The interrogation room was confused by Police Officer Wang's lecture, and Liu Jingru didn't know which method to use to clear herself up.
After a few seconds of silence, Liu Jingru raised her head and said, "Officer Wang, I didn't know Zhang Muzhi before, how can I get evidence for you?"
"Besides, what kind of diving equipment are you talking about, and what kind of woman wrapped in rice dumplings? It's not me at all, is it?"
"Although I went to these shops selling diving equipment, they were all for my colleagues to purchase rackets. If you don't believe me, you can investigate."
Liu Jingru is also very angry now, feeling that she has been greatly wronged.
Officer Wang glanced at Gu Chen. After a few seconds of thought, Gu Chen asked Liu Jingru again: "What is the name of the colleague who asked you to buy the racket?"
"Xu Xiaoli." Liu Jingru said: "A more enthusiastic older sister, oh, yes, that's the older sister I often tell you, the one who usually rubs her car after get off work."
"She is a very nice person and enthusiastic. Every time she rubs against her car, she feels embarrassed, so she asked me to help buy rackets that day, and I agreed."
Sniffing, Liu Jingru looked up at the crowd, and then said: "But why did I come to you, making me seem to be stepping on the spot?"
"Then this woman wrapped in rice dumplings is you?" Lu Weiwei also confirmed again and again.
"No." Liu Jingru replied loudly: "Of course it's not me."
"Okay." It felt like Liu Jingru was about to explode with anger, and Lu Weiwei also felt, did everyone make a mistake?
Or...coincidence?
But in everyone's opinion, Liu Jingru is currently the biggest suspect who meets the conditions for committing the crime.
But the key point is that the murderer's appearance cannot be seen clearly.
Gu Chen thought for a moment, and then asked again: "Liu Jingru, can you contact this eldest sister named Xu Xiaoli now, and come to our Furong branch?"
"If you can confirm what you said, then you can leave here."
"Of course." Liu Jingru didn't want to stay for a moment, and she cooperated very actively and said, "I'll call now and ask this big sister to come over."
...
...
30 minutes or so.
A tall, thin, middle-aged woman in professional attire walked to the corridor of the interrogation room in a hurry.
Seeing that Gu Chen and the others were standing at the door waiting for something, she hurried over and asked, "Officer Gu, are you looking for me?"
"You know me?" Gu Chen asked her.
The tall, thin middle-aged woman also grinned: "Are you kidding me? You, Police Officer Gu, can be a star policeman from the Furong Sub-bureau, and Bai Xiaolan's good friend. Who doesn't know you, Gu Chen?"
After straightening the backpack on her shoulders, the middle-aged, tall and thin woman asked again: "Just now, Liu Jingru from our TV station said that let me come to the police station and say that you have something to do with me?"
"That's right." Gu Chen nodded slightly, then gave way to a passage, stretched out his hand and said, "Come with us."
"Oh!" I don't know what Gu Chen asked himself to do here? The middle-aged tall and thin woman could only nod silently, and slowly followed behind everyone.
Everyone walked into the No. 2 interrogation room together. Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha also took their seats familiarly.
Looking at an empty chair on the opposite side, the tall and thin middle-aged woman knew that it was prepared for herself, and sat down quite cooperatively.
Seeing that Yuan Shasha had turned on the camera, Gu Chen said, "Then...let's start, name."
"Oh, my name is Xu Xiaoli." The middle-aged tall and thin woman said.
"Report your ID number." Gu Chen continued.
"The ID number is..."
According to Gu Chen's request, Xu Xiaoli informed Gu Chen of her personal information.
After registering the basic information, Gu Chen returned to the topic and asked, "I heard from Liu Jingru that you asked her to purchase table tennis rackets for the competition 5 days ago, right?"
"Ah?" Upon hearing Gu Chen's words, Liu Xiaoli was stunned.
She didn't seem to understand what Gu Chen meant at all.
She thought that Gu Chen called her here to ask about some work matters, but Gu Chen suddenly mentioned these personal matters, which made Xu Xiaoli suddenly a little at a loss.
After all, Liu Jingru couldn't tell these things on the phone, she only said that the police had something to do with Liu Xiaoli.
After a brief silence for a few seconds, Xu Xiaoli still nodded in agreement: "Yes, our Table Tennis Association is going to participate in a competition recently, and we need to use some designated brand rackets."
"And I was going to go shopping that day, but I had something to do at the temporary station and couldn't leave, so I thought Liu Jingru would have a rest that day, so I asked her to do it for me..."
Xu Xiaoli also recounted how she handed over this work to Liu Jingru.
He even took out his mobile phone and showed the leaflet of the Table Tennis Association in front of Gu Chen, letting Gu Chen check the relevant content.
Gu Chen also discovered that in the leaflet, there is indeed a requirement for a designated brand of racket.
Taking back the phone, Xu Xiaoli also smiled and said, "Officer Gu, you called me over to ask about this?"
"You... do you know that, as a producer, Bai Xiaolan has been busy with the Jiangnan sub-station of the FPV flying machine racing competition?"
After Gu Chen completed the records, he asked Xu Xiaoli about the competition.
Xu Xiaoli stared blankly, but soon laughed and said: "Of course, Xiaolan got a big sponsor when she became a producer for the first time, and the sponsor's father is the Yuan Group. My colleagues are envious and don't want it."
"Then do you know about the training arrangements for this FPV traversing machine racing competition, the Jiangnan sub-station?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Training arrangement?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Xu Xiaoli hesitated for a few seconds, then shook her head: "I don't really understand, after all, Bai Xiaolan is in charge of this project."
"And I'm from another department, so... I can only hear about it, but I don't know much about it."
"Okay." After Gu Chen wrote these records, he turned the pen with his right hand and continued to ask: "You don't know, but have you asked Liu Jingru about this?"
"what?"
"Just to ask you, have you asked Liu Jingru about the training arrangements for the FPV traversing machine racing competition?" Lu Weiwei on the side also reminded.
Xu Xiaoli laughed dryly, and said involuntarily, "I'll ask her a few casual questions, too."
"Because Liu Jingru has been very hard during this period, and often has to be busy and go home very late."
"But because I stopped by her house, Liu Jingru would ask me if I was at get off work every time before she got off work? If I was, she would take my car home."
"We are also on the road and will chat casually about work, so I will also casually ask her about the specific training situation of these clubs."
"What car do you drive?" Gu Chen suddenly raised his head and asked her.
"A buggy."
"Do you have a foreign license?" Gu Chen asked again.
Xu Xiaoli nodded silently: "That's right, because I worked in other places before, so I bought this car in other places, what's wrong?"
Feeling that Gu Chen's sharp eyes were staring at her, Xu Xiaoli felt uncomfortable.
Gu Chen was on Jiangnan TV, and Xu Xiaoli had seen her back several times, but Xu Xiaoli was still a little flustered when they looked at each other at such a close distance like today.
The main reason is that Gu Chen's eyes were too sharp during the interrogation, and when it seemed that no one dared to answer the question, they looked directly into his eyes.
Xu Xiaoli is no exception.
Gu Chen completed these records, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Do you know Zhang Muzhi?"
"Ah?" After Gu Chen said this, Xu Xiaoli was stunned again.
After a while, he shook his head and said in denial, "I don't know Zhang Muzhi, who is Zhang Muzhi?"
"Are you sure?" Gu Chen still stared at Xu Xiaoli without changing his face.
Xu Xiaoli lowered her tone and said weakly, "I'm sure, I really don't know Zhang Muzhi."
Seeing that Gu Chen recorded these, Xu Xiaoli asked Gu Chen again: "Officer Gu, I still have work in the afternoon. If there is no problem, can I leave now?"
"Okay." After Gu Chen recorded the handwritten notes, Yuan Shasha on the side also entered all the conversations into the computer.
Afterwards, Gu Chen handed the transcript form to Xu Xiaoli and said, "Sign here, and you can leave."
"Okay!" Feeling that Gu Chen was extremely cold today, Xu Xiaoli couldn't help but shudder in her heart.
But after signing her name, she slowly got up and walked towards the door.
However, Gu Chen found that Xu Xiaoli's legs were trembling involuntarily.
Watching Xu Xiaoli leave, Police Officer Wang came to Gu Chen's side and asked him curiously, "Gu Chen, do you think there is anything wrong with this Xu Xiaoli?"
"I don't know." Gu Chen shook his head and said, "If what she said is true, then these objective factors of Liu Jingru may really be just a coincidence."
"But Liu Jingru always takes Xu Xiaoli's car home after work these days."
"Objectively speaking, Xu Xiaoli can learn about the relevant training arrangements of major clubs through Liu Jingru."
"That is to say, Xu Xiaoli is suspected?" Yuan Shasha asked.
Gu Chen nodded slightly: "Well, after all, the timing of her purchase of these rackets is very delicate. I have seen that the payment date of the notice was issued 10 days ago, but why did she choose 5 days ago before asking Liu Jingru to help purchase? "
"If it is said that she learned about some internal work arrangements through some conversations with Liu Jingru on the way to send Liu Jingru home, then perhaps her procurement arrangements this time seem too deliberate."
"I think so too." Just as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei interrupted involuntarily:
"Think about it, the diving equipment purchased by the murderer 5 days ago, it is obvious that the murderer already knew the relevant locations of the major club competitions 5 days ago, and only the organizer Jiangnan TV Station knows this."
"So, the murderer may be inextricably linked with the insiders of the TV station."
"Even if it's a coincidence that Liu Jingru's frequent appearance in front of the diving equipment store is a coincidence, who made these coincidences? It's Xu Xiaoli, what does she want to do?"
After a pause, Lu Weiwei said again: "Besides, have you ever thought about it? She, Xu Xiaoli, can also take Liu Jingru home every day, ask Liu Jingru about the training situation of the major racing clubs, and make corresponding adjustments in time. "
"Yes." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Gu Chen also expressed his thoughts:
"I also think that this Xu Xiaoli is a bit weird. In fact, Xu Xiaoli also exists in the conditions that Liu Jingru meets for committing the crime."
"But there is one thing. The timing Xu Xiaoli arranged for Liu Jingru to make purchases was rather subtle. It happened to be 5 days ago, and I asked Bai Xiaolan to confirm the final Hufei site, which happened to be 5 days ago."
"Only the members of Bai Xiaolan's team know about this, and since Liu Jingru and Xu Xiaoli are very close, it's not surprising that Xu Xiaoli can get this information from Liu Jingru."
After a pause, seeing that everyone started to analyze according to their own thinking, Gu Chen continued:
"If this is the case, then obviously, based on the murderer's understanding of Zhang Muzhi, he must be aware of Zhang Muzhi's fondness for swimming."
"As for the delayed training arrangements at night, Liu Jingru can make her own decisions. This also objectively shows that many clubs will practice extra at night."
"In this way, Xu Xiaoli obviously knows about the additional training situation of Zhang Muzhi's Hangzhou Shadow Club."
"In this way, she can step on the spot in advance, and then according to Liu Jingru's work arrangement, she can keep abreast of the Hufei training arrangements of the major clubs at any time."
"In this way, Xu Xiaoli theoretically has the conditions to complete the crime, and her figure is also quite similar to that woman who bought diving equipment."
"Gu... Gu Chen, do you suspect that Xu Xiaoli is the murderer?" Listening to Gu Chen's analysis, Officer Wang suddenly felt dizzy.
You know, Gu Chen's current suspects are all focused on the staff of Jiangnan TV Station.
But after all, Jiangnan TV Station still has a lot of cooperation with the Furong branch.
