Chapter 2041

The results given by Liao Guofu are indeed unbelievable. After all, this escort operation ended in a bizarre car accident.

Who was it? My first thought was that it must be the car accident. Could there be some kind of conspiracy behind it?

In particular, the bodies of the two escorts were found, but the gold was nowhere to be found.

Of course Gu Chen knew that a wooden box containing gold must be very heavy.

If it falls into a river, it is absolutely impossible to be washed far away by the current.

Even if the river was relatively turbulent at that time, it would sink into the sediment at the bottom of the river instead of disappearing.

But now, the box of gold that has been missing for several years has been unearthed again, but this time it is in Xiushan Valley.

It can be seen that there must be some conspiracy behind this, and the gold was obviously robbed.

But if the truth is what Liao Guofu said, the manager of the Jiangnan City Branch chose the method of escorting the store by secretly repairing the plank road, then there must be very few people who know about this operation.

In this way, in fact, the scope of investigation can be infinitely narrowed.

"Comrade police." Seeing that Gu Chen suddenly fell into deep thought, Liao Guofu, who was sitting opposite Gu Chen, couldn't help asking softly:

"Is there... is there a problem?"

Gu Chen looked up: "How many people knew about this escort route back then?"

"Not much." Liao Guofu shook his head and explained truthfully:

"The manager of our Jiangnan branch, and the two security personnel responsible for escorting the real gold."

"That is to say, those who escorted the safe, or the gang who escorted the bricks, didn't know that they were actually escorting a box of bricks, right?"

According to Liao Guofu's remarks, Lu Weiwei also asked.

Liao Guofu nodded fiercely: "It can be understood in this way? Because of the escort situation at that time, it was the manager of the Jiangnan City Branch who communicated with the core leaders above and obtained approval for the action."

"And just to be on the safe side, the security personnel who escorted the bricks didn't know that the safe was full of bricks, and the manager didn't intend to tell them."

"In this way, the escort operation will become very real, and it will not easily arouse suspicion from the outside world."

"Hmm." Listening to Liao Guofu's narration, Officer Wang crossed his arms and said thoughtfully:

"The leaders above you are quite thoughtful, but, to me, it is better to strengthen the security force and escort them all the way than to use some escort method to repair the plank road and secretly hide the warehouse."

"You handed over such precious gold to an escort team with only two people."

After a pause, Officer Wang said again: "Have you ever thought about it? Once these two people get greedy and take this gold for themselves, can you afford such a loss?"

"No." Liao Guofu immediately shook his head when he saw Officer Wang's words:

"The situation you mentioned will never happen."

"Why are you so sure?" Yuan Shasha couldn't help being suspicious when she heard Liao Guofu's confidence.

But Liao Guofu said bluntly: "As I said, the escort team responsible for the secret operation of Chen Cang is all the boss' cronies."

"One is the boss's cousin, and the other is the driver who has followed the boss for many years, and they are also somewhat distantly related."

"The boss usually trusts these direct employees the most. It can be said that everyone knows each other."

"Otherwise, the higher-ups will not rashly agree to the manager's arrangement, because the gold will be escorted by direct employees, so the higher-ups will be 100% at ease."

"Moreover, it's not the first time for these two people to escort such precious gold, they have experience in escorting."

"That's it..." Listening to Liao Guofu's explanation, Yuan Shasha couldn't help but glance at Gu Chen.

But Gu Chen asked Liao Guofu after pondering:

"You said that the two dead people ran off the bridge because of a car accident. Was there any on-site investigation at that time? Are you sure it was a car accident?"

"Yes." Seeing that Gu Chen still didn't believe it, Liao Guofu said bluntly:

"At that time, we invited technical experts to conduct on-the-spot investigations and found that it was because the vehicle deviated from the route that it collided with the guardrail on the side of the road."

"Because the speed of the vehicle was too fast at that time, the vehicle lost its inertia at the moment of the collision, flew out of the bridge, and fell directly into the river. These are all technical appraisal reports."

