Chapter 2068

"Understood, of course I understand, you must cooperate with your police investigation work." Peng Yu sniffed, feeling a little difficult for himself now.

After all, according to Gu Chen, he does have serious suspicions.

The police's investigation of clues has always been based on factual evidence, not just the other party's mouth.

But now, Peng Yu seems to be unable to produce key evidence to prove that he did not have any time to commit the crime last night.

So he suggested again: "Comrade police, if you don't believe me, you can ask the owner of the small shop, I last night..."

"No need to ask." Seeing that Peng Yu was still explaining, Lu Weiwei hurriedly replied:

"We have investigated, you did go to the supermarket to buy items last night, but that doesn't mean anything?"

"Because during the period of Liu Yi's death, you had time to commit the crime, and there was no evidence to prove that you were not at the scene."

"And this kind of coincidence seems to be very bad for you."

"I……"

It seemed that he was speechless by the police, but now Peng Yu tried his best to clear himself up, so Peng Yu immediately said:

"Oh, by the way, Liu Yi's girlfriend, I almost forgot about it."

Seems to be remembering something? Peng Yu suddenly looked up at the crowd as if grasping at a straw, and said:

"Liu Yixin's girlfriend, I once accidentally found her in an alley, discussing something with a strange man?"

"The eyes of the two people kept looking around, very alert."

"I felt at the time that the relationship between these two people was unusual, and I was very afraid that other people would find out."

Hearing Peng Yu's remarks, Gu Chen frowned, and also reminded, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, I'm pretty sure, but it happened a few days ago and I'm only remembering it now."

It seems that if it weren't for Gu Chen and the others' pressing questions, Peng Yu still hasn't figured out the status.

After all, the first thing the police wanted to investigate about Liu Yi's death must be the people who had been in frequent contact with Liu Yi these days, and he happened to be one of them.

Gu Chen looked at Peng Yu's surprised expression, and the situation he just said, and suddenly had a trace of doubt.

Gu Chen's suspicion was not that Peng Yu was lying, but that he suspected Zhou Min's situation.

Because according to what Bao Chen knew about Zhou Min, this should be a scheming woman who can walk among many men.

Among them, Xu Tiankai and the deceased Liu Yi are the best Liezi, and Zhou Min can almost achieve a seamless connection.

However, apart from these two, does Zhou Min have any deep relationships with other men? Gu Chen is currently unable to grasp it.

But from Peng Yu's mouth, it seems that Zhou Min is still in frequent contact with other men besides Xu Tiankai and Liu Yi.

So Gu Chen asked him again for confirmation: "Where did you see that day?"

"On... on the way I must go to sell barbecue." After the words fell, Peng Yu immediately pointed in the direction of the entrance of the village in the city:

"That is, to go out from here, you need to pass through an intersection over there."

"And that day, I remember it was around 4:30 p.m., and I happened to be out of the stall at that time, so when I passed by there, I happened to find that in the alley on the left, Liu Yixin's girlfriend was discussing something with a man."

"And then?" Seeing that Peng Yu still knew something, Police Officer Wang hurriedly asked.

Peng Yu also scratched the back of his head, trying to recall the situation that day, and said involuntarily:

"Then...then I found out that these two people seem to be old acquaintances. Because of the chatting process, both of them are very relaxed."

"The man was sitting on the ground next to him smoking a cigarette while Lewis' new girlfriend, she was leaning against the wall."

"Besides, the two of them were very wary of people passing by. I just took a second look, and the two of them immediately became vigilant."

"Because I had seen Liu Yi's new girlfriend's photo on his phone when I was having dinner with him, so I know her, so I'm sure I can't make a mistake."

"Then, do you know this man?" Yuan Shasha said.

"No... I don't know him, and I haven't seen him before." Peng Yu suddenly shook his head.

Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, then asked Peng Yu: "Then you know the general appearance, right?"

"Clear." Thinking about what he saw that day, Peng Yu also thought about it and said:

"I remember that this man was tall and thin, wearing a pair of light blue jeans, and his top was a black suit with a white bottoming shirt inside."

After thinking for a while, Peng Yu said again: "Oh, by the way, the man seems to have tattoos on the back of his hand, because when he was smoking, the tattoo on the back of his hand happened to light up, and I saw it."

"As for other situations? Sorry, I only see so much."

When Peng Yu's voice fell, Gu Chen suddenly hesitated.

