From Hu Xueli's eyes, Gu Chen saw her fear, which may be why she rushed to Jiangnan City to connect with Gu Chen's team.
Maybe it's for your own safety.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen quickly asked Hu Xueli: "What happened after that? After Nie Ping died, did that person look for you again?"
Hearing this, Hu Shirley was suddenly stunned on the spot.
Everyone at the scene looked at each other, and everyone focused on Hu Shirley.
"Hu Shirley, Hu Shirley?" Lu Weiwei called several times.
"Ah?" Hu Shirley was stunned for a moment, and then she recovered from the confusion just now.
"After Nie Ping died, did that person look for you again?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"It seems...it seems..."
After a brief hesitation, Hu Shirley's face suddenly became ugly.
"No, right?" Officer Wang seemed to have guessed the result.
Hu Shirley nodded silently and looked at everyone with a look of disbelief: "Although I don't know what happened next? But after Nie Ping died, that person really didn't look for me again."
After the words fell, Hu Shirley's breathing began to become rapid, and her entire face became extremely ugly.
She raised her head and looked at the crowd, with a look of disbelief on her face and said, "Could it be that the reason why that person never came to me again has something to do with Nie Ping?"
"You ask us, how do we know this? You and Nie Ping should know this best?" Yuan Shasha also felt confused.
But at this moment, Hu Xueli choked up, covered her mouth with both hands, and said in disbelief:
"Could it be said that Nie Ping helped me get out of these troubles? Could it be said that the reason why that person didn't cause me trouble was because of Nie Ping? Could it be that Nie Ping helped me handle this matter?"
After thinking about it, Hu Shirley continued to talk to herself: "But, I also told Nie Ping about this matter, so Nie Ping should also know about it?"
"Now that Nie Ping knows, will he handle this matter for me? But if he is handling it, how should he handle it? He doesn't even know who the other party is."
"What's more, I was about to get married in Shanghai at that time, but the groom was not Nie Ping at all. He hated me before it was too late, so how could he help me?"
It seemed that everything made it difficult for Hu Xueli to make a choice. Hu Shirley felt that her thoughts were confused. It seemed that she had never thought of these issues before.
If it weren't for the reminders from Gu Chen and others, maybe she would never think about this issue again in her life.
"Hu Xueli." Seeing that Hu Shirley was a little overwhelmed at the moment, Gu Chen simply took out his phone, showed Yang Jie's photo in front of Hu Shirley and asked, "Do you know this person?"
"This person? This person..." After hesitating for a few seconds, Hu Xueli quickly asked:
"What does this person do?"
"He was hired by his employer to rush from the magical capital to Jiangnan City and live opposite Nie Ping's shop to monitor Nie Ping's shop and his father's every move."
"This person's goal is the button of the eagle totem. He also came from the Magic City. I think he should have some connection with you and Nie Ping." Gu Chen said.
Hearing Gu Chen's explanation, Hu Shirley panicked and quickly took another look.
However, no matter what, Hu Shirley never remembered who the other party was?
After thinking about it, he still shook his head and denied: "I'm sorry, I have no impression of this person."
"Okay." Seeing that Hu Shirley seemed to know very little about the situation, Gu Chen threw a notebook in front of Hu Shirley and asked Hu Shirley to write. He also reminded him:
"Write down all the key information you know here, as much as you want."
"In addition, regarding Nie Ping, the button of the eagle totem, and the person who has been harassing you, what is the phone number? What is the email account? Write them all here."
"Okay." Listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Hu Shirley tried to stabilize her mood. Then she started to pick up the writing pen and carefully recalled every bit of the past.
Here, Hu Shirley was thinking quietly and writing seriously in the rest area of the duty room at North High-speed Railway Station.
As for Gu Chen and others, they all chose to stand outside so as not to disturb Hu Xueli.
At this time, everyone gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
"This Hu Shirley, it seems a bit complicated. The harassing phone call will find her, but it is not Nie Ping. How reliable do you think this is?" Officer Wang said.
