I am a super cop

Chapter 2498 The relationship between confidants and collaborators [2 in 1 Chapter]

Gu Chen's current judgment was surprisingly consistent with everyone else's, that is, the ancient treasures hidden in the hinterland of Centennial Peak seemed to have been discovered by the Scarred Man team.

Otherwise, that kind of dog-eat-dog thing wouldn't happen so quickly.

Including Lao Ba, who was killed before, and Zhang Zhi, who escaped from death, they seem to be important members of this team.

Glancing at Officer Wang next to him, Gu Chen also reminded: "If what Liu Xiangmei said is true, then Zhang Zhi, who is still in the hospital, definitely needs special attention."

"Yes." Nodding silently, Officer Wang quickly looked at Liu Xiangmei and continued to ask: "You said that these people in this team are all outdoor hikers. That Zhang Zhi..."

"He is also one of them." Before Officer Wang finished speaking, Liu Xiangmei interrupted directly.

"Are you sure?" Officer Wang frowned and continued to ask.

But Liu Xiangmei still nodded silently and admitted proactively: "I know that there is a person named Zhang Zhi in this team, who is with the scarred man."

"There is another one named Lao Ba. The three of them often act together, right?"

Faced with Liu Xiangmei's reply, Officer Wang was stunned for a moment.

It feels like this old woman knows quite a lot.

And with Liu Xiangmei's confirmation, the next work will actually be much smoother.

After all, Zhang Zhi, a member of this team, is still in the hands of the police and is being monitored by the police.

In addition, there are two other senior outdoor travelers, the two people who pitched tents at the waterfall before. They are actually in the same group. These two people are currently under the control of the police.

After all the calculations, in fact, the only two amateur outdoor hikers left beside the scarred man were now.

And will these two people be betrayed by Scar Man in the end? Killed by Scar Man? At present, the possibility is very high.

After all, in the face of absolute interests, the shortcomings of human nature will be infinitely magnified.

The two senior travel friends, Lao Ba who was strangled to death, and Zhang Zhi who narrowly escaped death can all explain the problem.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen suddenly thought of another key person, so he quickly looked at Liu Xiangmei and asked:

"By the way, who was the person who found you decades ago and wanted to cooperate with you to find the treasure in the hinterland of Centennial Peak?"

"The village chief of Hemu Village." Liu Xiangmei said.

"Which village chief?" Lu Qiang also stepped forward and asked.

Liu Xiangmei continued: "As far as I know, this person is still the village chief of Hemu Village."

"Because his family has long kept the wealth secrets of the entire Hemu Village clan to themselves."

"Few people in Hemu Village now know this secret, but it has been secretly passed down by the village chief's family. The sheepskin map is the best proof."

"Where is that sheepskin map now?" Gu Chen asked.

Liu Xiangmei hesitated for a few seconds and then said slowly: "Maybe it's still hidden somewhere in the village chief's house."

"But." After hesitating, Lu Weiwei also asked Liu Xiangmei: "But Liu Xiangmei, didn't you also use the clues on the sheepskin map to find the treasure location?"

"Then you should..."

"We just copied the contents on the sheepskin map and then searched based on the map."

Before Lu Weiwei could finish speaking, Liu Xiangmei interrupted directly.

Lu Weiwei was stunned for a moment, then asked: "That means you know the map?"

"Yes." Liu Xiangmei continued to nod.

"Then, are you sure this village chief is still the current village chief of Hemu Village?" Lu Qiang was more concerned about this issue and continued to ask.

Liu Xiangmei still nodded silently and admitted proactively: "Yes, it is said that he is the current old village chief. I also asked about him, and he is right."

"Okay." Lu Qiang also took a breath when he got this important information.

This was a major breakthrough, indicating that the old village chief of Hemu Village seemed to have something up his sleeve.

Or maybe, he has a deep connection with the various situations that happened in Hemu Village this time.

Why are the gang of desperadoes, including Scar Man, here? Perhaps he was also bewitched by the old village chief.

