  The three sat around on the cell floor, Chu Xiaoyun said: "I ask, you answer. Answer truthfully. You may ask some questions that you find unacceptable. They are all for the purpose of solving the case, so just answer truthfully. Don't feel burdened, understand?"

Gu Qingyun nodded: "Xiaosheng understands."

"Did you kill Zhou Ying?" Chu Xiaoyun's first question pointed to the core, "You are the one with the most authority to answer this question "

"No." Gu Qingyun replied firmly.

Chu Xiaoyun observed his expression carefully, and there was no trace of deceit.

"Outsiders all say that you and Zhou Yingjin are chords, and that a talented man matches a beautiful woman, but your parents told us some facts and opinions that are different from the outside rumors." Chu Xiaoyun said, talking about going to Gu Qingyun's house the day before yesterday. The couple repeated the conversation with him, "Who is telling the truth?"

Gu Qingyun was silent for a while and said, "It's all true, but it's not comprehensive. My wife and I really love each other. She is outstanding in appearance and knowledgeable. Li, you can also give me some insights in business, and our life is quite harmonious."

Gu Qingyun paused before speaking again: "All the friction is because of her brother, Zhou Sheng asks her to borrow money from time to time, she Thinking of her brother's kindness to save her life when she was a child, she responded to every request. Zhou Sheng had no ability in business and was greedy for enjoyment. The money he borrowed was either lost or squandered by him, and he almost never paid it back. The quarrels all stem from this, and we don't have any conflicts."

"Then she and your parents..." Chu Xiaoyun hesitated.

"On weekdays I am away from home, so I don't have much time at home..." Gu Qingyun said while recalling, "When I was at home, I didn't think she had anything against my parents, and I didn't hear any criticism from my parents. I was really shocked when she spoke disrespectfully to my parents that day, and I hit her out of desperation, and I regretted it afterwards."

Gu Qingyun grabbed the corner of his clothes with bloody hands and tried hard to recall: "Now I want to come, but I'm not very old. Understand the relationship between her and my parents..."

Chu Xiaoyun said: "You just slapped her that day?"

Gu Qingyun was immersed in the memory: "I was angry at that time, so I slapped her and said that What I shouldn't have said. After she left home, I regretted it. It was just because I had to send monthly money to the shopkeepers of the shops that day, so I couldn't leave. , I repeatedly told you to explain the whole story and apologize, and you must be sincere." "

In the evening when I returned home after finishing my business, my servant told me that my uncle scolded him, saying that the young lady hadn't returned. My uncle's and young master's house. I was very anxious when I heard that, and was about to send people to search everywhere, when I suddenly thought that my wife, Zhou Ying, has a strong personality, and I'm afraid that it was not me who was going to pick her up, so my uncle would just shirk it. Screened and retreated home Boy, I decided to go for a walk by myself. Because of the day's work and the dust, I wanted to go back to my room and change my clothes. But when I went back to the bedroom, I saw that Ah Ying had already returned." "What?" Chu Xiaoyun was

shocked Called, "She went back by herself after running away from home?"

"Yes." Gu Qingyun said, "I went back to the bedroom, and she was really sitting on the bed folding clothes." "

Then why is it recorded in the file that she disappeared after running away from home?" ?" Chu Xiaoyun was incredulous, "Did you not tell the police officer handling the case? Did you report it to the county magistrate in court?" "I

said that the previous county magistrate believed me. The master of the case no longer believes me, thinking that I lied." Gu Qingyun said.

"Please tell me in detail here, don't miss any details." Chu Xiaoyun said hastily.

three years ago.

"Master, you are back." The servant said respectfully.

Gu Qingyun nodded, handed the things in his hands to the servant next to him, and asked: "Did you take it back, young lady?" The servant said in shame: "I'm sorry, young master.

I was incompetent and failed to bring young lady back. The young master said that the young lady didn't go back, scolded me, and kicked me out." "The

young lady didn't go back to the uncle's house? Did you see anyone?" Gu Qingyun asked eagerly.

