Chapter 1537 We're Even
Kong Zhiyou's initial plan to enter the study to find something when no one was around was aimed at dealing with Qiuju.
Upon seeing Chen Ji's murder, her first suspect was the person he had been secretly seeing. Her second suspect, however, was Meng Yunzheng, as their discussions involved him and perhaps he was also involved.
Kong Zhiyou hesitated, but ultimately searched the study and found the two pieces of paper before hiding them. She also had her own motives; if this matter had nothing to do with Meng Yunzheng, then her actions would be considered a favor to him.
Both Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu are of high status, so if she encounters any trouble in the future, she might be able to ask them for help based on this matter.
Actually, when Kong Zhiyou saw Shu Yu testifying for Qiu Ju in court earlier, she was angry and even thought about taking out those two pieces of paper and simply adding Meng Yunzheng to the list of suspects as well.
As it turned out, Shu Yu did not side with Qiu Ju because of their past grudges. Instead, he meticulously investigated and proved Qiu Ju's innocence.
Kong Zhiyou was glad that she could restrain herself and did not impulsively hand over the item.
Now that the truth of the case has come to light, and Chen Ji was killed by Qiu Ju, things have become simpler. Kong Zhiyou felt a little relieved and gave the item to Shu Yu as a way of repaying her for her help in court.
“Lord Lu, that’s all I know. I don’t know what grudge Meng Xiucai has with that mysterious person, nor do I want to know. I have no other requests, I just hope that after I give this to you, I will have nothing to do with this matter.”
Shu Yu finally took the two papers that Kong Zhiyou handed over and began to look through them.
Actually, there wasn't anything important recorded on it, just some of Meng Yunzheng's schedules, such as when he went out and when he came home.
There was no secret to this trip; not only in Chenji, but even any neighbor in Liufang Lane would know.
However, there are only a few scattered records of what Meng Yunzheng did when he went out and who he met, totaling only three places. After all, Meng Yunzheng's route was very monotonous. He would either go to the Lu family to see Shu Yu, go to the bookstore, or go to see Master Wen, or he would stay at home all day without even leaving the city gate of Jiangyuan County. His activity range was limited to the vicinity of Liufang Lane.
The paper only had the time and place on it, nothing else.
It's no wonder Meng Yunzheng didn't notice, but he could have known without even having to keep an eye on him.
However, although there is no important information on this paper, if it is discovered by the government at the scene of the Chenji murder case, it will indeed drag Meng Yunzheng into this vortex.
Kong Zhiyou did them a great favor.
She put the papers away. "Thank you."
"No need, consider this my way of repaying you, we're even."
After Kong Zhiyou finished speaking, she pursed her lips and said, "Then... I'll be going now, goodbye."
As she was about to lift the carriage curtain and get out, Shu Yu suddenly asked, "Can you tell me what that person looks like?"
She had just said that the other person looked to be in his forties, so she had obviously seen his face.
Kong Zhiyou frowned. "I don't have a very deep memory of faces. I only glanced at them briefly and didn't dare to look at them for long, so I can't describe them in detail. I can only tell you a few features."
Shu Yu sat up straight and said, "Go on."
Kong Zhiyou thought for a moment and described his height, age, hairstyle, big nose, and short eyebrows.
