In the office, Shangguan Wu was obviously embarrassed as he listened to Gu Chen unraveling the grievances between himself and Hu Zhe bit by bit.
This was undoubtedly exposing his scars, but Shangguan Wu had nothing to do now.
The focus of the police's investigation is their own debt collection clerk, and there is already a lot of evidence pointing to the red-haired man.
Shangguan Wu knew very well that he seemed to have lost the battle with the police.
Seeing that Shangguan Wu didn't say anything, Officer Wang on the side continued: "The red-haired man under your command seems to have been following Hu Zhe."
"If this is a personal grudge between the red-haired man and Vujicic, then it's okay to say that, but according to our investigation, we found that he has no conflicts or disputes with the red-haired man at all."
"As for this red-haired man, he went to trouble Vujicic over and over again. We can investigate all of this."
"But Hong Mao and Hu Zhe had no source of conflict at all before. The root cause still lies with you."
Seeing what Officer Wang said so clearly, Shangguan Wu subconsciously raised his head and stared at the people in front of him.
Officer Wang grinned and continued: "Don't look at us like that, we have done an investigation."
"After Vujicic compensated you 150,000 yuan, you did not let him go. Instead, you repeatedly asked your subordinates to harass Vujicic and sabotage the performances of Vujicic's band."
"These, members of Vujicic's band, can all come forward to testify, and this is also known to everyone."
"And this red-haired man seems to have become your Shangguan Wu's pawn, helping you charge into battle and causing trouble for Hu Zhe."
"So Hu Zhe is afraid of this red-haired man on the surface, but in fact, what he is afraid of is you behind the red-haired man's back. Shangguan Wu, you have never given up on your urge to kill Hu Zhe. I'm not telling you that.
Wrong?"
Listening to Officer Wang talking incessantly here, it seemed that his thoughts were drawn back to a few years ago, which made Shangguan Wu's face look a little ugly.
But after all, Shangguan Wu is not a vegetarian. He has been in this industry for many years and has seen many different characters and scenes.
Even if all situations are not good for him, Shangguan Wu can still deal with them calmly.
This is why he relies on this determination to become bigger and stronger in this industry.
"Haha." Facing Officer Wang's accountability, Shangguan Wu just laughed twice, picked up the tea cup leisurely, put it in his mouth, took a sip, and said calmly:
"Captain Wang, what you said is just one-sided and you have no conclusive evidence."
Lying on the sofa, Shangguan Wu this time crossed his legs and gestured with disdain:
"That's right, this red-haired guy has indeed helped me collect debts and received commissions from me."
"But I said that I have no direct contact with him, and there is not even an employment relationship between us."
"He is just some staff in my company department and some social personnel that I cooperate with."
"To put it simply, he just came here to help and earn some commission."
Looking up at Gu Chen, Shangguan Wu said again: "You said that this red-haired guy has been helping me stand up, but this is his personal behavior and has nothing to do with me, Shangguan Wu."
"They saw that I was wronged and couldn't bear it, so they were willing to help me out. I can't control this, and I don't want to."
"but……"
Having said this, Shangguan Wu raised his right index finger and emphasized again and again: "However, the grudge between me, Shangguan Wu and Hu Zhe will be wiped out once he pays the 150,000 yuan in compensation."
"I, Shangguan Wu, am a person who has a clear sense of grudges and grievances. I will not dwell on such trivial matters."
"You may call me despicable or shameless, but I have my own way of doing things."
"But if you slander me and say that the things the red-haired guy did were all my idea, Shangguan Wu, I will never agree to it."
After finishing his words, Shangguan Wu also assumed the retort posture of a TV drama boss. His strong tone of voice made the atmosphere on the scene suddenly become extremely tense.
When Lu Weiwei saw this, she also smiled calmly: "I said Mr. Shangguan Wu, we are also investigating now, what are you anxious about?"
Looking around, Lu Weiwei said again: "We didn't say that this red-haired man must be your instigator to follow Hu Zhe. We never said that at all."
