294, Black Shadow [Ten Thousand More Requests for Subscription]
Lu Benxiong was also quite excited when he talked about what happened two months ago, which made Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang even more interested.
"We did have an argument at a dinner two months ago, and since then, our friendship has hit rock bottom. ”
"Is there a conflict between you?" Gu Chen asked.
"It's not a contradiction, I can only say that there is a misunderstanding between the two. Lu Benxiong said this, suddenly touched his pocket, and asked Gu Chen, "Can I smoke a cigarette?"
"Whatever. Gu Chen didn't mind.
"Thank you. Lu Benxiong took out a box of cigarettes, lit them with a lighter, and threw them on the coffee table, and the whole person seemed to relax a lot: "Because my wife knew that I knew each other two years ago three years ago, so she began to target Zhao Xiaomin everywhere." ”
"You mean, your wife went to Zhao Xiaomin's place of work to block her?" In Lu Weiwei's impression, it seems that the script is played like this.
Lu Benxiong shook his head and said, "No, because she both works in the same company, and my wife is her boss." ”
"Oh my God. Lu Weiwei was stunned at the time: "Your wife and Zhao Xiaomin are actually superiors and subordinates?
"That's right. Lu Benxiong did not deny it, and continued: "The reason why Zhao Xiaomin and I were able to get acquainted again was also when I picked up my wife from work, I met by chance, and my wife was very angry that day, saying that when I saw a young, beautiful and well-figured girl, my eyes began to be dishonest. ”
"Yes, there is. Gu Chen also affirmed Lu Benxiong's rhetoric, and said: "In Zhao Xiaomin's essay diary, there was once a paragraph describing his report mistakes and being criticized by his female boss, and the deep reason was because the woman's husband last time looked at her twice when he picked up the female boss from work, and then the female boss began to treat her as an imaginary enemy. ”
"yes, I know that, too, but it was a long time ago. Lu Weiwei also confirmed.
"It was five months ago. Lu Benxiong said.
Gu Chen also nodded in confirmation: "That's right, it was five months ago." ”
Officer Wang was curious, and hurriedly asked: "Lu Benxiong, I seem to know, how did you and Zhao Xiaomin meet three years ago? Moreover, why do you say that you have re-acquainted with Zhao Xiaomin? Why can't I understand this?"
"That's right. Lu Benxiong also wanted to talk about it just now, but now he was mentioned by Officer Wang, so he had to say:
"Three years ago, when I came to Wantai Hotel with customers for dinner, I really happened to meet Zhao Xiaomin and her cousin to dine here, they were both students at the time, and they didn't seem to want to spend here. ”
Lu Weiwei pursed her lips and murmured in her heart, "Heh, man." ”
"But I just looked at it a few more times. Lu Benxiong took a puff of cigarette and said: "Later, the two of them went to the toilet, and when they came out, they may have been walking too quickly and accidentally hit a middle-aged woman who was on the phone." ”
The woman's mobile phone was thrown to the ground at that time, and the corners were also broken, so she scolded them in the restaurant at that time, and Zhao Xiaomin and her cousin had to compensate for the original price. ”
Lu Weiwei said unhappily: "Both parties are at fault, one side walks too quickly, and the other side doesn't pay attention when calling, but the original price compensation can't be used, isn't it just a mobile phone case?"
Lu Benxiong smiled: "This police officer, some rich people will not reason with you, a piece of clothing is tens of thousands of yuan, and they will be thrown into the trash directly if it is stained, not to mention a mobile phone, do you think they will change the phone case?"
"And what happened later?" Gu Chen asked.
Later, I heard the noise, so I went over to take a look, because the middle-aged woman was a customer of our company, she also knew me at the time, and she sold face, so the big thing turned into a small one, and let Zhao Xiaomin and her cousin leave. ”
"Can't you see that you still have a head and a face, and you have acquaintances everywhere?" Officer Wang raised his eyebrows, looking at the somewhat handsome and successful person in front of him.
Lu Benxiong lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "In real estate, if you can know me, you can get a house on the basis of a lower price than the market price, who do you say will not give face? And that middle-aged woman is also a speculator, so she naturally doesn't dare to offend me." ”
"So that's the case?" Lu Weiwei also nodded silently and asked, "So, that's how you met?" If that's the case, it's just a meeting in Pingshui, you can only say that you are a good person, can it be considered that Zhao Xiaomin knows you? This is unreasonable, right?"
Lu Benxiong shook his head: "No, when I officially met her, it was on a campus apartment building construction project, when 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 school, but I didn't expect Zhao Xiaomin to work part-time there." ”
So she quickly recognized me, and personally mixed me a cup of milk tea, and said that she invited me to drink, which was regarded as a thank you for helping her out of the siege that day, but how could I accept her favor? She also worked part-time here, so I put down the money and left, and in a hurry, I forgot my badge at the business desk. ”
"And then?" asked Gu Chen.