Calling Liu Jingru for questioning has already made the relationship between everyone and Liu Jingru more delicate.
Now that Xu Xiaoli is called in for questioning again, does it feel like Bai Xiaolan is also called in for questioning?
In this way, wouldn't the leaders of Jiangnan TV station be offended?
After all, Police Officer Wang is an old comrade. He has to consider many things comprehensively.
Gu Chen also knew this very well, but he didn't say it to death, but said slowly: "I just doubt this Xu Xiaoli."
"Although Xu Xiaoli also has the conditions to commit crimes, but like Liu Jingru, what is their motive for killing?"
"If there is no motive for the murder, and they didn't know Zhang Muzhi before, then this kind of argument is also untenable. It is impossible for these two people to carefully plan all this for a person who has nothing to do with them before?"
After Gu Chen said this, the scene suddenly became quiet.
After a short silence for a few seconds, Yuan Shasha asked: "Brother Gu, you said last time that there were two people following that white car near the Jiangnan Lake competition area, right?"
"That's right." Hearing what Yuan Shasha said, Gu Chen also nodded and admitted: "There were indeed two people meeting at the time."
"That is to say, there is more than one murderer, at least one more is an accomplice." Yuan Shasha continued to remind.
Lu Weiwei suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, and the driver that Senior Brother Gu was following that day was obviously a man."
"However, the person who bought the diving equipment was a woman, so can we think that these two people are a man and a woman, and they conspired to kill Zhang Muzhi?"
"It's possible." Gu Chen also agreed with this statement, but said helplessly: "But, we can't even find out the woman who bought the diving equipment, let alone find out the whereabouts of the other man."
"Harmful!" Police Officer Wang sighed, crossed his hands behind his head, and couldn't help complaining:
"What kind of deep hatred does this murderer have with Zhang Muzhi? He wants to drown Zhang Muzhi in Jiangnan Lake?"
"The things that you Gu Chen analyzed before are indeed reasonable. The murderer must know the whereabouts of Zhang Muzhi in the major clubs, especially the Hangzhou Shadow Club, so that he can accurately murder Zhang Muzhi."
"But now, Liu Jingru and Xu Xiaoli, the two most suspected people, have no motive to kill, so it's very difficult."
"After all, if the two people didn't know Zhang Muzhi before, then no matter what our final investigation is, if they don't have a motive to kill, the murder is impossible."
Officer Wang's voice fell, and the scene became quiet again.
Everyone is overwhelmed by the current situation.
Originally, when we handled cases before, we could always find evidence based on some subtle clues.
But Zhang Muzhi's drowning death this time is a bit special, this is a foreign player, but if the murderer wants to murder Zhang Muzhi, he must know the whole competition training like the back of his hand.
To meet this condition, it must be the organizing committee, especially the organizer Jiangnan TV.
After all, the choice of the venue all came from Bai Xiaolan's planning.
But everyone knew Bai Xiaolan that she was busy with work every day, and there was no evidence that she was at the scene of the crime.
The most likely Liu Jingru and Xu Xiaoli seem to have met the prerequisites, but they both deny that they knew Zhang Muzhi before.
In this way, the final link has to be interrupted again.
"Let's release Liu Jingru first, and let her go back to work. After all, the Jiangnan branch of the FPV racing competition is very important, and our Furong sub-bureau representative team has to participate on behalf of the Jiangnan police force."
"Moreover, this is also the first time that Bai Xiaolan has formed a team to operate a project as a producer."
"If Bai Xiaolan's project is messed up, Yuan's Group, the funder behind her, will also be upset."
After a pause, Gu Chen shook his head helplessly: "Although the investigation is interrupted now, Liu Jingru must go back to work quickly so that the whole project can be put into operation."
Here, Gu Chen was still thinking, and quickly put Liu Jingru back in the No. 1 interrogation room next door, but his cell phone rang suddenly.
Gu Chen looked down and saw that the caller was Bai Xiaolan.
Lu Weiwei also glanced at her, and immediately frowned slightly, and hurriedly said: "No, after Xu Xiaoli left, she must have called Bai Xiaolan. I guess Bai Xiaolan must be asking for someone from you now."
"The one who should come will always come." Gu Chen took a deep breath and tried to calm down, then picked up the phone and swiped the answer button.
"Small……"
"Gu Chen, I heard that you called Liu Jingru to your Furong branch office. Is there such a thing?"
Before Gu Chen could speak, Bai Xiaolan on the other side asked anxiously.
Gu Chen asked: "That's right, she was asked to come over and cooperate with the investigation."
"Gu Chen, the training ground on the Jiangnan Lake side is now a mess. There is no one to connect with the training of the major clubs. You also know that I am short of people. Now you call Liu Jingru away. You let what should I do?"
"Xiaolan." Seeing that Bai Xiaolan was in a hurry, Gu Chen also said earnestly: "You also know that Zhang Muzhi, the captain of the Hangzhou Shadow Club, drowned. This matter has a great impact on the entire FPV traversing machine racing competition. Big."
"What I have to do now is to bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible."
"Murderer? Catch him?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Bai Xiaolan was also at a loss, and hurriedly said:
"Gu Chen, did you make a mistake? Didn't Zhang Muzhi accidentally drown and die? Why did another murderer come out again? What's going on here?"
"Xiaolan, I can't explain these two sentences clearly, so I'll make a long story short." Gu Chen was also quite helpless, and didn't have time to explain too much to Bai Xiaolan, so he focused on the point:
"During the autopsy on Zhang Muzhi, we discovered that Zhang Muzhi's death was strange. It is unlikely that he drowned accidentally, but was dragged into the bottom of the water by a murderer wearing professional diving equipment."
"Let the defenseless Zhang Muzhi drown in the water in an instant."
"Why...how did this happen?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Bai Xiaolan was stunned on the spot.
The other end of the phone was also quiet for a few seconds, and then came another question from Bai Xiaolan:
"Then Gu Chen, you said that Zhang Muzhi was murdered, is there any evidence for that?"
"Yes, I have some information, including the model of diving equipment, but there are some clues that cannot be confirmed, so I called Liu Jingru to cooperate with the investigation."
"So that's the case?" Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Bai Xiaolan was also very nervous, so she asked again:
"Then... can Liu Jingru end it? The staff at the Jiangnanhuhufei Stadium are all on the phone, and Liu Jingru is doing a lot of work."
"Now that Liu Jingru is not here, they all call me, but I don't understand the situation here, so I can't help them solve it."
With a heavy sigh, Bai Xiaolan also said helplessly: "So, Gu Chen, can you end here? If yes, can Liu Jingru answer the phone?"
"Okay, our side is basically over, you wait, Liu Jingru is in the next room, I'll give her the phone."
Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha winked at Lu Weiwei, and everyone immediately understood, packed up their things, and prepared to evacuate.
Gu Chen also took the mobile phone and directly opened the door of the No. 1 interrogation room.
At this moment, Liu Jingru was lying there quietly, in a daze.
Gu Chen opened the door, Liu Jingru subconsciously raised her head and glanced at Gu Chen.
"It's Bai Xiaolan's call." Gu Chen handed over the phone directly.
Liu Jingru took the mobile phone, her lips curled up in an instant, her eyes were red, and she complained to Bai Xiaolan with aggrieved tears: "Miss Xiaolan, woo woo."
"What... what's wrong with this? Jingru, why are you crying?"
Bai Xiaolan on the phone was also confused by Liu Jingru.
Liu Jingru sniffed, and cried aggrievedly: "Senior Gu Chen bullied me."
"Gu Chen bullied you?" Hearing Liu Jingru's words, Bai Xiaolan became even more confused in an instant, and hurriedly asked:
"No way? Why is Gu Chen bullying you?"
"He said I was a murderer, woo hoo." With Bai Xiaolan's backing at this moment, Liu Jingru also began to complain with sobs.
Gu Chen squeezed his hands when he heard the words, and quickly explained: "We are following the procedure. This is a normal investigation, and we didn't say you are the murderer. We are just asking you to understand the relevant situation. Don't get me wrong."
"He said it." Regardless of Gu Chen's explanation, Liu Jingru felt that the enmity had become serious, and she didn't care about anything, and complained to Bai Xiaolan first.
Seeing Liu Jingru crying on the phone, Bai Xiaolan hurriedly comforted her: "Jingru, don't cry yet, Gu Chen has always handled cases fairly, and he will not justly wrong anyone."
After thinking about it, Bai Xiaolan said again: "How about this, you give the phone to Gu Chen first."
"Yeah." Sniffing, Liu Jingru, who looked aggrieved, also choked up, then shook her hand and handed the phone to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen, who took the phone, quickly explained: "Xiaolan, this is all a misunderstanding, I didn't..."
"I know you, Gu Chen, didn't wrong anyone? I don't know how you, Gu Chen handled the case? It's an investigation, you have to ask clearly about the situation, and no one who is suspected can be let go."
Before Gu Chen could finish speaking, Bai Xiaolan also understood.
Gu Chen sighed, and said with relief: "You still understand me."
"Gu Chen." Just as Gu Chen finished speaking, Bai Xiaolan on the phone explained, "But then again, just because I understand you, doesn't mean that Liu Jingru can understand you."
"She has just started working and is still in the middle of an internship. I feel a little sorry for entrusting her with such an important and high-intensity docking task."
"After all, I don't have anyone in my hands, and Liu Jingru is timid, and you brought her to the Furong sub-bureau for investigation. She is a little girl, and she must be scared. If you suspect that she is the murderer, then she will not be wronged." Well?"
With a faint sigh, Bai Xiaolan said helplessly, "So, Gu Chen, although it wasn't your fault, I think you should make a mistake with her, right?"
"After all, Liu Jingru is in charge of your next match training and matchmaking work. If you make her feel wronged, then you..."
"I understand." Hearing Bai Xiaolan's words, Gu Chen also felt quite depressed.
The investigation of the clues of the case came here, but it was suddenly interrupted.
Now I have to make amends to Liu Jingru.
But think about it, aren't men's minds stretched by grievances? After thinking about it, he felt relieved, and continued:
"How about this, Xiaolan, I'll have someone send Liu Jingru back to the Jiangnanhuhufei training ground first, and if there is something that needs Liu Jingru's cooperation in the investigation, I'll talk about it later, do you think it's okay?"
"Okay, as long as I promise to send this aunt back to work, I can do whatever..."
Here, Bai Xiaolan was half-talking, and there were people around asking about the situation.
For a while, Bai Xiaolan was so busy that she hurriedly said, "I'm too busy here, Gu Chen, so I'll leave it to you. If there's any problem, can we talk about it after we finish the FPV traversing machine racing competition?"
"Can."
"That's it, I have a lot of things at hand now, so I'll hang up first."
"it is good……"
As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, there was a "beep beep" hang-up sound from the other end of the phone.
Looking down at Liu Jingru who was sitting on the interrogation chair, her eyes were still red at the moment, sniffing her nose from time to time, Gu Chen also had a headache.
He hurriedly fumbled in his pocket, handed a pack of napkins to him, and said, "Wipe your face, we didn't say you were the murderer, we were just investigating."
Liu Jingru choked up a sob, and after taking Gu Chen's tissue, she couldn't help but wet the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then said: "You speak fiercely, it's different from usual."
"Is there?" Feeling inexplicable, Gu Chen reflected on himself for a moment, and then quickly explained:
"Maybe we were too aggressive just now, but we have been interrogating suspects here for a long time, so as soon as we enter the interrogation room, we will naturally enter the state."
