I am a super cop

Chapter 2395 Secret Blind Spot [Two in one chapter]

Things seemed to be developing in an increasingly weird direction. Out of professional habits, both Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei felt that the lady boss mentioned by the pancake boss seemed to have had an accident.

"Boss, are you sure your wife is really okay? It's been a few days and you can't even contact your wife."

"Comrade policewoman." Seeing Lu Weiwei mention this matter, the pancake owner simply said:
"Actually, I don't know how to tell you that my wife has been with me for so many years, and I know her character."

"Whenever something happens, he will have conflicts with me, and then he will run away from home and so on."

"Before this, before the two of us started making pancakes, she used to do this all the time."

Looking up and thinking, the pancake boss also said in retrospect: "I remember that when we were working in Hangzhou, she said she wanted to run away from home several times. Anyway, she always scared me for a few days. I think, this time too Roughly the same."

"Maybe it was because I quarreled with her and she felt uncomfortable, so she ran away from home. She might come back in a few days."

"Real or false?" Hearing what the pancake stall owner said clearly, Lu Weiwei didn't know the specific situation of the couple and it was difficult to make a judgment.

All I can do is remind him: "Speaking of boss, the most important thing for this couple is to live in harmony. There is no overnight feud between husband and wife."

"If it's your fault, admit it to the boss lady, and this matter will be resolved. If it's the boss lady's fault, then just be patient, and take the initiative to admit your mistake, and this matter may also be resolved."

"Yes, yes." Seeing that Lu Weiwei said this, the boss could only agree:
"Anyway, no matter how angry she is, after a few days, the anger should have dissipated. It's not a big deal. It's always trivial things, rambling, and finally a quarrel."

With a faint sigh, the owner of the pancake stall said helplessly: "This poor and humble couple has been miserable for a long time. If we were rich people, we might not have so many trivial things. We still have to work hard to make money."

"Aren't you making money from this?" Gu Chen looked at the boss's busy appearance and said with a smile:

"At the rate you are making money, I estimate that we will soon be able to achieve financial freedom."

Although Gu Chen said this, he also had his own reasoning.

According to the boss's business speed, it is estimated that if the business is good, it will be no problem to earn 70 million a year.

Even if business is not so good every day, conservatively estimating that I can earn a small amount of 50 a year should not be a big problem.

At least they earn more than ordinary senior white-collar workers.

So when the pancake stall owner said that he was a poor and humble couple, Gu Chen felt that he was exaggerating.

"Hehe." The pancake owner also grinned, and then handed the prepared pancakes to Lu Weiwei on the side and said:

"Anyway, what you said is right. I'll try to contact my wife later. I should apologize. After all, we are men, so we have to be generous."

"Yes, that's how it should be." After hearing what the pancake stall owner said, Lu Weiwei also gave a thumbs up.

After getting her pancakes, Lu Weiwei followed Gu Chen directly and went to Gu Chen's house to eat together.

……

……

A few days later, it was an ordinary afternoon.

Gu Chen was in his independent office. After signing the document, he put the document aside.

Recently, Zhao Guozhi took many of his documents directly to the deputy director's office across the street and gave them to him to handle.

Gu Chen was able to handle these documents in an orderly manner.

According to Zhao Guozhi, as the deputy director of Furong Branch, sometimes he cannot focus entirely on handling cases and needs to process some documents.

Of course, when Zhao Guozhi said this, he also had his own plan, which was to train Gu Chen and develop him in all aspects.

As a young branch director, the intensity and diversity of work that Gu Chen will face in the future will be far greater than it is now.

Handing over some of the director's work to Gu Chen in advance will be conducive to Gu Chen's growth and development.

After Gu Chen signed the document in his hand, he put it to one side, preparing to sort it out and hand it to Zhao Guozhi across the office.

But at this moment, Gu Chen's cell phone suddenly rang.

When he saw that the call was from Lu Weiwei, Gu Chen quickly opened the answer button and asked, "Senior Sister Lu, what's the matter?"

