"What's the next plan?" When it felt like the noodle shop owner was a master of layout, everyone couldn't help but become alert.
Do you feel like this guy has a back-up plan?
Lu Weiwei also said straightforwardly: "Then what is your next plan?"
"Her husband is also involved," the noodle shop owner said.
"Then what are you going to do?" Officer Wang is now eager to know how this guy wants to turn this matter into a mess.
The noodle shop owner calmed down and then said slowly: "I originally wanted to create a conflict between her and her husband, and then give all the doubts to his husband."
"Moreover, I want to involve Zhao Deming and create the illusion that he killed the pancake proprietress."
"Because I know that the reason why I wanted to steal my father's secret recipe was this woman's idea."
"Moreover, the person who pushed down my father was also this woman, because I did not want to drive away all men."
"I just want him to live in guilt and live in fear every day."
"Because this is the only way to make his life worse than death."
When he said this, the noodle shop owner also had a fierce look on his face.
Yuan Shasha took a breath: "It seems that you are quite cunning, but the reason why you don't kill this pancake proprietress is just to mess up this muddy water, right?"
"Yes, I just want to disturb this muddy water." Looking up at the crowd, the noodle shop owner said without changing his expression:
"Because I overheard the conversation between that woman and my wife, I knew that she wanted to make a plan to go to the mining area to find her former colleague Zhao Deming."
"Because she took a counter-reconnaissance and asked her ex-boyfriend to take her to the ferry bridge, and then take a boat to the mine dock."
"So, even if you police want to investigate, it must be her problem, and you can't investigate me."
"I could just take advantage of this and use a trick to kidnap this woman near the mining area, and then frame the blame on the manager of the mining area, Zhao Deming."
"Then isn't he very unjust? He has become your scapegoat?" Listening to the noodle shop owner's statement, Yuan Shasha also felt unworthy for Zhao Deming.
But the noodle shop owner laughed dryly and couldn't help but said: "Then you are wrong to think so. As far as I know, this Zhao Deming is not a good person."
"He is notorious in the mining area, and he used many despicable means to get to his current position."
"For such a bad person, what's wrong with me teaching him a lesson?"
"I once knew that he got entangled with the families of his subordinates for his own selfish desires. I have no sympathy for such a morally corrupt bastard."
"So you are going to put all the responsibility for kidnapping the pancake proprietress on Zhao Deming?" Gu Chen said.
"Yes, I just want to pass the blame to him." Faced with Gu Chen's doubts, Zhao Deming did not shy away and continued:
"I know that your police will investigate why that woman didn't live in my house? So, if at this time, Zhao Deming is suspected again."
"Then all this will have nothing to do with me, and you won't be able to suspect me."
Taking a deep breath, the noodle shop owner said again: "Of course, provided you can investigate this far."
"But now it seems that you will be able to find those bloody things in Zhao Deming's home much faster than I expected."
"So this is all your careful planning?" Lu Weiwei said.
"Yes, it was my careful layout, because I wanted to make it look like someone else kidnapped the woman and killed her."
"And if this Zhao Deming cannot tell the whereabouts of that woman, then he will also be in trouble."
After a pause, he looked up at Gu Chen and the others. The noodle shop owner also said slowly:
"Of course, I won't pity this kind of person, I even hate this kind of person."
"Because in the beginning, my ex-wife left me because she was with a bastard like Zhao Deming."
"So, I don't sympathize with Zhao Deming at all. It's all her fault that he will die on his own."
"What I have to do is to do this thing perfectly and make you feel that the murderer is Zhao Deming."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
I feel like this noodle shop owner is indeed much more powerful than everyone thinks.
At least he can use the anti-tracing skills of the pancake proprietress to get deeply involved, and even set up a trap to frame Zhao Deming, making Zhao Deming the murderer pursued by the police, or the number one suspect.
Of course, when Gu Chen first started investigating, he did regard Zhao Deming as the number one suspect.