"Not high." Lu Weiwei shook her head and said involuntarily:
"Hu Xueli said that she told Nie Ping about this matter, so Nie Ping should know the situation."
"But later we asked her if that person had harassed her again since Nie Ping's death? The answer given by Hu Shirley was actually no."
Spreading her hands, Lu Weiwei continued to ask everyone:
"Think about it, how could such a coincidence happen? Oh, I usually send threatening emails every now and then when I'm in the United States. After I return home, I can still threaten them as soon as possible."
"But once Nie Ping died, this never happened again. Isn't that ridiculous?"
Speaking of this, Lu Weiwei's eyes lit up while she was scorning him.
After slowing down for a few seconds, Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen and the others in disbelief, and said in disbelief: "What is that? Junior Brother Gu, do you think this is possible?"
"What's the possibility?" Gu Chen said.
"That's right, we might as well make a bold assumption, could the person threatening Hu Shirley be Nie Ping?"
"What?"
As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, on the other side, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha also said in unison.
Both of them felt incredible.
However, at this time, Gu Chen frowned, looked up at everyone and said, "Senior Sister Lu's suggestion just now is very constructive, and it is not impossible."
After a pause, Gu Chen continued: "Think about it, if I have been threatening you all the time, but later, Nie Ping drowned, the matter would just go away. Is it possible?"
Seeing that everyone was silent, Gu Chen quickly added: "This means that the person who harassed Hu Xueli no longer exists, as if he has disappeared."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "And the person who also disappeared from this world is Nie Ping. So why can't the person who has been harassing Hu Shirley with emails and phone calls be Nie Ping?"
"Yes." Listening to Gu Chen's analysis, Yuan Shasha also said thoughtfully: "Then it is completely possible that it is Nie Ping. Why can't it be Nie Ping?"
"We have always focused on strangers, but we have overlooked a key clue."
"That is, the other party knows Hu Xueli's whereabouts very well. For example, after Hu Shirley returned to China, she immediately received threats from the other party. Can this kind of thing be a coincidence?"
"In my opinion, the other party just wants to give Hu Shirley a blow."
"But, what is Nie Ping's motive?" Officer Wang always felt that something was wrong. He asked casually.
"Motive?" Yuan Shasha thought for a few seconds and said slowly: "Perhaps Nie Ping discovered something about Hu Shirley."
"For example, Hu Shirley's attitude towards relationships disappointed Nie Ping?"
"Because Shirley Hu ended up marrying someone from Wall Street, which is tantamount to stabbing Nie Ping in the back."
"And Nie Ping has always liked Hu Shirley, can he withstand these blows? In my opinion, no."
After a pause, Yuan Shasha continued: "If it is said that Nie Ping developed hatred out of love, what do you think is the possibility of this?"
"It's very big." As soon as Yuan Shasha finished speaking, Gu Chen blurted out.
"How do you say that?" Officer Wang raised his eyebrows, also wanting to know what Gu Chen meant.
Gu Chen took a deep breath, paused his thoughts briefly, and then said slowly:
"This is how I look at the problem. When Shirley Hu first received that kind of harassing email, maybe Nie Ping used his own number to create a prank."
"The purpose is to tease Hu Shirley, so the gaps will not be very dense. Nie Ping will come to tease Hu Shirley from time to time."
"But later, Nie Ping discovered that Shirley Hu seemed to have her own plan, which was to marry someone from a Wall Street investment bank."
"This made Nie Ping very angry and even found it unacceptable."
"It is under the influence of this kind of psychology that Nie Ping feels more and more insecure."
"Then, Nie Ping began to retaliate against Hu Shirley with harassment, which made Hu Shirley feel scared."
Looking up at everyone, Gu Chen added: "So, Hu Xueli will tell Nie Ping that she is threatened, but Nie Ping should feel secretly happy."
"Because, seeing Hu Shirley's nervousness, he might be very proud of himself, because Hu Shirley is betraying their relationship, so Nie Ping needs a revengeful mentality to comfort himself."
