I am a super cop

Chapter 2900 Language Trap
Motive for murder. When Gu Chen said these words, Zhao Xiaochuan felt uneasy.

Obviously, Gu Chen hit the nail on the head on what Zhao Xiaochuan was thinking.

Lu Weiwei also took a step forward and continued, "Zhao Xiaochuan, the reasons you gave, in my opinion, are just one-sided attempts to cover up the relationship between you and Gao Cheng."

"Everyone knows that you had a feud with Gao Cheng at school, and Gao Cheng bullied you again and again, but you chose to endure it."

"Even the most ordinary people can see what you are afraid of. Your personality, your classmates, and your teachers know it very well."

"You are not the kind of person who would not take revenge, and your classmate Zhao Zhuowen also said that you always choose to endure it. But what are you afraid of?"

"Or do you have a secret that Gao Cheng has caught you with?"

"Stop talking." After Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Zhao Xiaochuan's mood became obviously hesitant.

Even a little crazy.

He panted heavily for a few times and said without hesitation: "I've said before that Gao Cheng's death has nothing to do with me. If you don't believe me, then investigate it yourself."

"Then tell me, what were you doing by the reservoir that day?" asked Officer Wang.

"I just want to find my cave." Zhao Xiaochuan was still the toughest.

"Did you see Gao Cheng in the reservoir?" Officer Wang continued to ask.

Zhao Xiaochuan hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "No."

"You are lying. You were the only one at the reservoir at that time. How could you say that there was no one? Then how did Gao Cheng die? Did he drown himself?" Officer Wang also argued.

Zhao Xiaochuan asked back: "Then why don't you investigate why Gao Cheng appeared in the reservoir? He was fine, why was he there?"

Seeing that Zhao Xiaochuan was still trying to find an excuse to escape, Gu Chen and the others certainly would not fall for his trick.

Zhao Xiaochuan is still unaware of the fact that everyone has already discovered the truth behind Gao Cheng’s death.

And if Zhao Xiaochuan did see Gao Cheng's body thrown into the water at that time, then he must know what happened.

Gu Chen and his companions wanted to force him to tell them the details.

Only in this way will Zhao Xiaochuan's little thoughts be exposed.

But it was obvious that Zhao Xiaochuan was being cunning now. He seemed unsure whether Gu Chen and the others had already grasped the truth of Gao Cheng's death, so he had been tentatively dealing with Gu Chen and the others.

But Gu Chen and his companions are more skilled. After all, they have the initiative in their hands, and they are not afraid that you, Gao Cheng, will beat around the bush.

So after Gu Chen and the others looked at each other, they all knew what was going on.

He had to do everything he could to let Zhao Xiaochuan know that he was the only person close to Gao Cheng at that time.

Only in this way can he and Gao Cheng establish a connection.

Gu Chen took a deep breath and said slowly: "Zhao Xiaochuan, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it. I can tell you that based on your movements towards the reservoir, we can determine the specific time you arrived near the reservoir."

"According to our investigation of the deceased Gao Cheng, his time of death is highly consistent with the time you arrived at the reservoir."

"So we don't believe you when you say you haven't seen Gao Cheng, and you're still hiding in a cave."

"You may understand these actions of yours as performance art, but we cannot understand it that way. We can understand that after you killed someone, you were afraid of being held accountable, so you hid here to avoid the limelight for a while."

"After the rumors of this incident have died down, you can quietly leave here and get rid of suspicion."

Shaking his head, Gu Chen said without hesitation: "Your wishful thinking is good, but don't forget that the time of Gao Cheng's death is highly consistent with the time you stayed in the reservoir."

"If you can't find out who else was present, then you are the only one who can kill Gao Cheng."

"me……"

It seemed that Gu Chen had forced him into a corner. At this moment, Zhao Xiaochuan felt very anxious, as if the evidence provided by Gu Chen were a curse that he could not escape.

Just as Gu Chen said, if he could not find out the other people present, then the suspect in the murder of Gao Cheng could only be himself.

After repeated inner struggles, Zhao Xiaochuan looked up at everyone and said without hesitation:
"Well, I said, I was looking for a place to stay without being discovered by my family."

