The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

Chapter 243 Interrogation

Lu Ziqin took the words and said, "Thank you, aunt, for helping me to persuade my mother and let her relax. I will take care of her for a few days."

Mrs. Qian said: "You don't have to worry about anyone, just take care of yourself. I hope you recover soon."

 Lv Ziqin nodded and said to Ruxuan: "Send grandma and aunt off for me."

Ye Minghao came over to help Mrs. Qin: "If you have anything to give me, Ruxuan will serve your master well. Let's go and I'll come see you tomorrow."

 Lv Ziqin nodded and said, "Okay!"

 Ruxuan still sent Mrs. Qin and others out.

Gu Huayu and others went out before coming out of the bathroom.

Lu Ziqin said: "Grandma and the others are not outsiders, so there is no need to avoid them."

Gu Huayu said: "I know, I'm worried about outsiders coming in with Mrs. Qin, and I don't want to explain more."

Lu Ziqin nodded, pointed to the brocade stool beside the bed, and motioned for Gu Huayu to sit down.

 Gu Huayu returned to her previous seat and sat down, and asked, "Are you tired?"

 After talking for a while, Lu Ziqin felt a lot less energetic and his eyelids felt heavy. He nodded truthfully, "A little sleepy."

Gu Huayu took his pulse, took out a pill and handed it to him, saying, "Take it, don't think about anything, have a good sleep, I'll see you again tomorrow."

Lu Ziqin said with some reluctance: "Can you stay?"

Gu Huayu held the water glass and handed it over, "You will sleep for a longer time this time. I promise you will see me when you wake up."

Lu Ziqin drank water and took the elixir from Gu Huayu's hand.

Gu Huayu said softly: "Close your eyes and sleep!"

Lu Ziqin nodded and closed his eyes.

Gu Huayu sat on the edge and did not leave. She held her chin in her hands and looked at Lu Ziqin.

Lu Ziqin didn’t hear the footsteps leaving. He opened his eyes and looked at Gu Huayu, “You haven’t left yet?”

Gu Huayu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll wait until you fall asleep before leaving. Go to sleep!"

Lu Ziqin pursed the corners of his mouth and closed his eyes again.

Gu Huayu looked at Lu Ziqin's slightly raised corners of his mouth in a daze.

"Master, are you asleep?" Ruji came in and saw Lu Ziqin asleep, and asked softly.

Gu Huayu turned to look at Ruji, nodded, stood up and walked out, whispering: "Let's talk outside, what about Mrs. Ye?"

Ruji lowered his voice and replied: "Nothing, I'm already awake. Mrs. Qin and my uncle are with her."

Gu Huayu walked outside, saw Ruxuan, and asked, "Rujin hasn't come back yet?"

 Ruxuan shook his head, "still..."

Just as Ruxuan opened his mouth, he saw Rumin coming this way through the open window.

So he changed his words and said: "I'm back."

Gu Huayu followed Ruxuan's gaze and saw Rumin walking over in stride.

Rumo entered the room and saw Gu Huayu. He was stunned for a moment, then he cupped his hands and said, "Princess."

Seeing that his head was covered with sweat, Gu Huayu said, "Have a rest first and have a cup of tea."

 Ruji has already poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

 Ru Yan thanked him, took a few sips and drank.

 Ruji saw that he was drinking in a hurry and reminded him: "Drink more slowly."

Ru Ji then slowed down and drank a cup of tea. Ru Ji wanted to drink more. Ru Ji took the tea cup away and said, "One cup is enough. Let's drink after a while."

 Rushi didn’t argue. He looked into the back room and asked, “How are you doing?”

 Ruxuan replied: "The wound has been treated and I'm asleep. It's no big deal. What's going on over there?"

Gu Huayu said: "Everyone, sit down and talk."

Ru Yan sat down at the bottom, shook his head and said: "The result was not as expected. Those vendors who blocked the road just took people's money and listened to their orders without knowing anything about it. When Liu Ye was hit by an arrow, he was so frightened that he dispersed like birds and beasts. He caught him and questioned him. I don't know if I ask three questions.

By the way, the vendors on Cuiping Road are not the only ones blocking the road today.

 Going out of Guogong Mansion, there are vendors selling goods on the east, west, north and south roads.

 In other words, no matter which direction I leave today, something unexpected will happen to me. "

Gu Huayu clenched her hands tightly, trying to control her emotions.

Ruxuan was so angry that he gritted his teeth and lowered his voice and said, "This is really unreasonable!"

 Ruji asked: "The assassin didn't leave anything behind?"

Ru Yan shook his head, "No, someone saw the arrow being shot from the private room facing the street of Yuanda Restaurant. It was still early when the accident happened, and the waiters in the restaurant were all helping in the kitchen, so they didn't notice the suspicious person coming in and out."

Gu Huayu thought for a while and asked: "Have you visited the surrounding people? No suspicious people were found coming in or out?"

