I am a super cop

In the room, Gu Chen and everyone looked at each other. Zhang Linlin's words provided everyone with some new ideas.

"You mean, this supervisor was parachuted in? And he had a quarrel with your General Manager Liao?" Gu Chen asked.

"Yes." Zhang Linlin nodded silently and said without hesitation:

"But I don't know what this has to do with kidnapping? Because this is a normal situation."

"What's the name of that supervisor?" Lu Weiwei asked curiously.

Zhang Linlin thought for a moment and quickly said, "His name is Zhao Lei."

"Okay, if you know anything else, remember to inform us as soon as possible," said Officer Wang.

"Yes." Zhang Linlin was also very nervous at the moment. After answering the question, she quickly asked:
"Then...will I be in danger? What if the murderer is really Zhao Lei? After all, he is closely tied to Liu Wenjie, and I'm afraid he will cause trouble for me."

Hearing Zhang Linlin's words, Gu Chen also asked: "Do you have a cell phone?"

"I've bought a new mobile phone," said Zhang Linlin.

Gu Chen nodded silently and continued, "Keep the door closed at all times. If there is anything unusual, remember to call the police immediately. Also, pay more attention to suspicious people around you."

"Okay." Seeing Gu Chen say this, Zhang Linlin also tried to calm down, and then said: "I understand."

……

……

After leaving Zhang Linlin's apartment, Gu Chen immediately asked He Junchao to investigate Zhao Lei's situation.

After retrieving multiple videos, He Junchao finally found a breakthrough.

In the office, He Junchao quickly reported, "Gu Chen, I found it."

"What did you find?" Gu Chen asked hurriedly after hearing this.

"There's something wrong with this Zhao Lei. He didn't go to work on the day Xu Guang drove Liu Wenjie to the riverside in the suburbs."

"Moreover, he drove to that location very early, but he seemed to have parked the car far away and walked to the riverside."

"Is the evidence reliable?" Gu Chen asked.

He Junchao quickly analyzed the situation with Gu Chen: "First of all, Zhao Lei drove to this place very early, and he parked his car on another road."

After the words fell, He Junchao also clicked on the map and began to analyze with Gu Chen:

"Look, this is the road. It's the same road Xu Guang took to send Liu Wenjie to the riverside and then took a taxi away from another road."

"Zhao Lei, who had parked his car on this road, soon stopped moving. I guess he must have crossed the path and came to the road near the river, and then went to the cliff from another location."

"Because, judging from the map, it is entirely possible that Zhao Lei would go through the path on the left and wait for Liu Wenjie in the open space by the river."

While He Junchao was speaking, Gu Chen began to zoom in on the map and soon discovered the problem.

There is indeed another route on the map.

Seeing this scene, Gu Chen also said slowly: "So, Zhao Lei is very likely the mastermind behind the meeting with Liu Wenjie."

"Yes, it's very likely." He Junchao also retrieved a surveillance video while speaking, and said:

"You see, he parked his car on the side of that suburban road in the morning and left very late."

"So what was he doing during this time? He was meeting with Liu Wenjie and discussing things with him."

"After he killed Liu Wenjie, he left in a hurry. The timing also matches."

"Besides, Zhao Lei is very strong, it is entirely possible that he could subdue Liu Wenjie by himself, strangle him to death, and then throw him into the river. This is entirely possible."

"Moreover, their relationship has been confirmed. Liu Wenjie took advantage of Zhao Lei's position as a manager in the MCN agency and received many orders for shooting daily videos and photos for the female anchors."

"In addition, Zhao Lei also received a lot of kickbacks from Liu Wenjie. This is a win-win situation for both of them."

"So the two of them had the conditions to work together. If Liu Wenjie's death was murder, then as his partner, Zhao Lei's reaction was too normal."

"Especially in the kidnapping of Zhao Xiaomin and the murder of Liu Wenjie, he completely meets the criteria of being the mastermind behind the scenes."

Listening to He Junchao's analysis, Gu Chen was also thoughtful.

After all, the situations that He Junchao described are also the issues that he has been thinking about.

