I am a super cop

Chapter 718 You Lose From The Moment You Flip The Price Card

Looking at Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha who were confused, Gu Chen said again: "Of course, seeing is not necessarily believing. Since there are suspicions, then we must not let go of any clues."

"I understand." Of course Lu Weiwei understood.

How could such a good music internet celebrity only come to Hehua Township once and become a suspect?
It doesn't make sense!
However, judging from the current situation, it is true that Makino is the most likely suspect.

Afa of the Peacock Nursery Breeding Base basically told everyone about all the movements these days when he visited the Nursery Base last time.

Therefore, everyone including Makino knew about the one-week vacation of Afa's workers.

But the metal buttons found in the hands of the deceased Ah Fa ruled out most of them.

According to Yuan Shasha's prompt, Gu Chen searched for WG's European trendy brands on the Internet on his mobile phone.

But what surprised Gu Chen was that what Yuan Shasha said was a little expensive, but in Gu Chen's eyes it was definitely a luxury.

An ordinary men's shirt from WG, the cheapest out-of-season product, costs upwards of 800RMB.

All styles are basically more than [-] yuan...

This price threshold is enough to exclude most people.

Gu Chen specifically searched for WG stores in Jiangnan City, and found that there was only one on Renmin Road.

From this point of view, the scope of investigation seems to be continuously narrowing.

"Senior Brother Wang." Gu Chen looked back at Police Officer Wang, and said, "Mu Ye needs to be monitored, especially his movements these days."

"I'll ask He Junchao to follow up." Police officer Wang understood Gu Chen's meaning in seconds, and walked out of the gate directly.

Gu Chen then also came to the door, stood in front of Wan Gang and Wan Ting and reminded: "Major Wan, the scene needs to be protected, don't let anyone approach."

"Don't worry about that." After all, Wan Gang is the head of the township, and he knows many things as soon as he talks about it.

Before the murderer is caught and brought to justice, on-site protection is very important, so Wan Gang said again: "I will immediately arrange for people to seal this place up. If you need anything, just come to me."

"Thank you for your cooperation." Gu Chen nodded silently, then turned around and asked Wan Ting, "You are the first witness who discovered that Boss Afa was burned to death, and you will cooperate with us to make a record later."

"Yes." Wanting readily agreed. "

Then Gu Chen handed over these tasks to Lu Weiwei.

At this moment, He Junchao and Officer Wang have also returned to the scene of the crime.

Together, the two carried the charred corpse into a body bag, and prepared to take it back to the technical department of the Municipal Bureau and hand it over to Liu's forensic team for further testing.

After all the on-site work was completed, everyone bid farewell to Chief Wan, and Officer Ding drove everyone back to the urban area.

In the car, Gu Chen picked up a pen and paper, and began to make further work arrangements.

"Senior Brother He, I will leave the job of finding Muye to you. I need all the movements of Muye in the past few days."

"No problem." He Junchao, who focused on technology, readily agreed.

Yuan Shasha hesitated for a moment, and asked Gu Chen: "Brother Gu, since Muye is the most suspected, why don't you contact Miss Xiaolan from the TV station and ask her to tell us Muye's address. Wouldn't it be easier to investigate this way?"

"You must not tell her." Gu Chen directly interrupted Yuan Shasha's thoughts, saying: "The relationship between Xiaolan and Muye is very unusual, if Bai Xiaolan is emotional, tells Muye about our purpose and questions Muye Whether it is true or not, Makino will definitely be vigilant in advance, which will bring us unnecessary troubles instead."

"That's right." Lu Weiwei also agreed with Gu Chen's opinion very much, and said, "Since everyone had dinner together that day, I found that Muye seems to be interested in Bai Xiaolan."

"And Bai Xiaolan regards Muye as a friend. Since she is a friend, she must have subjective emotions. Maybe she will tell him the situation if she slips up."

