Qi Qingxi went to the porcelain shop to order a batch of special bowls with the words "Youjian" engraved on them. This is the name she gave the restaurant "Youjian Restaurant".

In terms of taking care of Yu, it is a simple, popular, and slightly interesting store name.

Qi Qingxi is going to make some flyer coupons to send out to attract diners, and then stamp the restaurant's stamp on each coupon to prevent counterfeiting.

So she went out of her way to find a master seal carver to help carve a chapter, and wrote "There is a restaurant" in four big characters.

When everything was ready, Qi Qingxi's legs were healed, but the opening plan encountered an accident and had to be postponed.

The reason was that there was a murder case in Ansui County. The shopkeeper of a rice store near the street was murdered and thrown into the river.

It is said that the body was soaked in water for many days and then turned white and floated on the surface of the water. It was discovered by a woman washing clothes along the river, and then reported to the official.

When the county government sent people to pick up the corpse, the corpse had already been soaked in the river water so that its skin was swollen and its body turned white, making it impossible to recognize its appearance.

After Wu Zuo finished the autopsy, it was found that the deceased was a male who had been beaten to death by hitting the head with a heavy object.

For a while, everyone in Ansui County felt insecure and panicked.

The daughter-in-law of shopkeeper Xu next door came to gossip with Qi Qingxi: "Tell me, we haven't encountered such a murder case in Ansui County for many years. It's really scary. Oh, you don't know. Speaking of which, the rice grain The manager of the shop, Jin, is a kind man. Usually, when those poor people can’t afford rice, he will regularly open porridge sheds to help the poor.”

Qi Qingxi couldn't help sighing: "It's true that good people don't live long."

"Who says it's not? This treasurer Jin is still a sentimental person. His wife can't bear children due to illness, but he doesn't dislike it at all, and he never mentioned the matter of taking a concubine."

"His wife initially thought that shopkeeper Jin was going out to deliver goods, but she didn't see anyone for ten days and a half months. She was so anxious to report to the official, but within a few days, the official notified her to identify the corpse."

Shopkeeper Xu’s daughter-in-law sighed and said again: “It is said that she immediately recognized the silver hairpin on Shopkeeper Jin’s head as a gift from her, with Shopkeeper Jin’s surname engraved on it, and then threw herself on the corpse and cried. same as people."

Qi Qingxi spent the whole afternoon in all kinds of gossip about Shopkeeper Xu's daughter-in-law, without going out, she even knew about the fact that Shopkeeper Jin had a big dog in his house, and said that the dog understands human nature and knows that the owner died every night howling.

Qi Qingxi didn't believe in such strange things, but she was still uneasy, she was not afraid of ghosts, what she was afraid of was the murderer.

Especially today I heard that the shopkeeper is a good person, and I have never seen him quarrel with anyone, but he was killed again, and the murderer was not murdered for money.

She suspected that the murderer was a pervert, and maybe he would look for opportunities to commit crimes.

It just so happened that the location of their house was only a few steps away from the street, so it might be within the range of the murderer.

So she asked Qi Yunming and his brothers to live together for the past two days, just in case something happened, so that they could be taken care of.

She wasn't worried about Gu Yu's place, no matter how stupid the prisoner was, he wouldn't hit the gun.

After nightfall, Qi Qingxi repeatedly confirmed that all the doors and windows of the house were closed before she went back to her room to sleep.

As soon as he lay down, he saw a tall, dark figure reflected in the window.

Immediately, she was so frightened that she dared not move, and her heartbeat couldn't stop accelerating, as if it was about to rush out of her chest in the next second.

It won't be so scary, what are you afraid of?

The figure walked back and forth in front of the window, not knowing what was going on.

Qi Qingxi glanced at Qi Nuan, who was sleeping soundly next to her, a thin layer of sweat had already formed on her forehead, thinking about how to deal with it.

She put her hand on Ah Nuan's side, staring at that figure. If that person wanted to break through the window, she immediately took Ah Nuan to Qi Yunming's room, and asked them to help block the door and window first, then Find a way to ask for help.

At this time, the figure by the window walked to the window, stretched out his hand and slowly approached the window lattice, Qi Qingxi's heart was already in his throat at this moment.

Suddenly she saw the man put down his outstretched hand, and then a familiar voice came to her ears: "Xi'er, are you asleep?"

Qi Qingxi immediately relaxed when she heard the familiar voice, and sat on the bedside panting heavily.

Then she stepped forward and opened the window, and a familiar handsome face came into her eyes.

Qi Qingxi gave him a light hammer on his chest: "You scared me to death, I thought it was some kind of villain."

Gu Yu immediately grabbed her hand and brought her into his arms, holding her tightly: "I miss you so much, but I don't have time to come here during the day because I'm busy with cases, and at night I think you should be asleep."

Qi Qingxi laughed softly: "Since you know I'm asleep, then what are you doing?"

Gu Yu stroked her hair: "I thought maybe you weren't asleep, then I would have a chance to meet you, so I tried to yell softly."

Qi Qingxi looked up at him, and said angrily: "You stand there so brightly, even if I fall asleep, I will be woken up by you."

"Xi'er is so afraid of me?"

"I'm not afraid of you. Didn't I hear about the murder of the shopkeeper of the rice shop, and I'm afraid there will be thieves." Qi Qingxi muttered.

Suddenly Ah Nuan on the bed turned over, and Qi Qingxi whispered to Gu Yu when he heard the sound: "Go to the door, I will open the door for you."

Then he closed the window and tiptoed out of the house, and opened the courtyard door to let Gu Yu in.

As soon as she entered the door, Gu Yu reached out to hold Qi Qingxi in her arms again.

"I really want to take you by my side, never to be apart."

Qi Qingxi smiled brightly, looked up at Gu Yu and said softly, "Master Gu, is he trying to turn me into a pendant on his body?"

It was night, and the moon was high in the sky.

The bright moonlight scattered on Gu Yu's face, creating a faint light, like a god.

"Master Gu." Qi Qingxi called softly.

"Huh?" Gu Yu looked down at Qi Qingxi.

Suddenly Qi Qingxi tiptoed lightly, approached him slowly, and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

The moment Qi Qingxi's soft lips touched his cheeks, Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, his back tensed, and then his whole body froze.

This kiss was very light, like a breeze gently brushing his cheek.

Seeing his dazed look, Qi Qingxi turned around and wanted to run away, but at the moment when she turned around, Gu Yu stretched out her hand through her waist and caught her in her arms, Qi Qingxi almost screamed.

Suddenly the door of the room opposite the two was opened, Qi Yunming stood in front of the door and looked at the two who were embracing each other, took back the foot that had stepped over the threshold, and retreated to the room in a proper manner to close the door.

Qi Yunming's actions scared Qi Qingxi away from Gu Yu's arms immediately.

She opened the distance between the two of them, and stretched out a hand to block Gu Yu's body: "Master Gu, it's getting late, it's unreasonable for you and me to stay together again, Mr. Gu, please go back."

After all, she turned her head and looked at the door behind her.

Seeing her appearance, Gu Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, I see, I'll go back now."

Before leaving, Gu Yu told Qi Qingxi that the case would be solved in two days, but he was inconvenient to reveal the details of the case, and only said that it was not caused by villains, so she should not be afraid and just do what she should do as usual.
