I am a super cop

Chapter 3008 Two Versions
In the office, Manager Hu was talking non-stop, and Gu Chen and the others listened attentively.

Since the autopsy results were not yet available, Gu Chen needed to start by investigating the relationships between the deceased and other people in the family to find them all.

Upon hearing Manager Hu's words, Gu Chen suddenly felt that the man pursuing He Lili seemed to be somewhat suspicious.

"What's the story with that man who's pursuing He Lili?" Officer Wang couldn't help but ask.

Manager Hu thought it over carefully before slowly saying, "As far as I know, that man and He Lili met at a restaurant."

“At first, He Lili just went to that restaurant to eat, and the man only had a brief conversation with her.”

“He Lili felt that he was eloquent and said that he could help He Lili promote her business, so He Lili added the man’s contact information.”

"But later, the man often came to see He Lili and confessed his feelings to her, so He Lili often avoided him."

“But sometimes, the man would also come downstairs to wait for He Lili, because He Lili’s boyfriend wasn’t there at the time, so the man’s pursuit of He Lili was quite intense.”

"How crazy is it?" Lu Weiwei asked.

Manager Hu sighed and said helplessly, "I often wait for He Lili downstairs in the building when she gets off work and invite her to dinner."

"Then, after He Lili got off work, I often had to take her home, which terrified He Lili."

After a pause, Manager Hu continued to think, "I guess it's because this man often does this that He Lili's boyfriend came to work here."

"Perhaps it was also to prevent the man from continuing to harass his girlfriend?"

"So after He Lili's boyfriend came to work here, that suitor stopped harassing He Lili?" Yuan Shasha asked.

Manager Hu thought for a moment and then slowly said, "It seems so. Anyway, after He Lili's boyfriend came, it seems he hasn't bothered her anymore."

"At the time, the man made He Lili very uneasy, and He Lili even complained about it at the company. But later we heard that He Lili's boyfriend warned the man, so we don't know much about what happened after that."

"But at least He Lili doesn't seem to be being harassed anymore."

"Do you know the man's personal information?" Officer Wang asked.

"Uh, he's the owner of a counter in the mall across the street. He's an agent for two cosmetic brands and has some money. He's actually quite polite, but he can be a bit persistent."

"Could you be more specific?" Gu Chen asked curiously.

Manager Hu hesitated for a moment, then took out a business card holder from the drawer and began searching inside.

A short while later, Manager Hu took out one of the business cards and handed it to Gu Chen, saying, "This person is the owner of that counter, the man who is pursuing He Lili."

"Zhao Yanwu?" Gu Chen glanced at it, then thanked Manager Hu:

"Thank you for your cooperation."

"You're welcome. It's just a pity about He Lili. How could she have suffered carbon monoxide poisoning? I can't understand it." Manager Hu didn't say anything, but expressed his regret over He Lili's death.

Afterwards, Gu Chen and his group left the company and went directly to the shopping mall across the street. Following the address on the business card, they quickly found the counter.

Indeed, this is a counter that represents two cosmetic brands. At this moment, only a few middle-aged women in the mall's uniform are standing there, explaining to customers.

Gu Chen walked directly to one of the female sales assistants and asked, "Is your boss, Mr. Zhao, here?"

Looking for the boss?

"It's Zhao Yanwu? Isn't he your boss?"

“Yes, but he’s not here,” the saleswoman said.

"Where is he now?" Officer Wang asked.

The sales assistant thought for a moment and asked her colleague, "Where is the boss now? I remember he was just here."

"I think it's the milk tea shop at the entrance of the mall? He usually likes to sit there and drink milk tea," another saleswoman said.

So the saleswoman quickly explained to Gu Chen, "Go this way and walk along the passage to the main entrance. You can see those milk tea shops at the entrance. Our boss might be sitting in one of them."

"What does your boss look like? What clothes does he wear?" Since no one had seen Zhao Yanwu before, they didn't know much about him, so Yuan Shasha quickly asked for details about his appearance and clothing.

"Oh, our boss was dressed in a formal suit, trousers and a white striped shirt, his hair was neatly combed, he was wearing a green watch, and he had a square face."

