In the interrogation room, Liu Fagen's confession was basically consistent with the investigation by Gu Chen's team.
Liu Fagen first asked his nephew to transport the pickles to the vicinity of his rental house. After confirming that the quantity was correct, he then transported the entire truckload of pickles to the outside of the vegetable market in Yuhua Logistics Park based on the address provided by his previous boss.
In this way, it meets the conditions required in the previous investigation.
Since that window is a blind spot for surveillance, no one knows what happened there.
But the person who transported the goods was not the vegetable seller Liu Fagen, but his nephew.
Since the tricycle was parked outside the vegetable market in the logistics park all night, in order to find out the specific situation, it was necessary to call the nephew of the vegetable seller Liu Fagen over to verify the specific situation.
"Uncle Liu." Gu Chen turned the pen with his right hand and looked at Liu Fagen and said, "Did your nephew contact you that night?"
"Yes." Faced with Gu Chen's question, Liu Fagen answered quite readily and immediately replied:
"I asked my nephew if the goods had been delivered? He said it had been delivered."
"I asked him again, did he give you the rest of the money? He said that he gave the money on the spot. When I heard that, wasn't it okay? I didn't care about it after that."
"After all, it was my nephew who delivered the goods. Later, when I returned to the village, my nephew transferred the money to me in the corresponding amount."
"I also paid my nephew an errand fee, and that's what happened."
Listening to Liu Fagen's explanation, Gu Chen frowned slightly and asked again:
"Then did your nephew tell you the details of his transaction?"
"No." Liu Fagen shook his head: "Why should I care about this? If people want pickles, I just sell them to them. Once the goods are delivered, it's over."
"As for other things, I don't want to know about them, and I don't dare to be interested in them."
"So your nephew didn't say anything to you after he came back?" Lu Weiwei felt that Uncle Liu's nephew seemed a little suspicious.
But Liu Fagen said righteously: "No, what's there to say?"
"Okay." Seeing this, Lu Weiwei quickly asked: "Then can you contact your nephew?"
"Okay." Liu Fagen nodded.
Lu Weiwei hesitated for a few seconds, then quickly added: "Then you make a call and ask where your nephew is now? But don't tell him, you are in our branch now."
"Uh..." Feeling a little confused, Liu Fagen also asked curiously: "Comrade police, why is this?"
"We want to go find your nephew to understand the situation, because we feel that the customer who came in contact with your nephew may have a case against him."
"Your nephew doesn't know the specific situation. We are afraid of leaks, so we want to confirm the specific location of your nephew. We will go over and question him." Officer Wang also explained the serious relationship here to Liu Fagen in detail.
Liu Fagen also knew that the police could take him to the branch interrogation room to prove that this matter might really involve a certain case.
Thinking that he couldn't be neglectful, he nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, I'll ask for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the uncle took out his cell phone and started looking for his nephew's phone number.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other. Lu Weiwei understood and immediately stood up and came to Liu Fagen's side, paying close attention to Liu Fagen's phone calls.
Not long after, Liu Fagen's call came through: "Hello? Nephew, where are you? At home? Playing cards again? Hey, I'm telling you, don't play cards with those people in the future. You can't beat them. These people are veterans.
"
After a pause, Liu Fagen said again: "What? Won? Some win and some lose, but nine times out of ten you lose, it's not easy to make some money, huh."
Looking up at Lu Weiwei beside him, Liu Fagen continued to talk to his nephew on the phone: "I'm fine, I just want to ask if there are any pickles at home? There is a new customer today who wants some, but the quantity has not been determined yet."
"I said I wanted to see the quality of the pickles first. I seem to be the hotel's buyer. Yes, don't cut corners on the pickles at home. Yes, well, that's fine. Okay, stop playing tricks..."
Before Liu Fagen could finish speaking, his nephew had already hung up the phone.
Liu Fagen looked at his cell phone and couldn't help but mutter: "This guy hangs up the phone even after saying a few words to him."
"How is it? Is he at home now?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"Yes, in Beishan Town, over there in Hujia Village, we should be playing cards at home." Liu Fagen said.
