I am a super cop

Chapter 3027 Strange Client
In the office, everyone felt that what Lao Wang said was right. After all, someone as ambitious as Hu Xue could indeed reach the top of the pyramid in some industry.

Of course, not some illegitimate industry, such as sales. Officer Wang also felt that Hu Xue was very good at talking, hardworking, and frugal.

Having clear goals in life is something that most women who earn a lot of money can hardly control their spending desires.

Therefore, Officer Wang had always thought highly of Hu Xue, but Hu Xue ended up on a path of crime.

Originally, it was thought that these big bosses would not choose to call the police out of consideration for their reputation, but some people just couldn't swallow their anger. It's all because Hu Xue went too far and emptied their homes.

If it were just a few pieces of gold and silver jewelry, many people would probably choose to let nothing happen.

Officer Wang took a sip of goji berry tea and said without further ado, "I feel that Hu Xue's ambition is too great, to the point that she acts without considering the consequences."

"If she hadn't emptied the house, this matter probably wouldn't have come to light."

With a soft sigh, Officer Wang continued, "So sometimes, people have to control their greed."

"Hu Xue is actually quite a contradictory woman. She can control her spending desires, but she has a hard time controlling her greed."

"This tumble was the result of greed. She could have just taken a few things and people would have accepted them as gifts, but she insisted on taking their furniture."

At this point, Officer Wang couldn't help but chuckle, "I've never seen such a bold woman before."

"Maybe it's just a habit." Hearing Officer Wang's teasing, Yuan Shasha retorted without hesitation:
"Hu Xue might be a little nervous since it's her first time moving someone else's things. She might reflect on whether she went too far?"

"But once she completes the first time, Hu Xue's courage will be amplified infinitely, because she is an adventurous person by nature."

“Once she discovers that no one will choose to call the police for doing this kind of thing, then in her mind, it is something that can be done.”

With a sigh, Yuan Shasha said helplessly, "So in the end, it's still a problem with Hu Xue's perception. I feel that she is a very ambitious person, but unfortunately she has gone astray."

"If you go astray, you'll have to go in," Officer Wang said jokingly, sipping his goji berry tea.

"In the end, it's people like Hu Xue who make money too easily, by selling their bodies. Can that be called ambition? That's called self-degradation."

"To be honest, sometimes I look down on women who sell their bodies for money, but this Hu Xue is really a bit of a weirdo."

“Yes.” Hearing Officer Wang say that, Yuan Shasha smiled and said:
"Hu Xue seems to have some intelligence and some ambition, but not much of it."

"Especially when you talk to her, you are really shocked by her remarks."

"Fortunately, she has been caught, and the stolen items can now be recovered, which is good. At least we made the right decision to arrest her."

"I think those owners might lose face. Getting their things back might not be a good thing for them," He Junchao joked, listening to the conversation.

Lu Weiwei turned her head and asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

"The reasoning is simple." He Junchao leaned back in his chair, spread his hands, and said without further ado:

“Some people lose these things, but for the sake of face and reputation, they will pretend that nothing happened.”

“Their affair with mistresses was something they were doing in the dark. Now that the police have arrested Hu Xue and are returning the stolen goods to these people, there’s no such thing as a secret that stays hidden forever.”

"These things will eventually be found out by the families of these big bosses."

Taking a sip of tea, He Junchao continued, "Although we helped them recover their stolen goods, it may have also damaged their happy family to some extent."

"Hehe, if that's the case, I'd be happy to help them return the stolen goods with great fanfare," Lu Weiwei said jokingly.

Yuan Shasha, who was standing to the side, also said with a smile, "That's what I meant too, it's to embarrass them and let their families know."

"Otherwise they will do it again and again. These people are all hypocrites, there's no need to give them face."

"That's true, but it wouldn't be good if it resulted in a murder," He Junchao warned.

Lu Weiwei suddenly covered her mouth: "He Junchao, don't be such a jinx."

