Hu Shirley sat at a loss in the interrogation chair and looked very anxious.
Opposite him, Gu Chen had already opened the notebook, looked up at Hu Xueli, and said:
"Hu Shirley, have you been to Nie Ping's cemetery?"
"Go...been there." Looking at Gu Chen's sharp eyes, Hu Shirley seemed a little afraid.
"How do you feel about seeing your old friend again?" Gu Chen did not ask Hu Xueli from the beginning, but talked to her about his feelings.
Hu Xueli frowned slightly and said slowly: "It has been a few years since Nie Ping left. In the past few years, although I have been sent by the company to the branch in Magic City to handle various projects."
"However, I will never forget that Nie Ping chose to commit suicide by jumping into the river in the magical capital that day because of my engagement."
"You mean, Nie Ping committed suicide by jumping into the river because of this?" Lu Weiwei asked her again to confirm.
Hu Shirley's eyes dodge, but she quickly regained her composure, and quickly nodded in agreement:
"Yes, after he heard about my situation, he felt that it was impossible to be with me anymore, so, so..."
Having said this, Hu Shirley seemed to be unable to speak any more. She held her forehead and seemed a little dizzy.
Seeing this, Yuan Shasha quickly asked: "What's wrong with you?"
"Maybe I caught a cold." Rubbing her eyebrows, Hu Shirley couldn't help but said:
"I rushed from the capital city to Jiangnan City overnight, and then went to Nie Ping's cemetery to visit him. I was a little dizzy because of the cold wind."
"Then can you hold on?" Officer Wang said.
"Okay, I'm fine." Hu Shirley waved her hand, indicating that she could still persist.
"Okay, let's continue." Seeing this, Gu Chen also started to get into the topic and said:
"Hu Shirley, do you still remember that you told us about your ex-boyfriend Nie Ping's button?"
"You mean, I gave him the button with the eagle totem?" Hu Shirley said.
"Yes." Gu Chen nodded and continued to explain: "The button of the eagle totem seems to have gotten you into trouble. To be precise, it should have gotten you into trouble."
"That's right. Didn't I tell you about this before?" Hu Xueli flipped up her hair and said calmly:
"But it didn't appear again after that. I don't know what happened?"
Looking up at Gu Chen, Hu Xueli asked: "Excuse me, Officer Gu, why are you asking me this?"
"We found the real relics about Nie Ping." Gu Chen said.
"Uh." It felt like Gu Chen was acting strange today, but Hu Xueli still tried to ask him:
"Officer Gu, haven't Nie Ping's relics been kept by his father? Isn't it easy to find them? Just ask his father directly."
When Gu Chen heard what Hu Xueli said, he couldn't help but shake his head and explained:
"You think the problem is too simple. Is there something else you haven't told us?"
"Uh, Officer Gu, what do you mean by that?" I felt like I didn't understand what Gu Chen meant. At this moment, Hu Shirley seemed to be in a complicated mood.
Gu Chen also continued: "Let's put it this way, when you bought the button of the eagle totem in the trendy store in Shanghai, was it a single item? Or was there another matching item?"
"Supporting items? What matching items? I don't know." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Hu Xueli shook her head and put on an innocent face.
Officer Wang couldn't stand it any longer, so he got straight to the point: "Hu Xueli, are you coming to Jiangnan City this time just to visit Nie Ping's cemetery and to communicate with us about the previous matters?"
"Of course, what else? Shouldn't I come over?" Hu Shirley seemed a little confused.
But Officer Wang shook his head and smiled slightly: "Hu Shirley, if you want to get out of trouble as soon as possible, I advise you to tell the truth."
"Don't think that if you don't tell us, we won't know what your problem is?"
"Uh, what, what are you doing?" Feeling a little confused by Officer Wang's question, Hu Shirley took a deep breath nervously, and then asked again:
"I'm not sure what you want to ask? Can you explain it more clearly?"
"To put it more clearly..." Gu Chen paused and then said slowly:
"That means we have found Nie Ping's real relic, which is the button of the eagle totem."
"His father had previously placed his son Nie Ping's relics in a wooden box on the second floor of the shop. It was a replica that was copied one to one using drawings made by Nie Ping during his lifetime."
"But now the real eagle totem button is in our hands."
Speaking of this, Gu Chen also specially observed the changes in Hu Xueli's expression.
It can be said that Hu Shirley's face was extremely nervous at this moment.
It seems that Hu Shirley cannot hide this expression, and her eyes are also erratic.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk!”
Lu Weiwei knocked on the table and said as a reminder: "Shirley Hu, pay attention."
"Oh." Hu Shirley, who had regained her composure, quickly said "oh" and asked again: "Then what?"
"Then we disassembled the button of the eagle totem and found that there were a lot of parts inside, and each part had some tiny numbers on it."
