Seremban Branch, inside the three group offices.

It didn't take much effort to track down Zhao Feng, but after He Junchao dialed the phone to communicate, Zhao Feng immediately agreed to come over to assist in the investigation, and the promise was quite refreshing.

This came as a surprise to everyone......

In just an hour, a white BMW sedan also drove steadily into the Furong branch.

The bald driver who got out of the car was none other than Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng directly followed the prompts of the police officers and came to the door of the third group office.

"Tuk tuk" knocked on the door three times, which attracted the attention of all the staff in the office.

"Excuse me...... This is the third criminal investigation team, right?" Zhao Feng said as he took off his glasses.

"Isn't it written on the house number?" Officer Wang stood up and came to him.

Zhao Feng looked Officer Wang up and down, and then said indifferently: "Hello, I'm Zhao Feng, what do you need help with me coming to the Furong Branch?"

"Does Zhao Qi know him?" Gu Chen suddenly walked up from behind Officer Wang and asked him.

Zhao Feng was stunned, and then said with a smile: "You said Zhao Qi, of course I know, he is my brother, and we have a very iron relationship." ”

Seeing that Gu Chen's expression did not fluctuate, Zhao Feng, who knew that his trap was almost ineffective, immediately retracted the smile just now: "So, you called me over just to understand Zhao Qi?"

"He was strangled to death in the grass of the forest apartment in the western suburbs, don't you know?" Gu Chen asked again.

Zhao Feng was stunned, his mouth couldn't help but slowly open, and instantly turned into an O-shape: "Zhao ...... Zhao Qi is dead......? How is this possible? This is absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible ......."

As Zhao Feng spoke, he took out his mobile phone and began to dial Zhao Qi's number.

But no matter how Zhao Feng dialed, Zhao Qi's phone was always unanswered, which made Zhao Feng suddenly nervous.

He looked at Gu Chen tremblingly, and asked him weakly, "...... So, what you're saying is true?"

"We are policemen, what's in it for us to lie to you?" Lu Weiwei also paused on the table, and then walked up to him and said, "If there is no problem, can we communicate in another place?"

"Yes...... OK. Zhao Feng didn't know what to say at the moment.

It seems that Zhao Qi's death also touched him a lot.

With all kinds of incomprehension and doubts, Zhao Feng followed Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang to the No. 2 interrogation room of the substation.

He was placed in an interrogation chair in the iron bar opposite.

Zhao Feng, who was sitting there like a pins and needles, looked at his surroundings from time to time, and asked weakly: "Police...... Comrade policeman, can you ask for a glass of water? ”

"Do you want tea?" asked Gu Chen.

"That's not necessary, I'm just thirsty. Saying this, Zhao Feng couldn't help but pull his collar.

Gu Chen fulfilled his wish, poured him a glass of water next to the water dispenser, and placed it on the tablet on the interrogation chair.

Zhao Feng took a sip of boiled water, and then said: "Comrade policeman, if you have anything to ask, I am really sad about the death of Brother Zhao Qi, if I can help you and find the murderer as soon as possible, I will definitely do my best." ”

"Thank you for your cooperation. Gu Chen returned to his seat, opened the transcript, and asked, "I want to know, where were you in the early morning three days ago?"

Zhao Feng frowned, and after thinking about it carefully, he said, "I remember that in the early morning of three days ago, I should have been on the river ship heading to the Demon Capital, and I was sleeping in the cabin at that time. ”

"Are you on the river wheel?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help frowning slightly, and continued to ask, "Are you sure?"

"There's something uncertain about that. Thinking of this, Zhao Feng hurriedly lowered his head, looked for it in the black leather bag he was carrying, took out a crumpled ticket, and handed it to the three of them with both hands: "This is my ticket stub." ”

Gu Chen got up and came directly to him.