Zhao Lei was indeed a major suspect, so Gu Chen quickly reminded Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, saying:
"Let's go and capture Zhao Lei and interrogate him. Also, Senior Brother He, please help check where Zhao Lei is now?"

"Okay." After a while, He Junchao found Zhao Lei's residence and said:
"He lives in an apartment near the company. I have sent you the address."

"Got it." Gu Chen glanced at his phone and then said, "Let's go find Zhao Lei."

……

……

At 7 o'clock in the evening, all the lights are on.

The apartment building where Zhao Lei lived was brightly lit. Since it was near a business district, the occupancy rate of the apartment was very high. Gu Chen came to the door of Zhao Lei's apartment according to the address, and Lu Weiwei knocked on the door.

“Knock knock knock, is anyone there?”

After a while, there was a noise in the house: "Who is it?"

Gu Chen and the others didn't say anything, and the footsteps in the room were getting closer and closer. Soon, the door opened.

Zhao Lei, who was wearing glasses, was also shocked when he saw Gu Chen and the others.

"We meet again." Gu Chen said with a faint smile.

After all, they had met before at the door of Zhao Xiaomin's house.

At that time, Zhao Lei also provided Gu Chen with the video of Zhao Xiaomin being kidnapped.

Looking at Gu Chen in front of him, Zhao Lei also smiled slightly and quickly greeted him: "It turns out to be Officer Gu? Why are you here? Haven't had dinner yet? Do you want to come to my house for dinner?"

"No, we've already eaten." Gu Chen also politely declined.

"Oh, then... then come in and sit for a while?" Zhao Lei knew very well that one would not visit someone for no reason.

The police came here so late, so there must be something wrong.

At Zhao Lei's invitation, Gu Chen and others walked into Zhao Lei's apartment.

At this moment, Zhao Lei was cooking dumplings, also busy with a large bowl.

Gu Chen and his companions came to the living room and sat down casually. Zhao Lei came over with dumplings in his hand and said with a smile:
"I haven't had dinner yet, sorry."

"It's okay, we can talk while we eat." Officer Wang also smiled. Zhao Lei felt a little embarrassed, but he still enjoyed it.

Officer Wang then spoke up, "You and that, what? The guy called...Liu Wenjie, you should be quite familiar with each other, right?"

When Officer Wang asked in a roundabout way, Zhao Lei was stunned for a moment, and the chopsticks in his hand paused for a moment.

But after a moment, Zhao Lei continued to use his chopsticks and said with a smile: "That Liu Wenjie? You mean, Zhang Linlin's boyfriend?"

"Yes, it's him." Seeing Zhao Lei's reply, Officer Wang quickly agreed.

"Haha, I know him, but not very well." After saying this, Zhao Lei continued eating dumplings.

Officer Wang said "Oh", nodded silently, and then glanced at his other colleagues.

Gu Chen also asked casually: "Then how did you two know each other?"

"Haha, how did they know each other? It's very simple, because his girlfriend is Zhang Linlin, and Zhang Linlin is the anchor of our company."

"Once, the photographer in our company resigned and we needed to find a photographer, but we didn't know which one would be suitable."

At that time, our company was not as big as it is now, and Mr. Liao, with the idea of ​​saving as much as possible, asked me to help find a part-time photographer. "

"There is work to be done, just come and take some pictures, and I'll get my revenge by the day."

"It just so happened that there weren't many female anchors in our company at the time, so our CEO Liao made his own plans."

"What I mean is, we need to find a part-time photographer to take daily videos and photos of our company's female anchors in two or three days."

"This way, our company can also save money on hiring a photographer."

“Although the daily pay is higher, it is still a good deal overall.”

"So, I heard that Zhang Linlin's boyfriend seemed to be a freelance photographer, so I asked him at work, and then she gave me a contact number."

"So, I contacted Liu Wenjie, and we hit it off immediately. He was very willing to come to our company to work as a photographer on a daily basis."

After a pause, Zhao Lei swallowed a dumpling and quickly said:

“So, that’s how we met.”

"Then you should have a good relationship." Seeing Zhao Lei say this, Yuan Shasha also asked quickly.

