Lu Weiwei was overjoyed when she discovered that the structure of the villa was unique. She felt that Zou Yuhua's backhand was nothing more than the inner compartment of the room.
To say that this craft is really secretive, even if everyone searched inside the bedroom for a long time, they still could not find the source of the problem.
But now, through external analysis, we can quickly judge the structural position of the windows to determine the flaws in the structure.
"Junior Brother Gu, I am really yours, and you can discover this." Lu Weiwei's joy now is beyond words.
Gu Chen also smiled slightly and said, "Don't say anything, let's go over and take a look now."
"Yeah." Lu Weiwei didn't care too much and started walking towards the door of the villa.
Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, who were waiting at the door, also saw Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei walking in hurriedly. Officer Wang quickly stopped Gu Chen and said:
"Gu Chen, what are you doing in here now? The police dog search is not over yet."
"I found something." Before Gu Chen could say anything, Lu Weiwei quickly reminded:
"Junior brother Gu and I discovered that there are compartments inside this villa."
"Partition?" After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Yuan Shasha also became interested and quickly asked: "Where is it?"
"Well, it might be in Zou Yuhua's bedroom, or it might be next door to him." Lu Weiwei doesn't know yet, where is the entrance to the compartment? She can only give a rough idea.
Officer Wang was stunned: "How did you find out?"
"Oh, it's a long story. In short, Junior Brother Gu and I always felt that there was something wrong with the windows while standing outside looking at the structure of the villa."
"Later, Junior Brother Gu and I recalled the search of Zou Yuhua's bedroom and the bedroom next door, and then we discovered that there was a long and narrow partition in the middle."
After a pause, Lu Weiwei quickly said: "Anyway, you just come with me."
Seeing Lu Weiwei's serious look, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha did not dare to neglect, and followed Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei upstairs to see what was going on.
Everyone came to Zou Yuhua's room, and at this time the police dog was still searching in the living room.
Gu Chen quickly asked: "Has Zou Yuhua's bedroom been checked?"
"Looking back at the bureau, yes." said a third-level superintendent holding a police dog.
"Did the police dog issue an early warning?" Gu Chen asked again.
"No." The third-level superintendent shook his head and said helplessly:
"The police dog searched the room twice and found no problems."
"Then come here again." Gu Chen didn't say much and led everyone directly into the bedroom.
The third-level superintendent was a little helpless, but he could only lead the police dog and returned to the bedroom again.
"Gu Bureau." The third-level superintendent holding the police dog quickly explained:
"We have searched this room several times, very carefully, but we have not found any contraband."
Despite the eloquent explanation from the third-level superintendent, Gu Chen still did not reply. Instead, he came to the wall and carefully observed the subtle clues.
Then, Gu Chen knocked lightly with the back of his hand, and instantly felt that the sound was wrong.
When Officer Wang saw this, he quickly followed Gu Chen's example and started knocking on the wall.
After a while, Officer Wang turned to look at Gu Chen and said, "Gu Chen, the inside of this wall seems to be empty."
"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded silently. How could Gu Chen not know about this situation?
Since he had discovered some abnormalities in the window structure of this villa room before outside the villa, Gu Chen concluded that there might be a long and narrow partition between the two bedrooms.
But now, what Gu Chen has to do is to find the entrance to this long and narrow compartment.
But the walls are smooth and there are no gaps.
Then, Gu Chen turned his attention to the wardrobe on one side.
Lu Weiwei also hurriedly took two steps forward and said to the wardrobe: "This is a wardrobe installed on the wall."
"I think the entrance should be right here."
After listening to Lu Weiwei's reminder, Gu Chen opened the wardrobe directly, but there were only some Zou Yuhua's daily clothes inside.
Gu Chen took out the coats hanging in the closet and threw them on the big bed nearby.
Then, he knocked on the inner wall of the closet with the back of his hand.
There was a crisp sound of "dong dong dong".
The corners of Gu Chen's mouth raised slightly, and he confirmed, "There must be something fishy in this."
