Gu Qinghan was dumbfounded and didn't speak.

Shen Zhizhi continued: "The gambling component of loving someone is too big, and it is impossible for people to remain unchanged for a lifetime, including myself. ”

"Indeed." Gu Qinghan nodded.

The old housekeeper lived in a small village on the outskirts of the city, about two hours by car.

At this time, the mobile phone on the central control rang.

Gu Qinghan took it, glanced at it, and looked at Shen Zhizhi, who was driving, "Ji Chi called." ”

Hearing this, Shen Zhizhi frowned slightly.

"Do you want to pick it up?" Gu Qinghan continued to ask.

Shen Zhizhi thought for a moment, "Pick it up." ”

Ji Chi is too smart, if he doesn't take it, he will definitely be suspicious.

"Zhizhi, I have something to do at noon, I may not be able to come back, what do you want to eat? I'll order you takeout or have someone at the front desk bring it to you. ”

The man's voice is magnetic and gentle.

Shen Zhezhi wore a Bluetooth headset, she said truthfully, "I'm not in the hotel, I found an attraction by myself, I'm going to go out to play, and I'm in the car now." ”

Ji Chi on the other end of the phone didn't doubt it, and continued to ask, "Are you alone?" ”

Shen Zhezhi, "No, I'm with Qing Han." ”

Ji Chi was relieved, "Okay, I'll pick you up when I'm done?" ”

"No, I rented a car with Qinghan." Shen Zhizhi spoke lightly.

Hearing the impatience in Shen Zhizhi's tone, Ji Chi Y smiled and said a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Gu Qinghan on the side looked at Shen Zhizhi and suddenly laughed, "I feel that your temper is much better than before." ”

Shen Zhizhi twisted his eyebrows, a little ununderstood, "Huh? ”

Gu Qinghan said truthfully, "If it was before, you would definitely hang up the phone directly, but now you have listened to Ji Chi's nonsense." ”

Shen Zhizhi: "......"

In fact, she had noticed a change in her attitude towards Ji Chi before.

She pursed her lips and changed the subject, "Has the project that the company invested in last month started to make a profit?" ”

Gu Qinghan knew that Shen Zhizhi had changed the topic, but she didn't want to answer, she didn't dismantle it, and said truthfully, "I haven't started to make a profit yet, and I may not make a profit until next month." ”

"You stare at this project, many pairs of eyes are staring." Shen Zhizhi drove with a calm face, and his gaze fell on the front.

Gu Qinghan responded, "I know." ”

The two talked all the way, and the time passed quickly, and at twelve o'clock at noon, the two arrived at the village that Xiao San said on time.

But the road in the village was too narrow for the car to enter, so Shen Zhizhi had to park the car at the entrance of the village.

"This is a rural area, there are so many houses, has Xiao San told you which one it is?"

Gu Qinghan got out of the car, walked to Shen Zhezhi's side, raised his hand to block the sun and said.

Shen Zhizhi glanced at his phone and shook his head, "I didn't say it, I just said this small village." ”

"That's a bit of a hassle to find." Gu Qinghan furrowed his brows.

Shen Zhizhi walked to the shade and shook his head, "It's not very difficult, that old housekeeper is in this village, everyone in the village knows each other, we just need to ask a random villager, we can ask." ”

"But now there's no one on the road."

Gu Qinghan said directly.

The path is depressed, and when you stand on the road and look into the courtyard, you can't even see a living thing, let alone a human figure.

The entertainment company under the Time Group lived in the countryside when there were artists, and Gu Qinghan had chatted with those artists before.

"I remembered that farmers seem to have the habit of taking a nap at noon, and now it's twelve o'clock at noon, which is just the time to take a nap after lunch."

Gu Qinghan said with a word.

Shen Zhizhi leaned against the wall, "Then let's take a look in the courtyard first." ”

In order to find clues to the fire that year, she waited too long.

Now I can't wait to find the evidence right away.

Gu Qinghan knew how difficult Shen Zhizhi had been over the years, so she didn't refute it, and followed Shen Zhizhi into the courtyard.

The villagers of the first family happened to be washing dishes in the kitchen, and Shen Zhizhi walked in and asked politely, "Hello, excuse me." ”

The peasant woman washing the dishes was startled by the sudden voice, she shuddered, and finally looked at Shen Zhizhi and Gu Qinghan vigilantly, "You are?" ”

The people in the village basically know each other, and suddenly two unfamiliar faces will naturally become vigilant.

Now there are a lot of traffickers and fraudsters.

Shen Zhizhi knew that he had been misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained, "Eldest sister, don't worry, my friend and I are here to ask you about someone, do you know him?" ”

As he spoke, Shen Zhizhi found a photo of the old housekeeper from his mobile phone, "His name is Cai Zhongji, and he used to be the housekeeper of our family, and I came to him to thank him." ”

The peasant woman glanced at the photo and frowned, "I know, but since he came back from Rongcheng, he seems to be a different person, crazy all day long, and everyone in the village thinks that he is stimulated in the big city!" However, he was quite rich, and his sons and daughters all went to the city center to buy houses. ”

"Then why didn't he go with his sons and daughters." Gu Qinghan asked out loud.

The peasant woman lowered her voice and whispered, "I heard from the people in the courtyard that it was because he had done something bad in the city, as if he had killed someone or something, and he didn't dare to go back to the city anyway, and now his brain is getting worse and worse." ”

Shen Zhizhi's face was pale, and his lips were very tight.

Gu Qinghan noticed the change in Shen Zhizhi, she hurriedly walked to Shen Zhizhi's side, patted her gently, looked at the peasant woman again, and asked in a low voice, "Hello, can you please pour us two bowls of warm water?" ”

The countryside was already hospitable, not to mention that it was just two bowls of warm water that didn't cost money, and the peasant woman also noticed that something was wrong with Shen Zhizhi, and hurriedly responded, "Of course you can." ”

Gu Qinghan soothed Shen Zhezhi's back, and handed the warm water to her mouth, "You take a sip first." ”

Shen Zhizhi took a sip of warm water, endured the pain, stood up and looked at Gu Qinghan, "Let's go first." ”

Shen Zhizhi asked the peasant woman for the specific address of the old housekeeper.

Immediately, Shen Zhizhi took out a few red tickets and put them on the table, pressed them with a bowl, and left with Gu Qinghan.

When the peasant woman was cleaning up the empty bowls, she saw the red ticket on the table, and hurriedly picked it up and put it in her pocket, with an excited expression on her face.

"Are you sure you're going today?" Out of the courtyard, Gu Qinghan helped Shen Zhizhi, and seeing that her complexion was not very good, he asked worriedly.

Shen Zhizhi nodded, with a cold expression on his face, "Sure." ”

She has investigated the evidence of the fire for so many years, and now she finally has some eyebrows, and she must not let it go easily.

Gu Qinghan also prepared Shen Zhezhi and helped Shen Zhezhi to walk towards the old housekeeper's residence.

Ten minutes later, the two walked to a low, mud-walled house.

"This should be it." Shen Zhizhi looked at the earthen wall house and squinted his eyes slightly, "Let's go in first." ”

The two stood in front of the earthen house and knocked on the door, and after a while, an old man with a hunched back opened the door.

The old man's voice was vicissitudes, "Who are you looking for?" ”