"It's just that Hu Zhe's whereabouts are now unknown, and according to our investigation, he was probably murdered by this red-haired man."
"Moreover, the driver of a garbage truck can also testify that he indeed received 4,000 yuan in benefits."
"Now, we just want to find the red-haired man and ask the matter clearly, but you, Mr. Shangguan Wu, are so furious. Haha, I don't know, what are you anxious about?"
He was originally strong, but when he suddenly heard what Lu Weiwei said, Shangguan Wu felt that his force just hit a ball of cotton in an instant.
I felt that I couldn't defeat these policemen myself, but I still had to show off the temper that Shangguan Wu should have.
So Shangguan Wu crossed his arms, tilted his chin, and asked, "What do you want?"
"Tell us the whereabouts of the red-haired man." Yuan Shasha said.
"Impossible, I don't even know where he is." As soon as Yuan Shasha finished speaking, Shangguan Wu retorted directly.
Gu Chen raised his head and said, "How much do you know about the red-haired man?"
Before Shangguan Wu could speak, Gu Chen quickly said: "Don't say anything, you don't know anything."
"I……"
Hearing what Gu Chen said, Shangguan Wu suddenly felt in a dilemma.
If he does not cooperate with the police investigation, it is obvious that he is suspected of covering up the red-haired man.
The police itself has been investigating him, and Shangguan Wu is also very aware of his current situation.
And if the red-haired man's information is provided to the police, it seems that it will cause a devastating blow to his prestige.
The reason is very simple. There are many parasitic horses under his pawn shop, and there are even more people to do things for him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Everyone is counting on their reputation as Shangguan Wu, but if you tell the police about the red-haired man, you are telling everyone that you are betraying your brother.
How can I survive here in the future? Where is my face?
Therefore, it seemed that he would lose the move that Gu Chen made for him.
"How's it going? Mr. Shangguan Wu, haven't you made your decision yet?" Seeing that Shangguan Wu was still hesitating, Gu Chen continued to urge.
At this moment, Shangguan Wu's face turned blue, and he seemed to be very angry with Gu Chen.
I felt like I would spit out several liters of blood when dealing with these policemen.
After thinking about it, Shangguan Wu could only reluctantly accept it: "This red-haired man, nicknamed Ah Bao, went out into the society before graduating from junior high school. He has been in the society for many years and knows some people from all walks of life."
"I also thought that he was more reliable in doing things, so I gave him some debt collection business. He would help me with the work, and then get some commissions and commissions."
After a pause, Shangguan Wu continued: "But, there is no deep bond between me and him."
"He is such a playful person. I am afraid that he will cause trouble, so I have never allowed him to enter my company. You can check the personnel file of my pawn shop to find out this."
"Well, so what?" After listening to Shangguan Wu's explanation, Gu Chen continued to urge.
Shangguan Wu took a deep breath, then tilted his head and continued to add: "His general name is Zhang Quan. I don't know the rest."
"Very good." After listening to Shangguan Wu, he slowly began to reveal the red-haired man's personal information. Lu Weiwei also recorded this in the record and asked Shangguan Wu:
"Is it the 'spring' of spring water?"
"Yes." Shangguan Wu nodded.
Lu Weiwei quickly added: "Then what places does he usually go to? Can you provide some?"
"I don't know about this." Faced with Lu Weiwei's question, Shangguan Wu chose to refuse to answer this time.
Lu Weiwei raised her eyebrows and said with a faint smile: "What? Are you angry? Mr. Shangguan Wu, didn't you just keep saying that this Zhang Quan has nothing to do with you?"
"Since it doesn't matter, then why are you angry about this Zhang Quan? Wouldn't it be better if it has nothing to do with you?"
"Comrade police." Seeing that Lu Weiwei was a bit too bullying, Shangguan Wu also stared at Lu Weiwei with a straight face and said angrily:
"You must understand that Zhang Quan has done something for me, but if others know it, it will be me who discloses Zhang Quan's personal information to the police."
"Think about it, what will the people around me think of me? They will think that I betray my brothers."