But thinking about the fact that Lao Mu was almost killed in the cellar of a vacant wooden house in Hemu Village after being attacked by someone, everyone seemed to have a new judgment about the murderer.

Maybe the person who attacked Lao Mu was the old village chief of Hemu Village.

Everyone seemed to have guessed this at the same time. Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Although they didn't say it out loud, everyone already understood it tacitly at this moment.

"What else do you know? About Yuan Shasha and Yanzi." Officer Wang asked.

"I don't know." Liu Xiangmei shook her head and said helplessly: "I am only responsible for the management of the hidden village and the support for their exploration teams in the mountains."

"As for other things, they won't tell me, and I'm not part of their team's core circle."

"I even suspect that they will kill me secretly after completing their mission."

With a heavy sigh, Liu Xiangmei said helplessly: "So, I have been very anxious these days. I don't know what to do?"

"I don't know, what do I mean to their team?"

"Once there is no use value, my death may be worse than these people's."

After saying this, Liu Xiangmei choked up and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with both hands.

Seeing this, Lu Qiang also sighed and said: "Fortunately, we took you out of that hidden village. If you continue to stay, you will definitely die."

"I admit it too." As soon as Lu Qiang finished speaking, Liu Xiangmei shook her head helplessly:

"I am just an old woman. Who cares about the death of an old woman? Even if one day I disappear from this world, no one will care about me. I am just like an ant, dispensable."

"Liu Xiangmei." Seeing that Liu Xiangmei was so pessimistic at this moment, Gu Chen quickly comforted her:

"You must do this. If you are willing to cooperate with our investigation, it may be a good thing for you. At least you don't have to worry about being killed."

"I will cooperate, of course I will cooperate." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Liu Xiangmei over there quickly agreed:

"I'm thinking now, one more day I can live is one day, and one more day I live is one more day I earn."

With a heavy sigh, Liu Xiangmei added: "But, this is the only thing I know about the situation."

"If you want to know the whereabouts of the girl named Yuan Shasha and Yan Zi, you can ask those outdoor hikers. They are all in the same group anyway."

"If they don't say anything, it must be because they are trying to protect themselves, or maybe they have not been in contact."

"But either way? I hope you find these two girls."

After a pause, Liu Xiangmei sighed helplessly: "I really don't know about the others, but if you want me to cooperate and identify them, I will do it."

"As long as your words are enough." With a sigh, Gu Chen glanced at Lu Qiang and reminded him: "Brother Lu, Liu Xiangmei will be left to you. You must protect him."

"No problem, leave this to me." Lu Qiang said.

Gu Chen nodded silently and asked Lu Qiang: "By the way, where are those two senior travel friends now?"

"At the Thai City Public Security Bureau, our people will continue to investigate them." Lu Qiang said.

"Okay." After Gu Chen walked back and forth twice, he said again: "Senior Brother Wang, Senior Sister Lu, I think we need to go to the hospital again to investigate Zhang Zhi."

"In addition, someone must be sent to keep an eye on the village chief of Hemu Village. After all, he has serious suspicions."

"Well, for now, that's all we can do." After receiving Gu Chen's reminder, Officer Wang looked at Lu Qiang aside and asked:

"Brother Qiang, is there no problem with this?"

"No problem, I will make arrangements for Hemu Village. Now, you should go to the hospital quickly. I will handle the matters here."

"Okay." Seeing that Lu Qiang took the initiative to take over these tasks, Officer Wang also patted Lu Qiang on the shoulder, and then reminded Gu Chen:

"Gu Chen, we have to leave right away."

……

……

Without stopping too much, after everyone finished interrogating Liu Yuan and Liu Xiangmei, they immediately started taking the bus back to Taishi and came to the place where Zhang Zhi had been treated.

Because of his narrow escape before, he was severely cold outdoors.

If Gu Chen and others hadn't discovered him, Zhang Zhi would have been covered in heavy snow and turned into an ice sculpture.

Therefore, Zhang Zhi, who narrowly escaped death, is still very weak and looks sickly.

