I am a super cop

Chapter 2872 Stubborn
In the living room, Gu Chen quickly interrupted their argument and asked, "That is to say, you two don't know whether your son has ever come back?"

"Yes." Upon hearing this, the couple nodded in unison.

Gu Chen was a little confused now, and continued to ask: "No way? Your son won't contact you during the New Year?"

"Yes, we will contact each other, but before the New Year this year, we had a quarrel on the phone because of some things, and we thought he was mad and didn't want to come home." The middle-aged man did not give any explanation.

The middle-aged woman also quickly agreed: "Yes, Xiaochuan has a very bad temper, especially in the past few years when he was working outside, it seems that he has been in contact with his family less and less."

"Sometimes we see that he hasn't called home for a long time, so we call him, but he is not very willing to answer."

"Later on, it felt like his temper was getting worse and worse, so sometimes we old couple would say a few more words, and he would end up arguing with us, saying things like he wouldn't come home anymore."

With a sigh, the middle-aged woman continued, "Later, he didn't answer my calls. It's almost the New Year, so I called him and asked him when he would be back."

"As a result, his phone was turned off and he hasn't turned it on since."

At the end of her speech, the middle-aged woman also sighed heavily, as if raising this son was a bit like raising an ungrateful person.

The middle-aged man also sighed and asked Gu Chen: "So, police comrade, what you mean is that my son Xiaochuan has come back? And played cards with others here?"

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently, and said without hesitation: "Your son is playing cards with a few people in the town."

"This group of people are actually specialized in fraud. They don't work during normal times, so they take advantage of the Chinese New Year period to target people who come back from working away from home."

"Then we try to get them into the poker game, from small to large, until all the money of these workers is taken away."

"According to our investigation, your son is also one of the victims. However, we have been able to contact the other victims and determine the amount of money they were defrauded of, but we have been unable to get through to your son."

"How could this happen?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, the middle-aged man suddenly became nervous.

He looked at his wife and said anxiously, "Wife, our son came home but didn't contact us. He didn't come home during the Chinese New Year. Where could he have gone?"

"How should I know? I didn't know my son had returned home. Could it be that because he lost all his money, he was too embarrassed to go home and just left?" The middle-aged woman also raised her own doubts.

Lu Weiwei quickly said, "I say your precious son is really something. During the New Year, he didn't even contact you when he got home, but went to play cards with these people first."

With a heavy sigh, Lu Weiwei shook her head and said:
"Sometimes, I really don't know what Zhao Xiaochuan is thinking. But then again, some of the victims we investigated were too embarrassed to stay at home because they lost all their money."

"Then it changed to starting work early and preparing to return to work. I guess your son thought the same thing at the time."

"I was thinking that since I didn't get along with you two and had arguments, I was thinking of sneaking home and spending a good New Year quietly."

"But in the end, I was asked to play cards again, and I lost all my money."

"Later, I thought about it and was afraid that I would inevitably have another argument with you guys after returning home, so I took the initiative to choose to leave. I was even too embarrassed to turn on the phone, for fear that you would know that he was back."

"Comrade police officer, you are right. My son is indeed a man who cares a lot about his reputation."

"He is like this outside and has a very stubborn personality. The situation you are describing may be my son's current situation."

After the voice fell, the middle-aged man also sighed heavily and said helplessly:
"It's all my fault. We spoiled him too much since he was little. We gave in to him in everything, which led to his current personality."

"I thought he would be successful after graduating from college, but he couldn't find a job right after graduation and encountered setbacks everywhere."

After looking at his lover, the middle-aged man turned to Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei and said:
"Later I said a few words to him, saying that he was reading a bunch of crap books and couldn't even find a job in the end. I don't know if he played games all day at school."

"How can you say that about your own son?" Lu Weiwei said unhappily when she heard it.

The middle-aged man nodded silently: "I know, I really shouldn't have said that at the time, but I was quick-witted and said whatever came to my mind."

"Because he was addicted to games all day long, and after graduation, he couldn't find a job and kept asking his family for money."

