I am a super cop

Chapter 494 Missing banknotes

Gu Chen listened carefully to everyone's opinions, then walked up to the proprietress, and asked, "Where is your husband now? Can I take a look?"

With tears on her face, the woman nodded and said, "Yes, come with me."

Afterwards, everyone gave way like a tide, and in front of Gu Chen was a stretcher bed covered with a layer of white cloth.

Gu Chen looked at Police Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei. The three put on white gloves one by one, and gently lifted the white cloth.

"what--"

Suddenly there was a commotion at the scene.

Lu Weiwei turned her head and said, "Please don't get too close, can you go out for a while? Our police are going to test the deceased."

Everyone looked at each other, and after hesitating for a few seconds, the stubble-faced man said: "Everyone, let's listen to the police. Make room for the police to investigate."

"That's fine."

"The factory is still there anyway."

"Well, then we'll wait outside."

"Go away."

Also driven by the bearded man, the worker representatives slowly left the morgue, gently closed the door of the mortuary, and continued chattering outside.

Gu Chen took a deep breath and continued to conduct various tests on the deceased.

After a while, the proprietress asked, "Comrade policeman, did you find anything?"

Gu Chen frowned and said, "As far as I'm concerned, this is the first time I've encountered this kind of situation. After all, my whole body was burnt black, which shows how painful your husband was at that time."

"Yeah." Feeling that she had found a sympathy, the woman cried again: "My husband is a good man and treats the workers in the factory very well. Although our industry has the habit of withholding wages for several months, every For months, my husband allowed them to advance part of their wages to them without exceeding the limit."

"I thought that my husband's behavior can be exchanged for everyone's understanding, but I was wrong. Everyone is selfish when it comes to money. They come to ask me for money at this time. Isn't it killing me?"

"Don't worry, everything is negotiable." Gu Chen also looked at the anxious figures outside the door through the transparent glass of the morgue door, and said involuntarily, "After all, the workers are all waiting for money for the New Year."

"I don't think they are mentally prepared for this kind of thing to happen, but the money must be given, and we can think of other ways."

Glancing at the body of the deceased on the stretcher, Gu Chen said again: "As for your husband's accidental death and those disappearing banknotes, I think you have to go to the first scene to find out what happened last night, so, Can any of you show me there?"

"I can." The tall and thin man immediately raised his hand and said: "Let my sister stay here, I can take you to the scene to see, my brother-in-law's burned off-road vehicle is still on the scene for the time being."

"But what if those workers keep pestering them?" The proprietress asked with a headache when she heard that her brother was leaving.

Officer Wang took a step forward and comforted: "You don't have to worry about this. I will persuade them to go back first and leave this matter to our police to handle it. What you have to do now is to find a way to raise funds, whether it is enough or not. , more or less have to pay wages."

"I see." Seeing what Police Officer Wang said, the proprietress immediately stopped talking.

After receiving the verbal reply from the proprietress, Police Officer Wang immediately took Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei to circle the crowd at the door for a few minutes.

These worker representatives left with some satisfaction.

Afterwards, Gu Chen drove, took Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei and the tall and thin man together, and drove towards No. [-] Highway in Panlong Town.

In the car, Lu Weiwei asked casually, "Sir, haven't I asked your name yet?"

"Oh, my name is Zhao Ping." The man said.

"Have you been in your sister's factory for many years?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

"Five or six years." Zhao Ping hesitated, and then confirmed: "It seems to be five years. At that time, the factory director of my sister's factory had just left, and my sister called me from Wenzhou to work as a factory for them. long."

"Oh?" Officer Wang asked casually when he heard this, "Then Mr. Zhao Ping, did you also do this in other places before?"

"Yes, I worked as a manager in a garment factory in Wenzhou, and I understand many processes. After all, I belong to myself. My sister and brother-in-law entrusted me with the management of the garment factory, so I feel more at ease."

