Feeling that Gu Chen was not interesting enough, Liu Ge also laughed dryly and took the initiative to find a topic to resolve the embarrassment: "You can't doubt me just because I am a foreigner, right? I am a foreigner and am I wrong?"
"It was true in the past, but in extraordinary times, your identity has natural flaws." Lu Weiwei also had something to say.
Liu Ge was a little dissatisfied and said: "But I really don't know the situation in the canyon. Moreover, I didn't go into the mountain in the past few days when the incident happened. I just went to the town for a walk."
"You can't think there's something wrong with me just because of this, right? It's not fair."
"Fair? Of course we will treat you fairly, but in this matter, we also like you to cooperate with us in the investigation." Gu Chen seemed a little panicked when he saw Liu Ge.
It feels like the preliminary preparations are almost complete, and it’s time to ask some key questions.
So Gu Chen asked: "Liu Ge, let me ask you, have you always lived alone? Do you have any friends?"
"Yes, I have always lived alone, friend? Of course, there are some." Faced with Gu Chen's question, Liu Ge also told the truth.
So Gu Chen asked again: "Which friends do we keep in touch with frequently? I mean, we have relatively good relationships."
"A good relationship? There is no close relationship, just ordinary friends." Liu Ge thought for a long time and answered some questions.
Lu Weiwei also smiled dryly and said: "So, you don't socialize every day? Then let me change the question, who are the people you have been in contact with frequently recently?"
"No." Liu Ge shook his head.
"Not even this? You don't have contact with people in the village?" Lu Weiwei was very curious and felt that Liu Ge's answer was too perfunctory.
But Liu Ge also said slowly: "When the villagers first moved here, they would walk more with them because there are many things that need their help, including decorating the house I rented."
"But later on, I got tired of contacting these people every day, so I didn't take the initiative to socialize with them."
"Most of the time, I stay alone in my yard. Of course, they occasionally come back to chat with me, but I usually don't go out of the yard."
"Drink tea with them in the yard, chat, etc."
When Liu Ge finished speaking, Gu Chen suddenly stood up, looked at the surrounding environment, and asked, "Can I visit your home?"
"Haha, comrade police, look at what you said. If you want to search, just say it. I'm not a stingy person, so you don't have to beat around the bush with me." Liu Ge seemed to understand what Gu Chen meant.
With Liu Ge's acquiescence, Gu Chen began to check suspicious items in the room.
But after all, this was a private residence, so Gu Chen could only walk around and look for some clues to verify whether what Liu Ge said was true.
Lu Weiwei stayed in the living room and continued chatting with Liu Ge, also to restrain Liu Ge so that Gu Chen could search with peace of mind.
Gu Chen first checked Liu Ge's bedroom.
It can be said that it is still quite messy. Although the yard is very clean and refreshing, the bedroom is a mess.
Gu Chen also checked briefly and then went to other rooms.
As for the other bedroom, when Gu Chen opened the door, he felt that someone had lived here before, and the traces of various residences were still very obvious.
Moreover, according to villagers, Liu Ge lives alone and has no relatives.
But in this second bedroom, there is a bed, which is obviously for guests.
But who is this person? Liu Ge can’t take turns sleeping in the master bedroom and the second bedroom, right?
Thinking of this, Gu Chen immediately began to check various items in the second bedroom. It was almost the same configuration as the master bedroom, but a pair of outdoor shoes still caught Gu Chen's attention.
Gu Chen carefully observed Liu Ge and found that the shoe size he wore was usually around size 44, but this pair of outdoor shoes was only size 40, which did not match Liu Ge's shoe size at all.
Coupled with the signs that someone had lived in the house, Gu Chen quickly suspected that someone might have lived here and temporarily left the shoes he wore at Liu Ge's house.
"Who could it be?" Gu Chen frowned and continued to check other details of the house.
But soon, Gu Chen found some hair on the floor at the head of the bed.
Gu Chen knelt down and picked up his hair, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Liu Ge has short hair, but this one has long hair, but it's not a woman's long hair. It's obvious that he is a person with longer hair who once lived here."
