Gu Shinwei suddenly became sour, "I have only lived in it for a few days. Not to mention pears, there are not even any flowers. How do you know?"

After the banquet, Han Shi realized that he had let something slip. He pretended to cough lightly and said, "I heard by chance that the pears were good. I went there to taste them last year."

The yard was quiet when someone came. A black dog lying in front of the small building basking in the sun suddenly came up to Han Shiyan, wagging its tail at Han Shiyan, and then barked again.

"Sugar cake! Sit down!"

Han Shiyan pointed at the ground, and the black dog named Tangcai sat down obediently and bared his teeth at Gu Shinwei.

"Tang Cake barks when it sees a stranger and is a good helper in guarding the house. Ma Hongying's mother is good at training animals, especially horses and dogs. The dog king in her kennel at home gave birth to four puppies, so she gave birth to them. The four of us each hugged one.”

Han Shiyan said, his voice lowered a bit.

"Wu Jiang and Ma Hongying's dogs took them to the battlefield, and they both died at Yanmen Pass. Tang Cake is also old."

The door of the small building was locked. Han Shiyan took out the key and unlocked it. The moment the sunlight entered, the dust in the air turned into an obvious light path.

As soon as Gu Shiwei entered the door, his expression instantly became extremely subtle.

On the four walls of this floor, there is a complete map of the Bianjing market, the lively Zhuque Street, the winding Bianhe River, and the tall arched Yong'an Bridge.

Gu Shinwei searched subconsciously and suddenly found the location of Sangzi Lane. In front of her house was a pear tree in bloom, with a small flag hanging next to it, reading "Pear Sweetness Three".

Not only the pear tree, but every small flag has the name and ranking of the food written on it.

For example, the Wanjia Steamed Bun Shop is marked with "Steamed Buns Xingyi"; looking at Fanlou, there are so many dish names on the small flag list that they are hanging on the ground.

"What I heard by chance? You have obviously eaten all over Bianjing. It seems that my pears are the third sweetest!"

Han Shiyan didn't dare to look directly at Gu Shiwei. When he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he saw that she didn't have the slightest disdain, but had a look of joy on her face. She was startled at first, and then her whole person became softer.

"Don't you think that delicious food is not what a gentleman does?"

Gu Shichi let out a slight sigh. She looked from one wall to the other with great interest, looking for memories of her childhood. There were many places where she had eaten.

"A good beauty is an elegant person, a good five-stone powder is a romantic person in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, why can't it be delicious? A gentleman will starve himself for ten and a half years without eating. If he survives, he can talk to you. This question. Otherwise, where would the big-faced person come from to say this!"

"Did you draw this? I didn't expect you to have such ability. When I have the time, I will definitely copy them and eat them one by one. However, there are a few that I think are good, but you don't have the ones above. "

Han Shiyan saw that she didn't seem to be faking it, and recalled the scene when he first saw her eating snacks at Han Chunlou, and his eyes lit up a little.

"Let's go together next time and let's share what we have!"

Gu Shiwei nodded casually, took a few notes of the shops in each row, and then headed towards the stairs.

Han Shiyan calmed down immediately and then remembered that he and Gu Shiwei were here to discuss the investigation. He pretended to cough a few times and walked ahead of Gu Shiwei to the second floor.

The door on the second floor was not only locked, but also had three locks.

Han Shiyan took out three keys and clicked them three times before opening the door.This should be his study room. There are many bookshelves on the side where the desks are placed, and various files are neatly placed on the bookshelves.On both sides of the table, things were piled densely, with no place to start.

Han Shiyan's face blushed slightly, and he led Gu Shiwei to the other side, where a huge table was placed. A piece of white paper had been laid out on the table, and some words were written on the white paper, which was about of the case.

Gu Shiwei glanced at the three words "flying bird pattern" circled in it.

She didn't hesitate this time and got down to business, "The cases we are investigating now may all be related. I haven't found any specific evidence in the tax bank case, but the case of Lu Yi's father is the same as the weapons case. There must be a connection.”

As Gu Shinwei spoke, she picked up a pen and drew the bird pattern in her memory on the paper. While she was drawing, she told Han Shiyan what she knew.

"Back then, in order to save my grandfather's family and the Qianji Chen family, my father had been trying every possible means to investigate the weapon-breaking case. It was during that time that there was such a mask pattern in his study."

"Before that, he was just a commoner. Although he has the reputation of being the best swordsman in the world, he has no official position in Bianjing City. He has a knight-errant temperament and does not like to make friends with powerful people."

"Now that I think about it, it is an extraordinary thing that he was able to help my grandfather and others clear their names in the end."

"I didn't pay attention at the time, and I didn't think about it carefully until recently. After my grandfather and the others were fine, my father was forced to separate from his pregnant mother and went to the palace to work as a guard for the officials."

"This is considered to be an official career in a sense. My father doesn't like this at all."

Precisely because he didn't like being an official, he fled the Gu family and became a knight-errant, and then married the knight-errant Zuo Tang.

Why would such a person suddenly leave his pregnant wife and young daughter to enter the palace?
"So I think this is most likely a deal and a trap. It has been a set-up since the Gu family pulled the strings and asked my grandfather to help forge swords for the court."

Han Shiyan listened carefully and his expression became solemn.

"Do you think that someone wanted to harm your father in the case of dismemberment?"

Gu Shinwei shook his head, "Although my father is more important in my heart than Mount Tai, I am not so shameless as to think that someone has gone through such a big circle just for him. He is just a swordsman. And one person, in the entire court, In front of me, it’s just mediocre.”

What's the use of having great swordsmanship?

At the age of 13, she didn't dare to say that she was the best swordsman in the world, but she was also a master who could count her hands. Otherwise, she was besieged by soldiers on a mass grave and almost lost her life.

A person's ability can be great, but a person's ability is also very small.

"The case of the weapon-breaking case has ended with Chen Shenji being blamed on Li Zhenxian. We can't find the owner of the flying bird pattern in a short time; the case of the missing tax bank has only one witness, Chu Liangchen and a gold ingot."

"We are now sending water ghosts to dive. Even if we see no gold and only big rocks at the bottom of the river, it cannot prove that the tax money has not been on the boat at all. After all, four years is a long time, and anything can happen in this process."

"The whereabouts of the tax money cannot be found. These are not things that can be figured out at once."

Han Shiyan nodded in agreement, unable to eat hot tofu in a hurry.

He was originally worried that Gu Shiwei would be too emotionally involved in investigating these cases because of her relatives, but now it seemed that she was exceptionally calm.

"So, you think the Gu family is the breakthrough point in these cases? Do you want to start investigating from the Gu family first?"