"That's right." As soon as Liao Guofu finished speaking, Police Officer Wang also nodded and admitted:

"Back then, I also heard from Director Zhao that the accident was indeed caused by the vehicle's deviation from the route."

"But what caused the car accident? Because all the parties involved died, it is not known."

"Is there no positioning device installed on the car? Mobile phone positioning or something?" Lu Weiwei asked.

Liao Guofu shook his head: "Our company has regulations. When escorting such valuables, the escort must never turn on the mobile phone to locate it at will, because they are afraid of being followed."

"So, under normal circumstances, the company will temporarily confiscate the smartphones of the escorts, and only equip the escorts with the simplest elderly phones."

"However, a company-specific positioning device will be installed in the wooden box containing the gold."

"In this way, even the managers and those high-level people above, who are sitting in the office, can find out the specific location of the gold."

"Then it will be easy with a positioning device." Hearing what Liao Guofu said, Lu Weiwei also vowed:

"In this way, when there is a car accident, can't you also locate the specific location?"

"Since the positioning device is inside the gold, where the positioning device disappears, the gold should be there, right?"

"No." Hearing Lu Weiwei's eloquence here, Liao Guofu still firmly denied:

"We have thought about the problem you thought of, but the problem is that after the escort vehicle fell into the river, the positioning signal also disappeared."

"Later, Futai Jewelry Company also invited a professional salvage team to look for gold, but they couldn't find it."

"Although the signal of the positioning device disappeared under the bridge, no matter how hard the professional salvage personnel tried, they couldn't find the real gold box."

With a faint sigh, Liao Guofu was also quite helpless: "So around the incident of the missing gold box, our company was full of quarrels."

"In short, there are all kinds of conspiracy theories."

"But so what? I couldn't find the gold, and I still couldn't find it. Later, after the head office searched for it for many days, although it was not reconciled, it had no choice but to give up."

"Because that box of gold seems to have disappeared and never appeared again."

"Then look at this." As soon as Liao Guofu finished speaking, Gu Chen took out a gold bar from a small transparent evidence collection bag and pointed it directly in front of Liao Guofu.

Liao Guofu's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the transparent evidence collection bag and held it in his hand for a closer look.

Seeing the bottom position of the gold bar, there is the mold of Futai Jewelry, Liao Guofu raised his head and asked with joy:

"Comrade policeman, this should be one of the gold boxes you mentioned, right?"

"That's right." Gu Chen nodded slightly, and said solemnly:

"Let me tell you the truth, that box of gold is currently in our hands, but we need to know all the data about the missing gold."

"I understand." After all, on the phone before, the police contacted Futai Jewelry Company, and discussed with Futai Company's executives. Futai Jewelry sent personnel to the police station with all the information about the missing gold. Check with the police.

Seeing Liao Guofu take out a stack of documents from his black leather bag, Gu Chen took it and looked at it in his hand.

In the file is a lot of information about the gold bar, including the size, as well as the weight and quantity.

Gu Chen took a quick look and found that the number of gold bars recorded in the file was as high as 220.

But Gu Chen counted the whole process from digging out the wooden box to bringing it back, and only counted these gold bars, which were only 160.

It is far from the 220 pieces of gold dictated by Futai Jewelry Company.

Gu Chen frowned, and raised his head to ask Liao Guofu, "Are you sure that the batch of gold you lost totaled 220 pieces?"

"Yes, this is the data given to me by the superior." Liao Guofu said.

"That's not right." Officer Wang interrupted immediately after hearing the words:

"We have counted this box of gold, and there are only 160 pieces in total. How did you come up with 220 pieces?"

"I... I don't know about that either. After all, I was just a shopping guide at the time, working at the lowest level."

"I don't know the numbers mentioned above, but that's what the above documents say."

"Could it be that those who stole the gold distributed 60 of the gold?" Yuan Shasha said.

Gu Chen nodded slightly: "There is also this possibility, if it is said that this gold was indeed stolen by accident."

