I am a super cop

Chapter 3023 Strange Moving
The workers who were moving goods stopped what they were doing and came to the warehouse door as requested by the police.

"Stop! Everyone, come and assemble!" Officer Wang's orders continued.

Since everyone present was dressed in police uniforms, the workers didn't dare to be negligent and quickly gathered together.

"What's the matter, officer?" a middle-aged man asked.

"Is your boss here?" Officer Wang asked.

“The boss is in the warehouse office,” said one of the workers wearing a safety helmet.

"Stop here and gather here." As soon as Officer Wang finished speaking, he immediately instructed Ji Zhe to send people to watch over the workers.

Then, Gu Chen brought Hu Xue over and asked, "What's that boss's name?"

“All I know is that his surname is Wan,” Hu Xue said.

"Is your boss, Mr. Wan, inside?" Gu Chen asked the worker at the door.

The worker nodded: "Yes, it is."

"Thank you." Gu Chen said his thanks and immediately led everyone inside.

Led by Hu Xue, everyone quickly arrived at the office.

Pushing open the door, a bald man was lying sprawled on the sofa, talking on the phone with someone.

Upon seeing everyone enter, the bald man quickly stood up, exchanged a few words with the person on the phone, and then hung up the phone.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?" the bald man asked, standing up.

"Are you Boss Wan here?" Gu Chen asked.

Boss Wan also saw Hu Xue at this moment, and seemed to know the police's purpose, but deliberately pretended to be confused and answered:
"Yeah, what are you doing here?"

"Does she come here often to do business with you?" Lu Weiwei asked.

After thinking for a moment, Boss Wan slowly said, "Yes, she's a regular customer here. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

“Everything she sold you was stolen, didn’t you know?” Yuan Shasha said.

Mr. Wan's expression froze, and he quickly denied it: "Stolen goods? This... I definitely didn't know about this! We're just doing normal business, how could it be theft? What exactly happened?"

After glancing at Hu Xue, Boss Wan pressed, "Miss Hu, what exactly happened?"

"These things are all stolen goods." Hu Xue was completely exhausted at this point and could only nod in admission.

Upon hearing this, Boss Wan immediately became anxious: "Miss Hu, aren't you being ridiculous? How could you do this? Aren't you trying to screw me over?"

“I’m doing legitimate business here, how could you give me stolen goods?”

After a reprimand, Boss Wan looked at Gu Chen and said with a helpless expression, "Officer, you see, I don't know if these things are stolen goods."

"Where is the stuff?" Gu Chen didn't have time to play along with this Boss Wan's act, so he got straight to the point.

"The goods? You've sold everything?" Boss Wan said.

"Do you know where to sell it?" Officer Wang asked.

"This... is not easy to investigate," Mr. Wan said, indicating that he was facing some difficulties.

Officer Wang didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "We're all smart people, how could you not know these are stolen goods?"

"Be smart and tell me where the stolen goods went so we can investigate ourselves. You might get involved too."

"Oh dear, the way you're saying that makes it sound like I'm guilty," Boss Wan retorted.

Officer Wang smiled faintly and continued, "Whether you are guilty or not, you know it in your heart. Let's stop acting."

After glancing at Hu Xue, Officer Wang said, "She puts so many valuable items of unknown origin here for you to sell at low prices. You don't know where these things come from?"

"I don't know." Boss Wan shook his head.

Officer Wang didn't care about any of that: "If you can't explain where these things went, then we'll have to arrest you and investigate you. You might be suspected of trafficking in stolen goods. You know what will happen to you then."

"If you can cooperate with us and bring back all the stolen goods that have been sold, we won't worry about these other things. At least the stolen goods will be returned. Think about it yourself."

Officer Wang has made his point very clear: you need to cooperate. If you don't cooperate, we have plenty of ways to deal with it.

When Boss Wan saw that Hu Xue had been arrested, he knew that something serious had happened. If he didn't cooperate, he would definitely be taken in by the police for questioning.

But this would definitely have a serious impact on my business.

