Chapter 114 Obtained Testimony
[Did you see that?! Actor Gu and Luo Jia are showing off their love again!]
[“Master Luo Chenzi is so worried about me getting hurt? Oh my god, I bumped into him!!”]
Why does Luo Jia look so disgusted?
[Ah, has Actor Gu fallen out of favor? Hahaha.]
No, no, they say "spare the rod and spoil the child," you wouldn't understand their dynamic.
Viewers flooded the screen with all sorts of wildly imaginative comments, while Director Xu listened with a smile as he listened to Xiao Du's report from the backstage.
Gu Yishen and Luo Jia are both good people, but if it were these two...
He was the first to raise his hand in agreement.
Back at the scene, Gu Yishen stood on a stool, carefully observing the top of the wine cellar, while Luo Jiayin stood below with her arms outstretched, nervously watching Gu Yishen.
"Hey, Lao Gu, how's it going? Any discoveries?"
"Okay, give me your phone."
Upon hearing Gu Yishen's words, Luo Jiayin immediately took out her phone and carefully turned on the flashlight.
Gu Yishen took the phone, stared at the already lit flashlight, and paused for a moment.
He chuckled softly and said with amusement, "Little Master really knows me well; we're quite in sync..."
This sentence triggered another barrage of comments on the screen, with many saying they had been force-fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
Luo Jiayin's reaction of not bothering to argue with him was over-interpreted by the audience as "Luo Jiayin half-heartedly admitting her feelings for Gu Yishen".
"At the top of the wine cellar, here, there's a groove, and on both sides, there are traces of something rubbing and rolling," Gu Yishen said to Luo Jiayin, shining his phone on the spot where he noticed something amiss.
Luo Jiayin supported Gu Yishen's leg with one hand and stretched out her other hand towards him: "Give me your phone, I'll shine a light for you from below so you can take a picture."
"good."
Gu Yishen handed the phone to Luo Jiayin, who stood on tiptoe and held the phone up to Gu Yishen, pointing the light at the unusual spot.
"That's fine."
After taking the photos, Gu Yishen turned around and jumped off the stool.
He dusted off his hands. "Let's go, let's go check out that young mistress's room."
Luo Jiayin: ...This seems to be your room too, right? It was your wife who died, you know.
Luo Jiayin raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying.
Originally, after inspecting the wine cellar, she was also going to search the room of the "deceased" Ren Ning'er.
Since Gu Yishen brought it up first, she didn't refuse.
Anyway, if he discovers something, he won't be able to hide it from her. And if she goes with Gu Yishen, it will prevent him from deliberately hiding any evidence that is detrimental to him.
As Luo Jiayin and Gu Yishen walked to the door of the "backyard" marked with the scene of Ren Ning'er's room, they saw two staff members dressed as servants talking not far away.
Luo Jiayin's eyes darted around, thinking that no NPC would appear here for no reason at this time.
Luo Jiayin then walked up to the two "servants," and Gu Yishen followed suit.
When the staff members disguised as servants saw Luo Jiayin and Gu Yishen approaching, they exchanged glances and then went over to greet them.
"This humble servant greets Daoist Luo Chenzi and pays respects to the young master."
"No need for such formalities."
Luo Jiayin offered a slight gesture of support, then said, "Just now, I saw the two of you talking here, and I vaguely heard you talking about your young mistress?"
The two staff members exchanged glances, and one of them stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting: "In response to Daoist Luo Chenzi, we were indeed talking about what we saw in the young mistress's courtyard at noon today."
"So what did you see?" Luo Jiayin asked again.
At this moment, another servant stepped forward, and like the one who had spoken earlier, bowed to the two men before speaking:
"Around noon today, while I was working, I passed by a courtyard in the back of the house and inadvertently saw the head of the Ren family of Tianxiang Restaurant, who is also our young mistress's father, cursing at her in that courtyard..."
"Oh? You're saying you saw the Ren family head cursing his daughter in the backyard?"
"Yes, Daoist Luo Chenzi."
Luo Jiayin nodded, thought for a few seconds, and was about to ask something when Gu Yishen, who was beside her, interrupted her first.
"Did you hear what the Ren family head said at the time?"
The staff member dressed as a servant pretended to think for a moment, then said, "I was busy completing the tasks assigned by the steward and didn't linger. Also, the place I passed by was quite far from where Master Ren was, so I didn't hear exactly what he said."
"However, I can confirm that the eldest master of the Ren family was indeed very angry and cursing my young mistress. He was muttering something, and I vaguely heard him say something about death."
Luo Jiayin and Gu Yishen exchanged a glance after hearing the servant's words.
Testimony of Lu family servants.
This Ren family head is definitely suspicious; he's not as simple as he described during his self-introduction, like he went out to relieve himself and got lost.
Luo Jiayin was now 90% certain that after leaving the banquet, before meeting Gu Yishen, the head of the Ren family must have had contact with Ren Ning'er, and she didn't even know why they had a conflict.
Luo Jiayin took out her phone, and the two "servants" immediately stood side by side. The servant who had recounted to Luo Jiayin and Gu Yishen that he had seen the head of the Ren family cursing Ren Ning'er in the backyard earlier took out a white cardboard sign from behind him, on which was written:
[Testimony of a servant of the Lu family: I heard the head of the Ren family cursing Ren Ning'er in the Lu family courtyard, and I vaguely heard him say something about death.]
After taking the photos, Luo Jiayin did not leave immediately.
She looked down at the photos on her phone, lost in thought.
Gu Yishen noticed that she was lost in thought, so he leaned close to Luo Jiayin's ear and said, "What are you doing?"
Luo Jiayin felt Gu Yishen's breath on her ear as he spoke, which tickled her so much that she jumped three feet away.
"What are you doing?!"
Gu Yishen couldn't help but find it amusing to see Luo Jiayin's startled expression.
However, since they were recording a TV show, Gu Yishen didn't dare to joke too recklessly with Luo Jiayin.
So he simply cleared his throat and said, "I've been watching you for a while now, so I told you to go and search for evidence."
Luo Jiayin tilted her head and glanced at Gu Yishen, ignoring him. She then turned to the Lu family servant who had been taking photos with the sign and said, "Young man, could you please invite the young man who discovered the fire in the wine cellar and rushed to the banquet hall to report it? I have some questions for him."
