I am a super cop

Chapter 2993 Vanished Like a Bubble
Inside the room, everyone learned a lot of information from the fat man, and objectively speaking, they gained a certain understanding of the deceased.

"Tech geek, short-tempered, and a terrible person"—that's how the fat man described him.

However, the fat man seemed to know nothing about who the deceased had contacted that afternoon.

So Gu Chen told him to go back to the next room and not to talk, and then he asked him to call over the blond-haired A-Ming.

"Have a seat." Officer Wang asked Ah Ming, who had blond hair, to sit down as he entered the room.

Amin cooperated well, sitting there motionless, seemingly feeling a bit nervous about what was happening.

Everyone noticed that Amin's hands and legs were trembling, as if he was overly nervous.

So Lu Weiwei reminded her, "You seem to be trembling all over?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Amin also checked his own condition.

He then shifted his body to try and calm himself down, saying, "I'm sorry, I am indeed a little nervous."

"Relax, we just want to talk to you." Seeing this, Lu Weiwei quickly reassured him, then asked Amin:

What was your relationship with the deceased?

“I was a colleague of the deceased,” Amin said in a low voice.

This seems to be quite different from the fat man's description.

According to the man next to him, Amin was someone who dared to challenge the deceased, and also someone the big boss admired.

Yet this very person was so nervous in the room.

This contrast has left everyone with some doubts.

So Lu Weiwei continued to probe him: "What's your relationship like?"

“That’s great,” Amin echoed.

Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, turned her head and exchanged glances with everyone, seemingly indicating that this was completely different from what the man next to her had said.

However, no one discussed this topic further. Officer Wang continued, "So, you mean your relationship with the deceased was always quite good, right? There were no conflicts?"

"No." Upon hearing this, Amin shook his head.

Officer Wang chuckled and continued to remind him, "I need to remind you that we are currently investigating this death."

"Therefore, you need to be responsible for everything you say. You are not allowed to lie, otherwise you will bear serious consequences, understand?"

"I...I understand." Upon hearing Officer Wang's words, A-Ming nodded silently.

Then Officer Wang asked him, "So, what was your relationship with the deceased?"

"Huh?" Ah Ming seemed a little confused when Officer Wang asked the same question again.

But soon, Amin composed himself and replied, "Our relationship... it's... it's alright, isn't it?"

"What do you mean by 'okay'? Does it mean very good, excellent, or not so good?" Lu Weiwei asked jokingly.

Amin lowered his head and slowly said, "Sometimes we argue."

"Can you please speak clearly? Don't be vague," Gu Chen reminded him repeatedly.

At this moment, Amin seemed to realize that talking like this wasn't a solution.

Moreover, the three of them were called in separately for questioning. Even if you say one thing, but the others say another, it would only increase suspicion on you.

After considering this, Amin sighed and slowly said:

"Actually, my relationship with the deceased wasn't that good."

"What's the reason?" Officer Wang asked.

Ah Ming sighed and slowly said, "Because Brother Liu has a bad temper, he says things that are particularly unpleasant."

"But for someone like me, if you talk to me nicely, I'll listen to you. But if you yell at me or curse at me, then I'm sorry, I'll definitely talk back."

With a sigh, Amin slowly said, "It is precisely because of this that there are many conflicts between Brother Liu and me."

"However, this is just a conflict between us because we don't get along, but I absolutely have no intention of harming him."

"We'll talk about that later." Seeing Ah Ming trying so hard to defend himself, Gu Chen interrupted:
"Tell me, besides you, who else in your company has a bad relationship with him, or even a deep conflict with him?"

"Uh, this..."

After hesitating for a moment, Amin slowly said, "Actually, our boss and he don't get along well either."

"Your boss? What do you mean?" Officer Wang asked back.

"That's right. Our big boss and he have never had a good relationship. The two of them have conflicting ideas about the company's business philosophy."

"And this company was founded by the two of them; both of them are veterans of the company."

"However, Brother Liu is responsible for contributing his technical expertise, while the big boss contributes money and effort..."

Amin repeated what the fat man had said earlier, and the gist of it was not much different from what the fat man had said.

Officer Wang pondered for a moment and said, "So that means that if the murderer was to be killed, your boss is a prime suspect?"

“This…” Amin hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, “I dare not say anything rashly. After all, although our boss and Brother Liu have a strained relationship, they are both thinking about the future of the company.”

"Such a large company with so many employees to support, if things are not handled properly, it will be quite troublesome."

"However, I believe that our big boss and Brother Liu have not reached the point of mutual destruction yet. They are still in the same boat."

"Then who do you think is most likely to have killed the victim?" Lu Weiwei asked.

Amin suddenly froze, and for a long time he didn't know how to answer.

After thinking it over and over again, Amin shook his head: "I don't know."

So Gu Chen asked A-Ming the same questions he had asked the fat man earlier.

Amin's answer was basically the same as the fat man's, with no questions asked.

After Gu Chen finished recording these details, he asked A Ming to call the short man over.

When the short man sat in front of everyone, he seemed quite calm.

Especially his confident demeanor, which suggests he's a seasoned businessman.

The fat man and Ah Ming were both very nervous, but Gu Chen couldn't see the slightest bit of nervousness in this short man.

Gu Chen asked, "Aren't you nervous at all?"

"I haven't done anything wrong," the short man said with a smile.

Lu Weiwei smiled faintly: "But your two colleagues are extremely nervous." "They've just never seen anything like this before, so they're nervous," the short man said.