"Then you know how to do it?" As soon as Shangguan Wu finished speaking, Gu Chen raised his head and asked him.
Shangguan Wu was speechless for a moment...
But Gu Chen then asked: "Then let me ask you, is Zhang Quan your brother?"
Listening to Gu Chen's question, Shangguan Wu clearly felt that this was a hole Gu Chen was digging for himself.
If not, then the police can act at their own pace.
But if you say yes, it is tantamount to admitting that you are deeply bound to this Zhang Quan.
In this way, one's own suspicion cannot be removed.
I feel like these police officers are really "insidious" and they are digging holes for themselves.
Seeing that Shangguan Wu stopped answering, Gu Chen said: "We hope you can make money legally, and we also hope you can abide by the law."
"Once someone does something that violates laws and regulations, I'm sorry, our police will never tolerate it."
"As for the information you provided about Zhang Quan, I wonder if it is true? Or if you provided us with false information, we will verify it one by one, and please make your own decision."
After the words fell and Shangguan Wu stopped talking, Gu Chen stood up and led everyone out of the pawn shop.
…
…
When they came downstairs, Gu Chen and others got into the car.
Lu Weiwei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, quickly asked Gu Chen: "Junior brother Gu, do you think this Shangguan Wu is really cooperating with our investigation?"
"Haha, how is that possible? Senior Sister Lu, you think too highly of Shangguan Wu." Seeing Lu Weiwei's question, Gu Chen also smiled lightly.
Officer Wang, who was sitting in the back row, also smiled and said: "So, Lu Weiwei is still too young. This Shangguan Wu is an old man."
"Gu Chen gave him a life and death situation. He could only choose one of the two. What did he call this? This is called..."
"This is called abandoning the car to save the handsome man." Before Officer Wang could finish speaking, Yuan Shasha on the side quickly added.
Officer Wang snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "That's right, I'm abandoning the car to save the commander."
"In this situation, our police have already found the door to his house. If he continues to protect this red-haired man named... named Zhang Quan, wouldn't that mean that he has confirmed his tied interests with Zhang Quan?"
"Isn't this tantamount to telling us that all Zhang Quan's actions were authorized by Shangguan Wu? This is not good for him personally."
"Indeed." After listening to Officer Wang's analysis, Gu Chen nodded slightly and said eloquently:
"This is the effect I want. Shangguan Wu is very cunning. If you want to arm-wrestle with him, you need a little wisdom."
"It's just that now, through clues and layers of investigation, we can basically prove that Hu Zhe's body may have been transported by a garbage truck."
"This at least shows that our investigation direction is correct."
"Moreover, from another perspective, it can be seen that the red-haired man has good water skills. He can at least swim across the river late at night."
"Now the focus of our investigation can be on this red-haired man."
Glancing at Yuan Shasha in the back row, before Gu Chen could speak, Yuan Shasha took the initiative to prompt: "I have sent the information about the red-haired man Zhang Quan to Senior Brother He, and he is now helping to investigate."
"Very good." Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly:
"Zhang Quan is Shangguan Wu's mazi, who does the dirty work for Shangguan Wu."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "So, he is unlikely to have the wisdom of Shangguan Wu, and he may be reckless when doing things, especially since he has not graduated from junior high school."
"For people like him who rely on debt collection to make a living, they are just relying on their own ruthlessness. Therefore, such people actually have their own circle."
"Since we can only get some basic information from Shangguanwu, it doesn't matter. We can investigate on our own based on this basic information."
"Then, the information obtained through our investigation was unified and said to be provided by Shangguan Wu."
"In this way, Shangguan Wu's reputation will inevitably be affected, and perhaps the other mazai who help him will also be in danger."
After a pause, Gu Chen looked at everyone, and then said: "When everyone starts to lose confidence in Shangguan Wu, Ma Zai, who helped him before, may be shaken in his heart."
"Maybe he will take the initiative to provide our police with some information about the whereabouts of red-haired Zhang Quan."
