I am a super cop

Chapter 2400 Anonymous Envelope [Two in one chapter]

Of course He Junchao understood what Gu Chen meant. Originally he was just looking for a missing person case, but there seemed to be many unknown secrets behind it.

Of course, due to working all night last night, He Junchao had already sorted out the affairs between the pancake proprietress and the fishery driver Zou Yaohua, and also knew that there seemed to be an unusual relationship between the two.

Now Gu Chen's investigation direction has turned 180 degrees. He Junchao felt Alexander, but still accepted it happily.

After a brief communication, the two also hung up the phone.

In the following period, Gu Chen kept in contact with Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong who were following Zou Yaohua.

But no abnormalities were found, so what Gu Chen has to do now is to continue waiting for the results of the investigation.

……

……

The next day, 9 am.

Gu Chen was sitting in the office, quietly sorting through the documents in his hands.

On the other hand, He Junchao was still investigating the specific situation of the pancake boss.

Lu Weiwei turned to look at Gu Chen, who was sitting in the back row, and asked, "Junior brother Gu, do you think this Zou Yaohua will take the pancake proprietress home?"

"Unlikely." Gu Chen shook his head and said truthfully:
"Yesterday we visited the residents of Zhushan Community, and they didn't see Zou Yaohua taking anyone home."

"Moreover, one of the eldest sisters is Zou Yaohua's neighbor, and she didn't notice anything unusual."

"In addition, Senior Brother He has no definite surveillance evidence to prove that Zou Yaohua brought the pancake proprietress to his residence."

With a sigh, Gu Chen said helplessly: "So now it is troublesome for us to investigate."

"First of all, what is certain is that the pancake proprietress herself has problems."

"As for Zou Yaohua, the suspicion cannot be eliminated. However, are the words he said about the boss's husband true or false? At present, it is difficult to judge."

"Yes." Lu Weiwei knew that the current situation was seriously insufficient to pose a threat to these people.

At this moment, the office landline phone suddenly rang.

When Yuan Shasha saw this, she quickly stood up and walked over to pick up the phone: "Hello, this is the Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch..."

After a brief silence, Yuan Shasha looked back at Gu Chen, her expression a little surprised.

"Okay, I understand, you protect the scene first, um, yes, we will come later, um, that's it."

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Shasha walked directly to Gu Chen.

"What's wrong, little Yuan?" Gu Chen also noticed something strange about Yuan Shasha.

Yuan Shasha said directly: "It's the pancake boss calling."

"Did he call?" Hearing what Yuan Shasha said, Gu Chen immediately became alert and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? He has something to do with us?"

"Well, he said that he had news about his lover. Someone sent him something, and that thing is his wife's belongings."

"What?" Upon hearing this, Officer Wang stood up directly and said in disbelief:
"So, his wife was indeed kidnapped?"

"I don't know." Yuan Shasha shook her head and said with a confused look on her face:

"He said he was panicked now and didn't know what to do. He thought of the phone number we left for him, so he called."

"So he has no choice but to come over and have a look with us."

Listening to Yuan Shasha's statement, Gu Chen thought for a few seconds before asking again: "Where is he now?"

"In their home, there is no stall yet." Yuan Shasha said.

"Okay, let's go there now." Gu Chen didn't care too much now, feeling that it was a good thing to have clues.

After all, everyone had just speculated that the pancake proprietress had been kidnapped.

But now it seems that there is a high probability of being kidnapped. After all, it must not be easy for the other party to send the pancake proprietress's belongings.

Putting on their police equipment, everyone drove directly to the community where the pancake boss lived.

According to the address, Gu Chen walked directly to the door.

At this time, the pancake boss also heard the movements of Gu Chen and others and quickly opened the door.

The moment he saw Gu Chen, the pancake owner felt a sore nose and choked up his voice as he said, "Gu Bureau, my wife...she..."

"Let's talk after we go in." Gu Chen also reminded.