And then what I didn't expect was that I was alone in the office that day, sorting through a lot of data and reports, and when I was upset, I found someone knocking on the door. ”
When I looked up, I found that Zhao Xiaomin had already come to me with milk tea and a work 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 she finished her part-time job, she brought the work number plate to find me, that day we drank milk tea, she also helped me sort out the information, we quickly got to know each other, and then began to date. ”
"But you left Zhao Xiaomin again?" Officer Wang seemed to have a premonition when he heard this.
"Yes, just half a year after I dated Zhao Xiaomin, I was transferred to Beijing by the company to be in charge of a big project there, and it was the success of that big project that allowed me to sit in the position of vice president of the company, and my income also doubled, which was the most proud time in my life. ”
"However, it also paid a huge price, in the two and a half years, I even spent two years in the capital for the Chinese New Year, except for sleeping for 5 hours a day, all the other time and energy were spent on the project. ”
"Without these two and a half years of hard work, I would never have been able to imagine that what I have today would be an unattainable dream. ”
Lu Weiwei asked weakly, "What about Zhao Xiaomin?
"Let's sort of break up peacefully. Lu Benxiong said this, but he was also frustrated: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, we are in a long-distance relationship, and we can't balance work and relationship, and I was focused on work at that time. ”
"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 do projects. ”
"But when I returned to Jiangnan City last year, I went to find Zhao Xiaomin, but she had already graduated, and she had also changed her number, and all the communications were gone. ”
"I thought it was over, but then after the introduction of a director of our company, I met my current wife, and it didn't take long for the two of us to get married, until five months ago, I drove my wife home, and I saw Zhao Xiaomin, whom I hadn't seen for three years. ”
"Oh my God. Hearing this, Lu Weiwei's whole person was not good: "It turns out that you are Zhao Xiaomin......'s ex-boyfriend?" You two can't be together!"
"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, but sometimes fate plays a joke on you, really. Lu Benxiong put the cigarette butt into the ashtray and said:
"Since that time I lost my temper with my wife because I looked at Zhao Xiaomin twice, of course, she just lost her temper, after all, I 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 cry and laugh later was that Zhao Xiaomin's current company actually cooperated with another subsidiary of our company, and I happened to be in charge of the subsidiary's business at that time, and Zhao Xiaomin was also sent by the company to dock the business. ”
"In this way, I specially arranged the business dinner in the Wantai Hotel restaurant to make up for the regret at that time, of course, the two of us just talked about work, because we knew each other before, so the business didn't take long, and the rest ...... Only eating and small talking. ”
"Could it be that the two of you are just talking about work?" Gu Chen couldn't help but say.
If you follow Lu Benxiong's words, indeed, Lu Benxiong doesn't seem to have any intention of getting back together with Zhao Xiaomin, after all, Lu Benxiong is already a family man.
And Zhao Xiaomin seems to be still silent in the previous 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 Lu Benxiong's peeking at herself, but she didn't think that there was still an intersection with Lu Benxiong.
So Zhao Xiaomin didn't mention it in his essay diary, and later said that he would wear a crop top every other day, which was also a kind of self-ridicule.
But the later docking work allowed Zhao Xiaomin to come together with Lu Benxiong again.
Lu Benxiong took this as a job and a memory, and used the best restaurant food as a treat to make up for the shortcomings of the year, but Zhao Xiaomin fell 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 his essay diary became more and more sad.
When Gu Chen was at Bai Xiaolan's grandmother's house and looked 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 now irretrievable Lu Benxiong.
Lu Benxiong looked at Gu Chen's deep eyes, and 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 like this. ”
"So in order to prevent her from falling deeper and deeper, two months ago, after my wife knew that Zhao Xiaomin was my ex-girlfriend, I took the initiative to hand over the docking work to others. ”
"And the last time I saw her was two weeks ago, after that...... We only occasionally contact us by phone, and she calls me to talk about business docking. ”
"Haven't you noticed any mood swings in Zhao Xiaomin in the past two months?" Gu Chen asked.
"I didn't ...... No. Lu Wenxiong was stunned for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "In the past two months, it seems to be normal, although we occasionally go to the Wantai Hotel restaurant to eat, but she has business difficulties, so I asked me to help, that's all." ”
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Benxiong suddenly said again: "By the way, we haven't seen each other again two weeks ago, but my wife still knows about me dining with her, and she quarreled with me a few times for this, because I want to take care of my family, I haven't seen Xiaomin, and the phone contact was interrupted a week ago." ”
"So this week, I don't know anything about Zhao Xiaomin, her circle of friends is always blank, and she may have blocked me, so ......"
