"Alone? He lives alone in the room?" Hearing what the middle-aged fat woman said, Gu Chen couldn't help but become alert.
The fat woman also replied affirmatively: "Yes, this tenant said before that he came here to find a job, so he will rent it for a short period of time."
"How long will he rent it for?" Lu Weiwei quickly asked.
"One month." The fat woman held out a finger.
Officer Li quickly asked: "Have you signed a contract? Also, you need to register your identity to rent a house here."
"There are all of them." After Officer Li finished speaking, the middle-aged fat woman turned back directly.
Not long after, she found the rental contract from a document bag, handed it to Gu Chen and others and said:
"This is a rental contract, with his ID card registration information on it."
"Zhao Guohua?" Gu Chen looked at the tenant's name, frowned slightly, then handed the document to Officer Li and said:
"Senior Brother Li, please help investigate the authenticity of this Zhao Guozhi's identity information."
"Well, leave this to me." After receiving the rental contract, Officer Li took out his mobile phone, photographed the information, and then sent it to his colleagues for help in investigating.
On the other side, Gu Chen also reminded: "Do you have a spare key to the room he rented?"
"Yes." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, the middle-aged woman took out the key and took the initiative to step forward and said, "Let me open the door for you."
After everyone heard this, they followed closely.
Not long after, as the middle-aged woman opened the door, everyone immediately put on protective equipment and entered the house to conduct search operations.
Gu Chen first checked the trash can in the living room. Gu Chen found an interesting problem, that is, there was no garbage in the trash can. This made Gu Chen very confused.
Logically speaking, if you live in a room, you will produce garbage no matter what, but there is no such thing here.
Of course, Gu Chen could also understand that the suspect Zhao Guohua had already thrown away garbage once when he went out.
So Gu Chen went to the bedroom again and searched the bedroom.
Since this is a house with two bedrooms and one living room, the area is not very large, but the same is true for the bedroom. There is no garbage in the trash can.
Not only that, Gu Chen couldn't even see any trace of anyone living here.
All items were placed neatly, even the bed was clean, and the thin blanket was thrown aside and folded neatly.
"Junior Brother Gu." Lu Weiwei walked to Gu Chen and reminded, "This room looks weird. It feels like there is no sign of anyone living there."
"Yes, it seems that Senior Sister Lu also sees the problem." Seeing that Lu Weiwei wanted to go with him, Gu Chen also reminded:
"This place does not seem to be used by Zhao Guohua to live, but as a place to rest."
"Furthermore, judging from the furnishings in the room, he shouldn't have left many traces of himself."
"So, this Zhao Guohua should be quite defensive?" Lu Weiwei said.
Gu Chen nodded silently: "You can understand it that way, and judging from the contract, this Zhao Guozhi has just rented this room for less than a week."
"But within this week, he didn't leave any trace of living in the room. Obviously, this is not normal."
"Yeah." After listening to Gu Chen's analysis, Lu Weiwei crossed her arms and said thoughtfully:
"This Zhao Guozhi, I feel like he has another agenda. Less than a week after renting the house, he stabbed Uncle Zhang in a nearby abandoned factory."
"And judging from the movements, it was all a deadly move. It felt like that guy originally wanted to set up an ambush here."
After thinking about it, Lu Weiwei denied herself: "But that's not right. If this suspect wants to set up an ambush to deal with Uncle Zhang, then how can he conclude that Uncle Zhang will patrol here? In terms of timing, he can do it.
Is it so perfect? Probably not, right?"
Listening to Lu Weiwei's analysis, Gu Chen subconsciously glanced at Officer Li and asked out of curiosity: "By the way, Senior Brother Li."
"Ah? What's the matter?" Officer Li, who was still checking the room, turned around when he heard Gu Chen's call.
"Uncle Zhang patrolled here today. Is there any pattern?" Gu Chen said.
"Principle? I don't quite understand." Listening to Gu Chen's words, Officer Li couldn't help but shake his head.
Gu Chen crossed his arms and continued to explain: "For example, have you and Uncle Zhang often patrolled this area in the past few days?"
"Uh...listening to what you said, it seems like this is what happened."
"What's going on?" After hearing what Officer Li said, Lu Weiwei seemed to feel that there was something hidden in this?
Officer Li also quickly explained: "These past few days, my master and I are indeed responsible for the patrol work in this area."
"Anyway, when I come here every day, it's almost noon. Anyway, every time it's this place, the master will habitually ask me to go to the supermarket to buy something."
"Sometimes it's water, sometimes it's bread. Anyway, I buy some and put it in the car. I fill my stomach when I'm hungry. This has been my habit these days."
"Approximately how long did it last?" Hearing this, Gu Chen frowned slightly.
"About...a week?" Officer Li said thoughtfully.
"That's not right." Gu Chen shook his head, seemed to realize something, and raised his head and said:
"You and Uncle Zhang have been patrolling around here for a week, and every time when it's almost noon, you will park in front of that supermarket, and then you go to the supermarket to buy things."
"This scene seems to be exactly the same as what happened today."
"And I've seen the rental contract for Zhao Guohua, and it's less than a week old."
"So, people may have discovered your patrol pattern, so they rented the house here, and then conducted a survey of the surrounding terrain, and finally chose this abandoned factory."
"My goal is actually very clear. Maybe I came here for Uncle Zhang."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Oh my God!" After hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei, who had not realized the seriousness of the problem before, couldn't help but exclaimed and said:
"So, this Zhao Guohua is actually here specifically for Uncle Zhang, and the other party has already figured out your patrol patterns."
"He even deliberately led Uncle Zhang to follow him and then came to the abandoned factory. It seemed like it was all a trap?"
Thinking of this, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but take a breath, and said angrily: "In that case, it is very likely that she came prepared."
