I am a super cop

Chapter 2922 Puppet
It feels like Xu Gang is just another puppet, and it seems like everything is controlled by others.

The same was true for Hu Lei before, but it is not difficult to find out from Xu Gang's oral narration that Xu Gang had given business cards to many people before, and made many people know him.

As the security captain of a high-end club, he serves wealthy people.

Therefore, it is not difficult to see from here that the mastermind who asked Xu Gang for help must have also spent money in high-end clubs.

By checking these people, there is a high probability that we will find those key figures.

"Xu Gang, has this person called you?" Gu Chen asked.

"Yes." Xu Gang nodded silently and said without hesitation:
“This person usually communicates with me on the phone.”

"Do you still remember his voice on the phone?" Lu Weiwei also asked quickly.

Xu Gang shook his head: "His voice has been processed, that is, using voice changing software."

"Voice changing software?" Officer Wang was stunned.

Xu Gang quickly explained: "He is a very cautious person and generally does not reveal too much information about himself."

"That doesn't matter." Officer Wang didn't care and said slowly, "Then did you record the conversation between you and him?"

"Recording?" Xu Gang was stunned when he heard Officer Wang say this.

Officer Wang clicked his tongue and said, "Don't you think you can leave some audio evidence?"

"Uh... yes, yes." Seeing that Officer Wang seemed to have guessed something, Xu Gang also admitted generously:
"Although I don't know who he is, I still record every conversation I have with him."

"It seems that you still have some brains." Yuan Shasha said slowly after hearing this.

Xu Gang sighed and said, "Actually, I also know that helping others do this kind of thing is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may make a mistake."

"And of course I knew that, so I recorded it to leave myself some evidence."

"You knew you would be caught, so why did you do this?" Officer Wang became angrier as he listened.

Xu Gang also sighed and said, "Who doesn't want to make more money? Besides, the other party offered a lot, and I couldn't resist the temptation."

Shaking his head, Xu Gang continued, "I also want to give it a try, make some money, and start my own business."

"How much did the other party give you?" Gu Chen asked.

"120 million, and the brothers who participated with me each received 80," said Xu Gang.

"They're going to sell you out for this money? They're going to let you and your brothers kidnap others?" Officer Wang said unhappily.

Xu Gang lowered his head and said helplessly: "Sometimes, a penny can make a hero."

"My brothers and I have never had a good life. Finally, we have a chance to make a lot of money. Who wouldn't want to take a chance?"

Looking up at Gu Chen and the others, Xu Gang continued, "That's what I think, and so do my brothers. If we're going to do it, let's do it big."

"We were just paid to do the job, and the employer seemed to know me well and knew that I loved money, so he wanted me to help with this matter."

"Then didn't you ask him why he kidnapped Zhao Wenli?" Gu Chen asked.

"I did ask." Xu Gang sighed and said, "But the employer didn't say it too clearly. He just told us that Zhao Wenli is very important to him."

"We just need to control her, and everything else will depend on his arrangements."

"In other words, you just need to control Zhao Wenli?" Gu Chen asked.

"Yes." Xu Gang also nodded silently: "That's what he asked for. He wanted Zhao Wenli to disappear for a while."

"I asked him if he had any intention of taking revenge on Zhao Wenli. He said no. We were all very puzzled at the time. We wondered what on earth this employer was thinking."

"But after all, he gave us enough money, so we didn't ask too much. Later, we asked Zhao Wenli, but she seemed so scared that she didn't dare to say anything."

"I could tell she was scared, afraid that if she said something, her life would be in danger."

"So Zhao Wenli has always been very cautious. In the final analysis, she just doesn't trust us."

"So, we can only control her first and then listen to the employer."

"After you kidnapped Zhao Wenli, did your employer give you any other instructions?" asked Officer Wang.

Xu Gang shook his head: "No, he only paid us half of the fee. He will pay the other half after the matter is over."

"We don't know what the grudge is between him and Zhao Wenli, but since he spent so much money to let us kidnap Zhao Wenli, there must be a deep grudge between them."

"As for what it is? We also have professional ethics. We shouldn't ask questions that we don't need to ask."

"Otherwise, employers wouldn't find me because my reputation is there."

"Your reputation? You mean, have you done the same thing before?" Gu Chen continued to ask after hearing this.

At this moment, Xu Gang was also stunned for a moment, realizing that he had let the cat out of the bag, and could only nod and admit it:
"I did some dirty work for others before, but it was not related to kidnapping. I just helped people to support the business and collect debts."

"After all, if you don't work more jobs, how can you earn more money living here?"

"So sometimes, I have to help others with some dirty and tiring work to earn some extra money."

After taking a deep breath and trying to calm down, Xu Gang continued:
"It was because of the good reputation I had accumulated that the employer felt that I was quite reliable, so they found me and offered me a salary of 100 million."

"Isn't it 120 million?" Yuan Shasha reminded.

"I added the 20 yuan to the price. After all, if you don't add another 20 yuan to this illegal matter, I won't take it." Xu Gang said it calmly.

"Okay." Yuan Shasha nodded silently and asked Xu Gang:
"So when you received this mission, did you also carry it out according to the employer's instructions?"

"Yes." Xu Gang nodded silently.

"Then was it also your plan to let Zhuang Qing get close to Zhao Wenli?" Yuan Shasha asked again.

"Yes." Xu Gang continued to nod and explained, "We kidnapped Zhao Wenli, but we didn't kidnap her directly, because kidnapping someone in the city would be very risky."

"So I discussed it with my brothers and decided to solve it in the suburbs, preferably in the wild mountains."

"But there is a problem. How can Zhao Wenli willingly come to the wilderness? We thought of hiking."

