Gu Chen knew that the old lady actually didn't want such people to escape the punishment of the law.
Perhaps it was because she had grown up watching it, so the old lady still felt a little awkward inside.
But after all, the old lady was willing to cooperate. Of course Gu Chen was willing to accept it and quickly asked her:
"Grandma, where is this Zhang Guifa now?"
"Hide in a cave in the back mountain," the old woman said.
"Cave?" Lu Weiwei heard this and quickly looked towards the mountain forest, feeling a little confused and said:
"The woods here are very dense, and they don't seem to have been developed. Is it easy to find a place like a cave?"
"It's a bit difficult." The old lady didn't shy away and said truthfully:
"This cave was a hiding place dug by our ancestors to avoid war."
"In the era of war and chaos, the village did not feel safe even in the mountains and forests."
"So, that cave became a secret base in our village. Only our villagers know about it, and we usually don't tell outsiders."
After saying this, the old lady took a deep breath and felt really conflicted inside.
When Officer Wang heard this, he quickly asked: "Is this cave far from the village?"
"Erli Di, most people don't know how to get there," the old lady said.
"Then can you lead the way?" Yuan Shasha said.
The old lady hesitated for a moment, then said helplessly: "I won't lead the way. If Guifa knows that I betrayed him, he will definitely hate me."
"But for the mistakes he made, he has to bear the consequences himself, and I can't help him."
After thinking for a while, the old lady said again: "How about I draw a map for you?"
"Okay." Seeing that this method was more compromise, Gu Chen quickly took out the writing pen from his chest, and then handed the note paper he carried with him to the old lady.
The old lady also marked the location with lines and objects based on the approximate location of the village.
A very simple topographic map, the old lady even drew a staircase along the way.
"Go straight this way and you will come to a relatively steep staircase. Don't go up. To the right, just go down the slope."
"The cave is at the back of this slope. You can find it if you go there."
"Thank you." Gu Chen easily understood the general contents of the drawing and quickly thanked him.
After bidding farewell to the old lady, Gu Chen immediately took Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha and quickly maneuvered towards the target area.
Since there is no way back here, the cave may be Zhang Guifa's hiding place.
Last night, Zhang Guifa may have purchased a large amount of food to avoid the limelight in the cave area.
But this time Zhang Guifa seemed to have no chance of escaping, and Gu Chen had already considered the difficulty of capturing Zhang Guifa.
If a chase occurs in the woods, Gu Chen needs personnel to deploy to prevent Zhang Guifa from escaping from the encirclement.
When he reached the slope, Gu Chen suddenly stretched out his right index finger, put it to his mouth and whispered:
"Everyone, be quiet. From now on, we will approach that location secretly."
After he finished speaking, Gu Chen took out the drawing and reminded everyone again:
"The location of the cave is down there. Let's go there quietly and don't make too much noise."
"Understood." Lu Weiwei nodded silently and added: "There are still a lot of insects in the mountains, which can provide us with some cover."
"That's right." Officer Wang also nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "This Zhang Guifa will most likely not be able to escape."
"It's better to be careful," Gu Chen said.
Everyone communicated briefly on the spot, and then Gu Chen took the lead and walked at the front of the crowd.
Fearing that Zhang Guifa had a murder weapon in his hand, everyone took out their police equipment to avoid injury.
Officers Gu Chen and Wang were in front holding mechanical batons, while Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha were behind holding domestic crack guns.
As the target cave gets closer and closer, everyone's nervousness reaches its peak.
However, at this moment, Gu Chen heard a snoring sound, and his heart suddenly relaxed again.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Gu Chen was no longer walking, Officer Wang behind him asked in a low voice in confusion.
"I seem to have fallen asleep." Gu Chen took a deep breath, adjusted the position of the law enforcement recorder, and continued to walk quickly forward.
Turning around, I found a cave-like location.
At the entrance of the cave, there are some natural vegetation cover, and some artificially broken vegetation.