Mr. Wan is a shrewd businessman; he knows exactly what's important and what's not.

After feigning some difficulty, Boss Wan said helplessly, "Actually, it's really difficult to find those things."

“If this is stolen goods recovered by your police, then there’s nothing I can do. I’ll just have to try to help you track down the sales address, since I have a lot of diverse customers.”

"And many people come here to find treasures. I just resell some large items that others don't want, making a small profit from the price difference. It's all about small profits and quick turnover, so I really don't make much money."

“But if I conduct this kind of investigation, it will definitely take me a lot of time to do it.”

"Investigate now," Lu Weiwei said immediately, not wanting to waste time.

Seeing the police's resolute attitude, Boss Wan thought for a moment, then silently nodded and said without further ado:

"Okay, okay, I'll check now, I'll check now, just a moment."

As soon as he finished speaking, Boss Wan immediately returned to his desk and began rummaging through it.

After rummaging through the drawer for a while, he immediately found a notebook and began to look it up.

Seeing this, Gu Chen and the others also gathered around.

Here everyone noticed that the entries in this ledger were all headed by Hu Xue.

This is clearly an account book specifically for recording Hu Xue's records.

Moreover, all records here are clearly visible, including the type and quantity of items.

"You remember it very clearly, don't you?" Officer Wang couldn't help but tease.

Boss Wan grinned and said, "Haha, I almost forgot. I just don't know if I've missed anything."

"Once you find all these lost items, you'll be fine," Officer Wang said.

"But the costs of the setup and labor are there..."

Boss Wan was clearly complaining, after all, operating his warehouse also required certain expenses.

Officer Wang replied without further ado, "We'll discuss this with the owner and see if we can help you get some compensation."

"That's good, that's good." Seeing that Officer Wang had said so, Boss Wan felt there was no need to take it too seriously.

After carefully checking all the contents of the ledger, he handed it directly to Gu Chen, saying, "Officer, all the transaction details are here. You can use this as a reference..." "You contact them. The contact information of the trading partners is all here," Gu Chen interrupted before Manager Wan could finish speaking.

Mr. Wan sighed and said helplessly, "Alright then, I'll make the contact."

“Yes, these are all your clients. We can’t explain things clearly to them. Just tell them that the items they bought are stolen goods and the police are currently pursuing them.”

"Tell them to return all the stolen goods as soon as possible. The transportation costs incurred can be compensated later," Lu Weiwei said.

"Understood." Seeing that the police had said so, Boss Wan seemed to have no more concerns and directly said that everything could be handled.

So, under the supervision of Gu Chen and the others, Boss Wan began to dial phone numbers one by one and communicate with the trading partners.

Just as the recovery of the stolen goods was going relatively smoothly, Gu Chen received a phone call.

Upon seeing that the caller ID was Ding Liang, Gu Chen quickly swiped to answer and asked, "Ding Liang, how's the situation on your end? Have you found that woman?"

"Gu Chen, we haven't found that woman here. She moved away, and all the rooms here are empty."

Ding Liang's answer over the phone surprised Gu Chen.

After all, according to Hu Xue, her best friend had always lived in that same house, so why would she suddenly move out?

Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, then continued to remind Ding Liang, "Ding Liang, did you get the wrong address?"

"No way." Upon hearing Gu Chen's statement, Ding Liang on the other end of the phone quickly retorted:
“We found this place according to the address you provided, but it seems that no one lives here anymore, and the doors are all locked.”

"And according to what the neighbors saw, the little girl who lived in the room has already moved away."

"When did this happen?" Gu Chen asked again.

"In the next couple of days," Ding Liang said.

Gu Chen paused for a moment, then quickly said, "Ding Liang, wait a moment."

Gu Chen put down his phone, walked directly to Hu Xue, and asked, "My colleague said the person at the address you gave me has already moved."

"What? They've already moved out?" Hearing this, Hu Xue was stunned for a moment, and said without hesitation, "No way, how could they have moved out? They didn't even tell me!"

