In the breakfast shop, Gu Chen snapped his fingers, which was completely consistent with his previous guess.
Gu Chen also guessed the other party's psychology. It can be said that he has surpassed the first step of investigating Zhang Jingde's assassination.
That is, Zhang Jingde has actually been in danger for a long time. The other party knows everything about Zhang Jingde, so he can deal with it calmly.
However, Zhang Jingde was completely unaware. In such a situation, it was certain that he would be suddenly attacked.
Because from the beginning, people have already begun to assassinate you.
Frowning, Gu Chen quickly asked the landlady: "What did he ask you about Uncle Zhang?"
"Just...just asked if that person was a policeman? I said yes, he is an experienced policeman here, and he is very popular."
"Then he asked some other questions about Officer Zhang."
"Have you asked Uncle Zhang about his recent situation?" After listening to the boss lady's answer, Lu Weiwei quickly asked.
The landlady nodded silently: "Yes, he asked some questions about Officer Zhang's daily life. I was speechless, so I told him that Officer Zhang's family has been traveling to the northwest during this period, and he is the only one at home."
"So, Officer Zhang likes to eat outside or in the cafeteria every day."
"Then……"
After thinking for a while, the landlady added: "Then, I talked to him about Officer Zhang's daily life and his relationship with our neighbors. Anyway, we talked about everything."
"As you know, in a small shop like ours, we usually do business with acquaintances. I think he is also new here, so it is easy to get started when we chat."
"I think everyone will get to know each other in the future, and then you will come to take care of the business a few more times, so I usually share everything I know, and that's it."
"But I never thought that this person would be harmful to Officer Zhang, really."
"Okay, I understand." Listening to the anxious reply from the landlady, Gu Chen could probably guess a thing or two.
In fact, it should be one of that person's plans to inquire about Zhang Jingde's situation with the proprietress of the breakfast shop.
Of course, if you want to know more about Zhang Jingde, then this suspect should have inquired about many stores that Zhang Jingde frequented, and would have chatted with many neighbors about Zhang Jingde's situation.
Gu Chen suddenly thought that his own grocery store was also a place Zhang Jingde often visited.
I wonder if my supermarket has also been visited by this suspect?
Thinking about this, Gu Chen also frowned, feeling that danger was around him.
"Junior brother Gu." Seeing Gu Chen's delay in responding, Lu Weiwei also pulled Gu Chen's arm and reminded him:
"What else did you think of?"
"Let's talk about this after we go out." Gu Chen didn't want to reveal it here, so he nodded to the landlady and said:
"Thank you, boss lady. If you find that stranger again in the store, remember not to alarm him first, and then call the police immediately."
"Understood." After receiving Gu Chen's prompt, the landlady nodded in confirmation.
Afterwards, Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei all the way back to the car, and then drove directly to his grocery store.
In the car, Lu Weiwei was also confused and quickly asked Gu Chen: "Junior Brother Gu, where should we go next?"
"My supermarket." Gu Chen said.
"Your supermarket? Why?" Lu Weiwei just finished speaking and seemed to think of something again? Then she said:
"Oh, I know, your grocery store is also a place Uncle Zhang often visits."
"If he is targeted, then this guy will definitely go to your supermarket and inquire about Uncle Zhang's situation, right?"
"Yes." Gu Chen answered resolutely, and then added: "If I hadn't guessed, this guy must have been to my grocery store, so I can't let this place go."
The two of them also communicated for a while in the car, and Gu Chen quickly parked the car outside his supermarket.
Since his parents were taking care of Zhang Jingde in the hospital, all the store clerks in the supermarket were watching.
Seeing Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei walking into the store, a middle-aged female clerk quickly asked Gu Chen: "Xiao Gu, I heard that Officer Zhang was seriously injured and hospitalized. Is it true?"
"Yeah." Since the clerk here is very familiar with Zhang Jingde, so while my parents were staying in the hospital, they also called to explain matters in the store.
Therefore, the entire grocery store now knows the news that Zhang Jingde was seriously injured and hospitalized.