After finishing his words, Gu Chen found more clothes from the closet and put them on the big bed. Then he turned on a strong flashlight and began to use the light to carefully check the condition of the closet.
However, there seemed to be nothing unusual inside the wardrobe, but there was a gap in the middle that felt a little fishy.
Gu Chen tried to push it with his hands, but it seemed to be extremely strong, as if it was stuck by some fixed lock.
Gu Chen didn't find the switch on the upper floor, so he started to open the drawer of the wardrobe, took out some socks, and illuminated them with a strong flashlight.
However, when Gu Chen found the drawer on the last floor, due to his blocked vision, Gu Chen directly touched the structure inside the drawer with his hand, only to find a raised object.
Gu Chen tried to understand it with his hands, and then pulled it hard.
With a crisp "click" sound, the gap in the upper wardrobe suddenly seemed to loosen.
Yuan Shasha hurriedly said: "Brother Gu, look quickly, there seems to be a door opened in the middle of the wardrobe above."
"This should be a switch." Gu Chen stood up and looked at the gap in the wood in front of him.
Since Gu Chen couldn't push it open before, now Gu Chen looked around and found that there were precise locks stuck in the upper and lower directions.
And the switch I turned on just now opened these two locks.
At this moment, the gap in the middle of the wardrobe was directly loosened.
Gu Chen just pushed it gently and found a dim space.
At this moment, everyone shined bright flashlights into it and instantly discovered that this was the compartment they had been looking for.
"Sure enough, there is something inside." Seeing this scene, Officer Wang was also overjoyed.
Lu Weiwei complained: "It's so dark that you can't see anything clearly. Junior Brother Gu, be careful and you're in danger."
"Yeah." Gu Chen looked around, then used a strong flashlight to shine a few times at the entrance.
After discovering that there was no other mechanism at the entrance, he began to carefully step on the closet, and then cautiously poked his head into it to check the internal situation.
"Junior Brother Gu." Seeing Gu Chen looking fascinated, Lu Weiwei quickly asked him: "What did you see?"
"Some storage racks, this should be a secret warehouse." Gu Chen said.
"Is that dangerous?" Yuan Shasha on the other side asked quickly.
"At the moment...it doesn't seem to be the case." Gu Chen looked around and confirmed.
"Then why don't you go in and take a look?" Officer Wang said.
"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded slightly, then started to put away the flashlight and stepped into it.
Lu Weiwei quickly put her hand into the entrance. Although no one went in, she used the strong flashlight in her hand to provide lighting for Gu Chen.
However, Gu Chen stayed in the compartment for a long time, but there was still no movement. The people waiting at the door also wanted to go in and see what was going on.
Lu Weiwei even asked: "Junior Brother Gu, what did you find? Can I go in and have a look?"
"Don't come in yet. It seems that there is only room for one person to walk here, and the location is very narrow." Gu Chen said from inside the compartment.
"Okay." Lu Weiwei, who was still holding a strong flashlight and reaching inside to provide lighting for Gu Chen, also sighed and complained a little:
"It's only Zou Yuhua who thought up such a narrow compartment."
"If you don't make it so narrow, then you can see the trick from the outside. People have already made this secret compartment so narrow, wouldn't you and Gu Chen still find the trick?" Officer Wang also said jokingly.
"That's true." Lu Weiwei looked proud, feeling that the unexpected harvest this time would definitely be enough for Zou Yuhua to drink a pot.
At this moment, Gu Chen walked from inside to the entrance.
Lu Weiwei, who saw Gu Chen, quickly asked Gu Chen: "Junior Brother Gu, what did you see?"
"The amount of contraband is quite large. I don't think Zou Yuhua can get out." Gu Chen also said calmly.
After hearing what Gu Chen said, Officer Wang knew that there should be a lot of contraband inside.
He immediately grinned and said: "It seems that this Zou Yuhua has really brought his own evil to his own deeds and will not survive."
"You said that he is a good and successful boss, what can he do wrong? Must he be contaminated with these contraband?"
