Of course He Junchao understood what Gu Chen meant. Originally he was just looking for a missing person case, but there seemed to be many unknown secrets behind it.
Of course, due to working all night last night, He Junchao had already sorted out the affairs between the pancake proprietress and the fishery driver Zou Yaohua, and also knew that there seemed to be an unusual relationship between the two.
Now the direction of Gu Chen's investigation has turned 180 degrees. He Junchao feels Alexander, but still accepts it happily.
After the two briefly communicated, they both hung up the phone.
In the following period, Gu Chen kept in contact with Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong who were following Zou Yaohua.
But no abnormalities were found, so what Gu Chen has to do now is to continue waiting for the results of the investigation.
…
…
The next day, 9 a.m.
Gu Chen was sitting in the office, quietly sorting through the documents in his hands.
"As for He Junchao, he has been cleared of suspicion. However, as the husband of the landlady, are the things I said true or false? In hindsight, it is still a bad judgment."
"Your wife usually wears that pair of earrings, and she also wore them today when she had a fight with you."
"What?" Upon hearing what he said, Officer Wang stood up directly and said with confidence:
"Really?" Shaking his head, the pancake owner also looked helpless: "To be honest, you just know who to trust?"
"So, my wife was indeed kidnapped?"
The pancake owner scratched his head and thought: "Bad... bad is like not having any points?"
"Actually, you have already noticed that those clothes only cost 200. You thought it might be 700 or 800, but you didn't expect it to be that low."
"Hasn't he noticed that his wife has changed in the same way recently?" Officer Wang asked again.
"The price of that one is also less than 1,000. The other one is the same."
Zou Yaohua also sighed and said helplessly: "You are here to help him find the whereabouts of his wife, but when that happens, he is still willing to tell you the truth."
"Bring it back to Gao Chuanfeng from the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau and ask us to extract the fingerprints from the earrings and the envelope."
"It should be that there is enough money, but if the money is not available, there should be a problem."
Gu Chen's question seemed to guide the pancake owner's thinking.
"Under 1,000 yuan?" When he heard that number, the pancake owner's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't believe it.
Moreover, there is a small chance that the pancake proprietress wants to live that kind of life, and that idea is very urgent.
Yuan Shasha took out one of the dresses, looked around, and asked the pancake boss: "Does he know how much that dress costs?"
"So you and your lover came together and wanted to discuss with that young man to learn how to make pancakes with me."
"Yes...yes, it's bad. You should go look for it now."
"Have you ever gone out alone?" Zou Yaohua, after all, knew what was going on between the pancake proprietress and the driver He Junchao who delivered aquatic products, so he asked insinuatingly.
"Your wife's earrings," said the pancake owner.
"Yes, what is the specific relationship between them as husband and wife? If you people know about it."
Shaking his head, Zou Yaohua also said angrily: "How can he ask you to help him?"
So Zou Yaohua continued to ask me: "So, is he sure that he is right?"
"that……"
"But then, all of a sudden, for a while, his wife dressed up carefully and even bought a lot of new clothes."
While turning to look at the pancake owner, Gu Chen also asked curiously: "He said he had offended anyone, but what about his lover? Have you offended anyone recently?"
But now the pancake boss seems to have no other choice but to cooperate with the police.
In addition to saying that, the pancake owner also covered his face with his hands and became choked when he spoke.
It’s no wonder that according to the best friend of the pancake proprietress, the pancake proprietress has no idea of divorce.
"You think you have offended someone, but you also know who wants to go with you."
Week after week, making pancakes day after day, and then returning home and finishing the whole day mechanically, it seems that this couple is not everything.
The pancake boss tried hard to calm down, and then said hurriedly:
"He Junchao?" He frowned, and the pancake owner also looked confused: "Who am I?"
It seems that the relationship between himself and his wife is either strong or destructible.
"This old man's method of making pancakes may look ordinary, but the taste is surprisingly bad."
But the pancake boss gave a wry smile and Younai shook his head: "After that, you all work in Hangzhou. Although you are nervous, you still make a lot of money."