"Oh." The pancake owner gave up his position and immediately let Gu Chen's team enter the room to discuss.

Yuan Shasha came in last. After closing the door, everyone came to the living room.

At this moment, the pancake owner didn’t even bother to pour tea for Gu Chen and the others, and said anxiously:

"Gu Bureau, my wife must have been kidnapped."

"What do you say?" Gu Chen also asked quickly.

At this moment, the pancake boss also looked around, found an envelope on the coffee table, and handed it directly to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen put on his white gloves, took the envelope, and took out a pair of exquisite earrings from inside.

Looking up at the pancake boss in front of him, Gu Chen frowned and asked hurriedly: "This is..."

"My wife's earrings," the pancake owner said.

"Do you always carry it with you?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

"Yes." The pancake owner nodded silently and said involuntarily:

"My wife usually wears these earrings, and she also wore them on the day we had a fight."

"But now, it appears in this envelope." After saying this, the pancake owner choked up and seemed to feel a great grievance.

Officer Wang took the earring from Gu Chen's hand, put it on his white gloves and looked at it, and asked curiously: "Where did you find this envelope?"

"It was stuffed in the gap above the door of my house. As soon as I opened the door this morning, the envelope fell directly." The pancake owner said with a look of fear.

Gu Chen turned his head and looked in the direction of the door, then turned his attention to the pancake owner, and then asked again:
"Then what day did you go home last night?"

"Last night..." After thinking briefly for a few seconds, the pancake owner also said thoughtfully:
"I remember, it seemed to be around 10 p.m., I remember, I cleaned up the garbage in the kitchen around 10 p.m."

"Then, take yesterday's trash directly downstairs and throw it into the trash can."

"That means you haven't gone out since you got home at 10pm?" Officer Wang asked.

The pancake boss nodded fiercely: "Yes, after 10 o'clock in the evening, I locked the door."

"Because there has been no news from my wife in the past few days, I am upset and have no intention of doing business. I just decided not to go to the vegetable market to buy fresh ingredients today."

"Just go to the market to buy some food and take it home to cook. Then, I don't plan to go out today."

"So, I didn't get up until after 8 o'clock. I was getting ready to go out at 9 o'clock, and then I found that when I opened the door, an envelope fell down."

"Out of curiosity, I picked up the envelope, but it was not signed. I felt strange and felt that there was something inside, so I returned home and opened the envelope."

After saying this, the pancake owner choked up again and said helplessly:
"But I never expected that what was in this envelope was actually my wife's earrings. She must have been taken away, that's for sure."

At the end of the sentence, the pancake owner also started sobbing and seemed to be helpless.

"Calm down." Gu Chen first comforted the pancake owner, and then continued to ask:
"Have you offended anyone recently?"

"No." The pancake owner shook his head like a rattle and continued to explain:

"I have said before that we are just ordinary people and we are relatively humble when doing business in other places."

"Moreover, I get along quite harmoniously with my peers, and I never have any conflicts with others."

"I don't think I have offended anyone, and I don't know who is trying to make things difficult for me."

At the end of the sentence, the pancake owner choked up even more.

When Yuan Shasha saw this, she quickly took out the tissue on the coffee table and handed it to the pancake boss to wipe away her tears.

Gu Chen stood up, crossed his arms and walked back and forth in front of everyone, thinking about the specific situation.

While turning to look at the pancake owner, Gu Chen also asked curiously: "You said you didn't offend anyone, but what about your lover? Has she offended anyone recently?"

"No, right?" The pancake owner shook his head: "We are all responsible people, so we shouldn't have offended anyone?"

"Could it be that the other party only sent you this pair of earrings and nothing else? Just like letters and text?" Lu Weiwei also asked curiously.

But the pancake boss shook his head and said in denial: "No, there is nothing in the envelope except these earrings."

"I don't know, what does the other party want to do? If the other party makes a request, then it's okay to ask for money."

