I am a super cop

Chapter 2410 Who is lying [two in one chapter]

Of course, Gu Chen didn't know what kind of relationship the noodle shop owner had with his lover.So much so that the noodle shop owner's wife avoided her husband when discussing matters with outsiders.

In Gu Chen's opinion, this was indeed a bit unbelievable.

But are these situations just nonsense from the noodle shop owner?At present, it is difficult for Gu Chen to judge.

But Gu Chen could tell that the noodle shop owner seemed to have low self-esteem.

In other words, he seems to be more honest, which is indeed a bit different from the eloquent boss lady.

But the two were husband and wife, and Gu Chen couldn't put their relationship aside, so he asked again:
"You said you belong to an outsider? What do you mean? You two are husband and wife."

"Yes." Faced with Gu Chen's doubts, the noodle shop owner nodded silently and said involuntarily:

"We are husband and wife, but my wife usually makes the decision at home, and everything is handled by her."

"So even the cleaning work after closing is left to you?" Lu Weiwei had known this for a long time, so she mentioned it casually.

But this mention made the noodle shop owner lower his head, seeming extremely humble.

Officer Wang couldn't stand it any longer, so he said "tsk" and asked hurriedly:
"Brother, what's going on here? Why don't you two husband and wife look like a family?"

"We were not a family before." Facing Officer Wang's questioning, the noodle shop owner raised his head and said slowly:
"We are getting married for the second time, and this store used to belong to her family."

"You're not waiting for a while." When Yuan Shasha heard this, she also looked confused and quickly said:

"We co-own your store, but we still want to split it up with each other?"

"Yes." Feeling like he didn't know how to say it, the noodle shop owner looked up at everyone and said slowly:
"I don't have much ability. My previous wife ran away with someone, and I came to this city alone and destitute."

"At that time, she took me in and asked me to be a clerk in the store."

"At that time, the store was several times larger than it is now, and there were several employees."

"But later on, I slowly learned to make noodles. One day after cleaning, I just wanted to practice my craft."

"But that night, I accidentally burned down the store."

At this point, the noodle shop owner seemed to have a look of regret.

Lu Weiwei, on the other hand, was stunned and quickly asked: "You said you burned down the store?"

"Yes." The noodle shop owner nodded silently and said involuntarily:

"At that time, I just wanted to learn more skills, but I didn't expect that I accidentally burned down her noodle shop."

With a heavy sigh, the noodle shop owner lowered his head and said with deep self-reproach:
"Anyway, I shouldn't have been careless."

"That night, the entire noodle shop was burned down. It could no longer operate, and all the employees were gone."

"And I also need to bear a lot of responsibility for the fire caused by my mistake. Do I know what this noodle shop means?"

"It was something she and her ex-husband worked hard for. Later, her ex-husband had another woman and they divorced. It was she who won over the noodle shop."

With a faint sigh, the noodle shop owner continued: "It can be said that this noodle shop is everything to her, but it was completely ruined by my carelessness. I even feel that she will not let me go."

"So?" Officer Wang raised his eyebrows and even began to sympathize with this man.

But the noodle shop owner shook his head and said helplessly: "But I thought wrong. Not only did she not blame me, she even took the initiative to invite me to a restaurant for dinner and a heart-to-heart talk."

"She said that she and her ex-husband worked together to build that restaurant. Now that it's burned down, it's gone. It can be regarded as the end of the relationship between her and her ex-husband."

"She said that if I want, I can open another restaurant with her. If I like making noodles, then I will be responsible for the chef's work in the future."

"So...so, you two are together?" Lu Weiwei heard the clues.

The noodle shop owner nodded fiercely: "Yes, we two have the same experience, and she does not hold me responsible for the fire, and is even willing to live with me."

"I thanked her, and finally, I got married to her. After that, she used her only savings to open this noodle shop opposite this elementary school."

"From then on, I always did the most things with guilt and never complained."

"Because I know I owe her this."

"Ahem." Listening to what the noodle shop owner said, Officer Wang couldn't help but cough twice and said in a bad mood:

"So, do you and this boss lady still have this kind of experience?"