"What's your nephew's name?" asked Yuan Shasha, who was in charge of recording.
"His name is Hu Jianbin." The uncle said again.
"What are the specific appearance and characteristics?" Since there was no specific information about Hu Jianbin, Yuan Shasha continued to ask.
"Specific appearance and characteristics?" Liu Fagen scratched his cheek and thought for a few seconds before he finally said:
"Anyway, he is a bit fat and has short hair. In Hujia Village, his name is Hu Jianbin. You can go and ask and you will find out."
"Okay." Seeing that Liu Fagen had explained everything clearly, Gu Chen reminded him kindly:
"Since we need to go to your nephew to understand the situation first, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, we will keep your mobile phone for you for the time being."
"In addition, I would also like to ask you to stay at our Furong branch first. We will pay for dinner. After we inquire about the situation, we will personally send you home and help you pay for the food. Do you think so?"
"
Seeing that Gu Chen's arrangements were quite reasonable, he thought about the police investigation of the case to prevent him from contacting the outside world privately and causing unnecessary misunderstandings.
After Liu Fagen thought for a few seconds, he readily agreed: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Very good." After finishing his words, Gu Chen took out his cell phone and dialed Wu Xiaofeng's number.
On the phone, Wu Xiaofeng was asked to take Liu Fagen and stay temporarily in the criminal investigation team's office, actually just watching him.
By the way, help him solve the dinner problem.
And he needs to take his team members and set off for Beishan Town and Hujia Village.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Since the journey takes 1 hour and 10 minutes, everyone eats simple French bread to satisfy their hunger problem on the way.
"Junior Brother Gu, if you are hungry, let me drive the car. You can sit in the passenger seat and have something to eat?" Lu Weiwei said.
Gu Chen smiled slightly: "No need, Senior Sister Lu. It's important to be in a hurry. I'm not hungry now. It won't be too late to eat after the mission is over."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Seeing that Gu Chen insisted on his own opinion, Lu Weiwei didn't dare to force it.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, we were already far away from the city.
There are only a few street lights on the suburban roads, but the navigation system shows that we will reach our destination in 10 minutes.
Lu Weiwei looked at the dim prototype of the mountains in the distance and couldn't help but sigh: "This is my first time coming to Beishan Town. I heard that an outdoor cross-country running event will be held here soon."
"That's right." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Yuan Shasha in the back row also echoed:
"I heard that it is still in the registration stage, and many outdoor hiking experts will sign up to participate."
Looking at the prototype of the mountains in the distance, Yuan Shasha couldn't help but sigh: "I really want to participate. I feel that outdoor cross-country running should be quite interesting."
"But we don't have that time." Officer Wang was eating French bread and talking eloquently:
"Actually, when I first joined the police force, I also participated in an outdoor cross-country run."
"You?" Upon hearing that Officer Wang had also participated in such a master-level outdoor cross-country running, Lu Weiwei suddenly became interested and quickly asked Officer Wang:
"Old Wang, why haven't I heard of it?"
"Tsk!" Faced with Lu Weiwei's questioning, Officer Wang also said "tsk" and said angrily:
"Lu Weiwei, I can't possibly tell you all the times I wet the bed when I was a child, right?"
"I'm not interested in knowing how many times you wet the bed." Lu Weiwei turned around and said.
Officer Wang chuckled: "That's it, isn't it? Speaking of that cross-country race, it was still my highlight moment, because I participated on behalf of the Jiangnan City Police Unit."
"Oh?" After hearing what Officer Wang said, Yuan Shasha was quite curious and quickly asked:
"Senior Brother Wang, are you participating on behalf of the police force? You should be very powerful to participate, right?"
"Isn't that right?" Seeing Yuan Shasha looking at him with admiration, Officer Wang immediately assumed the posture of a boss and said eloquently:
"You are going to participate in the Beishan cross-country race. First, you must participate in the Beishan hiking and mountain climbing activities."
"Beishan hiking and mountaineering activities?" Yuan Shasha was a little confused and asked Officer Wang:
"Is there such an event?"
