I am a super cop

Chapter 2954 Retrieving the Corpse
The more she thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. Lu Weiwei felt that if Zhu Qian was picked up by a black car and had not returned to the B&B for several days, then something must have happened.

The fact that Zhu Qian came to such a place was itself very suspicious.

Not long after, He Junchao called again. Gu Chen quickly answered the call and asked, "How is it?"

"We have found the car's information. It is a fake license plate car. The driver's face was covered tightly, so we couldn't see his appearance at all."

"In addition, the last time this black car appeared on the surveillance camera, it was heading to a nearby reservoir."

"Send me the exact location." Gu Chen became nervous when he heard it.

He Junchao then sent the location where the black car was last seen. Gu Chen found Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, and they drove to the destination together.

At this moment, the sky has darkened and visibility is very low. There are only reflective road signs and no street lights on the country road, which makes it difficult for everyone to search.

When Gu Chen drove to an intersection, he suddenly stopped the car.

If you go forward at this time, you will go to the next location, and if you turn left, you will reach the road that crosses the reservoir.

This intersection is the only one with surveillance cameras around.

Gu Chen turned the car onto the road on the reservoir dam, parked the car, and got out to check.

With the help of the vehicle's lights, Gu Chen also took out his own high-intensity flashlight.

Behind him, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha followed closely.

The four of them lined up in a row and slowly advanced towards the embankment road.

Because this place is relatively remote, almost no one takes this road. However, there is an abandoned duty room at the intersection, which is a small house for duty.

Now the house is empty, with only some waste materials piled up inside and dust everywhere.

After walking for a while on the reservoir dam, Gu Chen saw some traces of wheels, but the more he walked, the more he felt something was wrong. Gu Chen suddenly stopped and shone the flashlight on one side of the dam road.

"Something's going on." Gu Chen frowned and quickly reminded.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha quickly moved behind Gu Chen.

Gu Chen reminded, "Normally, few people walk on this road, so the mud, sand and dust are relatively solidified. But there are wheel marks here. Not many, just one car."

"That's right." Based on Gu Chen's reminder, Lu Weiwei also saw the situation clearly with the help of the strong flashlight.

Yuan Shasha also reminded, "From the wheel marks, the vehicle obviously turned left, but there is a reservoir on the left. Could it be that the vehicle rushed into the reservoir?"

"Xiao Yuan, you are right." As soon as Yuan Shasha finished speaking, Officer Wang shone a strong flashlight a few times and reminded her:
"It is not difficult to see from the wheel marks that the vehicle obviously rushed into the reservoir."

"And before the car rushed into the reservoir, it clearly stopped here." Gu Chen pointed at the wheel marks on the ground with his foot and reminded.

Everyone gathered around and observed carefully.

Officer Wang also agreed, "Yes, what Gu Chen said is absolutely correct. The car came here and stopped before turning the steering wheel and driving towards the reservoir."

"It's obvious that the driver deliberately drove the vehicle into the reservoir. But if that was the case, the driver would have gotten out of the vehicle first, and his footprints would have been found nearby."

"This." As soon as Officer Wang finished speaking, Lu Weiwei pointed to the left side of the wheel tracks and reminded:
"Here on the left, there is an obvious footprint."

"Take a picture of it." Gu Chen reminded.

Yuan Shasha quickly took out her cell phone and used the light to take pictures of the footprints and wheel marks.

Gu Chen looked in the direction of the reservoir. The traces of the wheels were faintly visible, but generally very obvious.

Seeing this situation, Gu Chen quickly took out his mobile phone and began to contact his colleagues at the police station.

……

……

An hour later, various vehicles began to gather at the edge of the reservoir. Police officers set up cordons nearby, and various lighting fixtures illuminated the reservoir dam road as bright as day.

On-site evidence collection is also underway.

Gu Chen looked at the assault vehicle on the side and asked, "Did you bring your diving equipment?"

"I brought it." Ji Zhe came over and reported: "I brought three sets of diving equipment."