In addition, the police promised to provide him with protection, so Zhang Zhi is still unclear about the fact that his true background has been exposed.

I thought that lying in the hospital, with doctors taking care of me and police protecting me, I would be able to sleep peacefully.

Here, Gu Chen brought Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a third-level police superintendent, who was feeding him a nutritional meal.

But Gu Chen suddenly pushed open the door, instantly frightening Zhang Zhi and the third-level police superintendent.

But when they turned around and saw that the person coming was Gu Chen, they both relaxed their guard at the same time.

"So it's Bureau Gu? Who do I think you are? Why are you back again?"

"Don't give this to him." Gu Chen didn't reply here. Officer Wang took the lead to walk up to the third-level superintendent, took the nutrition package out of his hand, and placed it heavily on the bedside table.

The third-level superintendent was stunned and quickly replied: "This is a nutritious meal specially prepared by us. It has been inspected and there is nothing wrong with it."

"We're not saying there's something wrong with this nutrition package, we're saying there's something wrong with Zhang Zhi." Lu Weiwei also hurriedly explained, for fear that the third-level superintendent wouldn't understand.

But the more he said this, the more confused the third-level superintendent became.

"Alas!" Seeing this situation, Lu Weiwei also sighed and quickly waved her hand and said:

"I can't tell you clearly now. Why don't you go outside and take a rest first? We have something important to discuss with Zhang Zhi here."

"We will go through the matter later and explain it to you, okay?"

"Okay." Seeing that Gu Chen's team was mysterious, however, this case seemed to be handled by Gu Chen's team and the senior officials of the Tai City Police.

Therefore, as a small third-level police superintendent, I was only doing some simple nursing work in the hospital, and I couldn't be serious.

So the third-level police officer wisely stood up, walked out of the ward, and gently closed the door.

When the door closed, Zhang Zhi also clearly felt that there seemed to be an inexplicable atmosphere in the entire ward.

Looking at the sharp eyes of Gu Chen and others, Zhang Zhi asked in confusion: "What is that? Police comrades, what's going on with you? Why did you come to the hospital to see me again?"

Seeing that Gu Chen and others did not respond, the embarrassed Zhang Zhi quickly coughed twice to resolve the embarrassment, so he quickly explained:

"My body is recovering well now, really."

"We came here to see you, not to see how you are recovering, but to ask you about the whereabouts of Yuan Shasha and Yanzi." Gu Chen didn't want to beat around the bush with Zhang Zhi, so he said it straightforwardly.

This time, Zhang Zhi was stunned. He was stunned for a long time, then he smiled bitterly and said weakly:

"Police notification, what are you talking about?"

"Liu Xiangmei." Gu Chen directly replied with the name "Liu Xiangmei".

Zhang Zhi in front of him was immediately stunned on the spot.

"This name should be familiar to you, right?" Gu Chen asked again.

Zhang Zhi blinked, pretending to think about it, and then said again:

"I think I've heard of it, but I don't think I've heard of it."

"So, you should know about the hidden village at the foot of Centennial Peak, right?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

Zhang Zhi immediately shook his head: "I don't know."

"You should know the secrets in Centenary Peak and the purpose of your coming to Centenary Peak this time, right?" Officer Wang couldn't stand this kind of guy pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, so he asked.

Zhang Zhi was really confused now, and still looked at everyone with that confused look.

However, for this kind of guy who pretends to be crazy and acts stupid, everyone has long been accustomed to it, and of course they will not get used to him.

Lu Weiwei took a step forward and said coldly: "Actually, you, the scarred man, the old man who was strangled to death, the two senior travel friends wearing red and blue jackets, and the two amateur outdoor hikers , in fact they are all in the same group, right?"

Seeing Zhang Zhi remained silent, Lu Weiwei sneered twice and continued:

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell us. We all know it already, and Liu Xiangmei has already made it clear to us."

"Actually, you have already made plans a long time ago to go to the hinterland of Centennial Peak to look for the treasure."