"Gu Chen, please come to the criminal investigation team office. Someone is looking for you." Lu Weiwei's tone of voice was a bit complicated, which made Gu Chen very curious.

"What's wrong? Who is looking for me?" Gu Chen was a little confused and asked relaxedly.

"A person we all know. Anyway, you will know it once you come here. He is looking for you now." Lu Weiwei said.

"Someone we all know?" Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Gu Chen had an ominous premonition in his heart.

After all, he knew Lu Weiwei too well. Lu Weiwei must have been in trouble when she spoke to him in such a heavy tone.

So Gu Chen quickly replied: "Okay, you wait for me in the office first, I will hand the documents in my hand to Director Zhao and come down."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you."

Lu Weiwei also hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Gu Chen picked up the documents in his hand, pushed open the door of his independent office, and walked directly to the opposite door.

After knocking on the door several times, there was no response from Zhao Guozhi's office, so Gu Chen pushed the door open and put the documents on Zhao Guozhi's desk, ensuring that Zhao Guozhi would see them at a glance when he came back.

After closing the office door, Gu Chen walked directly towards the criminal investigation team's office.

But as soon as he arrived at the door of the Criminal Investigation Team's office, Gu Chen found that Lu Weiwei was comforting a middle-aged man.

Gu Chen stepped forward with some confusion, ready to learn more about the situation.

When Lu Weiwei, who was facing Gu Chen, noticed it, she quickly reminded the man: "He's here."

After hearing Lu Weiwei's words, the middle-aged man with his back to Gu Chen quickly looked back.

At this moment, Gu Chen realized that this man was not the owner of the pancake shop in the shopping mall opposite his neighborhood.
"It's you?" Gu Chen was a little surprised and quickly stepped forward to ask about the situation: "What's wrong?"

"Gu Ju, I...my wife may really be missing." The pancake owner was choked with tears as he spoke.

At this moment, Gu Chen no longer saw any relief on the face of the pancake owner, but a look of frustration.

There seemed to be dark circles around his eye sockets, and he looked like he hadn't had much rest.

"You sit down first, Senior Sister Lu, and give him a glass of water." Gu Chen made arrangements.

"Okay." Lu Weiwei agreed, turned around and walked towards the water dispenser.

Gu Chen asked the middle-aged man to sit in his office seat in the criminal investigation team, and then asked curiously:

"I remember that you seemed to have said it yourself. You said that as soon as you and your lover quarreled, she would run away from home."

"Besides, this was the case when you were working in Hangzhou. Your wife ran away from home several times, right?"

"Yes." Seeing that Gu Chen still remembered what he said back then, the middle-aged man quickly nodded in agreement:

"I told you, do you still remember Gu Bureau?"

"Of course I remember." Gu Chen nodded silently and said, "What? Are you regretting it now?"

"It's a bit." The man continued to nod and said with a bitter face:

"But this time, it seems to be different from the past."

"Why is it different?" Lu Weiwei handed the tea to the pancake owner.

The pancake boss thanked him and did not go to drink. Instead, he directly put the paper cup on the desk and then explained to everyone:

"In the past, when my wife had conflicts with me and wanted to run away from home, she was just saying angry things. She just wanted to stay with friends for a few days and make me worry about her. I know this."

"But in the past, when she ran away from home, I could still get through on the phone."

"But this time it's very different. Not only has her phone been turned off, but it's been almost a week since she left."

"You have to know that she usually runs away from home and returns home on her own within two or three days at most."

"Could it be that you really made her angry this time, in a very angry way?" Yuan Shasha, who was sitting behind Gu Chen, also expressed her own opinion.

But soon, the pancake owner shook his head and denied: "No, this quarrel is also about trivial things. Anyway, the quarrel is not as good as the previous ones."

"Please explain the specific situation." Seeing the pancake boss, it seemed that there were many doubts about the situation reported to him.

