Mystery Collection 2

On the way back from the supermarket, Gu Tingxi was still thinking about what Boss Mao said. Why did two Zhou Chengen suddenly appear? If the one he met at the Puppet Villa was a fake, why would he help Mr. Li take revenge? The fake Zhou Chengen didn't appear suddenly, he had lived in the town for several years, and he really assumed the identity of Zhou Chengen.

While Gu Tingxi was puzzled, the car had already driven to the door of the bookstore, and the little mute opened the trunk and was about to take out the shopping bags.

Gu Tingxi hurriedly stopped him: "Don't take it in, take it back and eat."

Xu Jianyang yelled quickly: "It's all bought with my money!"

Gu Tingxi rolled his eyes at him, and walked in with the little mute in his arms.

When there are many people, Han Chen doesn't cook very much. Most of the time, he orders a table of dishes at the restaurants he frequents, and walks around to digest food after eating.

As usual, Han Chen hung a resting sign at the door, turned off the headlights, and left only a small dim chandelier. He sat on the sofa, quietly reading the book in his hand, and the quiet atmosphere was in the air. It flowed slowly, and finally shattered suddenly with Gu Tingxi's bluffing sound of entering the door.

Han Chen closed the book, a doting smile appeared on the corner of his mouth involuntarily, he walked towards Gu Tingxi, couldn't help laughing and said: "You are like my pet, you know you will go home when you are hungry."

Gu Tingxi chuckled, turned off the last light, and walked out pulling Han Chen's clothes.

The four of them walked on the empty and cold street, with a bright star on their head, the moonlight sprinkled on the stone road, bringing a gleam of brightness, and there was a faint scent of cool mint in the air.

"Brother Chen, we met Boss Mao just now." Gu Tingxi coughed, and was suddenly filled with cold air in his nostrils.

"Boss Mao?" Han Chen asked after recalling for a while, "The boss Mao in Puppet Villa?"

"It's him. He's working in the supermarket now. We happened to meet him when we went shopping today." Gu Tingxi rubbed his nose and said, "He also told me one thing, that there are two Zhou Chengen , and said that the one we met before was a fake, and then he really came back, and I didn’t understand what he said in a mess.”

Han Chen frowned and asked, "Do you have his phone number?"

Gu Tingxi didn't think much, took out his mobile phone and called up the phone book to show him: "Here, this is it."

Han Chen frowned and licked his lips, then suddenly turned around and ran back, saying: "I remember something, you go and order first."

Gu Tingxi shook his head, recovered his senses and immediately shouted at his back: "Where are you going? I'm going too!"

Han Chen didn't answer, and quickly stopped a taxi.

Xu Jianyang looked at the figure of the taxi going away, and pondered: "Did you go to see Boss Mao?"

"Why are you looking for Boss Mao?"

Xu Jianyang said uncertainly: "Is there any doubt about that case?"

Gu Tingxi shook his head: "Forget it, I'll ask him later."

The three of them went to the restaurant according to the original plan. Gu Tingxi was full of doubts and was absent-minded when ordering.

"Don't think about it, let's eat first, Brother Han is much more reliable than you, he doesn't fight or have bad habits, why do you need to worry about him?" Xu Jianyang complained, "I have to go home with Qingqing after eating .”

"I'm not worried about him, I just don't understand Zhou Chengen's affairs. If the Zhou Chengen we saw was fake, why did he cooperate with Master Li to take revenge?" Gu Tingxi pondered, "And this Zhou Chengen is very smart. To solve the mystery of Ms. Sun's case back then, and to use the same method to get revenge, these things can at least prove that he himself is not simple."

Xu Jianyang put down his chopsticks, thought for a while and said, "Is there another possibility that the Zhou Chengen who appeared later that Boss Mao said was a fake?"

"Haven't you heard a saying? When a person is about to die, his words are good. That person only has a box of ashes left. What else can he do if he wants to return to his roots before he dies?"

The little mute listened for a while, but couldn't understand what they were talking about, so he wrote a sentence: "It's all fake?"

Gu Tingxi began to think about what the little mute said, and he suddenly realized that it doesn't matter whether it is true or not, the purpose is the key point.

The three talked for a while, and Han Chen came back after a while, sat down and ate food like a normal person, and said without waiting for Gu Tingxi to ask, "I'm going to find Boss Mao."

Seeing that he came back so quickly, Gu Tingxi guessed that he hadn't met, so he said, "Didn't see anyone? Is he off work?"

Han Chen restrained his face slightly: "He resigned."

"Resign?" Gu Tingxi's eyes widened in surprise, "How is this possible? We only saw him an hour ago, and he was very excited to say that he had a good development in City A. Why did he resign for no reason?"

Xu Jianyang was also shocked: "Yeah, even if you resign, you can't just leave right away?"

Gu Tingxi saw that Han Chen's face was heavy, and put a chopstick dish into his bowl: "Brother Chen, let's eat first, the dishes are cold, I will accompany you to the supermarket to look for them tomorrow."

Xu Jianyang looked up at Han Chen, and asked, "Brother Han, if the Zhou Chengen we saw at the Puppet Villa is fake, then his motive for killing would be invalid. Did you think of something?"

