I am a super cop

Hearing what the middle-aged woman said made everyone believe that Gu Chen's previous speculation was completely correct.

It’s a lie that the old man came here to buy groceries, but it’s a lie that he came here to communicate with someone.

After all, according to normal people’s logic, who buys groceries like this? It can be seen that Nie Ping's father is highly suspicious.

Gu Chen paused and continued to ask: "Does this old man usually buy groceries like this?"

"Isn't it?" The middle-aged woman grinned and said slowly: "This old man usually does this when buying groceries."

"Besides, I seem to be quite familiar with this boss. Every time I come here, I have to chat with him for a long time."

"Then these two people should have a good relationship." Lu Weiwei said.

The middle-aged woman nodded silently: "Absolutely. Sometimes I am also curious, why does this old man always like to take care of other people's business?"

"So when I met the boss when he was free, I chatted with him and asked him if that uncle was a relative of his."

"Then how did the boss answer?" Officer Wang raised his eyebrows, also very curious.

The middle-aged woman smiled and said: "What kind of relative is he talking about? He just likes to buy his food. If we meet him, let's chat more."

"But I don't think so. It seems like the two of them have always had a good relationship."

"You said they are not relatives, but I am more willing to believe that they may be friends."

"Who buys groceries after all? You always like to pick one place? Don't you have to look around?"

"But then again, this uncle usually walks around, but it's just for shopping. When buying groceries, he likes to buy from him. Anyway, that's pretty much it."

"So that's it?" Yuan Shasha was thoughtful as she listened to the middle-aged woman's explanation.

Gu Chen on the side continued to ask: "Sister, when did this vegetable seller come here to sell vegetables?"

"Maybe... just these two years?" the middle-aged woman said thoughtfully, thinking:
  "Because this vegetable market is newly built, we used to place it outside on both sides of the road."

"At that time, there were stalls selling vegetables on the roadside, selling during the day and at night."

"But people in the community are afraid that we will affect traffic and the surrounding environment."

“So, during the subsequent community renovation and development process, this long and narrow area was vacated for us vegetable vendors.”

"In this way, we also have a shelter from wind and rain, and we don't occupy the road outside. It will be more convenient to manage here. It's a win-win situation in any case."

"Very good." After listening to the middle-aged woman's explanation, Gu Chen nodded silently and echoed:

"So, you should have been selling vegetables here for many years, right?"

"Well, more or less. I'm a foreigner, and my husband works at a nearby construction site. Because the urban village here is undergoing major renovation, there are many projects here, one after another."

"I usually can't help, and I don't know what to do?"

"In the past few years, I have seen some vegetable sellers make a lot of money by going to the vegetable wholesale market to wholesale vegetables and then selling them here."

"So my husband and I worked together and he went to work at the construction site, so I came here to sell vegetables."

When she looked up at the building where the crane was working not far away, the middle-aged woman added: "Every day, my husband gets off work very late. As soon as he gets off work, he will come here to pick me up."

"So, my stall will close a little later than others, so I can do as much business as I can."

"So that's it?" Seeing that the middle-aged woman seemed to have been selling vegetables in this area for a long time, Officer Wang also continued to ask:
  "Then you should come here earlier than the broccoli seller."

"That's for sure." Grinning, the middle-aged woman also explained:

"The guy selling broccoli has only been here for less than two years. I remember it was less than two years. Anyway, his business is so-so."

"The main reason why people come here to sell vegetables is because there is a large flow of people here, and the area where vegetables are sold is relatively small."

"Those places outside now don't let you set up stalls casually. You can only sell them here."

"So, if you have a stall here, you can make money. It's just a matter of making more or less."

"Okay." Listening to the middle-aged woman's endless explanations, Gu Chen nodded silently and continued to ask:
  "Then are you familiar with this person?"

"Uh... we're not very familiar with each other, are we? We all do business here, so we don't look up to see each other, we just know each other."

"Then do you know where he lives? What is his name?"

"Uh, this..." It felt like Gu Chen was posing a problem for himself.