Shaking his head, Officer Wang also sighed and said: "So, you don't want to ask about anything about your wife? Or, are you feeling guilty and don't want to ask?"

"They are all there." The noodle shop owner crossed his fingers and said nervously:

"She is very good to me, and I also know that I am useless. Therefore, I am fully responsible for everything in the store and try to let her do as little as possible."

"Her store was so big before, but now she can only open this small noodle shop with me. I feel very sorry for her."

"So, I don't ask anything about her, and I don't want to ask about it."

Looking up at Gu Chen and the others, the noodle shop owner said helplessly: "So comrade police, I really don't know about the situations you mentioned, and I don't want to take care of them."

"Maybe they have their own affairs and it's not convenient for them to tell me, and I don't want to ask. I just want to do my own thing every day, that's all."

The noodle shop owner didn't look like he was being questioned by the police at all. Instead, he seemed to be complaining to the police.

Of course, Gu Chen also knew his difficulties and felt that he was a man with extremely low self-esteem.

It seems that I have always been dealing with my current wife with guilt, and I work hard without any complaints.

But Gu Chen didn't want to give up, and continued to ask: "But you said that you don't know the relationship between your lover and her best friend."

"You also said that there are many differences and contradictions between the two of them, but you can't explain why?"

"Yes, I can't say why? I don't want to ask about this." Faced with Gu Chen's doubts, the noodle shop owner shook his head and said righteously:

"I'm just an ordinary citizen. I don't want to worry about too many things. If I can make good noodles, I'll be satisfied."

"Okay." It felt like the noodle shop owner had a simple idea.

But even so, the noodle shop owner has provided everyone with many investigation clues.

On the contrary, it is the current noodle shop proprietress who looks very suspicious.

According to the mine manager Zhao Deming, the noodle shop owner might be in the same group as the pancake owner.

The unknown whereabouts of the pancake proprietress may really be related to these two people.

But now, the noodle shop owner's statement is completely inconsistent with the mine manager's statement.

Everyone even learned about some conflicts between his wife and her best friend from the noodle shop owner.

Before He Junchao could investigate more relevant clues, Gu Chen felt that he needed to call the noodle shop owner out to ask for details.

After all, she should know best what the person involved said, which one is true?Which sentence is false?

Since Gu Chen's team had already communicated with the noodle shop owner in the early morning, Gu Chen now needed to verify the clues that he was unclear about.

So he gently pushed the mobile phone that the noodle shop owner had placed on the table to him.

The noodle shop owner raised his eyebrows and looked in Gu Chen's direction with curious eyes.

"Make a call." Gu Chen said.

"You mean... call my wife?" the noodle shop owner asked tentatively.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "You can call her now and ask her to come."

"Are you telling the truth?" the noodle shop owner said.

Gu Chen shook his head: "Don't tell her, we are here, just say there are some problems in the store. Anyway, you can find the excuse yourself and ask her to come back. It's that simple."

"Okay." Understanding what Gu Chen meant, the noodle shop owner picked up his phone, silently found the number, and then dialed it.

Looking at Gu Chen in front of him, the noodle shop owner was also cautious on the phone, as if he was like a child who made a mistake.

Not long after, the phone was connected.

Since the store was very quiet at the moment, Gu Chen and the others could hear the voice on the phone clearly.

"Why haven't you come back yet? Are you still in the store?" The voice of the noodle shop owner's wife came over the phone.

The noodle shop owner glanced at Gu Chen and then said slowly: "Yes, I'm still in the shop."

"Then come back quickly. What are you doing in the store? And why are you calling me?"

"I..." The noodle shop owner hesitated for a moment, but continued: "What about that? There's something going on in the store, please come over."

"What's the matter?" Faced with her husband's unusual reaction, the noodle shop owner's wife on the other end of the phone seemed to feel something strange.

But just when the noodle shop owner wanted to ask a few more questions, the noodle shop owner continued: "You just came, I'll wait for you in the shop, that's all."

After he finished speaking, the noodle shop owner hung up the phone directly before the noodle shop owner could reply.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling that this noodle shop owner was a bit interesting, especially the communication with his wife, which was simple and direct.