After checking the ticket, he confirmed to Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei: "It is indeed the river ferry ticket that sailed to Modu three days ago, and the departure time is 1 o'clock at noon." ”

"That doesn't necessarily prove that you're on the ship, right?" Officer Wang asked again with a skeptical tone, "You can just say how you can prove yourself." ”

"It's easy. Zhao Feng didn't seem surprised, and said indifferently: "I was going to drive to the magic capital, but because my driver's license has too many points, if there is another accident that violates traffic rules, then my driver's license points will definitely be deducted." ”

"So after thinking about it, I decided to drive the car to the river ship and take the river boat to the magic capital, and I bought a first-class seat, which was provided by the crew, and the crew on the river ship at that time could testify. ”

"But......" Lu Weiwei hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But what if you get off the boat halfway?"

"No way. Zhao Feng directly retorted back: "Our river ship set sail from Jiangnan City and arrived at Modu Port, and it will not stop at any port on the way." ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Feng seemed to have discovered something, so he said, "What do you mean? Are you suspecting me? Are you suspecting me of killing Zhao Qi?"

Gu Chen looked back at Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei, didn't speak, and sat back in his seat.

However, at this time, Zhao Feng was unhappy, and said angrily: "Comrade policeman, Zhao Qi is my brother, I am very sad for his death, and I am willing to cooperate with you to come here to investigate." ”

"However, you doubt me, I don't agree a hundred times, he Zhao Qi is my brother. ”

"Zhao Feng's clue, please calm down first. Officer Wang also squinted, and Zhao Feng's rebuttal seemed to need to be verified.

On the other hand, after Gu Chen finished filming the ferry ticket and Zhao Feng's appearance, he sent it directly to He Junchao, asking He Junchao to verify the truth as soon as possible.

While waiting, Gu Chen asked some questions about Zhao Qi's personality and his family.

But Zhao Feng didn't talk much, and he didn't seem to want to say more.

Fifteen minutes later, Gu Chen got a verified reply from He Junchao.

Indeed, according to He Junchao's contact with the river ship, a number of crew members initially confirmed that Zhao Feng was indeed on the river ship in the early morning three days ago.

"How's it going?" asked Officer Wang on the side.

"That's right, Zhao Feng was indeed on the river ship in the early morning three days ago, and it was a first-class cabin, which can be confirmed by many crew members who were wearing at that time. Gu Chen said.

"That's right. As soon as he heard Gu Chen's investigation results, Zhao Feng was also relieved, and said with a long sigh of relief: "That night, I was about to go out of the cabin to breathe, and I bumped into a foreigner in the aisle. ”

"Of course, that foreigner was so arrogant that he was going to beat me, but of course I didn't do it, and immediately got into a scuffle with him in the aisle. ”

"There was a lot of movement, and a lot of passengers saw it, so if you don't believe it, you can ask and see if I'm lying. ”

Listening to Zhao Feng's seemingly watertight words, it made Gu Chen fall into deep thought.

According to the latest report sent by Forensic Doctor Liu of the Technical Department of the Municipal Bureau not long ago, the deceased Zhao Qi died in the early hours of the morning, which is consistent with Gu Chen's judgment.

But Zhao Feng, who had a close relationship with Zhao Qi at that time, was on the river wheel to the magic capital.

After learning about these circumstances, Officer Wang couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It seems that it shouldn't be Zhao Feng, he has an alibi." ”

"That's right. Lu Weiwei also frowned slightly, and said: "If this river ship departs from Jiangnan City and goes to the magic capital, without stopping at any port on the way, Zhao Feng will not have time to commit the crime at all." ”

"But ......" Thinking back, Lu Weiwei glanced at Gu Chen beside her and asked: "But Senior Brother Gu, Zhao Feng is the only person who has a close relationship with Zhao Qi, if it weren't for him, wouldn't it be very troublesome to investigate the murderer, who else?"

"There must be something wrong. Gu Chen frowned.

I also saw Zhao Feng, who was leisurely drinking water, lying on the seat, and seemed to have relaxed his vigilance.

He was just drinking water on his own, and his attention was not on the police.

According to Zhao Feng's alibi, he knew that he was excluded from the police's suspicion and had nothing to worry about.

"Zhao Feng. Since he couldn't ask for an alibi certificate, Gu Chen changed his mind and asked, "Is there a monetary exchange between you and Zhao Qi?"

At the moment when Gu Chen asked, Zhao Feng, who was drinking water, suddenly stopped moving, the paper cup in his hand hung in the air, and he didn't move for a long time.

