Chapter 642
"Excuse me, is Gu Chen there?" Anna's voice came from the landline.

"I am." Gu Chen said with a smile.

"Gu Chen, at 4:[-] p.m., there is a press conference at the gate of the Luocheng Police Station. Director Fernando has asked me to invite your Chinese police team to participate. You must come."

"Press conference?" Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, remembering the last press conference in front of the Luocheng police station, it should not be too embarrassing.

Of course Gu Chen knew that last time the Chinese police team stole the limelight from the Luocheng police station, embarrassing Chief Fernando.

But this time Director Fernando's invitation must also be about Ronaldo's case.

After thinking about it, Gu Chen asked: "Anna, are you sure our Chinese police team will participate? It's about Luo's case, right?"

"Otherwise?" Anna said with a smile.

Gu Chen hesitated for a moment: "I think this time the Chinese police team is only assisting in handling cases. After all, the scope of responsibilities stipulated in our white paper is limited to helping Chinese tourists and overseas Chinese to solve problems."

"As for this case involving celebrities in Luocheng, I think it's better for you Luocheng Police Department to handle it. Otherwise, wouldn't Director Fernando be even more embarrassed?"

"Haha." Listening to Gu Chen's good intentions, Anna laughed out loud, "I said Gu Chen, you think highly of our Director Fernando too."

"If he can solve this problem well, he won't let your Chinese police team come forward."

"Huh?" Gu Chen felt a little confused, and asked weakly, "How do you say?"

Anna chuckled, "Gu Chen, Luo A is involved in the case. This is explosive news. Although the case is broken, the impact of the A Luo case is explosive."

"Do you think our Chief Fernando can handle everything by himself? After all, if he asks about the process of handling the case, he will have the face to say that this case was solved by the Luocheng Police Department. He will probably be ashamed when he sees you again. "

"So, what do we need to do?" Gu Chen obviously already knew the reason for Anna's call.

After the last "credit grab", Fernando was obviously a little scared.

Of course, the biggest fear is not from the external media, but from the internal "defection".

For example, the uncertain factor of Anna.

He was originally an Italian policeman, but he always fell on the side of the Chinese policeman, which made Fernando feel dizzy.

"Gu Chen, you just need to come here. Director Fernando will explain the specific situation to you."

After a pause, Anna said again: "Oh, yes, the press conference will be held at 4 pm, but I will pick you up at the police station an hour earlier, so you should stay at the hotel instead of going out around 3 pm."

"Understood." Gu Chen said lightly.

"That's it, see you this afternoon."

"See you in the afternoon."

After the two parties hung up the phone, Lu Weiwei, who pricked up her ears to listen secretly, stood up straight.

"Junior Brother Gu, the call just now was from Anna, right?" Lu Weiwei asked knowingly.

"That's right, let's not go out around 3 pm. She will take us back to the Luocheng Police Station, because at 4 pm, the Luocheng Police Station has a press conference to be held." Gu Chen said.

Officer Wang was stunned, and couldn't help asking, "Why is it a press conference again?"

"It must be because of Luo A's case." Yuan Shasha has already seen through everything, and said with a smile: "I think that Luo A is a celebrity in Luocheng, and even in the whole of Italy. Luo A is involved in the case. This is explosive news. Doesn’t it make sense not to hold a media conference?”

"Xiao Yuan is right." Gu Chen walked into the middle of everyone, and said lightly: "This time a public figure is involved, and the influence is definitely not small, so there is pressure on the Luocheng Police Department, and we need the assistance of the Chinese police team. .”

"In addition, our Chinese police team played an important role in handling the case, so with the lessons learned from last time, I think Director Fernando will have some scruples."

"So it should be the same reason to invite us to the Luocheng Police Station and hold a press conference with them."

"Never mind him." Lu Weiwei ate potato chips nonchalantly, and said with a smile, "Anyway, there is a chance to show your face, so that many Italian citizens will pay more attention to our Chinese police. This is also a good way of publicity."