After listening to the saleswoman's explanation, Gu Chen thanked her and then led everyone to the entrance of the mall.

At that moment, a milky aroma wafted from the milk tea shop.

There are many bakeries and milk tea shops at the entrance of the mall. After searching around, everyone finally found the owner that the female sales assistant had mentioned at a seat under a parasol at the mall entrance.

At this moment, Zhao Yanwu was sitting there, chatting casually with a middle-aged woman with a graceful figure.

It's clear that Zhao Yanwu has excellent speaking skills, and his various body language expressions are fluent, which made the woman opposite him laugh out loud.

Zhao Yanwu's sense of humor quickly captivated the woman.

Just as the two were having a great time chatting, Gu Chen and his group came up to them.

Zhao Yanwu's expression changed immediately, and he looked at Gu Chen and the others with curiosity.

"Are you Zhao Yanwu?" Gu Chen asked.

"Uh, yes, I'm Zhao Yanwu. What's up? Do you need something from me?" Zhao Yanwu was also completely bewildered at this moment.

Officer Wang looked at the young woman and said politely, "We have something we'd like to ask you about."

"Oh." Upon hearing Officer Wang's explanation, Zhao Yanwu's heart skipped a beat. He feigned composure and asked, "Now?"

“Yes, now,” Officer Wang said with certainty.

"Alright." Zhao Yanwu smiled at the woman and said, "I have something to attend to and need to leave for a bit. Sorry."

"It's alright, you go ahead." The woman seemed unaware of the situation and didn't dare say anything more.

So Gu Chen and the others took Zhao Yanwu away, intending to take him to the police car for questioning.

At this moment, Zhao Yanwu still maintained a calm demeanor.

As Gu Chen and the others were about to lead Zhao Yanwu through the lobby of the factory, Zhao Yanwu suddenly stopped and hurriedly asked, "Excuse me, where are we going?"

"Let's go talk over by the police car," Officer Wang said.

"Where is the police car parked?" Zhao Yanwu asked again.

Officer Wang pointed to the passageway and said, "Go through this passageway in the mall, and the exit is right across the street." "Oh, then shall we go outside the mall? It's not good for you guys in police uniforms to lead me through the first floor of the mall."

Zhao Yanwu was a shrewd man. He knew that if he was led away by a group of police officers in uniform, he would not be able to explain himself clearly and would easily attract gossip.

Gu Chen understood his concerns and agreed, "Okay, let's take a detour and go around to the outside of the mall."

"Okay, thank you for understanding." Seeing Gu Chen's words, Zhao Yanwu thanked him and then followed Gu Chen and the others to the police car's parking spot.

At that moment, everyone opened the back door, and Zhao Yanwu got in.

Then Gu Chen and the others got into the car one by one.

After Lu Weiwei positioned the camera lens aimed at Zhao Yanwu, everyone began questioning him:
"Do you know He Lili?" Yuan Shasha asked.

"Uh, yes, we know each other." Upon hearing the police say this, Zhao Yanwu quickly echoed.

"I heard you pursued her?" Yuan Shasha asked again.

Zhao Yanwu gave a wry smile and slowly nodded: "Yes, I did pursue it."

"Did you know she has a boyfriend?" Officer Wang said.

"Uh..." After a brief hesitation, Zhao Yanwu nodded silently, "I know."

"You knew that, yet you still went after him? Aren't you just trying to steal his girlfriend?" Officer Wang said.

Zhao Yanwu lowered his head, smiled, and said, "She only said that she had a boyfriend, and she also said that she didn't get along with him. I asked her if they had broken up, and she said yes at the time."

"You mean, He Lili herself said that she broke up with her boyfriend?" Lu Weiwei asked.

“Yes, she came here to work alone at the time. I saw that she was working very hard and didn’t have any resources to do business, so I used my connections to help her expand her business scope.”

"So gradually, our relationship deepened. Later, I thought, since you, He Lili, are single anyway, I decided to pursue her."

"What does He Lili mean?" Officer Wang asked.

“She…neither refused nor agreed,” Zhao Yanwu said, scratching the back of his head.

"Neither refuse nor agree?" Hearing Zhao Yanwu's explanation, which seemed to contradict what she had heard from Manager Hu, Lu Weiwei continued:

"It was He Lili who rejected you, and yet you're still bothering her, aren't you?"

