Chapter 134: Witnesses
Chen Xiao didn't speak, and the room became extremely quiet. Gu Shi'an silently cleaned up the house, and went to the kitchen to sit down and eat while washing clothes.
When she stood and chose vegetables, she unconsciously started to stay, and it took a long time before she came back to her senses and continued to choose vegetables.
Chen Xiao is no longer tossing, and people are no longer in the living room. I don't know if I went to the study or went back to the bedroom.
Gu Shi'an dried her clothes, cooked the soup in the kitchen, and then she began to cook other dishes. Then he took the dishes and chopsticks and put the food on the table.
She was originally going to call Chen Xiao, but she went back to the kitchen to get something, and when she went back, Chen Xiao was already sitting at the dining table.
There was no need for Gu Shi'an to call now, she just sat down and started to serve the meal.
The food he has to eat these days is light, and the fried vegetables are also very light. Chen Xiao probably has no appetite, and the whole person is absent-minded.
Gu Shi'an didn't care about him, and ate by himself. The two hadn't eaten together for a long time, and the dinner table was very quiet.
Stay until you've eaten. Gu Shi'an put away the dishes and chopsticks, and said while picking up his bag: "The leftovers are enough to eat at night, and you can eat them when the microwave is hot." She didn't look at Chen Xiao, paused slightly, and then said, "If your aunt doesn't come back for a while, I suggest you find someone else as soon as possible." It's better to eat less things outside. ”
Chen Xiao probably didn't expect her to leave so quickly, coughed with his hand against his lips, and said, "Where are people so easy to find." Besides, Assistant Sun is not here, and they can't do this. ”
But just looking for an aunt, it seems like a big deal for him.
Gu Shi'an did not speak.
Chen Xiao glanced at her again, and then said, "Didn't you come over?" I'll just stay here for the time being. ”
The more he talked, the more justified he became, and he was very confident.
Gu Shi'an didn't raise his head and said, "I still have something." ”
His mouth has always been very neat, and she didn't say much to him, so she took the bag and walked to the entrance.
Chen Xiao saw that she was in a hurry to leave, and he couldn't stop her, so he also picked up his coat and said, "I've been bored in the hospital for the past few days, and I'll go out for a walk." ”
Gu Shi'an's footsteps stopped at this moment, looked at him, and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
Chen Xiao looked around and muttered, "It's boring for me to be alone." ”
Gu Shi'an originally wanted to say that the doctor made it best to recuperate in the past few days, but after thinking about it a little, he felt that he was inevitably too lenient. Regardless of whether he could get out or not, he walked to the door.
Chen Xiao also walked out.
Stay until you get to the elevator. He coughed and asked, "Where to go, I'll send you." ”
Gu Shi'an looked at the numbers on the elevator and said no. Chen Xiao was about to say something, just as the elevator stopped, he followed into the elevator.
I don't know who called, but his phone rang when he entered the elevator. His brow furrowed, he looked at it, and then picked it up.
He didn't know what was said on the other side of the phone, and his brow furrowed tightly. Gu Shi'an didn't care, and when the elevator reached the first floor, he got out of the elevator.
Chen Xiao's car was parked in the parking lot, he looked at the elevator and then at Gu Shi'an, thinking that she might not be able to get a taxi when she went out at this time, so she planned to drive the car out first.
His movements were neat, and it didn't take long for him to drive the car out. It was only when I left the community that I found that Gu Shi'an was no longer there, and I didn't know which direction I was going.
Chen Xiao was more or less annoyed, and took his mobile phone to call Gu Shi'an. I called Gu Shi'an twice in a row, but he didn't answer. He threw his phone aside, closed his eyes and leaned back in the car seat.
Gu Shi'an's luck was quite good, and he met a taxi driving out of the community at the door. She got into the car.
She hasn't done anything to take care of Chen Xiao in the hospital these days, and she has even delayed finding a store.
Since they were all out, she didn't go back. Just go to the storefront. I called the old lady halfway through and asked her how she was doing.
Gu Chengde's family was quite able to hide it, the old lady didn't know that she resigned, and she got into trouble, and even asked her on the phone if her work had been going well recently.
Gu Shi'an didn't tell her that he had plans to resign, so he said that it was all good.
The grandparents and grandchildren chattered on the phone for a long time, Gu Shi'an originally wanted to meet the old lady, but there were many things during this time. I was afraid of leaking the stuffing, so I didn't mention anything in the end. Just let the old lady take care of herself, and she will come to see her in a few days.
When she hung up the phone, she stood for a while before putting the phone back in her pocket. Then I found an empty façade along the street.