Gu Chen casually picked up the notebook on the table, took out the writing pen from his pocket, and leaned against the desk, ready to record at any time.

"Alas!" The pancake owner also said "Alas", and then quickly replied:
"I remember that that morning, I went to the vegetable market to buy ingredients, and I was going to go home and prepare it before setting up a stall."

"But because we didn't check the ingredients carefully, there were many inferior products in the ingredients."

"Be more specific." Gu Chen reminded him while recording.

"Yeah." The pancake owner nodded silently and then said: "To put it simply, I am also a victim."

"For example, onions, I always buy a lot at one time, but that time, I found that the price of onions has generally risen sharply."

"So, I shopped around and didn't go to the previous store to buy."

"Later I discovered that there was a mobile stall at the entrance of the vegetable market. Their onions were affordable and I heard they grew them at home."

"Then, there are also some ingredients, which are available there, and the prices are a little cheaper than in the market."

"Because when I usually buy ingredients, in order to ensure the quality and taste, I usually choose a fixed merchant."

"But that time, I was greedy for cheap, so I didn't do this. Moreover, in order to add another supplier, I bought all the ingredients for that time from his family."

"What's the result?" Officer Wang listened to the pancake boss's talk for a long time and asked curiously.

"The result?" The pancake owner took a deep breath, shook his head, and said angrily:
"The result is that, except for a small number of these ingredients that are high-quality products, the rest are of inferior quality."

"With ingredients of varying quality like this, the pancakes produced will definitely not taste that good."

"The reason why our pancakes taste better than other businesses is because we have put a lot of effort into quality control of the ingredients."

"Yeah." Listening to what the pancake boss said, Lu Weiwei nodded silently and agreed:
"I believe this, because your ingredients are very good."

"Isn't that right?" Seeing that Lu Weiwei had said this, the pancake boss also agreed and said helplessly:

"So, that morning, I had a big argument with my wife because of this matter."

"My wife said that I don't have a long memory and have forgotten our family's principles for making pancakes? She said that if I continue to be so careless, our family's reputation may be ruined."

"It is not easy to accumulate reputation. If you destroy it, it will only happen all at once."

"I'm not exaggerating. As long as the quality is not too bad, these ingredients can be used."

"Because if we go to buy again, we will definitely not have enough time, because we usually leave at 9 o'clock, and we have to prepare for business in the boardroom around 10 o'clock."

"If I had gone to buy it at that time, it would have been too late."

"So your wife insists on not agreeing to use these ingredients, right?" Yuan Shasha said.

The pancake boss nodded fiercely: "Yes, because of this incident, I had a big fight with her. I said I would not do it again, but she insisted not to agree."

"Just like that, we both seem to be quite stubborn. Although I know that it's my fault this time, the words she said were too hurtful."

With a faint sigh, seeing Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looking at him with strange eyes, the pancake owner quickly said:

"Anyway, she was at fault, she shouldn't have said that to me."

"Okay, I don't want to hear these arguments between you now. I just want to know what happened next?" Lu Weiwei was also a little impatient.

"Later?" The pancake owner scratched his cheek and said thoughtfully:
"Later, I only remembered that my wife threw the rag on the table and said she was running away from home. Then she went back to the room, packed a few changes of clothes, took away a few bottles of facial cleanser, and ran out of the door. "

"I was also angry at the time and thought I'd make a fuss, but at that time, I wouldn't let her leave. After all, her swearing was too hurtful to her self-esteem."

When Gu Chen heard this, he nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "So you were the only one in those days, right?"

"Isn't that right? I'm almost too busy these days." At this point, the pancake owner also looked aggrieved.

Gu Chen stretched out his hand and said, "Keep talking."

"Okay." Picking up the tea on the table, the pancake owner took a sip, then breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Later on, I didn't contact her. I felt like she went to a fellow villager's house again."

