I am a super cop

Chapter 3009 Who did it?
Rubbing his face with both hands, Zhao Yanwu said with a look of resentment, "I did try my best at the time, because I saw that He Lili really wanted to break up."

Raising his right hand, Zhao Yanwu also swore: "I did have the idea of ​​pursuing her at the time, and He Lili did have the idea of ​​starting a new relationship."

"She and her boyfriend were in a long-distance relationship, and it seemed that her boyfriend never came to see her, which she was very unhappy about, so she had the idea of ​​breaking up."

Spreading his hands, Zhao Yanwu said again, "You're already thinking of breaking up, and your boyfriend won't be here, so is it wrong for me to pursue her?"

“Especially He Lili, she actually has her own ideas. She has also thought that if she really breaks up with her boyfriend, shouldn't she quickly find another relationship?”

“That’s what I thought too. Once He Lili broke up with her boyfriend, I would become her boyfriend. Actually, He Lili had this idea at that time.”

"Is this your opinion, or their real opinion?" Gu Chen asked.

“It must be a thought we both had.” Seeing Gu Chen say this, Zhao Yanwu quickly echoed.

Seeing that no one reacted, Zhao Yanwu continued to explain: "Really, really, you don't understand He Lili. She is actually a very shrewd woman. She knows how to leverage power."

"She had only been at that cosmetics company for a short time and didn't have many sales, but after getting to know me, she knew that I had a lot of connections that she needed, so she deliberately approached me."

"She knew that with her figure and looks, plus her eloquence, people like us had no resistance to her at all."

"So she knew I was interested in her, so she started trying to get close to me and asked me to introduce her to people."

"Did you introduce it?" Officer Wang asked.

"Definitely," Zhao Yanwu slapped his thigh and said slowly.

“I definitely have to help her. That’s what she wants too. She’s using our ambiguous relationship to keep pulling me along and then get me to help her.”

At this point, Zhao Yanwu sighed and said helplessly:

"So in order to help He Lili improve her performance, I really used a lot of my connections. Otherwise, how could He Lili have achieved such good performance in such a short period of time? It's impossible. It was all because I helped her."

After listening to Zhao Yanwu's explanation, Gu Chen and the others exchanged glances, seemingly finding it quite credible.

After all, He Lili works in cosmetics sales, and she was able to quickly go from a complete novice with no resources or background to surpass veteran employee Liu Si in terms of business skills in a short period of time.

This clearly demonstrates their own abilities, and social skills are a fundamental skill for every cosmetics salesperson.

It is clear that He Lili's great success in terms of performance must have been inseparable from Zhao Yanwu's help.

After all, they are in the same industry, and Zhao Yanwu has the resources that He Lili needs.

Gu Chen pressed on, "And then what happened? Why did He Lili say you were harassing her?"

"I'm innocent!" Zhao Yanwu said, feeling indignant upon hearing Gu Chen's words.

“I used to have a very good relationship with He Lili. We both worked in the cosmetics industry, so we had a lot in common.”

“At the beginning, we talked about everything. When I expressed my love, she neither rejected nor accepted me, but kept the relationship between us in a very blurry line.”

"I think if you don't accept this, it must be because I haven't tried hard enough. So I have to show her how much I value her, right?"

With a soft sigh, Zhao Yanwu added, "So, there's nothing I can do but be even more enthusiastic."

"So after she got off work, I waited for her downstairs at her company, and then asked her out to dinner and even took her home."

“At first, she accepted it. I felt that if I kept doing this, she would definitely be moved and would definitely agree to my request, so I kept doing it.”

"But one day, she suddenly became quite distant. I went to pick her up downstairs at her company, but she refused. I invited her to dinner, but she refused again. She even wouldn't let me take her home."

"I really didn't know what was going on. I had no idea what she was thinking."

"I later found out that her boyfriend, with whom she had always had a lukewarm relationship, had been transferred from the provincial capital to this branch office."

"Because He Lili had been with her boyfriend for a long time, she decided to get back together with him at his insistence."

