I am a super cop

Chapter 1127 Sent From Heaven
Everyone can see Lu Yan's gratitude to the police. For at least 20 years, the police have been paying attention to his cousin's case.

If Gu Chen hadn't rushed to Hehu Township late at night this time, Lu Yan would have almost forgotten that his cousin Lu Jun had been dead for 20 years.

Under everyone's mutual politeness, Lu Yan still accepted the meal fee, and personally sent Gu Chen and the others out of the restaurant.

Looking at the police car with the license plate suffix AE86 disappearing into the night, Lu Yan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It seems that this cousin's case has something to do with it."

On the other side, Gu Chen drove up the mountain, only to realize how difficult this mountain road is.

There are also some small villages along the way, but they are not large in scale. Basically, every village is built according to the terrain.

According to Lu Yan's introduction, drive along this mountain road to the end, and turn left at every fork.

I don't know how long it took to drive. When Gu Chen drove the car to the end, he realized that there was a downhill road in front of him, and at the end of the road was a pond.

On both sides of the entire road, there is a small village.

"It should be here." Gu Chen turned the car around, drove to the top of the hill, pulled the handbrake, and then got out of the car one by one with everyone.

To say that the construction of the new countryside in recent years is indeed very good, and the entire road in the village is full of solar street lights.

Near where Gu Chen parked, he also listened to other vehicles at the same time.

An old man was sitting in front of his house smoking a cigarette, and he was quite surprised to see a police car driving into the village.

Gu Chen walked forward and took the initiative to say hello: "Master, is this the Lu Family Village?"

"Ah?" The old man tilted his head and explained, "Speak up, my ears are not good, so I can't hear clearly."

Gu Chen glanced at the colleagues around him, then took the initiative to walk to the old man, squatted down, approached the old man's ear and said, "Master, is this the Lu Family Village?"

"Lu Family Village?" The old man understood Gu Chen's question now, nodded quickly and said, "That's right, this is Lu Family Village."

"Do you know where Lu Jun's house is?" Gu Chen asked again.

The old man turned around, pointed to an old house in front of him and said, "Lu Jun's house is right there."

"It's that old house, right?" Lu Weiwei leaned over and asked for confirmation.

The old man threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, kicked it on his feet, then waved his hand and said, "Go, I'll take you there."

"Then I will trouble you." Seeing the old man leading the way, Gu Chen and the others followed behind him.

The old man is a little hunchbacked, and he looks like he is in his 80s.

Also leading the way, he asked Gu Chen: "Speaking of police comrades, what are you doing at Lu Jun's house? That child has been dead for 20 years."

"We are here to investigate this case." Gu Chen bowed and said.

The old man couldn't help being taken aback: "You guys are here to investigate Lu Jun's case? But... it's been 20 years? Can you still get results now?"

"You have to give it a try." Gu Chen said.

Hearing the words, the old man also said with emotion: "Actually, it's a pity that Lu Jun is a child. There is a son and a daughter in the family, and there is an old mother who passed away at such a young age."

"In the past few years, I thought about running a black car to earn some money to build a new house, but then something happened, the new house at home couldn't be built, and my wife remarried with a daughter."

"There is only one son and an old mother left in the family. If it weren't for the care of the villagers in the past few years, I don't know what it would be like."

"Is Lu Jun's mother okay now?" Yuan Shasha approached the old man and asked him loudly.

The old man shook his head: "How can it be good? Let's just let it go, my grandson is studying at university now, and she usually stays alone at home, so she often walks around the village, and occasionally takes a car from the same village to go to Hebei. Take a look at Huxiang."

The old man is a chatterbox, once he speaks, he can't stop.

Then he pointed to the small western-style buildings on both sides of the road, and said, "Look, now every household is building small western-style buildings, but Lu Jun's is still an old house."

"If you say that Lu Jun's child will graduate from college in the future, he will probably develop in a big city and will not return to this ravine, so there is no need to renovate this house, and the old woman can live with it."