"But they just sent me a pair of earrings, and they got nothing."

After sobbing, the pancake owner was also quite helpless: "I really don't know, what should I do?"

"Now that my wife is missing and something like this happens again, I'm really worried about her safety, wuwu."

At the end of his speech, the pancake owner could no longer suppress his sadness and sobbed again.

"Okay." Officer Wang frowned and shouted:
"What you are crying about now is not the solution. The top priority is to find clues."

A scolding stunned the crying pancake owner on the spot.

Officer Wang crossed his arms and said angrily: "Do you know what your wife is like at ordinary times?"

"I know." The pancake owner nodded silently.

"Then tell me." Officer Wang waved his hand and asked the pancake owner to explain.

The pancake boss tried to calm down and then said slowly:

"As a couple, apart from making pancakes, I usually stay at home the rest of the time, and my wife usually stays with me."

"Then she never went out alone?" After all, Lu Weiwei knew what happened between the pancake proprietress and the driver Zou Yaohua who delivered aquatic products, so she asked insinuatingly.

The pancake owner nodded silently: "I go out occasionally, usually for a walk, or go shopping with her fellow restaurant owner."

"Then you never go out with your wife?" Yuan Shasha also asked him curiously.

The pancake owner shook his head: "I usually finish my work every day and then lie down at home."

"After all, doing business is really tiring. When I come home every day, I feel like my whole body is falling apart."

"So there's nothing I can do, go shopping or something? I'm not interested at all."

"So I haven't gone out with my wife. She wants to go out for a walk, and I don't have any objection."

After hearing what the pancake boss said, everyone immediately understood.

It starts over and over again, making pancakes day after day, and then going home and finishing the whole day mechanically, it seems that is all this couple has.

It’s no wonder that the pancake proprietress’ best friend said that the pancake proprietress wants a divorce.

Moreover, the pancake proprietress probably doesn’t want to live this kind of life, and this idea is very urgent.

However, the man in front of him didn't seem to understand at all.

Seeing this scene, everyone's expressions were not pretty.

Lu Weiwei also asked insinuatingly: "Then are you sure that every time your lover goes out shopping, he is always with this best friend?"

"This one……"

The pancake owner was stunned by Lu Weiwei's sudden question, which was a bit confusing, and he didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

So Lu Weiwei continued to ask him: "So, you are not sure, right?"

"They should all be with her hometown best friend, right? She seems to be her only friend in Jiangnan City." The pancake owner said.

"Are you sure?" Officer Wang seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and asked casually:
"Are you sure that your wife only has this hometown best friend in Jiangnan City? Doesn't she have other friends?"

"Uh……"

It seems like another soul torture.

Officer Wang put one hand on his forehead and sighed, and then said:

"Okay, let me put it another way. Are these the only people in your wife's circle of friends?"

"Absolutely." The pancake owner nodded silently.

"Then have you noticed that your wife has undergone some different changes recently?" Officer Wang asked again.

The pancake owner was stunned, but soon began to try to remember based on what Officer Wang said.

"Is there any?" Officer Wang continued to ask.

The pancake owner scratched his head and thought: "Okay...it seems a little different?"

"What's the difference?" Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha said in unison after hearing what the pancake owner said.The pancake boss also said weakly: "She seems to like to buy a lot of new clothes recently."

"Then what?" Lu Weiwei seemed to want to continue to guide the pancake boss to think.

The pancake boss also continued to scratch his head: "It seems that she started to put on makeup when she went out. She rarely put on makeup before, and I complained about her. I said, what's so good about putting on makeup? It's a waste of time."

"But she didn't take it seriously, saying that every time she saw people dressed up beautifully, she made pancakes every day and never put on makeup properly."

"So, I didn't think too much about it at the time. After all, my wife works hard and she can do whatever she wants."

"After all, she used to love beauty, but she seldom put on makeup because of her work. I have no problem with that."

