Chapter 1443

The matter finally came out, and everything was as Gu Chen expected.

But the only thing that surprised Gu Chen was that the complex relationship between these people even involved a car accident more than ten years ago.

It can be said that if there was no car accident more than ten years ago, there would be no gratitude and resentment today.

If it were more concise and clear, Liu Zhifeng would not break a happy family if he didn't drink when driving.

But from Hu Tiankai's point of view, he has more conscience than Liu Zhifeng.

Although she was also one of the perpetrators, at least she chose to adopt Hu Li, so that Hu Li could have no worries about food and clothing, which was the biggest atonement for Hu Li's dead family.

But his inner timidity made him unable to face the facts.

Therefore, this is also the reason why Hu Li can't let go after learning the truth.

One side is her dead parents and brother, the other is Hu Tiankai, who has raised herself for more than ten years, which makes it difficult for Hu Li to choose.

Therefore, Hu Li just let people set fire to Jinma furniture Square as revenge for Hu Tiankai.

And Liu Zhifeng, the culprit who killed his parents and brother, Hu Li will not let him go.

This also led to the subsequent hiring of people to commit murder.

In general, everything seems to follow a causal link.

If you want to summarize, the most damned is Liu Zhifeng, who drives drunk, and the most unlucky is Hu Li's family, especially her mother and brother.

If Liu Zhifeng had been a little compassionate, his mother and brother might have been doing well now.

But the hypothesis is a hypothesis after all. Hu Li is also very clear that the past can never go back, but the root of the curse buried in her heart has finally led Hu Li to this road of no return.

……

……

The next day, after completing the work on the sudden death of the rainbow runner in green Villa, Gu Chen also informed Zhao Guozhi and Qin Gang for the first time.

The two leaders also fully affirmed the case handling efficiency of Gu Chen's team.

As the recent days are high school entrance examination days, everyone's work is also busier than usual.

But for the college entrance examination, it seems to be nothing.

But for those who fail in the high school entrance examination, it seems that they have to face a dilemma.

Either choose to go to technical secondary school or vocational high school, or choose to repeat for one year and then take the high school test, or choose to carry a bucket into the factory and contact the society earlier.

During the summer vacation every year, it is the peak period of summer jobs in major factories.

Even as soon as the college entrance examination is over, there will be HR recruited by the factory, specially bringing the team to send leaflets.

Of course, at this time, the main recruitment is summer jobs, and there are also long-term recruitment.

However, for the factory, it is natural to know that these students who have just graduated from school will not work for a long time, so they will not be paid very high in terms of salary.

For students, in addition to the failed students, there are also some admitted students. The reason why they choose to carry barrels into the factory in the summer vacation is also to earn a certain living cost during the summer vacation.

7 p.m.

Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei, police officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to a restaurant near No. 1 middle school in Jiangnan City for dinner.

This is also the first holiday after handling the sudden death case of rainbow runner in green Villa.

Because the case of green Villa was handled very smoothly and Qin Gang was very satisfied, Zhao Guozhi also granted a special holiday to let Gu Chen's team rest.

Therefore, Gu Chen took advantage of his rare off-duty time to take everyone to a hotel near Jiangnan No. 1 middle school for a small gathering.

"Although this hotel has a large business area, the price is relatively affordable. When we were studying, we often had dinner with our classmates."

"But now that the boss has changed, the old couple are in poor health and can no longer operate. Therefore, they transferred the hotel to others a few years ago, but there is only one requirement, that is, affordable."

Sitting in the corner, Gu Chen also talked about the past with Lu Weiwei, police officer Wang and Yuan Shasha.

Lu Weiwei said with envy on her face: "I can see that the old couple were very concerned about your students. Even the transfer of the hotel let the boss follow the principle of benefits."

"That's not true. The iron Hotel and flowing students pay more attention to word-of-mouth. The word-of-mouth saved by that team of old couples for so many years is the best advertisement." officer Wang couldn't help teasing when he heard the speech.

After all, there are a lot of students eating in this store. There is good reason for good business. The next few, which are also restaurants, have obviously worse business than this one.

Therefore, people with a clear eye know that there are reasons for good business, and word-of-mouth should be put in the first place.

"Here comes your dish."

The middle-aged man over there brought up the dishes ordered by Gu Chen as soon as the official voice of police officer Wang fell.

These are some home-made dishes, including Gu Chen's favorite shredded pork with green pepper, minced meat eggplant, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Although they are all ordinary home-made dishes, Gu Chen hesitated for two seconds before picking up chopsticks and chewing them in his mouth.

Seeing Gu Chen eating like this, Yuan Shasha on the side also asked curiously, "elder martial brother Gu, what's the matter with you? How do you eat like a little girl?"

"Ah?" Gu Chen was stunned and hurriedly explained, "I want to taste it. It's much worse than that."