The middle-aged female clerk also frowned slightly and said in disbelief: "Oh! Officer Zhang usually seems to be lively and lively, but suddenly he was hospitalized and seriously injured."
"I heard that I might not survive."
"No, Uncle Zhang will definitely be able to get through it." Gu Chen didn't want to hear such bad words, so he quickly refuted them while the middle-aged female clerk was speaking.
The middle-aged female clerk hurriedly said "bah" twice, and immediately corrected: "Yes, yes, officer Zhang is such a good person, he will definitely be able to get through it."
After thinking about it, the middle-aged female clerk looked at Gu Chen again and said with a puzzled face: "But, Xiao Gu, why did you come to the store suddenly? I'm watching in the store, it's okay."
"No, I'm here to investigate." As he spoke, Gu Chen came directly to the monitoring computer.
The middle-aged female clerk looked confused and quickly asked: "Xiao Gu, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
"Junior Brother Gu means that the murderer who assassinated Uncle Zhang has been investigating Uncle Zhang's whereabouts, so Junior Brother Gu suspects that the suspect may have also been in the store."
"After all, Uncle Zhang often comes to the store to shop."
Afraid that the female clerk might not understand clearly, Lu Weiwei quickly explained.
The middle-aged female clerk said "Oh" and then suddenly realized: "If you put it like that, I will understand."
"If that guy has been to the store, then the store's surveillance system will definitely be able to capture it."
The middle-aged female clerk here was still chatting, but on the other side, Gu Chen had already obtained relevant surveillance and began to use his master-level observation skills to quickly investigate the situation in the store.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After a while, Gu Chen found the suspect who had asked about Zhang Jingde at the breakfast shop.
Because the other person was wrapped tightly in the breakfast shop, it was difficult for the breakfast shop's surveillance camera to capture the person's face.
Therefore, Gu Chen placed his hope in his own store because the surveillance cameras in the store are widely distributed and numerous.
No matter from any angle, it can be accurately captured, and with Gu Chen's familiarity with these surveillance cameras, the operation is also very simple.
"Have you found it?" Lu Weiwei saw the corner of Gu Chen's mouth raised, as if she had already gotten the answer.
Gu Chen nodded slightly, looked at Lu Weiwei and said, "Actually, this guy deliberately avoided the surveillance cameras on the surface, but he didn't pay attention to the hidden cameras."
"Hidden camera?" Lu Weiwei seemed confused when she heard this.
The middle-aged female clerk hurriedly explained: "That is, some of the cameras hidden in the interior decoration of the supermarket, and some of the dolls in the supermarket are given by the supplier and manufacturer."
"The doll's eyes are actually hidden cameras. They are mainly used to monitor some blind spots to achieve full surveillance coverage."
"So that's it?" After hearing the middle-aged female clerk's explanation, Lu Weiwei nodded silently to express her understanding:
"That's it, I understand. Indeed, if this is the case, then it should not attract the suspect's attention. So, Junior Brother Gu, the angle you can capture here should be this hidden camera, right?"
"That's right." Gu Chen nodded silently, and then clicked on the relevant monitoring.
Lu Weiwei and the middle-aged female clerk quickly gathered around Gu Chen and watched the situation on the surveillance screen.
At this moment, the suspect was also wandering around the supermarket at will, and at this moment, Zhang Jingde was chatting with his father Gu Baichuan near the cashier.
At this time, the suspect was standing near the doll model, closely observing the direction of the cashier.
After a while, Zhang Jingde took a pack of cigarettes and knocked on the counter a few times before getting up and leaving.
Later, Gu Baichuan also followed Zhang Jingde out of the supermarket.
After Zhang Jingde left, Gu Baichuan stayed at the door, chatting with the surrounding neighbors.
At this time, the suspect bought some random things and went directly to the front desk to pay.
The person who received him was the middle-aged female salesperson in front of him.
Afterwards, the two began to chat.
Seeing this scene, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at the middle-aged female salesperson in unison.
