I am a super cop

Chapter 297 Shadow

Lu Benxiong was quite excited when he talked about what happened two months ago, which made Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang even more interested.

"Two months ago, we did have a quarrel during a dinner. Since then, our friendship has fallen to the bottom."

"Is there a conflict between you?" Gu Chen asked.

"It's not a contradiction, it can only be said that there was a misunderstanding between the two of us." Lu Benxiong said this, suddenly touched his pocket, and asked Gu Chen: "Can I have a cigarette?"

"Whatever." Gu Chen didn't mind.

"Thank you." Lu Benxiong took out a pack of cigarettes, lit it with a lighter, and threw it on the coffee table. His whole body seemed to relax a lot: "Because my wife found out that day that I met two or three years ago, so, so she started Target Zhao Xiaomin everywhere."

"You mean, your wife went to Zhao Xiaomin's place of work to disturb her?" In Lu Weiwei's impression, it seemed that the script was always performed like this.

Lu Benxiong shook his head and said, "No, because both of them work in the same company, and my wife is her boss."

"My God." Lu Weiwei was stunned at the time: "Your wife and Zhao Xiaomin are in a superior-subordinate relationship? You can't write like that in Korean dramas, right?"

"That's right." Lu Benxiong didn't deny it, and continued: "The reason why Zhao Xiaomin and I got to know each other again was that we met by chance when picking up my wife from get off work. That's why my wife was very angry that day and said When I saw a young, beautiful girl with a good figure, my eyes began to be dishonest."

"That's right, there is such a thing." Gu Chen also affirmed Lu Benxiong's words, saying: "In Zhao Xiaomin's essay diary, there was a paragraph describing how he made a mistake in reporting and was criticized by the female boss. Because her husband from last time looked at her twice more when picking up the female boss from get off work, and then the female boss began to regard her as an imaginary enemy."

"Yeah, I know that part too, but it was a long time ago." Lu Weiwei also confirmed.

"This happened five months ago." Lu Benxiong said.

Gu Chen also nodded to confirm: "That's right, it happened five months ago."

Officer Wang was so curious that he quickly asked, "Lu Benxiong, I really want to know how you and Zhao Xiaomin met three years ago? Besides, why do you say you met Zhao Xiaomin again? Why can't I understand this? "

"It's like this." Lu Benxiong wanted to say it just now, but now that Police Officer Wang mentioned it, he had no choice but to say:

"Three years ago, when I came to the Wantai Hotel restaurant with a client for dinner, I happened to meet Zhao Xiaomin and her cousin. They were both students at the time, and they didn't seem to want to spend here. I looked at the two The girl looks good, so I just took a second look."

Lu Weiwei curled her lips and murmured in her heart, "Oh, man."

"But at that time I just took a few more glances." Lu Benxiong took a puff of cigarette and said, "The two of them went to the bathroom later, when they came out, they might have walked too fast and accidentally bumped into a middle-aged woman who was making a phone call. "

"The woman's mobile phone was dropped on the ground and the corners were also broken, so she scolded them both in the restaurant and insisted that Zhao Xiaomin and her cousin pay the original price."

Lu Weiwei said angrily: "Both parties are at fault, one is walking too fast, and the other is not paying attention to the phone, but the original price compensation is not enough, why don't we just take the phone and repair it?"

Lu Benxiong smiled: "Police officer, some rich people won't reason with you. A piece of clothing costs tens of thousands of yuan. If it is stained with dirt, they will directly throw it into the trash can, let alone a mobile phone. Do you think they will take it away?" repair?"

"Then what happened next?" Gu Chen asked.

"Later, I heard the noise, so I went over to have a look, because the middle-aged woman was a customer of our company, and she also knew me at the time, so she made a big deal out of it, and let Zhao Xiaomin and her cousin leave. "

"I can't see that you're still quite famous, and you have acquaintances everywhere?" Police Officer Wang raised his eyebrows, looking at this handsome and successful man in front of him.