"That's right." After listening to Gu Chen's analysis, Lu Weiwei also agreed:
"We just want to use a stratagem to create a conflict between Shangguan Wu and Ma Tsai below, so that they don't trust each other."
"In this way, we can defeat them one by one and get more valuable clues."
After a pause, Lu Weiwei crossed her arms and said calmly: "I don't believe that these people can still be as strong as iron in the face of danger. I just have to defeat them one by one."
"Then what will Senior Brother Gu do? Start with the people around the red-haired man?" said Yuan Shasha, who was sitting in the back row.
Gu Chen nodded silently: "That's right, let's start with the red-haired Zhang Quan's residence."
At this moment, Gu Chen's cell phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that the caller was He Junchao, Gu Chen quickly opened the answer button: "Senior Brother He."
"Gu Chen, I have completed the task you just asked Xiao Yuan to send to me. I have sent the personal information of this red-haired man named Zhang Quan to the temporary work group."
"In addition, his family lives in the second phase of the Rose Community. It is a rental house. He is renting here temporarily, maybe sharing it with others."
"For the specific address, you can check the information in the group. In addition, I can't find Zhang Quan's whereabouts yet, but you may be able to find some clues by asking the residents in the second phase of Rose Community."
"Very good." After listening to He Junchao's report, Gu Chen said calmly:
"I'm going to Zhang Quan's residence now, and we'll keep in touch at any time."
"OK."
After a brief communication, the two hung up the phone.
Gu Chen did not dare to stop too much, so he quickly started the vehicle and started driving towards the second phase of Rose Community.
…
…
After 40 minutes' journey, Gu Chen parked the vehicle steadily at the gate of the second phase of Rose Community.
After getting off the car, Gu Chen took out his police ID card and quickly asked the guard: "Uncle, we are from Furong Branch. Is this person from your community?"
"Let me take a look." The doorman was a 70-year-old man. Seeing what Gu Chen said, he quickly took Gu Chen's cell phone and looked at it carefully.
Soon, the uncle nodded and admitted: "Yes, this person does live in our community. I often see him, following some people, riding a motorcycle out."
"So is he still living here recently?" Officer Wang on the side also asked.
The uncle shook his head: "I haven't paid much attention recently, but I must have never seen anyone. It should be... I haven't seen anyone for a few days, right?"
"Okay, thank you, sir." After receiving the guard's reply, Gu Chen knew even more clearly that Zhang Quan might have been hiding.
However, Gu Chen needs to investigate clearly the relationships between the people around Zhang Quan.
So they took Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to find Unit 3 of Building 12 directly according to the address given by He Junchao.
When everyone came to the door of Room 302, they also knocked on the door.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk, is there anyone? Tuk-tuk-tuk, is there anyone?"
Continuous knocking on the door seemed to get no response, which made everyone a little disappointed.
So Gu Chen looked at Room 301, which is opposite. There was a bag of garbage that had not been discarded at the door. It must have been occupied by someone.
So Gu Chen came to the door of Room 301 and knocked on the door: "Is anyone home?"
After knocking on the door several times, Gu Chen finally heard some movement from inside the house.
So I took a step back.
As the door clicked open, a fat middle-aged woman immediately raised her head and looked at Gu Chen.
"Who are you?" The middle-aged woman looked confused.
Gu Chen quickly took out his police card and introduced, "We are from the Furong Branch. We are here to find the residents opposite you and learn more about the situation."
"But it seems that the person who lives across from you is not at home?"
"Oh, is that so?" Seeing that Gu Chen and the others were policemen, the fat middle-aged woman quickly replied: "I haven't heard anything from next door for a few days."
"How many people live across from you?" Lu Weiwei took a step forward and asked quickly.
The middle-aged woman grinned: "I guess it's just one person, right? But usually a group of people come over to eat, drink, etc."
"I feel like they are all friends of that person. Sometimes they stay at home for dinner late at night and talk loudly, which is a bit disturbing to the people."
"Is he this person?" Officer Wang took out his cell phone and showed Zhang Quan's photo.