"Moreover, our investigation found that she and Zhuang Qing were in a pretty good relationship online. They often commented on each other's works and seemed to know each other very well."

"Because Zhuang Qing worked in a bar, and I was familiar with this circle, I quickly found out that she was dating a pretty boy named Hu Lei."

"And it can be seen that Zhuang Qing likes this pretty boy very much and even spends money to support him."

"So if we want to get Zhao Wenli to go hiking, we can only use Zhuang Qing to invite her, which will increase the chances of success." "But there are risks in doing so. First of all, Zhuang Qing knows that this is a crime and will not agree to it. So we chose a roundabout way, which is to use Zhuang Qing's pretty boy boyfriend, Hu Lei."

"This guy used to work in a bar as a bartender. We knew him quite well, so we made him owe us some money and then threatened him with cutting off his fingers."

"This guy is timid, so of course he got scared, so he joined us and dragged Zhao Wenli into the water."

Having said this, Xu Gang also sighed heavily.

Gu Chen said calmly: "Aren't you afraid of trouble? How can you trust these two people?"

"Of course we don't trust you." Xu Yang also shook his head and said:
"Sometimes, I even feel like they are a burden, but there's nothing I can do about it."

"If we want Zhao Wenli to go hiking, we can only use Hu Lei, the pretty boy, and her girlfriend Zhuang Qing."

"Only these two people could meet the conditions for our crime, so we succeeded in the kidnapping."

"Because kidnapping in the mountains doesn't leave many clues, this gives us a lot of convenience."

"So, after we successfully kidnapped someone, in order to avoid trouble, we had no choice but to detain Zhuang Qing first to prevent Hu Lei, the pretty boy, from ruining our plans."

"But Hu Lei can't leave for too long, and Zhuang Qing is close to Zhao Wenli. I think you should be able to find out."

"So if Hu Lei disappears again, it will be easy for problems to arise."

"So we wanted him to go back first and pretend that this matter had nothing to do with him."

At this point, Xu Gang regretted his original decision and sighed helplessly:

"But I really didn't expect that Hu Lei was so useless that he confessed right away. If I had known, I would have arrested both of them together."

"Even if we don't detain you, we will definitely find you." Facing Xu Gang's self-righteousness, Gu Chen directly expressed his attitude.

At this moment, Xu Gang was also ashamed. He lowered his head and sighed:

"I know, I'm useless. I just want to make more money, but this time it's really risky."

"I think Zhao Wenli might have offended someone in some way. We just need to tie her up and wait for news from her employer. We can release her after the two of them reach a settlement."

"And then we can make a lot of money easily, which is the best thing for us."

"But we didn't expect that things would go off track."

"The employer has not given any further instructions, and we dare not neglect it in the slightest."

"The longer we delay, the greater the risk we face."

"But there is no way out. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. We have come this far. There is no way back."

With a heavy sigh, Xu Gang felt extremely regretful at this moment.

After thinking for a few seconds, Gu Chen slowly said, "Call out your phone recording."

"But those are all sounds after voice change," said Xu Gang.

"Don't worry about this, our technicians will handle it." said Gu Chen.

"Well... okay then." Xu Gang nodded silently and explained, "My phone has been confiscated by the police who arrested me. It should be in their hands."

Gu Chen glanced at the second-level police inspector, who quickly said, "It's locked in our archives room. I'll get it right away."

"Thank you." said Gu Chen.

Not long after, a second-level police inspector came over with a file bag and handed it to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen opened the file bag and found a mobile phone in the transparent evidence bag.

So Gu Chen opened the phone through the transparent evidence bag. When the phone screen showed the password input, Gu Chen asked for Xu Gang's phone password.

After unlocking it, I found the recordings in the recording files.

There are 5 recordings in total, and Gu Chen clicked on them to listen to them.

It was discovered that they were all communicating with Xu Gang, and the other party did use voice changing software, so it was impossible to tell who the other party was just from the voice.

However, when faced with this kind of voice change processing, Gu Chen's team had already solved the technical problems.

As long as it is handed over to He Junchao, He Junchao can use tuning methods to restore the original voice.

Although it is impossible to achieve 100% similarity, it can basically match the original sound.

Therefore, these recordings are very crucial, and Gu Chen is also very fortunate that Xu Gang was able to preserve these evidences.

This was both evidence he wanted to use to exonerate himself and a clue for Gu Chen's investigation.

"We need to take this phone back and hand it over to our technicians to process and restore the sound." Gu Chen said to the second-level police superintendent.

"No problem, but I need to talk to our Director Gao." said the Second Class Superintendent.

"Thank you for your help." said Gu Chen.

So the second-level police inspector turned around and left, went outside to make a phone call, and after entering the house, he agreed, "Our Gao said that you can take this evidence back."

"In addition, they are slowly narrowing down the scope and have reached the target area. It is estimated that they will find the target soon."

"That's the best." Gu Chen was also overjoyed when he heard that.

Then he looked at Xu Gang and asked, "You are so smart. From the tone of the other party's words to you, who do you think he is most likely to be?"

Gu Chen also wanted to narrow the scope here with Xu Gang.

Because if Gu Chen alone were to make the judgment, this would undoubtedly be a huge investigation project.

And Gu Chen wanted to know, from Xu Gang’s perspective, who were the people he could think of?

At this moment, Xu Gang was silent for a long time, and seemed to be thinking constantly.

But he was not sure. The room remained silent for a long time before Xu Gang spoke:

"It must be those people I have had close contact with in the past month, but I'm not sure which one of them it is? I'm not sure if it's them."

"No problem." Hearing Xu Gang's words, Gu Chen directly put the writing pen on the notebook, then pushed it in front of Xu Gang and said calmly:

"Write down all the names of the people you know on a piece of paper, and we will make the judgment ourselves."
