I am a super cop

Chapter 198 Password 【Seeking Monthly Pass】

"You want to search the room? Of course you can, as long as you can find my husband, you can search the house as you like."

Linda is now preoccupied with her husband.

It can be seen that the two people are very affectionate...

A husband who called himself every day to ask where he was, suddenly disappeared one day.

This kind of disruption of the rhythm of life does not mean that you can adapt overnight.

Linda stepped aside and said, "Officer, please go ahead."

Gu Chen, Police Officer Wang, and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, took out white gloves from their bodies, and began to conduct a carpet search of the objects in the house.

The three of them used the method of concentrating personnel and conducting a careful search of each room, advancing in a stream of water.

Linda's ancient villa, although it looks old on the outside, has luxurious interior facilities, giving people a visual experience combining modernity and antiquity.

The decoration inside, each room has its own characteristics...

Walking into each room, apart from the similar tiles under the feet, the decoration style of the wall and the decoration of various furniture appear to be very different.

This kind of scene makes everyone seem to enter a time tunnel, an intuitive experience from ancient to modern.

Many rooms are vacant...

It seemed that Linda's family was not short of money, and she did not rent out a separate room to outsiders like her neighbor's.

Guided by Linda, Gu Chen walked into the room where she and her husband lived, an American-style room.

The furnishings of the room are still the same as before, and all the objects have not been messed up.

"Is there anything unusual about this house?" Gu Chen asked Linda after searching.

Linda shook her head: "I've checked everything, it's the same as usual, and it hasn't been touched."

"Then only the opposite room is left." Lu Weiwei sighed faintly, feeling a little numb.

"The opposite is my husband's study." Linda walked to the door and introduced to everyone: "If there is any unfinished business in the company, James will come here to continue working."

"It also includes...meeting friends, right?" Gu Chen also walked to Linda's side, and followed her into the study.

"Yes, I don't usually come in this house, so I don't know much about the furnishings here." Linda turned on the light.

Suddenly, a deer head decoration hanging on the wall almost startled Lu Weiwei.

"My God, this thing is scary."

"I'm sorry, officer, James likes this kind of decoration style, and he also has one in the company's office." Seeing that the deer head scared Lu Weiwei, Linda hurried over and apologized.

In the dark, the head of an animal suddenly appeared in front of him, and ordinary people might be frightened.

"It doesn't matter." Lu Weiwei waved her hand and said indifferently, "Fortunately, it's just a plastic object, and it's hanging on to cherish and protect animals. Then I have to take you back to investigate carefully."

"The police officer was joking." Linda's melancholy mood was relieved by Lu Weiwei's joke.

Gu Chen walked to the bookshelf in James' study room and began to read all the books one by one.

I have to say that James still likes Chinese culture very much.

The whole study room is very cool, except for James' desk, there are two chairs.

Lu Weiwei sat on one of the chairs, turned on the computer on the table, and asked Linda beside her, "Can I read it?"

"Of course." Linda also cooperated very readily, which made the search mission go smoothly.

Gu Chen also searched all the drawers, but found no valuable clues at all.

Logically speaking, if the man James received last night was an old acquaintance, the two of them were either in the living room or in the study, and they must have discussed some related issues.

And during the conversation between the two, will James leave some clues, or does he say he hasn't found it yet?

"Your husband usually chats with old friends, does he always come back to the study?" Gu Chen sat opposite Lu Weiwei, raised his head and asked Linda, "For example, those old acquaintances."

"Unless it's the company's business, or some personal issues." Linda walked to Gu Chen's side, and began to think with a serious expression.

After searching the computer, Lu Weiwei found a few more private photos of James and Linda, the others were basically normal documents of the company. She coughed twice and said, "The computer is normal, there is nothing suspicious."

Before entering the study room, several of them imagined that they could find some clues in the study room. If not, they could only search for a needle in a haystack from acquaintances who had contacted James.

But this will undoubtedly add a lot of unnecessary burden to the detection of the case.

"Ms. Linda." Gu Chen picked up the calendar on the table, turned to her and asked, "If you want to find your husband as soon as possible, please give us the police a list of acquaintances who are close to James."

"Officer, can you be more specific?" Linda asked a little confused.

"Whoever you think is very likely to be related to James, you should write them down. We need detailed evidence."

Gu Chen now possesses master-level reasonable reasoning ability, coupled with the cooperation of energy drinks, even if he is looking for a needle in a haystack, Gu Chen wants to use his own strength to try.

And coupled with the cooperation of several other skills, there is no doubt that I have greater confidence in screening out from the crowd.

"Let me try it first." Linda walked to Lu Weiwei's side and took out a post-it note from the drawer.

Lu Weiwei took the initiative to give up her seat, while Linda was thinking hard, writing down some names she knew on the paper one by one.

Linda wrote very slowly, like squeezing toothpaste, and squeezed out a new name every ten seconds.

Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang looked at each other in blank dismay, not in a hurry, they just sneaked a few glances.

Among the names written by Linda, there are both Chinese and English, and the distinction is very good.

Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei walked back and forth in the study...

Time passed quickly, and it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

The surrounding noise is getting smaller and smaller...

Officer Wang looked down at his watch, and then looked back at the list in Linda's hand.

There are already more than 50 people who are grinding and chirping...

"How much more can you write?" Officer Wang asked impatiently.

"Probably, there are many more. These people are usually close to James, but I can't remember the names of many people for a while. I am in a bad mood now, and I am afraid that someone will miss it."

"How about this." Gu Chen looked at Police Officer Wang and asked, "Brother Wang, why don't we go back first and let Ms. Linda think about it at home, and we'll get the list tomorrow, how about it?"

"That's the only way to go." Officer Wang sighed and nodded silently.

To be honest, Police Officer Wang really wanted to handle the case overnight, but his energy did not allow him.

The high-intensity work during the day has already consumed too much physical strength and energy of everyone.

The other policemen slowly went home after nine o'clock, fell asleep on the bedside, and I had to bring the members of the three teams here to investigate this clueless case. It was heartbreaking to think about it.

Seeing Gu Chen's lively appearance, Officer Wang thought to himself, it would be great if he could be ten years younger.

"Ms. Linda, good night." Gu Chen stood up, ready to say goodbye to Linda, when he was suddenly attracted by the desk calendar that had been placed in front of him.

"Good night, officers. I'll see you off." Linda also stood up, and followed Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei to the door, only to find that Gu Chen remained where he was, staring blankly at the desk calendar.

"Officer, aren't you going back?" Linda asked curiously.

"Does your husband, James, have the habit of making records on the desk calendar?" Gu Chen turned his head and asked.

"This..." Linda hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "It seems that there is not. Sometimes I don't bother to look through the desk calendar. These are all gifts from customers, and they are purely for decoration on the table."

"Junior Brother Gu." Lu Weiwei, who wanted to return to her bed, forced her heavy eyelids to ask, "Did you discover anything new?"

"The handwriting here is new." Gu Chen held the desk calendar in his hand, pointed to the numbers written with an oil-based pen on the desk calendar and said, "Judging from the color of the ink, it should have been written recently."

Gu Chen looked at Linda and continued to ask: "Your husband James, has he written numbers on the desk calendar recently?"

"This?" Linda was at a loss for words, thinking about it for a long time, and finally said: "I haven't seen these numbers, maybe they were written by James recently."

"A person who seldom touches a desk calendar would write so many numbers on a whim?" Gu Chen looked at the desk calendar in front of him with hesitation in his eyes.

"If you think it's strange, then take it back." Officer Wang rubbed his eyes.

To be honest, if Gu Chen has to dawdle, everyone may stay for another hour.

I often handle cases with Gu Chen, so I naturally know some of Gu Chen's little habits.

Gu Chen didn't say much, just took out a transparent evidence collection bag, put the desk calendar in it, and said, "Let's go."

……

……

The next morning, the weather was gloomy with some light rain.

At eight o'clock in the morning, after Police Officer Wang closed the window, he saw Gu Chen take out the desk calendar from the evidence collection bag on the table, put it in front of him, then took out a pen and paper, and began to write on the table.

Gu Chen sometimes writes a few words, then quickly deletes them, then writes them again, and then deletes them...

Lu Weiwei also noticed Gu Chen's abnormal behavior and felt a little curious.

Logically speaking, the case of James being kidnapped yesterday had to continue.

But this guy is playing tricks here, which is a bit unreasonable.

"Do you have any questions? Junior Brother Gu." Lu Weiwei lay on the desk, propped her beautiful face with one hand, and looked at Gu Chen with blinking eyes.

"I don't understand these numbers." Holding his chin, Gu Chen brought the numbers written with oil-based pen on the desk calendar to Lu Weiwei.

At this time, Police Officer Wang also came over and checked the tricks with Lu Weiwei.

"The crooked numbers seem to have been written randomly, one here and the other, like headless chickens." Police Officer Wang hugged his thermos and breathed a breath of cool air silently.

"According to the information we got from Linda, James usually doesn't touch the desk calendar at all, but this time it's different. He wrote some numbers very rarely. Then are these numbers the ones he wrote before he was kidnapped?" What about writing?" Gu Chen looked at the ceiling and hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "I think it's possible."

王警官接过台历，坐在顾晨的办公室桌上，默默念叨：“7、8、9、10、11？”

"Could this be Morse code?" Lu Weiwei also suddenly gave a new opinion.

Officer Wang gave her a blank look, and said, "I still have the Caesar cipher and the fence cipher. Is it so complicated? He James is not an expert in ciphers. In my opinion, this is just a random number written on it."

Seeing that Lu Weiwei was not convinced, Police Officer Wang snorted and said, "Look at the numbers, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, arranged in such a neat order, it's not just a random writing."

"Is that missing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6?" Lu Weiwei also gave a new number based on Officer Wang's thinking.

Officer Wang supported his forehead and said: "I heard that some people count the stars, hair, and hairs when they are bored. I think James is the owner of a trading company. There will always be too much pressure, right? Then he It shouldn’t be a problem to write numbers casually when you’re bored, right?”