"Hehe." Upon hearing the short man's words, Lu Weiwei retorted without hesitation:

"So you've seen something like this before?"

"Not exactly," the short man waved his hand, replying casually.

"It's just that I've met a lot of people, so I've come into contact with all sorts of strange and wonderful people."

"I'm not surprised by cases of people dying suddenly from drinking."

"But what if I told you that the deceased didn't die from alcohol poisoning, but was actually poisoned?"

"Poisoned to death?" The short man was stunned for a moment when he heard the result.

This seemed to be far beyond his expectations, but soon, the short man asked Gu Chen in return, "Who did it?"

"Aren't we asking you a question?" Officer Wang reminded him upon seeing the situation.

"How would I know? This has nothing to do with me," the short man said, spreading his hands in explanation.

Officer Wang frowned, seemingly sensing that the short man was making a preconceived notion.

Even though everyone was interrogating him, he used some linguistic logic to confuse them.

Once he came to his senses, Officer Wang asked irritably, "What was your relationship with this deceased person?"

"Relationship?" After a few seconds of thought, the short man shook his head: "I wouldn't say we're very close, because I only recently joined the company, and I've always worked in marketing."

"My main job is to connect with investment clients, so I'm not in the same department as the deceased, and I'm not very familiar with him."

"We're just together because the company sent our team to the summit this time."

"Besides that, we rarely even meet at the company, because he's always in the R&D office, while I'm always out meeting with clients."

"So, in your opinion, who in the company had an irreconcilable conflict with the deceased?" Officer Wang asked.

"Hehe, that must be our big boss." Upon hearing Officer Wang's words, the short man replied calmly.
“I was poached from another company by our big boss. Our big boss had told me long ago that the technical director was a straight-laced engineer with a bad temper.”

"If there's nothing wrong, it's best not to provoke him, but I don't need to pay attention to his complaints."

"How do you say that?" Gu Chen asked curiously after hearing the short man's words.

The short man smiled faintly: "Simply put, you can understand it as our big boss needing to constantly market our company's technological achievements."

"That means that once there is a technological breakthrough, I need to draft a plan to promote the company's technological advantages."

"However, our CTO seems to be very annoyed by this situation because in his mind, only disruptive technologies and groundbreaking technologies are worth showing off and promoting."

"But his work results are far from reaching that level."

After a pause, the short man added, "However, our big boss has his own considerations."

"After all, he is the actual person in charge of the company, and he needs to provide the direction for the company's development."

"Moreover, R&D is very expensive and requires a lot of investment, so our big boss needs my marketing skills."

"So you were the one who started all the hype about your company's CTO's skills?" Lu Weiwei asked, equally curious.

But the shorter man didn't seem to mind; he nodded silently and said without further ado:

"That's right. You can think of it as me developing all the company's marketing plans, because that's what I do."

After a pause, the short man continued, "Including this time when our technical director lost face on the robot fighting stage at the summit, I was the one who ran around cleaning up his messes."

"You have to understand that the fall of this robot fighter is a complete denial of his skills."

"This not only benefited our competitors, but also led our company's technology into a dead end."

At this point, the short man couldn't help but sigh, "You have no idea how important this summit is to us?"

"Everyone is competing on technology and demonstrating their company's strength to their clients."

"But now, alas, a single competition has wiped out all my previous marketing achievements."

Looking up at Gu Chen and the others, the short man continued to complain, "Actually, before this competition, I had already done a lot of positive publicity for our company's product."

"Moreover, the organizers were very accommodating and wanted us to get enough attention on the stage."

"But I never expected that our technical director would mess things up, turning what should have been a crushing victory into a crushing victory for the opponent."

"Our fighting robot is not only large in size, but also has amazing defensive capabilities. Even so, our technical director still lost, and lost without any chance to fight back."

Finally, the short man kept patting his chest, saying with some emotion:

"The result is good. Our clients who had previously negotiated with us have all started to pay more attention to our opponents because of this match."

"The various preliminary talks were kept being canceled, and all the groundwork I had laid before was in vain."

Shaking his head, the short man couldn't help but sigh, "So, after that game, I even wanted to find a hole to crawl into."

"Because in the afternoon, I will be facing my clients, and I will have nothing to say."

"No matter how much I boasted about the company's robotics technology before, I was completely helpless when faced with a results-oriented competition."

"So that afternoon, I approached my client with a very humble attitude."

"But all I got in return was ridicule and sarcasm from my clients, which felt absolutely terrible."

The short man seemed quite aggrieved when he said this.

However, Gu Chen and the others could understand.

The marketing plan had already been perfected, and the organizers were very cooperative, arranging a competition with a huge disparity in skill levels.

It can be said that as long as this game can be won, everything else will be fine, and all kinds of investments will be taken care of.

A single match can elevate you to the top, but it can also send you plummeting to the bottom.

When faced with the unexpected force of Zhu Wei's robotics company, the short man felt like the sky had fallen.

In the end, he ended up benefiting others by constantly cancelling previously agreed-upon collaborations, and was ridiculed by his peers for exaggerating his abilities.

This can be very frustrating for shorter people.

However, in Gu Chen's view, this was the motive for murder. After all, the short man looked very shrewd and seemed to have the face of a natural-born academic genius.

But in the ring match, the short guy seemed to have a swollen face.

Therefore, his career suffered a major setback, and various negotiation opportunities were canceled. Thus, his hatred for the deceased should be the highest among all of them.