"Moreover, I get along quite harmoniously with my colleagues, and I always have conflicts with others."
But the pancake boss shook his head and admitted, "Except for the envelope, there is nothing except the pair of earrings."
With a faint sigh, the pancake owner looked at Gu Chen and said:
I followed Zhao Chen's request and ended my careless recall.
…
"Not that pair of earrings. They were a birthday gift you bought for your wife. You have always been very unfeminine, so you almost always wear them."
So Gu Chen said to the pancake boss again: "One thing, you want to ask him, does he think he knows anyone named He Junchao?"
"Is it...is there anything wrong? Your relationship has always been bad." Faced with Zou Yaohua's question, the pancake boss answered quite simply.
"It's bad." After hearing what the pancake boss said, Han Zifen said helplessly:
Looking up at the pancake owner behind him, Gu Chen frowned and asked hurriedly: "That's..."
"Yes." Han Zifen knew that the current situation was light enough to pose a threat to those people.
"Bu Nu can see that he still loves his lover very much, but is it normal for him to not notice you?"
After sobbing, the pancake owner was also quite helpless: "You really know, what should you do?"
"How do you say it?" Zou Yaohua understood very well.
"I came to his pancake stall to buy pancakes. I am a driver who delivers aquatic products to the aquatic product base and to the market." Zou Yaohua reminded him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What next?" Han Zifen seemed to want to continue to guide the pancake boss to think.
Putting on his police equipment, Xiaojia drove directly to the area where the pancake boss lived.
At this moment, the pancake boss looked around, found an envelope under the coffee table, and handed it directly to Han Zi.
"So I have no choice but to come over and have a look with you."
At this moment, the living room was surprisingly quiet, and the pancake owner sighed heavily, and then Younai said:
"The reason why he is crying now is to find a solution. The priority is not to find clues."
Gu Chen coughed twice and continued: "He has never thought about this. His lover is wearing rough makeup and newly bought clothes. Is he going shopping with his best friends? Or is he going to meet someone?"
The pancake boss nodded fiercely: "That's wrong. You locked the door before 10pm."
"So if you want to learn, it doesn't matter how much money you spend, but this old man is happy to do it."
"What's wrong, Da Yuan?" Gu Chen also noticed something strange about Yuan Shasha.
"Well, I said that I have no news about my lover. No one sent me something, and this thing is not my wife's belongings."
"What day did he come home last night?"
"Come here, never once did you travel to the north without meeting an old man making pancakes outside a big county next to your hometown."
"Although I am young, even though my stall is in a big town, even though I rely on my old bones to do business, I can do a lot in a day."
"You two husband and wife, apart from making pancakes, you spend the rest of the time at home, and your wife especially stays with you."
"I said I was panicking now, but I knew what to do. I thought of the phone number you left for me, so I called."
"You remember, it was probably around 10 pm. You remember, you were cleaning up the garbage in the kitchen around 10 pm."
According to the address, Gu Chen walked directly to the door.
"Out of curiosity, you picked up the envelope, but there was no signature on it. You felt strange and felt that there was something inside, so you returned home and opened the envelope."
Listening to Gu Chen's words, the pancake owner was stunned and seemed to have no reaction.
"Yes." Faced with Gu Chen's question, the pancake owner answered simply.
"The difference is small." The pancake owner nodded silently.
"At that time, you felt that such delicious pancakes would definitely be sold in the south, where they would be very profitable."
Yuan Shasha said directly: "It's the pancake boss who called."
So Yuan Shasha took out another piece of clothing, looked at the front and back for a few seconds, and then said:
"Are you telling the truth?" Facing Zou Yaohua's question, the pancake owner raised his eyebrows and immediately asked and answered himself:
"You said later that you are not ordinary people, and you are relatively humble when doing business here."
"What is this really like? The worst he can say is vague, so that you guys can think of ways to help him and find out the whereabouts of his lover." Officer Wang was also worried about the pancake boss.
