The owner of the noodle shop said that he was going to take Chu to the police station with him.

Chu Ci was confused, and hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry, did you recognize the wrong person, I'm not your wife at all, what kind of burns, I don't know, this is the first time I've come to the south." ”

"If you still don't admit it, don't think that after a month, I won't know you after changing my clothes, you are the culprit who burned my wife. The boss was very excited, and dragged Chu Ci: "Go, follow me to the police station." ”

The little girl also glared at Chu Ci viciously: "You bad woman, you should hand you over to the police/Uncle Cha." ”

"Boss, it's really a misunderstanding, I've never burned your wife, I don't even know your wife......" Chu Ci patiently explained.

The boss is a short-tempered person, where can he listen to Chu Ci's explanation, and dragged Chu Ci to the town police station.

At this moment, a sonorous voice came: "Let go of her." ”

Chu Ci looked up at Tang Qing who was striding over, the noodle shop owner had just turned around, and before he could see who it was, Tang Qing dragged Chu Ci behind him.

The boss sneered: "It turns out that I brought someone this time, no wonder I am so arrogant, Xiaomi, go and call the police, I don't believe that there is no Wang Fa, today we will seek justice for your mother." ”

"Good. The little girl immediately went to the store to get her mobile phone and call the police.

Tang Qing asked Chu Ci with his eyes, Chu Ci frowned and shook his head: "I don't know what's going on, this father and daughter didn't say that I burned his wife." ”

Since it is not clear, calling the police is also a solution.

Soon the people from the police station came, because it was night, there were only officers on duty in the station, and after learning about the situation, the police/inspector didn't know what to do, no one seemed to be lying.

The police/detective knew the owner of the noodle shop, and asked uncertainly: "Zhou Laosan, are you sure that this lady burned your wife?" ”

Zhou Laosan swore and said: "I won't admit my mistake, when a woman came to my store to eat noodles, not to say that my noodles were not clean, I quarreled with my wife, and then I started to pour boiling water on my wife's hand, burned a large piece, and spent 20,000 or 30,000 yuan before and after, and now my wife can't do anything, she can only stay at home, I want to sue this person, let her compensate us for medical expenses, lost work expenses, and mental damages." ”

Chu Ci still said the same sentence: "I really haven't done it, this is my first time in the south, the first time I go to their store." ”

Tang Qing observed Zhou Laosan carefully, and judging from the other party's subtle actions, he did not lie.

The police/prosecutor is also very difficult, although he works in this town, he can also see that Tang Qing and Chu Ci are not ordinary people, and it can be seen from their dress and temperament that it is best not to provoke them.

"Zhou Laosan, you also heard, this lady came to the south for the first time, how could she burn your wife, don't make trouble, go back, I haven't had dinner yet, we can't let people pay you money based on your words, you have no evidence, and it's not good to slander people without evidence." ”

"I have evidence, there is surveillance in my store, and the footage of the day must have been filmed. Zhou Laosan was accused of fraudulently making money, and he was a little emotional: "I'll take it here, the evidence is conclusive, I see how to deny it." ”

Hearing that Zhou Laosan still had surveillance video, Tang Qing and Chu Ci glanced at each other.

Zhou Laosan ran back to get it, and it was two streets away, and he came back soon, at first the police/inspector and Chu Ci thought that Zhou Laosan was the wrong person and wanted to blackmail money, but when they saw that Zhou Laosan really brought the surveillance video, he was a little hesitant.

Zhou Laosan said: "Look, don't say that I scammed money, the evidence is here." ”

The police/inspector adjusted the video surveillance date to the day when Zhou Laosan's wife was burned, Chu Ci's eyes were staring at the screen tightly, inexplicably a little nervous, Tang Qing also felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

The police/prosecutor fast-forward and dragged the mouse, and just as everyone was waiting to see Zhou Laosan's so-called evidence, the picture suddenly disappeared.

Zhou Laosan was stunned: "What's the matter?"

The policeman said, "See for yourself." ”

Zhou Laosan's monitoring is a one-month automatic coverage mode, and the video he said that his wife quarreled with the guest until she was burned was deleted.

Zhou Laosan didn't expect this result, and his mood suddenly became angry.

"How can this be, obviously this woman burned my wife, it's her, she must compensate me today, all the expenses add up to a total of 50,000, must be given, we are a small business, hard work for more than half a year, my wife's injuries are all in it, I have the old and the young, the child will go to school immediately to pay tuition, the family has no money, can not be counted like this. ”

Zhou Laosan is not relenting, Chu Ci is not stingy with 50,000 yuan, and she also found out that something is wrong, if she doesn't take the money, I'm afraid this matter will not be possible.

The old man said that he saw her, and now Zhou Laosan also said to his daughter that he saw it, there must be something wrong with this.

Chu Ci was about to speak, but Tang Qing took a step ahead of her: "We will give the money, but this does not mean that the person who burned your wife is us, the 50,000 yuan is given for your daughter's sake." ”

Zhou Laosan smiled when he heard that the other party was willing to give money: "Really?"

Tang Qing got up and directly transferred 50,000 yuan to Zhou Laosan on the spot, and when he received a text message reminder from the bank, Zhou Laosan was still a little unbelievable.

50,000 yuan solved Zhou Laosan's side, but this matter has been haunting Chu Ci's heart.

The two packed two servings of noodles in Zhou Laosan's shop and went back, and Chu Ci stared at the noodles in a daze.

Tang Qing's thin lips pursed: "Don't think about it, some things that should come to the surface will naturally surface, there are no eternal secrets in this world." ”

And the secret in his heart has long been ready to be discovered.

Chu Ci looked at Tang Qing and always felt that he had something to say.

"What do you think about this?"

Tang Qing stared at Chu Ci and was silent for a moment: "Let it be." ”

He already had a guess in his heart, but Chu Ci didn't need to know, knowing it would only add to his troubles.

Chu Ci let out an "oh" and buried his head in eating noodles: "I'll go back to Beicheng tomorrow morning and complete all the procedures that need to be done." ”

The room was very silent, Tang Qing didn't answer, Chu Ci ate noodles, he finally couldn't help but light a cigarette, the two were silent, and no one spoke again.

When the two returned to their rooms, they had not slept all night and were in a heavy mood.

The next day, the two set off back to Beicheng, along the way, the two only said a few words from time to time, Chu Ci slept in the car most of the time, she was very sleepy, and she didn't seem to wake up all day.

The time to go back is always faster than when you go, the next afternoon, the two arrived in Beicheng, Tang Qing sent Chu to return to Ruan's house, and the two said goodbye at the door.

Chu Ci only said two words: "Thank you." ”

Tang Qing leaned against the car door, watched Chu Ci enter, and suddenly shouted, "Wife." ”

Chu Ci's footsteps froze, his eyes were hot, and he resisted the urge to turn back.

Tang Qing stared at her back, and said in a low voice: "In my heart, you have always been my wife." ”

The sound was so soft that it blew away.

This may be the last time he will call her wife out loud in the name of her husband.
