I am a super cop

Chapter 2871 The Victim Who Did Not Return Home

In Fu Junkai's opinion, as long as the money he was defrauded of can be recovered, it doesn't matter if it's more or less. What matters is that the money is recovered.

It's like going to the gambling table and losing everything you have.

But the result is that the money you lost is recovered again. Who wouldn't be happy?

Officer Wang also coughed twice and reminded, "Fu Junkai, I have something ugly to say first."

"I know, I know." After hearing what Officer Wang said, Fu Junkai immediately responded before he could speak:
"I will never gamble again. This time I was careless and was fooled by these people. I lost my way."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Junkai immediately raised his hand and swore: "But I swear, this is the last time, I will never participate in this kind of activity again."

"You must remember what you say now." Lu Weiwei said unhappily.

Fu Junkai immediately agreed: "That's for sure. I originally wanted to play with them for a few dollars, but under their guidance, I ended up losing all the money I earned."

"But I swear I will never gamble again."

"Okay." Gu Chen heard Fu Junkai's words and pointed to the signature position on the form, reminding him, "Sign your name."

"Ah." Upon hearing this, Fu Junkai quickly wrote his name, looked up at Gu Chen, and asked:
"Then Officer Gu, when can I get my own money? After all, I still have to pay for the meal in the cafeteria."

"There's no rush for this. I said we'll deal with it after the other victims confirm the amount."

"We will notify you when we have the results. You can also temporarily live in the police dormitory for the next few days." Gu Chen said.

"Oh, thank you so much, Officer Gu." After he finished speaking, Fu Junkai looked at the other people and quickly thanked them, saying, "I also want to thank all the police comrades. Thank you."

At the end of his speech, Fu Junkai quickly bowed to thank everyone.

It seemed like I had won the lottery, I was so excited.

After exchanging a few words with everyone, he returned to the police dormitory.

Seeing this scene, He Junchao couldn't help but complain: "This Fu Junkai is lucky to have met you, Gu Chen, otherwise he would probably still be eating instant noodles in a rental house in Hangzhou."

"It just so happened that I came across this. Otherwise, I wouldn't know that there are such groups that harm people in these towns." Gu Chen sighed softly and couldn't help but sigh:

"By the way, remember to ask the town's leading officials to take care of Chen Jun's old mother and tell them that Chen Jun will be working outside for a while."

"Well, I've already contacted them and they will handle it." Yuan Shasha said.

……

……

Afterwards, on the same day, almost all the victims rushed to the Furong Branch and filled in the amount of money they had been defrauded of.

Everyone is happy. After all, it is the New Year and everyone stays at home, wanting to have a good year. But the money in their pockets is gone, which is very heartbreaking.

Fortunately, the police cracked down on this fraud gang and recovered everyone’s money. Who wouldn’t be happy?

The haze of the past was swept away.

"Thank you, police officers. Thank you. Thank you so much. Without you, I really don't know what I would do. Oh, a thousand words, thank you so much."

The tall and thin victim clasped his hands together and bowed twice to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen also reminded: "Remember not to gamble again in the future."

"I understand. I will definitely keep the police comrades' teachings in mind and never gamble again." The tall and thin victim nodded vigorously, and after signing, he left happily.

Looking at the victim's back as he left, Lu Weiwei yawned a few times and turned to ask Gu Chen, "Junior Brother Gu, is this the last victim?"

"Not really. There is another person named Zhao Xiaochuan, but I still can't get through to him on the phone." Gu Chen said.

"Ah? Zhao Xiaochuan? It's New Year's Day, and your phone is still turned off?" Lu Weiwei was a little confused.

Yuan Shasha explained: "Maybe the phone is out of service?"

"No, it's turned off." Gu Chen said.

"Okay, then call a few more times. If you don't turn it on today, you'll have to turn it on tomorrow."

After thinking for a while, Yuan Shasha quickly looked at Gu Chen and asked, "By the way, Senior Brother Gu, how much money was defrauded of Zhao Xiaochuan?"

