Chapter 235: It's not him
Yu Man glanced at Sheng Tianche cautiously and said, "Miss Gu is delicate, acts steadily, and won't talk nonsense. ”
He returned the album to Yu Man, and only said, "I'll go to the photo studio tomorrow to help me wash it again." ”
Yu Man obediently responded, and she breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Sheng Tianche walk back to the living room.
Fortunately, Mr. Tianche didn't embarrass her because of the photo.
In the living room, Sheng Tianche walked up to Gu Qiongyi and sat down.
"If my mom was a suspect, it would be more difficult to find," he said. Because I've been looking for her all these years, but I haven't heard from her. ”
Gu Qiongyi nodded.
Seeing that Gu Qiongyi didn't speak, Sheng Tianche asked, "You don't think I deliberately didn't give you clues, right?" ”
Gu Qiongyi shook her head: "No." I know you haven't been able to find your mother. ”
"You seem to be unhappy." Sheng Tianche's gaze fell on Gu Qiongyi's face, looking at the change in her expression.
Gu Qiongyi thought for a moment and said slowly: "I just don't know if I should continue to investigate." ”
She was afraid that if the truth of the final truth really pointed to Sheng Tianche's mother, would she treat it as if it hadn't happened? Or is she going to send her husband's mom to jail?
"Why don't you check?" Sheng Tianche was a little puzzled.
Gu Qiongyi raised her eyes to look at Sheng Tianche, and said in her heart, does he really not understand, or is he pretending to be stupid?
Sheng Tianche saw that Gu Qiongyi was silent, and he seemed to understand.
asked: "Are you going to give up the investigation just because she's my mother?" ”
Gu Qiongyi gave him a blank look. Isn't this reason enough?
Sheng Tianche said: "I also want to know the truth of the matter. ”
Gu Qiongyi looked at him, exploring the truth of his words.
This is not a trivial matter, usually Sheng Tianche can spoil her and follow her in everything, but Gu Qiongyi knows that Sheng Tianche has missed her mother all these years.
Sheng Tianche saw that Gu Qiongyi had a trace of doubt in his eyes, and he explained: "I believe that my mother will not do such a thing, and I don't want to affect the relationship between the two of us because of her affairs." Therefore, this matter must not only be investigated, but also investigated clearly. ”
Listening to Sheng Tianche's words, Gu Qiongyi was still silent.
Sheng Tianche had been separated from his mother for twenty years, and his memory of her was still stuck when she was five years old. After so many years, how could Sheng Tianche guarantee that his mother would not do such a thing?
It's just that now, Gu Qiongyi has not been entangled anymore.
Sheng Tianche has a saying that is quite right, and now this matter involves Sheng Tianche's mother, and it really needs to be investigated clearly.
It's just that Sheng Tianche's mother has not been heard from for several years, and there is no way to continue to move forward with this clue.
She could only go in one direction.
Sheng Tianche was silent for a moment, turned his head to look at Gu Qiongyi, and asked, "What else do you know about my mother, who is your family's maid?" ”
"Uncle Yong said that your mother wanted to borrow money from my mother that night because her husband owed a lot of money for gambling."
Seeing that Sheng Tianche's expression was not very good, Gu Qiongyi did not continue.
Sheng Tianche needs time to accept this matter.
And Gu Qiongyi must also find new clues as soon as possible.
The mystery man is her go-to entry point.
The next day, Gu Qiongyi asked Mu Yan to come out to talk.
In a café, Gu Qiongyi and Mu Yan sat opposite each other, and the two of them ordered the same espresso, but neither of them drank it.
The two looked at each other for a while, Mu Yan retracted his gaze, stirred the coffee in the cup, and asked, "Call me out today, what's the matter?" ”
"Remember the last time we met, the mystery game I told you about?" Gu Qiongyi asked.
Mu Yan nodded.
Gu Qiongyi said again: "That's not a reasoning game, but a real case." ”
Mu Yan was a little surprised at first, but then he understood, and he asked, "Are you talking about the unexpected fire that your parents experienced five years ago?" ”
"The fire was not an accident, I want to find out the real culprit." After Gu Qiongyi finished speaking, she asked Mu Yan: "Do you think this matter will have anything to do with Qin Zhiying?" ”
"Why did it suddenly happen to her?" Mu Yan was a little curious.
Gu Qiongyi thought for a moment and slowly spoke: "Qin Zhiying had a quarrel with me because of Gong Lingyuan's incident back then. In the end, he still couldn't get Gong Lingyuan. In a fit of rage, she tried to burn my whole family. Do you think this motivation can be valid? ”
"It's a bit of an exaggeration. Even if Zhiying is really angry with you, there is no need to kill your family. I think it's because you're thinking too much, and she shouldn't have anything to do with it. Mu Yan sounded like he was saying good things for Qin Zhiying.
Gu Qiongyi nodded and said, "That's probably because I'm thinking too much." I haven't been able to find evidence and clues, and I'm also a bit broken now. I don't even know what I'm going to do if I go on like this. ”
Mu Yan looked at Gu Qiongyi inquiringly and asked, "Yiyi, who did you hear that the fire five years ago was man-made?" Could it be someone's prank? ”
"It was told to me by someone I trusted, it couldn't have been a prank." Gu Qiongyi's attitude was firm.
Mu Yan said again: "It's been five years, what evidence can be found now?" There is no evidence, and what they say is not necessarily true. ”
"I'm not going to let my parents die so unexplained." Gu Qiongyi insisted, she looked at Mu Yan, and said, "Moreover, I have heard that this matter has something to do with Qin Zhiying. Can you help me investigate her? ”
Mu Yan hesitated.
"If you find it too difficult, forget it." Gu Qiongyi spoke at the right time.
Mu Yan was a little apologetic: "Actually, I'm with her now." ”
Gu Qiongyi was surprised at first, after all, Mu Yan was not the kind of man who was very rich.
But then, Gu Qiongyi thought of a key question.
Qin Zhiying likes to seize other people's handles to extort, while Mu Yan is a private detective and has a unique advantage in finding evidence.
I have to say that Qin Zhiying is really willing to cultivate potential stocks.
Mu Yan himself really has no money, but the value he can create for Qin Zhiying is immeasurable.
Seeing this, Gu Qiongyi didn't say anything more.
She just reminded Mu Yan: "You are an employee of the legal department, you should know that there are some things that cannot be touched." Don't play with fire for the sake of an unworthy woman*. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Qiongyi got up from the table and walked away.
Through the chat just now, Gu Qiongyi was almost certain that Mu Yan and the mysterious man were not the same person.
Because, the mysterious person asked Gu Qiongyi to investigate Qin Zhiying before. But Mu Yan's attitude just now obviously didn't want Gu Qiongyi to target Qin Zhiying.
But who else could there be?
As soon as Gu Qiongyi came downstairs, she saw a woman wearing an off-white long sweater skirt walking over.
That person was none other than Mu Yan's current girlfriend, Qin Zhiying.