At this point, Zhao Yanwu was both amused and exasperated, rubbing his face with both hands and sighing:

"At that time, I felt like I was a complete victim of injustice, being used by others in various ways."

"But at the time, everyone in her company knew that there was a cosmetics boss named Zhao Yanwu who was pursuing her, and her roommate, who seemed to work in the same company as her."

“Now her boyfriend has come here from the provincial capital, and he must know about these things. As a result, she told her boyfriend that it was me who kept bothering her.”

Spreading his hands, Zhao Yanwu looked helpless: "How am I supposed to explain this? It's impossible to explain clearly!"

“I know that once her boyfriend decides to move here from the provincial capital, I will definitely have no chance, so I am prepared to give up.”

Hearing Zhao Yanwu's explanation, everyone still felt sympathy for him.

Gu Chen then asked Zhao Yanwu, "I heard that He Lili's boyfriend came to see you before, is that true?"

"Yes." Faced with Gu Chen's question, Zhao Yanwu also nodded with a sigh.

"So what was the final result?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Hehe." Hearing this, Zhao Yanwu chuckled self-deprecatingly and couldn't help but sigh:

“It wouldn’t have been a big deal, but the problem is that He Lili told her boyfriend that I had been harassing her.”

“I understand her situation at the time. After all, she wanted to get back together with her boyfriend, but she also had to care about what her colleagues at the company thought.”

"So they can only use me as an example to create a persona of her being devoted to me."

“I can understand all of that, but her boyfriend seems to have a grudge against me. Back when He Lili and her boyfriend had a bad relationship, she used me as an example, saying that I was pursuing her, which made her boyfriend feel very insecure.”

"But when her boyfriend actually came from the provincial capital to find her and decided to develop his career here, it was He Lili who felt awkward."

"So He Lili said a lot of bad things about me, to the point that her boyfriend always thought that I was harassing He Lili and that I was the one who caused the rift in their relationship. Who can I reason with?"

At this point, Zhao Yanwu seemed quite indignant.

But seeing that Gu Chen and the others didn't say anything, he continued, "Later, there was no other way. I was like a thorn in He Lili's boyfriend's heart, so her boyfriend decided to talk to me."

"It means that I am being warned not to harass He Lili anymore, or else I'll be in trouble. Hehe, actually, it's a threat to beat me up."

"And then what happened?" Gu Chen pressed on. "And then?" Zhao Yanwu sighed, forcing a bitter smile.

"What happened next? What happened next was that I tried to explain, but her boyfriend wouldn't listen and insisted that I was harassing his girlfriend."

"So I had no choice but to back out. I'm not the kind of person who can't afford to lose. Since the young couple has made up, I won't bother them."

"But He Lili called me a suitor who harassed her. Haha, sometimes I really don't know what to say?"

“When she needs my help, she calls me ‘Brother Zhao,’ and I give her all sorts of help, and she feels perfectly at ease with it.”

"Now that I'm back with my boyfriend, he portrays me as... a very sleazy man."

Patting his chest, Zhao Yanwu said unwillingly, "You can ask around. I've been in this business for so long, and all my colleagues know what kind of person I am. Do you think I'm that kind of despicable person?"

"So He Lili spread rumors at her company and to her boyfriend that I had been harassing her. I was really speechless."

After a pause, Zhao Yanwu continued, "However, she later realized that she had gone too far. Perhaps she felt that without my connections in the industry, she wouldn't be able to achieve good results, so she resigned and took another job."

"So all of He Lili's previous achievements were thanks to you?" Lu Weiwei asked curiously upon hearing this.

Zhao Yanwu nodded with a smile: "You could say that. Eighty or ninety percent of the time, it was thanks to my help that she was able to achieve that."

"Of course, a very small part was developed by her own efforts, but it was very small."

“She knows that without my continued help, she would hardly achieve any results in the company, and she would not be able to surpass the performance of the veteran employees.”

"Plus, her boyfriend came to work here and didn't want her to have anything to do with me anymore, so he encouraged her to quit her job."

"Do you know what she did after she resigned?" Yuan Shasha asked.