"That's what the uncle said. I was also careful, but the uncle guarded me very much and wouldn't let me go anywhere, so I had to be careful all the way. The uncle didn't like the members of our Gu family, and then he was taken care of by others. I drove them out." The servant was respectful.

"I'm afraid that Ah Ying is still angry with me, that's why big brother prevaricates you like this. Forget it, I hit her, it's my fault. It's normal for you to invite her and refuse to come back. I should go in person Step back."

The servant was ordered to leave, Gu Qingyun raised his foot and was about to go out, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of his clothes that had been rubbed with dyes in the dyeing shop during the day, it's not good to go out like this, go back and change clothes first.

It was getting late, Gu Qingyun hurried back to the bedroom to change clothes, only to see that Zhou Ying had already returned from the bedroom.

"Aying?!" Gu Qingyun stepped forward in surprise, "You're back? Tian Geng said that he didn't pick you up when he went to his brother's house, so I was so anxious. Just come back, just come back. I was too much for my husband in the morning. It's not good for a husband to be impulsive. Don't be angry."

Zhou Ying glanced at him, turned her head away, and only focused on arranging her clothes, ignoring him. Gu Qingyun thought that Zhou Ying was still angry, so he bent down in front of Zhou Ying and continued to make her happy. At this time, Tian Geng's voice came from outside the house again: "Master, Master Zhuang is here."

"Please wait a moment in the flower hall, I will come soon." Gu Qingyun replied. He wanted to make Zhou Ying happy before going out.

"Master Zhuang said he has something to do, and he seems to be in a hurry." Tian Geng said outside the door.

"That's it... I see, I'll come right away. Please drink tea first, Young Master Zhuang." Gu Qingyun said to Zhou Ying after ordering Tian Geng, "Aying, Zhuang Di seems to need me for something, I'll come as soon as I go , you rest first."

Zhou Ying hummed, but did not answer.

Gu Qingyun hurried to the flower hall, and Zhuang Di was already waiting in the hall.

"Brother Zhuang, I don't know what is the important matter for visiting late at night?" Gu Qingyun bowed his hands.

"I'm really sorry to disturb you late at night." Zhuang Di returned the gift, took out an invitation card from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Qingyun, "Xianglai Plum Garden will hold a plum appreciation ceremony ten days later. At that time, celebrities from all walks of life in nearby states and counties will come To participate in this grand event, poetry recitation and talent competition are indispensable. My father urged me to go to Qingzhou Prefecture for investigation, and I rushed back before the meeting, but I really can't invite everyone to prepare for this talent competition. Brother Gu, you are also our Qinghe Society You have to carry the flag for our Qinghe Society, and you can't lose to the Yuelan Society next door."

Gu Qingyun took the invitation: "Brother Zhuang has such high hopes, Qingyun is terrified."

Zhuang Di said: " Qingyun is outstanding in literature and business, and everyone in Hejing County knows it, so you should stop being humble."

Gu Qingyun smiled and said: "It's all thanks to the support of all literary friends. I don't know when Brother Zhuang will leave?"

Zhuang Di said: "Leave immediately, my family The carriage is already waiting outside."

"Brother Zhuang, I wish you a safe journey and prosperous business." Gu Qingyun cupped his hands.

"Thank you! When I win the business in Gyeongju, I'll treat you to a drink later!" Zhuang Di laughed.

After sending Zhuang Di away, Gu Qingyun hurried back to the bedroom, wanting to settle the suspicion with Zhou Ying, but found that there was no trace of Zhou Ying in the room.

"Ma'am, ma'am?" Gu Qingyun called Zhou Ying, while looking for Zhou Ying in the connected wing room of the bedroom. He searched all over the house, but no one responded. Of course, there was no trace of Zhou Ying.

"Where will Xiaoying go so late?" Gu Qingyun asked anxiously, "Does she blame me for abandoning him and going to treat guests? It's really hard to coax a woman when she is angry." Gu Qingyun opened the

door , Shouted out: "Tian Geng, ask two people to follow me to Uncle and Young Master's house."

