I am a super cop

Chapter 2995 Mystery of the Arena
During the video call, Mr. Wang seemed to wear his dissatisfaction on his face and analyzed the subtle relationship between the deceased and him very clearly, while also explaining things clearly to the police.

"Officer, I am very sorry for the sudden death of my partner, Xiao Liu, but this matter has nothing to do with me."

“I don’t know why he was suddenly poisoned, but I’m certain that he was in contact with many competitors in private, that’s for sure.”

"After all, I've had Amin monitoring Xiao Liu for quite some time now, and his actions have indeed been somewhat unethical."

"After all, as industry peers, what we generally avoid the most is contact with senior executives of our peers, let alone someone who is in charge of technology."

"I understand." Gu Chen nodded silently after hearing what President Wang said.

Then Mr. Wang added, "He is our company's technical director, and the entire technical team needs to work around him."

"So if something happens to Xiao Liu, our company's development will suffer serious losses."

"From both a moral and logical standpoint, there's nothing we can do for him. In fact, I'd much rather he could make some new technological breakthroughs."

Finally, Mr. Wang seemed quite frustrated, rubbing his face with both hands, and said without further ado:
"Xiao Liu's departure is a huge blow to our company. We have lost technical support, and all our future work may come to a standstill."

"This is undoubtedly disastrous for a startup like ours, so officers, we hope you can help us find the murderer and bring him to justice."

"Don't worry, this is what we should do," Officer Wang replied.

Based on the information provided by Mr. Wang, everyone recorded all the information. They also obtained some clues from Mr. Wang about the deceased's contacts with other colleagues.

After a brief exchange, they hung up the phone.

At this moment, Officer Wang's face was grave, because according to the information provided by General Manager Wang, Zhu Wei's company had also had close contact with the deceased, especially Zhu Wei himself, who seemed to have a deep relationship with the deceased.

However, if you don't know these details, just looking at their competition in the robot arena, you might think they are enemies.

But if that's the case, then such a match arrangement seems very delicate.

"Senior Brother Wang." Seeing Officer Wang standing there silently, Gu Chen asked curiously:

“Zhu Wei…”

"Investigate," Officer Wang sighed, speaking without further ado.
“Everyone who had contact with the deceased must be investigated, including Zhu Wei.”

"Okay." Seeing that Officer Wang had said so, Gu Chen nodded silently.
"Just hearing that is enough."

After organizing all the clues according to the procedure, everyone returned directly to the Furong Branch.

Subsequently, based on the clues, the team began to focus their investigation on executives from these companies that had been in contact with the deceased.

……

……

In the office of the Furong branch, everyone gathered around He Junchao, watching videos of the deceased's various interactions during the Robot Summit.

Since a robot marathon will be held after the robot summit, major artificial intelligence robot companies will send their own robots to participate.

If previous robot fighting tournaments had some technical barriers, not every robot company could participate.

Therefore, the robot marathon competition will be a general competition. Basically, any robot that is exhibited normally can participate because the technical threshold is very low.

The requirement is simple: whoever runs the fastest over a limited distance wins.

Therefore, companies that focus on robotic mobility will have a significant advantage.

Therefore, the outcome will be highly uncertain.

"How is it?" Gu Chen asked He Junchao.

He Junchao sighed and slowly said, "The deceased, Liu Wen, had the most contact with Zhu Wei during the few days he was here to attend the summit."

As he spoke, He Junchao pulled up the surveillance footage again: "Look, the two of them seem very familiar with each other, as if they are communicating about something."

"Moreover, both of them were acting suspiciously, always glancing around unconsciously when they were communicating, as if afraid of being seen by others," Yuan Shasha added.

He Junchao nodded silently and said without further ado, "That's right, the two of them were indeed acting suspiciously. You could say they were communicating and contacting each other in private."

"If the two of them were once rivals in robot arena battles, fighting to the death, then it would seem rather strange."

"What about the others?" Officer Wang sighed and continued to press for answers.

"Others? The other deceased Liu Wen also had contact with them, but not as close as with Zhu Wei," He Junchao said.

Officer Wang sighed and said without further ado, "Sometimes these two guys are really hard to understand."

“But Zhu Wei definitely has a problem,” Lu Weiwei said.

"I know," Officer Wang replied without hesitation, fully aware of the situation.
“I’ve known Zhu Wei for a long time. I won’t be involved in this investigation; you’ll be the ones to contact Zhu Wei.”

"No problem." Seeing that Officer Wang was deliberately avoiding suspicion, Gu Chen patted Officer Wang on the shoulder and said reassuringly:
"No matter what, we will investigate thoroughly, so please rest assured, Senior Brother Wang."

"Hmm." Upon hearing Gu Chen's explanation, Officer Wang nodded silently and said without further ado:

“You don’t need to worry about my relationship with Zhu Wei. Just do what you need to do.”

Although Officer Wang spoke casually, Gu Chen knew very well that Officer Wang was in great turmoil at that moment.

After exchanging glances with the others, Gu Chen and the others immediately set off.

……

……

After finding out that Zhu Wei was currently at his booth at the Robotics Summit, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, and Yuan Shasha drove directly to the exhibition center.

After getting off the bus, I went straight to Zhu Wei's company's booth.

At this moment, the exhibition hall is still bustling with people. Due to the high popularity of the Robotics Summit, a large number of people have come to visit for several consecutive days.

Zhu Wei's company has attracted the attention of many investors due to its outstanding performance in previous robot competitions.

As a result, Zhu Wei's company's robots gained fame at the exhibition, and many companies sent orders seeking cooperation. Even the police intended to place an order for a batch of robots.

