As dawn dawned the next day, He Zhichu let out a long breath and stood up from behind his desk.
On the computer monitor, the moment when the lights came back on was still stuck.
He stood in front of the cake and looked down at the pink diamond crown on the ground.
Just behind him stood two gardeners and their husbands with lowered eyebrows and honest expressions.
The child between the gardener and his wife, wrapped tightly in a cloak and with a mask on his face, was Gu Nianzhi who took him several years to find.
If at that time, he could turn around and look back...
No, even if he turned around, he would never have thought that the kid in the cartoon uniform was Gu Nianzhi.
This bureau was designed too precisely.
And is all this really not Gu Xiangwen's handiwork
He knew that Gu Nianzhi was actually sent to the other world by Gu Nianzhi later.
If all this was not planned by Gu Xiangwen, then how could Gu Nian be in his hands later
After all, he saw with his own eyes that Gu Xiangwen sent Gu Nianzhi to the opposite world and then burned himself in front of him.
What happened in the meantime that he didn't know about
And how did Gu Nianzhi know
He Zhichu's peach blossom eyes flashed lightly, and he quickly remembered the "doctor" who suddenly appeared that day and performed the surgery on Gu Nianzhi...
This conjecture was so shocking that he decided to go to the bathroom and take a shower with cold water.
In the imperial capital at the end of December, the cold water was bone-chilling, but he felt that he needed this coldness to stay awake and calm.
…
At the same moment, Gu Nianzhi just opened his door and walked out.
She had already gotten up and washed herself.
She had changed out of the little black dress she was wearing yesterday. She was wearing a pink and blue silk shirt, a smoky gray thin wool suit jacket, a pair of wool trousers of the same color on her long legs, and black mid-heeled leather shoes that started from the hem of the wool trousers. Thin toe.
She was holding a deep peacock blue LV Tist handbag in her hand, treating it as a briefcase.
Her hair, which had just been washed and blow-dried, was not completely dry yet. It was so black that it turned blue and hung softly on her shoulders. Her palm-sized face was as white as jade.
She didn't sleep well that night, and her dark eyes were stained with the density of the night. They were no longer the amber color that people could see through at a glance, but were like a book with a lot of content, which wanted people to read it again and again.
She took out her mobile phone and dialed He Zhichu's number, but no one answered. She went straight to the voicemail.
The guard at the door saluted her and said loudly: "Good morning, Miss Gu!"
Gu Nianzhi nodded, smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Then he asked: "Do you know that Mr. He went out in the morning?"
"Master He hasn't come out yet, he should have gone to the bathroom." He Zhichu's orderly replied quickly.
Gu Nianzhi looked at his watch and said, "Then I won't wait for him. When he comes out, tell me that I will go to the police station to report the crime."
He Zhichu's orderly: "..."
Do I need to go to the police station to report a crime
For the He family, shouldn't they just call the head of the Imperial City Police Bureau to report a crime
Gu Nianzhi didn't explain much and strode downstairs carrying his LV handbag and briefcase.
Yesterday, she read through all the information He Zhichu sent her, found out the content related to the case, and made a report, citing several pieces of evidence. Of course, the most critical evidence was herself.
There is no evidence more powerful than the victims who came forward to testify.
Two orderlies followed and said, "Miss Gu, He Shao has an order. We must ensure your safety at all times."
Gu Nianzhi did not stop them and said, "Okay, you guys find a car and take me to the police station."
Two orderlies drove He Zhichu's bulletproof car over.
This was what He Zhichu had ordered. If Gu Nianzhi wanted to use a car, use his car.
He Zhichu was in the middle of taking a bath in the bathroom at this time. He knew that Gu Nianzhi was going to the police station to report the crime, so he did not stop her. He just ordered all the action teams to be in place to protect her secretly.
…
Today is Christmas, but China does not actually celebrate this holiday, so there is no official holiday.
People who had a night of partying yesterday still have to get up early to go to work today.
Gu Nianzhi was riding in He Zhichu's bulletproof car and also encountered a traffic jam on the third ring road of the imperial capital.
She was not in a hurry, she had been waiting for eight years, so she was not in a hurry.
When He Zhichu's call came, she was looking at the scenery outside the car window in trance.
"Master He?" Gu Nianzhi opened the phone and answered the call, smiling and saying, "I called you this morning, but it's not convenient for you to answer."
"I was just taking a shower." He Zhichu wiped his head with a towel and walked out of the bathroom. He had a tall figure, broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs.
The muscles of the upper arms are well-proportioned, and it is definitely a good body shape that looks slim when wearing clothes, but has flesh when undressing.
He Zhichu's eyes fell on the full-length mirror in front of him and he asked coldly: "...are you all ready?"