After all, according to Peng Yu's narration, Gu Chen found more and more that this man's appearance and characteristics seemed to have similarities with Xu Tiankai.

Because Gu Chen and Xu Tiankai once stayed together in the alley.

At that time, Xu Tiankai was also sitting on a wooden box, smoking a cigarette.

At that time, Gu Chen also inadvertently discovered that there seemed to be a totem tattooed on the back of Xu Tiankai's smoking hand.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen quickly took out his mobile phone and showed Xu Tiankai's information picture:

"Is that the man you saw that day?"

"Uh..." Peng Yu bowed forward, observed carefully for a few seconds, then nodded slowly and said:

"That's right, that man seems to be the one in your photo."

"It's him?" After learning about Peng Yu's words, Lu Weiwei couldn't believe it, and hurriedly said, "Are you sure you read it right?"

It seemed that he was a little flustered by Lu Weiwei's question, so Peng Yu glanced at Gu Chen's phone screen again, and then said with certainty: "It can't be wrong, it's this person."

"What day is it?" Officer Wang asked again.

"Three days ago, because I remember that day, before I left the stall, I went out for a stroll, and I happened to see a storefront for rent, so I was quite clear about the time of that day."

"Okay." Seeing that Peng Yu will explain the situation, he also explained everything clearly.

Gu Chen took back the notebook, and then reminded: "During this time, don't leave Jiangnan City casually, please keep your mobile phone turned on 24 hours a day."

"If there is a situation, I hope you will cooperate with our police investigation at any time."

"Of course." Hearing Gu Chen's words, Peng Yu finally heaved a sigh of relief, and echoed:

"As long as there is anything that needs my help, I will definitely help, and I hope you will find the murderer who killed my friend Liu Yi quickly."

"I don't have many friends in Jiangnan City. Liu Yi is the best one. Although I don't like his temper, we are good brothers. I am very sad about his death."

"I understand your feelings." Gu Chen put away the equipment, and then said: "That's it."

After the two groups exchanged a few simple greetings, Gu Chen walked out of the village in the city along the way he came.

According to Peng Yu's words, he found the alley he mentioned.

Coming to the entrance of the alley, Gu Chen searched the ground carefully, and found some cigarette butts in the corner of the wall.

Gu Chen immediately squatted down to check carefully, and picked up one of them to recall.

Since Gu Chen has a master-level memory, he quickly remembered that he helped Xu Tiankai out of the alley that day.

The cigarette that Xu Tiankai smoked at that time was the one in his hand.

Since they were all cigarette butts, but in order to confirm Peng Yu's statement, Gu Chen still took out the transparent evidence bag after taking photos at the scene, and put these cigarette butts into it one by one.

"Junior Brother Gu, do you think this is Xu Tiankai's cigarette?" Lu Weiwei came to Gu Chen's side and asked curiously.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "If Peng Yu didn't deceive us, then there is a high probability that these cigarette butts belong to Xu Tiankai."

"Because Xu Tiankai smokes a lot, and the brand loyalty of smokers to cigarettes is quite high."

"And I also looked around. Except for this place, there are the same cigarette butts, there are no cigarette butts in other places, which shows that Peng Yu is not lying."

Looking up at the crowd, Gu Chen said again: "And if things are really as Peng Yu said, Xu Tiankai was here three days ago, discussing things with Zhou Min."

"Then we will be able to verify this statement by using these cigarette butts."

"Well, it makes sense to hear what you said, but I don't understand one thing." Hearing Gu Chen's explanation, Police Officer Wang with his arms crossed also expressed his doubts:

"Gu Chen, you said that Xu Tiankai lost contact with his girlfriend Zhou Min a long time ago."

"And this Xu Tiankai even asked you for help in order to find Zhou Min."

"But if that's the case, Zhou Min's disappearance should not have been very long, at most two days, but why? Xu Tiankai wants to say that he has been missing for a long time?"

"Maybe it's because you are anxious, so you exaggerated the statement?" Yuan Shasha on the side also expressed her views in full.

Gu Chen shook his head, with a blank expression on his face: "I don't know this yet, and I can't be sure."

"However, if Peng Yu didn't lie, then Xu Tiankai might be the one who lied."

"Xu Tiankai?" Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha spoke in unison.

Gu Chen nodded slightly, and continued: "That's right, Xu Tiankai is indeed suspected of lying."

