I am a super cop

Chapter 2967 Van Driver

In fact, Gu Chen had great suspicions about Zhang Linlin for a long time. At least he had investigated Mr. Liao from the MCN agency and Huang Lifeng, who had an affair with Zhang Linlin.

Including Liu Wenjie who has already died, these people are all centered around Zhang Linlin.

Therefore, to find out the root cause of the problem, we have to go to Zhang Linlin.

Gu Chen sighed and said, "We must conduct a comprehensive investigation of Zhang Linlin. The Zhang Linlin we know now is only the way she shows herself to us."

"As a professional anchor with a beautiful face, she is trying to please male netizens most of the time, so she talks nonsense and makes up lies. We can't be fooled by her."

After a pause, Gu Chen continued, "Also, Huang Lifeng mentioned earlier that Liu Wenjie actually came to the house that night and blocked the two of them in the room on the spot."

"Huang Lifeng said that nothing happened between him and Zhang Linlin. This is actually his one-sided statement. Perhaps they had had sex a long time ago."

"But according to Huang Lifeng, Liu Wenjie was angry but did not take any action at the time. This is very abnormal."

"Yes." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Yuan Shasha quickly echoed: "I also think something is wrong. First of all, it's Liu Wenjie. If I were Liu Wenjie, I would definitely beat Huang Lifeng to vent my anger."

"But, facing such a huge humiliation, he could actually remain so calm? I think it's very abnormal. At least no normal person would be like this."

"Also, what Huang Lifeng said, that Liu Wenjie helped his girlfriend Zhang Linlin put on her clothes and then left, I think that's very problematic."

"So is Liu Wenjie really that cowardly? If Liu Wenjie is that cowardly, then he should be in a weak position in his relationship with Zhang Linlin."

"If he was in a weak position, how could he have such a strong desire to control? And why would he take away Zhang Linlin's phone and not allow her to go out?"

"Logically speaking, Zhang Linlin should be very strong. At least the relationship between the two should not be what Zhang Linlin said. She completely packaged herself as a pitiful woman."

"I think so too." As soon as Yuan Shasha finished speaking, Lu Weiwei beside her quickly echoed:
"I also think that Zhang Linlin has over-packaged herself. This is not possible under normal circumstances."

"And she told Huang Lifeng that she was single and had already ended things with her ex-boyfriend."

"Then why would Zhang Linlin continue to live with Liu Wenjie at this time? And still listen to Liu Wenjie so much? This is ridiculous."

"It only means that one of them is lying." Officer Wang also crossed his arms and said nothing more.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "Through the separate investigations of these people, it can be seen that none of them are telling the truth."

"Or, in other words, they only say things that are beneficial to themselves and deliberately distance themselves from the matter."

"For example, Mr. Liao from the MCN agency said he didn't know what happened after the reception. That's ridiculous."

"Because this cocktail party was planned by Mr. Liao. He was the one who created the opportunity for Huang Lifeng and Zhang Linlin, so he was lying."

"Because he needs Huang Lifeng's help, he will do this."

"Similarly, Huang Lifeng said that there was nothing between him and Zhang Linlin? This is ridiculous. What were they thinking? In fact, each other knew it."

"Huang Lifeng is rich and has a strong family background. He is the kind of man Zhang Linlin wants. But Huang Lifeng's image as a good man is quite hypocritical."

"And there's Zhang Linlin. I've said this many times before. Maybe everything she tells is a carefully crafted lie."

"Then investigate Zhang Linlin," said Officer Wang.

Yuan Shasha also said quickly: "Ask Senior Brother He to help investigate and see if Zhang Linlin has gone out in the past 10 days? Where has she been?"

"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded silently, took out his mobile phone and started communicating with He Junchao.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Chen drove to Zhang Linlin's apartment and waited for He Junchao's call back.

Not long after, He Junchao called and Gu Chen quickly answered the call: "Brother He, how is it?"

"Gu Chen, I did some research and found out that Zhang Linlin doesn't usually cook for herself. She usually goes downstairs to buy food."