However, these problems did not trouble the vegetable seller.

The middle-aged female boss hesitated for a few seconds and then said slowly:

"I remember, this person's surname seems to be Nie, right?"

"The surname is Nie? Is he a local here?" Lu Weiwei asked quickly after hearing the middle-aged woman's words.

"No." The middle-aged woman shook her head and said involuntarily:
  "Although there are many people named Nie here, he doesn't seem to be a local."

"How did you judge that he was not a local?" It seemed that this middle-aged lady had her own set of criteria for judging, and Gu Chen continued to ask.

The middle-aged woman also smiled and said: "Isn't it difficult to judge? Because if you are a local, you will not come here to sell vegetables."

"Because there were several urban villages here before. Later, there was a large-scale development here, and a large number of commercial and residential areas were developed, as well as various supporting schools and hospitals."

"So the locals here are very wealthy, and every household is divided into houses based on population."

"Who doesn't have a few apartments? But you also know that the housing prices in Jiangnan City are not low, so the people here are all rich."

"Why don't rich people come here to sell vegetables when they don't enjoy happiness at home? Only outsiders like us can endure this kind of hardship. The locals here can't endure the hardship like us."

"Okay." Feeling that the middle-aged woman's judgment criteria made sense, Gu Chen nodded silently and continued:

"That means he still has to drag unsold vegetables home every day?"

"Absolutely." The middle-aged woman nodded silently and reminded:
  "Although our place is a vegetable market, over there..."

While speaking, the middle-aged woman also pointed to an area and said:

"Did you see that? There is a large open space over there, which is where we vendors park and unload our goods."

"I found that I often see the boss leaving on a three-wheeled motorcycle."

"Do you know the license plate?" After hearing what the middle-aged woman said, Officer Wang quickly stepped forward and asked.

"License?" The middle-aged woman was stunned and said thoughtfully:

"I'm not sure about this, but I think I've photographed it before."

While talking, the middle-aged woman also took out her mobile phone and started searching in the photo album.

Gu Chen and others immediately gathered around.

After a while, everyone found the photo containing the three-wheeled motorcycle license plate among the various random photos taken by the middle-aged woman.

The photo is a selfie of a middle-aged woman, with a minivan unloading goods behind it.

The middle-aged woman took her mobile phone and took a selfie with the truck as the background.

However, it can be seen from the photos that the middle-aged woman is so crazy about her beauty that it is difficult for everyone to distinguish. The woman in the photo with excessive beauty and skin resurfacing is the one in front of her.

"Sister, is this you?" Although she knew that this was the middle-aged woman herself, Lu Weiwei was quick to speak and said one more thing.

There was also disbelief in his tone.

Perhaps she was a little shy, but the middle-aged woman also smiled awkwardly:
  "This was taken when my chili peppers arrived. At that time, I just took pictures casually. However, Boss Nie's three-wheeled motorcycle was parked next to it. This is the car."

As she spoke, the middle-aged woman immediately enlarged the photo on her phone and explained it in front of everyone:
  "At that time, his three-wheeled motorcycle was parked erratically and took up a lot of space, so that the small truck could not drive in."

"I also asked him to help move the car, so I was quite impressed with his car."

"Okay, thank you. Can I take a picture? I'm just looking for him." As Gu Chen spoke, he took out his mobile phone.

The middle-aged woman was a little confused and finally asked: "What is that? Who are you?"

"We are from Furong Branch, and we are investigating a case recently." Gu Chen took out his ID as he spoke.

The middle-aged woman blinked and then suddenly realized: "So you are the police? No wonder you ask me questions to get to the bottom of things."

After smiling and handing her mobile phone to Gu Chen, the middle-aged woman also asked curiously:

"Oh, by the way, are you going to arrest this guy named Nie? Did he commit something?"

"Um...no comment for now." Gu Chen also said casually after finishing the shooting, handing the phone back to the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman nodded silently: "Okay, I know, it's a secret, so I won't ask about it."