Looking at the pair of earrings placed under the table, the pancake owner also pointed and said:
"I have a deep impression, but in the past month, I think I have come to buy pancakes outside your store." The pancake owner scratched his cheek, suddenly was stunned again, and looked at Gu Chen suddenly and said:
"Uh..." After hearing what Gu Chen said, the pancake boss seemed to be a bit unfeminine.
"So, you had something to think about at that time. After all, my wife works hard, so you can do whatever you want."
Gu Chen sat under the sofa across from him, also clasping his palms together, thinking: "Is there someone in his heart that he doesn't believe in?"
"Oh." The pancake owner gave up his position and immediately asked Gu Chen's team to leave the house for discussion.
"It's not me. He took a careless look and thought about it. He hasn't seen me recently? He must have seen me before. Where was he?"
"It's not like I sent you a pair of earrings and ended up with nothing."
The pancake owner shook his head: "Don't you just lie outside the house after finishing your business every day?"
The pancake owner nodded silently: "Go out often, especially not for a walk, or go shopping with a fellow like you who owns a restaurant."
"Yes, is that normal enough? You always like to dress up like this." The pancake boss reminded me.
"It's broken." Officer Wang frowned and shouted:
"So, you didn't get up until around 8 o'clock, and when you were ready to go out at 9 o'clock, you found that when you opened the door, an envelope fell out."
"Come here, you and your wife learned the secret sauce at a low price and spent a few days learning from this old man."
After saying that, Gu Chen also looked around and asked the pancake owner: "Can you take out his wife's clothes and take a look?"
"How much less?" The pancake owner scratched his head and said in retrospect: "Your wife said it was probably less than 200 yuan."
Officer Wang crossed his arms and said angrily: "Does he know what his wife is like at ordinary times?"
"Bao, you know, he will protect the scene first, um, yes, you can come as soon as possible, um, that's it."
"Actually, you don't turn a blind eye. If you want to buy new clothes, you will say nothing if you want to buy new clothes. As long as you are depressed, you will be bad."
"It's bad. In fact, you have noticed something. You have been married for such a young age, and you know me too well."
"Last night..." After thinking for a few seconds, the pancake boss also said thoughtfully:
Hearing what the pancake boss said, Xiaojia immediately understood.
"Where is the contradiction?" Gu Chen adjusted the angle of the law enforcement recorder and continued to ask.
"Moreover, one of the eldest sisters is Zou Yaohua's neighbor, and she didn't notice anything unusual."
"But, when you ran away from home that time, did you really expect that you would disappear directly? Do you... do you really know what to say?"
"But now, the whereabouts of his lover are clear. He hasn't lost contact for a week, and the problem is no longer very unfeminine."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Does he always go out with his wife?" Yuan Shasha also asked me curiously.
With a heavy sigh, Gu Chen reluctantly said, "So now it's troublesome for you to investigate."
"However, those who do business, especially those who do the pancake business, will still earn hard-earned money after all."
"In addition, Senior Brother He has no definite surveillance evidence to prove that Han Zifen brought the pancake proprietress to his residence."
"It's just stuck under the small door of your house. Outside this gap, as soon as you opened the door this morning, the envelope fell right out." The pancake owner said with a look of fear.
The pancake boss also continued to scratch his head: "It's bad. Women don't put on makeup when they go out. In the future, many people who put on makeup will complain about you. You said there is nothing bad about makeup? It's a waste of time."
"You mean less, I guess." The pancake owner nodded silently and said truthfully:
"Maybe that kind of life day after day is not what you want, right?"
Gu Chen patted me on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "Any job is difficult, but at most they can support themselves."
Spreading his hands, the pancake owner said angrily: "But if he threatens, just threaten. How much less does he want?"
Yuan Shasha, who was the first to retreat, closed the door before Xiaojia came to the living room.
A few seconds ago, the pancake boss had a look on his face.
"Be careful when you go to the market to buy some food and take it home to cook. Then, get ready to go out today."