"Eh?" Listening to what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei also said thoughtfully:
"Not to mention, these things analyzed by Junior Brother Gu seem to make some sense."
"If the person who harassed Hu Xueli disappeared mysteriously as soon as Nie Ping died and never appeared again, it can only mean that that person disappeared like Nie Ping."
"Moreover, they disappeared at the same time, which shows that there may be some overlap in the identities of the two people."
After saying this, Lu Weiwei also took a breath, feeling that things were far from that simple.
Yuan Shasha frowned slightly and said solemnly: "If all this is true, then Nie Ping may be the one who caused the trouble."
"But several years have passed since Nie Ping's death. Why would someone from the Magic City send someone like Yang Jie to Jiangnan City again?"
"Moreover, I am quite familiar with this Nie Ping's shop. I even know the exact location of the hidden light switch under the stairs."
"I feel that there must be something fishy in this. I even suspect that Nie Ping may not be dead at all."
"What, what, what? Nie Ping is not dead at all?" Listening to Yuan Shasha's analysis, Officer Wang also looked confused, and quickly said:
"However, Nie Ping's father can confirm that it was indeed Nie Ping's body that died that year. He can't make a mistake about this, right?"
"But, Senior Brother Wang, have you ever thought about another question?" As soon as Officer Wang finished speaking, Gu Chen also raised a question.
Officer Wang's expression was stunned, and he quickly looked at Gu Chen and asked: "Gu Chen, what do you mean..."
"Yes, Nie Ping's father, that is, the white-haired old man, may have lied and covered up the truth for his son Nie Ping." Gu Chen said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.
Officer Wang also said in disbelief: "This... how is this possible? Why would this old man lie?"
"If what you Gu Chen said is true, then Nie Ping may not be dead at all. But if Nie Ping is not dead, then why does his father say that the body of the deceased is Nie Ping?"
"Senior Brother Wang, don't you understand yet?" Seeing that Officer Wang's reaction was still slow, Gu Chen also reminded him.
At this moment, Officer Wang was a little confused, but he quickly followed Gu Chen's train of thought, his eyes lit up, and he quickly said:
"Gu Chen, do you mean that the person who died back then was probably the person who had been harassing and threatening Hu Shirley?"
"And Nie Ping just killed this person, and in the end, disguised this body as himself who died for love?"
"Well, there is a possibility." Listening to Officer Wang's analysis, Gu Chen nodded in agreement.
Officer Wang sighed and said in disbelief: "This is too terrible. How could it be like this?"
"Then this means that the person who threatened Hu Xueli in the past few years has died, and the person who is still alive may be Nie Ping who should have died."
Looking up at the crowd, Officer Wang said nervously: "So, Nie Ping has been alive in the past few years, and he is living under the identity of someone else."
"But if Nie Ping is still alive, then his father, the old man of the button shop, must know the truth."
"I understand." As soon as Officer Wang finished speaking, Yuan Shasha also said seriously:
"This old man has been acting with us from the beginning to the end? He actually knows everything, but he just doesn't say it and deliberately hides it."
"As soon as we mentioned his son, he would pretend to be crazy and act stupid with us, thinking it would be best to fool him."
Thinking of this, Yuan Shasha also looked in the direction of Gu Chen and quickly said:
"Senior Brother Gu, in that case, the person who sent Yang Jie to monitor my family this time is probably Nie Ping?"
"Yeah." At this moment, Gu Chen also crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, thinking thoughtfully:
"This possibility is very high, and I suspect that if this person is really Nie Ping, then Nie Ping should have other plans of his own."
"Of course, we may not know this plan yet. We must arrest someone before we can interrogate it."
After a pause, Gu Chen continued: "However, based on the current situation, I think that Nie Ping and his old man seem to have some secrets."
"Otherwise, why would he send personnel to monitor his store?"
"Yes." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei quickly agreed:
"Besides, have you noticed? That mysterious employer can instruct Yang Jie to find the secret switch."
