I am a super cop

She sniffed the man's scent and looked around the room. Various wine bottles were scattered all over the floor. Lu Weiwei looked disgusted and thought to herself that he was just a drunkard.

"Then go and save your face." Lu Weiwei said unhappily.

"Oh." Following Lu Weiwei's advice, Maozi immediately went back into the house and started washing his face with tap water in front of the sink.

At this moment, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, who were still searching downstairs, also rushed over after hearing the noise.

After listening to Gu Chen's explanation, I realized that Maozi seemed to have not yet recovered from his drunken state.

"This guy can drink a lot. There are bottles of wine everywhere in this place." Officer Wang walked into the room. Since this was an old dormitory, the bedroom was the first thing he saw. There was only a double bed, and the upper bunk was full of miscellaneous items.

Inside the room, all kinds of debris were scattered around in a mess.

The wine bottles were scattered in the corner. At a glance, there were at least dozens of them.

Going further in, there is a small balcony with a sink, and further in is the toilet.

After Maozi washed himself with the tap water from the sink, he seemed to be a little more sober.

Lu Weiwei stood behind him and asked, "How is it?"

"It feels so good." Maozi rubbed his face with water, then turned off the faucet and rubbed his face a few times with a yellowed towel hanging on the balcony. Then he came to the crowd.

"Maozi." Officer Wang looked at Maozi and sized him up before asking, "Do you know this person?"

Officer Wang picked up his cell phone and showed a photo, which was exactly the same as the one Gu Chen had just shown.

Maozi continued to squint and said with a smile: "I don't know him."

"Are you kidding me? Don't you know this person?" Yuan Shasha saw that Maozi seemed to be lying on purpose, and she said unhappily:
"If I don't know him, how could you be in the same KTV room with him?"

"Uh……"

It seemed that he was asked a key question. Maozi originally wanted to refute it, but suddenly realized that these policemen seemed difficult to fool.

So the relationship between me and that person was also known by these policemen?
"Speak? What? Have you become mute? Weren't you quite talkative just now?" Seeing that Maozi was speechless at the moment, Lu Weiwei continued to urge him.

Maozi smiled awkwardly, scratched the back of his head, and said without hesitation:

"Oh, it's him? He's just a friend I met at the casino. We both happened to be free, so we just got together. That's nothing, right?"

"Nothing? Did you know that this person is dead?" Officer Wang said unhappily.

But as soon as the words fell, Maozi was stunned and said at a loss:
"You...what did you say? That person died? How did he die?"

With a look of fear in his eyes, Maozi was really panicked at this moment.

Lu Weiwei also sighed, and then continued: "He was poisoned to death. You had contact with him before he died, so you should know something about him, right?"

"No, no, I don't understand, I really don't understand." Maozi seemed a little scared, his voice began to tremble, and he looked like he had lost his soul.

This made everyone a little confused, and they looked at each other.

Gu Chen also took a step forward and continued to ask: "Were you with the deceased in the KTV room that day?"

"I..." He looked up at Gu Chen. Seeing Gu Chen's serious expression, Mao Zi could only nod and admit, "No...Yes, I was with this person that day."

"Didn't you say you were just friends with him? Why did you think of inviting him over? Was it just to sing? Did you do anything else? For example, to discuss something?"

Gu Chen was also guiding Maozi to tell him what happened that day.

But at this moment, Maozi seemed to be extremely nervous. He had been shaking since Gu Chen was talking, as if he was afraid.

When Gu Chen finished speaking, Maozi seemed not to have heard it at all, and looked a little dazed.

"I'm asking you a question!" Seeing Maozi's attitude, Lu Weiwei frowned slightly and urged him.

"Ah?" Maozi trembled, and finally recovered from his panic. He quickly replied:

"Oh, I, I'm not familiar with that person at all, but that day, someone asked me to date him."

"Did someone else ask you to make an appointment with him, or did you make an appointment with him yourself?" Gu Chen saw that Maozi's eyes were a little evasive, and he seemed to sense Maozi's panic at the moment.

"It's someone else." Maozi said panicked.

"Who asked you to make an appointment with him?" Yuan Shasha asked again.

"I don't know." Maozi shook his head.

Officer Wang frowned: "Are you kidding us?"

"No, no." Seeing that he had angered the policeman, Maozi quickly waved his hands to explain:
"I didn't. I didn't play a joke on you. I really don't know who this person is. But he left me some money and asked me to date this person."

Seeing that Maozi seemed to be speaking with a certain tone, Gu Chen saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so he decided to continue testing him and said:

"How did you get in touch with this upline?"

"Just, gambling, you know, that kind of small underground casino, very secretive, usually a group of people gather there."

"I lost a lot of money in that underground casino that day. When I was worried about having no chips, a waiter came over and gave me some chips."

"Just... give it directly? The casino lent it to you?" After hearing this explanation, Lu Weiwei seemed to only be able to guess this result.

But Maozi shook his head: "To be precise, these chips were given to me by a mysterious person who asked the waiter to give them to me. He said that they were for me and I didn't need to pay them back whether I won or lost."

"Is there such a good thing? Are you dreaming? Are you still drunk?" After hearing what Maozi said, Officer Wang felt that this guy was talking nonsense.

But Gu Chen waved his hand to interrupt Officer Wang and continued to ask Mao Zi: "Why did that person give you the chips?"

"I don't know." Maozi shook his head.

"Look into my eyes." Seeing this, Gu Chen reminded again.

Maozi didn't dare to disobey and could only stare into Gu Chen's eyes. Under Gu Chen's sharp eyes, Maozi soon dared not look him in the eye.

"Now tell me, why did that person give you chips for no reason?"