"Don't talk nonsense to the people around you." Officer Wang also reminded again.

"Definitely." Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman immediately made an "OK" gesture to everyone.

After getting the information about this vegetable vendor, Gu Chen and everyone returned to the entrance of the vegetable market, and everyone pedaled quickly.

Later, Gu Chen sent this photo to He Junchao and also directly dialed He Junchao's phone number.

Not long after, the call was connected, and Gu Chen quickly reminded:
  "Senior Brother He, I have a photo here, take a look."

"That tricycle with the license plate number ending in 227. Please help me find the driver. It's best if you can determine the identity of this person. If you can't be sure, help us find his residence quickly."

"Okay, I'm looking at it now. The license plate ends with 227. Well, I know. I'll tell you when I find it."

"it is good."

After a brief communication, the two hung up the phone.

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing work clothes and a safety helmet was riding a battery car and drove into the vegetable market from one end of the road.

Gu Chen could see from the perspective of the intersection that the middle-aged man walked directly into the middle-aged woman's stall.

"Because his husband is off work." Gu Chen said.

"Yes, her husband came to take her home, but we may not be able to get home tonight. We must find this person named Nie." Officer Wang wanted to complete the task quickly at this moment.

After all, it's really hard to stay outside in this cold weather.

Especially in Jiangnan City these days, due to the cold wave, the temperature is generally around zero degrees.

Even if you are sitting in the car, it is a kind of suffering if you don't turn on the air conditioner.

Fortunately, He Junchao was very helpful. Within a short time, the call came directly to Gu Chen's mobile phone.

Without saying anything, Gu Chen directly opened the answer button: "Brother He, how are you doing?"

"Gu Chen, I have found the three-wheeled motorcycle. The person riding the three-wheeled motorcycle is a middle-aged man who currently lives in the Sunflower Community."

"It's probably about 30 minutes away from you."

"Sunflower Community?" Gu Chen hesitated for a few seconds.

All kinds of information flows quickly in his mind. Gu Chen quickly captured the specific location through his master-level memory, and quickly said: "Is it a newly built community over the railway bridge?"

"Yes, there is a resettlement housing community over there. It used to be a village in the city. Later, there was a railway viaduct passing there, so the village over there was moved to the side."

"Unification established a resettlement community for them. Because there used to be a large sunflower planting base here, the resettlement community was called the sunflower community."

"Okay, I know where it is. What is this person's specific name? Do you know?" Gu Chen said.

He Junchao smiled helplessly: "This guy has been wearing a helmet and his body is wrapped tightly. I can't see his face clearly."

"However, his tricycle did indeed drive into the Sunflower Community. If you go there and ask, you should be able to find out."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother He. I'll go over and take a look."

"Ok."

The communication between the two was still brief and concise, and they hung up the phone quickly.

Gu Chen quickly started the vehicle and drove directly forward.

……

……

Similar to the time calculated by He Junchao, Gu Chen was able to see the specific buildings of the Sunflower Community in 32 minutes.

Since this place is not like the place where everyone has stayed before, the location is relatively remote, even under the high-speed railway bridge, so the business atmosphere here is not as strong as the previous place.

Various developments are also in their early stages.

Moreover, there are many large trucks parked around, so it doesn't look too lively here.

There are not many commercial blocks around, only resettlement communities, sitting alone in an open space.

But fortunately, it's close to a river, so the scenery is pretty good. There are very few pedestrians passing by on the streets illuminated by street lights.

"It feels so desolate!" Yuan Shasha also expressed her feelings through the car window:
  "Now I finally understand why, with the same surname of Nie, the residents on Nie Ping's father's side can live a prosperous life, but Boss Nie here has to sell vegetables there."

"Maybe this depends on reincarnation technology, right?" Officer Wang heard this and said jokingly.

Lu Weiwei snorted coldly and said, "Regardless of whether the reincarnation skills are good or not, the problem we have to solve now is to find the vegetable seller, Boss Nie."

Glancing at Gu Chen beside her, Lu Weiwei asked, "Our car is parked outside, right?"