"It's just that you are now dog-eat-dog and starting to kill each other, but it is nothing more than that you have found the treasure, but so many people are dividing it up, which may lead to uneven distribution of the spoils."

"That's why Scar Man thought of killing all of you insiders one by one, right?"

"This...where did you hear this? It's all nonsense." Listening to Lu Weiwei's explanation, Zhang Zhi's face turned green.

I feel extremely nervous now.

Officer Wang didn't tolerate him, so he stepped forward, tightened Zhang Zhi's collar, and warned him:

"I don't care about the treasure now. I only care about our colleague Yuan Shasha and the girl named Yanzi from Hemu Village. Where are they?" "I..."

"Say!" Officer Wang's tone was extremely angry. This intimidation instantly frightened Zhang Zhi, who was half lying on the bed, and made him tremble all over.

"Zhang Zhi." Seeing that Zhang Zhi was frightened at this moment, Gu Chen also said bluntly:

"Your plan is now under our full control, and you must know that your two accomplices who set up tents at the waterfall are now under the control of our police."

"In addition, Liu Xiangmei has already told us exactly how you plan to go to the hinterland of Centenarian Peak to find treasures and ask her to take care of you in the hidden village in advance."

"In addition, we have also investigated the background and identity of the old village head of Hemu Village, so that we can include Liu Yuan from Baisui Peak Town who is working for you."

"He has now been arrested by our police, and he was the murderer who strangled Lao Ba that night."

After the words fell, Zhang Zhi, who was half lying on the hospital bed, was also frightened at this moment, and his body was trembling.

Gu Chen continued to remind: "Even if you don't answer now, we will know the answer from other people, but I still want to give you a chance."

"If you have grasped it, then you have served your crime. If you choose to continue to carry it to the end, then I'm sorry, you have to bear all the consequences."

Having said this, Gu Chen looked down at his watch and reminded him again:

"I'll give you three minutes now. Think about it carefully. Give me your answer in three minutes."

Gu Chen glanced at Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei beside him, and reminded them with his eyes to wait at the door.

The two of them also understood the situation, immediately turned around and walked towards the door, closing the door heavily.

At this moment, everyone is playing psychological warfare.

It's just that the initiative is in his own hands, and Zhang Zhi currently seems very passive, as if he has no choice.

But now, Gu Chen gave him three minutes to calm down.

Maybe after three minutes, he will naturally figure it out and continue to fight to the end? Or choose to cooperate with the police?

Seeing Gu Chen and others coming out of the ward, the third-level superintendent guarding the door immediately stood up and looked at everyone with a confused look on his face, and hurriedly asked:

"Gu Bureau, what are you talking about? Why do you feel that the atmosphere is different?"

Gu Chen smiled, looked at Lu Weiwei on the side, and said, "Senior Sister Lu, you should tell him?"

"Yeah." After hearing Gu Chen's words, Lu Weiwei grinned and said slowly:

"Actually, it's nothing. It's Zhang Zhi who escaped from death. In fact, he and these murderers are all in the same group. They are just killing each other."

"What? Are they killing each other?"

When he heard the result, the third-level superintendent was also stunned. When he wanted to ask a few more questions, Officer Wang directly put his right index finger on his lips and made a hissing gesture.

"You know too much. Ask what you should ask and don't ask what you shouldn't. Now just take a good look at this guy."

"Not only do we need to prevent someone from coming to harm him, but we also need to prevent him from escaping. Do you understand?"

"Understood, just leave this to me. I will keep in touch with my colleagues at all times." Listening to Officer Wang's words, the third-level superintendent immediately understood the seriousness of the situation.

It seems that the guy he is guarding is still an important witness.

At this moment, after waiting for a while, Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked Gu Chen:

"Junior Brother Gu, the time seems to have come."

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently and opened the door again.

The three of them immediately walked into the ward and closed the door.

When everyone gathered around Zhang Zhi's hospital bed, Zhang Zhi lowered his head and said nothing.

