I am a super cop

Chapter 3001 Unexpected Discovery
As soon as Gu Chen said this, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Liu Guang looked at Gu Chen and replied in a meaningful tone, "That's right, for this project at present, we are in competition."

"Moreover, the idea for this project was something we both came up with a long time ago, back in college."

“We discussed this together back in school, so when we both wanted to start this project, it was clear that we were destined to become competitors.”

"Can't you two become collaborators?" Gu Chen asked as soon as Liu Guang finished speaking.

After all, from beginning to end, Liu Guang was explaining the competitive relationship between himself and Liu Wen.

It's worth noting that the two were classmates in high school and also in university.

Logically speaking, the relationship between the two should be very close, but it seems that something has gone wrong.

After a moment of silence, Liu Guang slowly said, "Officers, I understand your feelings, but have you considered whether Liu Wen even knew he was going to be poisoned?"

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Weiwei seemed to sense that there was something more to Liu Guang's words.

Liu Guang adjusted his glasses and then said without further ado, "Liu Wen's health has been poor for a long time."

"Of course, I've only heard that it's because they can't have children."

"Infertile?" Upon hearing Liu Guang's words, Lu Weiwei was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked again, "What do you mean by that?"

"I heard his wife is pregnant," Liu Guang said, adjusting his glasses.

At this moment, Gu Chen seemed to understand what was meant, so he quickly asked Liu Guang, "So, this child isn't Liu Wen's?"

"I don't know." Liu Guang seemed unwilling to answer these questions and deliberately changed the subject.
"I've only heard that the relationship between the couple has been quite delicate lately. Of course, I don't know why Liu Wen, who persisted in scientific research for so many years, finally started to give up on himself."

"You can understand why he has been frustrated and unsuccessful for so many years, without a platform that appreciates him."

"But when people are in a state of extreme disappointment, they may want to give up some things, and these things may be things they have always wanted but could not get."

"Of course, I've only heard some things about Liu Wen's situation, but I think his death is a bit suspicious."

"How so?" Gu Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Liu Wen and I are good friends and classmates, but we didn't work together after graduation because of differences in our ideals."

"Sometimes, we even become competitors because we are working on the same projects."

"But now, what I want to say is that Liu Wen is dead, and I suddenly feel very lost."

Looking up at Gu Chen, Liu Guang continued, "Liu Wen called me before he attended this robotics summit."

"What did you talk about?" Gu Chen asked, listening attentively.

Liu Guang slowly said, "It's just chatting about everyday things, reminiscing about our time at school, and summarizing our college life back then."

"Is that all he wanted to say to you?" Yuan Shasha felt increasingly uneasy.

Liu Guang grinned and said, "You could say that's how you interpret it. That's what I thought at first too, but then I realized it was more like he was telling me what to do after his death?"

"Make arrangements for your affairs after death?" Yuan Shasha was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

Gu Chen then slowly said, "So, Liu Wen was having some trouble thinking, so before he died, he wanted to reminisce with you about his school days?"

"Yes." Hearing Gu Chen say this, Liu Guang nodded silently and said without further ado:

"That's how I felt at the time. I always felt that something was going to happen to Liu Wen, but he was being very mysterious, which made me very puzzled."

“At the time, I didn’t even notice anything wrong with it, but now, thinking about what’s happened to Liu Wen recently, I feel like he had a premonition that something was going to happen.”

"Moreover, this feeling of mine is very strong, and it's not unfounded. You probably wouldn't understand this subtle feeling between acquaintances."

"I understand what you mean." Gu Chen listened to Liu Guang's explanation and naturally understood what he meant.

Before his death, Liu Wen seemed to have a premonition of something, which is why he chose to do some things that were previously impossible.

This includes helping Zhu Wei so that his company's robots can attract attention at the robotics summit and become absolute top performers.

In the past, Liu Wen might not have taken that kind of money, or rather, he would have disdained to take that kind of money.

But now he not only takes it, he also doesn't care about his reputation at all.

Gu Chen couldn't understand it at first, but after hearing Liu Guang's explanation, it all seemed to make sense.

That means Liu Wen had realized that he might not live much longer, so he started to give up and act recklessly.

As for what it was? Gu Chen felt that he must have suffered some kind of blow.

His later acceptance of Gao Feng's 20 yuan and meeting with Gao Feng may have been the beginning of his compromise. As long as there is money to be made, he is even willing to put aside his pride.

This would have been unimaginable before.

This is like a big shot in the industry. Before, you didn't even have the right to meet him, but now, as long as you spend some money, he can meet you, chat, have a meal, and even discuss cooperation.

For most AI robot companies in the industry, this is definitely a great value for money.

Gu Chen began to wonder about Liu Wen's physical condition, so he quickly asked Liu Guang, "What else do you know?"

“Liu Wen’s condition has not been good lately. I can see the subtle changes in him, but I can’t be sure what he has gone through.”

With a soft sigh, Liu Guang added, "So, that's all I know."

"OK, thanks."

During his conversation with Liu Guang, Gu Chen also began to re-evaluate Liu Wen's condition.

……

……

Back at the Furong branch, Gu Chen called Liu Wen's wife, Xiao Lili, and said slowly, "Ms. Xiao Lili, has your husband been feeling unwell recently?"

"Huh?" Xiao Lili on the other end of the phone was also taken aback when faced with Gu Chen's question.

"I'm asking you, did your husband experience any health problems before he passed away? Especially recently?" Gu Chen asked again.

“This… seems to be true,” Xiao Lili said.

"Did he mention it to you?" Gu Chen asked again.

Xiao Lili on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment before saying, "Recently? He doesn't seem to have mentioned it to me. We had a fight recently, so we've been giving each other the silent treatment." "So we haven't been communicating much, but his health does seem a bit off."