"Yes, of course." Seeing that Yuan Shasha might not be clear about what happened back then, Officer Wang also continued:
"Actually, I did pretty well in the first few years when I joined the police force."
"Didn't some of the city leaders at that time, in particular, like to climb mountains? So it sparked a mountain climbing craze among the people in the city."
"At that time, hiking Beishan was also a popular sport in Jiangnan City."
"So, our Jiangnan City Police Force has to jump on the bandwagon, right? We organized every unit to participate in hiking activities."
“It’s also about communicating and learning with friends from other units to enhance friendship.”
"Also, it was quite interesting at that time, because all major units of our Jiangnan City Police Force participated one after another, and various media reported it."
"Soon, our Jiangnan City Police Force's mountain climbing team became top-notch."
"Many tourists who participated in hiking and mountain climbing said on social media that our mountain climbing team of Jiangnan City Police Force is responsible for their appearance."
After a pause, Officer Wang also lay back on his seat, recalling his feelings back then.
"What happened next?" Lu Weiwei said.
"Later?" After hesitating for a moment, Officer Wang tried to think back and continued:
"Later on, many netizens wanted to choose a husband online, so they said that you single police officers and married police officers should all separate teams so that everyone can choose a husband more easily."
"Then the leaders of our municipal bureau quickly complied with the requests of netizens and said, of course there is no problem. Those who are married will wear hats, and those who are not married will not wear hats."
"In this way, they can be distinguished quickly."
"So, whenever our team from the police department went to climb mountains as a team, many citizens would rush to take photos and check in with us."
"Especially the young men in the police force who don't wear hats, they are the ones that female netizens rush to take photos with."
After the words fell, Officer Wang also smiled and said: "That time, it felt quite interesting."
"In addition, I, Lao Wang, was responsible for physical strength at that time. I took the lead and left the team far behind."
"So, in the end, I climbed to the highest peak of Beishan with the first place in our team."
"It is for this reason that Director Zhao asked me to take part in this Beishan hiking cross-country race on behalf of my unit."
"Then what's the difference between these two events? Aren't they both hiking and climbing mountains?" Lu Weiwei expressed confusion, feeling that she had never participated in such an event.
Gu Chen, who was driving, smiled slightly and quickly explained: "Of course there is a difference."
"Oh?" Lu Weiwei's expression was stunned, and she quickly looked at Gu Chen and said:
"Junior Brother Gu, do you know? Then tell me."
"Hmm." Gu Chen simply said "Hmm" and then explained to everyone:
"Actually, Senior Brother Wang's first hike to the top of Beishan Mountain was from the foot of the mountain, along the stone steps, to the top of the mountain."
"Yes." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Officer Wang nodded in agreement: "From the foot of the mountain, climb all the way along the stone steps to the top of the mountain."
"Although it's just climbing stairs, it's quite difficult because the slope is too steep in some places."
"Okay." After listening to Officer Wang's explanation, Lu Weiwei turned and asked Gu Chen again:
“What about this hiking trail?”
"The cross-country hiking competition starts from the foot of the mountain, climbs to the top, and continues to climb along the ridgeline until it crosses the entire ridgeline, then descends the mountain from the other side and runs to the finish line."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That's right." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Officer Wang continued to explain: "That's what Gu Chen said, which is to walk on the ridgeline.
"
"Anyway, the journey is several times more difficult than climbing directly from the foot of the mountain to the top."
"How far is it?" Yuan Shasha had never participated in such an event, so she was very curious.
Officer Wang looked proud and said: "It's not long, only about 50 kilometers."
"50 kilometers? Over the ridgeline?" Yuan Shasha was still shocked when she heard this number.
But the more surprised Yuan Shasha was, the prouder Officer Wang became. He also waved his hand and said involuntarily:
"Xiao Yuan, you don't have to be so surprised. In fact, to me, it was just trivial."
"I can run to the finish line easily and be ranked in the top 30 of the entire team."
"Top 30?" Lu Weiwei was shocked when she heard what Comrade Lao Wang said, and hurriedly asked Officer Wang:
"Lao Wang, how many people are participating in this cross-country race?"