"These numbers seem to represent some meaning, maybe a password or something like that. However, we currently don't have any reference objects, so we think there should be corresponding objects."
With a slight sigh, Gu Chen stared at Hu Xueli in front of him and said:
"So, can you please explain, are there any other additional items to the Eagle Totem Button that you purchased from the Magic City Fashion Store?"
"No...no." Faced with Gu Chen's doubts, Hu Shirley still shook her head in denial.
"Is it true or false?" Officer Wang said.
"Comrade police, you...how can you not believe me?"
"I really don't know anything. The button that Nie Ping and I bought for the eagle totem is a separate existence with no other add-ons..."
"Hu Xueli." Seeing Hu Xueli's eyes panicked and looking around, but not daring to look into Gu Chen's eyes, Gu Chen also reminded him and said:
"look into my eyes."
With Gu Chen's request, Hu Shirley raised her head slightly.
Gu Chen said again: "Tell me now, do you know anything about the Eagle Totem Button add-on?"
"I……"
"Is there someone else behind you who is instructing you to do things?" Hu Xueli was halfway talking when Gu Chen continued to ask.
Hu Shirley was really panicked now. She took a breath and then nodded silently.
"So there is?" Yuan Shasha said.
"Yes, you are right, there is someone behind the scenes."
"Who?" Seeing that Hu Xueli was finally willing to tell the truth, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
I feel like I can finally pry some truth out of Hu Xueli's mouth.
But Hu Xueli hesitated for a moment, then raised his head slightly, as if the words were on his lips, but he didn't know how to say them.
"Hu Shirley, tell me what you know." Officer Wang reminded again.
At this moment, Hu Shirley also closed her eyes so that her emotions could recover quickly.
Hu Shirley was so nervous that she began to tremble all over.
But after a while, Hu Shirley seemed to have truly stabilized her mood, and then she slowly said:
"I was the one who panicked."
"Speak clearly." It seemed that at this time, Hu Shirley had truly broken through herself and was willing to tell the truth honestly. Gu Chen also urged her quickly.
Hu Shirley nodded silently and continued to explain: "I lied to you before and said that since I returned to China and Nie Ping died, the person who harassed me has never appeared again or contacted me."
"None of this is true?" Lu Weiwei asked with raised eyebrows.
"It's not true." Hu Shirley shook her head and couldn't help but say:
"Actually, during that time, that person continued to harass me and threatened me. If I didn't hand over the button of the eagle totem, he would be rude to me."
"The other party even knew my specific address. It felt like they were really targeting me. I felt that my personal safety was seriously threatened."
"Then what happened next?" Officer Wang asked.
"Later? Later I had to find a way, yes, I had to find a way, because I knew that Nie Ping committed suicide by jumping into the river. Although I was very sad, after all, the thing was in Nie Ping's hands."
"So, I told the other party that that thing is in Nie Ping. If you want it, go find Nie Ping."
"What happened next? I don't know very well, but I know that Nie Ping's relics are still there. However, I don't know whether that relic was bought for Nie Ping by me, and I can't guarantee it."
"What happens next?" Listening to Hu Shirley's story, Yuan Shasha also asked.
"Then? Later, the person who harassed me seemed to have disappeared and never came to harass me again."
Shaking her head, Hu Shirley also choked and said: "I don't know, what exactly did they do to Nie Ping?"
"I don't know if the eagle totem button on Nie Ping's body is still there?"
"Anyway, during that period, I had a peaceful day, and I knew that maybe this trouble wouldn't come back to me again."
Having said this, Hu Xueli suddenly sighed, put her hands on her forehead, pushed her hair back, and then looked at Gu Chen with a haggard look:
"Officer Gu, I don't know what's going on? Just some time ago, after a few years of calm, that familiar voice that was processed with voice-changing software appeared again."
"Moreover, this time, the other party also made harsh words and asked me to find the button of the eagle totem for him."
"I was a little confused at the time because that button had always been kept by Nie Ping's father."
"Besides, I said at the beginning that the thing was worn on Nie Ping. If the other party took action at that time, it might not be easy for him to do so."
"However, when he was sent to the crematorium, the relics were not taken away. They were kept at his father's place."
Speaking of this, Hu Shirley couldn't hide her emotions, and thoughts surged in her mind.
She sniffed and choked and said, "I don't know what's going on? Why did that person threaten me like this?"
"I have no choice. When I heard that you wanted to ask me about Nie Ping, I thought that I might as well come to Jiangnan City and learn about the relevant situation."
"After all, there is someone behind me staring at me, and I don't even know who the other person is?"
"But you have said so much, but you haven't said the main point yet." Seeing that Hu Xueli kept making twists and turns with everyone, Gu Chen also quickly urged:
"Does the button of the eagle totem have an attachment?"
"Okay...it seems there is, right? I'm not sure." Hu Shirley lowered her head, her whole body trembling with fear.