But just now the noodle shop owner hung up the phone, Yuan Shasha was worried that the noodle shop owner’s wife wouldn’t come over, so she quickly asked:

"When you hung up on her just now, weren't you afraid that she wouldn't come?"

"She will come." Faced with Yuan Shasha's remarks, the noodle shop owner also said truthfully:
"I have been married to her for so many years, and if I talk like this, she must know that something is going on in the store."

"So, she should come here, you just need to wait for her here."

"Okay, I believe you." The owner of the restaurant said this when he met him, and Officer Wang didn't want to embarrass him.

At this moment, the noodle shop owner asked: "Then can I do my job?"

"Please." Gu Chen stretched out his hand and said.

The noodle shop owner nodded silently, and then continued to peel the garlic in his hand.

After completing the operation, the noodle shop owner returned to the kitchen and started cleaning. Then he picked up the broom and prepared to clean the dining area.

At this moment, a battery car suddenly stopped in front of the store.

The noodle shop proprietress who was wearing a helmet also took off her helmet and walked straight into the store, ready to ask her husband.

But as soon as she entered the door, the noodle shop proprietress saw Gu Chen and others sitting here. Her heart couldn't help but asked weakly:
"You... why are you here?"

"Waiting for you." Lu Weiwei grinned.

"Wait for me?" The noodle shop proprietress pointed at herself, smiled, and then said:
"Oh, it turns out you were looking for me, so you asked my husband to call me?"

Seeing everyone nodding silently, the noodle shop owner also said "Hi" and said nonchalantly:

"If you want to find me, just talk to me directly. My husband is a dumbass and can't even say a few serious words for a long time."

"He's already great." As soon as the noodle shop owner finished speaking, Gu Chen suddenly said this, which instantly stunned the noodle shop owner on the spot.

Glancing at her husband who was cleaning, and then at the Gu Chen team in front of her, the noodle shop owner seemed to realize something?So with a smile on his face, he asked tentatively:

"Comrade police, didn't you already look for me early this morning? What? Is there anything else you haven't asked clearly?"

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently, and then said:

"I do have a lot of things that I haven't asked you clearly." Seeing Gu Chen's sharp eyes, the noodle shop owner suddenly felt guilty. She also smiled bitterly and complained:
"Comrades in the police are really good at joking. If you have any questions, why don't you ask them clearly at the beginning?"

"Because you may not tell the truth." As soon as the noodle shop owner finished speaking, Lu Weiwei beside her became angry.

The noodle shop proprietress's heart skipped a beat, wondering what was going on?
It feels like the atmosphere is suddenly a little different.

Of course, the noodle shop proprietress is also a smart person, and she can see the purpose of everyone coming here tonight.

It was as if he had come to challenge himself.

So the noodle shop owner laughed twice and then said: "Comrade police, are you hungry? If you are, I can cook you a midnight snack."

"No need." The hostess of the restaurant wanted to leave as an excuse.

In other words, you want to make an excuse to make late-night snacks for everyone and meet up with your husband so that you can ask him what's going on?
But Xiao Jiujiu had long been aware of this by Officer Wang, so he quickly interrupted:
"We're not hungry. Besides, you guys are closed now, so you don't have to be busy anymore. We came here just to have a good chat with you."

After a pause, Officer Wang continued to add: "Of course, I just want to talk to you about what you didn't finish talking about this morning."

"Haha." I feel like it must be my husband. What did he say to these policemen?The noodle shop owner looked embarrassed, but still asked politely:

"By the way, what's going on?"

"Are you familiar with your best friend's husband?" Officer Wang asked.

"Harmful!" After hearing Officer Wang's words, the nerves that were tense just now suddenly relaxed again.

The noodle shop proprietress also waved her hands and said, "That's for sure. My best friend and her husband are also old acquaintances. Isn't it normal for us to be very familiar with each other?"

"Very good." The proprietress of the restaurant admitted proactively, and Officer Wang asked again:
"Then in normal times, would you directly bypass your best friend and meet her husband in private?"

"Uh……"

I felt that the question just now was very easy, but the question now made me stupid in an instant.

The noodle shop proprietress was dumbfounded and said with a wry smile: "Comrade police, what do you mean by that?"

