realize that his identity has been grasped by the police, Xu Peiwen will always be under the control of the police.
And Zhao Guozhi focused more on Huang Zhigang behind Xu Peiwen, which was the top priority of this mission.
Of course, Zhao Guozhi would feel relieved by leaving the task to Gu Chen.
"Gu Chen, please read the information of these two people in detail. In addition, according to reliable information, Xu Peiwen will come to Jiangnan City today to handle some food festival procedures."
"Based on past experience, in the next few days, he will first go to some busy places to set up stalls to do business, and on the day of the food festival, he will come to his own exclusive area."
"So, starting from today, you will start monitoring Xu Peiwen. I will arrange for someone to contact you about Xu Peiwen's monitoring situation."
"I understand, leave it to us, Director Zhao, don't worry." Gu Chen said.
After everyone exchanged a few words in the office, Zhao Guozhi left.
Afterwards, Gu Chen inserted the mobile USB flash drive into the computer, and everyone immediately gathered around to make preliminary preparations for the subsequent case investigation.
In the computer, all kinds of data are densely packed. Many photo documents look very old at first glance, and the clarity of the photos is also greatly reduced.
But through these old photos, Gu Chen can still feel what happened in those places on certain days decades ago.
"Isn't it too tragic?" Yuan Shasha couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw the photo of an absentee worker being carried out of the mine with a bloody head.
"How ruthless do you have to be to do this to be so heartless?"
"Harmful, there were a lot of ruthless people in those days," Officer Wang said.
"Mainly, seeing these photos makes me feel that there seems to be something evil hidden deep in the hearts of these people."
"Even though I no longer do those evil things, I still feel that these people are not good people at all."
"Even if you can meet his eyes now, you can see his seriousness."
While speaking, Lu Weiwei also crossed her arms and couldn't help but sigh: "Anyway, I feel that this Xu Peiwen is not that simple."
"We, the police, have noticed him now, but with such a person's level of alertness, as long as someone meets his eyes with surprise in their eyes, it will arouse his alertness."
"Senior Sister Lu is right." After listening to Lu Weiwei's explanation, Gu Chen also agreed and said:
"The reason why a murderer like Xu Peiwen has escaped detection for many years without being discovered for so many years obviously has a lot to do with his high vigilance."
"So, when monitoring this kind of person, you must be more careful, especially when you look into his eyes. If you are a little guilty, he will find out the clues."
"If he finds out and he is targeted, it will be difficult to carry out the next work, let alone find Huang Zhigang through Xu Peiwen."
"I think it would be very difficult for Xu Peiwen to remain under the surveillance of our police."
After a pause, Gu Chen continued to emphasize: "So, don't think it's easy to monitor Xu Peiwen. Any mistake will cause our entire plan to be in vain."
"So, Gu Chen, what are you going to do?" He Junchao asked.
Gu Chen smiled slightly and said: "But we also have the best police team. In my opinion, it is best to send experienced members of our team with strong investigative capabilities to participate in the surveillance of Xu Peiwen."
"As for other new police officers, they will not be considered to participate in this mission for the time being."
"Ah?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, many new police officers in the office sighed.
It felt like such a good opportunity, the opportunity to participate in the arrest of a murderer who had been a murderer for decades, was rejected ruthlessly by Gu Chen.
You must know that this Xu Peiwen is currently under police surveillance and is a turtle in the urn.
I feel like this great opportunity has fallen into everyone’s hands, why don’t you take part?
But even so, Gu Chen's analysis is not unreasonable.
Who is Xu Peiwen? A murderer whose hands were stained with blood decades ago.
It disappeared for decades, but suddenly appeared again decades later.
But people have been able to slip through the cracks for decades because of their ability. The new police officers are inexperienced. If there is deliberate observation in their eyes, it will be easily discovered by Xu Peiwen.
Therefore, although it is a bit regretful, everyone agrees with Gu Chen's approach.
Officer Ding asked: "Gu Chen, who are you going to send to participate?"
"Senior Brother Wang, Senior Sister Lu, and Xiao Yuan, plus me." Gu Chen said.
"How many of you? Can you?" Officer Ding asked tentatively.
Officer Wang chuckled and couldn't help but said: "Hey, Old Ding, how can this be done? We old comrades have worked together for so long, and our experience and tacit understanding have reached the point where we are very good at it."
"When it comes to cooperation, each of us looks at each other and basically knows what the other person means."
"Besides, we are all experts in this aspect of investigation. Leave it to us, so you can rest assured."
"Harm, I don't mean that, I mean, I, I can do it too." Officer Ding said.
Gu Chen, who understood what Officer Ding meant, also smiled slightly and explained: "Senior Brother Ding, we still need someone to dispatch and direct the office. I leave it to you and Senior Brother He, so we can feel more at ease."
"After all, this Xu Peiwen is not that easy to deal with."
"Yes, Lao Ding, you and He Junchao just stay in the office and cooperate with us."
"For such scoundrels, just leave it to us." Officer Wang quickly agreed.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Officer Ding said indifferently: "Since Gu Chen said so, let's leave it like that."
"Everyone, please take a look at the information quickly and don't miss any key details."
While talking, Comrade Lao Ding asked Yuan Shasha to print out the files in the mobile USB flash drive and prepare to share them with everyone for review.
…
…
3:20 pm, West Square of Jiangnan Sports Center.
This is the service center of the food festival, and many management tasks are carried out here.
At this moment, in a parking space not far from the service center, a black civilian car was parked there.
Sitting in the car were Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha.
"That Xu Peiwen hasn't come yet?" Lu Weiwei, who lowered half of the car window, also used binoculars to observe repeatedly, but found no trace of Xu Peiwen.