"Well, everything is ready. I read the files you compiled all night and found some key clues and evidence."
"I want to report the crime and then ask the police to control the two suspects and prosecute them. I will defend myself as a plaintiff."
Gu Nianzhi did not sleep all night last night, searching for information on criminal proceedings in the Chinese Empire.
She discovered that in criminal proceedings here, the plaintiff can hire his or her own lawyer to argue with the defendant's defense lawyer in court, which is slightly different from the criminal procedure laws in the other world.
After discovering this difference, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Great, she can really seek justice for herself!
The best justice is to use the law to send these people to prison.
He Zhichu thought about it for a moment. Although he felt that Gu Nianzhi was a little hasty, considering her mood, he decided to let her do what he wanted.
If something goes wrong, there is still him anyway.
Therefore, He Zhichu did not stop her and just said: "Be safe and stay in touch. - Do you want me to pick you up?"
"No need." Gu Nianzhi arched his eyebrows and said, "Watch those two people for me at He's house. I don't want to wait for the police to come, only for them to run away."
"Okay, no problem." After He Zhichu said that, he sent a series of instructions on his mobile phone, and the entire He family was surrounded by heavy troops.
He Chengjian was having breakfast in the restaurant when he received the news.
When he heard that it was He Zhichu who gave the order, he said without raising his head: "Master He's order is my order. Why are you making such a fuss? It's getting more and more unruly! - Get out!"
His life secretary hurriedly left the restaurant and went out to deliver the news.
…
At this time, Gu Nianzhi finally arrived at the Imperial City Police Headquarters.
Because the case of the missing minor occurred in the He family, and it was reported here eight years ago.
According to the information she found, that case has not been closed to this day.
Originally, when she came back, He Zhichu, as the reporter, should have dismissed the case, but in his eldest young master's mind, he had probably forgotten about it.
Or maybe he is too lazy to close the case. Anyway, it is already an unsolved case and has been classified as a cold case for many years. It does not matter whether it is closed or not.
At this moment, Gu Nianzhi was extremely grateful to He Zhichu for his "eldest young master" habit.
If it were Huo Shaoheng, he would probably close the case as soon as possible, but if it had already been closed, it would be really disadvantageous for her.
…
In the lobby of the Imperial Police Headquarters, Inspector Chen, who was in charge of cold cases, almost thought he had heard wrongly.
"Ah? The case of the missing minor in the He family eight years ago? Are you the missing victim?! Are you going to sue the two adults who kidnapped you?!"
In his 20 years of handling cases, he has never seen such a case, where the adult victim came to seek justice for his underage self!
"Yes, is there any problem?" Gu Nianzhi laid out the rules without hesitation.
“According to the provisions of Article 239 of the Criminal Law on kidnapping minors, those who use violence, coercion or other methods to kidnap minors shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years or life imprisonment, and shall also be fined or have their property confiscated.”
"Whoever intentionally harms a kidnapped minor, causing serious injury or death, shall be sentenced to life imprisonment or death, and all property shall be confiscated."
"I was the minor who was kidnapped by them back then. They severely abused me, causing me to suffer severe injuries and amnesia." Gu Nianzhi pointed to his head, "I came back here recently and was strongly stimulated by them again, and I suddenly remembered What happened back then.”
Inspector Chen watched her present the evidence and listened to her talk about the "abuse" she received when she was kidnapped. His eyes were red and he choked up and said: "Girl, don't worry, we will not let anyone go." Bad guy!—Come here! Apply for an arrest warrant! Go to He’s house to arrest the suspect!”
Inspector Chen’s subordinate: “!!!”
Where are you going to arrest the suspect? !
Is the boss out of his mind? !
Gu Nianzhi looked back at these stunned subordinates and said calmly: "The suspect is the gardener of the He family."
"...Gardener?!" The policemen came to their senses and immediately shouted: "Yes, Inspector! Act now!"
It turned out that I was going to catch the gardener. I really scared my dad to death just now...
…
When Gu Nianzhi went back, he went back in a police car.
She took Inspector Chen, who was in charge of the cold case, and his subordinates, and took the arrest warrant applied for from the court to the worker's house where the gardener of the He family lived.
Although it is called a worker's room, the suite with three bedrooms and two living rooms covering an area of more than 100 square meters is more spacious and luxurious than many apartment complexes in the imperial capital.
A policeman came forward and knocked on the door, "Are Wen Dayou and Liang Meili here?"
The door opened, and it was Wen Shouyi who stood inside.
She looked at the police in front of her and Gu Nianzhi standing behind the police in surprise, with doubtful eyes, "I am Wen Shouyi, and I am also a lawyer. Do you have anything to do with my parents?"