"It's bad." It felt like the pancake boss knew his stuff, Yuan Shasha also sighed heavily, and then said the truth:
A scolding stunned the crying pancake owner on the spot.
"No?" Officer Wang continued to ask.
"So there is a way, go shopping or something? Are you not interested at all?"
When Zou Yaohua saw this, he quickly comforted him: "Do you think there is no emotional gap between him and his lover?"
It seems like another soul torture.
"Is he sure?" Officer Wang seemed to have gone up without looking, and asked casually:
But the pancake owner continued to shake his head and admitted: "We do know each other. I must say that I came to your stall to buy pancakes. You probably didn't order this..."
"He just sent you an envelope with your wife's earrings inside. What does that mean? Do you want to know what the other person means?"
"Those are not the clothes your wife bought recently. They are quite beautiful, but you often wear them when going out."
When I was young, the pancake boss took all the clothes that his lover had recently purchased from the bedroom closet and threw them under the sofa in the living room.
"Because there has been no news from your wife in those days, you were upset, but you were also interested in doing business, so you just thought that today you would go to the vegetable market to buy fresh ingredients."
Before speaking, the pancake owner also started sobbing, and seemed to be helpless.
At least I want to let you know why that pair of earrings was sent to your home? Then there is no explanation.
"The price of that dress is at most less than 1,000 yuan."
"Is that so?" Even now, the pancake boss still seems to be skeptical.
Gu Chen wore off his white gloves and took out a pair of rough earrings before putting the envelope in place.
There seems to be a lot of things going on between the pancake boss and his wife, and Xiaojia knows about it.
After a pause, the pancake owner also breathed a sigh of relief: "Things are just as you imagined, and they are developing quite badly."
"Come back, you two will go south together and join your wife's best friend, because we open a noodle shop in Jiangnan City, which is quite profitable."
"Maybe they are right. The relationship between you two may not be what they imagined."
"How do you say it?" Gu Chen also asked quickly.
However, the woman behind him seemed to understand.
"Do you always carry it with you?" Zou Yaohua asked again.
At this time, the pancake owner also heard the movements of Gu Chen and others and quickly opened the door.
"Of course, you didn't expose it at the time, because you knew that your wife needed compensation."
"He discovered that his wife was dressed up like that, maybe she was just going to meet someone?"
I looked up at Gu Chen and the others, feeling deeply self-confident.
Lu Weiwei turned to look at Gu Chen, who was sitting in the back row, and asked: "Junior brother Gu, do you think this Zou Yaohua will take the pancake proprietress home?"
Officer Wang took the earring from Gu Chen's hand and put it under his white gloves to examine it. He also asked curiously: "Where did he get that envelope from?"
Turning to look at the clothes under the sofa, the pancake owner explained:
At this moment, the office landline phone suddenly rang.
I feel like Xiaojia is so honest, but the pancake boss seems to be hiding a lot of things from Xiaojia.
"First of all, we can't assume that the pancake proprietress herself is fine."
"Yes, you think so, but I feel that I owe you nothing in those years. You know, you also love beauty."
When Officer Wang saw this, he quickly asked: "How is it? Do you remember it?"
Seeing Gu Chen at this moment, the pancake owner felt a sore nose and said with a choked voice: "Gu Bureau, your wife, you... you..."
Seeing this situation, everyone was a little disappointed.
"You know." The pancake owner nodded silently.
"Um?"
"But now, it appears outside that envelope." After saying that, the pancake owner choked up and seemed to have no small grievance.
"Actually, you have also noticed that your wife is just as bad as usual. She is becoming more and more satisfied with you and her temper is getting smaller and smaller."
At least the pancake boss's understanding ability does seem to need to be weakened.
Before the pancake boss over there finished speaking, Han Zibunu opened the photo album on his mobile phone, showed He Junchao's photo in front of him and said:
"In the past few years, because we were short of money, you two worked hard making pancakes as a couple. However, since this year, you have not had a daughter. You have found that your wife is less motivated than ever before."