"Has he gone to the hospital for a check-up?" Gu Chen asked.

"I guess... I don't know, because I can't control where my husband goes," Xiao Lili said.

Gu Chen thought for a moment, then asked Xiao Lili, "When did your husband decide to earn extra money?"

“It was after I got pregnant,” Xiao Lili said. “My husband wanted to earn some money for baby formula because of this, but given his situation at the time, he couldn’t earn that much money at all, so he thought of earning some extra money.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly paused.

After all, what Liu Guang heard was that Liu Wen was infertile, so how did Xiao Lili get pregnant?

Thinking about all this, Gu Chen felt there was no need to explain to Xiao Lili now, so as not to cause Xiao Lili to reject or resent him.

So Gu Chen asked a few more trivial questions before hanging up the phone.

"How is it?" Lu Weiwei asked, moving closer to Gu Chen.

"After Xiao Lili became pregnant, Liu Wen started going out to earn extra money. But according to Liu Guang, his old classmate Liu Wen is infertile. So how did Xiao Lili get pregnant?"

"Could it be that Liu Wen got better after being treated at the hospital, and that's how Xiao Lili got pregnant? After all, this condition is treatable," Yuan Shasha said from the side.

Gu Chen nodded silently, thinking for a moment before saying, "That's also possible."

"But the problem now is that Xiao Lili doesn't seem to be showing any abnormalities. We still need to start with the city hospital where Liu Wen is located."

With his fingers interlaced, Gu Chen continued to ponder: "How about this, Senior Brother He, could you help me contact our colleagues in Pengcheng and ask them to check Liu Wen's recent medical records?"

"Sure, no problem." Seeing that Gu Chen had said so, He Junchao immediately opened his contacts and started looking for the phone numbers of his colleagues in Pengcheng.

Before long, He Junchao made contact, while Gu Chen continued to think and wait.

Time passed by, and He Junchao received one phone call after another.

"What, you're looking for Director Huang, right? Okay, I understand. What's his phone number? Okay, I'll write it down. You've already told him, right? Okay, thank you, thank you very much..."

After exchanging pleasantries with the other party for a while, He Junchao hung up the phone and quickly handed the phone number written on the sticky note to Gu Chen.

"This is the phone number of the chief physician at the hospital where Liu Wen was treated. Liu Wen was treated by him, and it has always been Dr. Huang who has been treating him."

"Moreover, the police in Pengcheng have already communicated with this Dr. Huang. We just need to call him to communicate."

"Very good." Seeing that He Junchao had already taken care of these matters, Gu Chen dialed the number on the note directly.

A short while later, the call was answered, and a middle-aged man slowly said, "Hello, who is this?"

"Hello, this is Gu Chen from the Furong Branch of the Jiangnan City Public Security Bureau. Have the police in Pengcheng already communicated with you?"

"Oh, right, the police here called me before and asked me some questions."

After hearing Gu Chen's purpose for coming, Dr. Huang seemed to become more polite.

So Gu Chen got straight to the point and explained his situation:
"Liu Wen, who previously received treatment from you, died at a banquet in Jiangnan City from poisoning."

"We are currently conducting a full investigation into the murderer and also want to understand the specific situation of Liu Wen, including his previous medical treatments."

"Oh, I understand." Dr. Huang on the phone was exceptionally polite upon hearing Gu Chen's words.

So Gu Chen asked again, "Dr. Huang, could you explain to us Liu Wen's treatment here?"

"No problem." Seeing Gu Chen's question, Dr. Huang on the other end of the phone also began to cooperate:
"This Liu Wen has indeed been receiving treatment at our hospital during this period."

"What's his situation?" Gu Chen asked.

"It's just... I can't have children," Dr. Huang said.

Gu Chen paused for a few seconds, then asked Dr. Huang, "Did he know about this problem before?"

"I don't know." Dr. Huang paused for a few seconds before continuing to explain:
“He hasn’t been at our hospital for long, only about a month now.”

“I asked him what was going on before, and he said that he hadn’t had children because he was too busy with work.”

"I thought that doing scientific research would take a lot of time, so I never thought there was a problem there."

"But later he heard that his wife had a child, and he was very happy. He thought it was a happy event, but when he felt unwell that day and went to the hospital for a check-up, he found that he was infertile at all."

With a soft sigh, Dr. Huang continued to explain, "So at that time, I felt that Liu Wen was completely stunned; it seemed like he had suffered a severe blow."

"After all, in his own mind, he was a workaholic who devoted all his energy to scientific research."

"So he never thought there was anything wrong with him, but when it was found out that he was infertile, he felt like the sky had fallen."

"Is it because his wife is pregnant?" Gu Chen asked.

“That’s right,” Dr. Huang on the other end of the phone echoed, speaking slowly.

"Given Liu Wen's situation, his wife shouldn't be able to get pregnant, but she suddenly became pregnant, which is clearly not normal."

"So? What was Liu Wen's reaction at the time?" Gu Chen asked.

"He was very frustrated and desperate. He was in my office and it took him a long time to speak."

"I advised him to think more positively, but he didn't say anything. He just told me not to tell anyone, including his family."

With a soft sigh, Dr. Huang on the phone remarked, "So from that moment on, I knew that his family might be on the verge of breaking up."

"After all, that child is definitely not Liu Wen's. If this problem is found out, won't there be serious issues?"

"Then Liu Wen asked me if his condition could still be treated. I said yes, as long as he actively cooperates with our treatment, he can be cured."

"But he didn't say anything, just exchanged a few words with me and then left."

"And then what? Did Liu Wen contact you after that?" Gu Chen asked.

"No," Dr. Huang replied quickly, and continued to explain:

"Before he left, he told me not to tell anyone, including his family, and then he said some words of thanks and left."