"So you don't know anything about Zhao Xiaomin's movements 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 vigorously, it seemed that the police came to the door, and he was at a loss for words.
If you don't make these things clear, it seems that you are the biggest suspect.
Of course, Gu Chen wouldn't believe it all.
There is a mouth at the beginning, and the story is all made up.
Such cases are not uncommon, 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 a prime example.
"Senior Brother Gu. Seeing that Gu Chen had been pondering, Lu Weiwei walked up to him and asked, "Could it be that Zhao Xiaomin is in a depressed mood and finds a place where no one is clean and clean?"
"Probably not. Gu Chen was also not sure, and said: "If this is the case, then cosmetics and mobile phone chargers can be omitted, which means that she will not use mobile payment." ”
"But we have also investigated Zhao Xiaomin's bank transaction records, these days, in addition to the last time Zhao Xiaomin bought snacks, he used mobile payment to withdraw a sum of money from his bank card, and he hasn't moved since then, and he left for a while. ”
"Hmm!" Officer Wang also nodded, turned to Lu Benxiong and said, "Lu Benxiong, what you said today, we will still verify it, if you have half a lie, our Furong Branch will not let you go." “
"It's true. Lu Wenxiong raised his right hand and swore: "What I said, every word is true, I use my personality to guarantee, Xiaomin's disappearance, I really don't know, I'm more worried about her than you now, she will never disappear for no reason." ”
"Wait. Gu Chen suddenly hesitated and asked everyone: "Hypothesis, I mean hypothesis, Zhao Xiaomin...... Could it be that during this time, someone has offended someone, and then someone is going to retaliate against her, and if so, who do you think is most likely to be?"
Gu Chen's words suddenly quieted down the scene, and everyone began to fall into deep thought.
A few seconds later, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang almost said in unison: "Is it Lu Benxiong's wife?"
"That's right. Gu Chen's right fist smashed on his left palm: "It's his wife." ”
"My wife?" Lu Benxiong was also startled, and couldn't help but take two steps back, and the whole person was stunned on the spot.
"If you want to talk about kidnapping, the most motivated person is not you, it is your wife. Gu Chen walked up to Lu Benxiong again and said, "Think about it, your wife is Zhao Xiaomin's boss, after knowing about the two of you, will she let you two continue to eat? ”
"I didn't ...... That's right. Lu Weiwei also learned from Gu Chen's right fist to smash on her left palm, and then secretly glanced at Gu Chen, saying that if Senior Brother Gu went to eat alone with a certain girl, she would definitely not be able to stand it, not to mention Lu Benxiong's wife, who already knew that Zhao Xiaomin and her husband were ex-boyfriend and girlfriend.
"Your wife found out about your relationship two months ago. Gu Chen walked back to his seat, suddenly turned around again, and stared at Lu Benxiong with his eyes: "And after that, you still had a meal in the restaurant of Wantai Hotel, will she not know? A woman's intuition is very smart, if she knows, will she keep staring at the two of you behind her back, observing your every move?"
"Hiss!" Hearing this, Officer Wang suddenly gasped: "Gu Chen, why do you feel that the more you talk, the more terrifying it becomes? This Lu Benxiong dined with Zhao Xiaomin, and his wife Lu Benxiong would hide in the dark and secretly observe?"
Although it was Zhao Xiaomin who took the initiative to find Lu Benxiong and wanted Lu Benxiong to solve some business problems, if his wife hid at the scene, wouldn't it be good to let Lu Benxiong refuse directly? ”
Gu Chen smiled and said, "So this is the power of Lu Benxiong's wife, she can secretly monitor the two of their every move and keep these in mind." ”
Then suddenly, two days ago, he directly skipped Lu Benxiong, found Zhao Xiaomin, asked her to meet somewhere, and then waited for an opportunity to kidnap her. ”
Seeing that everyone was looking at Gu Chen with incredible eyes, Gu Chen hurriedly 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, at that moment, he turned on his entry-level imagination, and he had already simulated the scene he just said several times in his mind.
The black shadow that has always existed behind Lu Benxiong and Zhao Xiaomin is indeed Lu Benxiong's wife.
Two days ago, Lu Benxiong's wife, after two months of patience, began her own revenge plan.
She used Lu Benxiong's identity to invite Zhao Xiaomin to go to a secret place, saying that she had something important to tell her.
At that time, when Zhao Xiaomin wrote the winning work of a college love letter contest, he was bewitched by Lu Benxiong's wife and immediately thought it was true, so he didn't bring his luggage and went directly to the agreed place to meet.
After two months of inner struggle, Zhao Xiaomin missed Lu Benxiong so much, especially after not seeing him for two weeks and never talking on the phone for a week.
This time, it may be 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......
