2436, international call(1/3)

Since he didn't know much about the relationship between Hu Shirley and Nie Ping before, Gu Chen could only find out some specific details through the white-haired old man's narration.

But now, when he got on the phone with Hu Xueli, Gu Chen could clearly feel that Hu Xueli's mood swings were a bit big on the other end of the phone.

"We will discuss this matter later. What we want to know now is, what is so special about the button of the eagle totem?"

"But you said there is nothing special about it, but the case we are involved in here seems to revolve around the button of the eagle totem, so..."

"So, what do you want to know?" Hu Xueli on the other end of the phone started to get excited before Gu Chen finished speaking.

"So, I want to know, how did you get this button of the eagle totem?"

As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking here, there was no movement on the other end.

The two sides were in a stalemate.

When Gu Chen saw this, he quickly asked again: "Hu Xueli, are you listening?"

"I'm listening." After hearing Gu Chen's words, Hu Shirley also sighed, and then said slowly:

"I bought the button of the eagle totem in a store in Shanghai."

"Because I felt at the time that both the workmanship and the exquisiteness of the pattern were very good."

"Besides, I know Nie Ping likes this kind of artistic buttons, so I want to buy them for him."

"What's the specific time? When did you buy this button?" Gu Chen quickly asked again.

Hu Xueli on the other end of the phone hesitated for a few seconds and then said slowly:

"I remember it was the first year we met, right? At that time, we met on Wall Street in the United States."

"After that, the relationship between the two of us got better and better. After returning to China during the winter vacation, I invited him to travel to Shanghai, and finally we ended up at this store."

After saying this, Gu Chen clearly felt that the breathing on the other end of the phone had become rapid.

"Then what?" Gu Chen continued to ask.

"Then? Then the two of us walked into the store. Nie Ping took a fancy to the buttons of the eagle totem, and coincidentally, I also happened to take a fancy to it."

"So I decided to buy it and give it to Nie Ping as a token of our love."

"So, no matter where Nie Ping goes, he will always wear the button of this eagle totem on his body."

"So that's it?" After hearing what Hu Xueli said, Gu Chen quickly asked: "So, do you still remember the address of the button shop where you bought the Eagle Totem?"

"I don't really remember." Sherry Hu on the other end of the phone paused and continued:

"Because I stayed abroad for a long time. After I got married, I was sent to Shanghai by the head office for a project in the mainland."

"Because my family lives in Shanghai, it is more convenient to work here, so..."

After a brief pause for a few seconds, Hu Shirley also said with a grudge: "Actually, I don't want to come back at all. I have thought about being with Nie Ping, but the whole family is behind me."

"I know that I can't go against my family's wishes. I married someone I don't love, but I want to return to Shanghai. I don't like Wall Street from the bottom of my heart."

"I know." After hearing what Hu Xueli said, Gu Chen also nodded silently and couldn't help but say:

"I have heard some things about you. Your family is a high-end elite family, and your parents both work in Wall Street investment banks."

"You may belong to Wall Street, but you chose to fight against Wall Street, and you even joined the demonstrations against Wall Street."

"It shows that you are not interested in Wall Street."

"Yes, Nie Ping's father told you, right?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, Hu Xueli was not stupid. She quickly understood that Gu Chen learned everything about herself from Nie Ping's father.

Gu Chen also echoed and said: "Yes, we are now in the shop where Nie Ping was alive, and his father is also here."

"The reason why I'm looking for you is because the button of the eagle totem you gave to Nie Ping was stolen."

"What? Stolen? Impossible, right?" After hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Hu Shirley also looked in disbelief and quickly asked:

"Comrade policeman, this is just an ordinary button. If it has any value? Then the value lies in its commemorative significance, but it itself is not very valuable."

"But such a thing can be stolen? How... how is this possible?"

"How is this impossible? This thing has happened before, but later, the other party let him go again." Gu Chen said.

"Uh... Comrade police, I don't understand. Are you saying that the button of the eagle totem was stolen and then sent back?"

"Yes." Gu Chen sighed softly and said slowly:

"Whether you believe it or not, we have caught the suspect who stole that hole."

"Moreover, this suspect was instigated by others to come to Jiangnan City from the Magic City and rented a house opposite the shop where Nie Ping lived."

"The other party also took advantage of Nie Ping's father to go out to buy groceries, sneaked into the store, and then stole the buttons."

"Then, based on the instructions behind his back, he sent it back the next day."

"How could this happen?" Listening to Gu Chen's words, Hu Xueli on the phone became more and more nervous.

When Gu Chen saw this, he quickly asked: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"I don't know, I don't know what is going on?" After hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Hu Shirley also sobbed and said:

"Obviously Nie Ping is dead, why is this still happening? What kind of trouble is going on?"

"Wait a minute." It seemed that he also heard that Hu Shirley's words on the phone were a little unusual. Gu Chen quickly asked:

"What do you mean by that?"

"I……"

Faced with Gu Chen's doubts, Hu Xueli on the other end of the phone seemed a little at a loss.

"You know something, right? About that button?" Gu Chen said.

"Then why were you so excited just now?" Gu Chen also had something to say.

"I……"

Hu Shirley was speechless for a moment, and the atmosphere instantly became awkward.

"What are you talking about? This is very important to us." Gu Chen also explained the key points to her.

After a few more seconds, Gu Chen heard Hu Xueli on the other end of the phone sigh heavily, and then said slowly:

"Actually, I don't know whether this matter has anything to do with that person?"

"Who?" Gu Chen asked.

"That's it, the owner of that button." Hu Shirley said.

Gu Chen didn't quite understand, so he continued to ask: "Can you explain more clearly what is going on with this button?"

"Comrade police, I can't explain this clearly on the phone. How about this? When you have time, can I come to Jiangnan City specifically?"

On the phone, Hu Shirley also seemed extremely nervous. She seemed to be afraid of something?

This made Gu Chen feel very suspicious.

Nie Ping has been dead for several years, but the button of the eagle totem is just a relic from Nie Ping's lifetime.

However, it can be remembered by thieves.

But the key point is that this thief was ordered by someone to rush to Jiangnan City from the Magic City.

Moreover, judging from the rented house, they came specifically to take away the button of the eagle totem.

Of course, Gu Chen didn't know why someone would go to such trouble to get an ordinary eagle totem button.

But you can get it if you can, but why? You want to send this button back quietly?

Everything seems to make people feel very curious.

Coupled with Hu Xueli's call now, Gu Chen has clearly felt that Hu Xueli seems to be hiding something from him, and he doesn't dare to say it on the phone.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen quickly gave the time: "How about you leave now and rush to Jiangnan City? When will you arrive and when will I pick you up? Do you think that's okay?"

"Okay." Seeing Gu Chen's arrangement, Hu Xueli on the phone quickly agreed:

"Then, I will check now to see what means of transportation can be used to reach Jiangnan City. I will use the fastest means of transportation."

"Okay." Gu Chen readily agreed.

Hu Shirley, who was on the other end of the phone, also said quickly: "Is this phone number your private number?"

"Yes." Gu Chen said.

"Okay, let's use this number to contact you. I will notify you after I check the time."

"Can."

"Okay, let's do this first."

The two also exchanged a few simple greetings before they both hung up the phone.

At this moment, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha were also surrounding Gu Chen.

Gu Chen looked back at the old man in the corner of the room, and then he looked at each other face to face.

"Is she coming over?" Lu Weiwei asked softly.
