I am a super cop

Chapter 2977: Relief
In the interrogation room, Lu Weiwei also said unhappily: "Xu Guang, you don't think that we can't do anything to you if you don't say a word, do you?"

"Do you really think you can escape legal responsibility by keeping silent? It's a foregone conclusion that you kidnapped Zhao Xiaomin, so why did you imprison her in the scrapyard? What is your purpose in coming here?"

"For money." After a long silence, Xu Guang raised his head and said slowly.

"For money? You kidnapped Zhao Xiaomin for ransom?" Officer Wang looked confused. After all, this seemed very unreasonable.

But Xu Guang nodded silently and said without hesitation: "I kidnapped Zhao Xiaomin for money, otherwise why would I take such a big risk?"

"Who do you want to extort money from?" Yuan Shasha asked.

"I don't know." Xu Guang shook his head.

Officer Wang was so angry that he slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Xu Guang, you'd better not play tricks in front of us."

"You said you kidnapped Zhao Xiaomin for money, but you don't even know who you're trying to extort money from. So what's the point of kidnapping?"

"Haha, I really don't know." Facing Officer Wang's rebuke, Xu Guang smiled faintly, as if he didn't care at all.

This confused Officer Wang, who continued to ask Xu Guang: "Xu Guang, you said you didn't know who to extort money from, so how did you get the money by kidnapping Zhao Xiaomin?"

"Because someone gave me money." Xu Guang said calmly, his emotions were unusually stable.

Everyone looked at each other, as if they felt there was something else going on.

So Gu Chen asked Xu Guang again: "Are you saying that someone paid you to kidnap Zhao Xiaomin?"

"Yes." In response to Gu Chen's question, Xu Guang nodded silently and answered quite straightforwardly.

Gu Chen looked doubtful and continued to question Xu Guang: "Weren't you in the scrap recycling business before? Why didn't you continue with your old business? Why did you do something illegal?"

"Because I have no choice." Facing Gu Chen's question, Xu Guang sighed and said helplessly:

"If I had a choice, I would definitely not choose this one. Isn't this the only solution?"

Gu Chen frowned and continued to ask: "What is the reason?"

"I'm a gambler and I owe a lot of money. I lost everything including my house." Xu Guang lowered his head and sighed helplessly:

"I originally wanted to continue the scrap collection business, but there are too many people doing this business, and it takes a lot of capital to do this kind of scrap collection business."

"The daily cash flow must be sufficient, because you buy these waste products, and you just make a profit from the price difference, and those who provide me with waste products need to settle the payment in person every day."

"I have to pay according to how much waste I collect. This business is all about cash flow. It won't work if you owe money."

With a heavy sigh, Xu Guang continued to explain: "So I don't have the capital. If I want to continue doing this business and make money, it is basically impossible."

"First, it requires capital investment, and second, the profit cycle is relatively slow. If it was in the early years, like when I first started, there were fewer people doing this business, so there was money to be made."

After a pause, Xu Guang couldn't help but sigh: "Like the fat guy you caught, that guy used to work under me."

"Because we are from the same hometown, I take care of him more and he is more loyal."

"I made some money during those years, and I became a bit carefree. I started gambling and going to various entertainment venues."

"The fat guy saw how much money I was making, so he also suggested going out on his own, but he didn't want to compete with me for business, so he had to go to another place, so he came here."

With a sigh, Xu Guang was filled with emotion and said, "But I didn't expect that this kid would become famous and the scale of his business would get bigger and bigger."

"On the other hand, after doing this for a long time, I no longer have the same drive as before. I got involved in gambling and lost everything I had, even my house and car."

"It's impossible to do my old business again, so I said I came here to find a way out and go to other areas to buy scrap. In fact, I was just fooling him because I couldn't do it at all because I didn't have the capital."

"So does he know Zhao Xiaomin, the person you kidnapped?" asked Officer Wang.

Xu Guang shook his head: "I don't know him."

"Why are you kidnapping someone without even knowing you?" Officer Wang said unhappily when he heard this.