"Because we are all outsiders, we don't have many relatives and friends in Jiangnan City. However, my wife has a fellow villager who also owns a restaurant in Jiangnan City." "So, she often goes to this fellow villager's house. The relationship between the two Very good, we are also best friends from the same village."

Looking up at the ceiling, the pancake owner was also thoughtful: "Think about it, maybe she will come back in a few days, but day after day, she is nowhere to be seen."

"And I work very hard every day. This is usually a job that two people do, but now I have to do it all by myself."

"You didn't ask for it." When Officer Wang heard this, he also smiled and said:

"If you had been nicer to your wife and corrected your mistake on the spot, there wouldn't have been so many things."

"Besides, the fault for this matter is yours. Why are you still so stubborn? What's wrong with you? I'm a man, can you say that?"

"That's right, that's right." Faced with Comrade Lao Wang's verbal education, the pancake boss nodded silently.

Yuan Shasha on the side quickly asked: "What happened next? Did you call me?"

"I did." As soon as Yuan Shasha finished speaking, the pancake boss also said quickly:

"Later, I worked alone these days, which made me very tired."

"I thought to myself, after so many days, even if you are still angry, you should calm down, so I tried to call him."

"But for this call, turn off the phone. Okay, you turn off the phone and I will call again later. Then, like this, I kept calling, and I called at different times, but there was no response."

"I just feel weird and don't know what's going on."

Looking up at Gu Chen who was taking notes in front of him, the pancake owner said again:

"Just last time, didn't you come to my pancake stall to buy pancakes? You also asked about this matter. At that time, I couldn't get through my wife's phone number."

"Later, I thought about what you said at that time, and I felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so I just wanted to reconcile with my wife."

"So that night, when I closed the stall and went home, I dialed her hometown phone number."

"But after asking, I found out that my wife has never been to her home, and she has not contacted this fellow villager these days."

"I was a little panicked at the time. I felt like I had gone somewhere else or something had happened?"

"But after all, what can happen to a living person? I don't understand. I think it will be fine."

After a pause, the pancake owner also took a deep breath and then said again:
"So, there was no other way, so I waited for a few more days, but no matter how I called my wife's phone number or her hometown phone number, there was no news from her."

"I'm really panicking now. I feel something is wrong. I feel like my wife must have disappeared or there must have been an accident. Otherwise, this situation would not have happened."

After saying this, the pancake owner choked up and seemed extremely aggrieved.

Lu Weiwei said angrily: "After so many days, you are thinking of calling the police. I really don't know what you are thinking?"

"Yes." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, He Junchao, who was sitting on the other side, quickly complained:
"But you are obviously in the High-tech Zone, why did you come to our Furong branch to report the crime? And you also asked Gu Chen?"

"I can't help it." Hearing what He Junchao said, the pancake owner also looked aggrieved and explained with choked sobs:

"Although my wife and I do business in a shopping mall in the High-tech Zone, the house we rent is in Furong District."

"Besides, I thought that if I went to the High-tech Zone Police Station to call the police, I would have to register and follow the procedures to make me wait, but I can't wait any longer. I have been missing for a week."

"I know it's difficult to find someone for this kind of thing. Besides, I don't have any acquaintances at the High-tech Zone Police Station."

With a choked voice, the pancake owner looked at Gu Chen and continued:

"Last time, I just said it casually, and Director Gu helped me solve the problem, and even caught the thief who was hiding deep. It can be seen that Director Gu is really a good policeman."

"You will help me no matter how small the matter is. I think if I come to you in person, you will definitely help me."

"Calm down first." Seeing that the pancake boss was a little agitated at the moment, Gu Chen quickly calmed him down.

Explained: "Listening to what you said, I feel that the situation on your side may be a bit complicated."

"If your lover's disappearance might have been an accident, then what might have happened to her when she left?"

"However, this is not difficult to check. There are so many surveillance systems now, so it is not difficult to find someone."