"That's not true." Seeing Lu Weiwei's words, Zhao Yanwu gave a wry smile and quickly explained:

“I liked He Lili at the time, and He Lili herself said that she didn’t have a boyfriend, so I pursued her. Later, she heard that her ex-boyfriend was coming to find her, so she changed her mind and decided to reject me.”

"Are you telling the truth or not?" Upon hearing Zhao Yanwu's words, Lu Weiwei immediately felt that this man was glib and didn't seem to be telling the truth at all.

Zhao Yanwu gave a wry smile and explained, "Of course it's true."

After a pause, Zhao Yanwu asked curiously, "Uh, by the way, why are you asking this?"

“He Lili is dead,” Lu Weiwei said.

"No...no, He Lili is dead?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Yanwu was completely stunned, and said in disbelief:

"This...this person was perfectly fine, how could they suddenly..."

“It was carbon monoxide poisoning, but we suspect it was murder,” Lu Weiwei said.

"How come you suspect murder instead of carbon monoxide poisoning?" Zhao Yanwu seemed a little confused by Lu Weiwei's explanation.

Lu Weiwei continued to explain: "Her boyfriend also died of carbon monoxide poisoning along with He Lili."

"Both of them are dead?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Yanwu's face turned extremely grim.

“That’s right, but neither of them is used to cooking at home, so how could they have carbon monoxide poisoning? The liquefied gas cylinders have never been used, and the sealing rings are intact, so there’s no way they could have leaked.”

"Therefore, we suspect that it was murder."

After a pause, Lu Weiwei looked at Zhao Yanwu and said, "Of course, we must investigate anyone who has had contact with those two, or anyone who has had a conflict with them, including you."

"Oh dear." Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Zhao Yanwu also put on a bitter face and said:
"I'm just pursuing a girl, how does this relate to me? As the saying goes, 'A fair maiden is sought after by a gentleman.' Is it wrong for me to like beautiful women and pursue them?"

"But which of the things you just said were true and which were false?" Gu Chen asked with a serious expression.

Zhao Yanwu quickly replied, "Of course, of course everything is real."

“But that’s not what we heard,” Yuan Shasha also questioned.

Officer Wang quickly added, "What we heard was that you kept harassing her, and He Lili has clearly rejected you many times, but you still won't let go."

"I even waited for her at the place where she got off work, and even wanted to take her home, which scared her."

"This...who told you this?" Zhao Yanwu was extremely embarrassed after hearing what Officer Wang said.

"Do you need to hear anyone's opinion? Just tell me whether you did it or not!" Officer Wang said bluntly.

At this moment, Zhao Yanwu also sighed heavily before slowly saying, "Okay, I admit that I did want to date He Lili back then."

"It's true that I waited for her downstairs at her company, and it's also true that I wanted to invite her to dinner and then take her home, but I didn't harass her. I was just pursuing her normally."

“But He Lili’s former colleagues said that you were just harassing her,” Yuan Shasha said.

"Former colleague?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Yanwu sighed and said helplessly, "Oh dear, isn't this just them spreading rumors?"

“My pursuit of He Lili was a normal pursuit, and these were all normal sexual behaviors. He Lili didn’t agree, and I didn’t force her.”

“Of course you didn’t force him, because He Lili’s boyfriend knew you were harassing his girlfriend, which is why he came here from the provincial capital to work,” Officer Wang said.

Seeing Zhao Yanwu's embarrassed expression, Lu Weiwei quickly added, "So, did you and He Lili's boyfriend have any conflict? Did he even reprimand you after you stopped fighting?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yanwu seemed very embarrassed and turned his head away, looking unwilling.

"To be honest," Gu Chen said, offering a reminder.

At this moment, after a period of internal struggle, Zhao Yanwu slowly said:
"Okay, to be honest, I did want to pursue He Lili at the time, but her boyfriend wasn't around, and she had a lot of complaints about him, so I felt they had probably broken up."

"That's why I pursued He Lili. Maybe He Lili values ​​looks. Her boyfriend is really good-looking, so she was reluctant to let him go, which is why she started to pursue me."