"How bad do you think?" Lu Weiwei tilted her head and looked at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen smiled faintly and said, "generally speaking, the taste has not changed much. I still feel that taste. Maybe I have been instructed by the old couple in cooking."

"You mean the two old people before?" the landlady calculated the bill on the cashier. Listening to Gu Chenyi, she suddenly looked up and asked.

Gu Chen turned his head and echoed, "yes, that's the old couple before."

"Well, they are not in good health." the landlady took advantage of her spare time to go to Gu Chen and casually found a vacant seat to sit down first.

Can see Gu Chen at the same time, suddenly hesitated a few times, and then began to look up and down at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen was stunned and hurriedly asked, "landlady, is there anything wrong?"

"Is your name Gu Chen?" said the landlady weakly, and she didn't seem to be sure.

Gu Chen nodded slightly and admitted: "yes, my name is Gu Chen, but the landlady, we don't seem to have met. How do you know my name is Gu Chen?"

"So you're really Gu Chen?" she looked at Gu Chen again. The landlady smiled and said, "it hasn't changed. It hasn't changed at all. You wait."

When the voice fell, the landlady directly stood up and walked towards the cashier.

Then, the landlady picked up the key, opened the middle drawer of the cashier, looked inside for a few times, took out a color photo and went directly to Gu Chen.

"Here, see what this is?"

Before Gu Chen took the photo, Lu Weiwei took it first, took it in her hand, suddenly brightened her eyes and said in surprise: "isn't this what junior brother Gu looked like when he was in high school? She's still wearing a school uniform."

"And an old couple around here, isn't it..."

Glancing up at the landlady, Lu Weiwei said again, "is this the old couple in the hotel before?"

"Yes." the landlady nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I also heard what the old man said, saying that this may be the most promising student of Jiangnan No. 1 middle school."

"Because Gu Chen was about to leave here after the college entrance examination, the old couple couldn't bear to let Gu Chen take this group photo with the help of others when he had dinner here for the last time."

"Later, the old couple printed out this color photo, one in the hotel and the other for themselves."

"And the old couple also said that if Gu Chen comes back to this restaurant for dinner one day, remember to give him a free bill, count them as their treat, and transfer the money back to me."

"What can I do? It's just a meal. They don't have to give it. As long as I see Gu Chen, I'll give him a free bill."

Listening to the boss's wife's words, everyone looked at each other. I felt it was too unexpected.

Yuan Sasa was excited and said, "it turns out that eating... Can really brush your face."

"Ha ha." officer Wang didn't know what to say. He felt that Gu Chen's face in Jiangnan No. 1 middle school was really great.

Even the restaurant owner wanted to give a free ticket. It can be seen that Gu Chen's popularity in school was unspeakable.

Gu Chen frowned and hurriedly asked the landlady, "where are the old couple now? Can you still get in touch?"

"Er!" the landlady hesitated briefly when she heard Gu Chen's words.

But soon, Gu Chen, with sharp eyes, asked, "what's the matter? What's the matter with them?"

"Well, it's... nothing. I guess it's just that I'm not in good health."

"Landlady, bring a box of beer."

Before the landlady finished speaking, there were customers shouting at the other end.

The landlady hurriedly said, "come on, wait a minute."

Glancing back at Gu Chen, the landlady said again, "I'll be busy first and talk later."

"OK." Gu Chen doesn't want to chat with the landlady when she is busy.

While the landlady was carrying beer behind the cashier, the boss came out of the back kitchen with dishes and passed the landlady.

The landlady hurriedly reminded: "husband, that person is Gu Chen."

"Ah?" the boss with the dishes was also stunned, and hurriedly asked the landlady, "who do you say is Gu Chen?"

"Just that..."

The landlady with a box of beer on her plate can only skim her chin in the direction of Gu Chen.

The boss squinted and meditated for a few seconds. Then he said, "so he is Gu Chen mentioned by the two couples?"

"Well, just him. I didn't expect to meet him today." the landlady also looked happy, as if her relatives came to visit.

The boss hurried to deliver the dishes to the guest's table. As a result, he came to Gu Chen and said, "so you are Gu Chen? Before, the boss of this restaurant often mentioned you to our husband and wife."

"It's just that we haven't met in recent years."

"I also came here for the first time after graduation." Gu Chen said one thing and directly asked the boss, "I don't know how the old couple are doing now?"

"Harm." hearing Gu Chen's words, the boss seems to be the same as the boss's wife's reaction just now, but also with a lost face.

Gu Chen frowned and seemed to have an ominous feeling, so he hurriedly asked, "what's the matter with them?"

"It's just that I'm not in good health. What else can I do?" sitting in the position of the boss's wife just now, the boss also complained on his face: "the bad is that his son's sudden disappearance has confused the couple."

"No, you wait a minute." after hearing what the hotel owner said, Gu Chen quickly interrupted, "you just said that the sons of the two couples suddenly disappeared?"