"No way? It can't be such a coincidence, right?" After hearing Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei's explanations, Officer Li couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart.
Before, it only felt like an unexpected incident, but now, after Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei's detailed analysis, it seemed that the situation was much more complicated than they imagined.
Officer Li rubbed his face with both hands to calm himself down as quickly as possible, and said slowly: "Let me think about it, what is going on?"
While everyone was waiting for Officer Li to think about the result, a call came directly to Officer Li's cell phone.
Officer Li didn't care too much. He took out his mobile phone and opened the answer button: "Hello? What? The identity is fake, are you sure? Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Officer Li looked at Gu Chen with a horrified look and explained: "My colleagues have verified that this guy named 'Zhao Guohua' has a forged ID card."
"That's a false identity." This was the same as what Gu Chen had guessed before. He sighed softly and said:
"In that case, this person named Zhao Guohua may have had a premeditated plan, and the target is probably Uncle Zhang."
"Including that he knows your patrol patterns and times, and even rents a house nearby, perhaps just to facilitate his movements."
With a faint sigh, Gu Chen added: "It seems that Uncle Zhang has something very important to him, or some secrets."
"So, they must take action against Uncle Zhang."
After the words fell, Gu Chen looked at Officer Li again and continued to ask:
"Brother Li, you said that Uncle Zhang and you have been investigating the financial fraud case of Sanji recently. Are you sure you have some important evidence in your hands?"
"No." When Gu Chen looked at him anxiously, Officer Li also looked puzzled and said:
"We only assisted in the investigation of Sanchi's case, and to this day, we don't know much about Sanchi."
After a pause, Officer Li added: "Yes, we do not have relevant evidence."
"Could it be that Uncle Zhang had some idea, but didn't have time to tell you?" Gu Chen also provided another possibility.
But Officer Li flatly denied it: "No, I work and patrol with the master every day. If he has some important clues, he will definitely provide them and will not fail to tell me."
"That's strange." After listening to Officer Li's explanation, Lu Weiwei on the side also said in confusion:
"If that's the case, then why did that guy target Uncle Zhang like this?"
"No." Gu Chen walked back and forth twice and continued:
"We must find out what happened to Uncle Zhang during this time?"
"If we calculate based on time, it is obvious that the other party had already targeted Uncle Zhang before renting the house, and then decided to take action in this area."
"That's why the other party rented a house nearby and waited for the opportunity."
"And the other party may have prepared for this kind of timing several times, but today is just the right time to lead Uncle Zhang out alone and enter the trap set by the other party."
"I think the fact that the other party has spent so much money must be related to the fact that Uncle Zhang has some important clues about them, so they want to kill Uncle Zhang and silence him."
"No...it can't be right?" Listening to Gu Chen's analysis, Officer Li felt more and more that it all seemed too weird.
But Gu Chen said categorically: "Senior Brother Li, from now on, you must find out what Uncle Zhang is doing this week?"
"Especially the period before the other party rents the house, this is an important time point."
"If you want to figure out why that guy wanted to assassinate Uncle Zhang, you must figure out many of the situations before this. You can't omit anything."
After thinking for a while, Gu Chen added: "Also, we must check more on the nearby street surveillance. Compared with this guy, I have also seen the surveillance distribution, but there should be mistakes."
"As long as we can capture some clues in the surveillance screen, we can conduct reverse tracking. I think we can definitely find that guy."
"Okay, I'll try my best." After hearing Gu Chen's words, Officer Li could only agree.
Afterwards, Officer Li even took out his notebook and began to record some important clues.
Among them are those things that Gu Chen explained.
Because in Gu Chen's view, this attack on the police seemed to be far from simple, and there must be other circumstances involved.
It's just that Zhang Jingde is seriously injured and hospitalized now. If you want to ask something from him, I'm afraid it won't be possible for a while.
As Zhang Jingde's apprentice and Zhang Jingde's partner during work, Officer Li should be the most aware of Zhang Jingde's daily situation.
But the problem now is that even Officer Li doesn't know in what ways did Zhang Jingde offend Zhao Guohua?
Therefore, Officer Li needs to return to the unit and conduct a detailed investigation of the work done a week ago.
Since there were only some footprints at the scene, Gu Chen concluded that the other party might have just stayed in the room, but had not used anything in the room.
Even fingerprints may not have been left behind, so the evidence collection of footprints seems to have become extremely precious.
Seeing that the brother unit had completed the evidence collection work, Gu Chen patted Lu Weiwei on the shoulder and signaled to leave the scene.
Walking outside the rental house, Lu Weiwei also asked Gu Chen: "Junior brother Gu, do you think? Is Uncle Zhang hiding something from Officer Li in some aspects?"
"Yes." Gu Chen looked back at Officer Li, who was still in the room handling work, and nodded silently to Lu Weiwei, and whispered:
"Uncle Zhang may have something that he doesn't want Officer Li to know, so Officer Li doesn't know why the other party wants to assassinate Uncle Zhang."
"I think the problem may be before renting the house. We don't have evidence for this yet, we can only say it is conjecture."
"But the specific situation still needs to be investigated by the High-tech Branch as a basis. Maybe they will gain something, but I have an ominous feeling."
"What kind of ominous premonition?" Looking at Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei also looked curious.
Gu Chen also sighed and said helplessly: "Uncle Zhang has a habit of keeping dangerous things to himself. These disciples he has taught are all very aware of this."
"Senior Brother Li is his latest apprentice. In terms of experience, he is obviously not as good as the others."
"Uncle Zhang takes him with him. On the one hand, he imparts experience. On the other hand, he will definitely not be allowed to participate in many dangerous actions."
After a pause, Gu Chen continued: "However, this time, I think Uncle Zhang is still hiding something from us. To be precise, he is hiding something from Officer Li and other people in the unit."