"If you speak without confidence, you won't be able to suppress these suspects, especially these people have different personalities. Many of them are very arrogant. If you speak softly, it will be impossible for these people to confess honestly."
After a pause, seeing that Liu Jingru was looking up at him, Gu Chen said earnestly, "So, I'm asking you here, it's hard for me to communicate as usual, but I've already kept my tone to the lowest."
"Then can I go?" Liu Jingru seemed to have listened, but still asked.
"Okay, I will ask my colleague to take you to the Jiangnan Lake training ground later. We apologize for delaying your work."
After a brief pause for a few seconds, Gu Chen said again: "However, if the case requires your cooperation in the investigation, we will still bring you here until the murderer is apprehended."
"Let's talk about it later." Liu Jingru wanted to leave here early, so she got up and went outside.
Lu Weiwei, who was staying at the door, returned the mobile phone wrapped in a transparent evidence collection bag to Liu Jingru, and said, "Your mobile phone."
"Thank you." Liu Jingru said coldly, and walked outside.
When police officer Wang saw this, he also reminded him: "Liu Jingru, I will ask my colleagues in our department to send you off. You can wait downstairs."
"No need, I'll take a taxi myself." After the words fell, Liu Jingru disappeared around the corner.
Afterwards, everyone lay on the balcony of the corridor and watched Liu Jingru take a taxi at the gate of the Furong branch and leave.
Yuan Shasha turned around and leaned against the railing of the corridor, she also sighed and said, "Damn, this Liu Jingru has quite a temper?"
"We offended her, wouldn't she wear shoes for us? After all, we have to rely on her, Liu Jingru, for our daily training arrangements."
"No, it should be just out of anger." Gu Chen looked at the direction Liu Jingru was going away, and said involuntarily:
"My school girl is timid, I can't bear to be wronged, and I just started working, so I can't be cruel."
"We were in the interrogation room just now, and the conversation with her was a bit harsh. At that moment, she probably felt that it was a little wronged that so many of us were targeting her."
"Then Junior Brother Gu, do you think Liu Jingru is lying?" As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei made a hypothesis.
Gu Chen hesitated for a few seconds, and then said: "Theoretically, before the suspect is found, anyone is suspected of lying."
"After all, whether Liu Jingru knew Zhang Muzhi before, this needs further investigation."
"But I feel that this Liu Jingru is like a girl next door, pure and kind. If you have to associate her with the murderer, I feel a little too much."
Police officer Wang held the thermos cup in his hand, couldn't help but took a sip of wolfberry tea, and then said:
"These days, after getting in touch with Liu Jingru, I feel that this is a hardworking little bee. She is really the kind of girl who works hard, works hard and is motivated."
"It's really a nanny-like care to work with her these days. She helps us arrange everything properly and is very careful."
"But if, such a good girl, suddenly you tell me that she is the murderer, the man behind the murder of Zhang Muzhi, tsk tsk, to be honest, this is too cruel, I can't accept it."
"That's right. Although Liu Jingru is indeed suspected in many ways, I can't bear to treat her as a murderer."
"Didn't you figure it out already?" Seeing that everyone was helping Liu Jingru, Gu Chen also let out a long sigh, and said helplessly:
"Liu Jingru is indeed a warm-hearted girl. In order to help her colleagues purchase, she ran around and visited all the stores selling diving equipment."
"It can only be said that this is an oolong incident, but what is worthy of vigilance is that the behavior of this woman named Xu Xiaoli is suspicious."
"You suspect that Xu Xiaoli is the real murderer?" Lu Weiwei asked.
Gu Chen nodded silently, and explained: "Yes, I do have some doubts about her."
"First of all, she has been in frequent contact with Liu Jingru during this period, and she knows some of Liu Jingru's daily work very well."
"Secondly, the purchasing notice from their Table Tennis Association was issued 10 days ago, but she arranged the purchasing work 5 days ago and asked Liu Jingru to help."
"And this period of time happened to be the time when Bai Xiaolan finalized the scene of the Hufei competition. This kind of coincidence is too delicate."
"Xu Xiaoli?" Officer Wang murmured after hearing Gu Chen's words, "If that's the case, and if Xu Xiaoli is really the murderer, then wouldn't Liu Jingru become her shield? She became a tool for her subordinates?"
"Very likely." Gu Chen snapped his fingers, walked back and forth in front of the crowd, and said analytically:
"Maybe you didn't pay attention when Xu Xiaoli left."
"Note...pay attention to what?" Yuan Shasha said she didn't understand.
Gu Chen didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "When I asked Xu Xiaoli to leave the No. 2 interrogation room, I found that her legs were shaking when she was walking."
"Trembling? It's not enough?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei also said with a smile:
"When we talked to Xu Xiaoli in the interrogation room, the atmosphere was quite harmonious. I didn't feel that Xu Xiaoli was very scared? Walking trembling? Not so much."
"Yes." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Police Officer Wang couldn't help but say, "I haven't done anything wrong, and it's not like my legs trembled when I walked after the questioning. Could it be true? Do you have ghosts in your heart?"
Officer Wang's voice fell, while Gu Chen on the other side put his arms around his chest and leaned against the wall opposite the corridor, analyzing and saying:
"We have also interrogated many prisoners in the interrogation room. For this kind of people with trembling legs, some of them really have ghosts in their hearts. We questioned them with a guilty conscience, so when they walk, their legs tremble."
"There are also some who are very timid in themselves, so they were taken to the interrogation room for questioning. In such a closed environment, the attention will be highly concentrated."
"But once the interrogation is over, the tense atmosphere suddenly relaxes, which will cause the muscles not to be relieved quickly from the tense state, so the legs will have an overreaction of trembling."
"Well, does Xu Xiaoli belong to the latter?" Lu Weiwei asked.
Gu Chen shook his head: "I don't know, maybe only she knows."
"But one thing worth noting is that even for a timid girl like Liu Jingru, she has been wronged for a long time in the interrogation room, and she didn't show signs of trembling when she left."
"You know, Liu Jingru cried before during the interrogation, and her legs didn't even tremble."
"But Xu Xiaoli, who was calm and calm when communicating with us, left her legs shaking violently. This is too much of a contrast."
Hearing what Gu Chen said, everyone started to pay attention.
Lu Weiwei also nodded silently, and said a little puzzled: "Although the overreactions of the two legs are different, there is no harm without comparison."
"I think this Xu Xiaoli is also an old employee who has been working for a long time, so she won't be more nervous than an intern who just started working?"
"As Junior Brother Gu said just now, a timid and special girl like Liu Jingru walked out of the interrogation room and everything was normal, but a veteran at work, why did she show signs of trembling?"
"Or, what is she afraid of?"
"Hearing what you said, hey, I really feel that there is something wrong with Xu Xiaoli." Police Officer Wang suddenly had an idea based on what Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei said, and hurriedly said:
"First of all, she meets all the same crime conditions as Liu Jingru, and knows the training time between major clubs like the back of the hand."
"Secondly, Liu Jingru appeared on the day the murderer bought diving equipment, went to buy a designated racket, and walked around almost all the stores that sold diving equipment."
"But who caused all this? Xu Xiaoli, she said she didn't know Zhang Muzhi. I don't believe it. We'd better shift the focus of the investigation from Liu Jingru to Xu Xiaoli. Maybe we can make a breakthrough."
"How about it." Gu Chen looked up at the sky, thought for a few seconds, and then said:
"Let Senior Brother He investigate all of Xu Xiaoli's whereabouts in the last 10 days or so, and see what she's been up to these days?"
"Also, hurry up and contact Gao Chuanfeng from the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau to see if the family members of the deceased Zhang Muzhi have come? If you have already arrived in Jiangnan City, let them arrange a time as soon as possible so that we can meet Zhang Muzhi's family members."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen tried to calm down, and then said: "I seem to know now, what kind of grievances and grievances are behind Zhang Muzhi? How did he let himself fall into the disaster of killing himself? This must be done. Find out as soon as possible."
...
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
The interrogation room was confused by Police Officer Wang's lecture, and Liu Jingru didn't know which method to use to clear herself up.
After a few seconds of silence, Liu Jingru raised her head and said, "Officer Wang, I didn't know Zhang Muzhi before, how can I get evidence for you?"
"Besides, what kind of diving equipment are you talking about, and what kind of woman wrapped in rice dumplings? It's not me at all, is it?"
"Although I went to these shops selling diving equipment, they were all for my colleagues to purchase rackets. If you don't believe me, you can investigate."
Liu Jingru is also very angry now, feeling that she has been greatly wronged.
Officer Wang glanced at Gu Chen. After a few seconds of thought, Gu Chen asked Liu Jingru again: "What is the name of the colleague who asked you to buy the racket?"
"Xu Xiaoli." Liu Jingru said: "A more enthusiastic older sister, oh, yes, that's the older sister I often tell you, the one who usually rubs her car after get off work."
"She is a very nice person and enthusiastic. Every time she rubs against her car, she feels embarrassed, so she asked me to help buy rackets that day, and I agreed."
Sniffing, Liu Jingru looked up at the crowd, and then said: "But why did I come to you, making me seem to be stepping on the spot?"
"Then this woman wrapped in rice dumplings is you?" Lu Weiwei also confirmed again and again.
"No." Liu Jingru replied loudly: "Of course it's not me."
"Okay." It felt like Liu Jingru was about to explode with anger, and Lu Weiwei also felt, did everyone make a mistake?
Or...coincidence?
But in everyone's opinion, Liu Jingru is currently the biggest suspect who meets the conditions for committing the crime.
But the key point is that the murderer's appearance cannot be seen clearly.
Gu Chen thought for a moment, and then asked again: "Liu Jingru, can you contact this eldest sister named Xu Xiaoli now, and come to our Furong branch?"
"If you can confirm what you said, then you can leave here."
"Of course." Liu Jingru didn't want to stay for a moment, and she cooperated very actively and said, "I'll call now and ask this big sister to come over."
...
...
30 minutes or so.
A tall, thin, middle-aged woman in professional attire walked to the corridor of the interrogation room in a hurry.
Seeing that Gu Chen and the others were standing at the door waiting for something, she hurried over and asked, "Officer Gu, are you looking for me?"
"You know me?" Gu Chen asked her.
The tall, thin middle-aged woman also grinned: "Are you kidding me? You, Police Officer Gu, can be a star policeman from the Furong Sub-bureau, and Bai Xiaolan's good friend. Who doesn't know you, Gu Chen?"
After straightening the backpack on her shoulders, the middle-aged, tall and thin woman asked again: "Just now, Liu Jingru from our TV station said that let me come to the police station and say that you have something to do with me?"
"That's right." Gu Chen nodded slightly, then gave way to a passage, stretched out his hand and said, "Come with us."
"Oh!" I don't know what Gu Chen asked himself to do here? The middle-aged tall and thin woman could only nod silently, and slowly followed behind everyone.
Everyone walked into the No. 2 interrogation room together. Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha also took their seats familiarly.
Looking at an empty chair on the opposite side, the tall and thin middle-aged woman knew that it was prepared for herself, and sat down quite cooperatively.
Seeing that Yuan Shasha had turned on the camera, Gu Chen said, "Then...let's start, name."
"Oh, my name is Xu Xiaoli." The middle-aged tall and thin woman said.
"Report your ID number." Gu Chen continued.
"The ID number is..."
According to Gu Chen's request, Xu Xiaoli informed Gu Chen of her personal information.
After registering the basic information, Gu Chen returned to the topic and asked, "I heard from Liu Jingru that you asked her to purchase table tennis rackets for the competition 5 days ago, right?"