"I think after this incident, there should be no one who doesn't know about you, Junior Brother Gu, right? Hehe."

Thinking of the handsome picture of Gu Chen talking about the process of handling the case in front of many Italian media reporters, Lu Weiwei felt that the picture was very beautiful.

Officer Wang looked at the crowd and murmured: "Since it was invited by Director Fernando, let's go there. It doesn't matter if you show your face or not. The important thing is to promote our Chinese police. If you don't go, it won't be in vain."

"Then it's settled." Gu Chen said.

……

……

3 pm.

Everyone stayed in the rooms of Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang.

Sure enough, Anna was also on time. At 2:59, she drove a police assault vehicle downstairs to the hotel.

Then, the landline phone in Gu Chen's room rang.

After Gu Chen answered the phone and communicated briefly, he took everyone downstairs to the car and went to the Luocheng branch office together.

At this moment, Fernando has been waiting for Gu Chen in the director's office for a long time.

With his hands behind his back, he walked back and forth in the office until he heard a knock on the door, then he stopped and looked eagerly at the door.

"Director, I have already brought Gu Chen." Anna said politely.

"Crack!" Fernando opened the door himself, and seeing Gu Chen and Anna standing at the door, Fernando's face suddenly changed from the previous heavy to a little indifferent.

"Gu Chen, come here." Fernando grabbed Gu Chen's arm, pulled him to the sofa in the director's office, and invited him to sit on the sofa.

Then he made a cup of fragrant coffee for Gu Chen himself, and then said lightly, "Thanks to the help of your Chinese police team for Luo's case."

"Director Fernando." Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, then said calmly: "We Chinese police should not be involved in this case, but Officer Anna, Officer Mario and Officer Fabio are partners with our team, so... "

"I know." Before Gu Chen could finish speaking, Fernando interrupted directly: "You are partners, but you also helped our Luocheng Police Station to solve this vile murder case."

"I really didn't expect that Ronaldo, who looks positive on the surface, would do such a thing. This is totally unacceptable."

Seeing that Gu Chen wasn't affected by his emotional exaggeration, Fernando was stunned for a moment, then quickly withdrew his aggressive tone, and said softly, "Gu Chen, after all, your Chinese police team is assisting you to handle this case."

"So, at the press conference at 4 p.m., you will also attend the press conference with our Luocheng Police Department. During the press conference, you can answer truthfully. After all, this case is also a symbol of the strengthening of cooperation between the police of our two countries. "

Gu Chen nodded slightly: "If we need to make progress, then of course it is our duty."

"It's great!" Fernando patted Gu Chen on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I'm really impressed by you guys. I found that I like you Chinese policemen now, really."

Regardless of whether it is true or not, Gu Chen is of course aware that Fernando called himself to the press conference to attract firepower and reduce the pressure of public opinion last time.

You know, Luocheng's media is not easy to deal with.

The time soon came to 4 pm.

On a garden lawn of the Luocheng Police Station, there is still a podium.

At the same time, many media reporters were anxiously waiting in the garden.

The reminder given to everyone by the Luocheng Police Department is only heavy news, but the specific content of the news has not been disclosed too much.

Therefore, the media reporters who came here were all at a loss at the moment.

Of course, there are also some who have obtained gossip, and they will exchange information with other colleagues while waiting.

"Hey! Do you know what important news Fernando has going on today?"

"I heard it was about Ronaldo and the Liberty Club."

"Ah? You heard about it too?"

"Who hasn't heard of it? Many people are talking about it now, but they haven't believed it until now. Fernando, a bastard, likes to keep secrets."

"You say, what happened to Ronaldo? Or is it groundless?"

"I don't know, let's see what that bastard Fernando has to say later."

On the one hand, there are various discussions in the media, and on the other hand, the Luocheng Police Department and the Chinese police team are waiting.

4 pm.