"Isn't it?" the boss crossed his legs and said: "just two years ago, the son of the couple seemed to have a stiff relationship with the work unit here, so he went to Pengcheng to work."

"Because their sons have no culture, they can only go to work in Pengcheng's factory. It is said that they have found a factory."

"But you don't know Pengcheng. The consumption is too high, so the old couple haven't followed the past for the time being and continue to operate hotels here."

After a pause, the hotel owner sighed and said, "it's just the beginning. Fortunately, I can call back once a week, but later it became a call once a half month. Later, there was no contact for a month."

"The old couple are also anxious. You say it's even better if they don't come back for the Spring Festival. It's OK to call back? But no, so the old couple called. As a result, no one answered the phone and lost contact directly."

"In the next six months, his son never heard from him."

"Isn't it?" I heard her husband explain there. After finishing her work, the landlady also took the initiative to move a small wooden chair and sat beside the people

"I haven't called back for half a year. At first, the old couple thought it was because their son lost money playing cards, so they changed it. They may contact themselves after a while."

"But there was no phone call until the evening of new year's Eve."

Speaking of this, the landlady also had no good way: "the old couple are too poor. They put their mobile phone there and waited so quietly all night. They are desperate. Do they feel that their son has suffered an accident?"

"So, on the first day of the lunar new year, the old couple chose to call the police. The police also investigated it, but... There was not much progress."

"Therefore, the son of the old couple has been treated as a missing person."

"Later, the old couple didn't want to run the hotel, and their health was getting worse day by day. Later, both of them were seriously ill and couldn't run any more, so they transferred the hotel to our husband and wife."

"So?" Gu Chen finally understood after hearing the boss's words.

It turned out that the old couple didn't live very well in the past two years.

But the only sustenance of the two husband and wife disappeared. Gu Chen understood the pain of the two old people very much.

You know, the two old people married late, belonging to late marriage and late childbirth. This son belongs to their sweetheart. Over the years, he has been growing up in doting.

It can be said that the old couple gave everything for the son, but in the end, the son disappeared.

This is tantamount to announcing the collapse of the old couple.

Gu Chen took a deep breath and was not in the mood to eat again. He quickly asked the landlady, "landlady, where do you know the old couple live now?"

"Well, it seems to be in the old city of Chengnan railway station, near the overpass. I don't know exactly where it is." the landlady said.

"What about the contact information?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Contact information is available. The old man can use his smart phone. I'll make a video call." the restaurant owner smelled the speech and quickly took out his mobile phone.

Then, in the wechat address book, I found the contact information of the old man and made a video call directly in front of everyone.

The phone was waiting for "dududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududu.

The restaurant owner was worried and said, "what's the matter with the old man? Why don't you answer the phone?"

"Another one." Lu Weiwei was also worried and hurried.

"Wait a minute." the restaurant owner pressed his left hand, and then another video phone called.

At this moment, the phone was finally connected by the other party after two beeps.

A haggard old man with wrinkled face and gray hair looked at the restaurant owner opposite in a dark room and asked, "what's up?"

"Sir, who is this?" the restaurant owner pulled Gu Chen down and aimed his mobile phone lens at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen also smiled and waved to the boss in the camera: "Sir, do you still know me?"

"Gu... Gu Chen?" seeing Gu Chen, the boss immediately rubbed his eyes for fear of recognizing the wrong person.

But when I came closer, I saw that Gu Chen was still waving to him, and uncle finally smiled at the moment.

"Gu Chen? It's really you. Gu Chen? I haven't seen you for many years. You're still the same, or the original school grass?"

"Sir, look what you said. I'm just an ordinary middle school student."

"Well, you're not ordinary. From the first day I met you, I felt that your boy was different from others."

Seeing Gu Chen, the old man is also very happy. He can't help saying to Gu Chen:

"I still remember that among the students who come to my restaurant for dinner, only you are reading every day, while others are playing mobile phone chat."

"At that time, I felt that if the child could study hard in this noisy environment, he would be promising in the future. Cough..."

Finally, the old man seemed overjoyed and suddenly coughed twice.

So the old man quickly covered his mouth with his hands and took out the paper towel next to him to wipe it for a few times.

Gu Chen frowned and hurriedly asked, "Sir, is it bad for you?"

"Still... OK, just a little older." when I heard Gu Chen's words, I also forced to smile.

"What about aunt?" Gu Chen asked again.

The old man frowned and seemed very embarrassed.

PS: in fact, in reality, the old couple opened a noodle shop, which was affordable and delicious. I have always been a regular customer there. Later, the old couple had no health, so they had to transfer the shop to others, and then... It didn't taste like that. In fact, the old couple opened a shop there because their son worked nearby and wanted to accompany his son without adding trouble to his son, I just opened a noodle shop. Well, I miss the old couple. They look like a star couple and are very good to me. This reminds me of another old man. Later, I will write it in other stories.