Officer Wang, who was lying on the back seat, said leisurely: "What is supposed to come will come sooner or later, just wait slowly."
"It will definitely come." Gu Chen, who had been sitting quietly in the driver's seat, said calmly:
"According to the information provided by our brother's unit, Xu Peiwen set off from our brother's city by car an hour ago. According to normal circumstances, he should be here soon."
"Yes." As soon as Gu Chen finished his words, Yuan Shasha also echoed: "Xu Peiwen drives an old van, and his mobile food stalls are all folded and placed in this van."
"Usually, Xu Peiwen lives and eats in this van, so as long as the vehicle hasn't arrived in Jiangnan City, we don't have to worry."
"I guess I'll be able to see traces of Xu Peiwen here soon."
"Yes." After listening to Yuan Shasha's words, Officer Wang, who was lying on his seat to rest, couldn't help but said:
"Xu Peiwen has been registered on the organizer's list. This time he came to go through the formalities to confirm the final booth location."
"So, is it okay if he doesn't come? Just keep waiting."
"You, Mr. Wang, are great. Come and monitor." Seeing Officer Wang chatting freely, Lu Weiwei threw the binoculars directly to Officer Wang in the back row.
Officer Wang chuckled and muttered: "Little belly chicken intestines."
"Stop arguing, Xu Peiwen is here." Just as Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei were complaining to each other, Gu Chen's words instantly made the atmosphere in the car tense.
So everyone immediately started looking out the window.
I saw an old white van slowly driving towards the food service center.
The car was driving very slowly, and everyone could clearly see the various totems on the vehicle.
It can be said that Xu Peiwen still knows good food. Although it is an old white van, he still put a lot of effort into the design of the vehicle's appearance.
Knowing that Xu Peiwen would usually set up mobile stalls in some busy business districts, this white van became a mobile store with an unattractive appearance and it was difficult to attract customers.
But since this Jiangnan City’s first food festival has corresponding fixed booths, there is no need for these fancy mobile vans.
"Look, the car is coming towards us." While everyone was observing, Lu Weiwei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also noticed that the white van intentionally drove next to her when it drove in front of her vehicle.
Drive over to the parking space.
Seeing this, everyone immediately took out their mobile phones and pretended to play with them together.
Since everyone is wearing sunglasses, they can hide their gaze very well.
Gu Chen observed the old van from the corner of his eye.
I saw the vehicle parked very accurately next to my own vehicle, and then, a tall, thin man who looked to be around 60 years old got out of the driver's seat.
The man was also holding a small satchel, hunched over, and walked slowly towards the service center.
"It's him." Since everyone has studied Xu Peiwen repeatedly before, they have a very good understanding of Xu Peiwen's appearance and characteristics.
"Pay attention and observe." Officer Wang reminded.
Gu Chen picked up the phone and dialed He Junchao's number.
After a while, He Junchao answered the call, and Gu Chen quickly asked: "Xu Peiwen has entered the Food Festival Service Center, how is the situation there?"
He Junchao's reply came quickly on the phone: "Through the surveillance, I can see that Xu Peiwen, this Xu Peiwen, is queuing up now. There are several people in front of him, all of whom are here to apply for food festival booth certificates."
"Pay attention to Xu Peiwen and pay close attention to any detailed movements he makes."
"Understood. The Xu Peiwen I saw was looking around, and judging from his observation of his surroundings, he was quite vigilant."
"Moreover, he looked in the direction of the surveillance camera from time to time," He Junchao said on the phone.
Lu Weiwei hummed and said with a smile: "It seems that Xu Peiwen is quite interesting."
"At least it can be seen that this guy has been vigilant enough for so many years."
After finishing her words, Lu Weiwei glanced in Gu Chen's direction again, and then said:
"This is consistent with what Junior Brother Gu thought about in the office. Tracking this Xu Peiwen really requires some effort."
"Yeah, I feel like this guy is quite alert. Everyone else is lining up quietly, but he is the only one who keeps looking around."
"It can be seen that he has remained very vigilant for so many years, so Gu Chen, you'd better be careful and don't let him see that someone is monitoring him." He Junchao, who was under surveillance, said.
Gu Chen said humbly: "I understand, then please ask Senior Brother He to continue to monitor. If there is any situation, remember to report it at any time."
"learn."
The two communicated for a while and then both hung up the phone.
At this moment, Gu Chen could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the car was beginning to become tense.
Since this is a murderer from decades ago, but we cannot catch him now, we must keep him under close surveillance.
For someone with such strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities, monitoring him seems to be a very challenging job.
But at the same time, Gu Chen also knew very well that if we didn't find out as soon as possible the whereabouts of Huang Zhigang, who had never shown up, then everyone would always be in a passive state.
Gu Chen pulled out a plastic bag and held the information documents in his hand. He looked at them carefully for a few seconds and then said: "Remember, the booth in this area is Xu Peiwen's booth."
"Xu Peiwen will be doing business here over the next two days over the weekend."
"However, our focus is not on this, but on his network."
"But since our identities are easily recognized in Jiangnan City, this operation will be a little troublesome."
"But it doesn't matter. Director Zhao has taken care of everything for us. In addition, the monitoring network everywhere can also be used by us."
"Yes." After listening to Gu Chen's words, Officer Wang said helplessly:
"The most important thing is that Xu Peiwen, in order to save money, has been living in that van."
"If he doesn't live in a hotel, it's hard for us to monitor him, but one thing is that we need to lure him away as much as possible so that we can quickly install monitoring equipment on his van."
"But now, there are not many people queuing up at the service center, and I'm not sure whether he will suddenly turn back to get something from the car or something."
"So, if we wait a little longer, we must find a way to get him out of the car as much as possible."