The reason is also very simple, because all the evidence and doubts point to Zhao Deming. If you want to say that Zhao Deming has no problem, then there is really a problem.
But at the same time, Gu Chen also noticed that the bloody objects found in Zhao Deming's home seemed too random.
If according to common sense, Zhao Deming committed the murder in his own home, then Zhao Deming is a big fool.
Because committing a crime at home, no matter what, will leave many traces of the crime that cannot be erased.
If Zhao Deming had any brain, he would not do such stupid things.
Moreover, it was not difficult for Gu Chen to find out through contact with Zhao Deming that Zhao Deming was actually a very smart guy.
Such a smart person made a stupid mistake. Gu Chen felt that it shouldn't be done.
The second is to throw away those bloody things at home, especially under the bed.
In Gu Chen's opinion, this is somewhat unjustifiable.
In other words, wouldn't Zhao Deming be afraid of hiding these bloody weapons at home?
Moreover, a place like under the bed is somewhat unjustifiable.
And the bloody blade in the storage room.
If you want to hide the murder weapons, there is no need to separate and discard the murder weapons in different places, and it is not the hidden kind.
This shows that the murder weapon was found too casually.
It was precisely because of these suspicions that Gu Chen was able to pay more attention when investigating Zhao Deming.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Only at the final stage, I found the noodle shop owner and discovered that he was the real mastermind behind the scenes.
But to be honest, if the little girl had not taken out the chocolate wrapper folded into a paper crane, she might have missed the evidence.
Fortunately, there was no danger. In the end, Gu Chen found a breakthrough in the key details and found the source of that chocolate in the wholesale market.
It can be said that there is some element of luck.
Gu Chen didn't know before that why the noodle shop owner kidnapped the pancake proprietress and framed the unlucky Zhao Deming at the same time?
But after listening to the noodle shop owner's story just now, Gu Chen could finally understand why he hated Zhao Deming so much.
The reason is that Zhao Deming is very similar to the man who stole his ex-wife, and has exactly the same experience as a bastard.
This is why, obviously, the noodle shop owner can deal with the pancake proprietress, but he has to give it to the mining manager Zhao Deming.
Because only in this way can we vent our personal anger and give the noodle shop owner a sense of satisfaction.
"So you hate Zhao Deming so much because of your ex-wife?"
"Yes." Faced with Gu Chen's questioning, the noodle shop owner became tough again:
"My ex-wife left me and my father passed away. These were the last straws that broke my heart."
"I know these people deserve to die. If no one is going to solve these problems, then let me solve them."
"It just so happens that that woman secretly came to the mining area this time and gave me a golden opportunity."
"I just used the information I overheard to prepare this operation in advance, and it was seamless."
After saying this, the noodle shop owner also choked up. Looking at Gu Chen in front of him, the noodle shop owner said unwillingly:
"But I absolutely shouldn't, I just shouldn't have met you Gu Chen. I admit that I underestimated your ability to handle cases."
"I thought that with a little cleverness, I could completely evade your police investigation."
"But when I found out that you had traced all the way to Zhao Deming in the mining area, I panicked."
"Because, you guys are much ahead of schedule than I expected."
"In other words, I even feel that you shouldn't be able to investigate."
"Haha, that's because you are too conceited." Listening to the noodle shop owner's story, Lu Weiwei also snorted coldly.
It feels like this guy just didn't know Gu Chen's reputation and power in advance.
But now seeing him fall into Gu Chen's hands, Lu Weiwei felt extremely happy.
The noodle shop owner nodded fiercely: "Yes, I was careless. I didn't notice this."
"All this is because I trusted my own judgment too much and I shouldn't have given that little girl a piece of chocolate."
"Without that piece of chocolate, the layout of all this would have been perfect. I just missed a move."