At this moment, Gu Chen could clearly see some of the conditions inside the cave through the sunlight.
The cave is not large but quite secretive.
As the old lady said, unless you are from this village, it is almost impossible to find such a secret cave.
Seeing someone still sleeping on a stone bed in the cave, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, who came later, were relieved when they saw this.
Everyone slowly walked into the cave until they came to the man's side. The man still didn't seem to notice anything.
"It's him." After repeatedly identifying the appearance, Lu Weiwei determined that this person was Zhang Guifa.
Officer Wang chuckled and struck Zhang Guifa on the waist with his mechanical baton.
"Huh?" Zhang Guifa muttered and turned around casually. But a moment later, Zhang Guifa, who was sleeping on the stone bed, seemed to realize that something was wrong and immediately turned his head to take a look.
When I saw several strangers standing behind me, I was immediately frightened and wanted to get up and run away.
But Gu Chen and Officer Wang would not give him this chance, and immediately pushed Zhang Guifa down on the bed.
Afterwards, Gu Chen took off the rose gold handcuffs and subdued Zhang Guifa instantly with a skillful handcuff.
"Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!" Zhang Guifa seemed to be at a loss by this sudden "surprise" and kept struggling.
Officer Wang pressed Zhang Guifa's head to the ground and said as a warning: "Zhang Guifa, please be honest. We are from the Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch, and you are under arrest now."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Let me go!" Zhang Guifa seemed to be frightened and kept moving his body.
But at this moment, he was pinned to the ground by Gu Chen and Officer Wang, and his hands were cuffed behind his back by rose gold handcuffs. Even if he tried to struggle, it would be useless.
Lu Weiwei grinned and said jokingly: "I say Zhang Guifa, please save your energy."
"Even if I give you wings now, you still can't fly. Just stay calm."
"Get up." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Gu Chen grabbed Zhang Guifa's collar and pulled Zhang Guifa up from the ground.
When Zhang Guifa stood up straight, he seemed to realize that at this moment, he was really at the end of his rope.
Yuan Shasha walked up to her and checked her phone repeatedly, then nodded to Gu Chen and said:
"Senior Brother Gu, there is no problem. I confirm that he is Zhang Guifa."
"Very good." Gu Chen took a deep breath and looked at Zhang Guifa in front of him.
Originally, Gu Chen thought that it would be difficult to find Zhang Guifa, but now it seems that he has made the problem too difficult.
Fortunately, it was a critical moment and the power of the masses was mobilized.
Of course, persuading the old lady was undoubtedly successful. At least the old lady knew that Zhang Guifa, a capable villager who he had watched grow up, was now a criminal.
"Zhang Guifa?" Gu Chen looked at Zhang Guifa in front of him with sharp eyes.
"That's right." When Gu Chen asked, Zhang Guifa simply replied.
"Do you know why I arrested you?" Gu Chen asked again.
"I don't know." Zhang Guifa tilted his head, with a stubborn expression on his face, as if he was very unconvinced.
Of course, Gu Chen didn't care about this. Now that he had caught Zhang Guifa, it was basically a success.
So Gu Chen glanced at Yuan Shasha behind him and ordered: "Xiao Yuan, please record the situation at the scene."
"No problem." According to Gu Chen's request, Yuan Shasha immediately started collecting evidence on site and took photos of the scene to register.
After completing all the operations, Gu Chen pulled Zhang Guifa to the entrance of the cave and reminded him: "We are taking you back to Furong Branch now. You'd better be more honest with me."
"I'll do it, Gu Chen." Seeing that Zhang Guifa seemed dissatisfied, Officer Wang directly took over the escort task of Zhang Guifa from Gu Chen.
I feel that Comrade Lao Wang is good at dealing with such thorns.
Afterwards, everyone returned to Zhangjiacun along the same path as before.
When everyone escorted Zhang Guifa through Zhangjia Village, the old woman had disappeared and there were a few empty wooden benches at the door.