But Xu Guang said calmly: "But the employer pays me, so I am willing to give it a try."

"How much?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"30."

"30? You kidnap someone just for 30? Are you crazy?" When Lu Weiwei heard this answer, she felt incredible.

But Xu Guang snorted twice and said without hesitation: "You may think that 30 is nothing, but for someone who has nowhere else to go, 30 can give me the capital to turn things around."

"In this era of indifference, if you want to borrow 30 yuan from others, it is harder than climbing to the sky, especially if you are a person who gambled everything and owed a lot of debts."

"It's good enough that I'm not hiding from you, but you still expect someone to give you 30?"

Having said this, Xu Guang sighed unwillingly, and then slowly said:
"I know that it is better to rely on myself than on others. At this time, an employer is willing to pay me 30 yuan to kidnap someone. Why shouldn't I go?"

"Because I no longer have any chance of turning things around. All my previous luck has been used up. I don't have any capital anymore."

"At this time, I want to turn things around. I know that this 30 yuan is very important to me. I must get this 30 yuan."

"Who is the employer?" Looking at Xu Guang's resentful expression, Gu Chen asked calmly.

Xu Guang said calmly: "Liu Wenjie."

"Liu Wenjie?" When hearing this name, almost everyone was stunned at the same time.

Yuan Shasha was also incredulous: "You mean, the person who paid you 30 yuan to kidnap Zhao Xiaomin, a member of the girl group, was Liu Wenjie? The freelance photographer Liu Wenjie?"

"Yes." Seeing Yuan Shasha say this, Xu Guang nodded silently.

Yuan Shasha shook her head. "Impossible? Liu Wenjie and Zhao Xiaomin don't seem to have any conflicts. Why would he spend 30 yuan to ask you to kidnap Zhao Xiaomin?"

"How would I know that?" Facing Yuan Shasha's question, Xu Guang shook his head and said without hesitation: "I only take the money and do the work. The rest is none of my business."

"How did you get to know Liu Wenjie?" Gu Chen frowned and continued to ask.

After all, Gu Chen had thought about connecting the two together before, but he didn't know what the connection between them was?

Is there at least some connection between Liu Wenjie and Zhao Xiaomin? Gu Chen has no evidence yet.

Xu Guang nodded silently and said without hesitation: "I have been to Jiangnan City once before. I stayed there for a while, but not for a long time."

"What are you doing here?" Gu Chen had already grasped this clue, so he continued to ask. Xu Guang sighed and said, "Because I'm heavily in debt, I thought of coming here to find something to do and see if I can find some opportunities to make money."

"So, I wandered around here for a while, and it was during that time that I met Liu Wenjie."

"How did you two meet? Can you be more specific?" Lu Weiwei urged.

Xu Guang sighed and said slowly: "It was actually a coincidence. At that time, I was poor and had no money to stay, so I could only sleep under the viaduct."

"At that time, Liu Wenjie happened to be taking photos of customers in that area and noticed me."

"Then we chatted for a while, and I told him about my experience. He expressed his sympathy, and seeing that I had even spent all my money on food, he gave me some money. That's when we met."

"At that time, did Liu Wenjie mention the kidnapping to you? After all, he contacted you for some purpose," said Officer Wang.

But Xu Guang shook his head: "At that time, Liu Wenjie didn't ask me for anything. He just gave me relief so that I could have more meals. I am very grateful to him."

"After all, for someone as poor as me, I am grateful that someone helped me in times of crisis."

"Later, I saw that there was no development here, so I returned home in poverty."

"But one day later, I suddenly received a call from Liu Wenjie. I thought we had exchanged contact information before, and he called me this time to discuss the kidnapping."

"What are the specific contents?" Lu Weiwei asked.

Xu Guang sighed and said slowly: "The general meaning is that he gave me 30 yuan and asked me to kidnap someone."

"I asked him why. He told me not to ask. He said it was because I was from another place, so he wanted me to make the money."