"What's the use of saying this now?" Looking at the noodle shop owner's remorseful look, Officer Wang also said angrily:
"You are indeed very smart in what you do, but you are also a bastard. You can obviously use legal weapons to protect your rights, but you choose to go to extremes."
"Is it just because you want to make life worse for these two couples?"
"That's right." Looking up at Officer Wang, the noodle shop owner leaned forward and said unwillingly:
"I have been unlucky for most of my life, but why is fate still teasing me? My ex-wife betrayed me and left, and my father was killed by an adulterer."
"Who should I look for in all this? Who else can I look for?"
"I know that I am just an ordinary citizen with limited abilities, but I can take revenge in my own way. I only have revenge in my heart."
When he said this, the noodle shop owner was breathing heavily, as if these grievances had been surrounding him and would not dissipate.
Gu Chen was silent for a few seconds and then said slowly:
"So, in the past few years, there has been nothing that can make you let go of your hatred? Are you just doing this for revenge? Are there no other more meaningful things?"
Gu Chen asked a series of questions, which made the angry noodle shop owner stunned again.
He looked at Gu Chen, slowly lowered his head, thought for a few seconds, and then said slowly:
"Actually, there are some."
"When I met my current wife, I knew that the first half of my life had been in vain."
"I have never met anyone who tolerates me as much as she does, and even supports me unconditionally, repaying evil with kindness."
"I obviously lost all the hard work she had saved over the years and caused her to lose a lot of money, but she still stayed with me without hesitation, started a family with me, and started a new business with me."
Shaking his head, the noodle shop owner wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes with the back of his right hand and said with choked sobs:
"What if, in the past few years, I have been preparing for revenge and haven't done anything meaningful."
"Then marrying my wife is the most meaningful thing."
"When I was with her, I almost forgot my vow of revenge."
"Every time I see her talking and laughing with her bastard best friend, and even letting her bastard best friend live in my house, I feel unspeakably awkward."
"Because he was my father's enemy back then, but he is right in front of me, and he even lives under the same roof."
Taking a deep breath, the noodle shop owner patted his chest hard, shook his head and sighed:
"I know that if I take revenge, it will chill my wife's heart, but I still can't let go of my hatred."
"Because I know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If I miss this opportunity, it may be almost impossible to find such a good opportunity again."
"I know that I must act as soon as possible to complete my revenge on these dogs. This is all I think about."
Looking up at Gu Chen, the noodle shop owner also said in frustration: "So Officer Gu, I really want to take revenge as soon as possible, and then live a stable life with my wife, and let go of everything from now on."
"But your act of revenge is already a crime. Do you know what you are doing?"
Listening to the noodle shop owner's true story, Gu Chen's eyes widened and he was filled with grief and anger.
The noodle shop owner may have been a good person and had a wonderful family.
In other words, after encountering various misfortunes in the first half of his life, he met his current wife.
And the current wife, with her kindness, has made up for the noodle shop owner's various unsatisfactory experiences in the first half of his life.
Originally, in this environment, the two of them could live happily.
But the noodle shop owner still chose to take risks and took revenge.
Gu Chen felt sorry for him, and also felt sorry for his wife.
I obviously felt that I had found a man I could rely on, but I didn't expect that this man would be so cunning.
The so-called inferiority and humility are just guilt towards his wife.
But towards the Jianbing couple, the noodle shop owner never let go of his old hatred.
When did the so-called retribution of injustice happen? Gu Chen also knew this truth very well, so Gu Chen felt sorry for him and felt that it was not worth it.
At this moment, the noodle shop owner was covering his face with his hands, filled with regret.
Perhaps at this moment, he truly felt that the person he was most sorry for was not his lost father, but his current wife.
"Where is the pancake boss lady now?" Gu Chen suppressed his anger and asked him in a calm tone.
The noodle shop owner slowly raised his head. He knew that he had made a big mistake and he couldn't continue to behave like this.
What Gu Chen said just now has awakened himself. If he continues to be so stubborn, he will be a real bastard.