 Ru Ji replied: "Everyone who visited the neighbors of Yuanda Restaurant said that they saw no suspicious person."

Gu Huayu thought for a moment and said: "The waiters in the restaurant are all busy in the back kitchen, which means that this person cannot go to the backyard when entering and exiting.

Then this person must come in and out through the front door. If you enter and exit through the front door, Cuiping Road is a busy city. Even if it is still early, there will be many pedestrians on the street. He was holding a bow and arrow, and it was impossible for those around him to miss him. "

Ruxuan nodded and said, "There is a possibility that the bows and arrows were hidden in the restaurant in advance. The assassin only needs to enter the private room."

Gu Huayu nodded, "This is one possibility. There is another possibility. The assassin is someone from the restaurant."

 Ru Yan patted his head, stood up immediately and walked out, "Why didn't you think of this, little one?"

When Gu Huayu saw Rujin walking out, she quickly reminded him: "We are in the light and the enemy is in the dark. Don't make any noise for now. Let's investigate slowly by ourselves. Do you understand?"

 Ruzhen responded as he walked: "I understand."

Gu Huayu stood up and said to Ruji: "Send me out of the house, let's go together."

Ruxuan then stood up. Gu Huayu glanced at him coldly and warned: "Serve the Sixth Master well."

 Ruxuan bowed his body and responded.

Ruji nodded, led Gu Huayu out of Shuyingyuan, got in the car and said to Fugui: "Go to Yuanda Restaurant on Cuiping Road."

Fugui agreed and drove out of the British Government House and went straight to the Yuanda Restaurant on Cuiping Road.

Yuanda Restaurant was surrounded by people from the government. If Ruji showed his waistband, the officer let him in.

The two of them went straight to the private room on the second floor. Gu Huayu saw Lin Ling, the commander of the Army and Horses Division, and Rumo was talking to him.

Gu Huayu took a closer look in the room and looked at the decoration of the restaurant. Among the many restaurants in the capital, this restaurant could only be considered mid-range.

The private room is not big. There is a cupboard at the entrance, and a set of dishes and cutlery are placed in the cupboard.

There is a round table in the middle of the room. The round table is painted maroon. There is no tablecloth on the table. There is only a blue and white porcelain vase in the middle with a few rose flowers in the vase.

 There were eight chairs placed around a round table, but there was nothing else in the room.

Gu Huayu walked around the room but found no clues.

Ru Jin came over and was about to call the princess, but Gu Huayu stepped forward and leaned towards him and said, "Master Jin, I didn't find anything strange here. Let's go outside and have a look."

 Ru Jin came over understandingly, nodded and said, "Let's go and have a look."

 Ruji shouted to Gu Huayu: "Shaoyuan, please be more careful."

Gu Huayu leaned forward and said, "Yes, I understand, little one."

Ruji whispered to Ruji: "Commander Lin said that this restaurant is the property of the family of Dali Temple Prime Minister Yu Feiyangyu. If there is no solid evidence, it is difficult to ask someone. Go and tell the princess. "

 Ruji nodded, turned around and walked out the door.

Gu Huayu came out of the room next door. Ruji walked over and transferred Ruji's words to Gu Huayu.

After hearing this, Gu Huayu nodded and said, "I know, come with me."

"Okay!" Ruji responded casually, walking in front of Gu Huayu, walking along the corridor and checking each room.

 The two of them searched the private rooms upstairs, but still found nothing.

 Ruji looked at Gu Huayu and asked, "Shaoyuan, let's go back..."

Gu Huayu raised her index finger in front of her mouth to signal him to be quiet.

Ruji immediately shut up and stopped talking. He looked at Gu Huayu with doubtful eyes.

Gu Huayu stood still, listening to the conversation attentively, "Have you put that thing away? Don't let anyone find it."

 Another voice sounded: "Don't worry, I had already thrown it into the fire hall and burned it. How could anyone find it?"

"That's good. Just stay calm and steady, and don't make any mistakes."

"Don't worry! Don't worry when I do my job. It's just that the accuracy of my archery skills is a bit off. I need to practice more in the future."

 “Shut up and be careful, walls have ears!”

"What are you afraid of? If we make such a small sound, even people in this room may not hear it, let alone the wall?"

"Don't be frivolous. Be cautious and sail the ship for ten thousand years. Let this matter sink into your stomach."

 “I know, I know. That’s too long!”

When Gu Huayu heard this, she looked at Ruji and said, "Let's go to the kitchen and have a look."

 For example, Ji now obeys Gu Huayu's orders. If the master says one thing, he will never say two things.

 “Okay, let’s get off from here.” The two of them went to the backyard.

 The restaurant was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and the restaurant could not do business, and no one in the store could leave. The boss, the cook, and the waiter were all sitting on the porch in the backyard chatting.