"Ah?" Upon hearing Gu Chen's words, Liu Xiaoli was stunned.
She didn't seem to understand what Gu Chen meant at all.
She thought that Gu Chen called her here to ask about some work matters, but Gu Chen suddenly mentioned these personal matters, which made Xu Xiaoli suddenly a little at a loss.
After all, Liu Jingru couldn't tell these things on the phone, she only said that the police had something to do with Liu Xiaoli.
After a brief silence for a few seconds, Xu Xiaoli still nodded in agreement: "Yes, our Table Tennis Association is going to participate in a competition recently, and we need to use some designated brand rackets."
"And I was going to go shopping that day, but I had something to do at the temporary station and couldn't leave, so I thought Liu Jingru would have a rest that day, so I asked her to do it for me..."
Xu Xiaoli also recounted how she handed over this work to Liu Jingru.
He even took out his mobile phone and showed the leaflet of the Table Tennis Association in front of Gu Chen, letting Gu Chen check the relevant content.
Gu Chen also discovered that in the leaflet, there is indeed a requirement for a designated brand of racket.
Taking back the phone, Xu Xiaoli also smiled and said, "Officer Gu, you called me over to ask about this?"
"You... do you know that, as a producer, Bai Xiaolan has been busy with the Jiangnan sub-station of the FPV flying machine racing competition?"
After Gu Chen completed the records, he asked Xu Xiaoli about the competition.
Xu Xiaoli stared blankly, but soon laughed and said: "Of course, Xiaolan got a big sponsor when she became a producer for the first time, and the sponsor's father is the Yuan Group. My colleagues are envious and don't want it."
"Then do you know about the training arrangements for this FPV traversing machine racing competition, the Jiangnan sub-station?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Training arrangement?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Xu Xiaoli hesitated for a few seconds, then shook her head: "I don't really understand, after all, Bai Xiaolan is in charge of this project."
"And I'm from another department, so... I can only hear about it, but I don't know much about it."
"Okay." After Gu Chen wrote these records, he turned the pen with his right hand and continued to ask: "You don't know, but have you asked Liu Jingru about this?"
"what?"
"Just to ask you, have you asked Liu Jingru about the training arrangements for the FPV traversing machine racing competition?" Lu Weiwei on the side also reminded.
Xu Xiaoli laughed dryly, and said involuntarily, "I'll ask her a few casual questions, too."
"Because Liu Jingru has been very hard during this period, and often has to be busy and go home very late."
"But because I stopped by her house, Liu Jingru would ask me if I was at get off work every time before she got off work? If I was, she would take my car home."
"We are also on the road and will chat casually about work, so I will also casually ask her about the specific training situation of these clubs."
"What car do you drive?" Gu Chen suddenly raised his head and asked her.
"A buggy."
"Do you have a foreign license?" Gu Chen asked again.
Xu Xiaoli nodded silently: "That's right, because I worked in other places before, so I bought this car in other places, what's wrong?"
Feeling that Gu Chen's sharp eyes were staring at her, Xu Xiaoli felt uncomfortable.
Gu Chen was on Jiangnan TV, and Xu Xiaoli had seen her back several times, but Xu Xiaoli was still a little flustered when they looked at each other at such a close distance like today.
The main reason is that Gu Chen's eyes were too sharp during the interrogation, and when it seemed that no one dared to answer the question, they looked directly into his eyes.
Xu Xiaoli is no exception.
Gu Chen completed these records, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Do you know Zhang Muzhi?"
"Ah?" After Gu Chen said this, Xu Xiaoli was stunned again.
After a while, he shook his head and said in denial, "I don't know Zhang Muzhi, who is Zhang Muzhi?"
"Are you sure?" Gu Chen still stared at Xu Xiaoli without changing his face.
Xu Xiaoli lowered her tone and said weakly, "I'm sure, I really don't know Zhang Muzhi."
Seeing that Gu Chen recorded these, Xu Xiaoli asked Gu Chen again: "Officer Gu, I still have work in the afternoon. If there is no problem, can I leave now?"
"Okay." After Gu Chen recorded the handwritten notes, Yuan Shasha on the side also entered all the conversations into the computer.
Afterwards, Gu Chen handed the transcript form to Xu Xiaoli and said, "Sign here, and you can leave."
"Okay!" Feeling that Gu Chen was extremely cold today, Xu Xiaoli couldn't help but shudder in her heart.
But after signing her name, she slowly got up and walked towards the door.
However, Gu Chen found that Xu Xiaoli's legs were trembling involuntarily.
Watching Xu Xiaoli leave, Police Officer Wang came to Gu Chen's side and asked him curiously, "Gu Chen, do you think there is anything wrong with this Xu Xiaoli?"
"I don't know." Gu Chen shook his head and said, "If what she said is true, then these objective factors of Liu Jingru may really be just a coincidence."
"But Liu Jingru always takes Xu Xiaoli's car home after work these days."
"Objectively speaking, Xu Xiaoli can learn about the relevant training arrangements of major clubs through Liu Jingru."
"That is to say, Xu Xiaoli is suspected?" Yuan Shasha asked.
Gu Chen nodded slightly: "Well, after all, the timing of her purchase of these rackets is very delicate. I have seen that the payment date of the notice was issued 10 days ago, but why did she choose 5 days ago before asking Liu Jingru to help purchase? "
"If it is said that she learned about some internal work arrangements through some conversations with Liu Jingru on the way to send Liu Jingru home, then perhaps her procurement arrangements this time seem too deliberate."
"I think so too." Just as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei interrupted involuntarily:
"Think about it, the diving equipment purchased by the murderer 5 days ago, it is obvious that the murderer already knew the relevant locations of the major club competitions 5 days ago, and only the organizer Jiangnan TV Station knows this."
"So, the murderer may be inextricably linked with the insiders of the TV station."
"Even if it's a coincidence that Liu Jingru's frequent appearance in front of the diving equipment store is a coincidence, who made these coincidences? It's Xu Xiaoli, what does she want to do?"
After a pause, Lu Weiwei said again: "Besides, have you ever thought about it? She, Xu Xiaoli, can also take Liu Jingru home every day, ask Liu Jingru about the training situation of the major racing clubs, and make corresponding adjustments in time. "
"Yes." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Gu Chen also expressed his thoughts:
"I also think that this Xu Xiaoli is a bit weird. In fact, Xu Xiaoli also exists in the conditions that Liu Jingru meets for committing the crime."
"But there is one thing. The timing Xu Xiaoli arranged for Liu Jingru to make purchases was rather subtle. It happened to be 5 days ago, and I asked Bai Xiaolan to confirm the final Hufei site, which happened to be 5 days ago."
"Only the members of Bai Xiaolan's team know about this, and since Liu Jingru and Xu Xiaoli are very close, it's not surprising that Xu Xiaoli can get this information from Liu Jingru."
After a pause, seeing that everyone started to analyze according to their own thinking, Gu Chen continued:
"If this is the case, then obviously, based on the murderer's understanding of Zhang Muzhi, he must be aware of Zhang Muzhi's fondness for swimming."
"As for the delayed training arrangements at night, Liu Jingru can make her own decisions. This also objectively shows that many clubs will practice extra at night."
"In this way, Xu Xiaoli obviously knows about the additional training situation of Zhang Muzhi's Hangzhou Shadow Club."
"In this way, she can step on the spot in advance, and then according to Liu Jingru's work arrangement, she can keep abreast of the Hufei training arrangements of the major clubs at any time."
"In this way, Xu Xiaoli theoretically has the conditions to complete the crime, and her figure is also quite similar to that woman who bought diving equipment."
"Gu... Gu Chen, do you suspect that Xu Xiaoli is the murderer?" Listening to Gu Chen's analysis, Officer Wang suddenly felt dizzy.
You know, Gu Chen's current suspects are all focused on the staff of Jiangnan TV Station.
But after all, Jiangnan TV Station still has a lot of cooperation with the Furong branch.
Calling Liu Jingru for questioning has already made the relationship between everyone and Liu Jingru more delicate.
Now that Xu Xiaoli is called in for questioning again, does it feel like Bai Xiaolan is also called in for questioning?
In this way, wouldn't the leaders of Jiangnan TV station be offended?
After all, Police Officer Wang is an old comrade. He has to consider many things comprehensively.
Gu Chen also knew this very well, but he didn't say it to death, but said slowly: "I just doubt this Xu Xiaoli."
"Although Xu Xiaoli also has the conditions to commit crimes, but like Liu Jingru, what is their motive for killing?"
"If there is no motive for the murder, and they didn't know Zhang Muzhi before, then this kind of argument is also untenable. It is impossible for these two people to carefully plan all this for a person who has nothing to do with them before?"
After Gu Chen said this, the scene suddenly became quiet.
After a short silence for a few seconds, Yuan Shasha asked: "Brother Gu, you said last time that there were two people following that white car near the Jiangnan Lake competition area, right?"
"That's right." Hearing what Yuan Shasha said, Gu Chen also nodded and admitted: "There were indeed two people meeting at the time."
"That is to say, there is more than one murderer, at least one more is an accomplice." Yuan Shasha continued to remind.
Lu Weiwei suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, and the driver that Senior Brother Gu was following that day was obviously a man."
"However, the person who bought the diving equipment was a woman, so can we think that these two people are a man and a woman, and they conspired to kill Zhang Muzhi?"
"It's possible." Gu Chen also agreed with this statement, but said helplessly: "But, we can't even find out the woman who bought the diving equipment, let alone find out the whereabouts of the other man."
"Harmful!" Police Officer Wang sighed, crossed his hands behind his head, and couldn't help complaining:
"What kind of deep hatred does this murderer have with Zhang Muzhi? He wants to drown Zhang Muzhi in Jiangnan Lake?"
"The things that you Gu Chen analyzed before are indeed reasonable. The murderer must know the whereabouts of Zhang Muzhi in the major clubs, especially the Hangzhou Shadow Club, so that he can accurately murder Zhang Muzhi."
"But now, Liu Jingru and Xu Xiaoli, the two most suspected people, have no motive to kill, so it's very difficult."
"After all, if the two people didn't know Zhang Muzhi before, then no matter what our final investigation is, if they don't have a motive to kill, the murder is impossible."
Officer Wang's voice fell, and the scene became quiet again.
Everyone is overwhelmed by the current situation.
Originally, when we handled cases before, we could always find evidence based on some subtle clues.
But Zhang Muzhi's drowning death this time is a bit special, this is a foreign player, but if the murderer wants to murder Zhang Muzhi, he must know the whole competition training like the back of his hand.
To meet this condition, it must be the organizing committee, especially the organizer Jiangnan TV.
After all, the choice of the venue all came from Bai Xiaolan's planning.
But everyone knew Bai Xiaolan that she was busy with work every day, and there was no evidence that she was at the scene of the crime.
The most likely Liu Jingru and Xu Xiaoli seem to have met the prerequisites, but they both deny that they knew Zhang Muzhi before.
In this way, the final link has to be interrupted again.
"Let's release Liu Jingru first, and let her go back to work. After all, the Jiangnan branch of the FPV racing competition is very important, and our Furong sub-bureau representative team has to participate on behalf of the Jiangnan police force."
"Moreover, this is also the first time that Bai Xiaolan has formed a team to operate a project as a producer."
"If Bai Xiaolan's project is messed up, Yuan's Group, the funder behind her, will also be upset."
After a pause, Gu Chen shook his head helplessly: "Although the investigation is interrupted now, Liu Jingru must go back to work quickly so that the whole project can be put into operation."