The fat middle-aged woman squinted her eyes, nodded immediately and confirmed, "Yes, it's this person. His hair is dyed a little red."
"Does he usually ride a motorcycle when he goes out?" Yuan Shasha asked again.
The fat middle-aged woman squinted her eyes and thought. After a brief pause, she slowly said: "Yes, it seems that he is riding a motorcycle, but that motorcycle does not seem to be his own."
"It's not his own? How do you say this?" Lu Weiwei didn't understand, so she quickly asked.
The fat middle-aged woman also patiently explained: "I'm not sure myself, but I often see the red-haired guy on the balcony coming back on a motorcycle."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Sometimes, I will also see other people coming on motorcycles."
"I just feel like this motorcycle should be a common motorcycle for this group of people. Anyone can ride it, but who does it belong to? I'm not sure."
"Motorcycle?" Thinking of this motorcycle, it may be the key to investigating the case.
Gu Chen quickly reminded the middle-aged woman: "Then you know, what brand is his motorcycle? When did it last appear in your memory?"
"What brand is it?" Facing Gu Chen's question, the middle-aged fat woman looked a little confused, shook her head, and said apologetically:
"Sorry, comrade police, I don't know much about the brands of these motorcycles. They seem quite trendy."
"As for the last time I saw that motorcycle, it must have been the night five days ago, right? Yes, it was the night five days ago."
"About what time?" Lu Weiwei also asked quickly.
"About what time? It was probably around 6 pm. I remember that at that time, I had just finished dinner and was about to go out, and I met him riding that motorcycle out at the gate of the community."
"Five days ago, 6 o'clock in the evening." Gu Chen repeated the information and asked with confirmation: "Are you sure that there is no problem with the time?"
"It should be no problem. I see that man often, but I just don't interact with him that much."
"Because he often brings some people to the house to make noise, which greatly affects my rest. Therefore, I don't like these people very much and rarely talk to them."
"Sometimes when we meet in the community, I pretend not to see him or know him."
"However, I am sure that I saw him riding a bicycle at the gate of the community at 6 o'clock in the evening five days ago. This is unmistakable."
"Very good." Seeing that the middle-aged fat woman gave the key information, Gu Chen remembered it in his heart and then asked again:
"So these days, this man never shows up at home again?"
"No." The fat middle-aged woman shook her head and replied affirmatively:
"I haven't been at home these days, otherwise I would definitely not be at peace. He is always noisy and gives me a headache, you know?"
"Okay, thank you very much for your cooperation." Gu Chen recorded these things and asked casually:
"I heard that the red-haired man across from you rents this house?"
"Yes." The fat middle-aged woman nodded in agreement.
"Then do you know who the landlord is? We want a key, let's go in and check." Gu Chen said.
The middle-aged fat woman pondered briefly for a few seconds, then slowly said: "I don't know much about this. I have met the landlord once. He collected the rent directly after buying the house."
"However, you can go to the doorman and check the landlord's information based on the resident's house number. He has records there."
"Okay, thank you very much." After getting the information he wanted, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Feeling that everything that needed to be investigated had been investigated, after a brief exchange with the fat middle-aged woman, Gu Chen closed the door of the other party's room with his own hands.
Looking back, Lu Weiwei had already sent the specific situation here to He Junchao, then she looked up at Gu Chen and said with a smile:
"I have asked He Junchao to check the entry and exit of the second phase of Rose Community five days ago at 6pm."
"Very good." Gu Chen nodded slightly and continued:
"Now we need to go to the doorman to find the landlord's information, contact the landlord, and find a way to get the key and come over to open the door. We hope to find some key clues in the room."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry back to the gate." Officer Wang said.
…
…
Back at the gate of the second phase of Rose Community, after communicating with the guard, the guard also took out a bunch of keys, found one of them, opened an iron cabinet, and found a folder inside.
After slowly opening it, the guard also started searching at a snail's pace.
But how could Lu Weiwei wait at this speed? Dang even quickly found the house number, pointed to the contact information and said, "This is it."