"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded silently, glanced at Yuan Shasha in the back row, and said:

"Xiao Yuan, you will stay in the car later and guard the door, just in case." "Understood." Knowing that Gu Chen needed to be at the door and arranging personnel as support, Yuan Shasha also decisively agreed.

Then, Gu Chen looked at the other two people and said slowly: "Senior Sister Lu, Senior Brother Wang, let's go in."

"Okay." The two nodded silently and quickly got out of the car.

Since the vehicle was parked at the entrance of the Sunflower Community, everyone was ready to walk directly into the community.

This community is also quite interesting, because it is a newly built resettlement housing community, so the houses in the community do not look too high-end, but more of simple structures.

It seems that housing is divided according to population here.

However, due to the poor location, the occupancy rate is not very high, and most of them are local villagers.

There are no roadblocks at the entrance of the community, and it is basically open to the outside world.

It seems that the street lights inside the community have not yet been installed in place. Many street light poles are still lying on the side of the road, seemingly ready to be installed.

As a result, this neighborhood looks very dark.

Originally there were not many residents, and the lights were dim, so there were very few pedestrians walking inside the community.

Gu Chen also had trouble finding passers-by to ask questions.

Thinking that the tricycle might be parked downstairs in the community, Gu Chen asked everyone to search separately.

Gu Chen is on the left, Lu Weiwei is in the middle, and Officer Wang is on the right.

After a while, when Gu Chen came to the corner of the community, he discovered that the tricycle with the license plate ending in 227 was parked downstairs in the corner.

When Gu Chen looked up at the unit building, there was only one house on the third floor with lights on.

As for the community here, the outside is the corner of the wall.

It's even more deserted outside, and even the greening work hasn't started yet.

Gu Chen didn't think much and walked directly towards the unit building.

Since he didn't know how many residents there were on the unit floor, Gu Chen did not rush to the third floor and knock on the door. Instead, he tried to keep his footsteps down and began to check the residents here.

After walking from downstairs to upstairs and then downstairs, Gu Chen returned to the side of the tricycle and looked up at the lights of the house on the third floor to the side. He was also curious.

"There is only one house here. Is it the residence of Boss Nie who sells vegetables?" Thinking of this, Gu Chen did not act rashly and directly sent a text message on his mobile phone to notify Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang who were still searching.

Not long after, both of them arrived at Gu Chen's position.

Looking at the three-wheeled motorcycle next to Gu Chen, everyone was also overjoyed.

Officer Wang quickly whispered: "Is this guy living on the third floor of this unit building?"

"Maybe." Gu Chen nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "I just checked the residents here and found that only this family is inhabited."

"In addition, this three-wheeled motorcycle is parked under this unit, and the unit in the middle seems to be unoccupied."

"It's not that no one lives there, Junior Brother Gu. I found that this building only has this unit, and this one household is inhabited."

"The building here seems to be newly built, and it is located in the corner, so there may be only one family here for the time being."

Listening to Lu Weiwei's explanation, Gu Chen became more and more curious about this family.

After thinking about it, he took the initiative to propose: "Let's go up and have a look."

After the words fell, everyone followed Gu Chen and walked slowly towards the third floor.

When he arrived at the door, Gu Chen first leaned against the wall and listened. After finding no movement, he started knocking on the door.

Because this community itself is located in a remote area.

In addition, this building is also located in the corner of the community, so it is particularly quiet here.

Gu Chen's knock on the door instantly broke the tranquility around him.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk! Is anyone home? Tuk-tuk-tuk! Is anyone home?"

As Gu Chen knocked on the door, there seemed to be a movement inside the house.

"Who is it?"

"Is anyone home?" Gu Chen did not rush to announce his home and continued to knock on the door.

"Wait a minute, who is this late at night?" The owner seemed to be complaining in the room.

Then, everyone heard the sound of slippers.

As the door clicked, a middle-aged man with short hair also looked at everyone with a curious expression.