"It's better now. It's enough for him to drink a pot. I don't think he has any reason to quibble?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Officer Wang quickly said: "By the way, Gu Chen, hurry up and get everything out of here."
"Understood, wait a moment, I will take a photo for evidence."
As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, he continued to return to the storage room and began to take photos and collect evidence based on the situation at the scene.
After completing a series of procedures, Gu Chen began to carefully move the items on the internal shelves to the entrance.
Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha then moved the items to the floor from the entrance.
This busy work instantly made the atmosphere in the whole room tense.
One box, two boxes, three boxes...
Although they are all small boxes, judging from the weight, they seem to be really heavy enough for Zou Yuhua to never get out of.
Officer Wang took a small box and wondered in his heart: "With so many contraband items just placed in the compartment, isn't he afraid of them getting damaged? This is a valuable item."
"There is a temperature control system inside." Gu Chen said.
"Temperature control system?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, Officer Wang took a look.
Gu Chen directly moved another box out and reminded: "Although this compartment is very secret, it looks like an air-conditioned room inside."
"The temperature is relatively moderate in all aspects. If the power is not cut off, this is really like an air-conditioned room. There should be no problem in storing these items."
"Furthermore, this place is very secretive. Even if we brought police dogs, we could not find this location. It shows that Zou Yuhua's method of hiding contraband is very appropriate."
"Haha, no matter how cunning he is, he can't do anything now." Officer Wang put down the box in his hand and said involuntarily:
"That's all. I don't think Zou Yuhua has anything else to say?"
After a pause, Officer Wang turned to look at Gu Chen and asked, "Gu Chen, is there anything else inside?"
"No more." Gu Chen spread his hands and said with a smile: "The quantity of these things alone is astonishing. There is no way this guy can fill up this compartment, right?"
"That's true." Looking at the six boxes of contraband on the ground, Officer Wang also took a deep breath and said:
"Good guy, how much does this cost? It seems that this Zou Yuhua is really not a simple guy."
"If we catch him, then I guess there is an industrial chain behind him. Isn't he a tough talker? How long will it take for him to keep his tough talk?"
"Now that the evidence is available, even if he doesn't kill anyone, he can't survive, is that it? Haha, I don't know how arrogant this guy can be?"
Feeling that this search was a complete success, Officer Wang almost burst into laughter.
Gu Chen also climbed out from inside, clapped his hands, and then said: "This villa is temporarily closed. Bring all relevant personnel back to the branch."
"In addition, we have to interrogate Zou Yuhua overnight. After bringing Zou Yuhua back to the branch, he will wait for us in the interrogation room."
"Yes." Ji Zhe listened to Gu Chen's explanation and immediately began to make arrangements.
Gu Chen looked at the other people and said, "You guys, take photos of these things and collect evidence, then take them to the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau and hand them over to Gao Chuanfeng."
"The rest, he knows what to do."
"Understood." After listening to Gu Chen's explanation, several third-level police superintendents immediately began to wrap these items in transparent evidence collection bags. After recording the numbers, they began to move downstairs.
At this moment, the time has reached 40 in the morning.
Gu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
…
…
1:30 am.
Furong Branch, Interrogation Room No. 1.
Zou Yuhua sat on the interrogation chair, his eyes dull.
But Gu Chen and the others were extremely energetic.
Gu Chen was quite satisfied with being able to find so many contraband items in Zou Yuhua's home.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At least it shows that the facts of Zou Yuhua’s crime cannot be quibbled with.
And now Gu Chen is increasingly convinced that Zou Yuhua asked Hu Zhe to rent warehouses No. 001 and No. 002 in Area E5 of the Yuhua Logistics Park wet market just to store these prohibited items.
The pickles were moved and put in there, perhaps just to cover up part of the smell and prevent police dogs from sniffing out the smell during a sudden police investigation.
After all, Hu Zhe was Ma Zai who worked for Zou Yuhua. Of course, what was the conflict between the two? Gu Chen didn't know.
However, Gu Chen believed that Hu Zhe's disappearance must be related to Zou Yuhua.