After ordering the servants, he changed his dirty clothes and took a few servants to the Zhou Mansion to pick him up. Unexpectedly, after he left, Zhou Sheng's reply to him was still: "No one, my sister never came back. The surname is Gu, I can tell you, someone saw you beat my sister today, and let her Died outside. My sister came back safe and sound. If there is something wrong with her, don't blame me for being rude to you!" "

Brother, listen to my explanation. Things are not what you think." Gu Qingyun hurriedly explained.

"It's not what I thought, what is that? How dare you say you never hit her? You didn't say that?" Zhou Sheng sneered.

"I was impulsive in the morning. I was wrong, but I really didn't think so in my heart." Gu Qingyun said, "You let me meet Ah Ying, and I will apologize to her right away." "Gu, you are a cat.

" Crying rats pretending to be merciful. Let me tell you, don't act in front of me. If I don't see my sister tomorrow, we'll see you in court." Zhou Sheng asked his servants to close the door and take Gu Qingyun and him away. entourage shut the gate.

Gu Qingyun patted on the door for a long time, but still no one answered, so he had no choice but to go home first. Along the way, Gu Qingyun was thinking: "In this world, apart from us, she has only her brother as a family member. Now it's getting so late, where can she go as a girl. This is too dangerous."

Gu Qingyun was so anxious that he came up with a solution when he was almost home. He ordered Tian Geng: "Let the housekeeper gather the family members and prepare to go out to find the young lady. Remember, you must search carefully." "Did

you find Zhou Ying this time?" Chu Xiaoyun asked after hearing this, "Or Zhou Ying?" Ying hasn't appeared since then?"

Gu Qingyun said in a daze: "No, we went out to search all night, and the next day all day, but we couldn't find her. I don't know where she came from. It was so fast, and the servants searched everywhere, but they couldn't find any clues. I haven't seen her since then."

Chu Xiaoyun nodded, thought for a while and asked, "When did Zhou Sheng sue her?" Did you kill someone?"

"The next day Zhou Sheng came to my house and made a big fuss, asking me to hand over his sister to him. He said that our Gu family didn't let his sister down, and asked me to write a letter of divorce, so he took her back to himself. He raised him. As the heavens testify, how can I have such thoughts. But no matter how I explain Zhou Sheng, I still don't believe it. He gave me three days to hand over his sister, otherwise he will sue me at the Yamen. Where is someone handing it over to him. Three days later, he went to the county government to beat the drums to appeal for grievances, and sued me for killing my wife."

Chu Xiaoyun thought for a while, then took out the rotten piece of fabric from the cloth bag and handed it to Gu Qingyun: "This piece Does the fabric look familiar to you?"

Gu Qingyun looked left and right at the fabric, "It seems to be the suit that Ah Ying wore before leaving home."

"Are you sure?" Chu Xiaoyun asked.

Gu Qingyun thought for a while: "Yes. Because the clothes Ah Ying wore that morning were different from the clothes I saw her wearing at night. When I entered the room, this thought flashed through my mind, so I remember it clearly. "

Chu Xiaoyun took the fabric back, took out the embroidered shoes from Zhou Sheng, and asked, "Is this the pair of shoes that Zhou Ying wore that day?"

Gu Qingyun shook his head: "I don't know about that." .I didn't see it in such detail that day."

Chu Xiaoyun asked again: "Did her brother buy these shoes for her?"

Gu Qingyun thought for a while and said: "His brother gave her a pair of embroidered shoes, but I don't remember if it's this pair."

Basically all the questions to be asked were asked, Chu Xiaoyun said: "Let's talk about this first today, and then come to Mr. Gu for advice if you have any questions." As he spoke, he looked

at Gu Qingyun's injuries, and said to Yu He: "You And stay here, I will go to the adults for special approval, if he dies from the injuries all over his body, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles."

Yu He nodded: "Go, go and come back quickly."
