Zhang De finally expressed his opinion, which coincided with Gu Chen's previous guess.
"You mean, the reason why Liu Xing is close to Huba is because he needs someone like Huba to do things for him? Is that how you understand it?" Gu Chen said.
Zhang De is very clear about Gu Chen's meaning, and it is not easy to hide it, so he can only say straightforwardly:
"This is just my opinion. As for whether it is true or not, then I don't know, but I don't have a good impression of Huba."
"Also, I don't like Liu Xing getting too close to people like Huba."
After thinking for a while, Zhang De asked again: "Oh, by the way, Gu Ju, you said that Liu Xing was your guide to Fairy Peak and got injured?"
"You are lying to me, right? In fact, Liu Xing is already in your police station, right?"
Seeing that Zhang De seemed to see through everything, Gu Chen and his colleagues looked at each other in blank dismay.
After everyone's brief eye contact, Lu Weiwei could only nod and admit: "That's right, Liu Xing is currently at our police station. It seems that you still have some insight."
"Hehe, thank you." Seeing that Lu Weiwei praised him so much, Zhang De laughed dryly, and quickly explained to everyone:
"From the phone, I found out the clues, because Liu Xing's phone calls are always inseparable."
"And who is Liu Xing? The founder of the Explorers Club, he, like me, studied under that English explorer."
"I know his professional ability very well. None of you were injured, but he was the only one injured. This is obviously unreasonable."
"And this guy is very life-saving. Every time he leads a team on an expedition, he will choose a safe way to deal with various problems."
"But this time, you said that he was seriously injured. Obviously, this does not fit Liu Xing's characteristics."
"Plus the mobile phone is in your hands, so I boldly guess that Liu Xing should be controlled by you. As for the reason? I don't know."
"Okay." Hearing what Zhang De said, Officer Wang, who had been silently observing Zhang De, couldn't help asking him:
"I said Zhang De, you called Liu Xing in such a hurry before, what did you want to say to him?"
"It's not about the work of the Explorers Club." Zhang De took another sip of tea, and said unhurriedly:
"Because the next batch of expeditions is about to start, Liu Xing originally made an appointment with me, but he suddenly ran to be your guide."
"Obviously he's handing over this mess to me, so I want to talk to him about the proposal."
"Is that true?" Yuan Shasha raised her eyebrows and asked him.
"That's true." Zhang De nodded calmly, telling the truth.
Seeing that Gu Chen was silent, Zhang De looked at Gu Chen again and asked, "Officer Gu, I want to know what's wrong with Liu Xing?"
"Liu Xing...suspected of murder." Gu Chen said.
"What did you say? Liu Xing is suspected of murder?" Zhang De seemed a little unbelievable, and Zhang De's expression quickly changed from calm to nervous.
Gu Chen also asked Zhang De back: "Do you know who he killed?"
"Who?" Zhang De panicked and hurriedly asked Gu Chen.
"It's the Huba you least want to see." Gu Chen said.
"It's him?" Zhang De's face was startled, he also lay back on the seat, his eyes dimmed and said:
"Huba and Liu Xing had a good relationship in the first place, but how could they kill each other? Doesn't make sense?"
After thinking about it, Zhang De looked at Gu Chen, and said slowly, "I told Liu Xing to stay away from that Huba a long time ago, but Liu Xing just didn't listen."
"Actually, I also know that Liu Xing has many shortcomings, but he is my good friend after all, and I don't want to lose him as a friend."
"I also thought that Liu Xing might have a little bit of trouble with Huba, and maybe fall out with Huba, but I really don't know, Liu Xing will kill Huba?"
After a pause, as if he had guessed something, Zhang De immediately asked again: "Could it be that..."
Glancing at Gu Chen and the others, he seemed to feel that he had spoken a little too quickly. After hesitating again and again, Zhang De immediately shut his mouth again.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei said angrily, "What did you say? How can you say half of it? Do you know something?"
"Yeah, didn't you say that? You must tell us everything." Yuan Shasha on the side also continued to remind.