"After all, I had an argument with my family over the phone and said I would not go home for the New Year."

With a faint sigh, Zhao Xiaochuan continued to complain: "My family scolded me for being useless. I couldn't find a job after graduating from college, and they always asked my family for money. I was upset, so we had a quarrel and said that I would not go home for the New Year."

"What happened next?" Gu Chen listened carefully and continued to ask.

"Later?" Zhao Xiaochuan sighed and said slowly:

"Later, I put aside my pride and worked as a waiter in a restaurant, with food and lodging provided, and I made some money."

"I just wanted to go home and reconcile with my family. After all, they always look down on me. I feel unhappy. I just want to take the money I earned home and tell them that this is my salary."

Spreading his hands, Zhao Xiaochuan continued, "Anyway, I won't tell them that I'm a waiter in a restaurant. I can just say that I found a white-collar job, right?"

"But the bad thing was that after I returned to town, I ran into some of my childhood playmates, and they invited me to play cards."

"result……"

At this point, Zhao Xiaochuan seemed to be unable to continue, feeling a little embarrassed, and sighed, saying helplessly:

"In the end, I lost all the money I earned. I deserved it. Thinking about all this, I will still be scolded when I get home. I won't be able to celebrate this New Year."

"So I have no choice but to find a way to hide and stay somewhere. After this period is over, I will go out to work. This way I won't embarrass myself and I can pretend that I have never been back."

"Then what?" Seeing that Zhao Xiaochuan kept sighing, Gu Chen continued to ask.

"Then?" Zhao Xiaochuan snorted and laughed twice, then sighed helplessly, "Then, I came to the edge of the town, to a few unfinished buildings that had not yet been renovated."

"I'm thinking of settling down here during the New Year."

"But then I thought about it and it wasn't a solution. After all, this is not a place I can stay."

"Then I remembered that there was an abandoned processing plant next to the reservoir, so I thought, let's try my luck here and see if I can find a suitable place to stay."

"Have you found it?" asked Officer Wang.

Zhao Xiaochuan still shook his head: "No, the abandoned processing plant is full of ruins and is not suitable for living at all."

"Besides, many buildings have been uninhabited for a long time, and many of their walls have cracks and are even at risk of collapse." "If I live in one of them and the wall collapses one day, I will be buried in the ruins and no one will know, so I don't think this place is suitable for me to settle down."

"So I thought of this cave nearby. There is spring water flowing down from the mountain here, which can solve my water problem."

"So I took my dry food and prepared to go here to hide from the limelight."

"Then you met Gao Cheng here and drowned him here, right?" Gu Chen saw that Zhao Xiaochuan seemed to be following his thoughts and recreating the scene at that time step by step, so he urged him.

But Zhao Xiaochuan seemed to have fallen into Gu Chen's trap, and continued to explain:
"I said, I didn't kill Gao Cheng."

"But at that time, weren't you the only one staying by the reservoir?" Gu Chen continued to pave the way for Zhao Xiaochuan.

Zhao Xiaochuan sighed, and also put on an awkward look, saying with a distressed look:

"I was by the reservoir at the time and did find Gao Cheng, but I didn't kill him. I saw him being carried here by two people. To be precise, I didn't know who this person was at the time."

“I only saw him being carried to the reservoir, and then he was taken onto the boat by these two men.”

"When I saw this situation, I felt that something was wrong. These two people seemed mysterious and I didn't know what they were doing."

"So I had no choice but to hide in the weeds by the reservoir and observe secretly."

"So what did you observe?" Lu Weiwei continued to ask.

Zhao Xiaochuan said helplessly: "I observed that after the two men took the man to the middle area of ​​the reservoir, they tied a rope around the man and tied a large stone to the other end of the rope."

"Then, they threw the man and the stone into the reservoir, and the man sank directly to the bottom of the water."

"They waited until that person stopped making any movement before leaving."

Looking up at Gu Chen and the others, Zhao Xiaochuan also said with a look of grievance:

"So when I saw these two people dumping the body, I was very panicked, fearing that they would find me."

