Chapter 2015

In fact, Gu Chen didn't consider the problem of traps before, especially in the process of tracking Wang Xinyu, he almost always operated according to his own habits.

Although he could find breakthroughs on some key clues, he could always lose Wang Xinyu at the last moment.

This made Gu Chen quite puzzled, because it almost never happened in his previous investigation and tracking of cases.

Originally, Gu Chen didn't quite know where the problem was? But after Gao Chuanfeng's reminder, Gu Chen seemed to have a bit of an epiphany.

Seeing that Gu Chen was still sluggish there, Lu Weiwei leaned forward and asked him curiously:

"Brother Gu, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about the issues that Gao Chuanfeng said just now." Gu Chen said.

"The problem Gao Chuanfeng said?" Lu Weiwei hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "Is it the trap he mentioned?"

"That's right." Gu Chen folded his hands on his chest, walked back and forth in front of the crowd, and said in thought:

"I feel that we seem to have fallen into the trap designed by Wang Xinyu."

"No way?" Officer Wang, who had just finished drinking a glass of water, quickly put down his own glass and said involuntarily:

"You said we fell into the trap designed by Wang Xinyu? Can this woman design us?"

"It's not impossible." Yuan Shasha agreed with Gu Chen's meaning, and also echoed:

"Because from the very beginning, all the clues we got were provided by that Wang Xinyu."

"But if Wang Xinyu can provide us with these clues, then she must know that in order to investigate the identity of the rotting corpse, our police will definitely ask her."

"But in this way, she should actively cooperate with our police, but Wang Xinyu did not do so."

"Not only did he not cooperate, but he also tried his best to avoid our police's tracking, but in the dark, he always left us clues."

"But those clues were all obtained by our own investigation?" Officer Wang retorted.

But Gu Chen waved his hand and said, "Not necessarily, although we found out these clues by ourselves, but you must guarantee that she, Wang Xinyu, will not reveal the clues on purpose?"

"From our investigation, although there are many difficulties, it is not difficult to find Wang Xinyu and confirm Wang Xinyu's identity."

"I think she, Wang Xinyu, should be very clear about it. Our police are fully capable of investigating her details."

"But even so, we still can't find her, and this is the crux of the problem."

"Gu Chen." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Gao Chuanfeng, who was already full, couldn't help touching his stomach, and then said:

"Your investigation thinking should indeed be changed."

"First of all, Wang Xinyu's golden cicada shed its shell, which can explain the problem very well."

"Do you think that what you see or hear must be correct?"

"Wait." Just as Gao Chuanfeng finished speaking, what did Gu Chen suddenly think of? He couldn't help turning his head to look at the crowd and said:

"The person who provided Wang Xinyu's whereabouts was the fish seller. If he was lying and tricked us into going under the Rainbow Bridge, what was his purpose? Just to tease us?"…

"It shouldn't be so boring, right?" Lu Weiwei shook her head, feeling that it shouldn't be.

Gu Chen then looked at Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha.

The two also shook their heads.

Yuan Shasha said: "Brother Gu, I think that the fish seller may have really seen Wang Xinyu living under the bridge, and we also went to investigate at the time, the tent and so on are real."

"It's just that temperature. I don't know what caused it? It feels like the human body is right."

"But we have all seen the surrounding terrain. There is almost no other choice but to climb up the dam, but people just disappear out of thin air like this."

"I see." Also after being reminded by Yuan Shasha, Gu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said quickly:

"Someone is lying, and that person is the duty officer of the reservoir dam."

"Worth... the on-duty officer?" Officer Wang's heart skipped a beat when he heard the name.

Gu Chen snapped his fingers and continued to analyze with everyone:

"We missed an important clue, which is that the watchman can fully meet all the conditions."

"At that time, we focused our investigation on Wang Xinyu."

"Because I learned from the fish seller that Wang Xinyu may live under the pier."

"So, our first reaction was that Wang Xinyu's residence might be inside that tent. This kind of fixed concept is the reason why we were tricked."

"Uh... Junior Brother Gu, can you speak more clearly?" Lu Weiwei seemed to understand a little bit, but she couldn't speak.

Gu Chen continued to remind: "Think about it, if Wang Xinyu is not in the tent, who kept the temperature in the tent? Or, who is the most likely?"