Lu Benxiong bowed his head and smiled wryly: "In real estate, if you know me, you can get a house at a price below the market price. Who do you think will not give face? And that middle-aged woman is also a real estate speculator, so naturally she dare not offend me .”

"So that's the case?" Lu Weiwei also nodded silently, and asked, "So, that's how you met? If so, it's just a chance meeting. I can only say that you are a good person. Can it be said that Zhao Xiaomin knew you? Isn't that true?" Is it reasonable?"

Lu Benxiong shook his head: "No, when I officially met her, it was on a campus apartment building project. At that time, I was sent to negotiate with the school leaders. When I left, I queued up to buy milk tea at a milk tea shop outside the campus. I didn't expect Zhao Xiaomin works part-time there."

"So she recognized me very quickly, made me a cup of milk tea with her own hands, and offered me to drink it as a thank you for helping her out that day, but how can I accept her kindness? She also works here part-time, so I I put down the money and left, and when I was in a hurry, I forgot my badge at the sales desk."

"And then?" Gu Chen asked.

"And then? What I didn't expect was that I was alone in the office that day, sorting out a lot of data and reports. When I was worrying, I found someone knocking on the door."

"When I looked up, I realized that Zhao Xiaomin had come to me with milk tea and a job number plate."

"It turned out that she was afraid that I would not be able to enter the company building without a work number plate, so after her part-time job ended, she came to me with a work number plate. We were drinking milk tea that day, and she helped me sort out the materials. We quickly calculated We got to know each other, and then we started dating."

"But you left Zhao Xiaomin again?" Officer Wang seemed to have a premonition when he heard this.

"Yeah, just half a year after my relationship with Zhao Xiaomin, I was transferred to the capital by the company to take charge of a big project there, and it was the success of that big project that allowed me to sit in the current position of vice president of the company, and I My income has also doubled several times, and that was the happiest time in my life.”

"However, I paid a huge price for it. During the two and a half years, I even spent two years in Beijing during the Chinese New Year. Apart from sleeping for 5 hours a day, all other time and energy were spent on the project."

"Without these two and a half years of hard work, I can't even imagine what I have today. It would be an unattainable dream."

Lu Weiwei asked weakly: "Then what about Zhao Xiaomin? You broke up?"

"Let's break up peacefully." Lu Benxiong said here, also frustrated: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, and we have a long-distance relationship. I can't balance work and relationship. At that time, I was focused on work."

"So, I didn't care about Zhao Xiaomin at all. Half a year after leaving Jiangnan City, we both deleted each other. She continued to study in college, and I continued to work on projects."

"But last year when I returned to Jiangnan City, I went to find Zhao Xiaomin, but she had already graduated, and she also changed her number, so all the communications were lost."

"I thought it was over like this. Later, through the introduction of a director of our company, I met my current wife. I got married not long after the two of us. Until five months ago, I drove my wife home, but I saw her again. It's Zhao Xiaomin who I haven't seen in three years."

"Oh my God." Hearing this, Lu Weiwei was in a bad mood: "So you are Zhao Xiaomin's ex-boyfriend? Then...you two can't be together!"

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, but sometimes fate will play tricks on you, really." Lu Benxiong put the cigarette butt into the ashtray and said:
"Ever since I lost my temper with my wife because I looked at Zhao Xiaomin twice, of course, she just lost her temper. After all, she thought that even if I didn't peek at Zhao Xiaomin, I would peek at other girls, so she didn't target Zhao Xiaomin."

"But what made me laugh and cry later was that Zhao Xiaomin's current company actually cooperated with another subsidiary of our company. I happened to be in charge of the subsidiary's business at the time, and Zhao Xiaomin was also sent by the company to handle the business."

"In this way, I specially arranged the business dinner in the restaurant of Wantai Hotel to make up for the regret at that time. Of course, the two of us are just talking about work, because we know each other before, so the business will not take long. The rest... Just eating and gossiping."

"Are you two just talking about work?" Gu Chen couldn't help but wonder.