Here, Gu Chen was still thinking, and quickly put Liu Jingru back in the No. 1 interrogation room next door, but his cell phone rang suddenly.
Gu Chen looked down and saw that the caller was Bai Xiaolan.
Lu Weiwei also glanced at her, and immediately frowned slightly, and hurriedly said: "No, after Xu Xiaoli left, she must have called Bai Xiaolan. I guess Bai Xiaolan must be asking for someone from you now."
"The one who should come will always come." Gu Chen took a deep breath and tried to calm down, then picked up the phone and swiped the answer button.
"Small……"
"Gu Chen, I heard that you called Liu Jingru to your Furong branch office. Is there such a thing?"
Before Gu Chen could speak, Bai Xiaolan on the other side asked anxiously.
Gu Chen asked: "That's right, she was asked to come over and cooperate with the investigation."
"Gu Chen, the training ground on the Jiangnan Lake side is now a mess. There is no one to connect with the training of the major clubs. You also know that I am short of people. Now you call Liu Jingru away. You let what should I do?"
"Xiaolan." Seeing that Bai Xiaolan was in a hurry, Gu Chen also said earnestly: "You also know that Zhang Muzhi, the captain of the Hangzhou Shadow Club, drowned. This matter has a great impact on the entire FPV traversing machine racing competition. Big."
"What I have to do now is to bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible."
"Murderer? Catch him?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Bai Xiaolan was also at a loss, and hurriedly said:
"Gu Chen, did you make a mistake? Didn't Zhang Muzhi accidentally drown and die? Why did another murderer come out again? What's going on here?"
"Xiaolan, I can't explain these two sentences clearly, so I'll make a long story short." Gu Chen was also quite helpless, and didn't have time to explain too much to Bai Xiaolan, so he focused on the point:
"During the autopsy on Zhang Muzhi, we discovered that Zhang Muzhi's death was strange. It is unlikely that he drowned accidentally, but was dragged into the bottom of the water by a murderer wearing professional diving equipment."
"Let the defenseless Zhang Muzhi drown in the water in an instant."
"Why...how did this happen?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Bai Xiaolan was stunned on the spot.
The other end of the phone was also quiet for a few seconds, and then came another question from Bai Xiaolan:
"Then Gu Chen, you said that Zhang Muzhi was murdered, is there any evidence for that?"
"Yes, I have some information, including the model of diving equipment, but there are some clues that cannot be confirmed, so I called Liu Jingru to cooperate with the investigation."
"So that's the case?" Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Bai Xiaolan was also very nervous, so she asked again:
"Then... can Liu Jingru end it? The staff at the Jiangnanhuhufei Stadium are all on the phone, and Liu Jingru is doing a lot of work."
"Now that Liu Jingru is not here, they all call me, but I don't understand the situation here, so I can't help them solve it."
With a heavy sigh, Bai Xiaolan also said helplessly: "So, Gu Chen, can you end here? If yes, can Liu Jingru answer the phone?"
"Okay, our side is basically over, you wait, Liu Jingru is in the next room, I'll give her the phone."
Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha winked at Lu Weiwei, and everyone immediately understood, packed up their things, and prepared to evacuate.
Gu Chen also took the mobile phone and directly opened the door of the No. 1 interrogation room.
At this moment, Liu Jingru was lying there quietly, in a daze.
Gu Chen opened the door, Liu Jingru subconsciously raised her head and glanced at Gu Chen.
"It's Bai Xiaolan's call." Gu Chen handed over the phone directly.
Liu Jingru took the mobile phone, her lips curled up in an instant, her eyes were red, and she complained to Bai Xiaolan with aggrieved tears: "Miss Xiaolan, woo woo."
"What... what's wrong with this? Jingru, why are you crying?"
Bai Xiaolan on the phone was also confused by Liu Jingru.
Liu Jingru sniffed, and cried aggrievedly: "Senior Gu Chen bullied me."
"Gu Chen bullied you?" Hearing Liu Jingru's words, Bai Xiaolan became even more confused in an instant, and hurriedly asked:
"No way? Why is Gu Chen bullying you?"
"He said I was a murderer, woo hoo." With Bai Xiaolan's backing at this moment, Liu Jingru also began to complain with sobs.
Gu Chen squeezed his hands when he heard the words, and quickly explained: "We are following the procedure. This is a normal investigation, and we didn't say you are the murderer. We are just asking you to understand the relevant situation. Don't get me wrong."
"He said it." Regardless of Gu Chen's explanation, Liu Jingru felt that the enmity had become serious, and she didn't care about anything, and complained to Bai Xiaolan first.
Seeing Liu Jingru crying on the phone, Bai Xiaolan hurriedly comforted her: "Jingru, don't cry yet, Gu Chen has always handled cases fairly, and he will not justly wrong anyone."
After thinking about it, Bai Xiaolan said again: "How about this, you give the phone to Gu Chen first."
"Yeah." Sniffing, Liu Jingru, who looked aggrieved, also choked up, then shook her hand and handed the phone to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen, who took the phone, quickly explained: "Xiaolan, this is all a misunderstanding, I didn't..."
"I know you, Gu Chen, didn't wrong anyone? I don't know how you, Gu Chen handled the case? It's an investigation, you have to ask clearly about the situation, and no one who is suspected can be let go."
Before Gu Chen could finish speaking, Bai Xiaolan also understood.
Gu Chen sighed, and said with relief: "You still understand me."
"Gu Chen." Just as Gu Chen finished speaking, Bai Xiaolan on the phone explained, "But then again, just because I understand you, doesn't mean that Liu Jingru can understand you."
"She has just started working and is still in the middle of an internship. I feel a little sorry for entrusting her with such an important and high-intensity docking task."
"After all, I don't have anyone in my hands, and Liu Jingru is timid, and you brought her to the Furong sub-bureau for investigation. She is a little girl, and she must be scared. If you suspect that she is the murderer, then she will not be wronged." Well?"
With a faint sigh, Bai Xiaolan said helplessly, "So, Gu Chen, although it wasn't your fault, I think you should make a mistake with her, right?"
"After all, Liu Jingru is in charge of your next match training and matchmaking work. If you make her feel wronged, then you..."
"I understand." Hearing Bai Xiaolan's words, Gu Chen also felt quite depressed.
The investigation of the clues of the case came here, but it was suddenly interrupted.
Now I have to make amends to Liu Jingru.
But think about it, aren't men's minds stretched by grievances? After thinking about it, he felt relieved, and continued:
"How about this, Xiaolan, I'll have someone send Liu Jingru back to the Jiangnanhuhufei training ground first, and if there is something that needs Liu Jingru's cooperation in the investigation, I'll talk about it later, do you think it's okay?"
"Okay, as long as I promise to send this aunt back to work, I can do whatever..."
Here, Bai Xiaolan was half-talking, and there were people around asking about the situation.
For a while, Bai Xiaolan was so busy that she hurriedly said, "I'm too busy here, Gu Chen, so I'll leave it to you. If there's any problem, can we talk about it after we finish the FPV traversing machine racing competition?"
"Can."
"That's it, I have a lot of things at hand now, so I'll hang up first."
"it is good……"
As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, there was a "beep beep" hang-up sound from the other end of the phone.
Looking down at Liu Jingru who was sitting on the interrogation chair, her eyes were still red at the moment, sniffing her nose from time to time, Gu Chen also had a headache.
He hurriedly fumbled in his pocket, handed a pack of napkins to him, and said, "Wipe your face, we didn't say you were the murderer, we were just investigating."
Liu Jingru choked up a sob, and after taking Gu Chen's tissue, she couldn't help but wet the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then said: "You speak fiercely, it's different from usual."
"Is there?" Feeling inexplicable, Gu Chen reflected on himself for a moment, and then quickly explained:
"Maybe we were too aggressive just now, but we have been interrogating suspects here for a long time, so as soon as we enter the interrogation room, we will naturally enter the state."
"If you speak without confidence, you won't be able to suppress these suspects, especially these people have different personalities. Many of them are very arrogant. If you speak softly, it will be impossible for these people to confess honestly."
After a pause, seeing that Liu Jingru was looking up at him, Gu Chen said earnestly, "So, I'm asking you here, it's hard for me to communicate as usual, but I've already kept my tone to the lowest."
"Then can I go?" Liu Jingru seemed to have listened, but still asked.
"Okay, I will ask my colleague to take you to the Jiangnan Lake training ground later. We apologize for delaying your work."
After a brief pause for a few seconds, Gu Chen said again: "However, if the case requires your cooperation in the investigation, we will still bring you here until the murderer is apprehended."
"Let's talk about it later." Liu Jingru wanted to leave here early, so she got up and went outside.
Lu Weiwei, who was staying at the door, returned the mobile phone wrapped in a transparent evidence collection bag to Liu Jingru, and said, "Your mobile phone."
"Thank you." Liu Jingru said coldly, and walked outside.
When police officer Wang saw this, he also reminded him: "Liu Jingru, I will ask my colleagues in our department to send you off. You can wait downstairs."
"No need, I'll take a taxi myself." After the words fell, Liu Jingru disappeared around the corner.
Afterwards, everyone lay on the balcony of the corridor and watched Liu Jingru take a taxi at the gate of the Furong branch and leave.
Yuan Shasha turned around and leaned against the railing of the corridor, she also sighed and said, "Damn, this Liu Jingru has quite a temper?"
"We offended her, wouldn't she wear shoes for us? After all, we have to rely on her, Liu Jingru, for our daily training arrangements."
"No, it should be just out of anger." Gu Chen looked at the direction Liu Jingru was going away, and said involuntarily:
"My school girl is timid, I can't bear to be wronged, and I just started working, so I can't be cruel."
"We were in the interrogation room just now, and the conversation with her was a bit harsh. At that moment, she probably felt that it was a little wronged that so many of us were targeting her."
"Then Junior Brother Gu, do you think Liu Jingru is lying?" As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei made a hypothesis.
Gu Chen hesitated for a few seconds, and then said: "Theoretically, before the suspect is found, anyone is suspected of lying."
"After all, whether Liu Jingru knew Zhang Muzhi before, this needs further investigation."
"But I feel that this Liu Jingru is like a girl next door, pure and kind. If you have to associate her with the murderer, I feel a little too much."
Police officer Wang held the thermos cup in his hand, couldn't help but took a sip of wolfberry tea, and then said:
"These days, after getting in touch with Liu Jingru, I feel that this is a hardworking little bee. She is really the kind of girl who works hard, works hard and is motivated."
"It's really a nanny-like care to work with her these days. She helps us arrange everything properly and is very careful."
"But if, such a good girl, suddenly you tell me that she is the murderer, the man behind the murder of Zhang Muzhi, tsk tsk, to be honest, this is too cruel, I can't accept it."
"That's right. Although Liu Jingru is indeed suspected in many ways, I can't bear to treat her as a murderer."
"Didn't you figure it out already?" Seeing that everyone was helping Liu Jingru, Gu Chen also let out a long sigh, and said helplessly:
"Liu Jingru is indeed a warm-hearted girl. In order to help her colleagues purchase, she ran around and visited all the stores selling diving equipment."
"It can only be said that this is an oolong incident, but what is worthy of vigilance is that the behavior of this woman named Xu Xiaoli is suspicious."
"You suspect that Xu Xiaoli is the real murderer?" Lu Weiwei asked.
Gu Chen nodded silently, and explained: "Yes, I do have some doubts about her."
"First of all, she has been in frequent contact with Liu Jingru during this period, and she knows some of Liu Jingru's daily work very well."
