Gu Miao: Doesn’t Mr. Qiu like good-looking cats?

Although the topic accidentally went off track, whoever was responsible for the deviation was responsible for bringing the topic back. Qiu Yanping did not live up to expectations. At least he still remembered what he was saying before Gu Wenye made fun of him. He pushed Gu Wenye, signaling that Gu Wenye should not get so close to him.

It was because General Gu stuck so close to him that he ran off the track, Qiu Yanping thought to himself.

"I remember someone said before that the woman's posture was like a cartoon? What is a cartoon?" Qiu Yanping asked.

Seeing that Qiu Yanping had returned to the main topic, Gu Wenye also adjusted his attitude and acted as if he was talking about serious matters. However, when he heard Qiu Yanping suddenly change the subject to cartoons, there was some confusion and bewilderment in his eyes.

Cartoons? General Gu was precocious and had no affinity with cartoons, so the two of them had to find the servant who had said that.

When A Dun was called, he was still a little confused. He didn't know why he was called here. Until two men with serious faces stared at him and asked, "What cartoons?" He was still confused - when did the two big guys in the General's Mansion become interested in cartoons?

Although A Dun didn't understand what Gu Wenye and Qiu Yanping were talking about, he still answered all the questions. He has children at home, and he sometimes takes a look at the cartoons his children watch. The images of the thieves and villains in the cartoons left a deep impression on him, especially the exaggerated way they walked, as if they were afraid that others would not know that the villain was a thief.

Qiu Yanping and Gu Wenye looked at each other, asked Adun to leave, and the two of them turned on the cartoon that Adun mentioned. Neither of the two grown men would have thought that at this age, they would go back to their roots and watch cartoons.

However, Qiu Yanping was enjoying the show. Cartoons were a new and interesting thing to him.

"To be honest, the more I look at him, the more I think this gangster looks like you." Qiu Yanping sat next to Gu Wenye, chewing on the snacks that are essential for watching TV, and then leaned over to bite Gu Wenye's ear.

"I heard people say this is called a model face." Gu Wenye touched his chin thoughtfully, "Maybe it's because I'm good-looking."

After hearing this, Qiu Yanping glanced at him and said, "Tsk, when it comes to bragging, I'm afraid that all the 100 people in the general's office can't compare to General Gu." He said this verbally, but Qiu Yanping had to admit that Gu Wenye was indeed good-looking.

I don't know if using "exquisite looks" to describe him would sound too feminine, but how should I put it, Gu Wenye's face is just right. A little more would seem deliberate, a little less would seem weak. Every stroke of his eyebrows, eyes, and facial features seem to have been carefully carved out.

Qiu Yanping recalled that someone had teased him in the past, saying that there were many good-looking people in this world, but extremely good-looking people were only one in a million, because those extremely good-looking people were all created bit by bit by the goddess Nuwa when she created human beings; as for the others, they were created later when Goddess Nuwa got tired and used willow twigs dipped in mud and water to shake the mud spots. If shaken well, they would look good, but if shaken poorly, they would become ugly.

Qiu Yanping remembered that when he first met Gu Wenye, he muttered to himself that Gu Wenye's face must be favored by the goddess Nuwa.

"Thank you for the award, Mr. Qiu." Gu Wenye smiled humbly.

Qiu Yanping pinched Gu Wenye's face and said, "You're not thick-skinned. How come you're not ashamed at all?"

"It depends." Although Gu Wenye's facial features were somewhat deformed by Qiu Yanping's pinching, he still looked at the other party with a good temper and a gentle smile.

Qiu Yanping snorted after hearing this, and no one knew what he was thinking about. He let go of his hand and ignored the incident.

He turned his eyes back to the cartoon on the screen, in which the villain was tiptoeing and taking long strides, with his wrists slightly turned up and tightened into claws, and hurriedly fleeing the scene of the crime. It looked extremely exaggerated and funny, but it was precisely this style that made this cartoon particularly popular among children aged seven or eight.

"It looks like that woman's posture is really similar to the thief in the cartoon." Qiu Yanping narrowed his eyes slightly, but he didn't think that woman was deliberately imitating the character in the cartoon. Who would want to imitate a character in a cartoon? She's not a very popular character, and her posture is so weird. No normal person would do such a thing.

If it was not voluntary, then it was passive and she had no choice but to act in this way. Who would force that woman to do this? What was her motive? What was her purpose?