He was stunned, then slowly lowered his arm and said, "I said comrade policeman, is this important?"

"It's important. Gu Chen said.

"That'...... All right. Zhao Feng nodded and said lightly: "There are indeed some money dealings between me and Zhao Qi, a few years ago, he gave me a sum of money to do business for me." ”

"How much?" asked Lu Weiwei.

"Big ...... It's probably hundreds of thousands. Zhao Feng said uncertainly.

Gu Chen turned his pen with his right hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao Feng, in our place, I want you to answer the specific number, how many hundreds of thousands? 200,000 is also hundreds of thousands, 990,000 is also hundreds of thousands, I need a specific number." ”

"Five...... 500,000 of them. Zhao Feng bowed his head silently, compared to the confidence just now, the current Zhao Feng seemed to be deliberately avoiding something.

However, everyone has investigated the bank flow in advance, and Zhao Feng's statement of borrowing 500,000 yuan is obviously completely inconsistent with the 1.2 million figure in everyone's investigation.

But after Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, and Officer Wang looked at each other, everyone seemed to know what they wanted.

Zhao Feng is lying, he is deliberately evading.

Gu Chen smiled indifferently and asked again: "Then did you return the 500,000 to Zhao Qi in the end?"

"Yes...... Yes, of course, I ...... We are buddies, we borrow and repay, and it is not difficult to borrow again, we all understand this truth. ”

"So what? You have paid off all the loans, is it a bank transfer?" Gu Chen asked again.

Zhao Feng nodded silently: "Yes, it's all paid off, it's a bank card transfer." ”

"Mr. Zhao. Lu Weiwei couldn't stand it anymore, and said directly: "Let me tell you the truth, we have investigated your bank transfer flow with Zhao Qi." ”

"The amount he gave you at the beginning was not 500,000, but 1.2 million, but you kept saying that it was 500,000, and this time it was not even half. ”

"Ah?!" Zhao Feng was suddenly stunned, as if he had been discovered by the police, and the whole person was also panicked.

"And. Seeing Lu Weiwei open the chatterbox, Gu Chen was not afraid, and continued to add: "It seems that you have never paid off this loan, right?"

"In the past two years, you have only started to send money frequently to Zhao Qi's account in the last two months, and the amount each time is not much, basically in the form of tens of thousands. ”

"That's it, you have only repaid 328,000 yuan in bank transfers so far, and there are other balances, aren't you ready to pay them back?"

"Or can Zhao Qi's accidental death allow you to indirectly not have to pay off the remaining arrears?"

It was also seeing Gu Chen say the amount of the figure so accurately, which made Zhao Feng suddenly realize, realizing that the police had investigated his bank statements in advance, and the whole person couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and his expression suddenly panicked.

"Absolutely...... Absolutely not. Zhao Feng hurriedly defended himself, and said, "That's right, I'...... I haven't paid off Zhao Qi's loan, but I've been working hard. ”

"Although the money sent each time is not much, there is one thing that I am executing. ”

"I'm just afraid that your police will misunderstand and misunderstand that Zhao Qi's death will be counted on my head because of the arrears. ”

"I'm also afraid that I will fall into this pool of sewage, so I said that the amount of arrears is small, and I lied to you that the arrears have been paid off, really, I'm just afraid of getting into trouble. ”

Looking at the three policemen in front of him, Zhao Feng, who was calm just now, his whole face changed at this moment, he became frightened, and he became a little crazy.

"Calm down. Officer Wang knocked on the table to keep Zhao Feng calm, and then looked at Gu Chen and asked, "Gu Chen, it's right that he is a deceitful, but at this point, we can't help him, after all, he has alibi evidence." ”

"That's right. Lu Weiwei also had a headache, and she said angrily: "The most important thing is this, this is the most troublesome." ”

"Zhao Qi died in the grass in the western suburbs of the forest park in the early morning three days ago, and Zhao Feng had already taken a boat to the magic capital in the early morning three days ago. ”

"And this vehicle ferry doesn't stop at any port on the way, even if he Zhao Feng wants to fly, he can't fly back to kill people." Officer Wang also added later, and the whole person looked quite helpless.