"Send someone down to search." Gu Chen said.

"Understood." Ji Zhe nodded silently, then reminded the two divers behind him and began to explain to the divers.

The diver then walked along the stone steps on the dam to the bottom of the reservoir and slowly dived down to search for the location of the vehicle in the water.

Soon, the two divers surfaced at the same time, and one of the divers made sign language gestures to indicate that he had found the target.

Gu Chen quickly reminded the police officers to remove the hook of the cable and then handed it to the two divers.

The diver dived back into the water with the hook, and not long after, both of them surfaced again.

One of the divers took off his mask and reminded, "Director Gu, the vehicle has been hooked. It is quite firm and can be pulled up."

"Thank you for your hard work." Gu Chen nodded silently, then asked everyone to hang the other end of the cable on the heavy crane on the dam, and then asked the driver to start the crane arm and begin to pull the vehicle up from the water.

As the crane's boom continued to rise, everyone could clearly see that the black car that had sunk into the reservoir was gradually emerging from the water.

Everyone who saw this scene was stunned and their mood was up and down.

As the vehicle was pulled up one after another and dragged onto the reservoir dam road, everyone gathered around.

"Isn't this Zhu Qian?" Lu Weiwei saw Zhu Qian in the car through the half-down car window.

At this moment, Zhu Qian had already been soaking in the water for a long time.

Many people who saw this scene felt a little disgusted and couldn't help but step back.

Gu Chen quickly checked the accident vehicle and found that the vehicle's windows were not locked, but left a gap.

In this way, when the vehicle falls into the reservoir, the water in the reservoir will quickly submerge the vehicle until the entire vehicle is submerged in the reservoir.

Gu Chen took a deep breath and sighed, "Obviously, Zhu Qian was murdered and then abandoned in the reservoir along with the vehicle, and the driver might be the murderer."

"This murderer is so cruel." Officer Wang was very angry when he saw this scene.

Everyone then took photos at the scene to collect evidence, then opened the car door and carried Zhu Qian's body out.

Gu Chen put on the mask and took a closer look, only to find that there were obvious marks of strangulation on Zhu Qian's neck.

After checking other parts of Zhu Qian's body, they found some fiber residues in the gaps between her nails, which looked like fibers from the murderer's clothes.

Gu Chen asked Yuan Shasha to take photos for evidence.

At this time, a car light flashed in the distance, and forensic doctor Gao Chuanfeng and his team members rushed over. After parking the car, Gao Chuanfeng walked up to Gu Chen and asked:
"How's the body?"

"Preliminary judgment is that the person was strangled to death in the car and then abandoned in the reservoir along with the vehicle," said Gu Chen.

Gao Chuanfeng frowned and immediately began to investigate.

Soon, Gao Chuanfeng and his team members began to take over the on-site work.

Gu Chen led everyone away from the scene.

Gu Chen sat back in the car, took out his cell phone and dialed He Junchao's number.

Not long after, He Junchao got through on the phone, and Gu Chen quickly asked, "After the black car drove onto the reservoir dam road, did you notice the driver leaving?"

"No." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, He Junchao quickly replied:

"I checked and no one appeared in the surveillance footage, and the black car has not appeared again."

"That's strange." Gu Chen frowned and said slowly:

"Could it be that the driver left from another location? And thus avoided the surveillance camera?"

Thinking of this, Gu Chen looked at the reservoir again and said thoughtfully:
"Brother He, no matter what, please help me find this driver, including his movements before he drove."

"It's a bit difficult," said He Junchao.

"No matter what difficulties there are, you must help me find this driver, because he is very likely the murderer of Zhu Qian." Gu Chen said.

He Junchao hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said, "I'll try my best, but I'm not sure. After all, the driver has his face covered. I can only use investigation."

"Check all strangers who have appeared in the village recently to see if there are any suspects with similar characteristics to the driver."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother He." Gu Chen said.

After a brief conversation, both of them hung up the phone.