"Uh..." Officer Wang hesitated for a few seconds, and then pretended to recall: "It seems... there were only more than 1,000 people participating, right?"
"More than 1,000 people participated in the cross-country race? You finished in the top 30?" Lu Weiwei was also shocked by Comrade Lao Wang's results, and said in disbelief:
"Old Wang, it's okay."
"Haha, it's not a big deal." Officer Wang was also very proud and quickly said:
"The main thing is that many of the athletes who signed up at that time were amateurs, or they had only climbed mountains a few times and wanted to participate in this kind of high-intensity cross-country race."
"So, most people still focus on participation in essence, but I am different. Among the people in our police force, I am the first in mountain climbing."
"Competing with these people in cross-country events is a reduction in dimensionality. I ranked in the top 30, but it was because I was enjoying the scenery along the way that I forgot about the ranking."
"Otherwise, with my peak physical strength back then, it would be easy to win the championship."
"Hey, I compliment you a few times, but you're still out of breath." As soon as Comrade Lao Wang said this, Lu Weiwei knew that there must be a lot of water in it.
After all, when Comrade Lao Wang participated in the cross-country race, he didn’t know the specific situation. Wasn’t it up to Comrade Lao Wang’s own mission?
Just when everyone was chatting and laughing, Gu Chen reminded him: "Hujiacun has arrived."
"Ah?" Lu Weiwei glanced out the window and said quickly: "There seems to be a parking lot over there at the ancestral hall."
"I saw it." Gu Chen had already seen that location, drove the vehicle over, and parked steadily in an open space.
After getting off the bus, everyone immediately started looking for local villagers and asked about Hu Jianbin's specific location.
An old lady was carrying a bamboo basket and walking towards the house from a small river.
There were some vegetables in the bamboo basket. When she saw Gu Chen and others walking towards her, the old lady stopped and used the light of the solar street lights in the village to check their appearance.
"Hello grandma, do you know Hu Jianbin?" Lu Weiwei also took the lead to walk up to the old lady and asked quickly.
"Hu Jianbin? We know him." The old lady nodded in agreement.
Lu Weiwei quickly asked: "Then do you know where he is now?"
"Now?" The old lady looked around, then pointed to a building and said:
"Maybe he's playing cards over there? He basically plays cards over there at this time every day."
"Thank you, grandma." After learning the direction from the old lady, Lu Weiwei hurriedly came to Gu Chen and reminded:
"Right over there."
"Let's go and take a look." Gu Chen said.
Everyone didn't pause at all and walked quickly towards the building in front of them.
As soon as I walked to the door of the building, I heard a "pop, pop, pop," sign-throwing sound coming from the living room.
The people playing cards inside were very noisy and energetic.
Gu Chen and others came to the door, but none of them seemed to notice, still immersed in their own joy.
"Who among you is Hu Jianbin?" Gu Chen asked directly.
"Pah!" A fat man with short hair threw out a card in his hand: "An A."
He turned to look at Gu Chen and said, "That's me. Are you looking for me?"
"Can you please come out with me?" Gu Chen said.
"We are playing cards, we have something to talk about." Hu Jianbin didn't seem to want to cooperate with Gu Chen, and directly started to throw away the cards in his hand.
Gu Chen didn't get used to him. Seeing that several people were still immersed in playing cards on the card table, he took out his police ID card, opened it, and gently threw it on the card table.
When Gu Chen's police card happened to land on everyone's cards, everyone was stunned for a moment, then looked down and realized what was happening.
Hu Jianbin stared blankly at Gu Chen, who was walking towards him, with a confused look on his face.
Gu Chen smiled and said: "I have this card, can you please go out and have a chat?"
"Well……"
Hu Jianbin panicked at this moment and quickly explained to Gu Chen: "Comrade police, we are just having fun, there is no gambling, really."
"I don't care about this." Gu Chen put away the police card on the table and then said:
"I'm here to see you and want to talk to you."
"Ah?" I still didn't quite understand. Hu Jianbin scratched his cheek and said with a puzzled look on his face:
"But, what are you looking for me for?"