"On duty?" Lu Weiwei said.

Gu Chen flicked his fingers: "It's him. We went to the duty room to check, and he also showed us the surveillance, which proved that no one passed by the intersection of the dam."

"This shows that Wang Xinyu never climbed up, so he stayed in the tent for a while and left the residual temperature."

"Who is the person who can quickly climb to the top of the dam before we rush to the bottom of the bridge pier, and then accept our police investigation safely without being detected by surveillance?"

"It's the person on duty." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei slapped her thigh, as if she had suddenly realized.

Officer Wang also nodded silently: "That's right, we overlooked an important detail, that is the duty officer, he can pretend that he has been staying in the duty room."

"As long as he doesn't go to the monitoring position, it's fine, it means he has been staying in the duty room."

"But if he was the person in the tent under the pier at that time, then everything can be explained."

"This can also explain why Wang Xinyu was clearly in the tent, but suddenly disappeared under our noses."

"Because this Wang Xinyu doesn't exist at all, and the person who pretends to be Wang Xinyu is the person on duty."

It was also after Officer Wang's explanation that the scene suddenly became quiet.

It can be said that the puzzle that has been troubling everyone has finally been solved at this moment. …

Everyone has been trapped in a fixed mindset before, and they all went to investigate Wang Xinyu, but no one thought, if that person was not Wang Xinyu, how would the other party escape?

But now, everyone suddenly realized.

"It seems that it is really him." Gu Chen took a deep breath and said slowly:

"But if it's the person on duty, it means that the person on duty also has a great relationship with Wang Xinyu."

"And why did Wang Xinyu live under the pier? There may be a big reason, because the dam watchman at that time had known Wang Xinyu for a long time."

"Wang Xinyu lives under the dam and can receive supplies from the watchman."

"However, it may be just a stopgap measure for Wang Xinyu to stay under the pier."

"But in this way, it means that the person on duty at the reservoir is also related to that rotting corpse."

"My God!" Hearing Gu Chen's analysis with the team members here, forensic doctor Gao Chuanfeng was also taken aback for a while, and couldn't help but say:

"I said Gu Chen, this incident really doesn't look so simple."

"This little Wang Xinyu almost stirred up your entire team."

"Besides, Wang Xinyu also has the reservoir watchman to help, so I suggest you, it is best to investigate the details of the reservoir watchman."

"Well, that's exactly what I meant." Hearing Gao Chuanfeng's suggestion, Gu Chen immediately picked up his mobile phone and dialed He Junchao's phone number in the office.

Not long after, He Junchao got on the phone, and Gu Chen also cut to the chase:

"Senior Brother He, I need you to help me investigate a person."

"Let's talk, Gu Chen." He Junchao on the other end of the phone seemed to be ready.

Gu Chen said directly: "On the side of the Rainbow Bridge near the Municipal Bureau, there is a small reservoir, and the reservoir administrator on duty, we suspect that he has a close relationship with Wang Xinyu."

"so……"

"I understand." Before Gu Chen finished speaking, He Junchao understood:

"I will investigate him immediately. Is he still on duty in the morning?"

"That's right." Gu Chen said.

"Understood, leave this to me."

The two also communicated for a while, and then they both hung up the phone.

Sometimes, everyone's tacit understanding is there, and it only needs a few simple explanations from the other party, and everyone can understand each other.

As a result, the dialogue between the two sides, although brief, can understand each other.

Gu Chen put down the phone and continued to sit on the sofa and think quietly.

At the same time, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha and Gao Chuanfeng also got together to continue the discussion.

Looking at everyone, Gu Chen began to think about all the people he came into contact with since he received the blood book.

These people keep popping up in my mind.

Including the two staff members of Binjiang Freight Yard, Uncle Zhong from Commercial Street, Wang Xinyu's landlord, Boss Zhang from the Roast Duck Shop, and Zhang Jun who sent Wang Xinyu to the city bureau next door.

These people, like projections, kept reappearing in Gu Chen's mind, including the content of their conversation with him, and began to keep recalling in his ears.

"Who among these people has close contact with Wang Xinyu? Why did Wang Xinyu avoid the police when he did these things?"...