"Besides, we are investigating Makino now, and we need his activities in the past few days. Once Makino knows in advance that we are investigating him, maybe he will destroy the corresponding clues before we find the evidence, which will not be worth the candle."

"That's right, that's the reason." Officer Wang echoed.

But Yuan Shasha couldn't believe it, and said regretfully: "I still can't believe it. Muye is the murderer. Muye is doing public welfare for Hehua Township, but we have to investigate him. It feels weird."

"Xiao Yuan." Lie on the seat, Police Officer Wang admonished him as someone who had been there:

"Don't be too obedient. You can refuse what you don't want to do. Don't force what you can't do. If you don't like it, pretend you didn't hear it. Your life is not to please others but to treat yourself well."

"But as a people's policeman, you have to accept a lot of objective reluctance."

"You don't want to investigate others, what about the dead? Who will be responsible for them?"

"Understood Senior Brother Wang." After all, Yuan Shasha is a rookie, after all, a few days ago, she and Muye were doing charity work for the people of Hehua Township.

Turning her head to investigate him now, Yuan Shasha felt a little subjectively unwilling.

Of course, Gu Chen also noticed these things.

Gu Chen was worried that if he informed Bai Xiaolan of the TV station, Bai Xiaolan would have the same subjective reaction as Yuan Shasha.

And once this idea arises, it is difficult to control whether Bai Xiaolan will inform Makino of the situation.

Because emotion is a terrible existence in the process of handling a case.

Maintaining absolute objectivity and fairness is the principle that Gu Chen has always adhered to in handling cases.

Regardless of the depth of the relationship between the parties and themselves, once they are involved in the case, they should be investigated.

……

……

After handing over the corpse to the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau, Gu Chen and everyone returned to the Furong Branch.

After a short rest, He Junchao and Officer Ding were in charge of investigating Muye's information and at the same time investigating Muye's various trajectories these days.

Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha came to the WG store on Renmin Road.

As soon as she entered the door, the waitress in a high-end uniform was shocked by the four uniformed policemen in front of her.

Watching the police enter the WG store, as a female shop assistant who has been dealing with rich customers for a long time, I am naturally a little surprised.

How much is the salary of the police per month?Dare to drill into this store?
To be honest, the clerks are more or less snobbish when dealing with high-end consumers in Jiangnan City for a long time.

But when she saw Gu Chen who walked in the door last, the waitress immediately looked delighted.

So she took the initiative to walk in front of Gu Chen, and asked softly, "Excuse me... what kind of clothes do you four need?"

"We're not here to buy clothes, we're here to handle cases," Gu Chen said.

"Are you working on a case?" The waitress grinned and said jokingly, "Is it some girl in our store who broke the heart of some handsome guy and wanted to commit suicide by jumping off the building or something?"

After all, the waitresses who can enter the WG store are actually selected according to the standards of flight attendants.

Therefore, from the moment they walked into the store, everyone felt that the temperament of the waitresses in this store was comparable to that of flight attendants.

Since they are in the clothing industry, the uniforms worn by each waitress are also expensive.

Gu Chen didn't show great facial expressions because of the teasing of the waitress in front of him, but calmly took out a palm-sized transparent forensic bag, and showed the metal button in front of him: "Do you know me?"

"What is this?" The waitress stared blankly, and hurriedly got closer, before saying, "This metal button belongs to our WG brand."

Looking up at Gu Chen, the waitress asked puzzled, "What? Is there a problem?"

"Which style is it?" Gu Chen asked again.

The waitress was a little dazed, she turned her head with a slight frown, and shouted, "Shop Manager, come quickly and see, which piece of clothing is this button on?"

"Here we come." A middle-aged woman who was chatting with the clerk near the dressing room came over reluctantly.

The moment he saw Gu Chen, he also saw the button in Gu Chen's hand, and immediately exclaimed:
"This police officer, why haven't I seen you in the store? The buttons of your clothes have fallen off, right? It doesn't matter. We have professional tailors here who can sew them on for you for free."

