Chapter 49: Seeing Gu Yun Again (3)

In the spacious dining hall of the small farmhouse courtyard, a group of people stood.

Dan Yulan bowed slightly to the host and said: "Madam Yang, it's so late, please forgive me for the presumptuous visit."

The woman returned the salute slightly, with thin water mist in her eyes, and replied softly: "What are you saying, Official? This woman only asks the official to investigate and handle the case as soon as possible, bring the thief to justice, and return justice to my husband."

Staring at the traces left by the flying dagger on the wall, with her back to the Madam, Gu Yun said: "Can you say the ins and outs of the matter again?"

The Madam turned her head and looked at the little girl who had been strangely looking left and right as soon as she entered the room. She didn't understand what she wanted to do, but the official didn't stop her either. Although the Madam felt a bit strange in her heart, she still replied truthfully: "My health is not good, and my husband said he wanted to cook and prepare for me. Yesterday afternoon, my husband and I went to the Wanli Money House to exchange banknotes. When we went out, we were almost knocked down by a careless person. My husband is a hot-tempered person, so he started arguing with that person, and they started pushing and shoving each other. I was afraid they would fight, so I persuaded my husband to leave. I thought the matter had passed. Who knew that in the evening, my husband's friend Li Zhi came to the house for dinner? Just as the bowls and chopsticks were set, that person suddenly appeared. After only a few words, they started fighting. Neither my husband nor Li Zhi was his match. I was terrified at the time, so I ran out to call for help. I just happened to meet two big brothers, Huang Yi and Wang Wei, who were also guards of the General's Mansion. When the three of us ran back, we saw my husband fall down!"

Squatting on the ground in the middle of the dining hall, not knowing what she was looking at, Gu Yun didn't raise her head and asked: "Is there an interrogation record for those three people?"

Interrogation record? Guessing her meaning, Dan Yulan replied: "The testimonies of the three have already been fingerprinted, and they are consistent with what Madam Yang said."

Slowly raising her head, Gu Yun looked at the Madam and asked inadvertently: "Was the deceased lying here at the time?"

The Madam was stunned and nodded: "Yes."

Dan Yulan's face tightened, and Lou Xiyan's fine eyes lifted. This woman was not simple. The bloodstains on the ground had already been cleaned up, and there were flying daggers everywhere on the walls and floor of the dining hall, as well as traces left by the deceased when he was waving his sword. How did she accurately state the position of the deceased's death within less than a quarter of an hour of entering the room?

Everyone stared tightly at Gu Yun, only to see her finally stand up and say loudly: "I feel—so hungry!"

What?!

Hungry?!

The group of people who were anxious to hear her explanation suddenly had their faces twitching.

Zhuo Qing simply laughed out loud.

Stretching her waist, Gu Yun walked to Su Yu and asked as if nothing had happened: "Didn't you say there was a small shop with very delicious noodles? Is it still open?"

Su Yu was also a bit bewildered and replied: "Uh... it should be."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Regardless of the countless eyes staring at her from behind, Gu Yun grabbed Su Yu's sleeve and dragged him out. After walking a few steps, she suddenly turned her head and smiled at Lou Xiyan: "Xiyan, do you want to go eat noodles with us?"

Zhuo Qing's head was covered in black lines. Xiyan? She really dared to call him that.

Lou Xiyan smiled lightly and replied: "Alright."

Gu Yun and Su Yu walked in front, while Lou Xiyan and Zhuo Qing walked behind. The four of them wandered away like this, leaving only the dark-faced Dan Yulan and the bewildered Madam Yang behind.

Walking leisurely in the night breeze of early summer, watching the two walking fast in front, Lou Xiyan looked at Zhuo Qing beside him and smiled: "Your sister is very interesting. She seems to have a lot of insights into investigating cases."

How to answer this?! Feigning bewilderment, she looked at the sky, Zhuo Qing laughed dryly twice and replied: "Hehe, not sure, I lost my memory, remember?"

What a memory loss.