"So it's him?" When the middle-aged female salesperson saw this scene, she suddenly realized:
"I know this person. He came to the supermarket to buy something, and then he chatted with me for a long time at the counter. Anyway, he finally asked me about Officer Zhang's situation."
"What are we talking about specifically?" Lu Weiwei was also very curious.
The middle-aged female clerk continued to explain: "Anyway, I just wandered here and there and talked about a lot of things. It happened to be that I was not busy at that time, so I had nothing to do anyway, so I chatted a little with him."
"At first, it was quite normal, but then he casually mentioned that the customer who just bought cigarettes was familiar with your boss?"
"I said that's an old friend of our boss's for many years. How can I not be familiar with him?"
"Then he said that Officer Zhang seemed to be quite popular."
"I just rambled here and there, and finally asked some indirect questions about Officer Zhang."
"Then what did you tell him?" After hearing this, Gu Chen also looked serious.
The middle-aged female clerk thought about it and said, "What else can I say? What did he ask me? I'll just say what I said."
"I remember that he also asked some questions at that time, such as does Officer Zhang come to our supermarket every day? If so, at what time specifically? Is it usually this time?"
"Anyway, at that time I also felt that this person was quite strange, being so interested in a strange policeman."
"Because he was an unfamiliar face and I had never seen him before, so I didn't talk too much with him."
After a pause, the middle-aged female clerk continued: "But I remember it very clearly. He asked me about when does Officer Zhang usually come to the store?"
"Then what did you say?" Gu Chen asked her.
The middle-aged female clerk replied: "I told him, it's usually noon, sometimes before eating, sometimes after eating, and the time is probably between 11 and 2 o'clock."
"That's all?" Gu Chen also raised his eyebrows after hearing the middle-aged female clerk's reply.
The middle-aged female clerk nodded silently: "That's all. After all, I already find it strange that he asks these things. Wouldn't it be even weirder if he asked more questions?"
"Anyway, a customer came over to check out later, so I left him alone. Then he left after paying himself."
Having said this, the middle-aged female clerk seemed to be thinking of something again? She quickly said:
"Oh, by the way, he paid in cash. Everyone paid with mobile phones, but he actually paid in cash. I thought it was quite strange at the time, so I was very impressed."
"It's normal." After hearing what the female clerk in his store said, Gu Chen took a deep breath and couldn't help but say:
"If you pay with a mobile phone, it will only expose him, so he will not be so stupid. It is safer to use cash."
After thinking for a while, Gu Chen said again: "By the way, is the cash he used still here?"
"Well……"
Hearing what Gu Chen said, the middle-aged female clerk also looked confused.
Gu Chen reminded: "Think about it again, after all, not many people use cash now. I saw from the surveillance that he should have paid a 20 yuan note and two one-yuan notes."
Coins, right?”
"Yes, the coins must have been lost, but the banknotes may still be in the store." Listening to Gu Chen's words, the middle-aged female clerk quickly opened the cashier and began to check the condition of the banknotes.
He muttered: "I remember that he and a few other elderly people used banknotes that day. Although the elderly also paid 20 yuan banknotes, they seemed to have more wrinkles."
"And the 20 yuan note he paid over there still feels brand new."
According to the middle-aged female clerk, Gu Chen also opened the cabinet under his cashier and began to look for the 20 yuan note based on the female clerk's narrative.
Not long after, Gu Chen found a banknote that matched the description of the female clerk, so he pointed to the inside of the drawer and asked, "Is this the one?"
"Not sure, after all, we have a few days." After her words fell, the middle-aged female clerk quickly added:
"Maybe? Anyway, that's all banknotes are for cash. Usually the elderly like to pay in cash, so this should be it..."
Looking at the cash in the cashier drawer, the middle-aged female clerk wanted to tell Gu Chen which one it was? So she reached out to get it.
But he was quickly interrupted by Gu Chen reaching out and reminding him: "Don't touch."
The female clerk looked confused, but soon he understood Gu Chen's intention.
Gu Chen pulled out a pair of white gloves from his body like a magic trick.
Gu Chen also reminded: "If I guessed correctly, the suspect's fingerprints should still be on the current 20-yuan note."