"The white-haired old man has said that this kind of thing is only known to him and his son, and outsiders have no idea at all."
"It can be seen that the old man may have guessed that the mysterious employer who sent people to the store may be his son Nie Ping."
"But..." After listening to Lu Weiwei's story, Officer Wang also crossed his arms and said thoughtfully:
"But since the old man already knew it, why did he still pretend to be stupid? He must have guessed who is causing the trouble in all this?"
"But one thing is that Nie Ping and the old man have a father-son relationship. They are one family. Why do they make things so complicated?"
"There may be other reasons for this."
Looking up at Gu Chen, Officer Wang added: "This old man should be interrogated carefully and find out more about this old man."
"Let me tell you Gu Chen, the more honest and responsible the old man is, sometimes he will trick you into having nothing to say, but he will have a lot of little Jiujiu in his heart."
"That's right." After hearing what Officer Wang said, Gu Chen nodded in agreement:
"Then tomorrow, we will go to the white-haired old man's house again to get to know his son Nie Ping."
"It would be best to dig deeper into Nie Ping's background based on what he left behind during his lifetime."
"In this way, we can understand a more comprehensive Nie Ping, instead of understanding Nie Ping through the stories of these people."
"I agree." Seeing that Gu Chen had said this, Lu Weiwei was the first to raise her hand in agreement.
Soon, everyone reached a unified opinion.
Just when everyone's discussion was coming to an end, the trainee policeman guarding the door heard some movement in the room, so he opened the door to the rest area and reminded Gu Chen:
"Gu Ju, she's ready."
When Gu Chen saw this, he quickly stood up and came to the door.
"Officer Gu, I have written everything I can think of on this. There is really nothing I can write. I don't know if these things will be helpful to you?"
"Okay, let me take a look." Gu Chen did not answer immediately, but quickly took what Hu Xueli had written.
After reading it briefly, it basically tells the whole process of myself and Nie Ping, from their acquaintance and falling in love to their separation. Many of them are the details of the love between the two.
It's very detailed, but Gu Chen has a master-level memory, so he can read it very quickly.
After a short time, he read all these contents, and then handed the transcript to Lu Weiwei who was aside to continue reading, while she said to Hu Shirley:
"Hu Shirley, you may have to stay in Jiangnan City temporarily. We will arrange a place for you. If there are specific circumstances, we will contact you and ask you to actively cooperate with our investigation."
"Okay, but..." After hesitating for a moment, Hu Shirley raised her left hand, briefly looked at the time, and then said slowly:
"It's almost early morning now. I can only stay here for one day at most, and I have to go back to the Magic City in the evening, because there is a very important meeting that I need to chair tomorrow."
Taking a deep breath, Hu Xueli said helplessly:
"So, there is nothing we can do. I hope you can understand."
"Let's do our best." Knowing that Hu Xueli still had a lot of work to deal with, Gu Chen didn't want to embarrass Hu Xueli.
After all, Hu Shirley rushed to Jiangnan City as soon as possible after receiving Gu Chen's call and came to cooperate with Gu Chen's investigation, which fully reflects Hu Shirley's sincerity.
Of course, Hu Shirley also wanted to come here to see Nie Ping's grave, and Gu Chen certainly understood.
So Gu Chen quickly replied: "Don't worry, we will deal with these matters as soon as possible."
"In addition, you said that you want to visit Nie Ping's grave tomorrow. We can help you arrange this. You can now stay in a hotel near the North Station. If necessary, we will keep in touch at any time and you can return to the Magic City at any time."
"Okay." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Hu Xueli nodded silently, and then said:
"I'm a little tired now, can I go to the hotel and take a nap first?"
"Okay." Gu Chen looked at the trainee police officer and reminded him, "Can you take her to the hotel we booked?"
"Gu Bureau, don't worry, just leave this kind of thing to me." Upon hearing Gu Chen's call, the trainee police officer quickly expressed his loyalty.