"Zou Yuhua, do you have anything to say?" Gu Chen turned his pen with his right hand and stared at Zou Yuhua for a long time.
Because Zou Yuhua was relatively tough before, but the evidence was relatively sufficient.
But Zou Yuhua still wanted to resist, but now, Gu Chen found the contraband at home, and there was a lot of it.
This made Zou Yuhua lose the initiative.
Now Zou Yuhua can be said to have no room for maneuver.
Zou Yuhua looked up at Gu Chen, also chuckled, and said helplessly: "What do you want to know?"
"These contrabands." Gu Chen put a package of contraband on the table and said involuntarily:
"What if you don't know about this package of contraband found under the bed in your bedroom, or even who put it there?"
"Well, we found a large amount of the same type of contraband in the compartment of your bedroom. Don't tell me, you don't even know this?"
After Gu Chen finished speaking, Zou Yuhua seemed a little embarrassed.
For a moment, he didn't know how to reply to Gu Chen's question, so he could only lower his head and remain silent.
Lu Weiwei grinned and couldn't help but said: "Zou Yuhua, you are really smart. This bedroom partition should have been designed by the decoration company when the villa was renovated, right?"
"Moreover, we also found a temperature control system in your compartment, which shows how much you attach importance to this compartment."
"Especially your compartment. It's obviously designed to store items, but I never expected that you would use it to store contraband?"
Speaking of this, Lu Weiwei also looked proud.
It feels like this Zou Yuhua, usually in front of me, seems to be eloquent and behaves like a big boss.
But now it seems that without those haloes, the big boss is just an ordinary person.
Zou Yuhua took a deep breath and tried to calm down before saying:
"Didn't you all see it?"
"So, you admit that these things are all yours?" Gu Chen knew that it didn't matter to Zou Yuhua now whether he said it or not. After all, there were so many contraband items hidden in the bedroom compartment that even jumping into the Yellow River couldn't wash them away.
.
Zou Yuhua did not refute this time, but nodded listlessly and said: "Yes, you have already searched it, and I have nothing to say."
"Where did you get all these things?" Officer Wang asked with raised eyebrows.
"I got it from a business partner," Zou Yuhua said.
"Can you be more specific?" Officer Wang asked again.
Zou Yuhua let out a long sigh, also lay down on the seat, and said slowly: "I'm a little thirsty, can you give me a glass of water?"
After hearing what Zou Yuhua said, Yuan Shasha put down the work at hand, took out a disposable paper cup, and poured a glass of water for Zou Yuhua.
And personally delivered it to Zou Yuhua.
Zou Yuhua let out a long sigh, looked at the paper cup in his hand, put it helplessly into his mouth, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Do you want more?" Yuan Shasha asked.
"No, thank you." Zou Yuhua looked a little tired and spoke listlessly.
Yuan Shasha returned to her seat, ready to continue recording.
Officer Wang knocked on the table and reminded: "Zou Yuhua, you also drank the water. Now tell me, who gave you these things?"
"These things were not mine in the first place," Zou Yuhua said.
"How do you say this?" Officer Wang raised his eyebrows, feeling that this guy seemed to have something to say.
But Zou Yuhua was much more relaxed at the moment. He was also lying on the seat and said slowly:
"Actually, these things are all stored by my friends here."
"He was also in business. He had several factories of his own before and was worth over 100 million yuan. However, due to poor management and excessive borrowing, many capital chains were broken."
"Due to credit issues, he couldn't borrow funds from the bank, so he asked friends like us to borrow money."
"But we businessmen all regard working capital as our own blood, and we will not lend it to others easily, especially someone like him who cannot repay it at all."
Taking a deep breath, Zou Yuhua also sighed and said: "So, if you said I would lend you some money to help you with turnover, I would still be willing to give you a few hundred thousand, but his hole is really too big."
"Later, he borrowed money from private capital, but the interest rate was exorbitantly high. However, at that time, he had no way out."
"Then it's better to go bankrupt. Just pay off the suppliers' and workers' money and start over again," Lu Weiwei said.
But Zou Yuhua laughed dryly, waved his hand and said: "Comrade policewoman, you will never understand things in the business world."