"It would be great if that's the case." After hearing what Gu Chen said, the pancake owner also breathed a sigh of relief, and then said again:
"I know that you, Gu Chen, are the deputy director of Furong Branch. You are a high-ranking official. With your nod, they will definitely help me with all their strength."

"You are wrong." After hearing what the pancake boss said, Gu Chen also denied it:
"Although I am the deputy director of Furong Branch, at the same time I am just an ordinary people's policeman."

"Even if you don't look for me, our Furong Branch will definitely help you find the person."

"Yes, you're right." Seeing what Gu Chen said, the pancake owner nodded silently.

But soon, the pancake owner wiped his tears with the back of his right hand, and suddenly lost control of his emotions and started sobbing.

"Why are you still crying?" Seeing that the situation seemed out of control, Lu Weiwei quickly took out the tissue on her desk and handed it to the pancake boss.

The pancake boss also held a tissue, wet the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said helplessly:

"This has never happened to us as a couple. I shouldn't have let her go. I should admit my mistakes when I should. It's no big deal."

"But now, I can't find anyone. I'm worried. This is Jiangnan City. We only have one acquaintance from her hometown. She's not there. I really can't figure out where she will go."

"Don't rush yet." Gu Chen turned the pen with his right hand and said as a reminder: "Please explain to me the time and place when your lover left home. I will ask our colleagues to retrieve the monitoring later."

"Let's see if we can find traces of your wife through surveillance."

"Thank you then." Seeing Gu Chen say this, the pancake owner finally let go of his worries.

Later, the pancake owner followed Zhao Chen's request and told all the time and place of the incident.

Gu Chen also took this record, walked directly to He Junchao, placed the record book on He Junchao's desk, buttoned the desk, and reminded:
"Senior Brother He, based on this, look for the surveillance of that day."

"Wait a moment." According to Gu Chen's request, He Junchao quickly searched for the surveillance camera near the Jianbing owner's residence, and then reminded the Jianbing owner beside him:
"Come and take a look, which one of these is your wife?"

"This." As soon as He Junchao finished speaking, the pancake boss pointed at the screen and reminded:
"This woman wearing black clothes is my wife."

"The time is right." He Junchao looked at the recorded time in the record book and then at the time on the computer screen, indicating that there was no problem.

Then, based on this surveillance perspective and the woman's walking path, the camera was constantly switched.

However, after an operation, He Junchao was suddenly stunned. After switching repeatedly, he turned to look at Gu Chen helplessly.

"What's wrong?" Gu Chen, who had a relaxed expression before, originally stood aside and waited for He Junchao to find him directly.

But now when he saw He Junchao looking at him with a bitter expression, Gu Chen hesitated.

"Gu Chen, this woman seems... to have really disappeared." He Junchao said.

"Nonsense." Lu Weiwei on the side heard this and hurriedly came over and said: "How could such a good person disappear? It must be a surveillance blind spot."

"It's right or wrong, you see." He Junchao felt that he couldn't tell clearly for a while, so he quickly pulled out the surveillance footage.

After hearing this, everyone gathered around curiously.

He Junchao pointed to the screen and explained: "This woman is his wife. After his wife comes here, pay attention, this is the last surveillance picture."

"Then her wife walked to this blind spot, and then nothing happened."

"What do you mean?" The pancake owner looked confused.

"That's right, it disappeared. There is no more surveillance footage." He Junchao spread his hands and reminded again.

The pancake owner looked confused and continued with a pleading tone: "There must be another perspective. Comrade police, please switch and take a look."

"No more." He Junchao resigned from the screen helplessly, then opened the city map, pointed to the location marked with the monitoring icon, and reminded:
"Did you see that there are only two surveillance cameras here? One is where the last scene of your wife was recorded, and the other is on the roadside."

"But, after your wife walked to this surveillance blind spot, she never appeared again, which means that your wife may be in this area."

"Could it be that she just stayed in this blind spot for a while, and then walked out of it again after a while?" The pancake boss didn't seem to give up.