"So I went back to Jiangnan City and helped my sister manage the factory together. I stayed there for five years. Counting the work I did in other places before, I have been in this industry for more than ten years."

"Then what kind of person do you think your brother-in-law is? Can you give an objective evaluation?" Gu Chen, who was driving, looked at Zhao Ping in the rearview mirror and asked casually.

In order to dispel Zhao Ping's misunderstanding, Gu Chen said again: "Don't think too much, I just want to know more about your brother-in-law's personality from the perspective of the case, including whether he has offended anyone before."

"It doesn't matter." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Zhao Ping didn't care, and said directly: "My brother-in-law is quite a good person. In all fairness, he is known as a good person in this industry."

"Usually, the wives of the workers in the factory have to go to the hospital in the town for a check-up. Even after midnight, my brother-in-law will act as a driver and drive them to the hospital."

"There are also workers in our factory, many of whom are foreigners. It is a big problem for children to study."

"For this reason, my brother-in-law also discussed with the schools in the town before and after, and finally arranged all the children of the employees in the factory to suitable schools."

"And every holiday, the old employees in the factory can receive a lot of welfare bonuses according to the length of service."

"It can be said that as long as my brother-in-law is mentioned, no one in the factory does not give a thumbs up, because everyone believes in him and thinks he is a good boss, so the turnover rate of our garment factory has always been very low."

"Yeah, it's really good to be a boss who can do what your brother-in-law does." Gu Chen also asked after learning about the relevant situation: "Then, has your brother-in-law offended any villain? After all, a gentleman is magnanimous. People are all relatives."

"Small man?" Zhao Ping scratched the back of his head and thought for a while, then said again: "It's unrealistic to say no, after all, people who do this kind of business will offend some people."

"For example, those material suppliers who are not very talkative, sometimes a little more in arrears, they will yell all kinds of things, that is to say, it is easy to talk to my sister-in-law, so they always try to get my brother-in-law in terms of payment. .”

"As for other bosses who are not talkative, their material suppliers are very generous. After all, it is the uncle who owes money these years."

"It's usually fine. My brother-in-law's factory's working capital can still handle it, but sometimes there are some accidents that cause problems with the goods, and the dealers hold back the goods. At that time, working capital will be more difficult."

"That's why my brother-in-law suppressed them a lot of money and didn't pay them a few times because these material suppliers pushed me into a hurry. It's also to let them know my brother-in-law's temper."

"Since then, these material suppliers have really become more obedient. They no longer dare to bully honest people, and they no longer press too hard for the payment."

"There is also some malicious competition among peers. These are unavoidable and will offend some."

After thinking about it, Zhao Ping said helplessly: "Aside from these, I really can't think of anyone else that my brother-in-law has offended. After all, he is very upright and never engages in crooked ways."

"I see." After fully understanding the situation of the deceased, Gu Chen stopped asking.

After all, what Zhao Ping said just now does not seem to be of much help to the investigation of the case.

But at least it shows that the deceased was a more upright boss.

As for how he died, everything can only be concluded after arriving at the scene and conducting an investigation.

"It's almost there." Zhao Ping pointed to the intersection ahead and said, "After two more turns, it should be the place where my brother-in-law's accident happened. The guardrail over there has been smashed, so we're just using some temporary roadblocks for protection."

"Look, there are all safety signs on the side of the road. Vehicles passing by here must be careful."

While Zhao Ping was speaking, Gu Chen also saw the crashed guardrail, but to Gu Chen's surprise, this is not a super curve, it can only be said to be an ordinary mountain road, the curvature is not very big.

But in such a place, how could an old driver who has not deducted points from his driver's license for several years have an accident in this place?
Gu Chen couldn't help being curious.

After parking the car firmly on the side of the road, in order to warn passing vehicles, Gu Chen also specially turned on the warning light on the roof of the car.

At this moment, everyone came to the edge of the cliff together. The skeleton of the burned off-road vehicle was at the bottom of the mountain at this moment.