Officer Wang shook his head, and said solemnly, "Mr. Zhang De, you'd better tell us everything you know. It's good for you and us."
"If you know something important about Liu Xing but keep it secret, do you know how serious the consequences are?"
"I...I know." After some persuasion from Police Officer Wang, Zhang De seemed to be a little shaken.
But after hesitating again and again, Zhang De still chose to confess: "I think so, a liar like Huba is actually not a good thing at all."
"Liu Xing will not end well if he follows him. If the two of them mix together, problems will arise sooner or later."
"That's why I'm also thinking that these two people are still using each other after all. Since Huba is a liar, he will definitely drag Liu Xing into the water."
"And what about Liu Xing? If he kills Huba, he must have the motive to kill him."
"Why do you understand your friend so well?" Listening to Zhang De's explanation, Gu Chen also looked puzzled.
After all, the two are both business partners and good friends in life.
But Zhang De didn't want to hide anything at the moment, and said straightforwardly:
"It's because I know Liu Xing too well. This guy always makes me feel a little wrong with the way he solves difficulties."
"I always feel that if he can't solve the problem, he will solve the problem. This is my understanding of him."
"But just now, I heard you say that Huba was killed by Liu Xing, which gave me an ominous premonition that Liu Xing was suspected of killing someone to silence him."
Gu Chen was quite surprised to hear Zhang De being so honest.
After all, in Gu Chen's view, Zhang De and Liu Xing should be on the same boat, and they will inevitably depend on each other, and they will not reveal their old background.
But now it seems that Zhang De seems to keep a certain distance from Liu Xing, especially for some situations of Liu Xing, he basically keeps a distance from him.
And from Zhang De's mouth, Liu Xing may have murdered and silenced him, which is tantamount to sentencing his good brother Liu Xing to death.
From this point of view, Gu Chen still admires Zhang De's courage. At least Gu Chen still doesn't know if he did this to make things worse.
But if it is, then if Liu Xing has some evidence of Zhang De's crime, it is inevitable that dog bite dog will happen.
But Zhang De dared to say that, which shows that the boundary between Zhang De and Liu Xing is relatively clear.
"Gu Ju." Before Gu Chen could think carefully, Zhang De said again: "My suggestion is, you'd better search Huba's residence."
"After all, Huba is quite suspicious, because I found out that Huba is a foreigner, but he never goes home during Chinese New Year, and stays at school all the time."
"You know, if you don't even go home for the Spring Festival and reunite with your relatives, then you are too mean."
"If you talk about the left-behind school, when the school gate is closed during the Chinese New Year, local people can just go and hang around. You don't need to be a foreigner and not go home for the New Year for work."
"But this guy didn't go home for several years, and, according to the people in his school, he never heard Huba mention his family."
After a pause, Zhang De also took a deep breath and said, "So, I suspect that this Huba may not have a family."
"Or there are family members, but, for some reason, Huba is afraid to go home, so he makes an excuse, saying that he is staying at the school to be on duty or something, but it must be an excuse."
"En." Hearing Zhang De's suggestion, Gu Chen also nodded silently, and said involuntarily:
"Mr. Zhang, we will verify your suggestions, but please remember that if there are any clues that you have forgotten, I hope you will actively provide them."
"That's for sure. I'm afraid that Liu Xing will affect the operation of our entire Explorers Club. After all, we all rely on the circle of old members."
"If there is a problem with character and members withdraw in batches, it will be a devastating blow to our Explorers Club."
Taking a deep breath, Zhang De was also filled with emotion: "We spent all our energy in creating this Explorers Club. I don't want the Explorers Club to fall."
"So Gu Ju, I have a request."
"Tell me." Seeing Zhang De's worried look, Gu Chen also wanted to hear what Zhang De meant.
Zhang De also let go of his composure at this moment, and explained with a worried face: "That is, if you are handling the case, can you not involve Liu Xing's personal problems with our Explorers Club?"
Seeing that Gu Chen and the others did not respond, Zhang De was in a daze for two seconds, and quickly said again:
"It's like this. Our members here are all elites in various fields. We don't want to lose this group of customers, so when you investigate, can you..."
