12 o'clock noon.

Furong Branch, Interrogation Room No. 2.

Carrying four portions of beef fried noodles packaged by the roadside, Gu Chen placed one of them in front of the old man and said with a smile: "I treated you to crock pot soup last night, and today I treat you to beef fried noodles."

"Thank you, comrade police." The old man sat up and down obediently, as polite as a child.

He paused with his chopsticks, and ceremonially picked up the fried noodles. Then he stuffed them into his mouth and devoured them, and his mouth couldn't help but let out a "tsk, tsk" of satisfaction.

"Yeah! This is the taste. I like to eat the fried noodles here."

"That's because you visited Jixiang Jewelry Company many times and discovered the delicious secret of this noodle shop." Gu Chen also sat back in his seat, picked up the fried noodles and started eating.

In a serious place like the interrogation room, the police and the suspect ate at the same time, which was rare before Gu Chen arrived.

But then it became a habit...

The police officers handling the case no longer have to be aloof and have an overbearing attitude to interrogate. Instead, they communicate with each other in a warm and chatting way of dining.

Of course, Gu Chen was not too casual, he just discovered it when he was interrogating some cases before.

Conducting interrogations in this way, rather than sitting down and frightening the other party, can not only make the other party lower their guard, but also allow the other party to gradually understand their mistakes during the communication, thus achieving a certain degree of reformation.

Compared with interrogations by other departments, many suspects kept silent at the beginning, and both parties to the investigation could never find a topic to talk about at the beginning.

One party repeatedly slapped the table and glared, but it still had no effect. However, since the other party was the criminal, he did not accept this trick.

However, in several accidental interrogations, Gu Chen satisfied the other party's condition of being hungry, which actually made the other party's mentality begin to balance.

In the face of various evidences, many suspects initially gave clear explanations under the influence of Gu Chen.

This is why Gu Chen can understand these suspects better. After all, they are all human beings. If the problem can be solved through this kind of communication, why bother with a bowl of fried noodles?

Hearing Gu Chen's casual remarks, the old man suddenly looked shocked, and the fried noodles hung in his mouth without moving for a long time.

However, after calming down, the old man still stuffed the noodles into his mouth, smiled and said directly: "Comrade police, are you joking? Why are you not following the right rules? You have no idea what you are talking about?"

"You are not a skilled worker at all." Gu Chen walked to the water dispenser and first poured a glass of water for Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang.

Then he brought another two cups, one cup was placed on his table, and the other cup was brought to the old man, and he slowly put it down: "We have checked, you are a retired worker from a chemical plant, and you have always been a driver.

."

"And you have never done anything like repairing pipelines or repairing circuits before, not to mention that these young workers are not as good as you, right Mr. Yuan Shaogang?"

Yuan Shaogang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the police would have figured out his whereabouts so quickly, so he took the water glass with a forced smile, put it directly to his mouth and drank the water.

"You police officers are really interesting." Yuan Shaogang looked at Gu Chen and said calmly: "I haven't done it before, but I can learn from it."

"But all you learned was square dancing. You never delved into the skills of repairing pipelines. And you spent all your retirement time obsessed with square dancing."

"For this reason, you are also an elderly square dance star in the street office. Many old ladies are your loyal fans. Sometimes they are even jealous in order to dance with you. The one who brought us to you today

My aunt at home should be one of your fans."

After arresting Yuan Shaogang, Gu Chen specially asked Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong to investigate his various situations.

And he was investigating Yuan Shaogang's related experiences in the database.

However, the files show that Yuan Shaogang is basically among the top performers in the quarterly square dancing competitions for the elderly, and various awards also show that he is quite accomplished in square dancing for the elderly.

Wherever the efforts are, there will be achievements. Of course Gu Chen understands this.

But for such a person who is obsessed with elderly square dancing, he insists on saying that he is a pipeline maintenance worker, and also claims that he is a technician rehired by the company. This is a bit nonsense.

Also yesterday, Gu Chen and Yuan Shaogang had a few chats at the construction site at Rose Road Intersection, so Yuan Shaogang also knew that it was impossible to hide it, so he lowered his head and continued to pretend to eat noodles.

"Is it delicious?" Gu Chen asked.

"It's delicious." Yuan Shaogang said.

Gu Chen added: "After eating, tell us all the people who committed the crime together with you, as well as the stolen jewelry. Where did you move it? Hurry and tell us one by one."

"Comrade Police." Yuan Shaogang immediately put down his chopsticks and said aggrievedly: "I admit, I did brag a little in front of you yesterday."

"I'm actually not a technical worker, nor a rehired technical worker. I'm just a temporary worker, doing odd jobs at the emergency repair site. I'm not going to arrest you for bragging, right?"

"It seems you still don't admit it?" Lu Weiwei had finished eating the fried noodles. She packed the bag and threw it in the trash can behind her, then took out a tissue and dipped it in her mouth.

Yuan Shaogang was a little dissatisfied and looked straight at Lu Weiwei: "It's not that I don't admit it, it's not at all. I really went to do odd jobs and just wanted to brag in front of the police."

Glancing at Gu Chen, Yuan Shaogang immediately said: "I didn't expect that with my bragging, you policemen would misunderstand me and think that I was suspicious. Who should I ask to reason with?"

