Chapter 42: Secret Investigation
"The food is going to be cold, let's eat quickly." Ning Sichen diverted the topic.
Shu Qingyue didn't get to the bottom of a problem, she put a few vegetables into her bowl and ate seriously, but she still looked at Ning Sichen from time to time, for some reason, she liked to look at him, his eyebrows, his eyes, his nose, and his lips. Ning Sichen would occasionally look back at her, and after the eyes of the two touched slightly, they moved away from each other, and that feeling was very subtle.
After eating, the maid put away the dishes and chopsticks. Ning Sichen said to Shu Qingyue, "Rest early", and left together.
Shu Qingyue watched Ning Sichen's distant back disappear outside the door, the color of her eyes gradually deepened, if it weren't for the battle between Chu Huiguo and Pingshun Kingdom, there would be no blood debt entanglement between her and him, let alone secretly beware of suspicion, how good it would be!
War, ruined too many people.
The sky gradually darkened and deepened.
On this day, Shu Qingyue went to bed early.
It was after the light in Shu Qingyue's room went dark, Ning Sichen walked out of his room.
He went out of the East Garden, went in the direction of the west, and made a few detours in the mansion until he came to the Wind and Rain Pavilion by the pool. Ning Sichen walked into the pavilion and stood facing the direction of the pond.
It didn't take long for another person to walk into the pavilion, and by the moonlight, he could see the appearance of the person who came, it was Yang Chengying.
"How's the investigation about Shu Qingyue?" Ning Sichen asked.
Shu Qingyue first appeared in Pudong Lane, it was the eighth day of October, and she went to Tongzhou Casino, Tianle Casino, Jiuhe Casino, Xingsheng Casino, Hongda Casino, and finally Ruyi Casino. I have been to all the gambling houses, Shu Qingyue went to the gambling houses, only bet on the size, every bet must win. It's also strange to say that who can calculate the number of dice accurately, but she has been able to win, it is incredible, but no one can see what tricks she has used. Yang Chengying said.
Ning Sichen pondered deeply, as Yang Chengying said, Shu Qingyue can win every time, it is definitely not a simple coincidence, he doesn't believe that a person's luck can be so good that Cheng Dรน, what method did she use?
"Marshal, I've heard before that there is a stunt on the rivers and lakes that listens to the sound and distinguishes the number of dice, I don't know, does Shu Qingyue use this?" Although Yang Chengying also felt that it was unlikely, he still said.
Listen to the sound and tell the dice? Shu Qingyue?
"What else did you find?" Ning Sichen asked again.
"On the night when Shu Qingyue left Tianle Casino, the owner sent someone to follow her secretly, wanting to get back all the silver she won, but the people who went there were no returns, and the situation on the side of Xingsheng Gambling House was similar, and the people who sent out never came back. It can be inferred that someone should be protecting her in the shadows. Yang Chengying said.
"Is it Yue Rongfei?" Ning Sichen probably guessed who it was.
After Shu Qingyue disappeared, Yue Rongfei said that he was going to look for her, so he left Shu's mansion, and for a period of time, he also had no news. Until a few days ago, the day after Shu Qingyue came to Ning Mansion, Yue Rong flew back to Shu Mansion. At this time, it came a bit by chance. Yang Chengying said.
"What's going on in Shufu?" Ning Sichen asked.
"It's calm." Yang Chengying replied.
Peaceful? Shu Shengxuan's only daughter hasn't been found yet, how can Shu Mansion be calm? This doesn't make sense. Unless, the people of Shu Mansion know where Shu Qingyue is.
Based on what Yang Chengying said, Ning Sichen tried to restore Shu Qingyue's disappearance.
A month ago, Shu Qingyue didn't disappear without explaining anything, at least, Yue Rongfei knew her whereabouts. But Yue Rongfei didn't say anything, and left Shu Mansion on the pretext of looking for Shu Qingyue. After that, Shu Qingyue went to Pudong Lane and appeared in the major gambling houses, while Yue Rongfei was secretly protecting her. It wasn't until Ning Sichen brought her back to Ning Mansion that Yue Rongfei returned to Shu Mansion.
This is how the whole process of events should be.
But Shu Qingyue and Yue Rongfei took great pains to stage such a play, for what?
Shu Qingyue went to the gambling house, not by accident, but with other plans?
