078 Intentional movement, can this also be a beam?
Gu Qiancheng's words overturned all the previous inferences about the government and the six gates, but Qin Jiyan didn't think there was anything wrong...
Previously, they had been trapped in the dilemma of the same person committing a crime, and they kept wondering who could enter eleven homes at the same time and install murder weapons in the houses.
After receiving the case, they investigated the people who had been in contact with the eleven deceased people, but could not find anyone they knew in common. The case was in trouble, and there was no hope of solving the case...
Now, Gu Qiancheng said that the murderer was not the same person, but was planned by the same person. This undoubtedly provided them with a new idea. Qin Jiyan immediately went on to investigate the suspicious persons around Miss Mei.
As long as the murderer of Miss Mei is found, it will be much easier for them to investigate related cases. I believe that the family of the deceased will give their full assistance.
"If the murderer is found, you will be credited." Putting aside the previous accident, Gu Qiancheng's autopsy technique really amazed Qin Jiyan.
He has never seen anyone who can keep the corpse intact after dissecting it and even take the trouble to sew up the deceased.
"There's no need to record merit. Your Highness, King Qin, can you give me a practical benefit." Gu Qiancheng has always been realistic, thanking you verbally and keeping it in mind. Gu Qiancheng doesn't care about it at all. Those are too vain.
"What benefits do you want?" Qin Jiyan knew Gu Qiancheng's character to some extent after knowing Gu Qiancheng for so long.
This woman is very smart and measured. Her requests will never embarrass him, but they won't be too easy either.
"Please Your Highness, please introduce me to a trading firm. I have a batch of things to deal with. The firm can take 10% of the transaction price." Gu Qiancheng said calmly.
Her good stepmother would be out soon, and the first thing she would do would probably be to get her dowry. Gu Qiancheng thought he didn't have the ability to keep those things, so he simply exchanged them for money.
Once the money was placed close to her, Mrs. Gu couldn't move it even if she wanted it to be moved.
"Would the Gu family agree?" Qin Jiyan didn't think the Gu family would let Gu Qiancheng sell those things.
To put it bluntly, although those things are placed in Gu Qiancheng's yard, they will still be put into the Gu family's warehouse after a while. And the things that go into the warehouse naturally belong to the Gu family.
"That's why you, His Highness the King of Qin, need to come forward." Otherwise, she could ask her third uncle to find a business to handle the batch of things without having to pay a 10% commission.
"Are you so sure that Mr. Gu will betray this king?" Qin Jiyan stared at Gu Qiancheng, feeling that Gu Qiancheng had something he didn't say.
Gu Qiancheng let Qin Jiyan look at him openly: "Your Highness, as long as you are willing to come forward, I will take care of the rest." She had already thought about coaxing the old man.
The old man shouldn't mind investing in another contender with the right to succeed. King Zhao is not as promising as the old man thought.
Qin Jiyan couldn't see anything strange, so he had to suppress the suspicion in his heart and asked Gu Qiancheng to prepare the things and he would send someone to pick them up.
Is this a promise?
Gu Qiancheng smiled and thanked generously: "Thank you, Your Highness."
"No need." Qin Jiyan did not take any credit. To him, this matter was nothing more than a prison sentence, and compared with the case, it seemed even more insignificant.
The carriage stopped at its original location. Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng got off the carriage one after another. Gu Qiancheng stood obediently at the foot of the wall, waiting for Qin Jiyan to take her in...
She is thick-skinned. She has been hugged once anyway, so it doesn't matter if she is hugged again.
Qin Jiyan was different. He finally suppressed the strangeness he felt before. Thinking of having physical contact with Gu Qiancheng again, Qin Jiyan felt his heartbeat speeding up. His palms were sweating before he even made a move.
Already...
This feeling of being out of control makes people half happy and half worried...
"Your Highness?" Gu Qiancheng reminded Qin Jiyan after waiting for a long time.
"Ahem..." Qin Jiyan coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment: "I will send you in."
Qin Jiyan suppressed the strangeness in his heart and stepped forward to hug Gu Qiancheng's waist. He pointed his toes and gently moved his arms, and Gu Qiancheng fell into his arms...
The soft waist made people feel uneasy, but the smell of Gu Qiancheng made Qin Jiyan dare not compliment her.
Perhaps he had just come into contact with a dead person. Gu Qiancheng's body had a touch of blood, which Qin Jiyan disliked. What made Qin Jiyan even more dissatisfied was that Gu Qiancheng's hair was wet...
He hadn't noticed before?
"Next time, wring your hair dry before going out." Qin Jiyan put down Gu Qiancheng, took a few steps back, and distanced the two of them.
"My hair... I have to wash it when I wait, so don't bother." Gu Qiancheng knew that it was not good to go out with wet hair, but she was too lazy.
This hair is really too long. It won't take many years or months to wait until it is dried.
"Where are the servants around you?" Qin Jiyan knew that Gu Qiancheng, a woman, must be too lazy to do this.
Gu Qiancheng frowned slightly: "I don't like them serving personally." Those maids were not strict at all. They actually told the second aunt about the wooden box, and finally it reached the ears of the old lady.
If the old lady hadn't told her, she would have been kept in the dark. However, she returned the box to Qin Jiyan, and the old lady and her second aunt couldn't find anything.
"Learn to cultivate your own confidants." Qin Jiyan walked with Gu Qiancheng to the yard where she lived, left these words and left.
Gu Qiancheng stood at the door, staring at the direction where Qin Jiyan disappeared for a long time, and then murmured: "Are we friends?" Only friends would remind him of what he just said.
Gu Qiancheng turned around and forgot about this matter. He returned to the house, touched the already cold water, and looked at the dark Gu mansion. Gu Qiancheng sighed and wiped his body with cold water resignedly.
Back inside, Gu Qiancheng was so cold that he couldn't even get warm even after wrapping himself in several layers of quilts...
"I swear, when I get rich, I will build a courtyard. The courtyard must have hot water supply 24 hours a day."
Fortunately, the weather was fine now, and Gu Qiancheng felt warm after sleeping together. However, when she woke up in the morning, her nose was a little stuffy. Gu Qiancheng immediately asked the maid to get hot water and asked the kitchen to make ginger soup for her.
In the past, Mother Sun wouldn't have dared to go there. Those in the kitchen never took Gu Qiancheng seriously. It would be nice to have hot food. Don't expect to get hot water early in the morning, let alone
Want the people in the kitchen to make ginger soup specifically for her?
But it's different now. The Second Madam and the Third Madam are in charge, and the people in the kitchen have changed a lot. And after Qin Jiyan sent Gu Qiancheng back yesterday, everyone in the Gu family saw the importance of the eldest lady, and how they treat Gu Qiancheng.
The kitchen staff didn't dare to neglect Qiancheng's request.
Not only did he not dare to neglect, but even though there was no stove in the kitchen, he freed up the stove where the bird's nest was being cooked, took out the half-cooked bird's nest, and specially cooked ginger soup for Gu Qiancheng.
There is nothing wrong with this kind of thing. There are so many masters, but there are only so many people in the kitchen. Of course, whichever master is favored will do the things assigned by that master first.
Of course, if someone is completely unfavorable, the kitchen will not pay attention to it even if it is explained, such as Gu Qiancheng before...
However, the cook who cooked ginger soup for Gu Qiancheng didn't know that the bird's nest she brought out was specially made by Mrs. Gu at the kitchen's request, and Mrs. Gu was waiting to drink it...