It was near midnight, the moon was on the treetops, and there were no people walking in the quiet alley. The shops on both sides of the alley had closed their doors early, and only a small noodle shop revealed candlelight.

"Boss, another bowl."

The petite woman held a large bowl of noodles in her hand, shouting vaguely.

On the table, a gold ingot shone with dazzling light. He couldn't earn so much money even if he worked for a year. The boss, who was over sixty, nodded repeatedly, his hands not idle, busy cooking noodles.

Gu Yun put down the empty bowl, took the noodles sent by the boss, and ate heartily without regard for her table manners.

Su Yu looked at the three large bowls stacked together in front of her and mocked: "Are you a pig?!" He had never seen a woman eat so much, and with such ugly table manners! Looking at her thin, bean-sprout-like figure, Su Yu was very puzzled. Where did she eat it all? Why didn't she gain any weight?

Gu Yun raised her head slightly, glanced at him sideways, and left a disdainful sentence: "Are you a chicken?" A big man, eating so little!

This sentence was enough to ignite Su Yu, who was already hot-tempered. He slammed the table and shouted: "Boss, ten bowls!" Just kidding, could he not eat as much as her!

The boss was stunned, didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly cooked noodles, secretly sighing that youth was great, eating so much so late!

Zhuo Qing supported her chin impatiently and said lazily: "How about you two eat slowly, I'll go back and get a beauty sleep first."

Looking at the empty bowls and plates on the table, Zhuo Qing only had one feeling in her heart—two gluttons!

Gu Yun didn't raise her head, and replied: "You can go, Xiyan can't."

Xiyan, Xiyan, she really was addicted to calling him that. Zhuo Qing didn't rush to ask why. Lou Xiyan sat gracefully on the side, but someone couldn't sit still: "Why not?"

"I'm going to see Qian Jing in a moment." Gu Yun finished the last sip of soup and touched her stomach contentedly. Finally full, it really wouldn't do not to eat for two days!

Su Yu heard her words, his brows twisted together: "Didn't we just see him?! And what does you going to see Qian Jing have to do with him not being able to leave?"

Gu Yun was too lazy to bother with him, but Lou Xiyan had already understood, and called out in a low voice: "Mo Bai."

Mo Bai's tall figure immediately appeared outside the small shop. Gu Yun exclaimed, this person's skills were so fast! She hadn't even felt his aura just now!

Lou Xiyan gave a few low instructions, and Mo Bai nodded lightly and pushed out.

Su Yu thought for a long time and finally understood that Gu Yun meant she wanted Lou Xiyan to take her into the prison. He roared with dissatisfaction: "I can take you in too! It's just a Ministry of Justice prison!"

"How do you want to take me in? By having another argument like just now or by knocking out the guards and breaking in? If I wanted to go in like that, I wouldn't need you!" She wanted to go in without anyone knowing. Forget it, talking to this idiot would tire her to death!

Su Yu curled his lips. Anyway, the result was the same, as long as they could get in, right?

"He didn't tell the truth just now. Are you sure he will tell you the truth in a moment?" Lou Xiyan was more interested in this point. This girl gave him too many amazing experiences tonight, and it was also the first time he knew that a girl could eat so much!

The bowls were piled up, and Su Yu's palm just now splashed soup everywhere, and the table could be said to be a mess. Lou Xiyan was still so leisurely, as if no matter what kind of environment he was in or what kind of things he encountered, he could deal with them elegantly. Gu Yun sighed inwardly, Qing had picked up a treasure this time!

Looking at Zhuo Qing, who had been waiting somewhat impatiently, Gu Yun smiled: "Full, let's go."

Just at this time, the boss brought ten bowls of noodles. Gu Yun glanced at Su Yu and smiled lightly: "You eat slowly, little chicken." After speaking, she stepped out of the small shop gracefully. Zhuo Qing looked sympathetically at Su Yu, who was still stunned there, and followed with a low laugh. Yun's mouth was still as poisonous as ever!

Lou Xiyan coughed lightly, suppressed the laughter in his throat, bowed slightly to Su Yu, and went out of the shop.