Afterwards, Hu Shirley left with the trainee police officer, and Gu Chen and others also got into their vehicles and returned to the police dormitory of Furong Branch.
…
…
The next morning, at 8 o'clock in the morning, Gu Chen's team arrived at the door of the button shop early.
Everyone stood there and waited quietly.
At this moment, a white-haired old man was slowly walking downhill towards the button shop.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing Gu Chen and the others, the white-haired old man also said slowly: "Officer Gu, are you here so early?"
"Isn't this to clarify the specific situation as soon as possible?" Seeing that the white-haired old man had already arrived, before the white-haired old man could take out the key, Gu Chen directly pressed back the hand that the white-haired old man used to pick up the key.
.
The white-haired old man looked confused and asked Gu Chen out of curiosity: "What's wrong, Officer Gu?"
"We didn't come here this time to come to your store." Gu Chen said.
"Then you come here this time..."
"We want to visit your home, okay?" Lu Weiwei said.
"Go to my house?" Hearing such a request, the white-haired old man was stunned, as if he had no psychological preparation.
Officer Wang also smiled and said: "What's wrong? Is it inconvenient?"
"That's not true." The white-haired old man waved his hand and continued to ask:
"I just want to know, why are you going to my house?"
"Does your son have his own room at home?" Gu Chen asked seriously.
"Yes." The white-haired old man nodded silently and said involuntarily:
"My son has his own room at home, his own bedroom, and his own study room."
"That's best." Seeing that everything was as he expected, Gu Chen also said straight to the point:
"That's right, old man, we want to take a look at your son's room. We want to see the things he had before his death, and we want to learn more about them."
"After all, your son's situation seems to be far from simple."
"What do you mean? Why didn't I understand?" Faced with Gu Chen's words, the white-haired old man seemed a little unclear.
"That's it..." Lu Weiwei on the side also hesitated to speak and looked directly at Officer Wang.
Officer Wang also smiled and quickly stepped forward to explain: "Old man, you don't have to worry too much. It's actually nothing. Really, we just want to know more about your son."
"But based on your oral description of your son's situation, what we know and grasp is still too one-sided."
"So, we need more evidence to support it, to see if your son has left anything behind?"
The white-haired old man frowned and seemed to be still hesitating.
So Officer Wang added: "For example, why did your son commit suicide for love? Did he really commit suicide by jumping into the river for love? Or for something else? We all need to investigate this clearly."
"Of course he committed suicide out of love." When he heard what Officer Wang said, the white-haired old man's emotions seemed to be suddenly ignited, and he looked very nervous.
Of course, all this was seen by Gu Chen, but Gu Chen did not show it. He quickly stepped forward and said comfortingly:
"Old man, please calm down. What we mean is that a person's sacrifice for love must require a lot of inner struggle. This process is very painful."
"However, this is accompanied by many other factors. We are just doing it as a matter of routine and want to know more about your son's situation."
Seeing that the white-haired old man's mood seemed to be softening, Gu Chen quickly said:
"After all, the people who are monitoring your family now are targeting your son's belongings. We have to figure this out, right? So as not to pose a threat to your personal safety."
"That...that's okay." Seeing the reason given by Gu Chen, he couldn't refute it.
After a brief hesitation, the white-haired old man still made a compromise and sighed:
"If you want to visit my house, then come with me."
"Okay, thank you, sir." Seeing that the white-haired old man finally relented, Yuan Shasha quickly thanked him.
Then, a group of people walked directly behind the old man with his hands behind his back, and walked downhill together to a high-end residential area on the opposite side of the street.
The white-haired uncle took everyone into the community, took the elevator, and when he arrived at a large flat floor in the community, he also used his fingerprint to unlock the door.
Then, he turned to look at the crowd and said, "This is my home, come in."
"Is your home so big?" Lu Weiwei stood at the door and took a casual look. She felt that the luxurious decoration was incredible at first glance, and the decoration fee must be sky-high.