"That's all?" Gu Chen also raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Yes, isn't this unusual enough? She didn't like to dress up that much before." The pancake boss reminded her.

Gu Chen coughed twice and continued: "Then have you ever thought about whether your lover, wearing exquisite makeup and newly bought clothes, is going shopping with his best friends? Or is he going to meet someone?"

"Ok?"

Listening to Gu Chen's words, the pancake owner was stunned and seemed a little unresponsive.

Lu Weiwei really couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily:
"Didn't you realize that your wife dressed up like this, maybe just to meet someone?"

"No way?" Until now, the pancake boss seemed to still refuse to believe it.

Yuan Shasha also held her forehead and sighed, and explained: "Let me tell you, you have never doubted that your lover dressed up carefully because he was going to meet someone?"

"No." The pancake owner looked at Yuan Shasha blankly, and Yuan Shasha even saw a hint of stupidity in the honest man's eyes.

Seeing this situation, everyone was a little disappointed.

At least the Pancake Boss's understanding does seem to need to be strengthened.

Seeing this, Gu Chen waved his hand and said, "Okay, let me analyze it for you. You and your lover are usually very popular, right?"

"Yes." Faced with Gu Chen's question, the pancake owner answered simply.

"Then, suddenly for a while, your lover began to dress himself carefully and even bought a lot of new clothes."

After saying this, Gu Chen also looked around and asked the pancake owner: "Can you take out your lover's clothes and take a look?"

"Uh..." After hearing what Gu Chen said, the pancake owner seemed a little hesitant.

Lu Weiwei frowned slightly and asked hurriedly: "Is it inconvenient?"

"No...no, okay then, I'll go look for it now."

I feel like the police came to my home today to assist in the investigation. It seems that the problem is too tricky.

But now the pancake boss seems to have no other choice but to cooperate with the police.

Not long after, the pancake boss was in the bedroom closet, took out all the clothes that his lover had recently purchased, and threw them on the sofa in the living room.

"These are the clothes my wife bought recently. They are all very beautiful, but she rarely wears them when going out."

Yuan Shasha took out one of the dresses, looked around, and asked the pancake boss: "Do you know how much this dress costs?"

"How much?" Scratching the back of his head, the pancake owner thought back and said, "My wife said it seemed to be more than 200 yuan."

"Okay." Feeling that the pancake boss didn't know what he was selling, Yuan Shasha also sighed softly, and then revealed the truth:
"The price of this dress is at least 1000 yuan."

"More than 1000 yuan?" When he heard this number, the pancake owner's heart skipped a beat, and he was a little in disbelief.

So Yuan Shasha took out another piece of clothing, observed the front and back for a few seconds, and then said:
"This one, the price is almost over 1000, and this one, this one is the same."

"No way?" After hearing what Yuan Shasha said, the pancake owner said in disbelief:
"My wife usually doesn't buy such expensive clothes. He..."

After the words fell, the pancake owner seemed to feel that the atmosphere was strange.

He looked up at Gu Chen and the others, and fell into deep self-doubt.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei quickly comforted her: "Let me tell you, is there an emotional gap between you and your lover?"

"No...nothing, our relationship has always been very good." Faced with Lu Weiwei's question, the pancake boss answered quite simply.

It seems that the relationship between him and his wife is indestructible.

Lu Weiwei also sighed and said helplessly: "We are here to help you find the whereabouts of your wife, but at this time, you still refuse to tell us the truth."

Shaking her head, Lu Weiwei also said angrily: "Then how do you want us to help you?"

"Yes, what is your relationship as husband and wife? We outsiders definitely don't know."

"But now, your lover's whereabouts are unknown and he has been out of contact for a week. This problem is already very serious."

"If you are still hiding something from our police at this time, do you still want to find your lover?" Yuan Shasha was also dumbfounded by the stubbornness of the pancake boss.