"That's it, do you and your best friend's husband often communicate in private?" Officer Wang didn't tolerate her and got straight to the point.

The noodle shop proprietress laughed, shook her head and said, "Comrade police, why can't I understand?"

"I am relatively familiar with my best friend's husband just because he is my best friend's husband."

"But why do you think the painting style is wrong? Why does it sound like her husband and I have something to do with each other? Aren't you unfairly accusing me?"

Just as the noodle shop owner finished speaking, Yuan Shasha had already shown the surveillance video of the private meeting between the noodle shop owner and the pancake owner in front of her via mobile phone video.

In the picture, the two people spread their hands and argued with each other, which made the noodle shop owner dumbfounded.

Yuan Shasha quickly asked: "By the way, what are you arguing about? The two people in this surveillance video should be you and your best friend's husband, right?"

After thinking about it, Yuan Shasha also pretended to be surprised and said: "Besides, the location seems to be behind your store, right?"

"Uh...this..."

Feel like you don’t know how to answer for a while?The noodle shop owner was speechless and embarrassed.

When Officer Wang saw this, he also asked her with a smile: "What? It's not convenient to say?"

"No...no, it's harmful!" Seeing the police's serious questioning, the noodle shop proprietress simply opened up her emotions and said with a smile:
"Isn't this why I persuaded my best friend not to argue with her husband over nothing?"

"Didn't I tell you that my best friend is more willful? She also has a strong personality, so she always has a lot of conflicts with her husband."

"Moreover, every time I get my persuasion, I slowly stabilize my mood."

"But just like this, her husband suffered and suffered."

"So, this is all you talk about together?" Yuan Shasha asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yes, is this what we're talking about?" Faced with the police's questioning, the noodle shop owner could only show a wry smile.

I feel extremely embarrassed at this moment.

She also subconsciously glanced in the direction of the kitchen, wanting to ask her husband for details.

After all, it felt like her husband had already talked to the police.

Just when the noodle shop proprietress was distracted, Gu Chen quickly reminded her and brought her back to reality from her distracted state:

"Boss Boss, what I want to tell you is that the surveillance video we just showed you is only a short piece."

"And the time was just a few days before your best friend disappeared."

With a faint sigh, Gu Chen said again: "I really want to know, what on earth were you talking about at that time? Why does it look like you were quarreling?"

"Could it be that you and your best friend's husband were already quarreling in the days before your best friend disappeared?"

"But, you just said that the quarrel was about something between your best friend and her husband."

"However, your best friend's husband said that he had a very good relationship with his lover. It was only because there was a problem with the ingredients he purchased early that morning that the two suddenly quarreled."

"But this just shows that the quarrel between the two of them was actually sudden."

Looking up at the noodle shop proprietress in front of him, Gu Chen asked again: "But what are you arguing about? At that time, there seemed to be no conflict between your best friend and her husband, right?"

"But since there is no conflict, why do you say you are arguing about your best friend and her husband?"

"Could it be that a few days before your best friend disappeared, she had already had a conflict with her husband? It was not just what your best friend's husband said, but the quarrel was over the purchase of ingredients that morning?"

"My……"

Facing Gu Chen's continuous questions, the noodle shop owner suddenly felt a little confused.

It seemed that he was also involved.

But these issues that Gu Chen mentioned also exactly showed that if the focus of the dispute between him and his best friend's husband was the conflict between the two, it would not exist. According to his best friend's husband, it was just about purchasing ingredients that day.

But before her best friend ran away from home, the two of them had many irreconcilable conflicts, otherwise her best friend's husband would not find her and argue with her.

Faced with Gu Chen's questioning, the noodle shop owner looked a little flustered.

Of course, these small actions are also seen by everyone.

It seemed to everyone that there seemed to be some secret between the noodle shop proprietress and her best friend's husband.

"Mom boss!" The lady boss of the meeting place was stunned, and Officer Wang also reminded her.

"Ah?" The noodle shop proprietress was stunned when she reacted, and then she said slowly:
"This... I'm not very clear."

"Then do you admit that the thing you argued with your best friend's husband that day was the conflict between them?" Lu Weiwei directly dismissed her.

