Gu Xizhou hung up the phone. Gu Zhizhi, who was next to him, had already reacted. He circled the cushion in the photo. This bright red cushion with flowers was very conspicuous at the back of the taxi.
"Taxi drivers usually don't put cushions in their cars. This is the biggest feature of that car," Gu Xizhou said.
"…"
Gu Zhizhi didn't say anything, but he obviously agreed with Gu Xizhou's words. He used a pencil to draw a circle on the cushion in the photo.
"Zhizhi, you can't do it," Gu Xizhou said casually as he leaned back on the sofa.
Gu Zhizhi: "…"
After watching TV, Gu Xizhou came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. About three hours later, he heard his phone ring. He picked up the phone and smiled. "Got it."
Gu Zhizhi: "Have you found a clue? “
Gu Xizhou nodded as he dried his hair. "We saw a similar car in the CCTV. The traffic police have set up a checkpoint to check. They will arrest the person when the car arrives."
Gu Zhizhi stopped what he was doing in mid-air. He went into the room to take out his police uniform and put it on the sofa.
Gu Xizhou: "Are you crazy?"
Gu Xizhou had just finished speaking when he saw Gu Zhizhi throw the car keys in front of him. "…"
Gu Xizhou had just left the house when he immediately instructed his subordinates to bring him to the police station. When Gu Xizhou picked up Fang Zhi, the two of them got into the car.
Fang Zhi said, "Gu Ge, why did you suddenly have news?"
"We changed the direction of the investigation." Gu Xizhou said calmly, "There was a red cushion in the back of the car. People rarely put such things in taxis."
Fang Zhi took out the information and looked at it. He saw that there was indeed a red cushion in the back of the photo. "So that's how it is. We all misunderstood the license plate number!"
Fang Zhi continued, "Actually, Gu Ge, you can just ask us to go. You don't have to come at this time …"
Gu Xizhou: "…" I didn't want to come, but … hehe.
Seeing that Gu Xizhou did not speak, Fang Zhi immediately changed the topic and said, "I asked them to investigate the driver's identity first and find out why he hit people."
Gu Xizhou grunted in acknowledgment.
At eleven o 'clock at night, Gu Xizhou parked his car at the entrance of the police station and closed the door. Several colleagues who lived nearby had already begun the interrogation. When they saw Gu Xizhou arrive at the scene, they immediately briefed him on the situation.
"According to your request, Captain Gu, the traffic police have re-investigated and found that the owner of the car is a cloned car driver. He is male and his name is Lu Jian. He is a local of Ning Qing and lives in the demolition area. After he lost his land, he relied on driving to make a living. The license plate number has been changed to that of another car with a set license plate."
"But he has no contact with the deceased's family."
A criminal police officer was asking for details in the interrogation room.
Lu Jian sat in the interrogation room with sweat on his forehead. His left hand held his right hand. "Officer, I'm a cloned taxi driver. I know I'm in the wrong, but you don't have to make such a big fuss, right?"
"Yes," the police officer interrogating inside said calmly, "Do you know why I called you here?"
"Isn't it just a cloned car? I didn't do anything. If you want to fine me, fine me. You don't have to do this, right? "
"Let's get straight to the point. Tell us why you killed him."
When Lu Jian heard this, he was stunned. "Killed him? Who did I kill? I didn't kill anyone! What are you talking about?! "
When the people outside heard this, they shook their heads in unison. "Sure enough, you don't admit it."
"Come, look at this surveillance camera. Is this your car?" The police officer directly played the footage recorded by the surveillance camera to Lu Jian.
Gu Xizhou took a closer look at the man. The man was about forty-five or forty-six years old. He was slightly plump and about 1.75 meters tall. His physical characteristics were different from the person in the surveillance camera. Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi looked at each other. Gu Xizhou said softly, "He wasn't the driver."
After he called the police officer out, he brought Fang Zhi into the interrogation room and put down the documents.
"I really didn't kill anyone!" Lu Jian was agitated. His face was red and his neck was thick. He was afraid that he would be convicted for no reason. Although the car was his, he really didn't kill anyone.
Gu Xizhou gestured for him to keep quiet. "Drink some water and sit down first. We'll talk slowly. We won't wrongly accuse a good person, but we won't let a bad person go either."
"…" Lu Jian felt that the police officer in front of him was giving him a lot of pressure. It was completely different from the young police officer just now. He immediately restrained his temper.
"You know the reason why we arrested you. Where were you on the morning of the eighth of this month? Can anyone prove where the car was? "
"The eighth … I was sleeping at home that day. That day … my car broke down!" Without waiting for Gu Xizhou to ask, Lu Jian continued, "My wife can prove that the engine of the car broke down at that time. I sent it for repair!"
At this moment, Lu Jian seemed to have calmed down. He slowly organized his words. "Because the car broke down, I sent it to a small garage for repair. I didn't leave it at home! Yes, it must be someone from the garage who took my car. Yes … the license plate number. At that time, I was wondering why the license plate number was different. But since the car was the right one, I didn't think much of it! "
Lu Jian reported the location of the garage. Gu Xizhou immediately brought some people over. The garage was located in a very remote area. They had to pass through a narrow alley next to the railroad tracks to enter.
When the people inside saw the sudden arrival of the police, they were obviously flustered. Gu Xizhou flashed his identification. "Police, call everyone here."
Gu Xizhou said calmly.
About ten minutes later, the boss arrived. He was wearing a pair of faded jeans and a black short-sleeved shirt. His hair was like a bird's nest. It was obvious that he had rushed over as soon as he heard that something had happened.
The boss seemed to have already organized his words. When he saw the police officers, he immediately said pitifully, "Hello, police officers. May I know why you have come to our factory?"
Gu Xizhou glanced at him. "Don't joke around with us. Don't think that you can deny the matter of the cloned car. Whether you have a problem or not, we will know after the investigation. Now, let me ask you a few questions. Why did you suddenly change the license plate of the cloned car with the license plate XXXX, which is Lu Jian's car?"
"Ah?" The boss was stunned. "I don't know about this. Do you know? The police officers are asking questions! "
The repairmen around them looked at each other. Finally, a tall and thin man with tanned skin said, "I remember that when the car was sent for repair, the license plate was fine. But when we were painting it, Old Wang … I think Old Wang sprayed something on it when he was painting it."
"There were a few numbers on the license plate that couldn't be seen. After some discussion, we changed the license plate."
"Old Wang?" Gu Xizhou said, "Where is he now?"
"He resigned and went home," the boss immediately said. "A few days ago, he said that his parents in his hometown were not in good health, so he went back."
Gu Xizhou glanced at him. "Do you have his ID card and photo?"
"Yes, I will bring them to you now!" The boss immediately went to the nearest room and searched for a moment. Gu Xizhou soon saw the person in the photo. He was 55 years old, thin, with a face full of wrinkles. His skin was as black as coal. Countless traces of life had engraved on his face.
"It can't be Old Wang, right? He has such a hard life … "
Gu Xizhou looked at the boss in surprise and asked, "Why do you say so?"
"His son died of kidney failure a few years ago."