Zhao Lei smiled and waved his hand: "No, no, my relationship with him is just like that."

"As a company manager, I have to interact with a lot of people every day, so some things are just discussed on a case-by-case basis."

"Liu Wenjie is dead. Did you know about this?" As soon as Zhao Lei finished speaking, Lu Weiwei also hurriedly said.

Zhao Lei was stunned for a moment, and then slowly said, "I heard that Mr. Liao from our company said so."

"When I first heard the news, I was also shocked. I didn't expect he would drown."

With a sigh, Zhao Lei continued to use his chopsticks and started eating. Then he said:
"But then again, I don't have much in common with him."

"Haha, no intersection? I'm afraid you need to make this clear." Seeing that Zhao Lei looked as if it had nothing to do with him, Officer Wang quickly spoke up.

Zhao Lei was stunned for a moment, then he looked up at Officer Wang and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Where did you go on the day Liu Wenjie was killed?" Lu Weiwei didn't bother to be polite with Zhao Lei and went straight to the point.

Zhao Lei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Where...where should I go? Where can I go?"

"You happened to not be at work that day, and you went to a place Liu Wenjie had been to." Lu Weiwei also went straight to the point.

Only then did Zhao Lei realize that the police seemed to be well prepared and had investigated him before.

But at this moment, Zhao Lei was still very calm, and smiled and said, "Did you make a mistake?"

As soon as Zhao Lei finished speaking, Lu Weiwei took out her cell phone and showed Zhao Lei the surveillance camera photos of him driving. She said:

"This person is you, right? The driver. Also, this car is yours, right?"

Looking at himself in the photo, Zhao Lei's face suddenly turned ugly, but Zhao Lei pretended to be calm and said with a smile:
"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"You weren't at work that day, so why did you drive to the suburbs?" asked Officer Wang.

"I'm just... just wandering around."

"Just strolling around? I don't think it's that simple. Don't fool me." Police Officer Wang also said jokingly.

Zhao Lei smiled faintly and replied jokingly: "How could that be possible? Why would I fool you?"

"As you know, I am very busy at work and often have to travel to different cities on business trips."

"Especially with the sudden popularity of the company's girl group, I couldn't stop at all. I had to work day and night."

"I travel through this city of steel and concrete every day. Sometimes I feel really tired and my chest feels stuffy."

"So I went to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor told me that I couldn't stay in the city all the time, couldn't sit in the office all the time, and should go to the suburbs to breathe fresh air and relax myself."

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Lei sighed helplessly: "I thought about it and it made sense, so I agreed."

"Then, during holidays, whenever I have free time, I go to the suburbs and breathe some fresh air."

"You know what, the doctor really didn't lie to me. My health problems have been alleviated very quickly, so I will continue to go out more often during the holidays in the future."

Listening to Zhao Lei's well-organized reply, Gu Chen's heart was calm, and he also said slowly: "But you happened to go to the place where Liu Wenjie went that day."

"You have to know that when Liu Wenjie left the Photography House, he came and went without a trace. The surveillance cameras couldn't find where he went."

"Later, we conducted an in-depth investigation and caught the murderer who kidnapped Zhao Xiaomin. The guy told us that he was the one who took Liu Wenjie away in a van."

"Afterwards, the guy drove Liu Wenjie to the suburbs and followed him to an open space by the river, where Liu Wenjie was going to meet someone."

"Then the man left, but Liu Wenjie died in the river."

"It must be this man who killed him, without a doubt." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Zhao Lei quickly agreed.

But Gu Chen shook his head: "That man did not kill Liu Wenjie. Liu Wenjie was his employer. It was Liu Wenjie who hired the murderer to kidnap Zhao Xiaomin."

"If Liu Wenjie is killed, then this person won't get the final payment, right? He worked so hard just to earn some money."

"So this person didn't have to kill Liu Wenjie, and Zhao Xiaomin was kidnapped only after Liu Wenjie died."

"But if Liu Wenjie was killed by this murderer, then why did this murderer continue to kidnap Zhao Xiaomin?"