He looked at Gu Chen who was still deep in thought, and said again: "Gu Chen, I know you usually like to dig into the corners of doubtful points when handling cases, but you also have to think clearly about the problem, James, he is just an ordinary person, he wants Morse code , or Caesar cipher, what does the fence cipher do? Can ordinary people understand it?"

"Senior Brother Wang, what do you mean, this string of neatly arranged numbers is not a complicated password?" Gu Chen was also awakened by Police Officer Wang, which seemed to make sense.

Gu Chen is actually the least willing to crack the password...

After all, things like Morse Code, Caesar Code, and Palisade Code take a lot of effort to crack.

But who is James?It's just the boss of a trading company, why does he want to make so many mysterious things?Let everyone play a game of deciphering codes?
From Gu Chen's point of view, it's not so boring.

But the only thing that puzzles Gu Chen is that James, who rarely touches a desk calendar and only thinks of a desk calendar as a decoration, suddenly writes a series of numbers arranged in an orderly manner on the desk calendar, which can't help but make people think about it.

Gu Chen feels that there is something wrong, but he has no evidence now, and he can't say why.

nine in the morning.

The 13 people who came to the three groups to report yesterday came to the office of the three groups again.

Since the Qixi Cultural Festival lasts for three days, the patrol mission has to continue. The students of the Judicial Police Academy who were with the group yesterday also found the old comrades who led the team yesterday.

Wei Junzhi was driven back to school by Gu Chen yesterday. Since he worked with everyone until almost early morning, he didn't look too energetic today.

But Wei Junzhi is already very excited, after all, this is a rare work experience.

"Brother." Wei Junzhi stood beside Gu Chen and asked, "Are we still going to the old street for duty today?"

"I won't go today. There are not as many people as yesterday. Other groups will go." After thinking about Wei Junzhi, who was alone, he didn't have any special task arrangements for a while, so Gu Chen said: "Why don't you follow us today and go together Handle the case."

Hearing this, Wei Junzhi immediately smiled: "Really, brother, can I really handle the case with you?"

Officer Wang snorted and said, "Why are you so excited? Do you think handling a case is so simple? Do you think handling a case is like playing house? Let me tell you, handling a case is no easier than patrolling, and sometimes you are as tired as a dog. You saw it yesterday."

Wei Junzhi was not as timid as yesterday, but said with a playful smile: "I think being able to follow the senior brothers and solve problems for the senior brothers is my greatest value. If you have any dirty work, just leave it to me, I promise No complaints."

It seemed to be true, Lu Weiwei was surprised by Wei Junzhi's changes today.

This guy had low self-esteem yesterday, but today he looks like a different person.

Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen and asked, "Junior Brother Gu, did you brainwash him yesterday?"

"No?" Gu Chen was very curious, and said, "Does he need to be brainwashed? I think he is very good, he is very serious in his work, and has a good attitude. Yesterday we worked overtime on a temporary assignment, and he didn't complain. He has been busy with us all the time." It's late at night."

Although Gu Chen didn't pay much attention, Police Officer Wang could tell that Wei Junzhi just followed Gu Chen to patrol the old street for a day, and his eyes were full of admiration now.

It feels like now that he can't wait to go out with Gu Chen on missions every day, which shows that he has also begun to appreciate Gu Chen's personality charm.

Perhaps this appearance is very similar to the appearance when I saw Gu Chen, or maybe it is Gu Chen's unique personality charm.

Police Officer Wang was lost in thought. At this moment, the ringtone of his mobile phone disrupted his thoughts, and Officer Wang answered the phone.

"Hello, yes, what? You've written the list? Okay, okay, you stay at home now, we'll be right over."

Officer Wang hung up the phone and said to everyone, "Let's change into casual clothes and go to West Street and Minxiang. Linda has already written the list."

"No problem." Everyone answered very readily.

Not long after, a civilian car specially used for tracking stopped at the small square in Ming Lane, West Street.

Police officer Wang, Lu Weiwei, Gu Chen and Wei Junzhi, all dressed in ordinary casual clothes, came to Linda's house.

Linda, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, quickly opened the iron door: "Officer, you are finally here."

"Have you received the latest news from the kidnappers?" Officer Wang asked as soon as he entered.

Linda shook her head: "Not yet."

"Where's the list?" Officer Wang came to the living room, and then put the leather bag under his arm on the table.

Linda took out a list from her pocket and said, "I thought about it all night yesterday, and I listed here all the people who have had social contact with my husband James recently. Anyone you want to know, I can tell you."

Police officer Wang just stretched out half of his hand when Gu Chen took it first.

After a glance, Gu Chen quickly gave out his statistics: "There are 43 English names and 68 Chinese names. Your husband James is really a social expert?"

"Thank you, police officer." Linda also said ashamedly: "Business needs, so I can contact more people."

"Then, can you explain this number to me?" Gu Chen took out the number written on the note and asked, "Could these be the password of a certain safe in your house?"