"Have you thought clearly? Should you continue to fight to the end? Or cooperate with us? Take the initiative to explain?" Officer Wang said impatiently.

At this moment, Zhang Zhi finally raised his head slightly and looked at everyone.

After repeatedly struggling with the inner world, he nodded unwillingly and said proactively:

"I'll cooperate. What do you want to know? I'll tell you everything I know."

"Yuan Shasha and Yanzi, have you ever met before?" Lu Weiwei asked quickly after hearing Zhang Zhi's words.

Zhang Zhi nodded silently: "We met him, he's in Centennial Peak Mountain."

"So how are they now?" Officer Wang was also nervous, his voice was urgent.

"She should still be alive." Zhang Zhi sighed quietly and said slowly:

"Actually, we don't know what happened? These two people suddenly appeared in the hinterland where we were exploring the treasure."

"Because we already knew the location. It was a location we spent a lot of hard work to find, but the sudden appearance of these two women completely disrupted our rhythm."

"What happened next?" After hearing what Zhang Zhi said, Gu Chen quickly asked.

"Later? Haha." Faced with Gu Chen's question, Zhang Zhi laughed dryly and replied calmly:

"Later, our people used weapons to control the two of them. After all, once this news is leaked, it may cause us a lot of trouble."

"After all, if the news leaks out, the wealth does not belong to us."

"Is there really a treasure?" Hearing this, Officer Wang couldn't believe it.

But Zhang Zhi smiled coldly: "Yes, that's right, we found the place where the treasure was buried. It's an ancient tomb, and there's a lot inside."

Looking up at the crowd, Zhang Zhi also explained weakly: "Since you know about the treasure, you must also know the origin of this treasure."

"Speaking of which, the ancestors of Hemu Village are really skilled craftsmen. They built a perfect ancient tomb in the hinterland of Centennial Peak."

"Not only are all kinds of wealth buried here, but it also serves as a good cover."

"It's a pity that the secret was finally revealed to us."

"Let me ask you now, how are Yuan Shasha and Yanzi?" Gu Chen was now more worried about their safety, so he reminded Zhang Zhi again.

Zhang Zhi was also startled by Gu Chen's momentum. After calming down for a few seconds, he replied:

"After the two of them were captured, they have been locked in the ancient tomb."

"That means the two of them are still alive, right?" Upon hearing this, Lu Weiwei couldn't restrain her inner excitement.

Zhang Zhi nodded silently: "Yes, we arrested these two women and planned to execute them after transporting the wealth away."

"After all, according to Scar's opinion, he doesn't know the relationship behind these two women?"

"I always feel that it is not easy to find this place. If I make a mistake here or am discovered by others, my life will be threatened."

"He can also use these two women as hostages to help him escape from this place."

"He's really thoughtful." Lu Weiwei said angrily after hearing Zhang Zhi's explanation.

But Zhang Zhi disagreed and continued to explain:

"Actually, the reason is very simple. Scar has always been cautious. He even killed us companions, which is enough to show his ability to kill a donkey without any trouble."

"Not only did he organize several teams of people to help him conduct surveys in the mountains, he even colluded with different teams to divide and conquer us."

"He knew that big things couldn't be accomplished with just a small team, so he chose to cooperate with more small teams."

"But these teams don't know each other. In this situation where interests are paramount, his calculation is correct."

After a pause, Zhang Zhi said angrily: "Because we, even though we are familiar with the people in each other's team, are not familiar with the people in other teams at all, and we cannot know the ins and outs."

"And these teams have a deep connection with Scar."

"Scar can take advantage of this delicate relationship to make us work for him, but he can also keep us in check."

"But in the end, I never expected that his ability to kill a donkey really surprised me. He could actually use such cruel methods to get rid of us, his confidants, one by one. .”

When he said this, Zhang Zhi was also very angry. He couldn't help but pat his chest, as if he couldn't swallow this breath.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei reminded her, "You can speak slower."