"You'll know when you get out. I'll give you 10 seconds." After the words fell, Gu Chen walked directly towards the door.
When Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha saw this, they all followed Gu Chen and walked towards the vehicle together.
In less than 8 seconds, Hu Jianbin stumbled out of the living room and followed Gu Chen and others directly to the vehicle.
Officer Wang opened the rear door and reminded, "Go in."
"Ah?" Hu Jianbin, who felt a little scared, hesitated for a few seconds and stood beside the vehicle without daring to take a step.
Officer Wang also frowned and continued to remind:
"I just want you to get in the car and ask me a question in the car."
"Oh." Feeling that it meant that, Hu Jianbin took a deep breath before getting into the vehicle.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha sat directly in the back row by the window.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were sitting in the front row.
After Lu Weiwei adjusted the position of the law enforcement recorder, the camera focused on Hu Jianbin.
At this moment, Hu Jianbin was also a little nervous. He couldn't help but scratch his cheek and begged: "Comrade police, can you open the window? I... I'm a little hot."
Yuan Shasha didn't say anything, but lowered her car window by a third.
"But... that's all right." Seeing that the police had already met his request, Hu Jianbin didn't want to ask for anything more.
He turned to look at Gu Chen, who was sitting in the driver's seat, and asked hurriedly: "Comrade police, I don't know, you came to see me, what's the matter?"
"Do you know this person?" Gu Chen took out his phone and showed the photo of Zou Yuhua in front of Hu Jianbin.
Hu Jianbin narrowed his eyes and hesitated.
So Lu Weiwei turned on the roof lights and continued: "Look carefully."
"I don't know." Hu Jianbin shook his head and denied.
Gu Chen took his phone back, then opened another photo of Hu Zhe, showed it in front of the other person and said:
"What about this guy?"
"this person……"
When he saw Hu Zhe's photo, Hu Jianbin narrowed his eyes, and after thinking briefly for a few seconds, he slowly said: "It looks familiar, and I feel like I have seen it before, but I have no impression."
"Then if I tell you that this person is at the wet market in Yuhua Logistics Park, you should have some impression, right?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Oh." As if being reminded by Gu Chen, Hu Jianbin's eyes lit up and he said quickly:
"Yes, I seem to remember such a person. Yes, he seems to be a vendor at the vegetable market in Yuhua Logistics Park, right? I seem to have delivered goods to him."
"Are you sending pickles?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"How do you know?" Hu Jianbin was also startled by Lu Weiwei's words, and Hu Jianbin was stunned.
But when Hu Jianbin came back to his senses and reacted, he suddenly realized and asked quickly:
"Oh, have you ever gone to see my uncle?"
"We looked for it. It was your uncle who told us your location." Officer Wang also said casually.
"But, I didn't commit any crime?" Hu Jianbin still couldn't understand why the police found him.
Yuan Shasha took a deep breath and said slowly: "To put it simply, the customer who ordered pickles from your uncle that day may be involved in a case."
"That's why we asked your uncle about some relevant information."
"But you were the one who went to deliver the goods that day, and according to our investigation, you rode a tricycle there that day, right?"
"Yes." Feeling that the police investigated very carefully, Hu Jianbin quickly replied:
"I did ride a tricycle there that day because my uncle called me and told me that someone wanted several hundred kilograms of pickles. He asked me to pack the pickles and transport them there on a tricycle."
"Can you tell me the specifics of what happened that day?" Officer Wang, who was sitting next to him, also raised his eyebrows.
"Yes...it's okay." Hu Jianbin did not dare to neglect at this moment, and quickly replied: "I remember that that day I first prepared pickles, and then rode a tricycle to deliver them to my uncle."
"After my uncle counted the quantity, he asked me to take me to the wet market in Yuhua Logistics Park. But he didn't send me to the wet market. He asked me to take me to the small road next to the left side of the wet market, which is along the
Take the path outside the market, the one on the left, and keep going straight ahead."
"He said he saw a window with iron bars and stopped there, waiting for news."