Qiu Yanping discovered that this woman was filled with mysteries one after another.

"If it was passive, maybe it was a punishment? At least for that woman, having to appear in front of everyone in such a weird posture is really a very unacceptable punishment." Gu Wenye said.

"Punishment?" Qiu Yanping's eyes lit up when he heard this. This reminded him of the street parades in the past. Some people who violated ethical codes would be hung with signs stating the crimes they had committed, such as adultery. These people would be led by yamen runners and paraded through the streets for public display.

Qiu Yanping had a vague answer in his mind, but it would be bad if he just accused someone of a crime without evidence. He said, "When you investigate Miss Ah Hui, pay attention to whether she has any bad records."

"What did you think of?" asked Gu Wenye.

"It has some clues, but it's still missing something," Qiu Yanping said. If someone forced "Ahui" to appear in front of the public in this posture, it was to expose "Ahui's" improper behavior, just like the villain in the cartoon with similar behavior, why did they have to beat around the bush like this?

Gu Wenye understood that the insufficient evidence Qiu Yanping was talking about was probably what he was asked to investigate. He had an idea in his mind and nodded slightly.

It was very convenient to use the resources of the Seventh Division of the Military Department to check a person. Soon, as the general appearance characteristics were input, a large amount of data that met the conditions appeared. After more detailed screening and investigation, and narrowing down the geographical scope, they finally got the only answer.

The woman who found Mrs. Bathgate under the name of "Ahui" and wanted to find Qiu Yanping to seek help from Mrs. Bathgate was actually named Zhou Yili.

Zhou Yili is 23 years old and also lives in Star City. She has no bad record and has always been a good girl. Everything has gone smoothly for her. But when she was 21 years old, she suddenly fell ill and almost died. Later, she miraculously recovered in the hospital and saved her life.

However, since then, Zhou Yili's personality has suddenly changed. She has become extremely introverted and doesn't like talking to people. She stays in her own little piece of land all day long.

The file now shows that the girl has been reported missing by her family.

Qiu Yanping looked at the information and raised his eyebrows. "When Zhou Yili was 21 years old, she got sick and almost died. At 21 years old, that was two years ago, Ah Hui was also killed by a disease. Now Zhou Yili is using Ah Hui's name to get close to Lady Bathgate, so she must know Ah Hui. There must be some connection between her and the disease that killed Ah Hui."

Qiu Yanping looked through Zhou Yili's personal information and paused slightly at the column for Zhou Yili's birthday. Gu Wenye took the initiative to look up Zhou Yili's birth date, probably because he had previously reminded Gu Wenle to look up Zhu Wenmin's birth date as well. Gu Wenye kept it in mind. Qiu Yanping smiled slightly and glanced at Zhou Yili's birthday. Since it was already in front of him, it wouldn't be a waste to calculate it.

He counted on his fingers and frowned. Judging from Zhou Yili's birthday, she should have died in April two years ago. How could she be alive and well?

Someone interfered with her life?

That's not right, Qiu Yanping denied his own guess. He had met Zhou Yili, and Zhou Yili was not the kind of person who would meet a noble man. It could be seen from her face that her life was plain and uneventful, just the fate of an ordinary person. There was no reason for her to meet a noble man who could change her longevity.

Qiu Yanping frowned even more tightly, and lowered his head in thought. After a long silence, he suddenly raised his head, as if he had figured something out, and said in a deep voice, "General Gu, help me check one more person, check Ah Hui's birth date and life story."

It didn't take long for Ah Hui's birth date and life story to be placed in front of Qiu Yanping. Qiu Yanping looked through Ah Hui's birth date, counted on his fingers, and a flash of understanding flashed through his eyes. It was exactly as he guessed. Ah Hui should not have died so early. She should have had several decades of life left, but now these decades of life were taken away by someone, and Zhou Yili, who should have died early, is still alive.

No wonder Zhou Yili can still live so openly and not be punished more harshly for disrupting the plan of the Heavenly Dao. This is all because someone died for her. What a trick that allowed her to temporarily evade the ears and eyes of the Heavenly Dao and not be tracked down again.

Qiu Yanping's eyes were heavy. Ah Hui was a scapegoat, and Zhou Yili was the one who should have died two years ago. It was not an easy task for a person who could fool even the heavens to deceive the heavens and survive an early death. A girl in her early twenties could never do this.
