Fang Miao ate with relish.
Gu Huainian also started eating.
He has been eating Ah Qi's cooking for decades and has long been accustomed to it.
This time, I actually found it delicious and drank all the soup.
Fang Miao and Gu Huainian finished eating at the same time. She touched her round belly and felt extremely satisfied.
When Ah Qi came in and saw Gu Huainian eating so cleanly, he wanted to pat him on the shoulder and praise him for being a good son.
Gu Huainian glanced at him with cold eyes, and Ah Qi immediately became intimidated. He obediently put away the empty bowl and walked out.
Only Gu Huainian and Fang Miao were left in the study.
Fang Miao continued to look at the file.
"Sir, I think there are some suspicious points in the case of Mrs. Du's suicide by hanging." Fang Miao said.
Mrs. Du was the woman Fang Miao had examined a few days ago and confirmed to have committed suicide.
Gu Huainian looked at her, his expression showing a momentary surprise, which disappeared in a flash.
"Why do you say that?" Gu Huainian asked.
"This suicide note was written too neatly and calmly. It doesn't seem like it was written with the emotions she should have felt at the time," Fang Miao said.
The writing force was very steady, and my hand didn't even shake.
The paper is also clean and wrinkle-free.
It seemed like it was written in one breath, without any emotional fluctuations.
This letter did not reveal her despair and struggle.
She didn't notice it at first, but now, the more Fang Miao looked at it, the more she felt something was wrong.
Could there be some hidden secret or injustice involved?
There was admiration in Gu Huainian's eyes.
There was indeed something wrong with this case. He didn't expect Fang Miao to be so perceptive that she could actually see the problem from this suicide note.
"This handwriting looks very similar to that of the deceased, but it is actually not from the deceased." Gu Huainian said.
Fang Miao was surprised. There was really something wrong with this case. Had the adults discovered it long ago?
Fang Miao looked at him. This man always gave people a very powerful feeling. He was very sharp and powerful. Many cases could not escape his eyes.
How can such an outstanding man not make others fall in love with him?
Unfortunately, such a good man is destined to have nothing to do with me.
Anyone who is liked by Lord Gu must be very happy.
Fang Miao couldn't help but feel jealous of the person who would be loved by Lord Gu in the future.
"Du's husband is a big suspect." Gu Huainian said.
Fang Miao looked surprised.
Du’s husband?
She remembered that the deceased's husband cried heartbrokenly, and his emotions were completely revealed.
Gu Huainian naturally noticed Fang Miao's surprise.
"Humans are very good at disguising themselves. Some people look like humans, but when their disguise is removed, they are actually beasts," said Gu Huainian.
Yes, human hearts are hard to predict. You can’t tell whether the person behind the face is a human or a ghost.
"The deceased's husband had a close relationship with a woman." Gu Huainian said.
Fang Miao frowned. So, was Du's husband's affectionate look all fake?
Could it be that Du's husband forced her to hang herself, and then pretended that it was Du who hanged herself, and then acted like he was deeply affectionate in order to escape the crime?
He has no responsibility at all and can continue to hang out with that woman, living a carefree life.
It’s so infuriating just thinking about it!
What kind of coercion and torture did Mrs. Du suffer that made her abandon her baby and choose to hang herself?
The deceased is so pitiful.
"Sir, you must investigate this case thoroughly and give justice to the deceased!" Fang Miao said.
"As a prosecutor, my duty is to redress wrongful convictions," Gu Huainian said. "I've already sent people to investigate, and they'll soon have irrefutable evidence. The murderer will soon be revealed."
Fang Miao breathed a sigh of relief. That was good, but it was a pity for the baby in the cradle...
"Nothing in this world is perfect, and our responsibility is to ensure that the guilty receive the punishment they deserve and that the innocent are spared from wrongful imprisonment," said Gu Huainian.
Fang Miao nodded.
Fang Miao continued to read the files.
Soon, she finished reading the file.
Outside, it was already dark.
"Sir, I'll go back first." Fang Miao said.
"Yeah." Gu Huainian responded.
Fang Miao stood up.
Gu Huainian also stood up.
Fang Miao looked at Gu Huainian.
"I'm done with my work too." Gu Huainian said.
Fang Miao said: "Then sir, please go back early."
After Fang Miao finished speaking, she turned around, opened the door and went out.
Gu Huainian also went out.
The two men left the Dali Temple one after the other.
It was dark, but fortunately the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, lighting the way home.
The evening breeze is quite cool.
Fang Miao stepped forward, with footsteps following behind her.
Fang Miao turned her head and saw Gu Huainian following behind her, the two of them keeping a distance from each other.
Why don’t you take the carriage back?
Fang Miao stopped wondering and continued forward.
The footsteps behind me kept coming.
Her way home is different from Lord Gu’s way back to the general’s mansion, right?
Fang Miao turned to look at him.
When she stopped, Gu Huainian also stopped and looked up at the sky.
Fang Miao walked forward for a while, then stopped and turned around. Gu Huainian was still looking at the sky in the same posture.
The two of them walked like this for a while, and Fang Miao really couldn't bear it anymore.
"Sir, this is not the way you go home, right?" Fang Miao said.
Gu Huainian's expression flashed with an unnatural look, but it was hard to see clearly in the dark. His tone was serious: "I'm full, digesting the food."
Oh, it helps digestion.
In the past, Fang Miao always walked very fast. Although she was a coroner, she was actually afraid of walking at night.
Sometimes, people are scarier than ghosts.
However, now that there was someone following behind him, Fang Miao felt much more at ease.
Moreover, it was Lord Gu whom she liked.
Fang Miao deliberately walked very slowly. She even hoped that this road was longer so that she could continue walking like this with Lord Gu.
If only Master Gu could stay with her all the time...
However, no matter how slowly you walk, you will eventually reach your destination.
Fang Miao walked to the door and turned around to see Gu Huainian standing three steps away.
Gu Huainian was tall, dressed in black. The moonlight enveloped him, diluting the cold aura and making him look much gentler. His face also softened, making him look more handsome.
Fang Miao tilted her head and looked at him.
How can you walk to someone's door to help digestion?
Fang Miao put her hands behind her back, drew circles on the ground with her feet, and said shyly, "Sir, are you taking me home?"
Gu Huainian's ears turned slightly red and he felt uncomfortable all over.
"Yeah." Gu Huainian responded.
Fang Miao stared at him with sparkling eyes. Lord Gu must be worried about himself.
Does this mean that Lord Gu cares about me a little bit?
Gu Huainian was stared at by her, the redness of his ears spread to his face, his head was in a mess, and his whole body felt wrong.
"It's too late. If anything happens to you, the Dali Temple will be held responsible." Gu Huainian said, his words coming out before he could think.
The light in Fang Miao's eyes suddenly faded a little.
It turned out that they were afraid that something might happen to her and the Dali Temple would be held responsible.
"I'm safe now. The Dali Temple is no longer responsible. Your Excellency, please return."
Fang Miao pushed the door open and went in.
Outside the door, Gu Huainian was standing there.
Ah Qi was squatting not far away, scratching his ears and cheeks in anger.
My master is a good man, why does he have a big mouth?
He usually talks about cases in an orderly manner, so why is he so tongue-tied in front of the girl he likes?
He's almost pissed off!
