Chapter 1 — Nghien Chu Safety Station

My husband called at three in the morning and told me to get out and move the car. I immediately reported to the police that he had killed someone and hid the body. At six o'clock in the morning, my husband, Tran Nghien Chu, called me. As soon as I picked up the phone, his cold voice came from the other end of the line. "Co Nam Chi, go downstairs and move the car." I hugged the blanket and sat up. The other end of the line was very quiet. As quiet as a completely sealed room. I didn't speak up. He urged again: "Hurry up, the car is blocking the fire road, the key is on the cabinet outside the mysterious gate." I stared at the caller ID displayed on the screen. Tran Nghien Chu. My husband. The voice is also yours. It's just that after three years of marriage, he rarely coldly calls me by my full name like that. I felt a bit strange, maybe he was drunk? “Where are you?” I asked. The other party was silent for two seconds. "Company. Just move the car first, don't ask too much." The other party hung up immediately. I looked at the time, three eight minutes in the morning. My palms were sweaty, but the next second, I still called 110. The operator's voice was clear: "Hello, this is the report receiving center." I gulped. "I want to report the case." "My husband, Tran Nghien Chu, may have murdered someone." "The body may have been hidden in his black Cullinan in the underground parking lot of Van Lan Cong Quan area, license plate Van A9Z77." The operator obviously paused. "Miss, can you be more specific? Where is your husband now? Who is the deceased?" I pressed the button. nails into the palm of the hand. The pain kept me awake. "I don't know who the dead person is." "But just now, at three o'clock in the morning, he called me and told me to go downstairs and move the car." "I suspect there is something in the car." "Please send someone here immediately." The operator did not ask any more meaningless questions. "Please keep the phone contactable, stay in a safe place and do not come close to the car." I replied. After hanging up the phone, I stood in front of the mysterious gate. The car key is right on the shoe cabinet. Black leather hook, silver car logo. I reached out to touch it, then immediately withdrew it. Do not touch. That thought exploded in my head. I put on my coat, picked up my phone and locked the door. Five minutes later, the resident chat group exploded. 【Why is there a police car in parking lot B2?】 【Whose house did this happen to?】 【Miss Co, is your husband's car blocking the fire path?】 I didn't answer. I stood in front of the elevator, listening to the sound of the elevator jumping up each floor. Ting. The elevator door opens. Two policemen and a man wearing a black jacket stepped out. The man's eyes were sharp, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked: "Co Nam Chi?" I nodded. "I'm Tan Tranh, the city's criminal police team. The one who reported that her husband had killed someone and hid his body was you?" "Yes." Captain Tan looked at me. "Lead the way." We went down to the B2 floor together. Tran Nghien Chu's car was parked at the end of area A. The black car body was polished and polished. Next to the front of the car was the manager of the building, his face pale as if he had just applied a layer of chalk. "Comrade police, we just checked the camera, Mr. Tran's car has been parked here since eleven o'clock at night, no one touched it in the middle of it." Captain Tan told the technician to unlock it. I stood three meters away. The moment the trunk popped up, my heart suddenly sank. Inside is empty. There was only a folding umbrella, a first aid box in the car and Tran Nghien Chu's usual cashmere blanket. Bloodless. There is no body. There wasn't anything suspicious. The house manager breathed a sigh of relief and immediately looked at me. Those eyes were like looking at a crazy person. Captain Tan did not rush to conclusions. He asked someone to open the car door, check the back seats, seat slots, footrests and spare tire cavity. All is clean. Extremely clean. A young police officer frowned: “Captain Qin, the car smells like disinfectant

identical.” The property manager immediately explained: "Mr. Tran has cleanliness disease, the car is thoroughly cleaned twice a week." Hearing that, I just wanted to laugh. Tran Nghien Chu has cleanliness disease? When he comes home, he can throw his coat on the sofa, stuff his socks under the bed, and I scold him for three years and still not fix it. Clean your car thoroughly twice a week? Nonsense. I was just about to speak when a shrill female voice rang out from the elevator. "Co Nam Chi!" My mother-in-law, Ha Tu Lan, ran out wearing pajamas, behind were Tran Nghien Chu's younger brother, Tran Bac Hoai, and Tran Nghien Chu's secretary, Manh Van Ninh. As soon as she saw the police, Ha Tu Lan's face immediately changed. "What are you crazy in the middle of the night?" "Nguyen Chu was at peace, but you reported him to the police as a murderer!" Tran Bac Hoai supported her, his eyes dark and cold. "Sister-in-law, normally my brother always gives in to you, you can't trample him like that." Manh Van Ninh wore a white sweater, his eyes were red. hoe. "Miss Co, I know General Manager Tran has been busy lately so he has been cold towards you." "But making a fuss about this in front of the police will really ruin him." I looked at the three of them. It was really crowded. Three o'clock in the morning. The call had just ended, the police had just arrived, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, female secretary, not a single person was missing. The string in my heart grew tighter and tighter. Captain Tan asked: "Where is Tran Nghien Chu?" Ha Tu Lan immediately replied: "Meeting at the company." Tran Bac Hoai continued: "That's right, Thanh Chu Cold Storage has an urgent order tonight. My brother is busy.” Captain Tan stared at him. "Since you're at the company, why did you call your wife to get out and move the car?" Tran Bac Hoai paused. Manh Van Ninh quickly said: "Maybe the management urged him, he doesn't have time to come here." I laughed. "Manager, have you called him yet?" The manager's forehead was beaded with sweat. "No, I'm sleeping." Just when the police car arrived, I received a phone call from the security guard." The atmosphere immediately froze. Ha Tu Lan glared at him fiercely. "You're just the manager of the building, so what do you know? What if another homeowner complains?" Captain Tan ignored her and took out his phone. "Call Tran Nghien Chu." Tran Bac Hoai immediately called. The phone rang two times and was connected. Tran Nghien Chu's face appeared on the screen. He sat in the office, white shirt, black tie, cold eyes. "Mom, what's wrong?" Ha Tu Lan immediately burst into tears. "Nien Chu! Nam Chi reported to the police that she killed people! Please explain to the police quickly!"Tran Nghien Chu in the video frowned and looked towards the camera. "Co Nam Chi, what are you doing again?"The blood in my body immediately turned cold all the way to my feet. This face. This voice. Everything was right. But I just wanted to vomit.2 Captain Tan took the phone. "Tran Nghien Chu?"The person in the video nodded. "It's me.""Where are you now?""Thanh Cold Storage Headquarters. Chu." "You called Co Nam Chi just now, telling her to go downstairs and move the car?" "Yes." He answered too quickly. Fast as if he were reciting. Captain Tan continued to ask: "Your car is parked on the B2 floor of Van Lan Cong Quan, you are at the headquarters, how do you know the car is blocking the road?" Tran Nghien Chu in the video paused. "The management board called me." Captain Tan turned his head to look at the house manager. The house manager repeatedly waved his hand. "I didn't call, I really didn't call." Ha Tu Lan was impatient. "You police, don't let Co Nam Chi lead you by the nose! Husband and wife quarrel, which house doesn't have trifles? He just wants to make Nghien Chu lose face!" Manh Van Ninh looked at me with red eyes. "Sister Co, General Director Tran is under great pressure at this time." "If you really love him, don't force him anymore." I took a step forward, staring at the man in the screen.