"Secondly, the purchasing notice from their Table Tennis Association was issued 10 days ago, but she arranged the purchasing work 5 days ago and asked Liu Jingru to help."
"And this period of time happened to be the time when Bai Xiaolan finalized the scene of the Hufei competition. This kind of coincidence is too delicate."
"Xu Xiaoli?" Officer Wang murmured after hearing Gu Chen's words, "If that's the case, and if Xu Xiaoli is really the murderer, then wouldn't Liu Jingru become her shield? She became a tool for her subordinates?"
"Very likely." Gu Chen snapped his fingers, walked back and forth in front of the crowd, and said analytically:
"Maybe you didn't pay attention when Xu Xiaoli left."
"Note...pay attention to what?" Yuan Shasha said she didn't understand.
Gu Chen didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "When I asked Xu Xiaoli to leave the No. 2 interrogation room, I found that her legs were shaking when she was walking."
"Trembling? It's not enough?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei also said with a smile:
"When we talked to Xu Xiaoli in the interrogation room, the atmosphere was quite harmonious. I didn't feel that Xu Xiaoli was very scared? Walking trembling? Not so much."
"Yes." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Police Officer Wang couldn't help but say, "I haven't done anything wrong, and it's not like my legs trembled when I walked after the questioning. Could it be true? Do you have ghosts in your heart?"
Officer Wang's voice fell, while Gu Chen on the other side put his arms around his chest and leaned against the wall opposite the corridor, analyzing and saying:
"We have also interrogated many prisoners in the interrogation room. For this kind of people with trembling legs, some of them really have ghosts in their hearts. We questioned them with a guilty conscience, so when they walk, their legs tremble."
"There are also some who are very timid in themselves, so they were taken to the interrogation room for questioning. In such a closed environment, the attention will be highly concentrated."
"But once the interrogation is over, the tense atmosphere suddenly relaxes, which will cause the muscles not to be relieved quickly from the tense state, so the legs will have an overreaction of trembling."
"Well, does Xu Xiaoli belong to the latter?" Lu Weiwei asked.
Gu Chen shook his head: "I don't know, maybe only she knows."
"But one thing worth noting is that even for a timid girl like Liu Jingru, she has been wronged for a long time in the interrogation room, and she didn't show signs of trembling when she left."
"You know, Liu Jingru cried before during the interrogation, and her legs didn't even tremble."
"But Xu Xiaoli, who was calm and calm when communicating with us, left her legs shaking violently. This is too much of a contrast."
Hearing what Gu Chen said, everyone started to pay attention.
Lu Weiwei also nodded silently, and said a little puzzled: "Although the overreactions of the two legs are different, there is no harm without comparison."
"I think this Xu Xiaoli is also an old employee who has been working for a long time, so she won't be more nervous than an intern who just started working?"
"As Junior Brother Gu said just now, a timid and special girl like Liu Jingru walked out of the interrogation room and everything was normal, but a veteran at work, why did she show signs of trembling?"
"Or, what is she afraid of?"
"Hearing what you said, hey, I really feel that there is something wrong with Xu Xiaoli." Police Officer Wang suddenly had an idea based on what Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei said, and hurriedly said:
"First of all, she meets all the same crime conditions as Liu Jingru, and knows the training time between major clubs like the back of the hand."
"Secondly, Liu Jingru appeared on the day the murderer bought diving equipment, went to buy a designated racket, and walked around almost all the stores that sold diving equipment."
"But who caused all this? Xu Xiaoli, she said she didn't know Zhang Muzhi. I don't believe it. We'd better shift the focus of the investigation from Liu Jingru to Xu Xiaoli. Maybe we can make a breakthrough."
"How about it." Gu Chen looked up at the sky, thought for a few seconds, and then said:
"Let Senior Brother He investigate all of Xu Xiaoli's whereabouts in the last 10 days or so, and see what she's been up to these days?"
"Also, hurry up and contact Gao Chuanfeng from the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau to see if the family members of the deceased Zhang Muzhi have come? If you have already arrived in Jiangnan City, let them arrange a time as soon as possible so that we can meet Zhang Muzhi's family members."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen tried to calm down, and then said: "I seem to know now, what kind of grievances and grievances are behind Zhang Muzhi? How did he let himself fall into the disaster of killing himself? This must be done. Find out as soon as possible."
...
The interrogation room was confused by Police Officer Wang's lecture, and Liu Jingru didn't know which method to use to clear herself up. After a few seconds of silence, Liu Jingru raised her head and said, "Officer Wang, I didn't know Zhang Muzhi before, how can I get evidence for you?" "Besides, what kind of diving equipment are you talking about, and what kind of woman wrapped in rice dumplings? It's not me at all, is it?" "Although I went to these shops selling diving equipment, they were all for my colleagues to purchase rackets. If you don't believe me, you can investigate." Liu Jingru is also very angry now, feeling that she has been greatly wronged. Officer Wang glanced at Gu Chen. After a few seconds of thought, Gu Chen asked Liu Jingru again: "What is the name of the colleague who asked you to buy the racket?" "Xu Xiaoli." Liu Jingru said: "A more enthusiastic older sister, oh, yes, that's the older sister I often tell you, the one who usually rubs her car after get off work." "She is a very nice person and enthusiastic. Every time she rubs against her car, she feels embarrassed, so she asked me to help buy rackets that day, and I agreed." Sniffing, Liu Jingru looked up at the crowd, and then said: "But why did I come to you, making me seem to be stepping on the spot?" "Then this woman wrapped in rice dumplings is you?" Lu Weiwei also confirmed again and again. "No." Liu Jingru replied loudly: "Of course it's not me." "Okay." It felt like Liu Jingru was about to explode with anger, and Lu Weiwei also felt, did everyone make a mistake? Or...coincidence? But in everyone's opinion, Liu Jingru is currently the biggest suspect who meets the conditions for committing the crime. But the key point is that the murderer's appearance cannot be seen clearly. Gu Chen thought for a moment, and then asked again: "Liu Jingru, can you contact this eldest sister named Xu Xiaoli now, and come to our Furong branch?" "If you can confirm what you said, then you can leave here." "Of course." Liu Jingru didn't want to stay for a moment, and she cooperated very actively and said, "I'll call now and ask this big sister to come over." ... ... 30 minutes or so. A tall, thin, middle-aged woman in professional attire walked to the corridor of the interrogation room in a hurry. Seeing that Gu Chen and the others were standing at the door waiting for something, she hurried over and asked, "Officer Gu, are you looking for me?" "You know me?" Gu Chen asked her. The tall, thin middle-aged woman also grinned: "Are you kidding me? You, Police Officer Gu, can be a star policeman from the Furong Sub-bureau, and Bai Xiaolan's good friend. Who doesn't know you, Gu Chen?" After straightening the backpack on her shoulders, the middle-aged, tall and thin woman asked again: "Just now, Liu Jingru from our TV station said that let me come to the police station and say that you have something to do with me?" "That's right." Gu Chen nodded slightly, then gave way to a passage, stretched out his hand and said, "Come with us." "Oh!" I don't know what Gu Chen asked himself to do here? The middle-aged tall and thin woman could only nod silently, and slowly followed behind everyone. Everyone walked into the No. 2 interrogation room together. Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha also took their seats familiarly. Looking at an empty chair on the opposite side, the tall and thin middle-aged woman knew that it was prepared for herself, and sat down quite cooperatively. Seeing that Yuan Shasha had turned on the camera, Gu Chen said, "Then...let's start, name." "Oh, my name is Xu Xiaoli." The middle-aged tall and thin woman said. "Report your ID number." Gu Chen continued. "The ID number is..." According to Gu Chen's request, Xu Xiaoli informed Gu Chen of her personal information. After registering the basic information, Gu Chen returned to the topic and asked, "I heard from Liu Jingru that you asked her to purchase table tennis rackets for the competition 5 days ago, right?" "Ah?" Upon hearing Gu Chen's words, Liu Xiaoli was stunned. She didn't seem to understand what Gu Chen meant at all. She thought that Gu Chen called her here to ask about some work matters, but Gu Chen suddenly mentioned these personal matters, which made Xu Xiaoli suddenly a little at a loss. After all, Liu Jingru couldn't tell these things on the phone, she only said that the police had something to do with Liu Xiaoli. After a brief silence for a few seconds, Xu Xiaoli still nodded in agreement: "Yes, our Table Tennis Association is going to participate in a competition recently, and we need to use some designated brand rackets." "And I was going to go shopping that day, but I had something to do at the temporary station and couldn't leave, so I thought Liu Jingru would have a rest that day, so I asked her to do it for me..." Xu Xiaoli also recounted how she handed over this work to Liu Jingru. He even took out his mobile phone and showed the leaflet of the Table Tennis Association in front of Gu Chen, letting Gu Chen check the relevant content. Gu Chen also discovered that in the leaflet, there is indeed a requirement for a designated brand of racket. Taking back the phone, Xu Xiaoli also smiled and said, "Officer Gu, you called me over to ask about this?" "You... do you know that, as a producer, Bai Xiaolan has been busy with the Jiangnan sub-station of the FPV flying machine racing competition?" After Gu Chen completed the records, he asked Xu Xiaoli about the competition. Xu Xiaoli stared blankly, but soon laughed and said: "Of course, Xiaolan got a big sponsor when she became a producer for the first time, and the sponsor's father is the Yuan Group. My colleagues are envious and don't want it." "Then do you know about the training arrangements for this FPV traversing machine racing competition, the Jiangnan sub-station?" Gu Chen asked again. "Training arrangement?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Xu Xiaoli hesitated for a few seconds, then shook her head: "I don't really understand, after all, Bai Xiaolan is in charge of this project." "And I'm from another department, so... I can only hear about it, but I don't know much about it." "Okay." After Gu Chen wrote these records, he turned the pen with his right hand and continued to ask: "You don't know, but have you asked Liu Jingru about this?" "what?" "Just to ask you, have you asked Liu Jingru about the training arrangements for the FPV traversing machine racing competition?" Lu Weiwei on the side also reminded. Xu Xiaoli laughed dryly, and said involuntarily, "I'll ask her a few casual questions, too." "Because Liu Jingru has been very hard during this period, and often has to be busy and go home very late." "But because I stopped by her house, Liu Jingru would ask me if I was at get off work every time before she got off work? If I was, she would take my car home." "We are also on the road and will chat casually about work, so I will also casually ask her about the specific training situation of these clubs." "What car do you drive?" Gu Chen suddenly raised his head and asked her. "A buggy." "Do you have a foreign license?" Gu Chen asked again. Xu Xiaoli nodded silently: "That's right, because I worked in other places before, so I bought this car in other places, what's wrong?" Feeling that Gu Chen's sharp eyes were staring at her, Xu Xiaoli felt uncomfortable. Gu Chen was on Jiangnan TV, and Xu Xiaoli had seen her back several times, but Xu Xiaoli was still a little flustered when they looked at each other at such a close distance like today. The main reason is that Gu Chen's eyes were too sharp during the interrogation, and when it seemed that no one dared to answer the question, they looked directly into his eyes. Xu Xiaoli is no exception. Gu Chen completed these records, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Do you know Zhang Muzhi?" "Ah?" After Gu Chen said this, Xu Xiaoli was stunned again. After a while, he shook his head and said in denial, "I don't know Zhang Muzhi, who is Zhang Muzhi?" "Are you sure?" Gu Chen still stared at Xu Xiaoli without changing his face. Xu Xiaoli lowered her tone and said weakly, "I'm sure, I really