90. This is born from the same root
"Who's—who's down there?" Officer Wang suddenly stopped moving, and was so frightened that he climbed two steps up.
Gu Chen hurriedly stuck to the ground, he aimed the flashlight at the ground, and then slowly moved around, in the corner of the basement, a dark night was slowly moving.
"Is it a person or a ghost, don't think I'm afraid of you?" Officer Wang's back was already soaked in cold sweat, but his expression was still very calm, and the baton and flashlight in his hand were tightly clenched together.
This is a closed basement, and if there are people underneath it, it is impossible to climb up without the help of a bamboo ladder.
Gu Chen shone the flashlight on the black shadow, and the other party didn't seem to dare to move, unable to move due to the strong light.
Because the strong flashlight used by Gu Chen is a police configuration, it can make people dizzy or blind in less than a second, and the blinding time can last for one minute.
In addition, there is an attack head in the anterior segment, which has the effect of attacking pain and subduing.
Under normal circumstances, bright light is not allowed to be aimed at a person's face unless it is necessary.
But now, the two strong flashlights were aimed at the black shadow, illuminating the black shadow so that it couldn't move, and at this moment there was a cry of pain.
"Senior Brother Wang, you are human. Gu Chen observed for a moment before he confirmed.
The black shadow in front of him seemed to be wearing a thin blanket, a ponytail, and a very messy hairstyle.
After Officer Wang jumped down, Gu Chen also followed, and the two slowly approached the target.
"Who the hell are you, and why are you being held here?" asked Officer Wang, removing the light.
"I'm Takasugi, who are you?" the man replied after a few painful snorts.
At this moment, Officer Wang and Gu Chen looked at each other, feeling that there was something wrong with their ears?
Gu Chen stepped forward and saw that the man's appearance was exactly the same as Gao Shan's, both with a ponytail.
"Strange, when did Takasugi come here? He was still at the police station. Officer Wang was also taken aback by this strange thing, and wondered if he was hallucinating.
The weird hut, the weird person, is actually Takasugi who was detained at the police station.
"Senior Brother Wang, they may be twins. Gu Chen was also startled at first, but after thinking calmly, he felt that the people in the basement should be twin brothers with Gao Shan.
"Who the hell are you?" the man closed his eyes, a look of astonishment.
"We are police. Gu Chen replied.
"Police?" The man was also surprised, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said, "Could it be that my brother who is not angry is causing trouble outside again?"
"So, you do have a twin brother?" Gu Chen was a little overjoyed, and then asked, "Then you should be Teacher Aguta?"
The man was also stunned suddenly, but he didn't reply immediately, but waited for his eyes to slowly recover, and then carefully looked at Gu Chen and Officer Wang in front of him.
Looking at the police uniforms of the two, the ponytail man was finally sure that everything in front of him was ...... It's all true.
"Are you really a policeman? I'm not dreaming, are you?" the man rubbed his eyes and stood up, but there was a sudden sound of metal scraping on his feet.
Gu Chen and Officer Wang lowered their heads, also shocked by the scene in front of them.
The man's ankle was actually locked by a long iron chain.
"How can this be? Who caught you here?" Officer Wang was also startled by the scene in front of him, and he immediately crouched down and tried to break the chain that trapped the man.
But after trying it, he gave up, because the chain was so thick that it couldn't be opened without a key.
"Senior Brother Wang, let's find 119, only they have the tools to open it. Gu Chen gave a suggestion.
Officer Wang immediately agreed: "Okay, then you can make a phone call, and by the way, notify Lu Weiwei and ask her to lead the way for the fire brigade." ”
It would take some time to wait for the arrival of the fire brigade, so Gu Chen and Officer Wang simply put the flashlight aside, sat next to the ponytail man, and began to ask about the specific situation.
Gu Chen pointed the law enforcement recorder at the ponytailed man and asked, "Mr. Takasugi, are you a painter?"
The man nodded, "That's right, I am." ”
"Who is the man who locked you in the small dark room outside?" Gu Chen took out his notebook and began to make a brief record.
The man also relaxed his vigilance, leaned against the wall and said, "It's my twin brother, Gao Yang." ”
"Then why are you locked up here by him?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Because...... Because of the money. The man smiled and shook his head: "My younger brother is a gambler, and since he has been involved in this bad habit, he has already incurred millions of debts outside. ”
"So, you've always been helping him pay off his debts?" Gu Chen stared at Gao Shan and said calmly.
"That's right. The man nodded, and told the two of them about the situation between himself and his younger brother Gao Yang: "I have been a little painter since I was a child, and I showed a talent for painting at a very young age, so I embarked on this path. ”
"I found out that you and Gao Yang are both quite withdrawn people, is there any reason for this?" Officer Wang couldn't help but be curious.
Takasugi smiled and asked, "Is there any smoke?"
Officer Wang simply took out a pack of three-yuan cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to him along with the lighter: "Here." ”
Takasugi smiled: "It seems that the salary of the police is not high." ”
"Don't talk about that, let's talk about yourself. Officer Wang didn't want to tell him the fact that he had to pay his wife every month.
"Since my parents died in a car accident, things have changed in my family. Takasugi lit a cigarette and puffed on the smoke, "We were boarded at a relative's house, and we became unattended children, and I kept drawing, while my younger brother Gao Yang began to become a gambler, and I have helped him pay off most of his debts." ”
"But you can't help him pay off his debt for the rest of his life. The transcript in Gu Chen's hand was fast, and his eyes were always fixed on Gao Shan.
"Little comrade, you are very right. Gao Sugi smiled and said: "After my persuasion failed again and again, I decisively refused to help Gao Yang repay his debts, but my younger brother, since he knew that I had a work worth millions and was exhibited in the capital a month ago, he had a crooked idea, he trapped me here and forced me to tell me the whereabouts of the painting." ”
Gu Chen suddenly stopped writing, and he carefully looked at the situation around him.
This small basement, except for a tiny vent, is almost isolated from the outside world.
In addition, this site is not far from the river buoys, and many tugboats will make loud whistles when they pass by, and the noise will drown out all the surrounding movements, so even if Takasugi yells for help at the vent, it is estimated that no one will hear it.
"What a brother, if I have such a brother, I promise to kill him. Officer Wang also became more and more angry the more he listened, and said in his heart, what is this called?
locked his brother in the basement, pretending to be his brother's identity, and even called the police to say that the painting was stolen, trying to use the resources of the police to find the work of Takasugi.
Thinking about it this way, the fake Takasugi who was detained in the police station did something that was simply hateful.
It's the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other?
Gu Chen also had a general understanding of the case......
Previously, he used his upgraded specialization-level observation power to discover the canary's small clues, and then used master-level reasoning to find a new direction to solve the case, so that the investigation of this absurd theft case came to light.
At that time, when I speculated in front of Officer Wang that the real Ah Guta might be kidnapped by this impersonating Gao Yang, I was actually very conflicted in my heart, and I would definitely not dare to say it before.
But all the reasonable reasoning at that time pointed in this direction, and now it seems to be completely correct, and Gu Chen is also more confident in his previous reasoning.
When all the inquiries were completed, there was a sudden noise above the basement.
After a few lights swept down, I heard Lu Weiwei shouting from above: "Senior Brother Gu, Lao Wang, the comrades from the fire brigade are here, are you okay?"