"With a business of my friend's size, how could he possibly stop it? A few years ago, the assessed assets were over RMB 100 million, and those were all fixed assets. The cash flow was actually not much, and they were all liabilities."
"When the economy is good, you can get your money back quickly and make a lot of money, so there won't be any problems."
"But once the economy has problems and it is difficult to collect money, then these high leverages are prone to problems. Bank loans cannot be repaid overdue, so we can only pay for them by demolishing the east wall to pay for the west wall."
"Then what does this have to do with you?" After listening to Zou Yuhua talking about his friends for a long time, Officer Wang also asked curiously.
And Zou Yuhua also took a deep breath, and then said: "Because this friend was my original benefactor."
"It can be said that I have been doing business with him since the beginning. It was him who led me, and I was able to develop step by step from a poor boy in a mountain village to the current scale."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "In terms of seniority, that is my eldest brother. He taught me how to do business bit by bit. He also gave me a lot of help when I was starting my own business."
"They even helped me get loans from many banks, which allowed my business to reach its current scale in a short period of time."
Taking a deep breath, Zou Yuhua rubbed his face with both hands and shook his head helplessly:
"However, the times are developing too fast. Many past business concepts are no longer suitable for the current development model, and losses are inevitable."
"That friend later became desperate and was being collected for debt every day. I tried my best to help him."
"But after a while, I found that he began to slowly recover and seemed to be coming back to life."
"One day, I asked him what was going on? He said that he found a big customer in Southeast Asia, cooperated with that customer, and made some money."
"At that time, I jokingly told him that if there was any way to make money, I could also help my brothers, but he refused."
"So you saw something fishy from that moment on?" Gu Chen said.
Zou Yuhua nodded silently: "Yes, I know him very well. In my opinion, there is absolutely no way his business can be revived."
"Because of his reputation, he can no longer raise funds. The inability to raise funds means that the final fate of his properties is bankruptcy and liquidation."
With a faint sigh, Zou Yuhua also said with a wry smile: "But he just recovered."
"In my opinion, unless a fool with a lot of money is willing to take over, it is absolutely impossible."
"However, I have been in contact with that client of his and had dinner with him once. He said he was in the real estate investment business, but it didn't look like him at all."
After a pause, Zou Yuhua looked at Gu Chen and others, and then said: "You also went to our entrepreneur cocktail party today, did you see it too?"
"I am an outstanding entrepreneur representative in the city. I also have many business friends in the business district, including some real estate developers."
"We often get together to exchange business experiences, and I also learn from them to understand the development of the industry."
"But as soon as I contacted my friend's so-called Southeast Asian partners and just chatted casually, I discovered many flaws in them."
"From that moment on, I knew very clearly that they were definitely not real estate developers from Southeast Asia, but some illegal businessmen."
"Then since you know this, why don't you dissuade your friend to stop as soon as possible?" Lu Weiwei also said angrily.
But Zou Yuhua shook his head: "Comrade police, you think of the problem too simply. At this time, do you think I can persuade my friend?"
"What's more, he is still my benefactor. My choice not to report him is the greatest help to him."
"I really hope that he can recover financially and then give up this business completely."
"Because in Jiangnan City, his stupid behavior will ruin everything for him."
"Haha." Listening to Zou Yuhua's regretful words, Officer Wang couldn't help but laugh twice and said:
"Zou Yuhua, Zou Yuhua, you said a thousand words and ten thousand, haven't you also compensated yourself? In my opinion, you are greedy enough."
"No, I was forced." After hearing what Officer Wang said, Zou Yuhua's mood seemed to become a little irritable.
Officer Wang directly threw the writing pen on the table, folded his arms, and lay on the seat. He said in a bad mood:
"Were you forced? No one forced you to do this."
"You don't understand." Seeing Officer Wang say this, Zou Yuhua frowned and said helplessly:
"Before, I tried my best to break off the relationship with that friend. I knew that if he continued like this, he would kill himself sooner or later."
"Not only that, it may involve me."