After thinking about it again and again, the noodle shop owner choked up and said, "I kidnapped her into an abandoned mine and gave her some food and water, enough for her to live for three days."
"Three days?" After hearing these words, Lu Weiwei frowned and said quickly:
"So, you only gave her three days, just because you wanted to starve her to death of thirst?"
"That's right." Faced with Lu Weiwei's question, the noodle shop owner did not shy away and said straightforwardly:
"Originally, I wanted to kill her that night, because only by killing her could I relieve the hatred I had felt for so many years."
"However, I was still a little merciful. I thought letting her live a few more days would be my last gift to her."
With a heavy sigh, the noodle shop owner also choked and said: "So, I only prepared three days of food and water for normal people."
"After three days, it will be up to God whether she is dead or alive. I just want her to get the punishment she deserves."
"Where is the specific address?" When the noodle shop owner said this, Officer Wang immediately panicked.
You know, as of now, the pancake proprietress has been out of contact for a week.
If according to what the noodle shop owner said, she was only given food and water for three days, then no matter how frugal the pancake owner was, she would die of hunger and thirst after a week.
Thinking of this, Officer Wang was startled and felt that something big was going to happen.
"It's in an abandoned mine over there in the mining area. It's a bit far from the guest house, about one kilometer." The noodle shop owner said.
"Take us there now." At this moment, Gu Chen couldn't wait any longer and hurriedly said to everyone:
"Brother Wang, please contact 120 rescue immediately and ask the ambulance to follow us to the mining area for rescue."
"No problem." After hearing Gu Chen's arrangement, Officer Wang immediately took out his cell phone and started to communicate.
Gu Chen walked directly to the noodle shop owner, picked him up, and warned him: "If you don't want to regret it, take us there quickly."
…
…
Not long after, everyone hurriedly took the noodle shop owner downstairs and pushed him into the car.
Afterwards, Gu Chen started the vehicle and drove quickly towards the mining area.
Officer Wang had already contacted the ambulance and quickly explained to Gu Chen:
"I have asked the ambulance to rush directly to the mining area. I told the ambulance to contact me after they arrive at the mining area and we will meet there."
"Very good." Gu Chen didn't have many thoughts now, he just wanted to get to the mining area as soon as possible.
Driving at night, we were driving in the suburbs heading towards the mining area, so there were obviously not as many vehicles on the road as there were during the day.
Gu Chen was also able to speed up.
When a group of people drove to the door of the mining area guest house, Gu Chen glanced at the noodle shop owner in the back row and asked, "What next? Where to go?"
The noodle shop owner slowly raised his head and looked ahead.
"Say it." Officer Wang was furious and shouted angrily.
If we don't save people now, all we will save is a corpse.
But the noodle shop owner said calmly: "Drive the car forward, and I will tell you where you go."
"I hope you don't play tricks on me." Gu Chen also felt that he could trust the noodle shop owner for a while.
So he continued to start the vehicle and drove forward without stopping.
The vehicle came to a wasteland, and the noodle shop owner pointed directly to the left and said, "Drive to the left."
"But there is no road on the left, are you sure?" Because the vehicle is driving in a ravine, the road is also very narrow.
Especially the road surface that is damaged by those large trucks makes it difficult for vehicles to drive.
But on the left is a wasteland with no roads at all, just weeds.
Lu Weiwei reminded: "You'd better tell the truth, this is a wasteland, how can you judge the direction?"
"Because of this tree." Faced with doubts, the noodle shop owner pointed to the big tree in front of him and said involuntarily:
"Although I don't know the specific location, I will use these plants as targets."
After a pause, the noodle shop owner continued to explain: "As long as you encounter this tree, go to the left and there will be wasteland and weeds."
"But don't worry about this, just drive inward. Although the road inside is not easy to walk, you can get through it."