This left He Junchao a little speechless, but he could also understand the pancake boss's mood at the moment.

So, He Junchao turned on the video acceleration mode and also made a "please" gesture to let the pancake boss watch it himself.

As time passed quickly, the pancake owner hunched over and stayed in front of the computer screen for a long time to observe, but there was no picture of his wife.

Beads of sweat began to appear on the pancake owner's forehead, and he seemed to be suffocating from nervousness.

However, Gu Chen, who was standing aside, also crossed his arms and reminded:
"You have to believe in the professionalism of my colleague. Since he said that your lover disappeared in this blind spot, it means that she has never appeared in the picture again."

"No, how could this happen?" Listening to Gu Chen's words, the pancake owner was dumbfounded. He also looked at Gu Chen with disbelief and asked for advice:
"Then Director Gu, where do you think my wife has gone?"

"It may be in the blind spot area, but this area is not very big, so it should be easy to find."

Gu Chen held his chin with his right hand and said thoughtfully.

Officer Wang looked at He Junchao and asked curiously: "He Junchao, didn't his wife appear from this blind spot in the next few days?"

"Ouch!" Hearing what Comrade Lao Wang said, He Junchao also put on a helpless expression, looked at Officer Wang and said:
"I said Lao Wang, is this your first day as a partner with me? If I can find someone, I will directly bring up the scene for you."

"The key is, since then, there has been no trace of his wife."

"It's not that I don't want to look for her. The key is that she can't find her. People disappear from here. Where do you want me to find someone for her?"

"It may be necessary to conduct an on-site investigation." Gu Chen also saw the problem and said quickly:

"Senior Sister Lu, come with me to conduct an on-site investigation."

"Okay." I feel like it's such a small thing, it must not be a big problem.

So Lu Weiwei quickly took off the single police equipment hanging on the wall and threw Gu Chen's equipment away.

Gu Chen took the equipment, fastened the buckle, and then reminded the pancake owner: "You also come with us."

"Alas!" At this moment, the pancake boss didn't hesitate at all.

His wife's sudden disappearance seemed to have given him a big blow.

But Gu Chen clearly remembered that when he and Lu Weiwei visited his pancake stall again a few days ago, he didn't take it seriously.

But in just the past few days, the pancake owner's mood seemed to be about to collapse, or in other words, he was already on the verge of collapse.

After getting into Gu Chen's police car, the pancake owner arrived at the scene of the incident with a feeling of apprehension.

Gu Chen took a brief look and found that this was an old community with some old warehouses surrounding it.

Due to historical planning reasons, the planning structure here is very unreasonable. The old residential areas are crisscrossed with these old warehouses, which looks extremely unreasonable.

Gu Chen, along with Lu Weiwei and the pancake owner, parked the car on the side of the road and walked directly towards the alley.

After passing through a narrow alley, everyone came to a relatively spacious open space.

Gu Chen had never been here before, so he pointed to the area in front and asked the pancake owner: "If you go this way, will it lead directly to your rental community?"

"Yes." The pancake owner nodded silently and agreed, "If you keep going this way, you can indeed lead to the community where I rent now."

"But I don't often walk this road because it's not convenient. I usually go out another way."

"It's more convenient to go to the vegetable market, and it's also convenient to take a car to the shopping mall in the High-tech Zone."

"Anyway, this is the road that leads to the community where I live, but I don't use it often."

"Understood." After hearing what the pancake boss said, Gu Chen looked back at the warehouse behind him, then walked to the door of the warehouse and looked at the gap in the door for a few times.

It can be said that the warehouses here are relatively old and are filled with building materials.

It is estimated that they are building materials left over from the renovation and development of some old communities here a few years ago.

But looking at the warehouse door and the dust on the door lock, Gu Chen could guess that few people had been here.

Moreover, when looking through the cracks in the dilapidated door of the warehouse, the interior was covered with dust. It looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, and there was no way to hide people.