The waitress at the side quickly tugged at the corner of the store manager's clothes and reminded: "They are here to handle the case."

"Handling the case?" The middle-aged female store manager was stunned again, and asked weakly: "Excuse me, police officers, what can I do for help?"

"Do you know which style of button this is?" Lu Weiwei asked for Gu Chen.

The female store manager took the transparent evidence collection bag from Gu Chen's hand, and carefully observed it through the film.

She didn't speak, but walked directly to the side with the buttons, and began to compare the metal buttons in her hand with the styles in the store.

And Gu Chen and everyone followed behind, wherever the female store manager went, everyone followed.

Finally, when the female store manager walked to a hanger not far from the cashier, she said, "By the way, this is this one. This is last year's style. We only buy three sets in total."

Officer Wang hurriedly stepped forward, flipped through the price tag habitually, and said in shock, "I'll go, your last year's style is only 1500% off now? The original price is more than [-]."

"The clothes in our store have always been at the forefront of fashion. Even if they are out of season, they are classics. Classics will never be outdated." The female store manager also gave her own answer.

Gu Chen frowned suddenly, recalling the live broadcast in Hehua Township that day, Makino was indeed wearing this shirt.

So Gu Chen hurriedly asked: "You said that your store only buys three sets in total, how many sets are there now?"

"That's all. If the police officer wants it, I can use my own VIP card to give you a 8% discount." The store manager also couldn't help but started the business.

After all, the reason why a store manager can become a store manager is because he can turn chatting into business anytime, anywhere.

Gu Chen waved his hand and declined: "Thank you for your kindness, I just want to know now, do you still have any impression of the two customers who bought this style?"

"Yes, one is a female customer who said she bought it for a friend as a birthday present, and the other one is amazing. He is an online musician, Makino. Do you know Makino? The one who sings very well."

"Of course I know, we also broadcast live with him." Seeing the female store manager's eloquence, Lu Weiwei really couldn't bear to compare this with her.

Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, then continued to ask: "Are you sure that person must be Mu Ye?"

"Of course, it was only a week ago, and I even asked him for a group photo." Speaking of this, the female store manager quickly took out her mobile phone and clicked on her photo album.

Inside are some pictures of female store managers taking photos with people.

Officer Wang was also taken aback, and quickly asked, "Why do you have a group photo with so many people? And everyone is carrying your WG shopping bag in their hands."

"You don't know about that, officer?" Seeing Officer Wang's appearance of having never seen the world, the female store manager simply explained: "Everyone who comes to my house for consumption is either rich or expensive, and any one of them is a famous person. .”

"Among them are singers, rich kids, nouveau riche, whatever."

"As a store manager, I must understand their various occupations, know their specialties, and keep good customer information. That is our consistent practice for high-end brands."

"Not only that, but during holidays, we will also send a small gift to these customers who provide their addresses, which will help customers come to the store to buy back."

"Trendy people and rich people actually have a certain degree of loyalty to the brand. As long as the service is good, they will not worry about not having repeat customers."

"You really know how to do business." Hearing this, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but say, "It's said that making luxury fashion brands is quite profitable, and it seems to be true."

"Hehe, this female police officer, I think you have an extraordinary temperament. If you wear my clothes, the people chasing you may line up from the south of the city to the north of the city."

"Yes, you have started my business." Lu Weiwei was also defeated by the female store manager, and said directly: "It seems that you are really good at being a store manager. You can do business with everyone."

"It's also because the store manager thinks that Senior Sister Lu is pretty." Yuan Shasha on the side also joked.

The female store manager was taken aback for a moment, but fell into hesitation. She pointed at Yuan Shasha and said with some uncertainty:
"This female police officer, I seem to have seen you somewhere, it seems... It was at a new product launch event a few years ago, you seemed to be sitting in the guest seat, or... maybe you were a model?"