The boss looked blankly at the young man whose face was getting smellier and smellier.

"Qing Mo, who the hell are you calling a little chicken!" Only a roar was heard, and his figure had already flashed out of the house. The boss looked distressedly at the ten bowls of noodles that were still steaming in his hands. What should he do?

Arriving at the prison again, Gu Yun discovered that the original gatekeeper generals had been replaced. The four stood straight, looking ahead, as if they couldn't see the four of them at all.

Gu Yun whispered to Su Yu, who was indignant all the way: "You wait at the door."

"Why?" With anger in his heart, Su Ling replied with a very harsh tone.

"The fewer people who go in, the better. Or do you want tonight's questioning to fail again?" Gu Yun explained with rare kindness. Although Su Yu was still unwilling, he didn't persist.

By comparison, Lou Xiyan was much more sensible, smiling lightly and replying: "Since that's the case, I won't go in either."

"Go." Gu Yun nodded with satisfaction, pulled Zhuo Qing, and the two walked into the prison.

After entering, Gu Yun keenly discovered that when they came for the first time, there was a guard every ten meters or so, but now they were nowhere to be seen, which made it more convenient for the questioning later. Arriving in front of Qian Jing's cell door, the lock was actually open. Gu Yun had to admire that Lou Xiyan was truly a cautious and proper person.

For the reappearance of Zhuo Qing and Gu Yun, Qian Jing didn't show much surprise, and the sloppiness from last time was gone from his face. Qian Jing asked in a deep voice: "What else do you want to ask?"

"How did you know the deceased, why did you follow him, and why did you fight?"

Glancing at Gu Yun, Qian Jing's face once again raised a rogue smile, and he replied: "I've already said these things just now, is there anything fresher?"

Leaning casually against the stone wall, Gu Yun replied coldly: "You can say those perfunctory words again, but they are of no use to your case. The witness testimony and on-site physical evidence are very unfavorable to you. If you don't tell the truth, it will be difficult for us to help you, and your only result is waiting for death."

Qian Jing was silent. Gu Yun narrowed her eyes, stared at him for a while, and said: "You don't trust the government, are you waiting for someone to help you overturn the case?" When she said the words waiting for death, a flash of mockery and indifference flashed on his face, very faint, but she saw it.

Qian Jing was startled, his whole body almost jumped up, his phoenix eyes staring dead at this unbelievably young woman, asking: "Who are you?" She could actually guess his thoughts!

Gu Yun let him look, smiled, and didn't answer.

The two stared at each other like this, neither speaking. Zhuo Qing didn't speak either, until Qian Jing couldn't stand it and looked at her, asking: "Who exactly is she?!"

"She is my sister, Qing Mo." Qian Jing seemed to have great hostility toward Gu Yun. Zhuo Qing understood that no one liked being seen through. Stepping forward to Qian Jing's side, Zhuo Qing said frankly: "Qian Jing, I believe you didn't kill anyone. I have already seen some clues on the deceased's body, but it is not enough to prove your innocence. We want to help you, and we have the ability to help you. If you trust us, then please tell the truth. If you are unwilling to trust us, we will leave immediately."

None of the three spoke. The cell was so quiet that one could almost hear everyone's breathing. Zhuo Qing waited for a while. Qian Jing lowered his head slightly, still without any indication. Zhuo Qing looked at Gu Yun, Gu Yun winked at her, and Zhuo Qing understood. Qian Jing was already struggling inside. Deliberately sighing low, Zhuo Qing said dejectedly: "Alright, you are unwilling to trust me, and I have no way. But I will not give up. I will definitely find a way to help you clear your name."

After speaking, Zhuo Qing turned around and said to Gu Yun: "Let's go."

The helpless sigh sounded truly heartbreaking. Gu Yun laughed inwardly, this woman's acting was getting better and better. Cooperating with her to walk out of the cell door, just as her foot crossed the door, Qian Jing's low voice sounded as expected: "Wait."

Success!

The two exchanged a cunning look, but when they turned back to face Qian Jing, the expression was absolutely sincere!