The place she was looking for today was a food street, and there was a lot of traffic. She herself thinks it's a good position. But there is no empty façade on the whole street. The only storefront with a transfer is at the end of the street, only a few square meters, not even a kitchen.
She had to give up the idea of looking for a storefront here.
Today's harvest is better than the previous few days, out of the food street she did see a few stores, although none of them are what she wants, but it is barely possible.
She took photos one by one, and planned to make a decision after discussing it with Chang Yan.
After a long time, she was already tired, and when she saw that the sky had darkened, she stopped leaving. I plan to call Chang Yin, call her for dinner, and discuss it together by the way.
As soon as she took out her mobile phone, her mobile phone rang before the call could be dialed. Coincidentally, the call was from Chang Yin, so she answered it.
As soon as she fed her, Chang Yan on the other end of the phone asked her where she was. said that she saw a suitable store and asked Gu Shi'an to take a look.
She has always done things safely, and since she said it was appropriate, it should be good. Gu Shi'an didn't say anything about his gains, asked her where she was, and then took a taxi.
In the past, she realized that Chang Yan was not alone, and there was a man about thirty years old standing next to her.
She didn't tell her that there was still someone, Gu Shi'an couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Still, she quickly stepped forward.
Chang Yan was down-to-earth and generous, and introduced Gu Shi'an to the man. The man smiled slightly and nodded at Gu Shi'an. said: "Hello Miss Gu, although it is the first time we meet, I often hear Chang Yin mention you." My surname is Qi, just call me Lao Qi. That's what they all call it. ”
He was courteous. Although he asked Gu Shi'an to call him Lao Qi, where could he call him that. Gu Shi'an politely called Mr. Qi.
This person was obviously not the person she saw at the back door of the club that night, and Gu Shi'an was puzzled about his identity. As if he knew what she was thinking, Chang Yan added, "This is my boss." ”
Gu Shi'an was a little unclear about the current situation, Qi Hantong on the side raised his wrist to look at the time, and said, "The façade is just ahead, go and see it first or eat something first?" ”
The two of them have already seen it, and they are asking for Gu Shi'an's opinion. Gu Shi'an said now: "Let's go see it first." ”
The façade is indeed not far away, but it is only a three- or four-minute walk. It is a small façade, the entrance is very narrow, but there is no winter inside, very spacious.
This used to be a restaurant, and the back kitchen was renovated. The previous owner also left things such as refrigerators, tables and chairs. The most important thing is that the location of such a large store is also good, and the rent is one-third lower than what Gu Shi'an used to see today.
Qi Hantong is obviously an expert in catering, and when Gu Shi'an saw it, he talked about the rational use of the storefront. After reading it all, he said, "I asked the landlord, and if you think it's appropriate, you can sign the contract right away." You can discuss it. ”
He was very amused, and after saying this, he stopped staying, and found an excuse to go out.
Gu Shi'an turned around again, looked at Chang Yin, and asked, "I think it's good, what do you think?" She grimaced, then said, "The most important thing is that the rent is much lower than in the same location." I've looked at several of them today, and the worst ones are asking for this rent. Where did you find this? ”
Chang Yan smiled at this time, looked out the door, and said, "This is what my boss is looking for." It was transferred by a friend of his friend. ”
Gu Shi'an nodded. The two discussed a few more details, and then decided to sign the contract with the landlord tomorrow.
The store was relieved to find Gu Shi'an, and when he saw that it was not early, he asked Chang Yan what there was to eat nearby, and he went to eat first.
Chang Yan doesn't come here very often, and he doesn't know what to eat around here. However, her boss Qi Hantong was very familiar with this neighborhood, and after soliciting everyone's opinions, he decided to take the two of them to eat hot pot.
He is worthy of being a catering, and he is also the first to talk about food. Gu Shi'an nodded as he listened.
The local people he recommended were popular, but fortunately, he and the boss were familiar with each other, and the boss asked them to add tables.
Qi Hantong was undoubtedly very gentlemanly, and after sitting down, he poured tea for the two. The waiter didn't care about this, so he started to burn the dishes and chopsticks.
When it was time to order, he handed over the menu directly to the two of them. I just give some advice from time to time, saying that those things here are more delicious.
When the two of them ordered, he directly called the waiter.
When he started eating, Gu Shi'an realized that he was quite concerned about Chang Yin. He even knows what Chang Yin likes to eat and what he doesn't like to eat. From time to time, I will get some vegetables for her.
His actions are not intimate, but they are also not abrupt.
Gu Shi'an was more or less puzzled in his heart, but he didn't ask anything.