While speaking, the old man had brought everyone to the gate of the old house.

After crossing a ditch, he knocked on the door directly.

"Who is it?"

There was a response from an old lady in the house.

"It's me, the police are looking for you." The old man said.

Not long after, the door opened, and a thin old woman stood at the door and looked at Gu Chen blankly.

The old man hurriedly introduced: "These are policemen from the city, and they say they want to investigate your son Lu Jun's case."

"You're right. It's been 20 years, and finally the police are here again."

The old man made fun of it, and then said to Gu Chen: "Comrade policeman, this is Lu Jun's mother. If you want to ask her anything, go into the room and chat. I still have something to do at home, so let's not stay here."

"Thank you." Gu Chen expressed his gratitude.

After watching the old man leave with his hands behind his back, Gu Chen saluted Lu Jun's mother, "Hello, I'm Gu Chen, the captain of the criminal investigation team of the Furong Branch. visit yours."

"Come in." The old lady seemed to be indifferent, turned around, walked into the room, and then turned on the headlights in the living room.

Several people walked into the room and looked around.

The old house is of brick and wood structure, and the walls look a little old.

The furniture in the living room is rather rotten, and it looks like it has a certain age.

The old lady poured four glasses of water for several people at the dining table, and then passed it to everyone: "It's hard work for you to come to my house this late in the evening, it's very cold in the mountains, you should wear more clothes. "

"Thank you. We came here by car. There is air conditioning in the car." Lu Weiwei took the steaming water cup and responded with a smile.

The old lady then motioned everyone to sit casually, and she herself sat on a wooden chair with her hands on her knees, looking very reserved.

Gu Chen saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he quickly explained: "Because this time the city has concentrated operations to deal with all the old cases from that year, and our criminal investigation team is investigating the case of your son."

"But because this case spanned 20 years, and we were not handling it back then, so I came here this time. I want to ask you about the situation back then."

"Harmful." The old lady sighed, looked at Gu Chen's immature face, and said indifferently: "You are so young, you should be in your early twenties."

"To calculate, how old should you be 20 years ago?"

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded and admitted, and said with a smile: "But this does not prevent us from investigating the case. We are currently collecting the archived materials from that year. In addition, we need to visit the parties involved."

Speaking of this, Gu Chen didn't forget to mention: "We had dinner at a restaurant in Hehu Township. The boss is Lu Yan, Lu Jun's cousin. He also told us about the situation back then."

"So that's the case?" Thinking of the police coming all the way and meeting Lu Yan, the old lady immediately opened her heart and said, "Actually, we were not prepared for Lu Jun's sudden departure back then."

"At that time, the police's investigation was also clueless. The main reason was that Lu Jun was found in the reservoir, and many clues could not be traced. Therefore, the investigation of the case was delayed again and again, and in the end it was nothing."

"I also went to the police station to ask about the investigation before, but at that time your police told me that the case is under investigation, under investigation, anyway, that's what you say every time you pass by."

"Later, I also wanted to understand that not every case, you police can find the result, maybe my son's death is like this."

Speaking of this, it seemed that she was recalling the sad past again. The old lady sniffed, and her eyes suddenly became moist.

She quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, trying to control her emotions.

Gu Chen nodded silently, and also said lightly: "It was our responsibility that we failed to give you an explanation back then, so we will always be responsible for this case to the end, and we will definitely give your son an explanation."

"Yes." Lu Weiwei also said: "Even if the murderer fled to the ends of the earth, we will definitely find it and let the murderer accept the punishment of the law. Please believe us."

"Of course I want to believe you." Seeing that Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei said it lightly, the old lady still gave up hope: "But this matter has passed for 20 years, and many things have changed. What do you think?" Just ask whatever you ask, as long as I know and remember, I will tell you all."

Gu Chen could tell that the old lady didn't have much hope, after all, time can change a lot.