"Of course he wants me to help him." At this moment, Maozi still couldn't stand Gu Chen's sharp eyes, so he told the truth.

So Gu Chen continued to ask: "What did he ask you to do?"

"I didn't know at first." Maozi sat up straight, scratched his head, and said after thinking carefully:
"I feel like I got some extra chips for no reason, and I don't have to pay them back. This is a bargain that I would miss if I didn't take advantage of."

"So I used that chip to win big in the underground casino, and soon won back all the money I lost before, and made a lot of money." When talking about this, Maozi sighed and said with emotion:
"I felt that I was lucky at the time, thinking that I had met a noble person, but after all, the chips were given by others. After making money, I wanted to return it to others as soon as possible and not owe them anything."

"Do you still know how to repay kindness?" After hearing Maozi say this, Officer Wang couldn't help but say a few words in a sarcastic way.

But Maozi quickly retorted: "Don't underestimate me, I am also a person who knows how to repay kindness."

"Not only did I have to return the money for the chips to the other party, I also had to give him some more chips as interest to make up for my original investment."

"But I couldn't find this person, and the casino staff didn't know either."

Speaking of this, Maozi couldn't help but sigh and continued:

"So there's nothing I can do. If I can't find anyone, I'll just treat it as pie in the sky."

"But I know this could be a trap, so I don't want to owe anyone a favor."

"I was thinking about making more money, but this guy suddenly jumped out and said that the money I earned before I broke even was from him. Then he asked for more benefits. What should I do?"

"So that's why you want to find this person as soon as possible?" said Officer Wang.

"Yes." Maozi nodded vigorously and continued, "But since then, that guy seemed to have disappeared. Until one day, when I was sleeping on the bed in this room, my cell phone suddenly rang."

"I was half asleep at the time, so I answered the phone and asked who was on the other end?"

"But at this time, a strange reply came from my phone. The man asked me if I had fun playing with the chips that day."

"I knew something was wrong the moment I heard it, and I quickly guessed that this person was the one who lent me the chips that day."

"So I just sat up quickly, I just sat up like that."

While speaking, Maozi was demonstrating live beside the bed, sitting directly on one side and continuing:

"I said, hey, thank you brother, thank you for your help that day. I said I did make a small profit that day, and I can give him a reward."

"After all, the chips for the comeback were given by someone else. According to the rules, you have to give some."

"Is this person here to ask for money?" Yuan Shasha asked.

"Not really." Maozi waved his hand and continued to explain:
"This person came to me specifically to do something for me, so I knew that the chips were not easy for me to take. I felt that the other party might take the opportunity to blackmail me."

"What about the facts?" Officer Wang asked again.

Maozi took a deep breath and said slowly, "In fact, he just wanted me to do him a favor. He asked me to help contact a hotel staff."

"Is it the deceased?" Hearing this, Lu Weiwei asked hurriedly.

Maozi nodded silently and said without hesitation: "Although I don't know what he wants to do, I don't feel comfortable taking this money."

"I didn't even know what the other person looked like, but I received the chips from him."

"I know the saying that there is no reward without merit, but I feel that this guy must want to take advantage of me."

"I never really understood what he wanted to use me for. My life is a complete failure. What can I use him for?"

"But later I found out that this guy just wanted me to help him find an electrician to work in the hotel."

At this point, Maozi was still a little angry, and said unhappily: "Just to find someone, I was confused at the time. I said, brother, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"If he had told me earlier, I wouldn't have to worry for so many days. I didn't even know who the other person was, which made me feel uneasy."

"But after communicating with him in detail, I found out that he just wanted me to meet someone at a KTV."

"In other words, you booked the private room?" Yuan Shasha asked.

Maozi nodded silently: "Yes, but the money was not paid by me, but by the other party."

"I am just a broker, acting as a middleman. I do whatever he asks me to do. As long as I am paid, it's fine."

With a deep sigh, Maozi said with a complicated expression: "So, I really don't know how important the deceased is to this person?"

"Anyway, I'm just an errand boy, and I just felt like I was helping to find someone, so I agreed."

"Then, I found a way to contact the deceased and asked him to go to KTV in the evening."

"What about the other person?" Gu Chen asked again.

After all, Gu Chen saw it with his own eyes that there were three people in the private room.

In addition to the hotel electrician who had died of poisoning, there was another man, the one Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong were investigating.

Seeing that he could not hide it from the police, Maozi explained:
"There was another person, whom I didn't know, but he said he also received a mysterious phone call."

"I asked him if he gave you any benefits. He didn't tell me, but just said he came to KTV."

"I was quite puzzled at the time. I couldn't understand what that guy wanted to do. Why did he invite me and him to the private room in the same way?"

"Then the deceased showed up. He arrived later than both of us, so the man and I already had a general idea of ​​the situation."

"After the deceased came to your room, what did you discuss?"

"Uh……"

After hesitating for a moment, Maozi seemed a little worried.

But Officer Wang was not used to such tempers, and asked directly: "I'm asking you a question? What did you discuss at that time?"

"That's right, someone wants to cooperate with him, and asked us two to be the middlemen, so that we can convince him, and then leave him some money and a note."

"That's it. You didn't doubt anything?" When Gu Chen heard this, he was also disappointed by the carelessness of this Russian guy.

But Maozi said meaningfully: "In fact, we really don't know who the boss behind this is? We also don't know why they chose me and another person?"

"But the money, or the kickback, was brought by that person and directly handed over to the hotel electrician."

Maozi raised his head and thought for a moment, then continued to explain: "I remember that I gave him 20,000 yuan as a gift for meeting you."

"And the 20,000 yuan was brought here by someone else, who was asked by the mysterious person behind the scenes."