Zhang Guifa looked at the wooden door of the old man's house fiercely. At this moment, the old man was hiding behind the wooden door and saw all this through the crack in the door.
The old man burst into tears and choked with sobs.
But he still tried hard to control his uncomfortable mood, and could only wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes with his rough hands.
Gu Chen stopped for a moment at the door of Zhangjiacun. Seeing Zhang Guifa still staring fiercely at the old man's door, he subconsciously pushed it and reminded him: "Quickly go."
When they arrived at the vehicle, everyone escorted Zhang Guifa into the back row of the vehicle, started the vehicle directly, and drove towards the Furong branch.
…
…
When I returned to Furong Branch, it was already 10 a.m.
At this moment, Zhang Guifa was sitting on the interrogation chair with handcuffs on his hands, looking listless.
Gu Chen opened the record book, looked at Zhang Guifa, and asked: "Name."
"Zhang Guifa." Zhang Guifa seemed to be very cooperative.
After Gu Chen recorded the name, he asked Zhang Guifa: "Please tell me your ID number."
Zhang Guifa had no intention of resisting and reported the number directly.
Of course, Zhang Guifa also knew very well that even if he didn't say anything, the police would not know about it.
There is no point in resisting the police.
After completing the input of basic information, Gu Chen lay down on his seat, looked at Zhang Guifa with an indifferent look, and asked:
"Zhang Guifa, do you know why we want to arrest you?"
"I don't know." Zhang Guifa shook his head, looking quite helpless.
Gu Chen snorted coldly and asked, "Let me ask you, where is Hu Zhe?"
"What do you mean? What Hu Zhe?" After hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhang Guifa just raised his eyebrows.
Lu Weiwei chuckled, but also pressed the table to remind her: "I told Zhang Guifa, please stop acting."
"Since we can find you in the cave, we can know everything you have done."
After a pause, Lu Weiwei continued to ask: "Let me ask you, is Hu Zhe a member of your daughter Zhang Ying's metal band?"
After the words fell, Zhang Guifa on the other side said nothing.
Lu Weiwei didn't like him, so she continued: "We are friends with your daughter Zhang Ying. She used to take care of our injured colleagues in the hospital, so we have a very good relationship."
"Moreover, the reason why we were able to find you in the cave is actually due to your daughter Zhang Ying."
When Lu Weiwei said this, Zhang Guifa turned his head and his expression changed slightly.
Lu Weiwei continued: "We talked with Zhang Ying for a long time last night, and she said she hated you and hated you for abandoning your married wife."
"The death of your wife was the last straw for your daughter."
"From now on, the relationship between you and your daughter Zhang Ying has been like fire and water."
"In the eyes of your daughter Zhang Ying, you are a heinous bastard."
After the words fell, Lu Weiwei noticed that Zhang Guifa's expression became serious at this moment.
Judging from what was said just now, using the card of Zhang Guifa's daughter Zhang Ying does have a miraculous effect.
Upon seeing this, Officer Wang continued: "We already know a lot about the relationship between you and your daughter Zhang Ying."
"It was your daughter who asked us to find Hu Zhe. Of course, where is Hu Zhe now? I think you should know better than anyone else."
"Because Hu Zhe may have been killed by you, and you used the trash cans and garbage trucks on Binjiang Road to transport Hu Zhe's body away and then secretly buried it."
Taking a deep breath, Officer Wang also turned his pen with his right hand and said jokingly: "Judging from the method of committing the crime, it is indeed clever."
"Let a living person disappear out of thin air, and then you convinced the killer's companion to let the guy playing football stupidly kill the killer Zhang Quan."
Shaking his head, Officer Wang said helplessly: "I have to admire you for your ability to brainwash people."
"Just drag everyone into the water, and you can even escape unscathed."
"Do you think that once Hu Zhe and Zhang Quan die, no one will know the facts of your crime? Why don't you kill Zou Yuhua?"
When "Zou Yuhua" was mentioned, Zhang Guifa's eyes fluctuated again.