don't know Zhang Muzhi." Seeing that Gu Chen recorded these, Xu Xiaoli asked Gu Chen again: "Officer Gu, I still have work in the afternoon. If there is no problem, can I leave now?" "Okay." After Gu Chen recorded the handwritten notes, Yuan Shasha on the side also entered all the conversations into the computer. Afterwards, Gu Chen handed the transcript form to Xu Xiaoli and said, "Sign here, and you can leave." "Okay!" Feeling that Gu Chen was extremely cold today, Xu Xiaoli couldn't help but shudder in her heart. But after signing her name, she slowly got up and walked towards the door. However, Gu Chen found that Xu Xiaoli's legs were trembling involuntarily. Watching Xu Xiaoli leave, Police Officer Wang came to Gu Chen's side and asked him curiously, "Gu Chen, do you think there is anything wrong with this Xu Xiaoli?" "I don't know." Gu Chen shook his head and said, "If what she said is true, then these objective factors of Liu Jingru may really be just a coincidence." "But Liu Jingru always takes Xu Xiaoli's car home after work these days." "Objectively speaking, Xu Xiaoli can learn about the relevant training arrangements of major clubs through Liu Jingru." "That is to say, Xu Xiaoli is suspected?" Yuan Shasha asked. Gu Chen nodded slightly: "Well, after all, the timing of her purchase of these rackets is very delicate. I have seen that the payment date of the notice was issued 10 days ago, but why did she choose 5 days ago before asking Liu Jingru to help purchase? " "If it is said that she learned about some internal work arrangements through some conversations with Liu Jingru on the way to send Liu Jingru home, then perhaps her procurement arrangements this time seem too deliberate." "I think so too." Just as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei interrupted involuntarily: "Think about it, the diving equipment purchased by the murderer 5 days ago, it is obvious that the murderer already knew the relevant locations of the major club competitions 5 days ago, and only the organizer Jiangnan TV Station knows this." "So, the murderer may be inextricably linked with the insiders of the TV station." "Even if it's a coincidence that Liu Jingru's frequent appearance in front of the diving equipment store is a coincidence, who made these coincidences? It's Xu Xiaoli, what does she want to do?" After a pause, Lu Weiwei said again: "Besides, have you ever thought about it? She, Xu Xiaoli, can also take Liu Jingru home every day, ask Liu Jingru about the training situation of the major racing clubs, and make corresponding adjustments in time. " "Yes." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Gu Chen also expressed his thoughts: "I also think that this Xu Xiaoli is a bit weird. In fact, Xu Xiaoli also exists in the conditions that Liu Jingru meets for committing the crime." "But there is one thing. The timing Xu Xiaoli arranged for Liu Jingru to make purchases was rather subtle. It happened to be 5 days ago, and I asked Bai Xiaolan to confirm the final Hufei site, which happened to be 5 days ago." "Only the members of Bai Xiaolan's team know about this, and since Liu Jingru and Xu Xiaoli are very close, it's not surprising that Xu Xiaoli can get this information from Liu Jingru." After a pause, seeing that everyone started to analyze according to their own thinking, Gu Chen continued: "If this is the case, then obviously, based on the murderer's understanding of Zhang Muzhi, he must be aware of Zhang Muzhi's fondness for swimming." "As for the delayed training arrangements at night, Liu Jingru can make her own decisions. This also objectively shows that many clubs will practice extra at night." "In this way, Xu Xiaoli obviously knows about the additional training situation of Zhang Muzhi's Hangzhou Shadow Club." "In this way, she can step on the spot in advance, and then according to Liu Jingru's work arrangement, she can keep abreast of the Hufei training arrangements of the major clubs at any time." "In this way, Xu Xiaoli theoretically has the conditions to complete the crime, and her figure is also quite similar to that woman who bought diving equipment." "Gu... Gu Chen, do you suspect that Xu Xiaoli is the murderer?" Listening to Gu Chen's analysis, Officer Wang suddenly felt dizzy. You know, Gu Chen's current suspects are all focused on the staff of Jiangnan TV Station. But after all, Jiangnan TV Station still has a lot of cooperation with the Furong branch. Calling Liu Jingru for questioning has already made the relationship between everyone and Liu Jingru more delicate. Now that Xu Xiaoli is called in for questioning again, does it feel like Bai Xiaolan is also called in for questioning? In this way, wouldn't the leaders of Jiangnan TV station be offended? After all, Police Officer Wang is an old comrade. He has to consider many things comprehensively. Gu Chen also knew this very well, but he didn't say it to death, but said slowly: "I just doubt this Xu Xiaoli." "Although Xu Xiaoli also has the conditions to commit crimes, but like Liu Jingru, what is their motive for killing?" "If there is no motive for the murder, and they didn't know Zhang Muzhi before, then this kind of argument is also untenable. It is impossible for these two people to carefully plan all this for a person who has nothing to do with them before?" After Gu Chen said this, the scene suddenly became quiet. After a short silence for a few seconds, Yuan Shasha asked: "Brother Gu, you said last time that there were two people following that white car near the Jiangnan Lake competition area, right?" "That's right." Hearing what Yuan Shasha said, Gu Chen also nodded and admitted: "There were indeed two people meeting at the time." "That is to say, there is more than one murderer, at least one more is an accomplice." Yuan Shasha continued to remind. Lu Weiwei suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, and the driver that Senior Brother Gu was following that day was obviously a man." "However, the person who bought the diving equipment was a woman, so can we think that these two people are a man and a woman, and they conspired to kill Zhang Muzhi?" "It's possible." Gu Chen also agreed with this statement, but said helplessly: "But, we can't even find out the woman who bought the diving equipment, let alone find out the whereabouts of the other man." "Harmful!" Police Officer Wang sighed, crossed his hands behind his head, and couldn't help complaining: "What kind of deep hatred does this murderer have with Zhang Muzhi? He wants to drown Zhang Muzhi in Jiangnan Lake?" "The things that you Gu Chen analyzed before are indeed reasonable. The murderer must know the whereabouts of Zhang Muzhi in the major clubs, especially the Hangzhou Shadow Club, so that he can accurately murder Zhang Muzhi." "But now, Liu Jingru and Xu Xiaoli, the two most suspected people, have no motive to kill, so it's very difficult." "After all, if the two people didn't know Zhang Muzhi before, then no matter what our final investigation is, if they don't have a motive to kill, the murder is impossible." Officer Wang's voice fell, and the scene became quiet again. Everyone is overwhelmed by the current situation. Originally, when we handled cases before, we could always find evidence based on some subtle clues. But Zhang Muzhi's drowning death this time is a bit special, this is a foreign player, but if the murderer wants to murder Zhang Muzhi, he must know the whole competition training like the back of his hand. To meet this condition, it must be the organizing committee, especially the organizer Jiangnan TV. After all, the choice of the venue all came from Bai Xiaolan's planning. But everyone knew Bai Xiaolan that she was busy with work every day, and there was no evidence that she was at the scene of the crime. The most likely Liu Jingru and Xu Xiaoli seem to have met the prerequisites, but they both deny that they knew Zhang Muzhi before. In this way, the final link has to be interrupted again. "Let's release Liu Jingru first, and let her go back to work. After all, the Jiangnan branch of the FPV racing competition is very important, and our Furong sub-bureau representative team has to participate on behalf of the Jiangnan police force." "Moreover, this is also the first time that Bai Xiaolan has formed a team to operate a project as a producer." "If Bai Xiaolan's project is messed up, Yuan's Group, the funder behind her, will also be upset." After a pause, Gu Chen shook his head helplessly: "Although the investigation is interrupted now, Liu Jingru must go back to work quickly so that the whole project can be put into operation." Here, Gu Chen was still thinking, and quickly put Liu Jingru back in the No. 1 interrogation room next door, but his cell phone rang suddenly. Gu Chen looked down and saw that the caller was Bai Xiaolan. Lu Weiwei also glanced at her, and immediately frowned slightly, and hurriedly said: "No, after Xu Xiaoli left, she must have called Bai Xiaolan. I guess Bai Xiaolan must be asking for someone from you now." "The one who should come will always come." Gu Chen took a deep breath and tried to calm down, then picked up the phone and swiped the answer button. "Small" "Gu Chen, I heard that you called Liu Jingru to your Furong branch office. Is there such a thing?" Before Gu Chen could speak, Bai Xiaolan on the other side asked anxiously. Gu Chen asked: "That's right, she was asked to come over and cooperate with the investigation." "Gu Chen, the training ground on the Jiangnan Lake side is now a mess. There is no one to connect with the training of the major clubs. You also know that I am short of people. Now you call Liu Jingru away. You let what should I do?" "Xiaolan." Seeing that Bai Xiaolan was in a hurry, Gu Chen also said earnestly: "You also know that Zhang Muzhi, the captain of the Hangzhou Shadow Club, drowned. This matter has a great impact on the entire FPV traversing machine racing competition. Big." "What I have to do now is to bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible." "Murderer? Catch him?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Bai Xiaolan was also at a loss, and hurriedly said: "Gu Chen, did you make a mistake? Didn't Zhang Muzhi accidentally drown and die? Why did another murderer come out again? What's going on here?" "Xiaolan, I can't explain these two sentences clearly, so I'll make a long story short." Gu Chen was also quite helpless, and didn't have time to explain too much to Bai Xiaolan, so he focused on the point: "During the autopsy on Zhang Muzhi, we discovered that Zhang Muzhi's death was strange. It is unlikely that he drowned accidentally, but was dragged into the bottom of the water by a murderer wearing professional diving equipment." "Let the defenseless Zhang Muzhi drown in the water in an instant." "Why...how did this happen?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Bai Xiaolan was stunned on the spot. The other end of the phone was also quiet for a few seconds, and then came another question from Bai Xiaolan: "Then Gu Chen, you said that Zhang Muzhi was murdered, is there any evidence for that?" "Yes, I have some information, including the model of diving equipment, but there are some clues that cannot be confirmed, so I called Liu Jingru to cooperate with the investigation." "So that's the case?" Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Bai Xiaolan was also very nervous, so she asked again: "Then... can Liu Jingru end it? The staff at the Jiangnanhuhufei Stadium are all on the phone, and Liu Jingru is doing a lot of work." "Now that Liu Jingru is not here, they all call me, but I don't understand the situation here, so I can't help them solve it." With a heavy sigh, Bai Xiaolan also said helplessly: "So, Gu Chen, can you end here? If yes, can Liu Jingru answer the phone?" "Okay, our side is basically over, you wait, Liu Jingru is in the next room, I'll give her the phone." Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha winked at Lu Weiwei, and everyone immediately understood, packed up their things, and prepared to evacuate. Gu Chen also took the mobile phone and directly opened the door of the No. 1 interrogation room. At this moment, Liu Jingru was lying there quietly, in a daze. Gu Chen opened the door, Liu Jingru subconsciously raised her head and glanced at Gu Chen. "It's Bai Xiaolan's call." Gu Chen handed over the phone directly. Liu Jingru took the mobile phone, her lips curled up in an instant, her eyes were red, and she complained to Bai Xiaolan with aggrieved tears: "Miss Xiaolan, woo woo." "What... what's wrong with this? Jingru, why are you crying?" Bai Xiaolan on the phone was also confused by Liu Jingru. Liu Jingru sniffed, and cried aggrievedly: "Senior Gu Chen bullied me." "Gu Chen bullied you?" Hearing Liu Jingru's words, Bai Xiaolan became even more confused in an instant, and hurriedly asked: "No way? Why is Gu Chen bullying you?" "He said I was a murderer, woo hoo." With Bai Xiaolan's backing at this moment, Liu Jingru also began to complain with sobs. Gu Chen squeezed his hands when he heard the words, and quickly explained: "We are following the procedure. This is a normal investigation, and we didn't say you are the murderer. We are just asking you to understand the relevant situation. Don't get me wrong." "He said it." Regardless of Gu Chen's explanation, Liu Jingru felt that the enmity had become serious, and she didn't care about anything, and complained to Bai Xiaolan first. Seeing Liu Jingru crying on the phone, Bai Xiaolan hurriedly comforted her: "Jingru, don't cry yet, Gu Chen has always handled cases fairly, and he will not justly wrong anyone." After thinking about it, Bai Xiaolan said again: "How about this, you give the phone to Gu Chen first." "Yeah." Sniffing, Liu Jingru, who looked aggrieved, also choked up, then shook her hand and handed the phone to Gu Chen. Gu Chen, who took the phone, quickly explained: "Xiaolan, this is all a misunderstanding, I didn't..." "I know you, Gu Chen, didn't wrong anyone? I don't know how you, Gu Chen handled the case? It's an investigation, you have to ask clearly about the situation, and no one who is suspected can be let go." Before Gu Chen could finish speaking, Bai Xiaolan also understood. Gu Chen sighed, and said with relief: "You still understand me." "Gu Chen." Just as Gu Chen finished speaking, Bai Xiaolan on the phone explained, "But then again, just because I understand you, doesn't mean that Liu Jingru can understand you." "She has just started working and is still in the middle of an internship. I feel a little sorry for entrusting her with such an important and high-intensity docking task." "After all, I don't have anyone in my hands, and Liu Jingru is timid, and you brought her to the Furong sub-bureau for investigation. She is a little girl, and she must be scared. If you suspect that she is the murderer, then she will not be wronged." Well?" With a faint sigh, Bai Xiaolan said helplessly, "So, Gu Chen, although it wasn't your fault, I think you should make a mistake with her, right?" "After all, Liu Jingru is in charge of your next match training and matchmaking work. If you make her feel wronged, then you..." "I understand." Hearing Bai Xiaolan's words, Gu Chen also felt quite depressed. The investigation of the clues of the case came here, but it was suddenly interrupted. Now I have to make amends to Liu Jingru. But think about it, aren't men's minds stretched by grievances? After thinking about it, he felt relieved, and continued: "How about this, Xiaolan, I'll have someone send Liu Jingru back to the Jiangnanhuhufei training ground first, and if there is something that needs Liu Jingru's cooperation in the investigation, I'll talk about it later, do you think it's okay?" "Okay, as long as I promise to send this aunt back to work, I can do whatever..." Here, Bai Xiaolan was half-talking, and there were people around asking about the situation. For a while, Bai Xiaolan was so busy that she hurriedly said, "I'm too busy here, Gu Chen, so I'll leave it to you. If there's any problem, can we talk about it after we finish the FPV traversing machine racing competition?" "Can." "That's it, I have a lot of things at hand now, so I'll hang up first." "it is good" As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, there was a "beep beep" hang-up sound from the other end of the phone. Looking down at Liu Jingru who was sitting on the interrogation chair, her eyes were still red at the moment, sniffing her nose from time to time, Gu Chen also had a headache. He hurriedly fumbled in his pocket, handed a pack of napkins to him, and said, "Wipe your face, we didn't say you were the murderer, we were just investigating." Liu Jingru choked up a sob, and after taking Gu Chen's tissue, she couldn't help but wet the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then said: "You speak fiercely, it's different from usual." "Is there?" Feeling inexplicable, Gu Chen reflected on himself for a moment, and then quickly explained: "Maybe we were too aggressive just now, but we have been interrogating suspects here for a long time, so as soon as we enter the interrogation room, we will naturally enter the state." "If you speak without confidence, you won't be able to suppress these suspects, especially these people have different personalities. Many of them are very arrogant. If you speak softly, it will be impossible for these people to confess honestly." After a pause, seeing that Liu Jingru was looking up at him, Gu Chen said earnestly, "So, I'm asking you here, it's hard for me to communicate as usual, but I've already kept my tone to the lowest." "Then can I go?" Liu Jingru seemed to have listened, but still asked. "Okay, I will ask my colleague to take you to the Jiangnan Lake training ground later. We apologize for delaying your work." After a brief pause for a few seconds, Gu Chen said again: "However, if the case requires your cooperation in the investigation, we will still bring you here until the murderer is apprehended." "Let's talk about it later." Liu Jingru wanted to leave here early, so she got up and went outside. Lu Weiwei, who was staying at the door, returned the mobile phone wrapped in a transparent evidence collection bag to Liu Jingru, and said, "Your mobile phone." "Thank you." Liu Jingru said coldly, and walked outside. When police officer Wang saw this, he also reminded him: "Liu Jingru, I will ask my colleagues in our department to send you off. You can wait downstairs." "No need, I'll take a taxi myself." After the words fell, Liu Jingru disappeared around the corner. Afterwards, everyone lay on the balcony of the corridor and watched Liu Jingru take a taxi at the gate of the Furong branch and leave. Yuan Shasha turned around and leaned against the railing of the corridor, she also sighed and said, "Damn, this Liu Jingru has quite a temper?" "We offended her, wouldn't she wear shoes for us? After all, we have to rely on her, Liu Jingru, for our daily training arrangements." "No, it should be just out of anger." Gu Chen looked at the direction Liu Jingru was going away, and said involuntarily: "My school girl is timid, I can't bear to be wronged, and I just started working, so I can't be cruel." "We were in the interrogation room just now, and the conversation with her was a bit harsh. At that moment, she probably felt that it was a little wronged that so many of us were targeting her." "Then Junior Brother Gu, do you think Liu Jingru is lying?" As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei made a hypothesis. Gu Chen hesitated for a few seconds, and then said: "Theoretically, before the suspect is found, anyone is suspected of lying." "After all, whether Liu Jingru knew Zhang Muzhi before, this needs further investigation." "But I feel that this Liu Jingru is like a girl next door, pure and kind. If you have to associate her with the murderer, I feel a little too much." Police officer Wang held the thermos cup in his hand, couldn't help but took a sip of wolfberry tea, and then said: "These days, after getting in touch with Liu Jingru, I feel that this is a hardworking little bee. She is really the kind of girl who works hard, works hard and is motivated." "It's really a nanny-like care to work with her these days. She helps us arrange everything properly and is very careful." "But if, such a good girl, suddenly you tell me that she is the murderer, the man behind the murder of Zhang Muzhi, tsk tsk, to be honest, this is too cruel, I can't accept it." "That's right. Although Liu Jingru is indeed suspected in many ways, I can't bear to treat her as a murderer." "Didn't you figure it out already?" Seeing that everyone was helping Liu Jingru, Gu Chen also let out a long sigh, and said helplessly: "Liu Jingru is indeed a warm-hearted girl. In order to help her colleagues purchase, she ran around and visited all the stores selling diving equipment." "It can only be said that this is an oolong incident, but what is worthy of vigilance is that the behavior of this woman named Xu Xiaoli is suspicious." "You suspect that Xu Xiaoli is the real murderer?" Lu Weiwei asked. Gu Chen nodded silently, and explained: "Yes, I do have some doubts about her." "First of all, she has been in frequent contact with Liu Jingru during this period, and she knows some of Liu Jingru's daily work very well." "Secondly, the purchasing notice from their Table Tennis Association was issued 10 days ago, but she arranged the purchasing work 5 days ago and asked Liu Jingru to help." "And this period of time happened to be the time when Bai Xiaolan finalized the scene of the Hufei competition. This kind of coincidence is too delicate." "Xu Xiaoli?" Officer Wang murmured after hearing Gu Chen's words, "If that's the case, and if Xu Xiaoli is really the murderer, then wouldn't Liu Jingru become her shield? She became a tool for her subordinates?" "Very likely." Gu Chen snapped his fingers, walked back and forth in front of the crowd, and said analytically: "Maybe you didn't pay attention when Xu Xiaoli left." "Note...pay attention to what?" Yuan Shasha said she didn't understand. Gu Chen didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "When I asked Xu Xiaoli to leave the No. 2 interrogation room, I found that her legs were shaking when she was walking." "Trembling? It's not enough?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei also said with a smile: "When we talked to Xu Xiaoli in the interrogation room, the atmosphere was quite harmonious. I didn't feel that Xu Xiaoli was very scared? Walking trembling? Not so much." "Yes." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Police Officer Wang couldn't help but say, "I haven't done anything wrong, and it's not like my legs trembled when I walked after the questioning. Could it be true? Do you have ghosts in your heart?" Officer Wang's voice fell, while Gu Chen on the other side put his arms around his chest and leaned against the wall opposite the corridor, analyzing and saying: "We have also interrogated many prisoners in the interrogation room. For this kind of people with trembling legs, some of them really have ghosts in their hearts. We questioned them with a guilty conscience, so when they walk, their legs tremble." "There are also some who are very timid in themselves, so they were taken to the interrogation room for questioning. In such a closed environment, the attention will be highly concentrated." "But once the interrogation is over, the tense atmosphere suddenly relaxes, which will cause the muscles not to be relieved quickly from the tense state, so the legs will have an overreaction of trembling." "Well, does Xu Xiaoli belong to the latter?" Lu Weiwei asked. Gu Chen shook his head: "I don't know, maybe only she knows." "But one thing worth noting is that even for a timid girl like Liu Jingru, she has been wronged for a long time in the interrogation room, and she didn't show signs of trembling when she left." "You know, Liu Jingru cried before during the interrogation, and her legs didn't even tremble." "But Xu Xiaoli, who was calm and calm when communicating with us, left her legs shaking violently. This is too much of a contrast." Hearing what Gu Chen said, everyone started to pay attention. Lu Weiwei also nodded silently, and said a little puzzled: "Although the overreactions of the two legs are different, there is no harm without comparison." "I think this Xu Xiaoli is also an old employee who has been working for a long time, so she won't be more nervous than an intern who just started working?" "As Junior Brother Gu said just now, a timid and special girl like Liu Jingru walked out of the interrogation room and everything was normal, but a veteran at work, why did she show signs of trembling?" "Or, what is she afraid of?" "Hearing what you said, hey, I really feel that there is something wrong with Xu Xiaoli." Police Officer Wang suddenly had an idea based on what Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei said, and hurriedly said: "First of all, she meets all the same crime conditions as Liu Jingru, and knows the training time between major clubs like the back of the hand." "Secondly, Liu Jingru appeared on the day the murderer bought diving equipment, went to buy a designated racket, and walked around almost all the stores that sold diving equipment." "But who caused all this? Xu Xiaoli, she said she didn't know Zhang Muzhi. I don't believe it. We'd better shift the focus of the investigation from Liu Jingru to Xu Xiaoli. Maybe we can make a breakthrough." "How about it." Gu Chen looked up at the sky, thought for a few seconds, and then said: "Let Senior Brother He investigate all of Xu Xiaoli's whereabouts in the last 10 days or so, and see what she's been up to these days?" "Also, hurry up and contact Gao Chuanfeng from the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau to see if the family members of the deceased Zhang Muzhi have come? If you have already arrived in Jiangnan City, let them arrange a time as soon as possible so that we can meet Zhang Muzhi's family members." Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen tried to calm down, and then said: "I seem to know now, what kind of grievances and grievances are behind Zhang Muzhi? How did he let himself fall into the disaster of killing himself? This must be done. Find out as soon as possible." ...
