Si Qiongzhi stood under the tree and held up an umbrella.

The women passing by, all with wheat-colored skin, looked at Si Qiongzhi curiously, as if they didn't understand Si Qiongzhi's behavior.

Si Qiongzhi embarrassedly put away the umbrella.

She's more afraid of the sun.

She is not like her sister-in-law. Her sister-in-law will peel off her skin as soon as she gets sunned, and then it will be red, and she will recover after a long time, and she will not tan.

She's afraid of the dark.

Even after being in Nanyang for so long, Si Qiongzhi still can't understand Nanyang women's standards for beautiful skin.

They advocate health, and the sunshine is abundant all year round, which makes them very energetic to look at. Young, beautiful and energetic, they are their new fashion.

They love sports, swimming, playing ball, horseback riding, they love that.

"Qiongzhi?" When she wanted to get into trouble, Gu Qingzhou's car stopped in front of her.

got into the car, Gu Qingzhou also asked her: "You are sweaty, why don't you hold an umbrella?" ”

Si Qiongzhi: ""

It's hard to explain.

She changed the subject and asked about today's events, and the morning had passed, and there was any other news.

Gu Qingzhou told Si Qiongzhi about the words of the White Guard Division.

Si Qiongzhi was slightly stunned: "I want you to be an official?" Or is it this kind of petty official who does not enter the department? ”

"He has his own plans." Gu Qingzhou said with a smile, "With the frequent wars in the past two years, many people have gone out, and there are gradually more wealthy Chinese businessmen in Singapore.

These wealthy people can provide more industry for Singapore, and the colonial governor's palace is welcome, but it is more troublesome to control it.

What Chief Bai means is that our family has a high reputation in the country, and your eldest brother's future is uncertain, so he will take me to the town house first, at least for the time being, and handle the affairs of the Pei family properly. ”

Si Qiongzhi was a little worried: "Did I get into trouble?" ”

"Nope." Gu Qingzhou said, "Chief Bai also said that you and Hu Qiao'er were separated and went home separately, and there are witnesses." ”

Si Qiongzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

She doesn't ask anything anymore.

When the car arrived at Pei's house, as soon as they entered the door, they heard the sound of howling and crying.

It's a young man.

"I went to Malacca, and she became like this when I came back, what should I do?" The man cried bitterly.

This is Hu Qiao'er's husband Pei Jie.

Hu Qiaoer and Pei Jie are a young couple, both of them are only twenty-five or sixteen years old, they have been married for four years, they have no heirs, and their relationship is very stable.

The husband went out on a trip, and when he came back, his wife was stabbed to death, how can he not be heartbroken?

Some people persuaded him to mourn, and some people said that they were thinking about their grandmother, so as not to make the old people sad.

Gu Qingzhou and Si Qiongzhi were brought in by the servants, and there were already other relatives and friends in the middle hall, all of whom had received the news and came to visit.

"Don't cry, I'll give your daughter-in-law justice." The old lady said.

Someone next to him helped him up.

One after another, there are always guests coming in.

Gu Qingzhou and Si Qiongzhi sat in the first place, comforted a few words, and told the old lady to ask her to mourn.

The third master of the Pei family said, "Mrs. Si, we handed over this matter to the Department of Guards." I listened to what Chief Bai meant, they want to ask you to be the deputy security department, just to give our family an explanation as soon as possible, right? ”

Everyone looked at it.

Gu Qingzhou said: "Chief Bai came to me in the morning, and he did say so, but I haven't agreed yet. I've never held a key position, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well."

The third master of the Pei family said: "We don't have a deep relationship with the Department of Guards, so we don't trust them very much. You are close friends with our family, and I also ask Mrs. Si to help you give an explanation as soon as possible to appease the undead. ”

The old lady of the Pei family said: "Don't persecute Mrs. Si, Qiao'er's grievances can always be explained clearly." ”

The others looked at Gu Qingzhou one after another.

Gu Qingzhou glanced at the third master.

Hu Qiao'er is the young grandmother of the second room, and it has nothing to do with the third room, and I heard that the Pei family is also making trouble to split up, and everyone is not in unison.

The third master pointed out this matter in public, as if Gu Qingzhou deliberately did not help them.

Why?

Gu Qingzhou always felt that there was a hand in the dark, stirring among them.

She thought of all the possibilities, but she could only think of something to do with Si Xingpei's politics, and she didn't know anything else.

"Old lady, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. If the Pei family trusts me, and Chief Bai also trusts me, I will consider it. Gu Qingzhou showed her attitude.

The old lady of the Pei family, only if she came to the door on purpose to inquire about it: she intervened and came in, does the Pei family mind?

So, the old lady who practiced Da showed her attitude: "The Pei family trusts Mrs. Si, and I ask you to take care of this matter." ”

This is a misunderstanding.

The old lady thought that she wanted to be an official, but she was afraid that their family would think that she was taking advantage of the Pei family's misfortune to ascend to the throne, so she deliberately came to confess first; In the eyes of others, it was the Pei family and Chief Bai who asked her to find an explanation for Hu Qiao'er's death.

The third master inserted this foot in the middle, which really had an excellent effect.

Gu Qingzhou looked at him again.

He didn't look at Gu Qingzhou, but just sat silently.

The children of the Pei family are all there, and the room is full of people.

When Gu Qingzhou and Si Qiongzhi got up to say goodbye, the eldest wife of the Pei family suddenly pushed her son Pei Cheng: "Ah Cheng, you send Mrs. Si and Miss Si." ”

Pei Cheng stood up expressionlessly: "Yes." ”

He was very restrained, and the embarrassment in the morning was no longer visible, but his attitude was cold.

He sent Gu Qingzhou and Si Qiongzhi to the gate, chatting with Gu Qingzhou along the way: "When are you going to start the investigation?" ”

"I don't know yet."

"I hope it will be sooner." Pei Cheng said, "Mrs. Si, if you coordinate this matter, I can talk to you." That day, I saw my second brother and sister, and I don't know if some details are useful or not. ”

Si Qiongzhi glanced at him.

Pei Cheng immediately felt her gaze and said, "Miss Si, don't worry, I didn't mean you." ”

Si Qiongzhi withdrew his gaze.

"However, Miss Si seems to be very weak-hearted." Pei Cheng said again, "I know that Miss Si won't kill people, because the four knives that stabbed in are very deep, and it takes a lot of strength to stab in and pull it out, which is not something that a thin girl like you can do."

The second brother and sister have no traces of struggle, indicating that the murderer is steady and accurate when he pierces in, and the strength is extremely strong, with a bone-eroding hatred, he should be a man. Miss Si has no personal enmity with her, as long as she is not blind, she will not suspect you, so there is no need to be so uneasy. ”

Si Qiongzhi: ""

This should be a comforting word, but it can come out of his mouth, cold and a little mocking, no matter how uncomfortable it sounds.

Si Qiongzhi didn't know how to answer for a while.

She remembered that this morning, Pei Cheng asked her to go to the office and closed the door, she originally wanted to ask her, but she didn't think about it and then made a big embarrassment, she got up to say goodbye, and didn't have time to ask anything.

She was choked by Pei Cheng's words, and she didn't know how to speak, and only after a while did she buzz: "Thank you." ”

Leaving from Pei's house and getting into the car, Gu Qingzhou asked Si Qiongzhi: "He is Pei Cheng, right?" ”

"That's him."

"That's the one," Gu Qingzhou pondered his words. Si Qiongzhi said: "Well, that's it." Sister-in-law, don't mention it again. ”