"He told me that he could give me a 10 yuan deposit first, and then give me the remaining 20 yuan after the deal was done."

"Why does he believe that you won't run away with the 10 deposit?" Officer Wang asked curiously when he heard this.

Xu Guang snorted and laughed, "Run? For 10 yuan? Because 10 yuan is not enough for me to turn over a new leaf."

"Liu Wenjie knew my situation very well. He knew I needed some money to turn my life around. This sum of money was exactly 30 yuan."

"So he offered me 30 yuan to kidnap someone for him."

"If it's possible, then I'll take the 10 yuan. If it's not possible, he doesn't want the 10 yuan and just give it to me."

After listening to Xu Guang's words, Gu Chen and others looked at each other, seeming to feel that Liu Wenjie was a very powerful person.

He was able to accurately see through Xu Guang's thoughts and knew that Xu Guang really needed the money.

So he deliberately used 10 yuan as bait.

If an ordinary person took the 10 yuan, he might not work for him at all, but this was Xu Guang who needed the money the most.

Just as Xu Guang said, when a person is poor and destitute with no chance of turning his life around, if suddenly someone wants to give you some money and do something for him, then this is undoubtedly a timely help.

Of course, spending 30 yuan to kidnap a person seems to be a difficult choice.

Because Xu Guang might be caught by the police for the 30 yuan, but Xu Guang just happened to be a gambler.

He has lost all his fortune in gambling and now has nothing and is heavily in debt.

For Xu Guang, this was precisely his last chance to gamble.

If he succeeds, he can get 30 yuan. If he fails, he will spend the rest of his life in prison.

But in order to turn his life around, Xu Guang finally couldn't resist the temptation and chose to accept the 30 yuan from Liu Wenjie.

Hearing Xu Guang's answer, Gu Chen also sighed, quite regretful, but continued to ask:

"Xu Guang, what exactly did Liu Wenjie want you to do?"

"He told me about Zhao Xiaomin's activity patterns and asked me to make arrangements in advance for a hiding place after the kidnapping."

After a pause, Xu Guang continued, "Because I had some friendship with this fat brother before, I thought of using the excuse of coming here to investigate the market to conduct an on-site inspection of his scrap factory and pretend to stay there for a few days."

"I used this time to observe the surrounding environment and finally determined that after kidnapping Zhao Xiaomin, she should be hidden here."

"Because the scrapyard is located in the suburbs, and there is not much traffic around it, it is in the wilderness."

"Also, there are a lot of waste materials piled up here, which can serve as a cover to the greatest extent."

"So once I was sure of everything, I started to take action."

"So what is your action plan?" asked Officer Wang.

"Steal a car first." Xu Guang took a deep breath and said slowly:
"First, steal a car that the owner rarely uses, then wait for Zhao Xiaomin at a place she often passes by, knock her out when she's not paying attention, take her into the car, and then, after various moves, take her to the scrapyard under cover of night."

"You are so cunning." Lu Weiwei couldn't help but snorted coldly after listening to Xu Guang's story.

But Xu Guang said indifferently: "I have already lived this kind of life, what else can I do?"

"If I don't give it a try this time, my life will be over."

Listening to Xu Guang's unwilling words, Gu Chen sighed and continued to ask:

"After you kidnapped Zhao Xiaomin, did you go to see Liu Wenjie?"

"Yes." Facing Gu Chen's questioning, Xu Guang nodded silently.

"Where did you meet?" Gu Chen asked.

"At a place called the House of Photography. At that time, I drove over to pick him up, and then we went to the suburbs together."

"Did you go to a riverside in the suburbs?" Yuan Shasha asked quickly after hearing this.

Xu Guang nodded silently: "Yes, we went there, but I just took him there."

"Where did you take him? Be clear, by the river or by the road?" Officer Wang continued to urge Xu Guang in response to his ambiguous answer.

Xu Guang hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "It's by the river."

"Then, you pushed Liu Wenjie into the river, right?" asked Officer Wang.