"I'm not a jinx," He Junchao quickly explained upon hearing Lu Weiwei's comment.
"The problem is that some of the family members of these big bosses have strong personalities. If they find out that their husbands are having affairs, they'll be ready to fight. It's not uncommon for this to happen."

"Let's stop talking." Seeing that He Junchao was still rambling on, Lu Weiwei quickly told him to shut up.

Everyone is still organizing their respective materials; the main work is now in its final stages.

The biggest problem now is recovering these stolen goods. Thanks to Gu Chen's excellent coordination, most of the large items in the warehouse have been recovered.

Moreover, the warehouse owner was very cooperative. Knowing that he had run into such bad luck, he could only obediently cooperate with the police investigation, otherwise he might encounter even bigger trouble.

Therefore, the work of recovering large furniture items at the warehouse is progressing smoothly.

In just half a day, the warehouse owner had already taken steps to recover the stolen goods, and almost all the buyers who had purchased the stolen goods expressed their willingness to return them.

This will greatly help the police work.

However, compared to the recovery of large items in the warehouse, the recovery of small luxury items from Xu Lang's side is not so easy.

Despite Yuan Shasha's repeated phone calls to confirm, one buyer still refused to respond.

"You mean, the buyer isn't willing?" Yuan Shasha confirmed again over the phone.

"Yes, my brother said a lot of nice things, but the other party doesn't seem to accept them. They have a terrible temper, and my brother doesn't know what to do now," Xu Lang's younger brother said helplessly over the phone.

"Isn't there any other better solution?" Yuan Shasha continued to press.

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone before the voice said, "There's nothing we can do right now unless the police themselves get involved. My brother can't do anything about it."

The two talked on the phone for a while longer before Yuan Shasha finally hung up.

With a soft sigh, Yuan Shasha looked at Gu Chen and said helplessly, "Senior Brother Gu, it seems that the recovery of Xu Lang's valuable stolen goods has encountered difficulties."

"What difficulties?" Gu Chen asked, looking up.

Yuan Shasha quickly explained, "That's right, most buyers are willing to cooperate and return the stolen goods they bought."

"But there was one buyer who seemed quite resistant and unwilling to accept it." "Xu Lang's brother communicated with him many times, and even Xu Lang himself called him, but that buyer just wouldn't cooperate and even hung up on Xu Lang."

With a sigh, Yuan Shasha said helplessly, "So Xu Lang is completely helpless right now. It seems that only the police can solve this problem."

"Is it really that troublesome?" Lu Weiwei said irritably, "These were stolen goods to begin with, and now they're refusing to return them?"

“Yes.” No sooner had Lu Weiwei finished speaking than Officer Wang, standing beside her, couldn’t help but tease her:
“If these are normal goods, then there’s no problem. Second-hand luxury goods are all considered legal transactions.”

"But this is clearly stolen goods, why is the other party so stubborn? Isn't this ridiculous?"

"It's just nonsense," Yuan Shasha said slowly, looking helpless.

"Xu Lang's brother said that the client was very difficult to deal with, and eventually he stopped answering the phone altogether, so Xu Lang couldn't do anything about it."

"So now, Xu Lang can only ask his brother to give us the customer's address and contact information so that our police can handle it."

"Give me the address." Gu Chen asked, reaching out for the address.

Yuan Shasha quickly handed the address she had written on a sticky note to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen glanced at it casually and immediately sensed that there was something wrong with the address.

"Living here?" Gu Chen looked up at Yuan Shasha.

Yuan Shasha nodded silently: "Yes, this is the address Xu Lang's brother gave me."

"What kind of stolen goods are these?" Gu Chen asked again.

“He bought a gold watch, worth around 60 yuan, from Xu Lang for 32 yuan,” Yuan Shasha said.

“That’s considered a luxury item.” Hearing Yuan Shasha’s words, Gu Chen crossed his fingers, seemingly lost in thought.
“It costs nearly 32 yuan, which is not cheap, but the buyer lives in an old residential area.”

