"Du Pian Hong, how dare you come to a brothel without telling me!!”Du Youlong grabbed Du Penhong's hand with a furious expression. He raised his eyebrows and pulled a long face.
" Big Brother…" Du Penhong replied weakly. He felt that he was not confident enough and took a few steps back.
She was really careless!
She should have known that her big brother might be here. Previously, her brother had reported to her about his whereabouts today, saying that he was going to find a capable helper to solve this case.
After hearing the name "Shen Jizi", she should have immediately thought that her big brother might also be looking for this person, instead of being ignorant and stupid and accompanying Hou Jiawei to cause trouble.
Now that her brother had something on her, no matter how many reasons she had to explain, it would be useless!
"Brother Du, you should let her go.”The man who had been sitting at the table drinking tea put down the teacup in his hand and walked to Du Youlong. He said,"I presume this lady is Fairy Guangxiu Du Shanhong?”
The man had a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes and was currently blinking at Du Penhong.
He was wearing a white robe, and his every movement was elegant and natural, giving people a comfortable feeling like the spring breeze in March. His black hair was combed up casually, giving him a casual and unruly appearance.
"Lord Situ." Du Pianhong shook off Du Youlong's hand without batting an eyelid. Then, he bowed to Situ Qingyu." Greetings, my lord."”He remembered Hou Jiawei once saying that Situ Qingyu was the manager of Hanwen Garden, a third-grade official and a famous scholar in the court.
Situ Qing Yu only nodded. From the beginning to the end, he had a faint smile on his face. He raised his hand to indicate that Du Paihong did not need to be so polite, and then led Du Paihong to sit down.
At this moment, the green-clothed girl standing at the side walked over with a teapot in her hand.
"This is good green tea. Please try it.”Situ Qing Yu gestured for the green-clothed girl to pour him some tea. Then, his expression changed and became unusually serious.
"Previously, Brother Du had told me about the death of the Hou family's young miss. Situ Qingyu paused for a moment, then glanced at Hou Jiawei, who was sitting at the side, and continued,"Brother Du has already speculated that Miss Hou's place of death was in Miss Du's room. However, everyone might not understand why the murderer would move the body all the way to the victim's room. I'm not too sure about this matter.”
"What?!" Hou Jiawei was the first to jump up from his chair. He jumped up and ran to Situ Qingyu. He said angrily,"We can only rely on you now. How can you be so irresponsible?”
Situ Qingyu only smiled faintly, not caring about Hou Jiawei's impulsiveness at all."But it's none of my business," he said coldly."He waved his hand and then turned to Du Penhong." Isn't Miss Du more suspicious now?”
The place of death of the deceased happened in Du Paihong's room. Shouldn't a normal person think so?
Du Pian Hong was definitely the murderer!
But…
" Haha..." After a moment of silence, Du Penhong's laughter suddenly rang out in the room. As she laughed, she pointed at Situ Qing Yu." Ridiculous, this is too ridiculous!!”
"Pian Hong!" Du Youlong stopped Du Pian Hong and looked at Situ Qing Yu apologetically.
"Haha…Everyone says that you are the current 'Shen Jizi,' but I think you are nothing more than this!”Du Penhong ignored Du Youlong's attempts to stop him and blurted out what he wanted to say." I had some expectations for you, but after seeing you today, it's just so-so. Just like those villains in the marketplace.”
"Hehe…Miss Du, are you trying to provoke me?”Situ Qing Yu only raised his eyebrows and looked unbothered." Miss, you're really good at scheming. Unfortunately, you used the wrong target." However, I have something to ask you. If you can answer, then I am willing to help you.”
"Please speak." Du Pian Hong stopped laughing and looked at Situ Qing Yu seriously.
"If the Empress is behind this matter, will Miss Du still find out the truth?”Situ Qing Yu threw out such a question, then smiled faintly as he waited for Du Pian Hong's answer.
"Yes!" Du Pian Hong replied with certainty.
"Good!" Situ Qing Yu praised and asked the second question,"If there are many people involved in this matter, including Miss's most loved ones, will Miss still insist on investigating the case?”
" This..." Du Penhong hesitated for a moment, frowning as he pondered.
What did Situ Qingyu mean?
Could it be that he was testing her determination to investigate the case?
Therefore, she continued to say with certainty,"Yes!"
"Why?" This time, it was Situ Qing Yu who was confused." You clearly know that your good friend is involved in this, but you still want to be ruthless and investigate the case? Du Pian Hong, what are you thinking?”
"Because I don't want this matter to continue implicating my innocent parents.”Du Pian Hong replied,"Among the people I ran away from home, everyone in the capital knew that I was the murderer of the Hou family's young miss. Every day, someone would come to the manor to cause trouble." In order to end this harassment, in order to give my parents peace, I have to do this!”
"For your parents?" Situ Qingyu sighed. Then, she lowered the hand that had been supporting her chin.
He leaned back slightly and stared at the ceiling for a long time.
After a long time, he said,"Alright!" For your filial piety, I will definitely help you!”
That was great!
Du Paihong clapped his hands excitedly, then turned to look at his big brother. Du Youlong looked back at her with a gratified expression, and his eyes seemed to be filled with tears.
Seeing this, Du Penhong stood rooted to the ground, looking on in confusion…
She seemed to have never truly understood her brother!
Suddenly, there was a voice in her heart that kept echoing and urging her…
Indeed, ever since her big brother admitted that he was not from this world, she felt that this big brother was an extremely unfamiliar existence. She did not understand his thoughts, did not understand his thoughts, and did not even understand when he started to have feelings for her!
She really did not understand many things!
"However, this matter is extremely tricky. First, we should personally take a look at the Hou family's young lady's corpse.”After a long time, Situ Qing Yu's voice sounded faintly. When everyone understood what he meant, they were all shocked.
The skeleton that had been dead for a month should be buried underground. How could he see it now?
Everyone looked at Situ Qing Yu in shock and confusion.
"Of course, we'll open the coffin and examine the corpse!" Situ Qingyu said in a relaxed manner. Then, he looked at Hou Jiawei.
Hou Jiawei clenched his fists tightly and lowered his head, as if he was having a battle with himself.
"Brother Hou, if you're unwilling, then there's nothing we can do. At most, we can just let this matter go and let the murderer who killed your sister go free.”
Situ Qingyu deliberately said some provocative words. It was very obvious that she was provoking him.
"Good!" Hou Jiawei finally couldn't take it anymore and shouted loudly. Then, his eyes were already filled with tears.
"Situ Qing Yu, if you still can't find anything after opening the coffin, then I'll have you buried with me!!”He clenched his fists tightly, his voice squeezed out from between his teeth with ruthlessness.
When Situ Qingyu heard this, her body couldn't help but freeze.
