I am a super cop

Inside the clinic, Lu Weiwei saw Dr. Zhao standing there in a daze, and quickly reminded him:

"Doctor Zhao, Doctor Zhao."

"Ah?" Dr. Zhao came back to his senses and quickly looked at Lu Weiwei.

"Do you think it looks alike?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"Resemble, too much like. I really didn't expect Director Gu's character sketching skills to be so high."

Pointing to the sketch on the paper, Dr. Zhao couldn't help but sigh: "Before you drew this picture, I had no impression of him at all, but when you drew this picture, I felt like this person appeared in front of me."

"Is there anything else that needs to be modified?" Gu Chen asked quickly after hearing this.

"Well, let me think about it." Doctor Zhao immediately fell into thought, and then said:

"His forehead bone should be higher, and the flesh on his cheeks should be less. His ears...his ears should be longer."

As Dr. Zhao made revisions over and over again, the sketch on the paper became more and more three-dimensional.

When Gu Chen modified the last position and gave it to Doctor Zhao again, Doctor Zhao nodded silently and said without hesitation:
"Yes, that's it. That's what the man looks like."

"Are you sure?" Gu Chen asked.

Doctor Zhao nodded silently: "It's almost certain, but this person is definitely not from our town. I have never seen him before."

"I saw that he was covered in wounds and asked him what happened. He said he fell down the mountain and didn't say anything else. He just asked me to help treat his wounds."

With a sigh, Doctor Zhao slowly said, "I didn't think about anything at the time. I just treated his wound briefly."

Doctor Zhao provided Gu Chen with a lot of information about the wound, which made Gu Chen feel that the injured person might be the murderer of Liu Wenjie.

So Gu Chen handed the sketch to Xu Wenjie and said, "Old Xu, can you mobilize the surveillance cameras in Nanou Town to find this person's whereabouts?"

"Uh……"

Xu Wenjie was a little embarrassed, but he still agreed: "Okay, we will start investigating immediately after we return."

"Let's check it now and go back now." said Gu Chen.

So after saying goodbye to Dr. Zhao, everyone rushed back to the Nanou Town Police Station.

Everyone stayed in the monitoring room and began to check the surveillance videos from a few days ago.

Xu Wenjie also began to look for the whereabouts of the injured person.

The surveillance footage on the road soon came to that afternoon. Not long after, Lu Weiwei found the man in the footage and quickly reminded everyone:

"Look, that's the man."

Seeing this, everyone immediately gathered around the surveillance camera.

In the picture, a man is sneaking around, constantly appearing on the edge of the surveillance screen, and seems to be avoiding surveillance.

Then the surveillance screen switched, and the man's front face was captured again in the area near the clinic. He was almost exactly the same as the man in Gu Chen's drawing.

"That's him." Officer Wang saw this and quickly said:
"This guy was sneaky and obviously trying to evade surveillance. Moreover, his destination was the clinic."

"Can we figure out this guy's previous position?" Gu Chen said.

"Okay." Xu Wenjie did as he was told and soon discovered that the man seemed to be active near the town.

So they continued to reverse the surveillance footage and found that the man had appeared in the town for several consecutive days.

Everyone immediately looked at Xu Wenjie.

Lu Weiwei also asked quickly: "Old Xu, didn't you say that he is not from your Nanou town? Why has he been active in your town all this time?"

"Uh, this... maybe he came here recently? I'm not sure, I haven't seen this person before." Xu Wenjie seemed a little embarrassed.

Gu Chen spoke for Xu Wenjie, "It's understandable that Old Xu doesn't know. Even Doctor Zhao doesn't know either, which means this person only came here recently."

"Yes, he might have come here recently." Xu Wenjie said.

"Then this person should live near the town." said Officer Wang.

"Let me look for it." Xu Wenjie also started looking immediately.

After repeated tracking in the monitoring room, everyone finally locked the destination on a residential building near the town.

"This is it, it should be here. I know this house. It belongs to an elderly widower. He usually lives alone at home and his health is not very good." Xu Wenjie finally gave some useful clues.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen quickly asked again: "Doesn't this old man usually have any children around him?"

"No, the children in my family all work in other places, and sometimes they don't even come home for the New Year."

"I come back once every one or two years. There's no one to take care of me. After my husband passed away, I lived alone. I usually hang out in the town and play chess with the old people there."

"However, I have never heard of any relatives living in his home. Maybe this man is his distant relative."

"Let's go and take a look." Gu Chen looked at the time and suggested.

Xu Wenjie was about to remind them that it was already early in the morning, but after thinking about it, this matter was of great importance, so he agreed:
"Okay, let's go there now."

……

……

The streets of Nanou Town were particularly deserted in the early morning, with almost no pedestrians except for the street lights. Two police cars crossed the street and came directly to the door of a two-story house in the suburbs.

After the vehicle stopped, the dogs around the house began barking.

After getting off the car, Xu Wenjie walked directly into the yard and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock knock. Is anyone home? Knock knock knock."

There was a knock on the door, and the lights in the room suddenly came on. Then everyone heard the sound of slippers tapping towards the door.

The living room door opened, and a white-haired old man looked towards the door curiously:
"You...have something wrong?"

"Old man, have you seen this person?" Xu Wenjie showed the photo of the man on the surveillance screen.

The old man took a look and his expression suddenly turned ugly: "This person... seems to be my tenant."

"Your tenant? What's going on? Haven't you always lived alone at home? Why? You rented the house to outsiders?" Xu Wenjie expressed his curiosity.

The white-haired old man also said slowly: "Yes, someone came over that day and asked me if I wanted to rent out my house. Because I am the only one living here, most of the rooms are empty."

"I asked him, who told you that I have a room for rent?"