After tidying up his police uniform, Gu Chen signaled to Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha beside him that they all followed Fernando, Anna, Mario and Fabio to appear in the garden of Luocheng Police Station.

Soon, the reporters who noticed the arrival of the police station gathered in front of the podium in a short sprint from scattered corners in the garden.

Before the Italian police and the Chinese police team came to the stage, the long microphones of many reporters had already reached the stage.

"Director Fernando, you summoned us to the Luocheng Police Station today, do you have any important news to announce?"

"It's the news about Ronaldo, right? It's spreading throughout Luocheng, and some passers-by took pictures of Ronaldo boarding a police car. May I ask what's going on?"

"Director Fernando, can you tell me something? We have been waiting here for a long time."

Facing all kinds of questions from the media reporters, Fernando was as steady as an old dog, with a calm expression on his face, he pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet first.

Soon, the hustle and bustle gradually subsided, and everyone was waiting for Fernando's speech.

"I'm very glad, friends from the media, for your support to the work of our Luocheng Police Department. Here, I, Fernando, thank you all."

Clenched his right hand into a fist and put it to his mouth to cough a few times, Fernando said again: "I called everyone here today to report something."

"Just yesterday, former Liberty Club youth academy player Matthew was found dead at home."

"After careful investigation by our Luocheng police at the scene, it was found that the deceased, Matthew, committed suicide by hanging himself."

"Hanging himself?"

"Matthew?"

"Isn't this the guy with the dreadlocks who often plays freestyle football in the square in Area A?"

"That's right, the name Matthew is very familiar, so he should be right."

"My God! What the hell is going on here? How did Matthew hang himself? It's horrific."

Various media reporters were shocked when they heard the news that Matthew had hanged himself.

The wandering entertainers of freestyle football in the square in District A, these news, when Matthew first appeared in the square in District A, he attracted everyone's attention with his superb freestyle football skills.

But now the news from Fernando's mouth is bad news, which makes all the media reporters feel a burst of deep regret.

"Director Fernando, why did Matthew hang himself?" A white female reporter was puzzled.

Fernando pressed his right hand and said: "I am very sorry, Matthew is an inspirational player. He entered the football hall step by step from a refugee status. His death is indeed regrettable."

"Just a few days ago, his mother and two younger sisters just died in a car accident. This was definitely a disaster for Matthew. We all thought that Matthew hanged himself because of too much pressure, but Things are far from simple."

"It's not that simple?"

Listening to Fernando's remarks, many reporters in the audience were dumbfounded.

The middle-aged male reporter who made trouble last time immediately asked again: "Director Fernando, what do you want to tell us? Can you just get to the point, our time is precious, really."

"That's right, can you stop playing around and take back your boring official words, we need to know the result."

"You'd better tell the result directly, Fernando."

The reporters in the audience always seem to be so strong, but Fernando is still as steady as an old dog.

No matter how everyone in the audience complained, he still had the posture of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Lu Weiwei leaned close to Gu Chen's ear and said softly, "By the way, Fernando is in the Luocheng Police Station, and he is also the chief of the police station, but these reporters seem to be quite disrespectful."

"Because it's too free." Gu Chen shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "They pursue individuality, so they feel that the director is just serving them, and doesn't need to talk to you flatteringly."

"That's right. I don't think Director Fernando is surprised. It's really hard for him to face so many tricky reporters." Lu Weiwei nodded silently, feeling sorry for Fernando for a few seconds.

It was only when the hustle and bustle among the reporters dissipated that Fernando said: "According to the investigation of our Luocheng Police Department, Matthew did not really commit suicide by hanging himself. , creating the illusion of committing suicide due to excessive stress.”

"Fake suicide?"

"murderer?"

Everyone who heard these key words was suddenly surprised.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, as if there was something to be said for this.

"Who is the murderer?" The middle-aged male reporter clenched his fists and put on a look of extreme grief and indignation, as if he wanted to tear the murderer apart to avenge Matthew.