Gu Chen didn't say much. He directly showed his police ID card and reminded him:
  "We are from the Furong branch, and we want to know something from you."

"From Furong Branch? Looking for me?" It seemed that the middle-aged short-haired man was not mentally prepared for the sudden appearance of Gu Chen and others, and he seemed at a loss.

"Yes, we are investigating a case and hope to get your cooperation." After Lu Weiwei finished speaking, she glanced behind the middle-aged man with short hair and then said:
  "Can we go in and talk?"

"Uh... yes, yes." After a brief stutter, the middle-aged man with short hair came to his senses and quickly agreed.

Then, the middle-aged man with short hair took the initiative to give up his position.

Gu Chen and others stood at the door and consciously took out the foot gloves they carried with them and put them on their shoes.

When the middle-aged man with short hair saw this, he also said politely: "It's okay, the house is not very clean anyway, you can just walk in."

"That's so embarrassing." Gu Chen said politely, but did not follow his advice.

After everyone put on the foot gloves, they walked into the living room together.

Since guests were arriving, the middle-aged man with short hair turned on the big light in the living room and invited everyone to sit on the sofa:

"Guys, please sit down and I'll get you a glass of water."

While he was talking, the middle-aged man with short hair had already started pouring water for everyone.

According to everyone's previous tacit understanding, Gu Chen stayed by the middle-aged man's side, while Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei pretended to be casual and walked to the direction of the bedroom and began to check the specific situation in the room.

"Comrade police, here it is." The middle-aged man with short hair poured Gu Chen a glass of water and handed it to Gu Chen himself.

"Thank you." Gu Chen took the paper cup and asked curiously: "By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Nie Jun." The short-haired man named Nie Jun said with a smile.

Then, he picked up another cup of tea and went directly to Lu Weiwei.

At this moment, Lu Weiwei had just finished checking the direction of the bedroom, and walked back pretending to be casual, and directly took the second glass of water from Nie Jun.

"Thank you, do you usually live here alone?" Lu Weiwei asked casually while taking the paper cup.

"Yes." Nie Jun grinned, picked up another glass of water, and said slowly:
  "I usually live here alone."

"Then this is your home?" Gu Chen also continued to ask.

Nie Jun nodded silently: "Yes, this community is populated by people from our village."

"Isn't this a viaduct for high-speed rail construction? It takes up the land of our village."

"So, we have redeveloped a resettlement housing community here and arranged the villagers here into this community."

"Then this building doesn't belong to your house, right?" Officer Wang, who had already checked the toilet and kitchen, walked over casually.

Nie Jun brought the tea and said with a smile: "That's not true. I only have six suites in this unit. I have renovated this one and live in it myself."

"Six suites?" When she heard this number, Lu Weiwei nodded silently and said with a smile:
  "Then you can be considered a rich man."

"Harmful!" Seeing what Lu Weiwei said, Nie Jun also said jokingly:
  "Our community here is relatively remote and unlike other places."

"As long as the location here is better and commercialization can be promoted, the value of our houses here will increase. Otherwise, it will be nothing, just a few shabby houses."

"Really?" Seeing what Nie Jun said, Gu Chen picked up the paper cup, took a sip of water, and then started to bring the topic to the point:

"By the way, the three-wheeled motorcycle downstairs belongs to you, right?"

"Uh..." After being stunned for a moment, Nie Jun quickly reacted and lowered his head in agreement:
  "Yes, that three-wheeled motorcycle is mine."

"What do you usually use it for?" Gu Chen asked again after adjusting the angle of the law enforcement recorder.

"Usually? Do you usually pull things or something?"

"Oh, what is your occupation?" Gu Chen said "Oh" and asked again.

"It's bad, I don't have anything to do usually. My family sells clothes in the mall, and I usually go to other densely populated places to sell vegetables and so on."

"Selling vegetables? Oh, is it the vegetable market at the swaying Fengshi Scenic Area?" Lu Weiwei asked knowingly.