"Then how did you do it?" Gu Chen asked.
"Me? Of course I obeyed and did as I was told." Hu Jianbin was a little nervous when he spoke, but he still told Gu Chen what he knew about the situation:
"I remember that it was dark when I delivered the goods. Although the market was still open, the merchants inside seemed to have closed their doors and gone home."
"I just remember that inside the market, only a small part of the lights are still on, but there are some street lights outside, not many, but the place where I deliver goods feels quite weird."
"What's weird?" Lu Weiwei asked quickly after hearing this.
Hu Jianbin scratched the back of his head and thought about it and said: "I can't say what's weird about it, but, people always send the goods directly to the market, but that customer asked for the goods to be sent outside the market."
"I drove the tricycle along the path until I got to the window, and then I discovered that the window was actually quite small. It also had anti-theft steel bars, but no glass."
"I was a little confused at the time. I felt like my uncle had remembered the wrong place. Just when I was about to call and ask about the situation, I heard someone questioning me from inside the window, but I was shocked."
After saying this, Hu Jianbin couldn't help but pat his chest, as if the situation at that time was still vivid in his mind.
Gu Chen continued to ask: "What happened next?"
"Later?" Hu Jianbin took a deep breath and said thoughtfully:
"Later I discovered that there was no light at all inside that window. It was dark and quite scary."
"Moreover, I was outside the market. Outside the market was a wasteland. Before I came here, it was a wasteland with weeds everywhere. I was in a corner."
"So, it's inevitable to be a little scared. The key is that there are no street lights around."
"Then, I heard someone calling me from inside the dark window. Who wouldn't be afraid?"
"Ahem." After hearing what Hu Jianbin said, Officer Wang couldn't help but cough twice and continued to ask:
"Then what happened? How did you deal with the other party?"
"Later?" After thinking about it for a few seconds, Hu Jianbin slowly said:
"Later I remembered because I heard my uncle say that if I deliver the goods to that window, someone will take care of me."
"I didn't think too much about it at the time, so I just did it, and that's what happened next."
"I found that there seemed to be a person standing inside the dark window, just waiting for me to appear."
"I stopped the car, walked to the window and asked him who he was?"
"Then what did he say?" Officer Wang asked.
Hu Jianbin replied: "He said he ordered the pickles and asked me to bring them to him directly through the gap in the anti-theft iron fence."
"Why did you give it to him through the gap in the iron fence? Don't you know how to go through the market?" Yuan Shasha also asked questions.
But Hu Jianbin spoke eloquently: "I asked him the same thing at the time? I said, isn't it okay to go inside the market? It feels more convenient."
"But he told me that his warehouse is in the corner here. Walking from the market requires moving things a certain distance, which is actually more laborious."
"He said it would be easier for him to transport things through the crack in the window."
"I felt a little confused at the time, but the money was generous."
"I told him at the time that you only paid the deposit and there was still a balance left to pay. I verified the balance with him and he gave me cash directly on the spot and paid me a shipping fee."
After saying this, Hu Jianbin couldn't help but smile, and then said:
"I felt at the time that this man was quite kind. At least it wasn't hard to earn his money."
"Originally, he wanted so many pickles, and we could deliver them to his door for free, because the price of the pickles includes my shipping fee."
"But he asked me to help him pass the pickles through the gap in the window bars, and then gave me another transportation fee, or in other words, it was the transportation fee for getting off the car."
"Anyway, they just gave me an extra amount of money, but this money was not included in the price informed by my uncle."
Looking up at the crowd, Hu Jianbin was also embarrassed and said: "So, I took the extra money he gave me and didn't tell my uncle."
"After all, this is also my hard-earned money."
"I don't need to know this now, I just want to know, have you seen this person's face clearly?" Gu Chen also continued to ask.
Hu Jianbin nodded silently: "I couldn't see my face clearly, after all, there was no light inside the window."
"When he received the goods, he didn't use lights. He just put the pickles back on the things he had prepared."
"It was when I was leaving to get cash that I saw his face through the light of my mobile phone, which is the person in the picture on your mobile phone."
