Chapter 341 Investigation

  Gu family, Gu Cheng sat on a chair near the dining room, listening silently to Wei Qiushuang and Lan Shu talking about a trivial matter for half an hour, and they didn't intend to end the topic.

   Gu Jue smiled at the side, looked at Lan Shu with a natural expression, and patiently listened to the chat between Wei Qiushuang and Lan Shu, and did not show any abnormality.

   This dispelled Gu Cheng's doubts.

   That call should not be from Gu Jue.

   And after observing the reactions of Wei Qiushuang and his father, they didn't seem to know that Gu Jue's murder in Qingyang County was instigated by someone.

  At this moment, Gu Cheng was secretly relieved.

  But in the next second, the phone placed on the small table on the side of the living room suddenly rang, "ringing, ringing..."

   Wei Qiushuang glanced sideways, but didn't get up to answer the phone.

   Seeing this, Gu Anguo immediately walked over, picked up the phone, and put it to his ear.

   "Hello, who is this?"

  The voice on the phone is not low, because the house is relatively quiet, so Gu Cheng, who is not far from the living room, can easily listen to the contents of the phone—

"It's me, Cui Youdang. The matter you asked me to investigate before is now a bit of a clue. According to the confession of those hooligans, the person who called them at the time spoke relatively standard Mandarin, so it should be from a big city. people..."

  Cui Youdang continued to talk about the details on the phone, but Gu Cheng's face has become a little ugly!

   "Big city? Our family has nothing to do with other big cities, so the person who wants to assassinate my son can only be from Kyoto!"

  Gu Anguo looked solemn, and blurted out his guess on the spot.

   This answer made Gu Cheng's face paler!

   "In addition to the mandarin spoken by the person on the phone, according to a ruffian named 'Baldhead', the other party's accent sounds familiar, but I'm not sure about it." Cui Youdang added.

   "Okay, I understand." Gu Anguo nodded and replied with a calm expression.

   Gu Cheng, who was not far away, had a stiff face at the moment.

  The phrase 'the accent sounds familiar' on the phone made him so nervous that his hands were sweating!

  Gu Cheng grew up in Qingyang County. He originally spoke with the accent of the county town. Later, he followed his father to Kyoto and slowly changed to Mandarin.

  He knows that even if he speaks Mandarin, there will still be some accents from his hometown in his tone.

  Even if I don’t notice it on weekdays, some locals know more about accents, so I can hear it somewhat.

  Gu Cheng's phone call back then was answered by the 'bald head'.

  He had inquired beforehand that the bald head was a well-known gangster in Qingyang County, and he shot fiercely.

  But Gu Cheng never expected that the bald head could hear accents in addition to being ruthless!

  Once the other party says that their Mandarin has a local Qingyang County accent, the scope of investigation by parents will instantly narrow, and even focus on themselves—

   Fortunately, the call ended here. On the phone, after Cui Youdang finished speaking, Gu Anguo thanked him and said happy new year, then hung up the phone.

  In the living room, Gu Cheng originally thought that his family members knew nothing about the real culprit behind Gu Jue's murder and amnesia in Qingyang County, so he came back and sat down for a while, and planned to leave soon.

  But now, when the family received such a call on the New Year's Eve, Gu Cheng couldn't imagine whether there would be other calls in the future?

  In the current situation, it seems that his father has asked someone to investigate the original incident.

  Once he is finally found, Gu Cheng can't imagine the result!

  At this moment, Gu Cheng felt fear and regret.

  He was afraid of being found out.

  Regarding the matter of sending people to harm Gu Jue, I regret that I didn't select the people carefully, the people I found were too incompetent! Not sure if Gu Jue was dead, so he threw him into the river!

  He also regretted that after Gu Jue returned to the capital, he didn't get rid of him again!

   So much so that now it has aroused the idea of ​​the family members to investigate this matter.

  In the living room, Wei Qiushuang heard the voice on the phone just now, her expression remained unchanged, she just paused for a while, and then continued to chat as if nothing had happened.

   Lan Shu, on the other hand, was slightly startled when she heard the word 'ruffian', and adding the phrase 'the caller is from a big city' made her feel thoughtful.

   Then Gu Anguo said later, "Assassinate my son..."

   Lan Shu already knew what the Gu family was looking for!

  The call must have come from Qingyang County, that's why the other party said it was 'a person from a big city'.

  In Qingyang County, the only thing worthy of being investigated by the Gu family was the fact that Xiaobai's head was broken and thrown into the river.

   That is what Gu Anguo said about his son being assassinated.

  Lan Shu has read the novel and knows that in the book, Gu Jue is the villain. After recovering his memory and returning home, he confronts Gu Chengzheng and fights to the end.

Based on Lan Shu's understanding of Xiaobai, he would never fight against his brother for no reason, so it must be because of something that Gu Cheng did that made Xiaobai unforgivable, so the two had a fighting plot develop.

   Before Xiaobai lost his memory, what did Gu Cheng do that Xiaobai could not forgive?

  Combining the plot logic of the novel and what she knows now, the only thing Lan Shu can think of is the murder of Xiaobai.

  Combined with the reminder on the phone now, the ins and outs of the whole matter were quickly linked up by Lan Shu—

   Is it Gu Cheng who calls to pay for murder?

  The original Gu Jue survived a catastrophe and lost his memory for several years. After finding out the cause of his accident, the first thing he did after returning was to seek revenge from Gu Cheng?

  If this is the explanation, then everything makes sense.

  The conflict between Gu Jue and Gu Cheng is not clearly stated in the novel. It is written that the male lead is successful in his career, and the female lead and the male lead are loving and sweet.

   And now, Lan Shu discovered some dirty things hidden under the plot.

  If you don’t think about these things carefully, you can’t think of them at all!

  At this time, Xiaobai and Wei Qiushuang saw Lanshu's silent reaction by bowing her head.

  The two of them didn't think much, they just thought that Lan Shu might be heavy and tired from sitting for a long time.

  So Wei Qiushuang immediately suggested, "Shu Shu, why don't you go upstairs and rest for a while?"

  Xiao Bai also looked at Lan Shu with concern on his face, "Go to sleep, I will call you when the meal is ready."

  Lan Shu readily agreed to the kindness of her mother-in-law and her husband.

  She nodded, then Xiao Bai helped her up from the sofa and walked upstairs.

  Just before going upstairs, Lan Shu glanced at Gu Cheng not far away.

  Seeing that Gu Cheng's face was stiff, there was a little sweat on his forehead in the winter, and he was trying to hide his panic in his eyes—

  Lan Shu already knew that her deduction should be right!