Han Chen silently shook his head.

Xu Jianyang saw that he didn't seem to want to say more, so he didn't ask any more questions, and the four of them went back after a dull dinner.

The next day, Gu Tingxi and Han Chen went to the supermarket again. Along the way, Han Chen seemed to be full of thoughts. Several times when Gu Tingxi talked to him, Han Chen was in a daze, as if immersed in his own thoughts, repeating again and again. Three distracted.

Gu Tingxi had never seen Han Chen in such a state of despair, confusion and worry filled Gu Tingxi's mind, and he couldn't wait to find out what happened.

The two arrived at the supermarket and found the manager of the HR department through the customer service. The manager took the two into the office, tugged on their ties and said dully, "The boss Mao you are talking about is Mao Qiuchang. He was working hard yesterday, but suddenly he disappeared. Yes, but later I called and said that I would resign, not even the salary of the previous few days."

Gu Tingxi asked: "He left in such a hurry, did you say why?"

The manager shook his head: "I'm not sure, but in supermarkets, it's very common for employees such as sales promotion and goods movers to resign, so it's not surprising, but Mao Qiuchang still hasn't received his salary for more than ten days. If you contact If you get his words, ask him to come back and go through the settlement procedures."

Han Chen and Gu Tingxi looked at each other, and for a while, neither of them spoke first.

At this time, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind, "Brother Chen, why are you here?"

Gu Tingxi turned his head subconsciously. At the same time, Han Chen suddenly held his hand, turned around and nodded, and said, "I have something to do, how about you? Are you here to investigate the case?"

Chen Yifei nodded sadly: "Yes, it's Zhou Kuncheng's business. By the way, are you free? Let's find a place to sit and talk for a while." After he finished speaking, he turned around and greeted the HR manager.

The manager took out a folder from the drawer and said, "This is Zhou Kuncheng's personnel file, please keep it carefully by Police Officer Chen."

Chen Yifei patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I will return it to you intact."

The three of them walked out together, Han Chen and Gu Tingxi fell behind.

Gu Tingxi only heard Han Chen say in a lowered voice: "Don't tell others about Boss Mao, some things will be discussed after I find out."

Gu Tingxi nodded half-understood, she didn't have any objection in her heart, anyway, whatever Brother Chen said was right.

The three found a coffee shop with few people and sat down. Chen Yifei threw the folder on the table, put his hands in his pockets and blinked and said, "I didn't bring my wallet."

Gu Tingxi: "..."

Han Chen laughed: "I'll pay the bill, order."

Chen Yifei ordered a cup of latte and two pieces of cake, heaved a sigh of relief and said, "It's been a few days since I've been so relaxed, as expected, I still have to eat and drink well."

Gu Tingxi held the cup and said seriously: "According to your professional needs, you should not relax, you should be in a state of high mental tension all the time, and go all out to do your best!"

Chen Yifei chuckled, took a big bite of the cake and said, "There's no need to shoot at me, right? I'll pay the bill next time, right?"

Gu Tingxi felt relieved when he gained the upper hand, and happily ran to the cashier to order a quick cake for himself.

Chen Yifei looked at his cheerful back, and shook his head helplessly: "This guy never takes it seriously when he suffers, but he doesn't want you to suffer a little. I think he really likes you, and he tries to protect you in different ways."

Han Chen looked back at Gu Tingxi, smiled and said, "I know."

Chen Yifei smiled without saying a word.

"By the way, what happened to Zhou Kuncheng?"

Mentioning this, Chen Yifei's face suddenly darkened, and he sighed, "The case has escalated. Zhou Kuncheng's wife, Sun Moli, has been missing for a week. It was confirmed yesterday afternoon that she was killed and her body was dumped in a small wood in the suburbs."

Gu Tingxi came back with the cake, vaguely heard Chen Yifei mentioning Sun Moli, and asked casually, "What's going on?"

Chen Yifei sighed, "A week ago, Zhou Tong was stabbed in Chaoyang Hotel. That day was the fifth day of the new year, February [-]th. I contacted Sun Moli that night, and she told me that she would rush back to City A the next day. , but in the afternoon of the next day, that is, on February [-]th, Sun Moli suddenly lost contact. No one, including Zhou Kuncheng, could contact her until yesterday morning, when someone found a The corpse, like Zhou Tong, was disfigured and stabbed in the abdomen, which was also fatal. It was confirmed that the victim was Sun Moli, and the most puzzling thing to me is that after Sun Moli lost contact We have investigated her whereabouts. Since February [-]th, her ID card and bank card have not been used. Sun Moli's colleagues and Zhou Kun all thought that she had traveled to a neighboring city, but no one could be sure of her. Where did she go, and on the afternoon of February [-]th when she lost contact, her company colleagues once received a call from her. She asked for two more days off on the phone and handed over part of the work by phone. We are now It is suspected that the murderer did not go after Zhou Tong and Sun Moli, his real target may be Zhou Kuncheng, and Zhou Tong and Sun Moli are just the innocent people involved."