Being "educated" by everyone in turn, the pancake owner seemed to feel a little guilty.

After repeatedly struggling with himself, the pancake owner looked up at everyone and said helplessly:
"Maybe you are right, the relationship between the two of us may not be what you think."

"What exactly is that? You'd better explain it clearly, so that we can all think of ways to help you and find out the whereabouts of your lover." Officer Wang was also worried about the pancake boss.

It feels like everyone is so honest, but this pancake boss seems to be hiding many things from everyone.

In this case, it seems to be extremely difficult to find the key clues.

At least let everyone know why this pair of earrings was sent to your home?There must be something to this.

There seems to be many things between the pancake boss and his wife that everyone doesn't know.

At this moment, the living room was surprisingly quiet, and the pancake owner sighed heavily, and then said helplessly:

"Actually, I also noticed that my wife seems to be different from usual. She is becoming more and more dissatisfied with me and her temper is getting louder and louder."

"Where is the contradiction?" Gu Chen adjusted the angle of the law enforcement recorder and continued to ask.

"Contradiction?" The pancake owner hesitated for a moment, then said in retrospect:
"Maybe this kind of life day after day is not what she wants, right?"

"How do you say that?" Lu Weiwei didn't quite understand.

But the pancake boss smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly: "Before, we all worked in Hangzhou. Although it was easy, we didn't make much money."

"Later, one time we traveled to the north, in a small county next to our hometown, and met an old man who made pancakes."

"The old man's pancake making technique looks ordinary, but the taste is surprisingly delicious."

"At that time, we felt that if such delicious pancakes were introduced to the south and sold, it would be very profitable."

"So I made a plan with my lover and wanted to discuss with this man and learn to make pancakes from him."

"Then what?" It felt like this should be a turning point in the pancake owner's life, so Gu Chen listened very carefully.

"Then?" The pancake owner thought for a moment and said slowly:

"Then we discovered that the secret was not in the process of making pancakes, but in the old man's secret sauce."

"So we want to learn. It doesn't matter if we spend money, but the old man is not happy."

"Although he is old, even though his stall is in a small town, even though his business depends entirely on his old bones, he can't do many in a day."

"But he is unwilling to take on an apprentice."

"Okay." After hearing what the pancake boss said, Lu Weiwei said helplessly:
"It should be because the money is not enough. If the money is available, it should be no problem."

"That's about it." The pancake owner nodded silently and said truthfully:
"Later, my wife and I also spent a lot of money to learn the secret sauce. We learned it from the old man for a few days."

"Later, the two of us went south together and joined my wife's best friend, because they opened a noodle shop here in Jiangnan City, which was quite profitable."

"We just thought, can we start a pancake business here? Because we are confident in our pancakes."

After a pause, the pancake owner breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Things are going just as we imagined, and they are going very well."

"Because we follow the old man's method, we use the best ingredients and add the best secret sauce, which makes our pancakes taste different from others."

"That's it. In the past few years, we have gone from setting up a stall selling pancakes to finally having a wooden storefront. The business is getting better and better, and the income is also increasing."

With a faint sigh, the pancake owner looked at Gu Chen and said:
"However, those who do business, especially those who do this kind of pancake business, will still earn hard-earned money after all."

"How much money you want to make depends on how many pancakes you want to sell."

"In the first few years, because we were short of money, we worked very hard to make pancakes. But starting from this year, I found that my wife's enthusiasm is not as good as before."

"She started complaining about her job from time to time and why she couldn't be as cool as others?"

After saying this, the pancake owner also covered his face with his hands and became choked up when speaking.

Gu Chen patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "No job is easy, but at least you are self-reliant."

"Yes, that's what we think, but I feel like I owe her a bit these years. I know she also loves beauty."

Turning to look at the clothes on the sofa, the pancake owner explained:
"Actually, I have noticed a long time ago that these clothes cost more than 200. I thought it might be five or six hundred, but I didn't expect it to be so high."