The noodle shop owner was a little panicked, feeling like she had fallen into a trap designed by the police.

If you don't admit it, it means that the dispute between you and your best friend's husband is about something else.

But if he admits it, it means that his best friend's husband is lying to the police. The reason is that his best friend's husband started to have a dispute with his wife a few days ago.

So much so that I have to rely on myself to resolve conflicts with him.

Now that I think about it, it seems that any choice is a trap. The noodle shop owner has a headache, so she can only wave her hands and say: "I can't remember clearly. I have been busy these days, so my memory is not very good."

"Are you really not remembering? Or are you pretending not to remember?" Facing the restaurant proprietress's refusal, Lu Weiwei snorted and said involuntarily:
"This matter doesn't seem to be as simple as the few days before your best friend disappeared."

After she finished speaking, Lu Weiwei released the surveillance footage of the private meeting and exchange between the noodle shop proprietress and her best friend’s husband, and also reminded her:
"I'm curious. Didn't you only meet in private once? Or did you just have an argument."

"It's impossible to say that every time you meet, you always argue about the conflict between your best friend and her husband, right?"

"This... this..."

It felt like she was completely at a loss when asked by the police. At this moment, the noodle shop owner’s wife had ten thousand alpacas racing in her heart.

I felt that it was indeed my mistake to encounter these difficult police officers.

But now it seems that I am completely in a dilemma.

And it seems unjustifiable not to answer the police's questions now.

After thinking about it, the noodle shop owner sighed heavily and said helplessly:

"That's right, every time we meet, it's because of the conflicts between the couple."

"The couple does have a lot of conflicts. Therefore, every time there are irreconcilable conflicts and disputes, my best friend's husband will come to me to complain."

"But why do I only come to you every time?" After hearing what the noodle shop owner said, Officer Wang also asked casually.

"Because..." Feeling that she had fallen into a trap by the police, the noodle shop owner shook her head helplessly.
I feel like if I don't tell the truth, I will be the unlucky one.

After thinking about it, the noodle shop owner said helplessly: "Because they are very familiar with me, and it seems that this problem cannot be solved unless they talk to me."

"That means your best friend's husband has actually been lying to us?"

"The situations he told us before are all problematic and are not the truth. Can I understand this?" Gu Chen also blurted out when faced with the words of the restaurant proprietress.

At this moment, the noodle shop proprietress was dumbfounded, feeling like she was being completely brought into the rhythm of the police.

But now, there is nothing I can do to make up for it?
Thinking of not letting her get in, the noodle shop owner could only sigh and said helplessly:

"I'm not sure about this. It depends on my best friend's husband. What did he tell you?"

Hearing this, Gu Chen was also overjoyed.

At least it can be said that this pancake boss deliberately concealed a lot of content when describing his relationship with his wife.

At least it shows that this pancake boss has had many irreconcilable conflicts with his wife a long time ago.

This also verified that what the noodle shop owner told him before his lover arrived was basically true.

Sure enough, the relationship between the pancake owner and his lover was not as the pancake owner himself said, nor as the noodle shop owner's wife said.

It's what the noodle shop owner stated.

Thinking of these things, Gu Chen also sighed and said: "It seems that you still need your best friend's husband to come over in person and let him explain himself."

Hearing what Gu Chen said, the noodle shop owner was so embarrassed that she lowered her head and didn't dare to look up.

At this time, Gu Chen also took out his cell phone and dialed the phone number of the pancake boss.

Not long after, the pancake owner's response came over the phone: "Who is it?"

"I am Gu Chen from Furong Branch." Gu Chen introduced himself.

When he heard it was Gu Chen on the other end of the phone, he immediately changed his attitude and greeted Gu Chen politely:
"So it's Officer Gu? Officer Gu, if you call me so late, do you know the whereabouts of my lover?"

"Indeed." Faced with the pancake boss's question, Gu Chen also said straight to the point:

"We have learned the whereabouts of your lover, and now we need you to come over and assist in the investigation."

"Really?" Upon hearing what Gu Chen said, the pancake owner on the other end of the phone seemed conflicted.

Gu Chen could feel the embarrassment on the other end of the phone across the screen.