Afterwards, everyone took out their ankle boots and put them on at the entrance, and then walked into the house.
I have to say that the large flat floor area does give people a feeling of openness.
But in this huge space, only the white-haired old man lived.
This feels somewhat incredible.
But from the shoes placed at the door, it is not difficult to tell that there is only one white-haired old man in this family.
The white-haired old man took everyone to the living room, and then took out many drinks and fruits from the large refrigerator to entertain everyone. He also said casually:
"I rarely have guests over at home, so I don't save much."
"You're welcome." Taking the drink from the white-haired man, Lu Weiwei thanked her and then asked:
"By the way, uncle, I would like to ask, are you the only one who lives in your house?"
"Yes." The white-haired old man sat on a hanging wicker chair by the floor-to-ceiling window and sighed helplessly:
"My wife passed away a few years ago, and my son also passed away a few years ago."
"I also had children when I was old, so now I have no children."
"Then you have so much real estate, who will you give it to when the time comes?" Officer Wang was also very curious.
After all, the white-haired old man is a rich man. He has more than ten apartments in his house, all of which were obtained by selling land back then.
In the entire Jiangnan City, it can be regarded as the only one of its kind.
But now that there are no children, there is no one to inherit, which is sad.
The white-haired old man also sighed and said helplessly:
"Without my son, there will be no heir to my family property."
"There was also a kind person who wanted to help me introduce another partner, but I am already old and I really don't have the thought."
With a faint sigh, the white-haired old man said helplessly: "Later, many members of the opposite sex took the initiative to approach me, but I knew very well that they only had my dozen or so properties in mind, and they were not sincere."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I have read countless people, and I am very accurate in judging people. The more this happens, the more troubled I am. I feel like I have been walking on thin ice my whole life."
"It was very hard to make a living from farming in the early years. Later, the land was developed into a real estate business district, and I followed my fellow villagers and became a very wealthy demolished household."
"But now that I have money, I originally thought that my son would no longer have to suffer with me. He can do whatever he wants and I will do whatever he wants. I can support him."
Having said this, the white-haired old man also sighed heavily, lowered his head, and couldn't help but sigh:
"But fate is a trick. It always gives you such a blow when you are proud of yourself, catching you off guard."
"I have figured it out now. After living for so many years, I am satisfied. Therefore, I decided that after my death, all these properties will be donated to our local folks and do some good deeds."
"How about donating all the more than ten apartments?" Listening to what the white-haired old man said, Officer Wang couldn't help but sigh:
"Then you are really generous."
"It's helpless." Seeing Officer Wang say this, the white-haired old man also sighed helplessly.
It seems that the death of his son Nie Ping has caused a serious psychological shadow on him, and he has begun to become wantless.
When Gu Chen saw this, it was still unclear whether the white-haired old man was acting for everyone to see.
Of course, the main point of Gu Chen coming here is to find out the whole story between Nie Ping and his father.
I also want to know, did Nie Ping really die for love?
So, Gu Chen quickly asked the white-haired old man: "By the way, old man, which room is your son Nie Ping's room?"
"This room." The white-haired old man pointed to a room and reminded:
"This is my son's bedroom."
"What about the study? Where is your son's study?" Yuan Shasha asked quickly.
"Here." The white-haired old man pointed to a new location and explained:
"This is my son's study. He also likes to read and shut himself in the study."
"Sometimes, he also likes to make some works of art in the study room. He completes many of the productions in the study room."
"Okay." After hearing what the white-haired old man said, Gu Chen glanced at Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha and said:
"Senior Brother Wang, Xiao Yuan, how about you go and have a look at Nie Ping's bedroom, and Senior Sister Lu and I will go to the study."
"No problem." Seeing what Gu Chen said, Officer Wang tilted his chin at Yuan Shasha: "Xiao Yuan, let's go to the bedroom."
"Okay." Yuan Shasha agreed and followed directly behind Officer Wang.
Gu Chen also winked at Lu Weiwei, and the two of them immediately walked towards the study.