"Did she pay with her mobile phone?" Gu Chen asked.

He Junchao on the other end of the phone denied it: "No, she paid in cash. She usually goes to a fast food restaurant near the apartment, the one with a red sign, Kai Kai Fast Food Restaurant."

"Apart from that?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Other than that? I didn't go anywhere. I bought daily necessities at the supermarket next to Kai Kai fast food restaurant, and then carried the bags back to the apartment."

After listening to He Junchao's introduction, Gu Chen also had doubts in his heart and said slowly:
"If that's the case, we will investigate. Please continue to monitor and see if there are any new findings. If there are any, please inform me as soon as possible."

"Okay, contact me anytime."

After He Junchao and Gu Chen had a brief conversation, they both hung up the phone.

At the same time, Gu Chen's eyes also turned to the Kai Kai fast food restaurant, so he led everyone in.

At this moment, the restaurant is open. Many workers come out of nearby office buildings and shops and walk into the fast food restaurant, which soon becomes lively.

Since there is no dining area here, everyone takes their meals home to enjoy after ordering them.

After Gu Chen and his companions entered, the proprietress also reminded them, "Queue up, queue up."

"We are the police." Officer Wang showed his police ID.

The proprietress was also stunned for a moment, and quickly asked in a soft voice: "Comrade police, what's the matter?"

"Do you know this person?" Officer Wang showed Zhang Linlin's photo.

The lady boss just glanced at him and nodded silently: "I know him. He often comes to our store to buy fast food."

"Are you familiar with her?" Lu Weiwei asked quickly.

The lady boss hesitated and said slowly, "I'm usually busy, so I don't talk to customers very often. The waiters in our store like to chat with customers like these."

After the voice fell, the proprietress also called a middle-aged woman in the store and quickly asked: "Do you often chat with this female customer?"

"Uh, let me see." The middle-aged woman also glanced at the photo in Officer Wang's phone and said slowly:

"Yes, I have seen this woman. She often comes to our store to shop."

"Have you talked to her?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"Talk occasionally." said the middle-aged woman.

"Then do you know what her job is?" Yuan Shasha asked again.

The middle-aged woman thought for a moment and said thoughtfully: "She should be a broadcaster. I have watched her live broadcast, so I have communicated with her a lot."

"Does she usually live here alone?" Gu Chen also walked up and asked.

The middle-aged woman thought for a moment and said slowly, "She should live with her boyfriend."

"Of course, when she was live streaming, she kept saying that she was single, but that was just her personality. She herself said that if a woman like her said she had a boyfriend during a live streaming, basically no one would be willing to give her tips." "After all, who would give tips to a female anchor who has a boyfriend? Which of the men who gave tips didn't do so with the intention of getting to know her?"

"If she has a boyfriend, it's like giving her a reward so that she can live a comfortable life with her boyfriend. Which male netizen can stand this?"

"Only those silly male netizens are stupid enough to keep giving tips. Of course, it is precisely because of these whimsical men that anchors like them can continue to make money. They can make much more than us in the catering industry."

Seeing that the middle-aged woman seemed to know a lot about Zhang Linlin, Gu Chen continued to ask her:
"Then did you know that she hasn't been doing any live broadcasts recently?"

"Uh, this... it seems that there is no live broadcast." Hearing Gu Chen's words, the middle-aged woman nodded silently and said thoughtfully:
"I heard her say that she seemed to be feeling a little unwell, so she didn't do the live broadcast."

"When she came here to make purchases recently, did she use her cell phone or cash?" Officer Wang continued to ask.

The middle-aged woman was also a little confused: "I really don't understand this. I have always paid with my mobile phone before, but now I just pay with cash."

"Then I asked her, why don't you use your cell phone?"

"What did she say?" Lu Weiwei asked.

The middle-aged woman also continued: "Her hand, it seems that the phone is broken."

"Have you met her boyfriend?" asked Officer Wang.