"Okay, okay." Zhang Zhilian said the word "ok" twice, and then said:

"I don't know that Scar has this idea of ​​murdering us, but I guess the two women you are looking for must still be alive."

"Besides, they must also know about the treasure, that's why they came to that place."

"It's not that you wait a moment." After hearing what Zhang Zhi said, Lu Weiwei frowned and asked quickly:

"You mean, Yuan Shasha and Yanzi actually know about the treasure, so they got involved?"

"That's for sure." Faced with Lu Weiwei's question, Zhang Zhi nodded silently.

"Then what evidence do you have to prove what you said?" Lu Weiwei was unwilling to give up and asked quickly.

Zhang Zhi sighed, and then said: "The reason is very simple, because the place where we found the treasure is in a very secret hinterland of Centennial Peak."

"Ordinary people, even if they go hiking, will never be able to go to such a secret place."

"The only possibility is that they are here for the treasure. I don't care where the two of them come from? But, I am sure that the two of them must know this secret."

"That's why Scar didn't dare to kill them. He felt that his behavior seemed to risk being exposed."

"Scar doesn't know who leaked the secret? I don't know if someone else was behind him when he secretly transported these treasures away?"

"So he was scared and always worried that someone would plot against him. That's why he locked Yuan Shasha and Yanzi in the ancient tomb."

"He is just afraid that if he kills them, his last life-saving straw will be gone, because he has no idea how many people are ready to take action besides his team."

When he said this, Zhang Zhi was out of breath.

It seems that the water here is very deep, at least I can't see the truth of the matter clearly.

But for Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang, the news Zhang Zhi brought to everyone was definitely the best news they had heard in these days.

At least it means that Yuan Shasha and Yanzi are still alive.

Perhaps it was precisely because Scar didn't know the enemies around him that he didn't dare to kill Yuan Shasha and Yanzi. Instead, he imprisoned them in the ancient tomb as the last straw for his retreat.

But it was precisely for this reason that the lives of the two were saved.

But while Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang were happy, Gu Chen looked melancholy.

Indeed, why do Yuan Shasha and Yanzi appear in the movie fandom of Centennial Peak?

If things were really as Zhang Zhi said, then it would be absolutely impossible for the two of them to reach that place.

Even if Yanzi's hometown wanted to take his friend Yuan Shasha for a spin in the nearby mountains and forests, he would never bring Yuan Shasha to such a dangerous place.

Therefore, if what Zhang Zhi said is true, then Gu Chen suspects that Yan Zi may be the insider.

The reason why I took Yuan Shasha with me was probably because I was thinking that there might be certain risks in sneaking into the hidden hinterland of Centennial Peak alone.

If you bring your friends there, you might be able to look after them to some extent.

Especially Yuan Shasha's identity is still a policeman, which Yanzi should know well.

Perhaps the reason why Yanzi took Yuan Shasha with him was because he wanted to use Yuan Shasha's status as a police officer to give himself a gold medal to avoid death.

Once discovered by this group of people, Scar would have to think twice as long as he informed the other party of Yuan Shasha's identity as a police officer, or the crime of killing a police officer.

After all, once he offends the police, no matter how far he goes, the police will bring him to justice at all costs.

The scarred man obviously did not want to be an enemy of the police, so he was indecisive and finally decided to imprison the two before making a decision.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen raised his head and glanced at Zhang Zhi, who was half lying on the hospital bed, and said slowly:

"Then after you caught Yanzi and Yuan Shasha, did you get anything from them?"

"I don't know about this." Faced with Gu Chen's inquiry, Zhang Zhi shook his head and said helplessly:

"We are all at a loss as to how these two women sneaked in."

"However, only Scar and the two amateur outdoor hikers know about the situation of these two women."

"The three of them seem to be the core of the core, and our team is more like the facilitators outside the core."

With a faint sigh, Zhang Zhi shook his head helplessly: "This is why, in the end, we will all become victims, but Scar teamed up with the two amateur hikers to kill us all."

"Because, from the beginning, those two people were his Scar's confidants."