"Okay." It felt like the noodle shop owner said it so carefully that Gu Chen didn't want to worry about it anymore. He stepped on the accelerator and accelerated directly.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then when the vehicle came to a slope, Gu Chen felt that the vehicle could no longer move forward, and even an off-road vehicle could not drive up it.
So he stopped the vehicle in front of this slope, turned to look at the noodle shop owner in the back row, and reminded him: "Get out of the car."
The group of people got out of the car quickly.
In order to prevent the noodle shop owner from playing tricks, Officer Wang also put rose gold handcuffs on him in advance.
At this moment, the noodle shop owner was escorted to the middle position and looked at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen asked him: "What next? How to get there?"
The noodle shop owner looked around.
Because it was dark, Yuan Shasha directly handed him a bright flashlight.
Holding the flashlight in his hand, the noodle shop owner used the super strong flashlight light to scan around, and then determined the specific location and said:
"Just go over here, and then walk a few hundred meters further. There is a turning point at the top of a hill, which is the abandoned mine."
"I heard from the locals that this mine was left over from the previous mining. It has been abandoned here for decades, and few people go there now."
"And it was only after on-site inspection that I determined that the woman could be temporarily locked up in this abandoned mine."
After a pause, the noodle shop owner also took a deep breath and then said slowly:
"I found such a place for her and let her fend for herself, which is worthy of her."
"Haha." Lu Weiwei sneered at the noodle shop owner's "fake kindness" and continued to remind:
"You take us there now, immediately."
The noodle shop owner didn't refute anything at this moment? He was taken here by the police to find someone.
Of course, the noodle shop owner is also very curious now, wondering if the pancake proprietress is still alive?
For more than a week, there was only a small amount of water and food. For ordinary people, there might have been no chance of survival.
So everyone is now holding on to the last glimmer of hope, hoping that everything will be fine.
Of course, this is just everyone's expectation, but what will be the result? No one can say for sure.
"Rustling!"
In the dark night, everyone kept walking hard through the weeds. After a while, they arrived at the place dictated by the noodle shop owner.
The noodle shop owner pointed to the area in front and said: "This is it, this is the abandoned mine."
Hearing what the noodle shop owner said, Gu Chen immediately picked up a strong flashlight and shined it forward.
Because the police's bright flashlight has enough light, it can illuminate this area from night to day.
Gu Chen also quickly discovered that there seemed to be a similar cave entrance in front of a pile of weeds.
Gu Chen took the lead and walked over, pushing aside the weeds that were taller than a person, and then he discovered that there was indeed a cave.
"Found it." Gu Chen reminded: "If you don't look carefully, you really can't tell that there is an abandoned mine cave here."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen also began to carefully examine the appearance of the cave entrance.
Since it was a mine entrance that had been abandoned for decades, the entrance to the mine had long been covered by weeds. Gu Chen even discovered that there was a closed gate not far from the mine entrance.
Gu Chen slowly walked forward and illuminated the wooden door in front of him with a light.
At this time, the wooden door was also in a state of decay.
There are even spider webs of various sizes around the wooden door.
When Officer Wang saw all this, he was also curious and asked: "How did you open the folding door?"
"I know how to unlock." Faced with Officer Wang's questioning, the noodle shop owner also said slowly:
"When I was young, I often followed a group of delinquent youths and did theft for a period of time."
"So, I didn't learn anything else, but I learned a lot about lock picking."
"Well, I've learned the lesson." After hearing what the noodle shop owner said, Yuan Shasha nodded in agreement:
"If you are not good at picking locks, then you will not be able to see that someone picked the lock and entered the villa owned by the mining manager Zhao Deming."
"It shows that you are really good at picking locks."
"Thank you for the compliment." Listening to Yuan Shasha's "irony", the noodle shop owner certainly knew it very well.
So he took the initiative to step forward and use his handcuffed hands to brush away the cobwebs in front of him.
Then we came to the wooden door.
At this moment, the old lock on the wooden door has been replaced with a new one.