"What is she afraid of? Why doesn't she dare to show up in public?"

"There is also this reservoir watchman, why did he help Wang Xinyu to avoid the police's pursuit?"

"Without this reservoir watchman, perhaps Wang Xinyu would not have put the hiding place under the Rainbow Bridge at all."

After a pause, Gu Chen continued to ask himself: "This reservoir attendant, is he an accomplice of Wang Xinyu? Or is it that the reservoir attendant is behind everything Wang Xinyu has done?"

"Wang Xinyu revealed the matter of the corpse, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Or, Wang Xinyu is just a pawn from the beginning to the end? And what is the real purpose of the operator?"

Various questions kept flashing through Gu Chen's mind.

At the same time, Gu Chen's cell phone rang suddenly.

Everyone who was discussing various things just now also stopped discussing at this moment, and looked at Gu Chen in unison.

Gu Chen directly clicked on the speakerphone, connected the phone and said, "Senior Brother He, how is it?"

"I have checked this person, his name is Wang Jiayao." He Junchao said on the phone.

Gu Chen hummed: "We know his name is Wang Jiayao, I just want to know, has he acted abnormally in the past few days?"

"Yes." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, He Junchao on the other end of the phone quickly explained to everyone:

"I found that Wang Jiayao seems to have bought a lot of food in recent days and brought it into the reservoir duty room."

"Reminiscent of what you said, that Wang Xinyu is temporarily hiding under the Rainbow Bridge. Perhaps these foods are prepared for her."

"So, I started to investigate again. I investigated Wang Jiayao's on-duty status in the last 10 days."

"I found an interesting pattern. He is usually on duty and basically doesn't bring any food, and he doesn't seem to have the habit of eating snacks."

"But these days, when he came to work, he was carrying snacks in his hand. That's the problem."

"These snacks may be prepared for Wang Xinyu." As soon as He Junchao finished speaking, Lu Weiwei couldn't wait to answer:

"We investigated Zhang Jun who sent her to the city bureau. Zhang Jun once explained that Wang Xinyu only brought a small amount of clothes."

"As for food? There is none at all. That's why we went to the community near the Municipal Bureau to investigate early in the morning, just to see how she, Wang Xinyu, solves the food problem."

"But I didn't find anything. Only an old fish seller said that he saw Wang Xinyu staying under the Rainbow Bridge."

"But in this way, won't she have to rely on the reservoir watchman for food supplies these days?"

"It seems that the person on duty at the reservoir really has a problem." Seeing this situation, Yuan Shasha hurriedly said:

"Brother Gu, he should be arrested immediately."

"Well, it's not too late, Gu Chen, you should make plans early." Officer Wang also hurriedly said.

Gu Chen nodded silently, stood up immediately, and said, "Go to the reservoir immediately."

...

...

After leaving the technical department of the Municipal Bureau, Gu Chen and the others drove quickly to the direction of the previous reservoir.

Since he was basically familiar with the surrounding roads, Gu Chen chose to drive past the city bureau on the right side.

In this way, it is possible to drive directly across the Rainbow Bridge.

Therefore, Gu Chen passed a fork and circled road of the Rainbow Bridge, and entered a trail around it.

Then drive from the trail to the direction of the reservoir.

At this moment, the front gate of the reservoir is still closed.

After getting off the car, Gu Chen hurried to the gate of the reservoir and rang the doorbell.

However, what puzzled Gu Chen was that the duty officer of the reservoir once said that as long as someone rings the doorbell at the iron gate, he will be able to hear the movement in the duty room.

But now, no matter how Gu Chen rang the bell, it seemed that the other party just didn't respond.

Seeing this situation, Lu Weiwei walked up to Gu Chen, raised her fist and began to smash on the door.

With the huge movement of "哐哐哐" constantly ringing around the reservoir, the gate was still closed tightly without any movement.

These made Gu Chen confused, and quickly turned to look at Police Officer Wang, and asked, "Senior Brother Wang, when you came here, how did he open the door for you?"

"I just knocked a few times and saw a doorbell button here, so I pressed it."

"It didn't take long to hear a 'click' from the door, and then the door opened."

"Besides, this guy hurried out to meet me." Officer Wang said.