According to what Lu Benxiong said, indeed, Lu Benxiong didn't seem to want to get back together with Zhao Xiaomin, after all, Lu Benxiong already had a family.

As for Zhao Xiaomin, it seems that she is still silent in the old days and has not come out.

This can be seen from Zhao Xiaomin's essay diary...

In the essay five months ago, Zhao Xiaomin mentioned that Lu Benxiong was peeping at her, but she didn't think that she and Lu Benxiong still had an intersection.

So Zhao Xiaomin didn't mention it in his essay diary, and later said that he would wear a navel-baring outfit the next day, which was also a kind of self-deprecating.

But the subsequent docking work brought Zhao Xiaomin and Lu Benxiong together again.

Lu Benxiong regards this as work and memory, and uses the best restaurant food as a treat to make up for the shortcomings of the year, but Zhao Xiaomin is getting deeper and deeper.

That's why two months ago, when Lu Benxiong's wife found out that Zhao Xiaomin was Lu Benxiong's ex-girlfriend, her attitude began to change.

So from then on, Zhao Xiaomin seemed to have walked into a dead end, and began to be sentimental every day, and the diary became more and more sad.

When Gu Chen was at Bai Xiaolan's grandmother's house, looking through Zhao Xiaomin's essay diary, the so-called long-distance relationship in it should refer to the days when Lu Benxiong was transferred to the capital, and the "he" mentioned repeatedly afterwards is the irretrievable Lu Benxiong now. .

Looking at Gu Chen's deep eyes, Lu Benxiong couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Comrade policeman, Zhao Xiaomin and I are indeed talking about work, but Zhao Xiaomin doesn't seem to think so."

"So in order to prevent her from getting deeper and deeper, after my wife found out that Zhao Xiaomin was my ex-girlfriend two months ago, I took the initiative to hand over the matchmaking work to others."

"And the last time I met her was two weeks ago. After that... we only had occasional phone calls, and it was she who called me to talk about business connections."

"Didn't you notice any mood swings in Zhao Xiaomin during these two months?" Gu Chen asked.

"No...no." Lu Wenxiong was stunned for a moment, and thought for a while: "The past two months seem to be normal, although we occasionally go to the restaurant of Wantai Hotel, but it is because of her business difficulties , let me help, that's all."

After hesitating for a while, Lu Benxiong suddenly said again: "By the way, we haven't seen each other two weeks ago, but my wife still knows about the fact that I dined with her, so I quarreled with me several times because of the need to take care of the family. I haven't met with Xiao Min, and the phone contact was cut off a week ago."

"So this week, I don't know anything about Zhao Xiaomin at all. Her circle of friends is always blank, and she may have blocked me, so..."

"So you didn't know anything about Zhao Xiaomin during this week, including Zhao Xiaomin's disappearance a few days ago?" Gu Chen asked.

"Yes, I don't know at all, and I don't know." Lu Benxiong nodded fiercely, as if the police came to the door, and he couldn't argue with it.

If he hadn't explained these things clearly, it seemed that he was the biggest suspect.

Of course Gu Chen didn't believe it all.

Open your mouth at the beginning, and the story depends entirely on making up.

Such cases are not without, and there are some high IQ suspects, who will use various stories to win the sympathy of the police, so as to reduce the police's suspicion of themselves.

The last viaduct car crash is the best example.

"Junior Brother Gu." Seeing that Gu Chen was in deep thought, Lu Weiwei walked up to him and asked, "Could it be that Zhao Xiaomin is bored and looking for a quiet place where no one is around?"

"Probably not." Gu Chen wasn't sure, and said, "If that's the case, then she doesn't need to bring cosmetics and mobile phone chargers, which means she won't use mobile payment."

"But we have also investigated Zhao Xiaomin's bank transaction records. These days, apart from buying snacks last time, Zhao Xiaomin used mobile payment to withdraw a sum of money from the bank card, and there has been no movement since then, and it was still a week ago."