"If Xu Tiankai's girlfriend, Zhou Min, suddenly disappeared some time ago, who would be the person who was talking to Zhou Min in this alley three days ago?"

"But if Xu Tiankai and Zhou Min met three days ago, and the two are still discussing things, it means that there is no so-called barrier between them."

"Also, what Xu Tiankai said about Zhou Min's sudden disappearance doesn't seem to be true."

"My God!" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei suddenly became alert:

"Junior Brother Gu, do you think that Liu Yi's death may have something to do with Xu Tiankai and Zhou Min?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Under Lu Weiwei's prompt, Gu Chen was already thinking about this.

I thought it was a simple murder, but now it seems that things are far from that simple.

The Xu Tiankai I knew, perhaps invisibly, had already been involved in this murder.

Gu Chen even began to doubt whether the relationship between Xu Tiankai and Zhou Min was a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend? Or a partnership?

Is Zhou Min joining forces with the deceased Liu Yi to plot against Xu Tiankai? Or Zhou Min and Xu Tiankai to plot Liu Yi together?

Thinking of this, Gu Chen also sighed softly, and said, "Go back first, and find Zhou Min."

Several people also returned to the police car, and at this time, the patrolman who was in charge of searching for the black motorcycle for Gu Chen directly called.

Sitting in the driver's seat of the vehicle, Gu Chen pressed the answer button directly: "Hello."

"Gu Ju, we have already found the locomotive you asked us to look for."

On the phone, it was a colleague from the patrol team reporting the situation.

Gu Chen hurriedly asked: "How?"

"We checked the locomotive, and it was parked in a forest not far from the Furong Bridge, and it seemed to have been deliberately covered by plants." The patrolman on the phone said.

Gu Chen said again: "You inform Senior Brother Ding of the criminal investigation team and ask him to bring someone over to collect evidence."

"Okay, let's call now."

The two also communicated briefly, and then they both hung up the phone.

It will be a matter of time before the motorcycle of the deceased Lewis is found.

However, after hearing the explanation from the policeman, Gu Chen suddenly felt that the murderer was really guilty. After killing Liu Yi, he even hid Liu Yi's motorcycle.

No matter how it looks, this looks like a long-planned murder.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Chen, who was lying on the seat, suddenly fell into deep thought.

On the one hand, let Lu Weiwei notify He Junchao to find Zhou Min's whereabouts as soon as possible; on the other hand, Gu Chen is also thinking about other clues that have been missed in this matter.

Lu Weiwei, who had just finished the call, also hung up the phone, and then said with a long sigh of relief:

"I have already told He Junchao about our investigation. He Junchao will investigate whether Xu Tiankai and Zhou Min appeared in that alley at around 4:30 p.m. three days ago."

"Also, I have asked He Junchao to search for Zhou Min's whereabouts immediately, and we should be able to find her soon."

Seeing Gu Chen closing his eyes and resting his mind, just nodded slightly after listening to his report, Lu Weiwei also sighed softly, and said helplessly:

"Your Junior Brother Gu's friend is also real. It seems that he is hiding many things from you."

"Yes." As soon as Lu Weiwei's voice fell, Yuan Shasha on the side also echoed:

"Brother Gu thought about helping Xu Tiankai find Zhou Min's whereabouts before, but now it seems that this is not the case at all."

"Haha." Listening to the hot discussion of several people, Police Officer Wang sitting in the back row couldn't help laughing and said:

"In the beginning, everyone wanted to persuade Xu Tiankai so that Xu Tiankai would know the truth about Zhou Min as soon as possible."

"But now it seems that we are the ones being tricked."

Sighing lightly, Police Officer Wang also smiled wryly and said: "Sometimes, you must not try to persuade a person with earnest words. There is a saying that Coptis chinensis is useless in saving people, and ginseng is useless in killing people."

"Because the vast majority of people would rather die amidst sweet words than be reborn amid harsh words."

"I always thought that what can convince a person is never the truth, but the south wall."

"And what can awaken a person is never teaching, but suffering. Perhaps only one percent of a person's true awakening depends on other people's reminders, and the remaining ninety-nine percent depends on Cut to pieces."

"Old Wang, can you say something nice? Why do you feel that you are yin and yang?" Lu Weiwei also couldn't understand Comrade Wang's remarks, so she couldn't help but tease her.

But Gu Chen snorted and said, "It seems that I was the one who hit the wall this time."