"But fortunately at that time, I knew that I didn't know the specific relationship between him and the Southeast Asian businessman."
"So, as long as I pretend to be stupid, everything will be fine."
"But I can't bear to let my friend fall into dire straits. I can't bear to let him go to a dead end. I want to save him."
"So? Did you confess to that friend?" Yuan Shasha asked.
Zou Yuhua nodded fiercely, nodded continuously, then looked up at everyone, and said slowly with a haggard tone:
"One day, I asked that friend to go fishing. In fact, fishing was fake, but talking to him was real."
"The two of us rented a boat and rowed to the middle of the lake. It is safer there and can avoid people's eyes and ears."
"On the boat, I told him directly that I knew that the Southeast Asian real estate businessman was fake. His true identity was probably a contraband smuggler."
"Then what was your friend's reaction?" Officer Wang asked.
Zou Yuhua laughed twice and shook his head helplessly: "I thought he would be surprised, but unexpectedly, he was very relieved."
"Very relieved?" When Lu Weiwei heard this, she also asked in confusion: "Why is this happening?"
"Because he could see it from the drinking party between the three of us. He saw that I already knew that the Southeast Asian real estate developer had a problem, but I never confessed to him everything I knew."
"It wasn't until that day, when we rowed together in a boat to the middle of the lake, that I expressed my doubts."
"But he told me that he originally thought that I would talk to him a long time ago."
"In other words, he actually knows that you know everything about him?" Lu Weiwei said.
Zou Yuhua nodded silently: "You can understand it this way, he brought me out, and he understands my thoughts very well."
"Then what was the final result?" Officer Wang asked with narrowed eyes.
Zou Yuhua shook his head: "It was hopeless. When I learned that he had sold some contraband through his own business channels, it was too late."
"He begged me to help, but I refused, but he told me that he had already dragged me into the water."
"What did you say?" Hearing what Zou Yuhua said, Gu Chen frowned slightly:
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "He said he dragged you into the water? What does this mean?"
"Haha." After hearing Gu Chen's words, Zou Yuhua also asked Gu Chen: "Don't you often say, do I know that Hu Zhe?"
"Yes, so you are finally willing to admit that you know him?" Gu Chen said.
Zou Yuhua nodded silently and said with relief: "Actually, I don't know him at all. That Hu Zhe is working for my friend."
"It's just that in order to maximize profits, my friend asked Hu Zhe to rent my Yuhua Logistics Park, which is what you call Area E5, Warehouse No. 001 and Warehouse No. 002."
"All of this is actually not run by me, but by my friends."
"He wants to use my market to use these contraband as a transit."
"And I actually didn't know anything, so I was dragged into the trap by him. Not only that, he also threatened me and asked me to assist him because I already knew his secret."
"Although we were very close friends at the time, after experiencing that bankruptcy, my friend has clearly understood that even a good brother like me may not be reliable at critical moments."
"So, when I knew everything about him, in order to protect himself, he wanted to drag me into the water and let me help him get on his pirate ship."
After the words fell, Zou Yuhua covered his face with his hands, seemingly helpless and a little sad.
Gu Chen calmed down and continued to ask: "What happened next? What happened next?"
With a faint sigh, Zou Yuhua also looked at Gu Chen with a haggard look, and said slowly:
"Later? I only remember the conversation on the boat. My friend told me that he hoped I could start a business together through my market."
"He also told me that he was just delaying the plan because his property would face bankruptcy and he would lose even his pants."
"He is such a strong person, and he will never let himself live in such a miserable state. I know him too well. He said that he would stop when things are good, and that he would stop after bringing the company back to life. That's all bullshit."
"In this kind of business, once you get stuck, there is no room for maneuver. I don't want to join him, but I have no other choice."
Looking up at Gu Chen, Zou Yuhua also said in a reluctant tone:
"As you all know, I do whatever it takes for my business, and I have also raised a lot of idle people in society. These boys handle many shady things for me."
"My friend knows all these secrets. If I don't board his pirate ship, then he will choose to die with me. He does what he says."
