Chapter 319. An old case from three years ago
After a hangover, after waking up the next day, Chu Yunfei felt like he had a splitting headache. Everything last night seemed to be a fragment, he only knew that he had drunk a lot of wine with Mei Yingxue, and Mei Yingxue, who had always been restrained in drinking, was also drunk. Thinking of this, the corners of Chu Yunfei's mouth couldn't help but rise, and the only memory he had made him want to laugh: I don't know who he and Mei Yingxue pulled the topic to the woman, and then heard the name from Mei Yingxue's mouth: Shuyu. Yes, this is a rare mention of this name by Mei Yingxue. She's an enigmatic woman! Chu Yunfei has always only heard of his name, but has not seen his person. I only know that she is a woman that Mrs. Mei loves very much, and she has to live in Mei's house for a period of time every year. In recent years, Mrs. Mei has deliberately wanted her to be her granddaughter-in-law, and Feng Shuyu's family seems to have acquiesced. Although the Mei family has not yet sent someone to propose, it is only a matter of time or time. What's more, Shuyu and Mei Yingxue, although the two of them can't be called love at first sight, they have endless words every time they meet, and they can be said to be a rare couple. Now that it's spring again, I don't know if this year, will the Mei family invite Shuyu to live in the Mei family again? Listening to Mei Yingxue's tone, it seems that Mrs. Mei is already planning to be hired, so as to save a lot of dreams at night and some accidents. And Mei Yingxue has been looking forward to this day for a long time, right? He still remembers that when Mei Yingxue mentioned this name, she used beautiful words.
"Drink the ginger soup and sober up quickly." With a smile on her face, Hu Ji brought a bowl of hot soup and sent it to Chu Yunfei. "Everyone is in the front yard now, and you're alone. They can name you to see you. ”
Sure enough, it was only at this time that Chu Yunfei found that the room that had always been lively had become deserted. Did you oversleep yourself? He didn't answer, and drank the soup down. Only then did I hear Hu Ji smile and say, "Meixiang Xiaozhuli is a distinguished guest!" Originally, the Spring Festival plan woke you up, but it was stopped by that distinguished guest. Hurry up, they'll be waiting for you. ”
"Distinguished guests? Wait for me? "Chu Yunfei is a little strange, the people who come in and out of Meixiang Xiaozhu are Mei Yingxue and her good friends, will there be their own distinguished guests? He also wanted to ask Orchid, but he didn't expect Orchid to just smile and not answer, just urging him to hurry over.
Although Hu Ji sold Guan Zi in front of him, Chu Yunfei didn't think that the person who came would surprise him. When he arrived at the front yard a little absentmindedly, he found that everyone behaved strangely, even the laziest girl on weekdays seemed to be busy cleaning up the yard, but her eyes glanced at the flower hall in the front yard from time to time. What is it that makes everyone want to see it? What's even more strange is that the person who came actually made an exception to let the Mei brothers and sisters personally greet the guests.
It wasn't until he saw the woman with a gentle smile in her eyes, coupled with the unconcealable affection in Mei Yingxue's eyes, that Chu Yunfei suddenly realized: Feng Shuyu! is also Mei Yingxue's favorite woman. Just look at the smile on the corner of Mei Yingxue's mouth and Mei Yingchun's courteous appearance, you can know how likable she is. Chu Yunfei saluted her, "It's really rude for the distinguished guest to come." This is probably the legendary heart rhino, right? Yesterday, Yingxue mentioned you, but I didn't expect you to come. ”
"Really?" Shuyu's face was still the same gentle smile, but her cheeks turned crimson, she pretended to glance at Mei Yingxue casually, and continued: "Originally, I should have gone to greet the old lady first. But because it happened suddenly, that's why I am here, please ask Gongzi Chu and ...... Brother Mei and the two helped. ”
What would it be like to be able to let a lady show up? Chu Yunfei glanced at Mei Yingxue, only to see that he, who had always been soft, frowned slightly, looked at Chu Yunfei and sighed leisurely: "She has already told me before. This matter involves a case that happened three years ago, and it also involves an upstart in the DPRK and China with an immeasurable future, so she came to discuss with us, hoping that we can take a good look at it. ”
What can make Mei Yingxue so cautious must not be a trivial matter. However, is there anything that the Mei family can't do with it? What's more, the Feng family can also be called a prestigious family in the capital, and it is definitely not a trivial matter to let the eldest lady of the Feng family make such a big move. He glanced at Mei Yingxue and said repeatedly: "What is so serious?" Hurry up and say it......"
"As I said, as long as he makes a proposal, his blood will boil. Right? He is different from ordinary people, he likes to ask for trouble. Mei Yingchun smiled and said to Shuyu, "But, fortunately, you agreed, otherwise, the eldest brother really doesn't know who to trouble?" ”
Do you have a chance to say no? Just look at the smile on Mei Yingxue's face when she looked at Miss Feng, you can know that his whole heart has been captured. If I say the word "no", I'm afraid I won't want to enter Meixiang Xiaozhu again. He nodded with a smile, played his head, and said continuously: "Stick a knife in the ribs for a friend, this is the way it should be." Besides, I don't have much to do these days. Where would I refuse a case that comes to my door? ”
Mei Yingxue glanced at Feng Shuyu and saw her nodding, so she frowned and said, "Do you remember what happened in Zhouqiao three years ago today?" ”
Case? Three years ago today? Chu Yunfei's mind was spinning rapidly. After a long while, he frowned and said, "Oh, you're talking about the case from three years ago?" The woman who left a suicide note and threw herself into the river to die? I remember it wasn't a case, it was a suicide. It is said that after the woman was dismissed from her future husband's family, she threw herself into the water because she couldn't stand the blow and couldn't think about it for a while. I heard that she was the daughter of a wealthy businessman. ”
"yes, that's it." Shuyu nodded quickly, she frowned, looked at Mei Yingxue for a moment, and continued: "Actually, there were a lot of rumors at that time, saying that she didn't commit suicide. There are also rumors that on the night she threw herself into the water, someone saw a man beside her. However, the man thought it was just an ordinary lover meeting and didn't pay attention to it. Plus Miss Whelan at the time...... It was the deceased who left a suicide note, and no one pursued that matter. ”
"Do you want us to continue pursuing the case from three years ago?" Chu Yunfei was stunned for a moment, it was really a little troublesome now. He doesn't think there are any clues that can be found in the case of suicide three years ago.
Shuyu nodded, and shook her head again: "The purpose of my coming here is not actually for the dead Miss Whelan, but for my cousin, who seems to be in big trouble now." ”