 Most of the officers and soldiers were in the front yard, and there were only a few guards guarding the back gate in the back yard.

 When Ruji and Gu Huayu went to the backyard, everyone who was chatting stopped and looked up at the two of them.

Gu Huayu and Ruji walked along the corridor under the attention of everyone, looking at the people on both sides as they walked.

Gu Huayu's eyes were so cold that those who looked at her did not dare to look at her and lowered their heads.

 Gu Huayu walked very slowly until she reached the end of the corridor. In addition to looking at the people in the corridor, she also checked the rooms from room to room, even the storage room where the sundries were stacked. There was no one in the room.

Gu Huayu said to Ruji: "You ask, are all the people in the restaurant here?"

 Ruji opened his mouth and asked, "Who is the leader here?"

Everyone looked at each other, and someone said: "The chief shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper are all in the front yard with the official. We are all working here, and there is no boss."

Gu Huayu said softly: "Ask them if everyone is here?"

“Except for the first shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper, is everyone in the restaurant here?”

Someone stood up to take a look and said, "Except for the two shopkeepers, we still need some seedlings and two water. The rest are here."

 Ruji asked: "Have you seen any suspicious people coming in and out today?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Gu Huayu said to Ruji: "You ask one by one. I want to listen to their voices. Each of them can speak more than three sentences."

 As soon as Ji understood it, he began to cross-examine.

Gu Huayu was pacing nearby, focusing on the person talking to Ruji.

 Ruji asked each one one by one, what their names were, what time they arrived at the restaurant this morning, whether they went to the private room in front, etc.

 Jian Ruji asked the last few people, but still didn’t hear the previous voices.

Gu Huayu walked towards Ruji. She wanted to get closer so that she could recognize him more clearly.

 “Hello, who are you? What are you doing here?”

The sound came from the stairs at the end of the corridor. Gu Huayu's eyes lit up, and she suddenly turned her head and saw a man wearing a dark blue muslin gown coming down the stairs, followed by a man dressed as a waiter.

When the waiters in the restaurant saw the man, they all stood up to greet him, "Second shopkeeper!"

Ruji turned to look at the man and said, "I am Ruji, the steward of the British Duke Lu Liuye.

Today our father was assassinated on Cuiping Road. Someone saw that the arrow was shot from the room of this restaurant. I was ordered to come over and investigate and look for clues. Are you the second shopkeeper of this building? May I ask your surname? "

After hearing Ruji's words, Lan Yi's face became more respectful, and he bowed and said, "My surname is Wang, and my only name is Xin. I have been the second shopkeeper here for three years.

 What happened today is an unforeseen disaster for our restaurant. As you know, Manager Ji, we are the busiest in the morning as a restaurant owner. The waiters are all making various preparations in the backyard, and there is almost no one in the front yard.

 We really don’t know when the criminals entered. Cuiping Road at the door is the bustling city of Xicheng. There are as many as eight thousand people coming and going every day. Who cares about one person coming in and out? dont you agree? "

Ruji nodded and said, "What Shopkeeper Wang Er said is right. That's why we have to investigate carefully, hoping to find any useful clues."

 After saying that, Ruji stopped paying attention to Wang Xin, turned his eyes to the waiter beside Wang Xin, and asked: "What's your surname? What time did you arrive at the restaurant today?"

The waiter leaned forward and said, "My surname is Miao, and my name is Miao Jianghai. Everyone likes to call me Miao Ershui. I arrived at the store at the first quarter of the year."

Ruji then asked: "Have you ever gone to the private room on the second floor in front this morning?"

Miao Ershui shook his head and said: "After arriving at the store, the little one has been doing things in the backyard and has never been to the front yard."

After listening to Miao Ershui's words, Gu Huayu was sure that these two people were the ones who had the conversation before.

In order not to scare the snake, Gu Huayu said to Ruji: "Let's go and find Ruji."

 Ruji nodded and the two of them went to the front yard.

 The two of them met Ruji in the lobby. When Ru Jin saw them coming, he said something to Lin Ling and then walked over.

“I haven’t found anyone suspicious here, what about your side? Have you found anything?”

Gu Huayu said: "Let's leave here first. I have something to say to you two."

Rumo nodded and said, "Okay, you get in the car first, and I'll go say goodbye to Commander Lin."

Just as Lin Ling came over, Ru Ji and Ru Ji bowed their hands to him to say goodbye.

　　Ru Ji said: "I have something to do and I have to go back to my hometown. Laolin is in charge here."

Lin Ling said politely: "Steward Jin spoke harshly. This is a matter for the next person. Please go slowly."

The three of them came out of Yuanda Restaurant, and Gu Hua said: "Go forward, it's half a day's leisure around the corner, let's talk there."

 Ruji and Ruji nodded in response. Ruji and Gu Huayu were riding in a car, and Ruji was riding a horse for half a day's leisure.