"Besides, I don't want to meddle in other people's business. I came here to find a place to stay. If I get involved in this matter, it would be too troublesome."

"You didn't even call the police?" Yuan Shasha said.

Zhao Xiaochuan said with a bitter face: "Call the police? Did I explain it clearly? I didn't even know what these people were doing at the time."

"And I believe that you police officers will figure it out on your own, but it wasn't until you found me that I learned that the person who drowned was actually Gao Cheng."

"Although Gao Cheng and I have had a feud, that was something that happened in middle school, and it's a long time ago now."

"Why would I come here and drown him for no reason? So someone else must have drowned him. If they weren't two people at the time, I might have stopped it."

"But when I saw the body dumped, it seemed that the person was already dead, so I didn't dare to intervene. I thought I should stay out of the spotlight first, lest these two people find me and kill me to silence me."

"I don't want to cause trouble. Although I know it's wrong, I don't like to meddle in other people's business. But you came to my house and said that I was the murderer. Am I wronged?"

At the end of his speech, Zhao Xiaochuan seemed to feel aggrieved.

Gu Chen was secretly ecstatic, thinking to himself, you finally admitted it.

It was difficult to catch you just now, but now you have fallen into the trap and told everything.

In Gu Chen's opinion, Zhao Xiaochuan must have known the bald man's modus operandi in the mining area, because as he himself said, he was hiding in the bushes beside the reservoir at that time.

So he saw clearly how the bald man and his men dumped the body.

Perhaps Zhao Xiaochuan wanted to use the fact that the two men dumped the body to confirm the crime of murdering Gao Cheng, in order to clear his own innocence.

But Gu Chen knew very well that Gao Cheng was not dead when the bald man dumped the body. He just pretended to be electrocuted.

But in fact, Gao Cheng was drowned.

This requires follow-up measures, but Zhao Xiaochuan fully meets the conditions of being the one who takes the initiative.

Gu Chen, who understood the situation, continued, "So, from the beginning, you knew that someone was dumping bodies at the reservoir?"

"Yes." Looking at Gu Chen, Zhao Xiaochuan pretended to be pitiful and said slowly:
"I know, but I'm afraid of retaliation, so I don't dare to say it."

"You don't dare to say it?" Seeing Zhao Xiaochuan's good performance, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"What are you afraid to say? We have already found the cave, and you told us that you don't know Gao Cheng, and you said you have never seen Gao Cheng."

"Based on these two lies, you are a serious suspect."

"I didn't." After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Zhao Xiaochuan also tried his best to refute:
"The person who killed Gao Cheng was someone else. It has nothing to do with me."

"I just don't want to say it, but that doesn't mean I killed Gao Cheng. He was clearly dumped and drowned by those two people."

At this point, Zhao Xiaochuan also continued: "Yes, those two people are popular, one of them is bald and looks a bit fat."

"If you follow this clue, you will definitely be able to find that guy."

"And that guy is the real murderer, not me."

After the words fell, the scene suddenly became quiet.

The atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Gu Chen and his colleagues looked at each other, and everyone felt secretly happy.

Only Zhao Zhuowen stood in the corner, saying nothing, feeling frightened.

Gu Chen said, "So, from beginning to end, you saw the whole process of the bald man throwing the body away, right?"

"Yes, I saw it. It was that bald guy who dumped the body." In response to Gu Chen's inquiry, Zhao Xiaochuan continued.

"Very good." Gu Chen was very satisfied and continued:
"So the murderer who killed Gao Cheng is you."

"Me?" When Gu Chen suddenly pointed at his nose and called him the murderer, Zhao Xiaochuan felt that all the explanations he had just given were in vain.

Zhao Xiaochuan also laughed angrily and said, "It's not a police officer. You must have made a mistake, right? Didn't I just say that?"

"It was someone else who killed Gao Cheng. It was a bald man and another person. I saw with my own eyes that they dumped the body into the water. I have nothing to do with it."

"That's exactly why it has something to do with you." As soon as Zhao Xiaochuan finished speaking, Gu Chen said righteously.