"How many more things are you hiding from us?" Gu Chen asked seriously.

"No, I really don't know." Seeing that Gu Chen had said that, Hu Xue hesitated for a moment and said:

"Should I call her and ask? I really didn't know she had moved."

Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lu Weiwei beside him: "Senior Sister Lu, give her the phone."

"Okay." Lu Weiwei handed Hu Xue's phone over and said, "You'd better not try anything funny."

"No, I don't really know what's going on over there." As she spoke, Hu Xue had already opened her phone, found her friend's contact information, and dialed the number directly.

The phone was answered quickly after ringing for a few seconds.

At Gu Chen's and the others' prompting, Hu Xue had no choice but to put her phone on speakerphone and then asked, "Xiaoya, what's going on with you?"

"Ah, sis, what did you say?" came the response from a young woman on the phone.

"Hey, why didn't you tell me you were moving?" Hu Xue seemed quite unhappy as well.

The woman on the other end of the phone quickly apologized, saying, "I'm so sorry, sis, my move was so sudden that I didn't have time to notify you."

"I plan to give you an update after I finish moving."

"Did they take all those things with them?" Hu Xue quickly asked.

The woman on the other end of the phone quickly replied, "The big items, those oil paintings have been sold as you wished. I still have seven watches and five sets of gold jewelry with me, and they're all with me; they haven't been lost."

"What happened?" Hearing what the other person said, Hu Xue quickly asked, "Where are you now? I'll come find you."

"Now? I'm currently..."

Xiaoya seemed to have no suspicion of Hu Xue and directly told her the new address. Hu Xue exchanged a few words with Xiaoya before hanging up the phone.

After a pause, Hu Xue looked at Gu Chen and said, "My friend moved temporarily, and I don't know what happened. The new address isn't too far from the old one."

"Let's go now," Gu Chen said.

"No problem, let's go now." At this moment, Hu Xue seemed to have no other choice but to follow Gu Chen's arrangements.

So, after handing over the surveillance work here to other officers, Gu Chen drove directly to the new address.

And the new address was directly given to Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong.

……

……

When Gu Chen's team arrived at the new address, Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong's team had already arrived and subdued Xiao Ya.

This is an old community, a two-bedroom, two-living-room house. When Gu Chen saw Xiao Ya, he realized that she looked very young and rather thin.

When he was taken into custody by the police, he huddled in a corner, trembling with fear, seemingly not expecting to be caught red-handed by the police.

When Xiaoya saw Hu Xue being brought in by the police, she cried out in distress, "Sister, what happened?"

"I'm sorry, Xiaoya, I had no choice." Faced with Xiaoya's tearful complaint, Hu Xue sighed and comforted her.

"Now that we've come this far, we have no choice but to follow the police's instructions. Don't be afraid."

While Hu Xue was comforting Xiao Ya, Huang Zunlong had already laid out the stolen goods on the ground, numbered them, and taken photos.

Upon seeing Gu Chen, Huang Zunlong quickly reminded him, "We only found these stolen goods. The rest have reportedly already been sold."

"Hmm." Listening to Huang Zunlong's report, Gu Chen patted him on the shoulder, then walked towards Xiaoya and asked:

What is your relationship with Hu Xue?

“She’s my sister, we’re from the same hometown,” Xiaoya replied softly.

"How did you start doing this?" Gu Chen asked again.

“I didn’t want to go to work, so Sister Xue let me work with her as her assistant. The salary was several times higher than what I used to earn, so I’ve been working for Sister Xue ever since,” Xiaoya said.

"What is your main job?" Yuan Shasha asked.

"My main job is to help Sister Xue collect these valuable little items, and then sell them according to the buyers Sister Xue has contacted. I personally deliver them to the buyers and then conduct the transactions," Xiao Ya said, trembling.

"So, you also take a cut in the middle?" Officer Wang asked.

“Yes.” Xiaoya nodded silently and said slowly, “Sister Xue gives me ten percent of the earnings for each transaction. This is my main source of income.”