"Of course, I didn't expose it at the time because I knew that my wife needed compensation."

"Yeah." Listening to what the pancake boss said, Lu Weiwei also looked admiring: "I admire your generosity."

"Especially so many times, your lover has run away from home with you time and time again. Regardless of right or wrong, in the end it was you who took the initiative to take her home."

"It can be seen that you still love your lover very much, but haven't you noticed anything unusual about her?"

"Are you telling the truth?" Faced with Lu Weiwei's question, the pancake owner raised his eyebrows and immediately asked and answered himself:

"Okay, actually I have noticed something. We have been married for so many years, and I know her too well."

"Actually, I just turn a blind eye. She wants to buy new clothes. No matter how expensive they are, I won't say anything. As long as she is happy."

"She is willing to go shopping with her best friends. She can go at any time. Even if I go out alone, it's no problem. All of this is no problem."

"But when she ran away from home this time, I really didn't expect that she would disappear directly. I...I really don't know what to say?"

Rubbing his face with both hands, the pancake owner also looked frustrated, as if this was not what he wanted to see at all.

Gu Chen sat on the sofa opposite, also clasping his palms together, thinking, "Then don't you have any suspicion in your heart?"

"No." Shaking his head, the pancake owner looked helpless: "To be honest, I don't know who to suspect?"

"Although there have always been conflicts between my wife and I, I thought this time it would be the same as the previous times."

"Even if I'm wrong, let's forget it if you stay at your best friend's house to calm down for a few days. But this time, she didn't go to her best friend's house at all, and even turned off her mobile phone."

"I really don't know what she was thinking? Where did she go?"

Looking at the pair of earrings placed on the table, the pancake owner also pointed and said:

"And this pair of earrings, I bought them as a birthday gift for my wife. She always likes them very much, so she almost always wears them."

"And now, this pair of earrings has been sent to my home. The other person is obviously threatening me."

Spreading his hands, the pancake owner said angrily: "But if you threaten, just threaten. How much do you want?"

"What do you mean by just sending me an envelope with my wife's earrings in it? I want to know what the other person means?"

Feeling like he was about to collapse, the pancake owner’s voice became louder and louder, as if he was constantly discovering the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Gu Chen put the earrings into a transparent evidence collection bag, took pictures and numbered them, and handed them to Yuan Shasha who was standing aside, reminding her:
"Bring it back to Gao Chuanfeng and others from the City Bureau's Technology Section and ask them to extract the fingerprints on the earrings and envelopes."

"Okay, leave it to me." Yuan Shasha took the envelope and expressed her understanding.

So Gu Chen said to the pancake boss again: "One more thing, I want to ask you, do you recognize a man named Zou Yaohua?"

"Zou Yaohua?" Frowning, the pancake owner also looked confused: "Who is he?"

"That means you don't know him?" Gu Chen said.

The pancake boss shook his head: "I don't know."

"He came to your pancake stall to buy pancakes. He is a driver who delivers aquatic products to the aquatic product base to the market." Lu Weiwei reminded from the side.

But the pancake owner continued to shake his head in denial: "I really don't know you. If you have ever come to my stall to buy pancakes, then I should be a bit..."

Before the pancake boss finished speaking, Gu Chen had already opened the photo album on his mobile phone, showed Zou Yaohua's photo in front of him and said:
"That's him. Take a closer look and think about it. Have you seen him recently? If so, where was he?"

Gu Chen's question seemed to guide the pancake owner's thinking.

He followed Zhao Chen's request and began to think carefully.

After a few seconds, the pancake boss had a look on his face.

Upon seeing this, Officer Wang quickly asked: "How is it? Have you remembered?"

"I'm not very impressed, but in the past month, it seems that some people have come to my store to buy pancakes." The pancake owner scratched his cheeks, was suddenly startled again, and suddenly looked at Gu Chen and said:
"By the way, I also saw him once near my house."