"That means that the underground vault of Jixiang Jewelry Company was stolen last night, and it has nothing to do with you?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Of course it doesn't matter. How can it be related?" Yuan Shaogang's eyes widened and he retorted directly: "I would say, there must be some misunderstanding between us, but it won't bring me here, right?"

"Okay." Gu Chen didn't talk nonsense to him, and then entered the information on his tablet computer about the five workers wearing reflective vests who got out of the silver-white box truck after it parked at about 9:30 last night.

Show it to him.

"Take a look, is this person here you?" Gu Chen walked up to him and tapped the screen.

Yuan Shaogang just glanced at it casually and quickly shook his head in denial: "It's not me, why is it me?"

"But this reflective vest belongs to you." Gu Chen said.

Yuan Shaogang was a little panicked at this moment, but he still smiled calmly: "Reflective vest? How is it possible? There are so many reflective vests, and you just say this one is mine. This...isn't this a slap in the face?"

"I'm not hating you." Gu Chen also smiled, then continued to expand the screen, pointed to one side of the reflective vest and said: "Half of the reflective strips on this reflective vest are missing, this one, this one

And this one, look carefully."

"Uh...it seems not, so what?" Yuan Shaogang was stunned and looked at Gu Chen again.

Gu Chen also smiled faintly, and then swiped the tablet.

At this moment, the picture appeared in another scene, and Gu Chen expanded the picture again.

At this moment, outside the noodle shop, an old man wearing a reflective vest was walking out carrying five packaged midnight snacks.

Gu Chen pointed at the characters in the picture and said: "Last night you ordered five beef fried noodles and asked for them to be packed away. Do you remember?"

Yuan Shaogang was stunned and didn't know what to say.

"Of course you remember." Gu Chen directly answered for him: "Because I was at the scene at the time, and I even bought you a can of crock soup. And this picture is a screenshot of our surveillance area in the noodle shop. Take a closer look.

The reflective vest you’re wearing.”

"What...what?" Yuan Shaogang felt a little guilty and took a casual look.

Gu Chen pointed to one of the locations and said: "Half of your reflective vest also has no reflective strips. This one, this one and this one, all the positions are exactly the same, and the details are not bad at all."

"Among the five people near the silver-white car, only your reflective vest has an obvious gap on the shoulder, and half of the reflective strip is missing. You are exactly the same outside the noodle shop."

"And you ordered five takeaways at that time, and among the people who came out of the silver-white box truck, there were exactly five people. What do you say?"

Also being pressed by Gu Chen step by step, Yuan Shaogang lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then quickly made a surprised expression: "Oh, I know, yes, this person is me, but...but so what?"

"What did you say?" Gu Chen also smiled, and then looked at Lu Weiwei behind him.

Lu Weiwei immediately understood what Gu Chen meant, so she hurriedly threw his notebook over.

After Gu Chen caught it with one hand, he showed him the topographic map on the middle page of the transcript.

"This is a floor plan I drew based on the accident site at Rose Crossing. It is completely restored according to the construction site at that time."

Seeing that Yuan Shaogang didn't seem to understand, Gu Chen pointed at a spot with a pencil and said: "Here are two of you. They came directly to the direction of the searchlight of the construction site, and took advantage of the gap of passing cigarettes to other workers to deliberately turn the searchlight of the construction site.

The direction is aimed at surveillance."

"As a result, the surveillance camera that could originally monitor the gate of Jixiang Jewelry Company at Rose Cross Road was completely gray."

"Furthermore, I did another investigation later. At that time, there was no need to aim the searchlight at the camera, but you did that. It only shows that you must blind the surveillance camera aimed at the entrance of Jixiang Jewelry Company.

"

"And let your personnel outside to monitor the working rhythm of the machines outside at any time to coordinate with your internal drilling of the wall to cover up the noise."

"Haha." Yuan Shaogang laughed dryly: "This is just your one-sided statement."

"Okay." Gu Chen instantly changed to another question and continued: "What's going on with the two drill bits you found under the bed? They should be used to drill tunnels. They usually drill into walls or something.

, there is no need for such a big drill bit.”

"Could it be that this is the drill used to open the underground vault of Jixiang Jewelry?"

"Nonsense." Yuan Shaogang denied it with all his strength, but compared to before, he was obviously a little panicked.

Gu Chen nodded, walked back to his seat, took out a bag of powder and crushed stones in a transparent evidence collection bag from the drawer, and walked back to Yuan Shaogang.

"This is a little bit of powder and stones that we scraped off the drill bit from under your bed. We have also had people extract some powder and pieces from the wall that was opened in the underground vault of Jixiang Jewelry Company. Together,

Send it to the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau."

"You have to know that the wall nearly one meter behind the underground vault of Jixiang Jewelry Company is not made of ordinary materials. The materials used must be different from other places."

"If I'm not wrong, these two substances will be exactly the same. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."

Just when Gu Chen finished speaking, Gu Chen's cell phone, which was placed on the interrogation table, started ringing.

Lu Weiwei quickly helped him through the channel: "Hello."

"Oh, is it Lu Weiwei?" A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "I am Gao Chuanfeng, forensic doctor Liu's assistant. Do you still remember me?"