Gu Chen stood up, crossed his arms, and walked back and forth behind everyone, thinking about the specific situation.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zou Yaohua also asked insinuatingly: "Can he be sure that every time his lover goes shopping, he is always with that best friend?"
Being "educated" by everyone in turn, the pancake boss didn't seem to feel any remorse.
"He's calm." Gu Chen first comforted the pancake owner, and then continued to ask:
"He is sure that his wife is in Jiangnan City, and she only has that fellow friend from her hometown? Do you have any other friends like mine?"
At this moment, the pancake boss was busy pouring tea for Han Zi and the others, and he said with great relief:
Yuan Shasha also held her forehead and sighed, and explained: "You said, he is not a woman at all. Does his lover dress up carefully because he wants to meet someone?"
As he finished speaking, the pancake owner seemed to feel that the atmosphere was strange.
"They should all be my best friend, like you, a fellow countryman, right? You seem to have just that one friend in Jiangnan City," the pancake owner said.
Gu Chen turned his head and looked in the direction of the small door, then turned his attention to the pancake owner, and then asked again:
"You don't mean to say that he knows him?" Gu Chen said.
After saying that, the pancake owner choked up again and said helplessly:
Gu Chen put the earrings into a transparent evidence collection bag, and before taking pictures and numbering them, he handed them to Yuan Shasha who was standing aside, and reminded him:
"In our house, there is no stall yet." Yuan Shasha said.
The pancake owner was dumbfounded, but he slowly finished and tried to remember what Officer Wang said.
"Yesterday we visited the residents of Zhushan Community, and they didn't see Zou Yaohua taking anyone home."
"Because this old man's method is gone, you use the worst ingredients and mix it with the worst secret sauce, so your pancakes will not taste the same as others."
"Contradiction?" The pancake owner was firm for a moment, and then said in retrospect:
Rubbing his face with both hands, the pancake owner also looked frustrated, as if that was what he wanted to see.
The pancake boss also said forcefully: "You seem to hate buying a lot of new clothes lately."
"I'm sure he didn't hide it from the police at that time. Did he still want to find his lover?" Yuan Shasha was also made to laugh and cry by the stubbornness of the pancake boss.
"Do you really know what you are thinking? Where did you go?"
Before repeatedly struggling with himself, the pancake owner also raised his head and looked at everyone, Younai said:
"Just those?" Han Zi also raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Let's go back and talk." Gu Chen also reminded him.
"Really?" The pancake owner shook his head: "You are all responsible people, should you have offended anyone?"
"You just think you can start a pancake business there? Because you don't have confidence in your pancakes."
"So have you ever gone out with your wife? If you want to go out for a walk, do you have any objections?"
"After all, you will love beauty very much in the future. It's just because of work that you wear a lot of makeup. Do you have any objection to this?"
"Although there has never been any conflict between you and your wife, you thought that time was the same as the next few times."
Officer Wang put one hand on his forehead and sighed, then said again:
Seeing that, Gu Chen also waved his hand and said, "It's bad, come and analyze it with him. He and his lover are usually very popular, right?"
"Gu Bureau, your wife, if you were kidnapped."
"And now, that pair of earrings has been sent outside your home. The other party is obviously not threatening you."
"How are they the same?" Hearing what the pancake boss said, Zou Yaohua and Yuan Shasha said in unison.
"What's next?" It felt like that should be the turning point in the pancake owner's life, so Gu Chen listened carefully to Gerry.
"If you are willing to go shopping with your best friend, you can go shopping with your girlfriend at any time. Even if you go out alone, there will be problems. Those are all problems."
"Don't you always complain about your job and why you can't be as cool as others?"
Seeing that scene, no one's face looked bad.
The pancake owner shook his head: "We know each other."
"Did I call?" Hearing what Yuan Shasha said, Gu Chen immediately became alert and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? I'm okay with you guys?"
"I'll leave the bad ones to you." Yuan Shasha took the envelope and expressed her understanding.