This store was found with the help of Qi Hantong, and he couldn't ask for this meal. Gu Shi'an went to the cashier to pay for it on the pretext of going to the bathroom halfway through eating. was told that Qi Han was also a friend of their boss, and this meal was invited by their boss.
Gu Shi'an had to return to his position.
Qi Hantong's words are not very many, and they are not cold when they say it just right. Because of the store decoration planning, this meal took a long time. The customers in the store left one after another, and the three of them left.
Qi Hantong wanted to say hello to the boss. Gu Shi'an and Chang Yin went outside first.
Gu Shi'an wanted to ask about the relationship between Qi Hantong and Chang Yin, but in the end he didn't speak.
Qi Hantong came out quickly, and he drove over. I want to send Gu Shi'an and Chang Yin back.
It was enough to trouble him, Gu Shi'an's first reaction was to refuse. It's just that before she said anything about refusal, Qi Hantong asked her not to be polite.
It's already late, so naturally it's not good for people to send two places. Chang Yan went to Gu Shi'an's side.
After they washed up and sat down on the sofa, Gu Shi'an asked when Chang Yan planned to resign.
Since the stores were all found with the help of Qi Hantong, Chang Yin must have been prepared to resign.
Chang Yan said that the store was already recruiting, and she would be able to leave after finding someone. She was looking forward to having a store, and her tone was more relaxed than usual.
She still has to go to work, and the decoration of this store has to fall completely on Gu Shi'an. She asked about Chang Yan's idea of decoration.
The two of them went to sleep separately in the middle of the night, and Gu Shi'an didn't have to go to work, so he slept until he woke up naturally. When I got up, I left early. I left her a note and told her to go directly to the landlord to sign the contract at noon.
Gu Shi'an went to wash up while watching, and after cleaning up, he called the landlord according to the phone number he left for Chang Yin. Hurried out the door.
The signing of the contract was very smooth, and the landlord gave her the keys directly after signing. Gu Shi'an was not idle. In the afternoon, I ran to the building materials market.
She had been outside all day, and it was already eight o'clock when she got home. As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the building, I saw Chen Xiao standing under the street lamp.
She was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
Chen Xiao should have been waiting for a long time. He raised his head when he heard her words. He was a little uncomfortable and replied, "I haven't found an hourly job yet." ”
Gu Shi'an didn't understand what he meant, so he looked at him and waited for him to continue.
Chen Xiao was even more uncomfortable at this time, avoiding Gu Shi'an's sight. He said, "I haven't eaten yet, come back with me?" ”
Where would he not find a part-time worker? But it's just an excuse for him. Gu Shi'an's heart is clear.
She didn't speak for a while, and after a while, she looked at the person under the street lamp again, and said, "Chen Xiao, when I talk about divorce, I'm not talking about fun. I was in the hospital a few days ago, but it was because I was a husband and wife. I'm not going back, and you don't have to, the doctor told you to recuperate. ”
Her tone was calm, not even a little wavering. After a slight pause, she continued, "I have prepared the divorce agreement and will send it to you soon." We don't have any property to divide, which is quite convenient. I hope you can sign it as soon as possible. ”
She didn't pause for a moment, staring straight at the dim light in front of her, her face equally calm. Apparently it was thought out a long time ago.
Chen Xiao looked at her fixedly, and the corners of his lips hooked up a little mockery. didn't jump like thunder like before, and asked coldly: "It seems that in the past few days in the hospital, you just looked at me pitiful and sympathized with me." ”
Gu Shi'an didn't speak and fell silent.
Her silence seemed to be acquiescence in Chen Xiao's eyes. His fists clenched unconsciously, but they slowly loosened in the end. looked straight at Gu Shi'an for a while, and then gritted his teeth and said, "If you want me to sign, don't even think about it!" ”
Gu Shi'an no longer asked him what he wanted to do, looked at him, and said, "Even if you don't sign, I will sue." ”
Chen Xiao's fists clenched again, he didn't know what he remembered, his eyes were fixed on Gu Shi'an's face, and he asked word by word: "Can't wait?" ”
When he said this, a sneer appeared on his face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You can also sue and try it." I promised a divorce, what do you think you can do? You can also wait until two years later, and after two years of separation, the winning rate is estimated to be much greater. ”
After he said this, he didn't talk nonsense anymore, and got into the car not far away. Slammed the door and left.
Gu Shi'an had already consulted and knew that what he said was true. He took a deep breath and looked down at his own shadow on the ground, then turned and went upstairs.
She hadn't eaten all night because of Chen Xiao's appearance. She is no longer in the mood to cook. I don't go to get food, and I just lean against the door when I enter the door. It wasn't until a long time later that I went inside. Throw the bag aside and go straight to the wash.