When Officer Wang saw this, he also smiled and said: "What? Have you also thought about killing Zou Yuhua? But you shouldn't dare, because you still need Zou Yuhua to store your goods for you."
"Do you all know?" Seeing that the police knew so thoroughly, Zhang Guifa's inner defense seemed to be on the verge of collapse from the beginning.
Gu Chen also said seriously: "Zhang Guifa, we have all the facts about your crime, including the goods you hid in the compartment of Zou Yuhua's house, which have now been seized by our police."
"And the situation where you used Zou Yuhua to deliver pickles to Hu Zhe's warehouse is also under our control."
With a faint sigh, Gu Chen also gave a thumbs up and said: "Zhang Guifa, sometimes I have to admire you, you are really smart."
"However, you used your wisdom in the wrong place. You sold a huge amount of contraband. Do you know the consequences?"
"Haha." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Zhang Guifa nodded silently and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Of course I know the consequences."
"From the moment I started walking down this road of no return, I already knew the consequences."
"Then why are you still doing this?" Yuan Shasha asked.
Zhang Guifa shook his head: "I can't help it. Sometimes in the shopping mall, I really can't help myself."
With a heavy sigh, Zhang Guifa then added: "I could have been a successful entrepreneur, but while you have gained great fame and success, it also indicates that high risks will always be with you."
"However, we have no choice but to retreat because so many employees in the company are waiting to rely on me for a living."
"It would be fine if I were a small self-employed person. If the company fails, then it will go bankrupt. But my industry is so big and there are so many employees working in my company."
Speaking of this, Zhang Guifa couldn't help but wipe the wet corners of his eyes and said helplessly:
"If my company goes bankrupt, these people will lose their jobs."
"Then is this the reason why you committed the crime?" Lu Weiwei also retorted after hearing Zhang Guifa using this excuse to evade herself.
But Zhang Guifa said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "Comrade policewoman, do you think that everyone in business can be as successful as the Yuan Group?"
"Yes, they can continue to be successful for many years because the company's size is there and they are diversified."
"But what about us people? We need resources, but we don't have resources, and we need connections. We need to manage it on our own."
"With high-end connections, people look down on us, but with low-end connections, they won't be of any help to us."
"Thinking about it, I am quite unlucky. From a remote mountain village, there are not many people who can build a company to the scale it is today."
"I know." Listening to Zhang Guifa talking about his "glorious history," Gu Chen first expressed his approval, and then said:
"You are indeed the hope of your whole village, and your Zhangjia Village is indeed proud of you."
"But the things you are doing now have completely deviated from your original intentions."
"You can fail or turn to the road of crime. It is not an excuse for your failure. What you do, if you think it is helping your company's employees and solving employment problems, is your own opinion."
"You can be responsible for the employees of your company, but you are using another vicious way to hurt another group of people."
After a pause, Gu Chen said righteously: "You deal in contraband, do you know how harmful it is to society?"
"Not only that, you also bought murder to kill. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
"You talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but in my opinion, they are all false. You are just a selfish person. You are undoubtedly trying to evade yourself by making so many excuses."
Gu Chen's words seemed to leave Zhang Guifa speechless.
Gu Chen seemed to have hit the point, at least he saw his true face.
Seeing that his sophistry failed and was discovered by Gu Chen, Zhang Guifa smiled helplessly and sighed:
"It's because I don't have the ability to continue running the business. I feel sorry for our company's employees and my partners."
"I betrayed the trust of my partners, but I had no choice but to do such illegal things in order to regain everyone's confidence in me."
"Originally I thought that by making a little bit of capital turnover, I could revitalize the entire industry chain."
"Due to credit problems, I have been blacklisted by the bank, and many loans are overdue. I have no choice. I need a working capital to revitalize the entire industry chain."
"if there is……"
"That's enough." Before Zhang Guifa could finish speaking, Gu Chen interrupted directly:
"Zhang Guifa, your idea is good, but your idea has already exceeded your ability."