picture. “Tran Nghien Chu.” He looked at me. The eyes are very pale. I said: "You hold the phone out to the window." He frowned: "Co Nam Chi, what else do you want to do?" "Go to the window." My voice was very quiet. "Let me look at the sky outside the company." The other end of the video was silent. Two seconds. Three seconds. The image suddenly stopped. Immediately after that, the call was disconnected. Tran Bac Hoai immediately shouted loudly: "Are you taking advantage of the company's poor signal? Co Nam Chi, if your brain is sick, go to the hospital!" Captain Tan raised his eyes. "Try saying one more sentence." Tran Bac Hoai shut his mouth. I looked at the dark screen and my heart sank even further. Thanh Chu Cold Storage headquarters is on the fifteenth floor, the entire floor is floor-to-ceiling glass doors, the signal is always full of bars. Every time Tran Nghien Chu makes a video call to me at the company, I can see even the coffee foam floating on his desk clearly. In the last video, the background was too stable. Stable like a photo taped to your back. Captain Tan told the technician to continue checking the vehicle. The sniffer dog also arrived. The trunk, the backseat, the drainage ditch in the underground parking lot, every inch was sniffed. No results. Lumol spray technician. The lights are turned off. The underground parking lot is in darkness. I held my breath. No blue light. No blood stains. Nothing. Ha Tu Lan laughed coldly. "See?" "Comrade police, can you take him away this time?" "At three o'clock in the morning, slandering my husband as a murderer, I still feel afraid of this kind of woman in my house." Manh Van Ninh said in a low voice: "Auntie, maybe Ms. Co just loves General Manager Tran too much.” This saying is dirtier than a knife. I raised my head to look at her. "Manh Van Ninh, the relationship between you and my husband is so good that you still go to the parking lot with my mother-in-law at three o'clock in the morning?" Her face was pale. "Sister Co, you misunderstood. I am General Director Tran's secretary, if something happens to the company, of course I have to come." "Something happened to the company?" I immediately caught her words. "The place I reported the case is Van Lan Cong Quan, who told you?" Something happened to the company?” Manh Van Ninh's lips trembled. Tran Bac Hoai immediately stood in front of her. "She accidentally bit her and you didn't let her go? Your mouth is really poisonous." I was too lazy to pay attention to him. I looked at Captain Tan. "If there is no parking lot, go to Thanh Chu Cold Storage." Captain Tan did not immediately agree. "Reason." I said: "First, there is a problem with the background in Tran Nghien Chu's video." "Second, he said the management urged him to move the car, but the management never contacted him." "Third, before the video was interrupted, there was a warning sound of three short sounds, one long sound." Captain Tan's eyes moved slightly. "Scene sound." What news?” I turned my head to look at Tran Bac Hoai. His face was tense. I said every word clearly: "Temperature control warning sound of warehouse number seven of Thanh Chu Cold Storage." Ha Tu Lan immediately shouted: "You're talking nonsense!" Tran Bac Hoai also panicked. "The warehouse number seven is currently under maintenance, what's so strange about a few beeps?" "I said three short sounds, one long sound." I stared at him. "The maintenance warning is a long continuous sound, only when the temperature in the warehouse is abnormal will it sound three short sounds, one long sound." "Tran Bac Hoai, your brother's company's warning rules don't even know it, yet you dare to lie for him?" Blue veins on Tran Bac's neck Hoai jumped up. Manh Van Ninh tightened his shirt. Captain Tan saw everything. He turned around and ordered. "Go to Thanh Chu Cold Storage headquarters." Ha Tu Lan rushed to stop. "Don't go! Do you have a search warrant? Inside are all customers' goods, if you open the warehouse arbitrarily and cause damage, who will compensate?" I raised my hand and pointed at myself.