Although it is a cliff, the slope of the accident site is not very steep, but rather gentle.

It is not a big problem for people to go down here.

And combined with the footprints of various military boots on the side of the road, as well as the rescue scenes seen in the news video before, Gu Chen can judge that the blue sky rescue team also descended from this location.

"It's here." Zhao Ping pointed to the car wreckage down the mountain.

Gu Chen didn't go down immediately, but turned around to investigate the traces on the road.

"Mr. Zhao." Gu Chen turned his head and glanced at Zhao Ping.

"I'm here." Hearing Gu Chen's call, Zhao Ping immediately walked over from the side of the road: "What's the matter, Comrade Police?"

"Your brother-in-law did rush back to the garment factory from the city, right?" Gu Chen asked.

"That's right, before he came back, he called my sister, and I was by my sister's side at the time, so I heard it clearly." Zhao Ping said.

Gu Chen pointed to the outside road and said, "That means, your brother-in-law was indeed taking the outside of Highway No. [-]."

"That's right." Zhao Ping didn't know the meaning of Gu Chen asking such a boring question, but he nodded to confirm.

Gu Chen folded his hands on his chest and thought carefully while resting his chin.

"The road is not as curved as imagined. How could the vehicle suddenly rush out of the guardrail and roll down the mountain?"

"Or, what accident happened at night? Could it be that he was hit by a car and went down the mountain?"

Looking at the surrounding situation, since No. [-] Highway is a winding road, there are few cameras nearby, which gave Gu Chen some headaches.

So Gu Chen left Police Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei and Zhao Ping, went to a far away place, and closed his eyes.

By using his entry-level imagination, soon, Gu Chen's mind was spinning, and when Gu Chen opened his eyes again, the whole world was already pitch black.

Gu Chen looked down at the time.

At this moment, it was the first few minutes of the accident last night.

The road was unusually quiet, and there were a few "cuckoo" calls from time to time in the woods.

"It should be here soon." Gu Chen frowned, waiting patiently.

Soon, on the side of the road, an off-road vehicle with lights on was slowly approaching the accident site.

Since there are no street lights on the Panshan Highway, vehicles can identify the width of the road, all relying on the reflective strips on the roadside guardrails.

Under the illumination of lights at night, the reflective strips on the guardrail can indicate the distance between the vehicle and the corner of the guardrail.

After going through several curves, the off-road vehicle drove smoothly through the road where the incident occurred.

"It's not like this." Gu Chen snapped his fingers, and soon, the scene returned to the previous tranquility.

"If you can even drive through the previous few sharp corners smoothly, how can you rush out of the guardrail on such a smooth road here, causing the car to crash and kill people? It doesn't make sense."

Gu Chen shook his head, then snapped his fingers again.

At this moment, the off-road vehicle was still in the distance, and the driver seemed to be a little tired driving, so the speed was extremely slow.

At this moment, a large truck suddenly drove towards him, heading towards the off-road vehicle.

At this moment, the truck driver was also driving tired and did not pay attention to the off-road vehicle coming from the opposite side.

But at this gentle place, the two cars collided suddenly.

The truck squeezed all the way, knocking the off-road vehicle directly out of the guardrail and falling into the cliff.

Gu Chen snapped his fingers.

Soon, the picture freezes there instantly.

Gu Chen walked slowly to the side of the road, and after seeing the scene of the car crashing, he couldn't help feeling suspicious.

"According to what the deceased's wife and Zhao Ping said, there was a sack of banknotes behind the off-road vehicle at the time, but after the vehicle burned down, the rescue team found no trace of the banknotes being burned."

"Even if it's paper, it's impossible not to have some scraps, right?"

Thinking of this, Gu Chen walked over to carefully examine the critical angle of the off-road vehicle being pushed towards the cliff by a large truck and crashing into the guardrail.