"Is that correct?" the guard asked cautiously.
"It's unmistakable." Lu Weiwei said as she started to dial the mobile phone number left on the list:
After a while, the call was connected, and a young woman's voice came from the other party: "Hello, who is this?"
"You are...Ms. Hu Yumei, right?" Lu Weiwei asked for the other party's name based on the contact information.
"That's my mother, I'm her daughter, what's wrong?" After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, the woman on the other end of the phone also asked curiously.
"Oh, that's it." After hearing that the other party turned out to be the landlord's daughter, Lu Weiwei quickly explained the reason and said: "Is your house in the second phase of Rose Community rented to a man named Zhang Quan?"
"Zhang Quan? Rose Community Phase 2?" Listening to the information given by Lu Weiwei, the other party didn't seem to know very well.
But soon, Lu Weiwei heard this young woman communicating with another middle-aged woman on the phone.
Not long after, the young woman hurriedly said: "The house in the second phase of Rose Community seems to be rented to a man named Zhang Quan."
"Haha." After hearing what the other party said, Lu Weiwei forced a smile and said, "Don't you guys know the tenant's name too?"
"Uh..." There was also a brief moment of embarrassment on the other end of the phone, and then the woman's response came again:
"It's like this. My family has more than one house, distributed in various areas of Jiangnan City. Therefore, I couldn't figure out for a while what the tenant's name is?"
"But my mother had the tenant's contact information on her phone, so she checked it out and confirmed that the second phase of Rose Community is rented to a man named Zhang Quan."
"Oh, so that's it?" After receiving the other party's confirmation, Lu Weiwei was relieved and then said:
"It's like this. We are investigating a case here, and this case involves a suspect, your tenant here, Zhang Quan."
"And now, right here in the second phase of Rose Community, we have also been to your house and found no one inside."
"But, this case is very likely to involve a murder case, so we want you to come over and open the door with the key. After all, this man named Zhang Quan has been missing for several days, so...
"
Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, the young woman on the other end of the phone seemed to be shocked.
Before Lu Weiwei could finish her words, she quickly asked: "You mean, the tenant of our house may be involved in a murder case?"
"Uh... although but, that's probably what I mean." Feeling that she had made it clear enough, Lu Weiwei also echoed.
"How could this happen?" As if being stimulated, the young woman's mood suddenly became tense.
Through the phone, Lu Weiwei could vaguely hear some of the exchanges between the woman and her mother.
After a long time, the other party still did not give a clear answer. Lu Weiwei couldn't wait any longer, so she quickly urged on the phone:
"Hello? Are you listening? Hello?"
"Oh, I'm listening, I'm listening." Although she replied to Lu Weiwei, Lu Weiwei could clearly hear the panic of the young woman at this moment.
So Lu Weiwei quickly comforted her and said: "Don't worry, we are also investigating and need you to come and cooperate."
"The main thing is to check the residence of Zhang Quan and see if there are any clues about his accommodation that are related to our investigation of the case."
"But we can't contact Zhang Quan at all now, so we hope that you, the landlord, can come over and make it convenient for us."
"No problem, I'll be right over." Listening to Lu Weiwei's emotional expression, the young woman on the phone apparently began to feel calmer.
After a brief hesitation, the woman on the phone said: "You are still there, right?"
"That's right." Lu Weiwei agreed.
"Okay, I'll come over now. Just wait for me at the door of my house. I'll come with the key."
"Thank you then." After hearing the other party's answer, Lu Weiwei finally breathed a sigh of relief before hanging up the phone.
"What do you say?" Officer Wang quickly came over and asked.
Lu Weiwei shrugged: "The person who answered the phone was the landlord's daughter. It seems that their family has more than one house for rent. Now the landlord's daughter is preparing to come over and asked us to wait in front of her house."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go there quickly." Yuan Shasha also urged.
After thanking the doorman, everyone returned to the door of the room.
It was about half an hour later that everyone heard hurried footsteps, slowly walking upstairs.