"As of now, apart from the registered and verified victims, plus the total amount confessed by this gang, after deducting these amounts, there is still about 56000 yuan left."

"If the amount of money Zhao Xiaochuan was defrauded of is this much, then all the verification work can be completed."

"The key is that we can't contact this person." Officer Wang also spread his hands and said helplessly:

"This guy wants us to delay the work until tomorrow, even though we could have finished it today."

"Maybe they have their own things to do. Let's check it out tomorrow. If the verified amount is correct, then we will return the money to them." Gu Chen said.

"That's the only way." Officer Wang stood up, tugged at his shirt, and said, "It's time to get off work, are you going to leave?"

"Let's go and eat." Lu Weiwei also quickly stood up.

Then everyone simply tidied up the documents on the table in the office, then went downstairs together and rushed to the cafeteria.

……

……

The next morning, 10 o'clock.

When Yuan Shasha called Zhao Xiaochuan again and again, but still no one turned on the phone, Yuan Shasha was a little speechless and quickly looked at Gu Chen and said:
"Brother Gu, Zhao Xiaochuan's phone is still turned off. I don't know what he is doing?"

"Still turned off?" Upon hearing this result, Gu Chen frowned and said:

"If the amount he was defrauded of cannot be verified, then the amount registered by other victims cannot be finalized."

Standing up, Gu Chen walked back and forth twice and said:

"How about we go to Zhao Xiaochuan's house and take a look? It's New Year's Day, so he should be at home."

"Besides, his phone number was provided by this fraud gang. Maybe they have other contact information."

"But the contact information he registered is this turned-off mobile phone number." He Junchao, who was standing by, also reminded him when he heard this.

Gu Chen nodded silently and said without further ado, "He may have registered using this powered-off phone number, but he normally uses another phone."

"It's possible." Officer Wang also agreed with this statement and echoed:
"If we can't contact Zhao Xiaochuan, then we can go find him ourselves and finish this job."

"All the previous work has been completed, and this last one is left. It's quite uncomfortable to leave it here without solving it." "Okay." Hearing this, Gu Chen also picked up the scattered documents and put them into the file bag. He looked at Lu Weiwei and said:

"Sister Lu, please accompany me. I can also go and learn more about Zhao Xiaochuan and see what his situation is."

"Okay." Lu Weiwei stood up immediately after hearing this, went to get the police equipment, and said quickly:
"Let's go now."

"Okay, let's go now." Gu Chen had no intention of stalling for time. He just wanted to solve the case quickly.

So he went downstairs and drove there according to the address provided by the criminal gang and the location confirmed by He Junchao.

……

……

It was 11:50 am, just in time for lunch.

Seeing that they were about to reach their destination, Lu Weiwei also smiled and said:
"It's almost lunch time. If we help Zhao Xiaochuan get back the money he was defrauded of, he might be so happy that he'll ask us to stay for lunch."

"Well, it's possible." Gu Chen, who was driving, also smiled slightly. He felt that this possibility was very high, but Gu Chen had no intention of eating for free.

The vehicle drove through the small town and then turned left onto a country road.

We continued driving along this path and soon saw a village.

The village doesn't seem to be very big, and the houses are arranged rather scattered.

In the middle are some dilapidated old houses, and around the old houses are some newly built houses.

Gu Chen parked the car in a small square, got out of the car, and began to look for villagers.

"Strange, there doesn't seem to be many residents in this village?" Gu Chen looked around and didn't see any villagers passing by.

"It seems like someone is cooking over there. I smell the aroma of braised pork." Lu Weiwei has a sensitive nose and soon smelled the aroma of braised pork.

Gu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Then let's go over there and take a look."

"Okay." Lu Weiwei happily walked side by side with Gu Chen.

The two of them were also carrying a portable non-woven bag and walked directly towards the family who was cooking.

Seeing smoke coming out of the range hood in the kitchen of a house, Gu Chen hurried forward and walked into the yard:
"Is anyone there?" Gu Chen asked.

The person who was cooking in the kitchen suddenly stopped and quickly stuck his head out.