"Then this group of people will definitely share the gold after they succeed, and the rest may be the box we found."

Looking up at Liao Guofu in front of him, Gu Chen reminded again and again: "Besides, I suspect that this group of people is a group, because this box of gold cannot be transported away by one person."

"So, according to my judgment, there are at least two or more people who stole the gold."

"Comrade policeman, you are right, there is indeed such a possibility." After thinking for a while, Liao Guofu asked again:

"By the way, comrade police, when you dug out this box of precious gold, did you find anything else in it?"

"Yes." Upon hearing what Liao Guofu said, Lu Weiwei responded immediately: "We found that this batch of gold was wrapped in a large piece of linen."

After the words fell, Lu Weiwei opened the drawer again, took out another transparent evidence collection bag, shook her hand at Liao Guofu and said:

"This is a small piece we temporarily cut out from the sack wrapped in gold, please check."

Liao Guofu carefully took the sack sample from Lu Weiwei's hand, his eyes were startled, and he raised his head suddenly and said:

"That's right, it was indeed this kind of linen that wrapped the gold back then. This is recorded in our report, which is the information I gave you just now, and there are relevant explanations in it."

"Yes, indeed." Yuan Shasha, who was on the side, kept sliding her finger on the document, and finally found the relevant evidence in one of the places.

"Senior Brother Gu." Yuan Shasha raised her head and said, "From the color photos in the report, it is indeed similar to the piece of linen we found."

"It is certain that the sackcloth used to wrap the gold was the small piece we cut out. These two things are the same."

"Sure enough, it's the batch we disappeared, but the amount of gold is wrong." Liao Guofu finally let go of his worries after hearing everyone's explanation.

But 220 pieces of gold suddenly became 160 pieces.

Although the number of gold has decreased by 60, it seems understandable.

After all, after so many years, if that batch of gold was really taken away by others.

Over the years, those who have robbed gold will inevitably have the urge to consume, and it is possible to exchange 60 of the gold for cash, and all kinds of squandering are also possible.

Gu Chen quickly asked him: "Do you know Wang Xinyu?"

"Wang Xinyu? Who is it? I don't know him." Hearing Gu Chen's question, Liao Guofu shook his head directly, expressing that he didn't know him.

Then Gu Chen said again: "What about Wang Jiayao, Zhao Xiaohu, and Zhao Limei? Do you know these people?"

"I don't know." After thinking for a while, Liao Guofu shook his head and denied it:

"These people, I haven't even heard their names."

"Okay." Gu Chen nodded silently, seeing that the clues given by Liao Guofu were indeed limited.

But at least it can be proved that this batch of lost gold was accidentally missing when there was a car accident.

But according to Liao Guofu's own narration just now, the positioning signal at that time showed that everything was normal.

Moreover, the positioning signal was seen from above, and it suddenly disappeared during the operation.

From this, Gu Chen can infer that the situation at that time may have disappeared because the vehicle was driving at a high speed, then rushed out of the guardrail and fell into the river.

This is in line with previous speculation.

So Gu Chen asked again: "After losing this batch of gold, how did your superiors react, and what's your reaction from those in charge?"

"What's the reaction?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Liao Guofu looked up at the ceiling and said thoughtfully:

"I just remember that when the batch of gold was lost, the boss above almost scolded everyone, wishing to fire all those involved in the operation on the spot."

"But as for the other people in charge, after all, the lost gold has nothing to do with me, so their reactions are relatively normal."

After thinking for a while, Liao Guofu said again: "Besides, the manager in charge of that operation has direct responsibility, so don't let the boss fire him."

"But I feel that he doesn't seem to feel guilty at all. After all, he came up with the idea of ​​repairing the plank road and stealing Chen Cang secretly."

"But then there was an accident, and he looked very relaxed."

"It's easy?" Gu Chen suddenly thought of something? So he hurriedly asked Liao Guofu: "Where did your manager go afterwards? Can you still get in touch?"

"No." Liao Guofu answered very simply.