Officer Wang frowned: "How do you say that?"
"Because I feel that there may be some secrets hidden in the button of Nie Ping's eagle totem."
"Because, after we purchased it from a trendy store, I started receiving threats by email and phone calls."
"Later, I slowly thought about it and felt that there must be something else in the button of the eagle totem that we don't know about."
"And what you said, the other corresponding accessory item may have always existed, right? Maybe it is in the hands of the person who threatens us."
"After all, he insisted that the button with the eagle totem was just stored by him in the trendy store and was not for sale."
"But it was sold in the end, wasn't it?" Officer Wang said.
"Yes." Nodding silently, Hu Shirley continued:
"So I feel that the button with the eagle totem may not be what the person who threatened me said it was stored in a fashion store."
"I even suspect that that guy may have hidden this item in the store to avoid something. However, the unknowing clerk mistakenly thought it was a trendy item in the store and put it up for sale."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Having said this, Hu Shirley wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand and continued to explain:
"Later, I also felt that things were definitely not that simple."
"Especially the button of the eagle totem, it feels like there are some secrets inside."
"Otherwise, that person wouldn't have threatened me through emails and phone calls over and over again. He even started threatening me when I was studying abroad."
Shaking her head, Hu Shirley also sighed and said helplessly:
"I can't understand why the other party would do this?"
"Later, I also guessed something. Perhaps the other party had the corresponding item in his hand, but the other half of the item, the button of the eagle totem, is now Nie Ping's relic."
"As for that guy, did he get Nie Ping's relics? I don't know, but I feel like he didn't find it? Otherwise, he wouldn't be so eager."
Speaking of this, Hu Xueli seemed to be thinking of something again? She quickly said:
"Oh, by the way, the person you are talking about is the person who was hired by his employer to spy on the store opposite Nie Ping's father and sneak into his store. Perhaps he was sent out by that person."
"Are you saying that the person who hired that person to spy on Nie Ping's father and the person who threatened you behind the scenes are actually the same person?"
Officer Wang listened to this explanation and couldn't help but think about it carefully.
Thinking that the other party hired so many people, they would spare no effort to find Nie Ping's real relics.
It can be seen that the other party is really anxious. Maybe this item is very important to the other party.
However, due to various reasons, the other party has been unable to clearly locate the specific location of Nie Ping's relics.
Maybe the other party had already obtained the fake relic, but found that it was completely different from the object he really wanted.
Gu Chen listened to Hu Xueli's account and said slowly:
"Hu Xueli, then the real purpose of your coming here this time is to do something for that person, right?"
"Absolutely." Lowering her head, Hu Shirley was choked with sobs and couldn't help wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand:
"I know that all this turmoil may have been caused by Nie Ping's eagle totem button."
"I don't know, what is that button for? Why do so many people want it?"
After the words fell, Hu Shirley turned to look in the direction of Gu Chen and shook her head helplessly:
"Officer Gu, I really can't help it. I just want a stable life and don't let these harassments continue."
"Because if this continues, I'm afraid that one day my spirit will be stimulated and I will choose to follow Nie Ping's footsteps and commit suicide by jumping into the river."
"Bah, bah, bah! How can you say such a thing?" Seeing that Hu Shirley was so extreme, Lu Weiwei quickly tried to persuade her.
Yuan Shasha also quickly said: "Yes, Hu Shirley, what can't you think about?"
"If you know something specific, you might as well share it boldly, and don't always ask us to follow you around the bush."
Turning to look at Gu Chen beside her, Yuan Shasha reminded her: "Senior Brother Gu, you..."
"Let me tell you." Seeing that Yuan Shasha had finished answering her question, Gu Chen simply crossed his fingers, looked up in the direction of Hu Xueli, and asked:
"So, Shirley Hu, who do you think the person who has been harassing you behind your back is?"
"I……"
"Tell the truth." Lu Weiwei reminded.
Hu Xueli frowned and thought, and said thoughtfully: "I actually went to find that trendy store in private, but their boss was not here."
"The store clerk definitely doesn't know the specific situation because the prices are clearly marked and the products all have brand names."
"It's just that the button of the eagle totem is missing, but it has always been placed in an inconspicuous position."
"That's why the clerk, who didn't understand the situation, mistakenly thought it was one of the items in the pile."
"The products are valued according to their exquisite workmanship and placed in the previous area."
With a faint sigh, Hu Shirley continued to explain: "Why is this? Later, I spent a high price to buy this product and gave it to Nie Ping."
"From then on, I got into big trouble."
"But fortunately, with Nie Ping's death, this trouble has never come to me again."
Looking up at Gu Chen, Hu Shirley leaned forward and continued:
"But this time is different. The other party seems to have already understood something? This time, he, he may just want to get back what belongs to him, and his attitude is very determined."