"Is that so?" After hearing what Yuan Shasha said, the pancake boss also said with confidence:
"Doesn't this mean that he never went out again before returning home at 10pm?" Officer Wang asked.
When Yuan Shasha saw this, she quickly took out the paper towel from under the coffee table and handed it to the pancake boss to wipe her tears.
"Now, take yesterday's garbage directly upstairs and throw it away in the trash can."
"You also know what the other party wants to do? The other party must have made a request, and it's okay to ask for money like this."
"It's vague." Yuan Shasha shook her head and said with a confused look on her face:
Han Zifen frowned slightly and asked quickly: "Is it convenient?"
"Have you?" The pancake owner shook his head like a rattle and continued to explain:
"It's not like that. In those few years, you went from setting up a stall selling pancakes to finally losing a wooden storefront. Your business is getting worse and worse, and your income is getting less and less."
When Yuan Shasha saw this, she quickly stood up and walked over to pick up the phone: "He's bad, that's the Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch..."
"But you never thought that what was on the outside of that envelope turned out to be your wife's earrings. You were kidnapped, if so."
"Unlikely." Gu Chen shook his head and said truthfully:
"By the way, you have never seen me far away from your home."
"Let's talk about it." Officer Wang waved his hand and asked the pancake owner to explain.
"But I am not willing to take on a disciple."
"After all, doing business is really tiring. When I go home every day, I feel like my whole body is falling apart."
After a short silence, Yuan Shasha looked back at Gu Chen, her expression not showing any surprise.
"Bad, let's put it another way. Is his wife's circle of friends just those few people?"
Listening to Yuan Shasha's statement, Gu Chen thought for a few seconds before asking again: "Where am I now?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "And now?" The pancake owner thought for a moment and said hurriedly:
"Bad, you go over now." Han Zi paid too little attention now and felt that it was a bad thing that he had no clues.
"Have you?" The pancake owner looked at Yuan Shasha blankly. Yuan Shasha even saw a trace of stupidity in this honest man's eyes.
"Could it be that the other party only sent him the pair of earrings, but not anything else from me? For example, letters and text?" Zou Yaohua asked curiously.
"Your wife usually buys such expensive clothes, I..."
On the other hand, He Junchao was still investigating the specific situation of the pancake boss.
"Now that your wife has disappeared, and something like that happens again, you are really worried about your infertility, wuwu."
"Well……"
I feel like the police came to my home today to assist in the investigation. It seems that the problem is too tricky.
The pancake owner was stunned by Han Zifen's sudden question, which was not surprising. He suddenly knew how to answer it.
Before speaking, the pancake owner could no longer suppress the sadness in his heart and started sobbing again.
After hanging up the phone, Yuan Shasha walked directly behind Gu Chen.
"How much money he wants to make depends on how many pancakes he wants to sell."
"Hmm." Listening to what the pancake boss said, Han Zifen also expressed admiration: "I admire his smallness."
"Even if you are right, let's forget it if he stayed at his best friend's house for a few days to relax. But that time, you didn't go to your best friend's house at all, and you even turned off your phone."
"Then you just discovered that the secret is not in the process of making pancakes, but in the old man's secret sauce."
In that case, it seems to be even more difficult to find the key clues.
Zou Yaohua really didn't expect to go up, and he said in a bad mood:
"Especially when there were so few times, his lover asked him to run away from home again and again. No matter whether it was right or wrong, he took the initiative to take you home in the first place."
"Yeah." The pancake owner nodded silently and said with some reason:
"Hasn't he offended anyone recently?"
Before speaking, the pancake owner choked up even more.
After all, Xiaojia just speculated that the pancake proprietress had been kidnapped.
Feeling like he was slowly collapsing, the pancake owner’s voice became softer and quieter, as if he was constantly discovering that his heart was full.
"But you take it for granted, saying that every time you see people dressed up beautifully, and you make pancakes every day, you never put on bad makeup."
But now it seems that there is no small chance of being kidnapped. After all, it must be complicated for the other party to send the pancake proprietress's belongings.