"And wearing size 40 shoes, my height should be around 170."
"For Liu Ge, he is not the same person at all, so why does Liu Ge say that he has always lived here alone? Is Liu Ge obviously lying?"
After finding out this, Gu Chen also felt that Liu Ge was actually hiding something from him.
So Gu Chen quickly picked up the hair on the ground, wrapped it in tissue and put it in his pocket.
Afterwards, Gu Chen made various checks in the room and found no other abnormalities. Then he packed the pair of shoes in a transparent evidence bag and brought them directly to you in the living room.
When Liu Ge saw Gu Chen coming out with a pair of outdoor shoes, he was stunned for a moment.
"Whose shoes are these?" Gu Chen walked up and asked.
"Uh..." Liu Ge was suddenly speechless.
"Didn't you say you live here alone? But what's going on with these shoes?" Gu Chen also seized on this loophole and began to criticize Liu Ge.
This suddenly made Liu Ge very uncomfortable, and he didn't know how to answer Gu Chen's question for a while.
Lu Weiwei also quickly asked: "What happened to your shoes? Has anyone lived in your house?"
"Uh, this..."
After thinking again and again, Liu Ge seemed to be unable to bear the pressure, so he could only nod silently: "Yes, a friend came here before. He mainly came to see me to see my current situation."
"What kind of friend?" Gu Chen asked again.
"We used to ride motorcycles together," Liu Ge said.
"Then he came to the village, do the villagers know?" Gu Chen asked again.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Ge shook his head: "I don't know, do you know? The day he came, he came to the town, then called me, and I went there on a motorcycle.
Pick him up."
"When I came back, it was afternoon and there weren't many people in the village."
"Then he stayed at my house and ate and drank together."
"He stayed at my house for two days, and I sent him away. The villagers probably didn't see him, right? Or maybe they did, but no one asked me, so I didn't bother to say anything."
"What's the name of your friend? When did he come here?" Gu Chen quickly asked.
Liu Ge scratched the back of his head and said thoughtfully: "About half a month ago? It seems like half a month ago."
"Specific time." Gu Chen continued to remind.
Liu Ge took a deep breath and continued to think about it: "About 15 days ago, this guy came from the plateau, and his skin was a little tanned."
"What else? What does he look like? What is his name? Where is he from? Do you know his identity information?" Gu Chen also continued to ask, not giving Liu Ge time to think.
Liu Ge also sighed in embarrassment and said slowly: "He is thin and looks like he has a lean body type after all."
"He likes to climb mountains?" Gu Chen asked immediately after hearing this.
"Yes." Liu Ge also nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "This guy is very good at climbing mountains. He used to play outdoors, but he only started riding motorcycles in the past two years."
"What's it called?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"Zhang Bing, the ice in the world of ice and snow." Liu Ge explained.
"Where are you from?" Gu Chen continued to ask.
Liu Ge scratched the back of his head and said slowly: "It's over in Sichuan Province, in Western Sichuan. I've lived there since I was a child, so I'm pretty good at climbing mountains, especially snow-capped mountains."
Taking a deep breath, Liu Ge added: "Anyway, he just came here for two days and then left, and I didn't keep him. After all, he didn't come here specifically to see me."
"It's because he wanted to come here to find friends, so he asked to stop by my place."
"He still has friends here?" Lu Weiwei immediately became alert when she heard this.
But Liu Ge said slowly: "I don't know the specifics. He just said he came here to find friends. Then his motorcycle seemed to be broken. I heard that it was a car accident on the road. It will take time to repair."
"So when he came over that day, he didn't ride a bike. I went to the town to pick him up and stay with him for two days."
"Because on the third day, someone from the repair shop contacted him and asked him to pick up the car, and then he left."
"Then why didn't you tell me before?" Gu Chen asked curiously after hearing this.
But Liu Ge said with a bitter face: "Didn't I tell you before? You are so strict in the investigation. If I say this, you will definitely put the target of suspicion on me."
With a faint sigh, Liu Ge also sighed helplessly: "I have more things to do than less things to do. If you don't ask, I won't tell you."