"You actually know that you don't have the ability to bring the dead back to life. This is not a situation that can be solved with a lump sum of working capital."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen said again: "Zou Yuhua, you should be very familiar with this person."
"He followed you back then. It can be said that he was your apprentice. He is also a master of shopping malls."
"He can see that your business group is hopeless, otherwise he will directly take over your industries."
"However, Zou Yuhua has long seen the essence of the problem. The hole you created is too big and it will be difficult to fill it back."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "No, it's okay, you just need to give me some cash flow." Faced with Gu Chen's doubts, Zhang Guifa knew that there was nothing wrong with what Gu Chen said.
But for the sake of face, Zhang Guifa still had to refute.
Lu Weiwei on the side shook her head and couldn't help but said: "Zhang Guifa, what I admire about you is that you know that those partners don't trust you, but you actually use smuggling contraband to obtain funds."
"To make up for those partners and restore your credibility, but you forgot one thing, your starting point was wrong from the beginning."
"You use the proceeds of crime to restore your credibility. The result you get is also wrong."
Lu Weiwei's remarks were like a slap on Zhang Guifa's face.
Zhang Gui stood there in a daze, his eyes dull.
This is undoubtedly a major blow to Zhang Guifa, who was once so famous.
Zhang Guifa just now was trying to defend himself in order to portray himself as a person who keeps his word.
But Lu Weiwei revealed Zhang Guifa's starting point in one sentence.
This made the somewhat proud Zhang Guifa feel extremely inferior at this moment.
Officer Wang saw that Zhang Guifa's eyes were already dull at this time, and he also said jokingly: "Zhang Guifa, actually you have no way to save yourself."
"The prosperity and decline of enterprises is a historical law. No one can succeed all the time, and no one will fail all the time."
"It's not scary to accept failure. What's scary is not being able to bear the responsibility for failure."
"For your own selfish desires, you started to use any means, even buying murderers to kill people. Now you have completely become a devil, do you know that?"
"I know." Feeling like his heart was being beaten constantly, Zhang Guifa sighed heavily and rubbed his cheeks with both hands.
After a while, Zhang Guifa looked up at Gu Chen and the others, and said helplessly:
"From the beginning, I had a lucky mentality. I thought I could pick up what I had thrown away before."
"However, I later discovered that my luck mentality had made me fall deeper and deeper into the situation. I didn't even know why I fell into it."
"But when I reacted, I found that everything was too late. I couldn't look back. Everything was over. It was doomed."
With a faint sigh, Zhang Guifa shook his head helplessly: "It seems that I was destined to have such a day from the beginning."
"Of course, I had anticipated such a day in advance, but this day seems to have come a bit quickly."
"We, the police, will never be too quick to crack down on your criminal behavior, but we regret not finding you people earlier." Gu Chen said calmly.
Seeing Zhang Guifa lowering his head, Officer Wang quickly asked: "Zhang Guifa, let me ask you now, do you recognize Hu Zhe?"
Zhang Guifa didn't say anything, but by now, Zhang Guifa knew very well that the police had already grasped everything.
So Zhang Guifa nodded silently.
"So we know each other? That's good. At least you dare to admit it now." After a short pause, Officer Wang asked again:
"Then how did you and Hu Zhe meet? It was during your daughter's band's event, and you were there, right?"
"That's right." Seeing that the clues obtained by the police were indeed quite detailed, Zhang Guifa didn't want to hide anything? He responded straightforwardly.
"In other words, your daughter did not have any contact with you at that event, but you found your daughter's friend Hu Zhe, and then established contact with Hu Zhe, and indirectly funded your daughter's band through Hu Zhe. This is how it is
"?" Officer Wang said.
Zhang Guifa still nodded slowly and couldn't help but said: "That's about it. I was at the event that day and saw my daughter whom I hadn't seen for a long time."
"I saw that she was looking very haggard, and I also learned that her metal band is now at risk of disbanding."
"And I know that my daughter has loved music since she was a child and has a musical dream."