Then Gu Chen turned on the law enforcement recorder, took out the notebook and asked, "Did your son have any conflicts with anyone in the days before and after the accident?"

"No." The old lady shook her head and said, "My son is quite a dutiful person and never makes enemies with others."

"But I heard from his cousin Lu Yan that he once fought with people and was detained." Although Gu Chen heard something about Lu Jun from Lu Yan, he needed to verify it with the old lady.

The old lady said without reservation: "That's right, there was a group fight, but the driver of the black car, you go and ask, which one doesn't fight? At that time, someone in our Hehu Township was bullied, so everyone joined together to fight with another Negotiations with partners, but the talks did not come to fruition, and a fight broke out."

"My son was foolishly with other people at the time. Many people were arrested by the police who arrived later, and then they were locked up for a few days. But this doesn't explain anything, does it? It was all a long time ago before his accident. gone."

"Even if someone wants to take revenge on him, it's impossible to take revenge a year later, right?"

Gu Chen heard the words and nodded silently: "That is to say, your son Lu Jun had no conflicts with anyone before the accident?"

"No, no, after my son's accident, I asked other black car drivers in my hometown, and they all said that Lu Jun never provoked anyone."

"He drives in his duty every day to make money, and besides, he is a man of duty in his heart. Who is he messing with?"

Gu Chen caught some information and continued to ask: "Old lady, you mean that your son Lu Jun is honest and responsible, right?"

"Yes, since he was a child, this child is not very talkative. He is enthusiastic and looks like an honest person."

"If you want to say who he provoked, I'm sorry, there really isn't one."

"Then maybe the cause of this case was not a vendetta." Police Officer Wang thought for a moment and gave his own opinion.

Lu Weiwei asked: "Old Wang, your opinion is that Lu Jun's death may have been an accidental incident?"

"Probably so." Officer Wang nodded silently, and said flatly, "If you're talking about black car drivers, who do you usually have conflicts with? At most, it's the passengers. If you can't negotiate the price, or you can't agree on an agreement, or you're a competitor."

"But we talked with Lu Jun's cousin, Lu Yan, at the Hehu Township at the foot of the mountain before. The chaotic competitive relationship was at the beginning. After several rounds of negotiations, these black car drivers have actually reached a tacit agreement."

"It's a bit unlikely that there will be another competition for customers, so I think the first possibility is more likely, that is, there is a conflict with passengers, and it may be because of the fare."

"No, my son drives a car and does business, and he always earns conscience money." Fearing that the police might misunderstand, the old lady tried her best to clarify:

"My son drives to solicit customers. He always negotiates the price before leaving. He is innocent and never detours."

"Compared to other people, how can he, who is so honest and responsible, have conflicts with others because of the fare issue? No, absolutely not."

"Old lady." Gu Chen looked up at her and asked, "Can you guarantee that what you said is true?"

"Of course, I guarantee it with my personality." The old lady was firm.

"Okay." Gu Chen nodded silently, and began to think.

But at the same time, considering Lu Jun's specific situation, that is, in the eyes of most people, Lu Jun has always been an honest and responsible person.

But the honest man was killed suddenly and his body sank into the reservoir, what does this mean?
Gu Chen himself gave several possibilities in his mind, that is robbery and murder.

Twenty years ago, when the monitoring network was not well developed, this situation was indeed prone to occur.

Moreover, Gu Chen also got to know a little while chatting with Lu Jun's cousin Lu Yan in Hehu Township at the foot of the mountain.

Most of the locations where Lu Jun ran were urban-rural junctions, that is to say, not in the urban areas, but on the lines between urban areas and towns.

This kind of place is indeed prone to some robberies.

In addition, Lu Jun seems to be honest and responsible, so he can easily become the target of robbery by some people with ulterior motives.

Based on these inferences, Gu Chen first ruled out the possibility of disputes arising from conflicts and further retaliation by others.