"So what did he say?" asked Officer Wang.

"He said he asked a few chess players and that's what they said," the old man responded.

Gu Chen thought about it for a while and continued to ask: "Did he tell me what he was doing here?" "I did ask him, he said he just came from another place and wanted to see if there was any development here, and wanted to do some business, like agricultural products business."

"But because the rent in the city is more expensive, he set his sights on the surrounding towns, thinking that houses in the towns are cheaper, and the bus will go directly here, which is more cost-effective."

"So, he lives in your house?" Xu Wenjie asked.

The old man nodded silently: "Yes, anyway, the house is so big and not many people live in it. If he gives me rent, I can also make some extra money every month, isn't that good? So I rented it to him."

"What about others?" Yuan Shasha asked.

Seeing the police's attitude, the white-haired old man seemed to realize that something was wrong, so he quickly asked:

"No, did something happen to him? Or did he commit a crime?"

"No." Seeing the old man say this, Gu Chen quickly denied:
"We were just investigating a case. A suspect was injured, so we checked and found that your tenant was also injured."

"Yes, he was injured too." Hearing what Gu Chen said, the old man quickly agreed:
"A few days ago, he seemed to have fallen down a mountain and had injuries all over his body. When he was taking a shower at night, I saw that he had bandages all over his body, so I asked him about it."

"He said he slipped down the mountain and ended up sliding halfway up the mountain, with many parts of his body scratched by rocks."

"I was wondering at the time, why did he go up the mountain for no reason?"

"He told me that he wanted to develop an outdoor hiking route and do outdoor camping and stuff."

"Although I don't quite understand what he's saying, it has nothing to do with me. I just hope he's safe and pays the rent every month."

"So where is he now?" Gu Chen asked.

The old man shook his head: "I don't know about that. He is often not at home. When I asked him, he was out for something."

"Anyway, I gave him a key to the front door. He can come back anytime he wants. I don't care where he goes."

"Which room is he in?" Gu Chen asked quickly.

The old man pointed to one of the rooms: "That one."

"Do you have the key?" asked Officer Wang.

"Yes, wait a moment." The old man turned around and went to his room, then found a bunch of keys in a drawer, walked to the door of the room, and opened it with the key.

Everyone went in immediately and turned on the lights.

I found that there was nothing here except a bed, a wooden cabinet, a bedside table, and a few chairs.

The man's bed only had some simple quilts.

Even the closet was empty.

The surroundings were also empty and there were basically no personal belongings to be seen.

"This is so strange." Officer Wang looked around and then at the old man and asked:

"This is your tenant's room? Are you sure?"

"Yes." The old man nodded silently and said without hesitation:
"My tenant lives in this room. I don't usually come in. After all, it's someone else's room."

After a pause, the old man continued to look around and couldn't help but sigh:

"But this room is too empty. How come this guy doesn't have any clothes?"

"He may be using this place as a temporary shelter." Gu Chen said casually after seeing all this.

The old man asked curiously: "Shelter? What does that mean?"

"In Jiangnan City, he may have many such rental rooms, which he uses to hide after committing crimes." Before Gu Chen could speak, Lu Weiwei went straight to the point.

The old man was a little confused, and couldn't help but sigh: "Could it be that the person you are looking for, that is, my tenant, is a person who has committed a crime, right?"

"It's possible." Gu Chen didn't say it too absolutely.

But the old man panicked and said without hesitation: "But this has nothing to do with me. I don't know what's going on with him."

After taking a deep breath and trying to calm down, the old man continued:
"I just want to earn some rent. I don't think about anything else. I don't know who he is."

"Do you have a rental contract?" Yuan Shasha suddenly asked, also wanting to find the man's personal information from the rental contract.

But the old man shook his head and said, "What kind of rental contract is this? It's just a verbal agreement. He transfers the rent to me every quarter and then pays me a month's rent deposit. I don't really care about anything else."

"For water and electricity, he just needs to give a little every month, because he is usually not at home and does not use much water and electricity."

"Why don't you even prepare a rental contract? This is too informal." Upon hearing this, Officer Wang said unhappily.

After all, there is no rental contract, so the other party's identity is unclear.

The old man was also at a loss for words, and quickly explained: "How could I know these things? I am already old, and someone came to rent a room from me. The conditions here are not very good, and the room is also rather simple."

"It's good enough to have people renting the house. I'm satisfied with the rent every quarter. As for the rental contracts, they are too formal. I find them troublesome and don't bother with them."

With a sigh, the old man said, "If he really committed a crime, then you should arrest him immediately."

"The key is that we don't know where he is." Xu Wenjie was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

The old man also smiled bitterly and said, "Then you can wait here. He may be back tomorrow. If he comes back, I will call you to inform you."

"How do you usually contact each other? Do you have his phone number? Is the rent transferred by bank transfer or something?" Gu Chen asked.

The old man also said slowly: "There was a phone call. When he paid the rent, he paid in cash."

"However, he only paid for one quarter, but he has lived with me for less than a month."

"Does he go out every day?" Lu Weiwei asked.

The old man nodded silently: "About the same, during this period, he was often out and often didn't come back."

"I was quite puzzled at the time. It seemed like this person rented a house but often didn't come back to live there."

"I thought it was strange before, but I never opened the door to his room."

"But when I opened the door with the key today, I was also very curious. How come he didn't even have a piece of luggage or a piece of clothing? It was really strange."

The old man felt strange because the room was empty and didn't look like a place where anyone had lived.

Simply put, the only thing left in the room was the bed.

And Gu Chen certainly knew that if this person was the murderer of Liu Wenjie, then he had been planning and preparing from the very beginning.

Including how to deal with Liu Wenjie, or planning the kidnapping of female group member Zhao Xiaomin.