For Zhu Wei, this robotics summit was a very rewarding experience.

On the other hand, the reputation of Liu Wen's company plummeted after its large robot was defeated by Zhu Wei's robot.

The passing of Liu Wen left the team from his company who came to participate in the exhibition feeling extremely disappointed.

The booths were also deserted.

Gu Chen led the group to the entrance of Zhu Wei's company booth, which was still crowded with people.

Seeing Zhu Wei surrounded and forced to explain the company's robot products, Gu Chen walked over to a staff member and reminded him:
"Please call Zhu Wei over here for me."

"Okay." Seeing Gu Chen show his police ID, the staff member quickly agreed and then hurried through the crowd to Zhu Wei's side.

Then, he whispered something in Zhu Wei's ear and pointed to Gu Chen and his group outside the crowd. Zhu Wei saw Gu Chen and his group at that moment, nodded quickly, handed over the explanation to an assistant beside him, and walked through the crowd to stand in front of Gu Chen.

"Officer Gu, we meet again." Upon seeing Gu Chen, Zhu Wei warmly shook hands and exchanged pleasantries.

"Congratulations, your company's robots have finally gained recognition." Gu Chen chuckled jokingly.

"Just lucky," Zhu Wei said with a smile.

Then Gu Chen said, "There's something I'd like to talk to you about."

"No problem." Zhu Wei looked around, then reminded one of his assistants, "I'll leave this to you. I have to go for a bit."

"Okay." The assistant nodded silently upon seeing this.

Afterwards, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, and Yuan Shasha brought Zhu Wei to the summit office.

They pushed open the door to an empty office and went inside together.

Yuan Shasha immediately set up the camera, and then everyone took their seats.

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Zhu Wei smiled and said, "Officer Gu, where's Lao Wang?"

“He has other things to take care of,” Yuan Shasha said.

"Okay." Upon hearing Yuan Shasha's words, Zhu Wei quickly nodded.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen quickly asked him:

"Zhu Wei, are you familiar with Liu Wen, who fights in robot arenas?"

"Uh……"

Upon hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhu Wei quickly replied, "I know him. After all, we're in the same industry. He's the technical director at his company, and I'm in management at our company, responsible for robotics."

"So, after a while, we would run into each other and then get to know each other."

"So that means you knew each other before, and were quite familiar with each other?" Lu Weiwei said.

Zhu Wei smiled and said, "You could say that."

"Do you two often have private contact?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

"Uh, this..." After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Wei slowly said:

"Also."

"Do you have any business dealings with each other?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Business dealings? Haha." Upon hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhu Wei chuckled and replied:

"Officer Gu, we are colleagues, but we belong to different companies."

"If we know each other, we can only be considered friends. But if we have business dealings, problems may arise."

"Which aspect of the problem are you referring to?" Gu Chen continued to press.

Zhu Wei smiled and said without further ado, "Officer Gu, we're colleagues."

"Then why have you been in close contact lately? Even on the eve of the competition?"

Gu Chen also had doubts.

Upon hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhu Wei immediately understood what Gu Chen meant.

It is clear that the police have already been informed of the contact between Zhu Wei and Liu Wen.

This surprised Zhu Wei, who hadn't even considered it.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei continued to press Zhu Wei: "Zhu Wei, you still haven't answered our questions. Why did you contact Liu Wen before the competition? And why in a secluded corner?"

What did you two talk about there? Was it about the match?

"This one……"

"Please answer truthfully, because Liu Wen is dead, and he died of poisoning. We suspect that someone is trying to harm him."

"Therefore, we need to investigate all the people who have been in frequent contact with him and have close relationships with him during this period."

"And you've been in contact with him very frequently lately, so we want to find out what you've been talking about lately? Why are you doing this so secretly?"

"This……"

When Zhu Wei heard Lu Weiwei say "sneaky," he already knew that the police had already been aware of his contact with Liu Wen.

Thinking about all this, Zhu Wei said helplessly, "Actually, we were just exchanging industry experience."

"Do we need to hide in a corner to exchange industry experience?" Yuan Shasha asked.

But Zhu Wei smiled wryly and said, "Officer Yuan, as you know, we belong to different companies, but we work in the same industry."

“If there is too much close contact in public, some unscrupulous media will make a fuss about it.”

Zhu Wei tugged at his collar and added, "We've learned our lesson in this before, so we'll be even more cautious."

"However, we were only discussing the current environment and the development of our two companies."

"Is that really the case? Is it really just a simple industry exchange between you?" Gu Chen seemed unconvinced by Zhu Wei's explanation.

Zhu Wei, somewhat helplessly, continued to explain, "Officer Gu, this is just a simple exchange."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen smiled and said, "Simple communication? You seem to be very interested in the issue of communication, and you keep having frequent contact with each other in different situations."

"Moreover, you had contact three times during the summit, and all of them were before the summit."

After a pause, Gu Chen continued, "I now strongly suspect that the previous robot arena competition was something you two had planned together, figuring out how to please the audience and investors?"

"This……"

Upon hearing Gu Chen mention the arena competition, Zhu Wei's expression immediately turned ugly.

Zhu Wei frowned, but didn't know how to explain.

So Gu Chen asked again, "You and Liu Wen met before the arena match, and your match seemed quite interesting, but I also noticed some clues."

"That's the robot operated by Liu Wen. He could have easily overwhelmed it with his strength, but he seemed too confident. So when you launched a circling attack on him, the robot he was operating didn't react at all."

"It seems like they're just waiting for you to make a move, but as the creator of the robot, Liu Wen should be very clear about his robot's weaknesses."

"But why would Liu Wen deliberately expose his robot's weakness to your attack at that moment?"