"Hmm!" Officer Wang also nodded, turned to Lu Benxiong and said, "Lu Benxiong, we will still verify what you said today, if you have half a lie, our Furong branch will not let you go. "

"It's absolutely true." Lu Wenxiong raised his right hand and swore: "Everything I said is true. I use my personality to guarantee that I really don't know about Xiao Min's disappearance. You are still worried about her, she never disappears for no reason."

"Wait a minute." Gu Chen hesitated suddenly, and asked everyone: "Suppose, I mean suppose, Zhao Xiaomin... Will she offend someone during this period of time, and then someone will retaliate against her?" , if so, who do you think is the most likely?"

Gu Chen's words immediately made the scene quiet, and everyone began to fall into deep thought.

A few seconds later, Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang said in unison, "Is it Lu Benxiong's wife?"

"That's right." Gu Chen hit his left palm with his right fist, "It's his wife."

"My wife?" Lu Benxiong was also taken aback, he couldn't help but took two steps back, and was stunned on the spot.

"If you want to talk about kidnapping, the most motivated person is not you, but your wife." Gu Chen walked to Lu Benxiong again and said, "Think about it, your wife is Zhao Xiaomin's boss. After knowing what happened to you two , she will let you two continue to eat? Apart from other things, normal people would not do this."

"No... That's right." Lu Weiwei also imitated Gu Chen's right fist and smashed her left palm, and then secretly glanced at Gu Chen, thinking that if Gu Shidi went to eat alone with a certain girl, she would definitely not be able to bear it, let alone Lu Benxiong's wife already knew that Zhao Xiaomin and her husband were ex-girlfriends.

"Your wife knew about your relationship two months ago." Gu Chen walked back to his seat, turned around suddenly, and stared at Lu Benxiong: "And then you used it in the restaurant of Wantai Hotel. Meal, will she not know? A woman's intuition is very good, if she knows, will she keep staring at the two of you from behind, observing your every move? "

"Hiss!" Hearing this, Police Officer Wang suddenly gasped: "Gu Chen, why do you feel that the more you talk, the more terrifying you are? This Lu Benxiong is having dinner with Zhao Xiaomin, and his Lu Benxiong's wife will hide in the dark and observe secretly?"

"Although Zhao Xiaomin took the initiative to find Lu Benxiong and wanted Lu Benxiong to solve some business problems, but if his wife hid at the scene, wouldn't it be good to let Lu Benxiong refuse directly? It would save trouble."

Gu Chen smiled and said: "So this is the strength of Lu Benxiong's wife. She can secretly monitor their every move and keep these in mind."

"Then suddenly, two days ago, I skipped over Lu Benxiong, found Zhao Xiaomin in the name of Lu Benxiong, asked her to meet somewhere, and then kidnapped her."

Seeing that everyone was looking at Gu Chen with incredulous eyes, Gu Chen quickly explained: "Of course, this is just a hypothesis. Reasonable assumptions and reasonable reasoning are helpful to solve the case."

Of course Gu Chen wouldn't say it, but at that moment, he activated his entry-level imagination, and he had already simulated the scene just mentioned several times in his mind.

The shadow that always existed behind Lu Benxiong and Zhao Xiaomin was indeed Lu Benxiong's wife.

Two days ago, Lu Benxiong's wife started her revenge plan after suffering for two months.

Using Lu Benxiong's identity, she invited Zhao Xiaomin to a secret place, saying that she had something important to tell.

At that time, when Zhao Xiaomin wrote the winning song of a certain university love letter contest, he was bewitched by Lu Benxiong's wife, and immediately thought it was true, so he went directly to the agreed place to meet without any luggage.

After two months of inner struggles, Zhao Xiaomin really missed Lu Benxiong, especially after not seeing her for two weeks and never talking on the phone for a week.

This time, maybe it's time for him to decide to make a break with Lu Benxiong.

But when Zhao Xiaomin came to a certain place on time according to the agreed time and place, the black shadow hiding behind her appeared...