"I already owe her a lot in terms of my family, and I want to make up for my debt to her by supporting her musical dream."
Having said this, Zhang Guifa blinked, raised his head, sniffed, and tried to control his sad emotions.
Gu Chen continued: "Go on, how did you establish contact with Hu Zhe?"
"Yeah." After hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhang Guifa nodded slightly and couldn't help but say:
"Because I have no way of understanding my daughter's goings-on, my daughter Zhang Ying also hates me to this day because of my divorce from her mother."
"So, through that event, I got Hu Zicic's contact information."
"I will have tea with Vujicic, and then learn about my daughter's current status through him."
"I asked Hu Zhe not to tell Zhang Ying that I took the initiative to contact Hu Zhe, and he agreed."
"But they also asked me to help their band, because this metal band has long been overwhelmed and has been consuming everyone's money bags and energy."
Having said this, Zhang Guifa took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"What happened next?" Yuan Shasha asked.
"Later?" Zhang Guifa hesitated for a moment, then slowly said:
"Later, I accepted Vujicic's suggestion and provided financial help to Vujicic, allowing him to help the metal band in his own name."
"This metal band was able to survive forever, but the good times did not last long. Due to poor business management, the capital chain was seriously broken."
"Even in my most difficult time, I still didn't forget to support this metal band."
"Then how did you ask Hu Zhe to do things for you? Let him help you rent a warehouse?" Officer Wang also wanted to find out other transactions between Hu Zhe and Zhang Guifa.
At this moment, Zhang Guifa no longer concealed anything, but said straightforwardly:
"Actually, when I encountered difficulties, I came into contact with the contraband industry chain, and I wanted to get some working capital through temporary compromise."
"After all, the partner at the other end promised that as long as I provide them with sales channels, I can open up the money bag."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "They can help me with the resurgence of my company, which is nothing more than solving the financial problem."
"They were even willing to give me a low-interest loan in advance so that I could recover."
"What about the facts?" Gu Chen asked.
Zhang Guifa sighed quietly, and then said: "The fact is that they have indeed fulfilled their promise and allowed my company to receive capital injection, so that I can recover."
"But I also know that I have opened Panora's box. Once opened, it will be difficult to go back."
"The reason why they are willing to help me is just to lure me into the business and become their sales channel."
"But I know that doing this will cause problems sooner or later. Those people in the past can no longer be used by me. I need a new person, and someone I trust absolutely to handle these things for me."
"So you thought of Hu Zhe?" Gu Chen asked.
"Yes." Zhang Guifa nodded silently and confirmed, "I thought of Hu Zhe."
"First of all, I financed their metal band through Vujicic, and he helped me do a good job."
"Moreover, he has been tight-lipped and has not leaked all this."
"And when I came into contact with Hu Zhe, I often invited him to dinner, and I began to slowly observe Hu Zhe as a person."
"I felt that he should be able to be of use to me, and I was also looking for someone at the time, and I needed such a person."
Having said this, Zhang Guifa also took a deep breath and said slowly:
"That's it, I pulled Hu Zicic into the trap and promised to give him a high reward."
"I know that this guy is also interested in my daughter, but he has never dared to say it."
"I promise him to do things for me. In the future, I will bring him together with my daughter and make him my son-in-law and the successor of my entire business empire."
"After all, I only have one daughter. Sooner or later, the business empire I built will be handed over to my daughter."
"Do you really think so?" Lu Weiwei was also very curious after listening to Zhang Guifa's words.
But Zhang Guifa smiled and shook his head, denying: "Of course it's not true."
"Is this guy Vujicic? He is also worthy of my daughter? Are you kidding me? I'm just using him."
"This silly boy really thinks that I really want him to be my son-in-law. Does he really think that all my wealth will eventually end up in his hands?"
"I also feel that everything I am doing now is just to work for him."
Shaking his head, Zhang Guifa also smiled helplessly: "I can only say that this Hu Zhe is too stupid and naive, and has no idea that he is not the material at all."