"Besides, if he stayed for two days and then left, it wouldn't be of any help to your case investigation, and I would save myself trouble."
"If you don't explain clearly, you are causing trouble for us." Seeing that Liu Ge seemed to be a little emotional, Lu Weiwei also talked about the matter.
Later, Gu Chen roughly filtered Zhang Bing's situation based on Liu Ge's dictation.
Only then did I discover that this man named Zhang Bing was once a mountaineering guide in Sichuan Province.
However, while taking a client to climb a snow-capped mountain, I got into an argument with the client and ended up leaving the client in the mountain and went down the mountain alone. As a result, the client got lost on the way down the mountain and ended up accidentally falling down the mountain.
Unexpectedly, his foot was broken and his face was disfigured, so the client sued Zhang Bing in anger and exposed it to the public.
Therefore, Zhang Bing lost his job as a guide and began to embark on the road of motorcycle tourism with his savings.
After understanding the situation, Gu Chen asked Liu Ge: "What kind of person do you think this Zhang Bing is?"
"He? He has a bad temper." Liu Ge picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and said:
"He's the kind of person who can't stand a little grievance. I know that client once, and he has a bad temper. It would be really weird for two such people to form a partnership."
"Zhang Bing lost his job because of that incident and was in a bad mood..."
"I mean, his character." Seeing Liu Ge talking about other things, Gu Chen quickly reminded him.
Liu Ge's expression was stunned, but he nodded silently, and then said: "What kind of person is he? Not good? That's just like that anyway, right?"
"You can understand that he is neither a good person nor a bad person."
"What should I say?" Lu Weiwei felt a little conflicted, so she asked again.
Liu Ge also raised his right hand and began to explain to Gu Chen:
"He has been complained about before because he took three people into the mountains and two horses to pull the luggage."
"Those three people all made a temporary appointment online to go hiking together. They are not familiar with each other. They are two men and one woman."
"That woman fell behind a lot of distance because of her poor physical strength."
"And the two men, too, just kept moving forward and were not willing to wait for the female travel companion who was holding them back. As a result, something happened."
"What's going on?" Lu Weiwei felt there was gossip and immediately pricked up her ears to listen.
Liu Ge also sighed and said slowly: "I also heard from friends in the circle, that is to say, the female travel companion walks slowly because of her poor physical strength."
"Then the two male friends didn't visit him very much, and they put a lot of distance between themselves and her."
"As a guide, Zhang Bing happened to have two mules in his hands, both carrying luggage."
"Then the guide said, if you can't walk, you can get on a mule. It just so happens that you don't have much luggage."
"The female traveler said okay, so she prepared to go up. Then, the female traveler later complained that she was violated by this Zhang Bing."
"What? Violated?" Lu Weiwei became more and more confused as she listened, and quickly asked again:
"So direct and bold?"
Liu Ge shook his head: "I don't know either. I heard this from people in the industry. They said that after this female travel companion came back, she sued Zhang Bing."
"Zhang Bing saw that the two male friends didn't care much about the girl, so he asked around and found out that they also formed a temporary team."
"So I had some evil thoughts about this woman. I helped her get on the mule and then took the opportunity to violate her."
"In the end, the woman didn't obey. Zhang Bing said he would kill her if she didn't obey."
"Fortunately, another traveler who came there alone passed by at that time, so the woman asked that traveler for help, and was saved from his murderous hands."
After a pause, Liu Ge continued to explain: "Of course, this is just what the woman said."
"Because the male travel companion was going to another place afterwards, and there was no way to delay the trip, so we asked them to keep their distance."
"Maybe I feel that Zhang Bing is not so bold? But what was the situation at that time? I can't tell."
"What Zhang Bing means is that he was just helping her sit on the mule out of kindness, but he may have accidentally touched some places that she shouldn't have touched."
"Then the woman refused to give up. Anyway, it was a confusing account. In the end, the woman said that she was violated by Zhang Bing or something, but we couldn't tell whether it was true or not."
"Because this is all a woman's one-sided statement, and Zhang Bing has always denied it, we cannot investigate it further."