Officer Wang turned around and asked, "Where is the key?"
The noodle shop owner didn't hesitate and took out a bunch of keys from his pocket.
Then, find one of them and open the door lock in front of you directly.
Then, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei pushed the wooden door open together.
With a crisp "squeak" sound, the old wooden door slowly opened.
Immediately afterwards, all kinds of dust fell from the top of the head.
Everyone dusted off their shoulders and slowly walked toward the inside of the mine using police high-power flashlights.
Since the mine has been closed, the place looks very desolate.
Especially the long-term closure makes the smell in the cave very unpleasant.
Everyone fanned with their hands from time to time to allow some air circulation.
"This is it." As everyone was moving forward, the noodle shop owner reminded.
Everyone turned around and saw that there was a large open space in the original turning area.
At this moment, everyone discovered that on one side of the open space, there seemed to be a figure lying there.
Lu Weiwei was startled and quickly shone a flashlight on it.
At this moment, everyone saw clearly that the person lying on the ground was the pancake proprietress who had been missing for more than a week.
At this moment, everyone discovered that various snacks and mineral water were randomly discarded around them, and there was even a small toy flashlight.
A flashlight like this can't sustain lighting for a long time at all, so it's basically enough for the pancake proprietress to light it up while she's eating.
The pancake proprietress's right leg was tied with a thick iron chain.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Shasha felt a sore nose and said with sobs: "How desperate would it be if people were locked up in such a dark place where the sky and the sky don't respond and the earth and the earth don't work?"
"Yeah." Lu Weiwei sniffed and felt that the pancake proprietress was really pitiful.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But at this moment, the pancake proprietress was lying there, motionless, looking like a corpse.
So Officer Wang hurried forward, shined a light on the pancake proprietress, then quickly opened the pancake proprietress's eyelids, and called out: "Wake up, wake up, how do you feel now? Can you talk?"
The call seemed to bring no response from the pancake proprietress.
Officer Wang glanced at Gu Chen and shook his head helplessly: "It seems like it's really cool."
"Let me take a look." Gu Chen quickly came to the side of the pancake proprietress, carefully checked the pancake proprietress's aura and veins, and said slowly: "There is still a little breath, it should be possible to save her."
After the words fell, Gu Chen quickly turned to look at Lu Weiwei, also reminding him: "Senior Sister Lu, please call the ambulance quickly and see where they are?"
"If you get to the mining area, tell them our address and ask the ambulance to come quickly. In addition, you and Xiao Yuan go outside to respond."
"Okay." After listening to Gu Chen's instructions, Lu Weiwei quickly went with Yuan Shasha to the outside of the mining area to look for ambulance support.
At this moment, Gu Chen is staying here with Officer Wang and the noodle shop owner.
The noodle shop owner is being guarded by Police Officer Wang and cannot escape.
Since the pancake proprietress was currently weak and could not withstand the torment, even if Gu Chen wanted to carry her out of the mine, the pancake proprietress probably would not be able to withstand the torment.
He obviously only has his last breath left, but if he keeps struggling, he might die right now.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, Gu Chen could only take out his police kettle and slowly bring the water in the kettle to the cracked and bloodless lips of the pancake proprietress.
Let the water moisten her lips drop by drop.
And he kept calling the landlady to keep her awake.
Not long after, Gu Chen heard a movement outside.
As multiple flashlight lights shone in, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha also successfully brought the emergency personnel into the cave.
"Doctor, come and take a look." Officer Wang saw this and quickly reminded him.
Several medical staff immediately came to the pancake proprietress with medicine boxes, and then began to diagnose the pancake proprietress.
Gu Chen and others took the initiative to give up their seats to allow the surrounding air to circulate.
After a moment of inspection, the medical staff briefly dealt with the specific injuries, and then performed another first aid operation. Then they began to take out a stretcher and lift the pancake proprietress onto the stretcher, preparing to transport her out of the mine.