When seeing Gu Chen and the other man in police uniforms, a middle-aged woman asked curiously, "Police comrade, who are you looking for?"

"Does Zhao Xiaochuan live in this village?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"Zhao Xiaochuan? Yes, his family lives in this village, in that house over there." The middle-aged woman pointed to a building not far away.

"Oh, is Zhao Xiaochuan at home?" Lu Weiwei turned her head to take a look and continued to ask.

"It seems like you didn't go home for the New Year." said the middle-aged woman.

"Didn't go home? No way?" Hearing this answer, Lu Weiwei's heart skipped a beat.

The middle-aged woman continued, "Yes, I didn't see him during the Chinese New Year. He probably didn't go home for the New Year."

"Are you sure?" Gu Chen was not sure either, so he asked again.

The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment, and after a brief thought, she nodded and replied, "Well, he probably didn't go home for the New Year. Anyway, I didn't see him during the New Year."

"Will he stay at home all the time and not go out?" Lu Weiwei also gave a hypothesis.

The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "You can find out if you go to their house and ask."

As soon as she finished speaking, the middle-aged woman seemed to smell the smell of burning food in the kitchen. She screamed and said as she ran, "My braised pork is going to burn."

Seeing the middle-aged woman return to the kitchen to busy herself, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, and then walked towards Zhao Xiaochuan's house.

At this moment, a middle-aged couple was having dinner in the living room. When they saw Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei coming over, they were both confused.

The middle-aged man quickly stood up and asked, "Who are you..."

"I, we are from the Furong Branch of the Jiangnan City Public Security Bureau. Excuse me, is this Zhao Xiaochuan's home?" Gu Chen also quickly introduced himself and asked.

When the middle-aged man heard this, his heart skipped a beat and his face suddenly turned ugly.

He couldn't help but look at his wife and the middle-aged woman, who was also panicked at the moment.

Lu Weiwei noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so she quickly asked, "What's wrong? Isn't this Zhao Xiaochuan's home?"

"Uh, police comrade, has Zhao Xiaochuan committed any crime?" The middle-aged woman did not respond to Lu Weiwei's question, but asked about Zhao Xiaochuan's situation.

When Lu Weiwei saw this, she finally realized that the couple felt that Zhao Xiaochuan was in trouble, so they asked this question.

Lu Weiwei grinned and quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, Zhao Xiaochuan didn't cause any trouble. He just participated in gambling during the Chinese New Year and was defrauded of tens of thousands of dollars by a group of scammers."

"What? Being cheated out of tens of thousands of dollars? And gambling?" The middle-aged man was also confused when he heard it.

He quickly glanced at his wife, then at Gu Chen, and asked, "Comrade police, where was he defrauded of tens of thousands of dollars?"

"It's in the next town." Lu Weiwei said quickly.

"In the next town? That's impossible. My son never came back during the Chinese New Year." The middle-aged man became more and more confused as he listened.

His words made Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen fall into deep thought.

Lu Weiwei also snorted and laughed, "Uncle, don't joke with us. How could he not go home for the New Year? Why is he not going home for the New Year? Is he still staying out?"

After the words fell, Lu Weiwei justified herself: "Oh, he must live in his own house, and his house must not be here, right?"

"Oh!" After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, the middle-aged man quickly denied it:

"How can he have his own house? This is his home, his room, on the second floor. He has not even been back during the Chinese New Year."

"He didn't come back? What happened? But he was clearly defrauded of tens of thousands of yuan a few days before New Year's Eve." Gu Chen also felt unbelievable.

The middle-aged woman was also puzzled: "Could it be that he really went home? But how come we didn't know?"

After the voice fell, the middle-aged woman looked at her husband again and said without hesitation:
"My son came back, so why didn't he tell us? And why didn't he answer the phone?"

"How would I know that?" The middle-aged man also spread his hands, as if the couple had no idea that their son Zhao Xiaochuan had ever returned home.

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei became more and more confused the more they listened, and looked at each other, wondering why things were becoming more and more weird.