“I remember that this place is almost deserted. It used to be a residential area for families, but the houses are so dilapidated that many have been identified as dangerous buildings and are no longer suitable for living.”

“Yes.” Officer Wang walked over to Gu Chen, glanced at the address, and muttered to himself:
"This place doesn't seem like a place where rich people live."

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei walked over and glanced at the address, saying, "The No. 3 Fertilizer Plant's residential area? This place is indeed quite remote. Would rich people live here?"

“If the buyer has 32, they can buy many houses here with that money.”

"These houses are so expensive, no one would want to live in them even if you gave them away. It's really hard to figure out what the buyer would do with such an expensive luxury item?"

Listening to everyone's discussion, Gu Chen glanced at Yuan Shasha and asked, "Has Xu Lang said anything about what this buyer does?"

"It wasn't explained very clearly." Yuan Shasha shook her head and continued to explain:
“I also asked Xu Lang’s brother about the buyer’s identity and occupation. His brother said he didn’t know either.”

"I just had my eye on a gold watch, and then I haggled with them and finally bought it for 32 yuan."

"Afterwards, Xu Lang called to explain, but the other party seemed unwilling to return it and eventually hung up on Xu Lang."

"Xu Lang wanted to continue the communication, but the other party simply wouldn't answer the phone, so Xu Lang had no choice."

"How did Xu Lang meet him?" Gu Chen asked again.

Yuan Shasha shook her head: "I'm not very clear about that. Xu Lang's younger brother told me that his brother often hangs out in circles, so he has forgotten how many customers were added to his contacts."

"Some of them I met at parties, some at business cocktail parties, and some at business leaders forums. It's all very different."

"But the people he knows, or those he can add to his contact list, are all quite influential figures."

"But Xu Lang doesn't have much of an impression of this person."

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Shasha added, "Oh, by the way, Xu Lang's younger brother said that this person might be someone Xu Lang met at a banquet, probably a friend of a friend."

"There were many people at the time, and everyone was drinking to their heart's content, so we added quite a few more people."

"Moreover, Xu Lang often adds people in this way, since people who join his circle of friends are all potential customers."

"Xu Lang also frequently posts photos of luxury goods on his WeChat Moments to attract many potential customers to make purchases."

"But Xu Lang didn't know much about this person, and he was quite surprised when he found the address."

"So that means even Xu Lang himself doesn't know who the buyer is?" Gu Chen asked again upon hearing this.

Yuan Shasha nodded silently and quickly explained, "That's most likely the case, because Xu Lang only cares about money when selling luxury goods, not people."

“As long as someone buys his luxury goods, that person is his god. When dealing with his god, Xu Lang only sells the goods; as for the rest, he doesn’t care too much.”

“Unless it’s a repeat customer with a high purchase rate, Xu Lang will not pay special attention to them, but it is clear that this buyer is not one of Xu Lang’s repeat customers.”

"Only looking at money?" After listening to Yuan Shasha's explanation, Gu Chen muttered to himself before looking up at everyone and saying:

“I think this buyer is quite interesting. He lives in a very dilapidated and remote neighborhood, yet he can spend 32 yuan to buy a gold watch. This person is obviously not simple.”

After finishing speaking, Gu Chen looked at He Junchao and said, "Senior Brother He, could you please help me investigate some relevant information about this client?"

"Where should we start?" Hearing Gu Chen's explanation, He Junchao asked curiously.

Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, then flicked his right index finger and said, "Start with the phone number."

“Alright.” He Junchao nodded in agreement and said, “Then give me the phone number.”

Yuan Shasha handed the information note to He Junchao, who then began to look up the buyer's personal information based on the phone number.

A short while later, He Junchao quickly turned to Gu Chen and reported, "Gu Chen, we've found the registrant for this phone number. His name is Zhang Meng."

"Zhang Meng? Continue," Gu Chen urged.