"It's been several years since I graduated, and this is the only year I haven't asked my family for money. That's why I said that before. I'm really disappointed in you."

"Neighbors would also make fun of me, saying what's the point of going to college, and that I would probably just play games all day at school. That makes me angry too."

"So at that time, my son was at home, and I said a few harsh words to him. As a result, he rarely contacted our family this year, and he didn't ask us for money."

"My wife is worried that he doesn't have enough money, but she is unwilling to ask for it and is too concerned about her reputation, so she calls him to ask about his well-being. But he doesn't appreciate it and hangs up the phone at any time."

"But judging from the amount of money he was defrauded of, he did make tens of thousands of dollars this year." Gu Chen also said.

The middle-aged woman also shook her head: "We don't know about this. Anyway, when we asked him if he was working or not, he didn't say anything and told us to leave him alone."

"We asked him but he didn't tell us. We can't do anything about it. We just assume he is working. Anyway, he didn't ask us for money, which is a good thing."

"But just before the Chinese New Year, he had a big argument with us over some trivial matters, and then he said he would not go home for the Chinese New Year. I don't know what he was thinking."

With a heavy sigh, the middle-aged woman said helplessly: "So there is no way. If he doesn't want to go home, then he doesn't have to go home. He is used to being alone outside, so he will probably miss home."

"After all, he has never not come home for the New Year, so I was thinking, I'll call him in a few days, but you guys came to my door."

"Oh, your family is so complicated." Listening to the couple's words, Lu Weiwei also felt that this family had too many household chores.

The couple likes to nag, which somewhat hurts their son's self-esteem, and their son has a very strong self-esteem.

Maybe he was just like Chen Junkai, who was cheated out of all his money and was too embarrassed to go home.

I originally thought that I would take the money I earned home and show off to my parents, telling them that I am independent.

But in the end I lost all my money and felt that I wouldn't be able to celebrate the New Year well if I went home, so I simply left my hometown and found some peace and quiet somewhere else.

But there is no accurate figure for how much money Zhao Xiaochuan was defrauded of, which causes statistical deviation for other victims.

Lu Weiwei was also having a headache now, and said without hesitation: "The amount of money that other people were defrauded of has basically been determined."

"Your son is the only one we cannot contact right now, and we cannot be sure how much money he was defrauded of, so it is difficult for us to calculate it."

"Even if we use the final balance for calculation, if the number is wrong, it would be irresponsible to you."

"Yes." After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, the middle-aged woman also apologized:
"We are very sorry, really. We didn't expect that our son would cause you trouble."

"We thank you for helping my son get back the money that was defrauded."

"It's useless to say these now. We can't keep dragging this matter on." Lu Weiwei sighed, looked at Gu Chen, and whispered:
"Junior Brother Gu, what do you think we should do about this?" "Let's do this." Seeing that things had reached a deadlock, Gu Chen also suggested:

"For now, we have calculated the approximate total amount of money they have defrauded from the suspects we have arrested."

"Then subtract the amount of money that other people were defrauded of. Of course, this amount is calculated by the victims themselves, plus the approximate amount calculated by the scammers, so there may be errors."

"The total minus these amounts is the remaining amount, which is the amount most likely to be inaccurate."

"I originally wanted to discuss this with your son and verify the amount, but I couldn't get in touch with your son."

"But other victims can't just sit there and wait. The money has to be returned to them as soon as possible."

"Ugh!"

Hearing what Gu Chen said, the couple looked at each other and seemed extremely anxious.

Gu Chen continued, "If we still can't contact Zhao Xiaochuan before noon tomorrow, we will return the money to them according to the amount they registered, and leave the rest to Zhao Xiaochuan."

"Of course, if Zhao Xiaochuan finds the amount is incorrect later, he can contact us again. We will continue to check with other victims and finally determine an approximate amount. We will refund the excess and make up the shortfall. What do you think?"