"Pfft!" Upon hearing what the female store manager said, Yuan Shasha laughed and said, "I was still studying a few years ago, how could I be a guest? Also a model? You don't think you want to do my business again, do you?"

"No, no." This time, the female store manager changed her joking way of speaking before, but said in a serious tone: "It's just... really similar, I remember the guests who were able to sit on the rostrum that day , there are only five people in total.”

"Among them, the president and vice president of the Asia-Pacific region of our WG occupy two seats, and there are two other celebrities. Only the girl who looks similar to you, no one knows her true identity."

"I was still joking with the manager of the Jiangbei store, saying that someone who can sit in this position should be either rich or expensive."

Glancing at Yuan Shasha, who was wearing a police uniform in front of her, the female store manager said unsurely: "But she was wearing a high-end dress at the time, which was somewhat different from your police uniform, but you two look so much alike, you two Could it be sisters?"

"How is it possible?" Yuan Shasha also gave a wry smile, and then explained: "You have said it all, people are either rich or expensive, and I am just a child from an ordinary family. How can I climb high? I am just a little policeman."

"Oh, that may be because my memory is not good. After all, it happened a few years ago." The female store manager said with hesitation.

Seeing that the female store manager was talking a bit wrongly, and started doing business with everyone, Gu Chen also reminded: "The store manager, the other woman who bought this shirt, when did she buy it?"

"The day before yesterday, I came here casually, and I thought this shirt was good, so I bought it." The female store manager said.

"What about the profession?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Just a teacher from a nearby elementary school. Her family should be quite rich. She drives a good car."

"Then can you provide me with her information?" Gu Chen asked again.

"This..." The female store manager was a little hesitant, but she reluctantly agreed: "That's fine, I'll find it for you."

Back at the cashier, the female store manager found a notebook from the drawer, and then told Gu Chen's phone number: "I only left her phone number and occupation, but she didn't leave the address, and said that if there is a gift , just give her a call."

"Because her family lives nearby, she can come and pick it up at any time. After all, many customers don't want to disclose too much information. Some people still leave the phone number of the housekeeper and nanny, and they all pay attention to privacy."

"Thank you very much for your cooperation." Gu Chen took a photo of the profile page with his mobile phone.

It can be said that the record work of the store manager is very detailed.

Below each set of styles, there are records of buyers. Although the completeness of the information varies, at least it is better than ordinary stores.

By the way, Gu Chen also took pictures of Muye's information, and then chatted with the store manager for a few words before preparing to leave.

Sitting back in the police car, Officer Wang was always depressed.

Gu Chen noticed it just now, but he was just investigating the case and didn't say anything.

At this moment, Police Officer Wang was driving, and Gu Chen, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, simply asked him: "What's wrong, Senior Brother Wang? Seeing that you are unhappy when you come out of the shop, who provoked you?"

"Hi!" Police Officer Wang sighed heavily, and said in puzzlement, "This female store manager, if you want to talk about doing business, you have nothing to say."

"But he introduced Gu Chen's style to you and gave you a discount. Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha both asked if they wanted to buy it, but she was the only one who ignored me. I wonder if she's blind? I'm not. Potential customers?"

"Pfft!" Hearing Officer Wang's remarks, Lu Weiwei who was sitting in the back row couldn't help laughing: "I said Old Wang, is this why you are angry?"

"Then what's the matter? It's too snobby to look down on people." Police Officer Wang looked unhappy.

Lu Weiwei laughed and said, "I said, Lao Wang, the store manager has seen a lot of rich people. You look at the price tag as soon as you enter the door, which shows that you care about the price."

"Generally, most of the consumers who come to WG are not short of money and don't care about these things, so when you look at the price tag and say that the seasonal products are still so expensive, you lose."

"Because you are not within the scope of the store manager's consideration of making a deal at all. He is a smart person. Whether he has money or not can be seen in many small details. Sometimes he is better than us as a policeman."