"I understand." Before Zhang De could finish speaking, Gu Chen said bluntly:
"We investigate the eucalyptus with our own discretion. Please rest assured, Boss Zhang, and actively provide us with some useful clues."
"Yes." Seeing Gu Chen's statement, Zhang De didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
But all things put together, it feels like the Explorers Club is in dire straits.
...
...
After bidding farewell to Zhang De and his Explorers Club, Gu Chen took everyone to a private middle school without stopping.
It is located near the outskirts of the city, and the campus is newly built, with about 2,000 students.
When Gu Chen parked the car at the school gate, got out of the car and walked towards the guard room, a middle-aged man in security uniform saw this and immediately walked out of the room.
Gu Chen stepped forward and communicated with the man, "Hello, we are from Furong Branch."
"Are you here to ask about Huba's disappearance?" Before Gu Chen could ask the question, the middle-aged security guard actually knew the purpose of his visit.
Gu Chen was very surprised, and looked back at his colleague who was also surprised, before turning around and asking him, "How do you know?"
"Did Zhao Lei say that? He came down from the Fairy Peak, saying that he took his life back."
"And he also said that seeing with his own eyes, Huba was bitten to death by something unknown, how terrifying it would be."
"He really said that?" When Police Officer Wang heard what he said, he felt that Zhao Lei was really sloppy.
The middle-aged security guard nodded silently: "Well, that's what he said. He also said that he was injured and needed to recuperate for a few days."
"So, I think your police came here to ask about Huba's situation. In fact, it was just my wild guess."
"Then you guessed right." Seeing that the middle-aged security guard was quite honest, Gu Chen asked again:
"Huba was the captain of your security team before?"
"Yes." The middle-aged security guard nodded.
"Then how many people are there in your security department?" Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked again.
"Including me, there are six people in total." The middle-aged security guard said.
"Six people manage this school?" Officer Wang asked.
"That's right." The middle-aged security guard nodded slightly, and also explained:
"Our work is quite heavy, because this is a private school, and it adopts a semi-closed management."
"Maintenance of school order, inspections at night, and inspections of trivial matters. Anyway, everyone has worked hard, and Huba is our captain."
"Then you know him best, right?" Yuan Shasha asked.
The middle-aged security guard scratched the back of his head: "Should I say I understand? That's not much, because everyone usually works and rarely chats."
"And usually when we play cards, he just looks at it and doesn't bother to participate, because his hobby is outdoor adventures, and he feels that we play cards all day for entertainment, and there is nothing to do."
"Hehe, he really said that?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help asking after being amused by the middle-aged security guard's words.
But the middle-aged security guard replied affirmatively: "Yes, that's what he said. It seems that he has many lofty ideals."
"Everyone is a security guard. What can a security guard do? Everyone just eats and eats. There is no need to be so serious."
"But the words that come out of this guy's mouth feel very high-end, and they don't have much to do with us."
"If he didn't say that he once fought with a bear and escaped from a pack of wolves, would he be the captain of the security guard?"
Hearing all kinds of complaints from the middle-aged security guards, and even bringing out what Huba said, which have been proven to be lies, Gu Chen couldn't help but feel amused.
I feel that Huba's colleagues in this school also seem to look down on him.
The most important thing is that Huba doesn't seem to fit in with the group, so in the mouth of the middle-aged security guard, it always feels that Huba likes to pretend.
Since colleagues have opinions on Huba, then this is the best, and it is also the result Gu Chen hopes to see.
Because when you have an opinion on a person, then it is easy for you to know everything.
On the contrary, if you have a good relationship with a person, and at this time, the police come to investigate this person, then as a colleague, you will definitely do something wrong.
Some things are difficult to explain clearly, which will make it more difficult for the police to handle cases.
But now it seems that this problem does not exist.
After thinking about it, Gu Chen asked the middle-aged security guard again: "Where does Huba usually live?"
"School dormitory." The middle-aged security guard said.
"Can you show us there?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Of course, then come with me." The middle-aged security guard readily agreed.