Instead, the cause was characterized as the murderer committing the crime by accident.

In this regard, it is consistent with the investigation results of those fellow policemen, that is, there is no possibility of vendetta, and it may be a random crime.

Afterwards, Gu Chen supplemented Lu Jun's specific information based on the old lady's memories, collecting as many useful clues as possible.

But comparing all the clues, it seems that the previous statement was verified, that is, the murderer probably committed the crime randomly, and Lu Jun unfortunately became the random victim.

"Thank you very much for your cooperation." Gu Chen has already obtained a lot of information from the old lady. Although there is not much useful information, it is enough to complete the image of Lu Jun in his mind.

Seeing that Gu Chen and the others wanted to leave, the old lady stood up and asked, "Are you going to leave now? It's getting so late, why don't you stay at my house tonight? I'll get you some quilts."

Seeing that the old lady really wanted to get the quilt in the house, Gu Chen quickly explained: "No, we have to rush to the place where the crime happened, which is the Sanxi Reservoir in Hejiang Town, and visit the locals there to see Have you discovered anything new?"

"Now?" The old lady looked at the time, and it was already 8 o'clock in the evening, and immediately reminded: "Why don't you go another day, it's already 8 o'clock in the evening, and the night in the countryside is very quiet."

"I've counted the time." Gu Chen looked down at his watch, and also took the initiative to explain: "If we set off now and go to the Sanxi Reservoir in Hejiang Town, we may arrive at around 9 o'clock, and we can communicate with the locals, it's not too late .”

Seeing that Gu Chen insisted on going, the old lady suddenly had a sore nose and tears started to fall down.

Seeing this situation, Gu Chen was also stunned, and hurriedly asked: "Old lady, what's wrong with you?"

"Back then... those policemen back then, if you had worked so hard to help my son find the murderer, I wouldn't have complained for so many years. Seeing your hard work, I believe you would have gained something, and you definitely didn't just come here for the show."

"Old lady." Seeing that the old lady was still crying, Lu Weiwei hurriedly comforted her: "Of course we are not going through the motions of investigating the case, and we will definitely do our best. Please rest assured."

"Well." The old lady nodded silently, and said, "If I saw you just came here before, I might not believe it. You are sincerely handling this case, but now it seems that you are indeed handling my case with your heart. I blamed you for my son's case."

"After all, the murderer has been at large for 20 years, and in these 20 years, my son's grievances are difficult to wash away, and my heart..."

Sucking her nose, the old lady was also very sad and said: "The stone in my heart has always been hanging like this."

Looking up at Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, the old lady said again: "I saw you working so hard today. I believe that you will be able to find the murderer who was murdered by God and avenge my son."

Gu Chen patted the old lady on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "Old lady, then you can wait here for our good news. If the murderer is caught, we will notify you as soon as possible."

"Yeah." The old lady nodded silently: "I don't trust others, but I trust you. You look very powerful."

"Haha." Seeing that the old lady finally burst into laughter, Lu Weiwei said amusedly, "You can see that too? Then you are amazing."

Police officer Wang hurriedly said: "It's getting late, we have to set off right away. Besides, old lady, is it convenient to leave a phone number? I can also contact you."

"Hey, ok, my phone number is..."

The old lady hurriedly told everyone her phone number, then she walked to the side of the road and watched Gu Chen and the others drive away.

As soon as the police car left, the small village suddenly became lively.

Many old people walked out of their homes and came near the old lady's door.

"Hey, is there a guest at your house?" said an old man.

The old lady nodded silently, said with a faint smile, "That's right, it's a guest, a guest who came to help my son find the murderer."

"It's been 20 years, and they just came here now, can they do it?" another old man said.

The old lady shook her head: "I don't know, but I feel that they must be able to do it. They may be lucky stars specially sent by the heaven to pity my old lady."

Speaking of this, the old lady looked up at the starry sky, suddenly folded her hands together, closed her eyes and made a wish.