Combined with the situation seen at the scene just now, it seems that the latter possibility is more reliable.

"It should be like this." Gu Chen snapped his fingers, and soon his mind was spinning.

When Gu Chen opened his eyes again, the eyes were already bright, and Gu Chen returned to reality again.

"Junior Brother Gu." At this moment, Lu Weiwei was waving at him on the side of the road: "Lao Wang and I are going to go down to have a look, do you want to go down?"

"Go, of course." Gu Chen trotted over, patted Zhao Ping on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Zhao also go with us."

"Okay!" Zhao Ping agreed without thinking.

It didn't take much time to go downhill to the bottom of the mountain.

The off-road vehicle that crashed down the mountain was also burned to a skeleton at this moment, and there was a burning smell everywhere.

Judging from the scene, the Blue Sky Rescue Team seems to have cleared up many flammable vegetation around the vehicle and created an open area in order to prevent the vehicle from igniting again.

Lu Weiwei covered her nose and complained, "How big is the fire? There's only this skeleton left."

"Lu Weiwei, didn't you read the news?" Police Officer Wang couldn't help but said, "The Blue Sky Rescue Team has already said that it was fuel that ignited, and it smells like burnt fuel."

"But where did those banknotes go?" Lu Weiwei broke off a branch nearby, and poked at the trunk of the vehicle skeleton, trying to find the fragments of banknotes.

Gu Chen also made a general inspection of the car, and said, "You don't need to look for it, there is no trace of burnt banknotes at all, and there are almost none around."

"That's not right, can these banknotes still disappear?" Lu Weiwei couldn't explain it clearly anyway, so she asked Zhao Ping: "I said, Mr. Zhao, could it be that your brother-in-law had a drink with those friends during dinner?" Liquor, did you forget where you put your banknotes?"

"Impossible." Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Zhao Ping immediately retorted: "My brother-in-law is a very self-disciplined person. He is afraid that drinking will cause trouble, and he almost never drinks alcohol, unless it is Chinese New Year. After drinking, he will never drive."

"One time I had a drink with a friend. He just took a sip of white wine and immediately called a substitute driver. So if you want to say that my brother-in-law drove after drinking, I don't agree with it. I firmly disagree."

"I didn't say it must be, I just asked casually." Gu Chen didn't expect that Zhao Ping would firmly oppose the topic of brother-in-law driving after drinking.

Of course, it can be seen that the deceased is indeed a very self-disciplined boss, and it seems that the rule of drunk driving is not valid.

"That's strange." Officer Wang also had his hips on his hips, and said curiously, "Since your brother-in-law has confirmed with you before returning home that the banknotes are in the car, can it still disappear?"

"That's right." Lu Weiwei also came over and said, "Your brother-in-law couldn't possibly be robbed halfway, right? After the robbers took away your brother-in-law's banknotes, they drove your brother-in-law and the car down the mountain, and then set fire to the car?"

"Senior Sister Lu." Gu Chen looked at Lu Weiwei seriously, and said lightly, "It's not impossible."

"Huh?" When Police Officer Wang heard it, Gu Chen actually believed Lu Weiwei's nonsense, so he couldn't help asking him curiously: "Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei is just talking casually, and you take it seriously?"

"Really." Gu Chen said.

Officer Wang squinted his eyes immediately, and said again: "Even if you are serious, you have to find evidence of the fire. People from the Blue Sky Rescue Team have already said that it was the fuel that caught fire, which caused a large area of ​​vehicles to be burned."

Seeing Gu Chen messing around in front of the car frame, Police Officer Wang asked again: "Gu Chen, are you listening to me?"

"Listen." Gu Chen, also wearing white gloves, pulled hard on the front frame of the car.

Also because of insufficient strength, Gu Chen directly used both hands and feet, put his right foot on the frame of the vehicle, and pulled out his hands.

He also heard a "click", and Gu Chen flew upside down like a kite with a broken string.