"Uh, sure." Seeing that Gu Chen also gave a solution, the couple had no choice but to agree reluctantly.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Gu Chen took out the document bag from the non-woven bag, then took out the registration form, handed it to the couple and said:
"Since Zhao Xiaochuan is not here, you guys will fill out some forms on his behalf."

"Uh, sure." Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man took the form from Gu Chen's hand, then picked up a pen and began to fill it out.

After finishing writing on the dining table, the middle-aged man handed it to Gu Chen and thanked him, saying:
"I'm so sorry to trouble you. Thank you so much."

"You're welcome. Once your son is in touch, ask him to call us as soon as possible." While speaking, Lu Weiwei handed over her office business card and reminded her:
"Just make this call, call tomorrow before noon. If there is no contact, then we will calculate it based on the current amount."

"Okay." After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, the couple also expressed that they had no objection.

So Lu Weiwei took back the completed form, checked it in her hand, and then handed it to Gu Chen.

After Gu Chen checked it again, he put it in the file bag and said, "That's it, we have to go back too."

"Okay, I'll take you there."

"No need, go and do your thing."

"It's okay, we'll take you there."

……

After some greetings, the couple sent Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei to the square.

After the two got in the car, they drove back to Furong Branch.

……

……

The next day at noon, 11:50.

Sitting in the office, Lu Weiwei was also anxiously waiting for the call, thinking that if they could contact Zhao Xiaochuan, the couple would contact the police as soon as possible.

But there were only 10 minutes left until 12 o'clock, and there was still no movement from the couple.

Lu Weiwei couldn't help but sigh and said to herself, "What is this Zhao Xiaochuan doing? He can't be avoiding reality all the time, right?"

"What's wrong? We still can't contact Zhao Xiaochuan?" asked Officer Wang, who was sitting in the row in front of Lu Weiwei.

"Yeah." Lu Weiwei leaned back in her chair and couldn't help but complain:

"I had returned to my hometown for the New Year, but I didn't go home, my phone was turned off, and I played missing with everyone."

"Zhao Xiaochuan's parents couldn't even see their son at home during the New Year. It was such a bummer. How could this guy be so stubborn?"

"Hey, that's normal. People like this are conceited and want to save face."

"You also said this. You had a quarrel with your family before. You said you would not go home for the New Year because you could not find a job a few years after graduation and you kept asking your family for money."

"Now they're at loggerheads, and I've saved tens of thousands of yuan for the New Year. I can go home for the New Year and give my parents a slap in the face."

"But now I have paid it back. All the money was defrauded by this group of people. If I were Zhao Xiaochuan, who is so concerned about face, I would not be able to bring myself to go home."

"Because I will be criticized when I go home. It is very difficult for college students to find jobs nowadays. The competition is so fierce outside. The probability of finding a good job is too low."

"I finally managed to make some money, but then I encountered something like this."

"So, those guys who cheated the migrant workers who returned to their hometowns out of their money are simply morally corrupt." He Junchao, who was sitting next to them, couldn't help but complain.

"That's right." Yuan Shasha also complained:

"So Senior Brother Gu's decision is correct. We must get rid of these evildoers. Otherwise, how disheartened will those who return home from work be?"

"I suffered so much outside and managed to save enough money to go home for the New Year, but all of it was ruined by these people."

"So a big part of the reason why Zhao Xiaochuan didn't go home for the New Year was because of these scammers."

"These people are going to hell." Upon hearing this, Officer Wang couldn't help but spit a few words.

After all, this kind of behavior is indeed morally corrupt and it is not an exaggeration to criticize it a hundred times.

At this time, everyone started to discuss, but Gu Chen sat there quietly, thinking about various things in his mind:
"From the tone of Zhao Xiaochuan's parents, it's not hard to tell that Zhao Xiaochuan has a weird temper and is very stubborn. If he gets angry, he must be holding it in."

"But if you hold it in for too long and can't think straight for a while, it will be troublesome."

Thinking of this, Gu Chen quickly dismissed his thoughts: "Pooh, pooh, pooh, how could I think like that?"