"Uh, this... I'm not sure about this, but I remember that her boyfriend seems to be a photographer, and many of her works were taken with the help of her boyfriend."

"Besides, she seems to have always lived with her boyfriend."

As soon as the middle-aged woman finished speaking, Gu Chen showed Liu Wenjie's photo and asked:

"Her boyfriend, is this the guy?"

"Uh, yes."

After just one glance, the middle-aged woman confirmed it.

Gu Chen continued to ask: "Does this man usually come to your store to shop?"

"Come, and come often."

……

During the communication with the middle-aged woman, Gu Chen also got a general understanding of Zhang Linlin's recent situation, including the situation of Liu Wenjie's consumption here.

It seems to be consistent with what Zhang Linlin said.

But the more this happened, the more Gu Chen felt something was wrong. After all, Zhang Linlin was the one who was most suspected.

Especially her statements, there are many contradictions.

Now Zhang Linlin is under close surveillance by the police, and Gu Chen also wants to know whether Zhang Linlin will be exposed.

So Gu Chen arranged for Ji Zhe and another trainee policeman to wear plain clothes and ambush nearby, specifically to keep an eye on Zhang Linlin's every move.

……

……

Gu Chen returned to the car and fell into deep thought:
"The murderer who killed Liu Wenjie is very likely the same person who kidnapped Zhao Xiaomin, but there doesn't seem to be any connection between Zhao Xiaomin and Liu Wenjie, at least not now."

"Could it be someone related to these two people? For example, their friends? Or maybe Zhao Xiaomin's kidnapping and Liu Wenjie's murder actually have nothing to do with what happened between Zhang Linlin and Huang Lifeng?"

"Could it be that these are two separate things?"

Lu Weiwei also expressed her own views.

Gu Chen thought about it for a while, and said slowly: "You can understand it that way."

Just at this time, He Junchao called.

Gu Chen quickly swiped the answer button and asked, "Brother He, what's the matter?"

"Gu Chen, you asked me to investigate where Liu Wenjie went after he disappeared from the Movie House. I found a car here that matches your investigation."

On the phone, He Junchao's response was also extremely excited.

Gu Chen also quickly asked: "What's the situation with that car?"

He Junchao on the phone quickly replied: "It was a van, and the time was exactly the day Liu Wenjie disappeared from the Photography House."

"The direction is correct, heading to the upper reaches of the river. There were many cars going there that day, but few passed by the Photography House and went to the upper reaches of the river."

"This car in particular was acting suspiciously. It stayed near the Photography House for a while before leaving."

"Then it headed towards the suburbs, which is the upper reaches of the river, and disappeared."

"I guess the vehicle should be parked in a wilderness area in the suburbs. So many days have passed and it has not appeared again, so I feel that this car is very suspicious."

"What are the characteristics of the driver?" Gu Chen asked quickly.

"The driver was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, so his appearance could not be seen clearly. And judging from the registration information of the car, it has been changed many times, so it may have been sold repeatedly."

"The current owner of the car is a man named Liu Xiaojun, but Liu Xiaojun is 70 years old, and the driver is obviously not that old."

"Send me the owner's information. Also, mark the area where the car was last seen. We will go there to investigate right away." said Gu Chen.

"No problem, I'll send it to you right away," said He Junchao.

The two of them communicated briefly for a while before hanging up the phone.

After receiving the message from He Junchao, Gu Chen immediately started the car and drove towards the suburbs.

……

……

In the car, Gu Chen also gave everyone a brief report:

"The owner of the van is Liu Xiaojun, a 70-year-old man. The driver's identity and appearance are unknown."

"But what is certain is that this van appeared near the Photography House on the day Liu Wenjie disappeared, and then drove towards the suburbs, where it lost its target. It may have stopped in a wilderness area."

"This area happens to be the upper reaches of the river, which is the same area where Liu Wenjie was killed, so what we need to do now is to find the car and find out the identity of the driver."

"I hope we can gain something this time and quickly find the whereabouts of this driver." Lu Weiwei sighed after listening to Gu Chen's report.