To be on the safe side, Gu Chen returned to the crime scene and asked the divers to return to the reservoir to check if there were other members to ensure that no other members were missed in the reservoir.

Everyone was busy at the reservoir for a whole night, and everyone chose to rest in the car.

When the sun rose, Gu Chen sat quietly by the reservoir, thinking about the case and waiting for news from He Junchao.

……

……

By 7 o'clock in the morning, the police officers who went to buy breakfast had already brought the steaming hot breakfast pastries to the scene and began distributing them to everyone.

Lu Weiwei also asked for a cup of soy milk and some buns for Gu Chen, and took the initiative to pass them to Gu Chen: "Junior Brother Gu, the buns and soy milk are both hot, eat some quickly."

"Thank you, Senior Sister Lu." Gu Chen took the buns and soy milk and started enjoying them.

But at this moment, He Junchao's phone call also came in.

Gu Chen took a look and quickly swiped the answer button and asked, "Brother He, how is it?"

"I found a suspicious person in the village where the B&B is located. This suspicious person has never been here before, but has appeared frequently in recent times."

"Moreover, after Zhu Qian disappeared, this person also disappeared mysteriously and has not appeared in the village since then, so I suspect that this person is more likely to be a black car driver."

"Then can you track this person's whereabouts?" Gu Chen asked.

He Junchao also hurriedly explained: "I can't tell where he went now? But, this person appeared in the village, and his face can be seen clearly."

"I need you to go to the village and identify this person to see if he is a local. Once you find him, you can interrogate him. Based on my experience, there are some issues with this person."

"I understand." After listening to He Junchao's explanation, Gu Chen also quickly said:
"Send me the picture of that person."

Not long after, Gu Chen received the man's photo, so he quickly got up, explained the situation to the people at the scene, and drove directly back to the B&B with Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha.

……

……

When the vehicle stopped at the previous location again, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha went directly to the homestay where Zhu Qian had stayed before.

Then, Lu Weiwei showed the man's photo and asked the old lady:
"Have you seen this man?"

"This person?" The old lady knew the purpose of Gu Chen and his friends' coming here because she had communicated with them before.

Now he took out a photo of the man and asked her to confirm it. The old lady didn't dare to delay and quickly squinted her eyes and took a closer look.

After a moment, Mrs. Lai's expression became serious and she said slowly:
"I think I've seen this person before."

"Where have you seen him?" Officer Wang asked quickly.

The old lady thought for a few seconds before saying, "I remember that he seemed to have come to my B&B. Yes, I seemed to have seen him nearby the night that woman checked in."

"I originally thought he was with this woman, but it turned out that only the woman came to check in. He didn't come over, but just stood far away. I even glanced at him a few times at the time."

"I feel like he came here to fish, right? After all, there are so many people fishing by the river. Maybe he just came here for a stroll and happened to come to my B&B."

"Have you noticed that this person is active in the village?" Yuan Shasha asked again.

The old lady thought for a few seconds and shook her head: "I don't know about this, but I feel that he should have been here. You might as well ask other people in our village, maybe someone of them has seen this person."

"Okay, thank you." Seeing that the old lady only knew limited clues, Gu Chen could only thank her and led everyone to start searching in the village.

Gu Chen asked almost everyone he met, and it was at the door of a private house that he got some clues.

After looking at the photo that Gu Chen showed, an old man slowly said, "I've seen this person several times."

"Where did you see it?" Gu Chen asked quickly.

The old man explained: "A few days ago, I don't remember the exact date, but I'm sure I saw him. He was walking around our village."

"Besides, he seemed to have driven here."

"Yes, he came here in a black car." Officer Wang quickly agreed.

The old man also continued: "Well, he came to my house and asked me for some water. I thought he was here to fish, so I sold him a few bottles of water."

"Selling water? Uncle, does your family run a convenience store?" Yuan Shasha looked curious.

The old man said nothing and walked directly into the living room of his house and opened one of the rooms, which was full of small commodities.