Nie Ping smiled awkwardly and could only nod and admit: "Yes, that's right, there is a lot of population flow there, and the vegetable market is small."

"People around me usually go there to buy vegetables and so on, so I also used my connections to buy a stall to sell vegetables."

"Is business okay then?" Officer Wang heard this and asked casually.

"It's okay. The flow of people is relatively large, so the business is pretty good. We can basically sell out the vegetables every day." Nie Jun said.

"Oh." After hearing Nie Jun's words, Officer Wang nodded heavily twice, and then asked again:

"Then you usually sell vegetables there alone? Don't you have any helpers?"

"Haha, no. If you have more people, you have to calculate the labor cost. I produce and sell quickly. I go to the vegetable wholesale market to wholesale vegetables at around four o'clock in the morning every day."

"Then, I go to the vegetable market to sell in the morning and sell until the afternoon. Then I go home directly in the evening. The day goes by like this. It's just an ordinary day."

"So, do you have any friends at the vegetable market?" Seeing Nie Jun say this, Gu Chen also observed the changes in Nie Jun's expression.

Nie Jun was stunned and looked up at Gu Chen.

After thinking for a few seconds, he slowly said:

"There is a cousin who lives over there."

"Cousin? Is he this person?" Seeing Nie Jun mention his cousin, Gu Chen took out his phone, opened the photo album, and showed the photo of Nie Ping's father in front of Nie Jun.

When he saw Nie Ping's father, Nie Jun's face became obviously nervous.

Perhaps because he was afraid of being seen by Gu Chen, Nie Jun immediately retracted his nervousness, turned into a grin, and quickly asked Gu Chen:
  "Comrade police, you are..."

"Oh, it's just an ordinary investigation." Gu Chen also said lightly.

Nie Jun's heart skipped a beat, feeling that something was not quite right.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei quickly asked: "Nie Jun, you haven't told us yet, is this person your cousin?"

"Uh...yes, it's my cousin."

It was obvious that Nie Jun was really nervous and began to stutter when speaking.

However, Nie Jun calmed down, knowing that the police came to the door, perhaps based on his cousin's information, so he answered quite readily.

But after he finished speaking, Nie Jun quickly asked: "Comrade police, did my cousin commit something?"

"We'll talk about this later." Seeing that Nie Jun seemed a little nervous, Gu Chen became less anxious and continued to adjust the angle of the law enforcement recorder before saying slowly:

"I'm going to ask you some questions now, and I hope you can answer them truthfully. Can you do that?"

"Yes... yes." Faced with Gu Chen's question, Nie Jun nodded slowly, but he couldn't restrain his inner nervousness.

"Very good." Gu Chen nodded silently and said straight to the point: "Please tell me your ID number."

"Oh, my ID number is..."

According to Gu Chen's request, Nie Jun quickly reported his family name and informed Gu Chen of his personal information.

Gu Chen picked up a pen and paper and took notes on the spot.

After completing the registration of identity information, Gu Chen asked again: "Do you usually go to your cousin's place to sell vegetables?"

"Yes." After hearing Gu Chen's words, Nie Jun nodded fiercely and said involuntarily:
  "Because in the early years, I have been working in other places, but in the past few years, I have returned to my hometown, but for a while, I didn't know what to do?"

"My family basically sells clothes in shopping malls in the city. In the past few years, I have been busy with the demolition and resettlement issues at home."

"So, I just want to find some business, but I don't know what I can do?"

After sighing a few times, Nie Jun added: "Later, my cousin told me that they were renovating the community there, and many places were being renovated and rebuilt."

"It just so happens that a new vegetable market has been built, and the flow of people is quite large. If you get a stall, you will basically make a profit without losing money."

"So?" After listening to Nie Jun's introduction, Lu Weiwei continued to ask him.

"So? So my cousin helped me find a stall in the vegetable market and asked me if I would like to sell vegetables there?"

"Although selling vegetables is a bit hard work, as a local there, he knows it very well."

"The reason why the vegetable market is so small is to ensure that every vegetable vendor can make a lot of money."