It seems that Zhao Feng lied, but the time of Zhao Qi's death when he was killed cannot coincide with Zhao Feng's location at that time.

These Gu Chen are very situational, and they have been thinking about it.

Just as Officer Wang's words fell, Gu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly turned around and asked him, "Senior Brother Wang, what did you just say?"

"I ...... What did I just do?"

"Just what you just said. Gu Chen said again.

Officer Wang looked up and thought about it, and replied slowly: "Just now Lu Weiwei said that he didn't have the time to commit the crime, and I said that this vehicle ferry doesn't stop at any port on the way, even if he Zhao Feng wants to fly, he can't fly back to kill people, is that it?"

Listening to Officer Wang's words, Gu Chen suddenly smiled, feeling that his thoughts seemed to have opened up a lot.

"Senior Brother Gu, what are you laughing at?" Seeing Gu Chen's expression change, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but ask him curiously.

Gu Chen didn't answer immediately, but closed his eyes and thought.

Soon, "Western Suburbs Forest Apartment", "Zhao Qi", "Zhao Feng", "The River Wheel That Set Sail from Jiangnan City to the Demon Capital", "White BMW Car", "Time of Death in the Early Morning".

All kinds of fragmented information suddenly began to emerge in Gu Chen's mind.

Gu Chen used master-level reasoning to compose this information into several modules in his mind, and then constantly reassemble and splic.

After a powerful brainwave collision, Gu Chen found that various scenes appeared in his mind accordingly.

"There is still one piece left, and one piece is still one piece away from completing the modular assembly operation. Just as Gu Chen closed his eyes and thought, a musical ringtone broke Gu Chen's meditation.

Gu Chen opened his eyes and saw that the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang, and it was Forensic Doctor Liu from the Technical Department of the Municipal Bureau who called.

Gu Chen pouted and smiled, didn't say a word, and directly opened the answer button: "Forensic Doctor Liu." ”

"Gu Chen, this Zhao Qi's corpse, we have already comprehensively tested it twice, according to the reference of the time of the crime provided to you before, I still have one more data to tell you here. ”

"It's a sleeping pill, right?" Gu Chen said.

There was a sudden pause on the other end of the phone, and Gu Chen seemed to clearly feel Forensic Liu's surprise through the subtle breathing on the phone.

"Right...... That's right, Hara...... So you know?" was also on the other end of the phone, after a brief pause for a few seconds, Forensic Doctor Liu said with a smile.

With this modular information, Gu Chen was suddenly overjoyed, which was completely consistent with his previous conjecture.

Gu Chen smiled faintly: "Forensic Doctor Liu, can this be determined?"

"Absolutely. Forensic Doctor Liu said with great certainty: "The deceased obviously took too many sleeping pills first, and then was strangled to death with a rope. ”

"Judging from various physical characteristics, it seems to be in line with my years of experience, this Zhao Qi must have been tricked into drinking sleeping pills by someone who used a small skill. ”

"Because if it were a normal person, he would not take such a large dose of sleeping pills at all, because there are instructions on the sleeping pills, and the person taking them will not be unaware. ”

When Gu Chen heard this, he also agreed very much: "Forensic Doctor Liu, what you said is very right, it is indeed unlikely that the deceased Zhao Qi will take sleeping pills by himself, this probability is not large." ”

On the contrary, it is very likely that the murderer tricked him into drinking, because the murderer wants to create a suitable time to commit the crime, only in this way, the murderer can complete the seemingly impossible murder at a specific time. ”

After a pause, Gu Chen said with a smile: "Thank you Forensic Doctor Liu, I know, this call of yours is very critical, I will invite you to dinner another day." ”

"Haha, really? really helps you in handling the case?" Forensic Doctor Liu was also quite surprised.

The help to Gu Chen is also a help to himself, but to be able to help this proud protégé, Forensic Doctor Liu is quite proud.

"That's it, we'll talk another day. ”

Gu Chen hung up the phone in a few simple words of ridicule with Forensic Doctor Liu.

He looked at Zhao Feng with an indifferent face in front of him at this moment, and seemed to have a clear decision in his heart.

......