She was tired and lay down in bed straight after taking a shower. I didn't even eat anything and went to sleep.
As Qin Tang's lawyer said, on the third day, a police officer came to talk to Gu Shi'an. Then he questioned her as he had asked her at the police station. also raised several sharp questions, both inside and outside of the words, asking Gu Shi'an to confess his guilt and surrender to the law.
Although Gu Shi'an is the biggest suspect, they don't have any evidence in their hands. If there is evidence, it is not as simple as sending her to question. Because the lawyer had already explained to her, she was not flustered.
There was still no answer to this questioning, and Gu Shi'an only heard from another small policeman when he left that someone in the company came forward to guarantee that she would not do anything to set fires.
She had never heard of these things, and she didn't call Xiao Wang until she left the police station.
Xiao Wang is still in the company, and when he heard Gu Shi'an's question, he said that the police often appeared in the company during this time.
Luo Yun still said that she was setting fire in revenge, but Manager Dou stood up and vouched for her position that she would not do such a thing.
There are also colleagues who usually have a good relationship with Gu Shi'an and stand up and say that she will not set the fire.
Gu Shi'an was slightly distracted, and even she felt that she was the most motivated. Where did she think that Manager Dou would stand up and say that it was fake if she was not moved.
She wanted to say something, but she couldn't say a word.
Xiao Wang was anxious on the phone and asked her if she had found any evidence during this time. It has been a stalemate for this time, but I am afraid that Luo Yun's side will suddenly conjure up evidence. That would undoubtedly be bad for her.
She has been paying attention to Luo Yun and Shu Min in the company these days, but neither of them has any abnormalities.
Gu Shi'an didn't want her to worry, so he said that there were some clues. Xiao Wang breathed a sigh of relief on the phone. Let Gu Shi'an tell her what she wants to do. She's in the company, and it's much easier for her to inquire or get things done.
Gu Shi'an thanked her, hung up the phone, and stood for a while before getting into the car.
Things have always been deadlocked, and Gu Shi'an thought it would be a stalemate. Who knew that a few days later, she was summoned again for questioning.
She was not the only one present, there was also a woman in her fifties. Gu Shi'an knew each other and was a cleaner in their company.
She had some bad premonitions, but she still restrained herself and sat down calmly.
The policeman who asked was still the same one a few days ago, and he asked Gu Shi'an if he knew the woman. Gu Shi'an replied at this time, "I know."
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at the woman.
But the woman did not look at her, but avoided her gaze.
The policeman glanced at the two of them and said, "She said she saw it the day you set the fire." ”
Gu Shi'an said at this time: "I didn't let the fire go. ”
The policeman ignored her and told the woman what had happened that day.
The woman had been prepared for a long time, and talked about it intermittently. said that he saw Gu Shi'an come out that day and then fell back to the data room.
She didn't pay attention to it at first, and it wasn't until she noticed the smoke that she realized that there was a fire in the data room. Although she didn't see the fire set by Gu Shi'an with her own eyes, before the fire, she was the only one who had been to the data room. So she set the fire in the library.
The arson was a big deal, and she was terrified. So much so that she didn't dare to say when the police asked her. That's why I didn't come out as a witness until now.
There was no flaw in what she said, and she even described the situation vividly. Even Xiao Wang went upstairs, she said it clearly.
Gu Shi'an clearly remembered that there was no one in the hall at that time. When asked about her, she said she was cleaning around the corner at that time. There was a dead end, and she could see the hall, and the people in the hall couldn't see her if they weren't paying attention.
The police had probably been to the scene and did not question her words. Ask Gu Shi'an if what she said is true.
She can speak so fluently, apparently she has rehearsed many times in advance. It's very realistic. Even Gu Shi'an, the client, couldn't find any loopholes.
She knew that her emotions were not stable right now. Speaking will only mean saying too many mistakes, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will fall into the trap set by others.
She reiterated that she had not set the fire and then remained silent to see a lawyer.
Now there is a 'human witness'. Naturally, she couldn't get out. Taken into custody.
Gu Shi'an knew that this aunt must have been bribed, so he restrained himself from calming down. It wasn't until she was taken out that she looked at her and asked her expressionlessly why she had framed herself.
The aunt was a little flustered, but only for a moment. immediately said that he was not lying, and he didn't go to see Gu Shi'an, and hurriedly followed the police.
Gu Shi'an was taken back to the small room where he stayed for the first time again. She asked when she could see a lawyer, but the police officer did not answer her. Without even looking at her, he let her stay honestly, and then closed the door and walked away with a bang.