"Hehe, I know a little." Seeing Yuan Shasha ask, Zhao Yanwu nodded silently and said without further ado:
"I heard she went to work at a bubble tea shop, but that has nothing to do with me. I'm not interested in what kind of job she does."

After a pause, Zhao Yanwu looked relaxed: "Perfect, after cutting off contact with her, I can start my new life again."

"That woman just now, she's been pursuing me. I don't lack suitors. With my looks and qualities, what kind of woman can't I find?"

Despite Zhao Yanwu's seemingly defiant statement, no one felt he was exaggerating.

They thought Zhao Yanwu was a handsome man with some success in his career, decent looks, and eloquence. Such a man would indeed be very popular among women.

Gu Chen looked up at Zhao Yanwu and asked, "So, you hate He Lili and her boyfriend?"

"I hate it, of course I hate it. After all, it took me a lot of time and energy, and in the end they turned around and betrayed me, saying bad things about me."

“I’m absolutely certain that He Lili is selfish, but I can understand that she would definitely choose to be selfish when faced with her boyfriend getting back together. It’s just that I misplaced my trust.”

Waving his hand, Zhao Yanwu said with a sense of relief, "But I no longer think about these things now. It's meaningless. Living in the present is what matters."

"Did you go to He Lili's rented apartment to look for her afterwards?" Lu Weiwei asked.

“No.” Zhao Yanwu replied quickly, “How could I possibly go to her again? It’s over. Ever since her boyfriend came to warn me, my relationship with He Lili has ended, and I haven’t gone to see her again.”

Zhao Yanwu talked a lot and complained a lot in the car.

Everyone could tell that Zhao Yanwu was unwilling and somewhat disappointed.

After all, he had invested time and energy to cultivate a relationship, and even used all his connections to help He Lili.

But what he got in return was He Lili's betrayal, which made Zhao Yanwu a laughing stock among his peers.

Therefore, from a realistic perspective, it is understandable that Zhao Yanwu hates He Lili and her boyfriend.

It was precisely because Zhao Yanwu harbored this hatred that he had the motive to murder He Lili and her boyfriend.

After inquiring about Zhao Yanwu's movements over the past few days, Gu Chen let him leave.

As Zhao Yanwu disappeared from everyone's sight, Lu Weiwei suggested, "Let Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong help investigate Zhao Yanwu's movements these days."

"Especially on the day He Lili and her boyfriend Pan Xu died, what was Zhao Yanwu doing? Was it as he himself said?"

"Okay." Gu Chen nodded silently, speaking without further ado:
"Let Senior Brother He investigate first, and then let Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong verify with the parties involved to see if Zhao Yanwu lied."

"Okay." Seeing that Gu Chen had said so, Lu Weiwei took out her phone and started contacting He Junchao.

……

……

At 5 p.m., Gu Chen and the others returned to the crime scene. They stayed in the car downstairs, and Gu Chen received a call from Ding Liang.

Gu Chen quickly swiped to answer the call and asked, "Ding Liang, how's the investigation going?"

“Gu Chen, Huang Zunlong and I went to the site to ask. On the day He Lili and Pan Xu died, Zhao Yanwu was indeed playing cards with his friends.”

“That night, he was playing mahjong with some friends in the industry until very late in a private room at a bathhouse. There was a card and chess room inside, and he stayed there until the next day. The staff there can all testify to that.”

"Have you checked the surveillance footage?" Gu Chen asked.

"It's been checked, there's no problem. I stayed in the private room the whole time and didn't go out," Ding Liang said.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Ding Liang," Gu Chen said.

"You're welcome."

The two exchanged a few simple pleasantries before hanging up the phone.

Gu Chen leaned back in his chair, looking at the sixth floor, lost in thought.
"Zhao Yanwu had no time to commit the crime, so how did Pan Xu and He Lili die?"

"The conditions for their deaths were met, but the conditions at the scene were not."

With a soft sigh, Gu Chen couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that the murderer used some kind of method to poison them? What could it be? And who did it? What was their motive?"
