Chapter 18 The Missing Woman

"Who let you in? Get out!"

The maid stared round her eyes, screaming and trying to throw them out.

"My son was sent by Longhua County to assist in the case of Qi Xuzhen's disappearance. Why did you do it without even asking!" Du Heng slammed the door frame tightly and said loudly.

"Don't talk nonsense, get out!" The servant girl was weak, but her words were full of confidence.

"You don't know Longhua County, Cao Mingde, the captain of Cao County here, should know about it." Du Si said calmly.

"You are... people from the government."

The servant girl paused and stopped slowly.

After some communication between the three of them, Du Si learned that the maid named Lvhuan was dedicated to serving Qi Xuzhen's daily necessities, in other words, she was also the person closest to Qi Xuzhen in Yu Gao's mansion.

"Miss was born with a face like a fish and a wild goose. She is usually knowledgeable and sensible, and she can also write a good hand. How could such a thing happen and get such a reputation?"

Lu Huan bowed her head and wept, but she didn't see the tough look just now.

"How do you get along with your young lady?" Du Si didn't step forward to comfort her.

"Miss treats me like my own sister. I have always regarded Miss as my own sister." Lu Huan raised her head, revealing a pair of hazy almond eyes, very pitiful.

"So, you and Qi Xuzhen have a very good relationship."

"I'm a servant girl serving the lady, how dare I judge myself." Lu Huan lowered her head.

"So, do you know what Qi Xuzhen likes?"

"This…"

"Is it Shumo Danqing?" Du Si's eyes flashed a few traces of thoughtfulness.

"Yes, it's the book Mo Danqing."

"What are you doing in Qi Xuzhen's room?" Du Si asked tightly.

"I... miss Miss very much, and want to go into the house to have a look." Luhuan's pupils moved slightly, looking at the flowers and plants beside her.

Du Si suddenly smiled when he heard the words, "Oh, it's really sisterly love."

"..." Luhuan squeezed the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, without saying anything.

"Last question, where did your young lady go before she disappeared?"

"Except for getting letters every day, I stay in the room all day." The servant girl cried, "When I entered the lady's room in the morning, I found no one there. Who would have thought that all the gold and silver jewelry were gone, and I found the adulterer in front of the yard?" Only then did I know that Miss ran away with the others."

The maid, Luhuan, was the first person to discover the letter.

"Troublesome girl." Du Si bid farewell, but did not leave Gao Mansion, but went to the kitchen.

After asking many people along the way, the master and servant finally found the kitchen. The kitchen here is also called the fire room. Because it is located in the east of the main room, it can also be called the east kitchen.

There were about a dozen people in the room, Du Si's eyes sank, and he spoke loudly to everyone.

"I was entrusted by County Captain Cao to investigate the truth of Qi Xuzhen's disappearance. If anyone has half a lie, I will serve you in a prison!"

Du Si's solemn expression shocked everyone. They stopped their work and looked at Du Si one after another.

"What is Qi Xuzhen's favorite food on weekdays?"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.

"The cells in the yamen are very empty. It's not a problem to lock up a dozen or 20 people..." Du Si pretended to leave.

"Don't go, my lord!"

"Master official, please stay!"

Several cooks hurriedly said that they were not choosing what to say, and each of them said very different words.

"Qi Xuzhen loves that muffin cake the most!"

"She loves chicken...and, and pork!"

Immediately afterwards, the words that popped out of everyone's mouths became more and more outrageous, even the ups and downs came out and slipped around.

"Why is Miss Qi so good at eating, I don't think the whole kitchen is enough for her..." Du Heng said in a low voice.

Seeing this, Du Si asked again, "Who usually cooks for Qi Xuzhen?"

"This…"

Everyone hesitated for a while, seeing that Du Si was about to leave again, they started to evade each other.

"It's you!"

"So it should be you!"

Under the noise, Du Si looked indifferent, and pulled Du Heng, who hadn't reacted yet, out of the kitchen.

The master and servant went around for a while, and finally returned to Qi Xuzhen's residence. Du Si asked the servants who served her several times, but all the replies were similar.

It was getting late, and when Du Si was at a loss, there was a child stranded under Qi Xuzhen's window. He looked around and didn't know what he was doing.

"Who are you?" Du Si shouted.

"I, I am a servant of the other courtyard, called Shishi." The child said timidly.

"What are you doing here?" Du Si stepped forward.

As they got closer, Shitou realized that the person in front of him was only a young man, and the age gap was not that big, so he couldn't help feeling closer.

"Sister Qi is gone, I miss her so much." Shitou looked up at Du Si with clear eyes.

Du Sidao, "I miss her, do you know Qi Xuzhen?"

"Sister Qi treats me very well. She will leave me a portion of any delicious food, and she will teach me to read and write, just like my own sister." Shitou didn't know what to think, with a dejected expression on his face.

"What's the secret? You're right." Du Si said solemnly.

"...Well." Shitou nodded, and then got to the point, "Sister Qi is not doing well in the mansion, Madam has never spoken to her, the young master went out with the master, other servants neglected her, many things need to be handled by the elder sister personally. Hands-on, I often talk with my sister, and want to share some worries for her."

Shitou looked worried, and Du Si felt pity for this poor and strong girl, and asked, "Before Qi Xuzhen disappeared, did you ever see her?"

"I met my sister, but I didn't talk to her. I passed by here that night, and I did see that the light in my sister's room was on. She was writing a letter again, maybe she was worried about her old father."

"write a letter?"

"Because her father suffers from heart disease, my sister has been in contact with the family all the time, but somehow, it has been spread so unbearably!" Shitou said angrily.

This stone is young, so he knows quite a lot, after Du Si sorted out the doubts in his mind, he set out to find the messenger, it happened that the messenger boy was not here today, and they had to come back another day.

After leaving Gaofu, Du Heng said from the side.

"Young master, is there something strange at this time?"

"Everywhere is full of loopholes, and I am still a few key evidences that can prove that the letter was not written by Qi Xuzhen."

Du Si looked up at the sky, and the cheeks of the old couple suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

"People's hearts are reckoned, the world is impermanent, even this Gaofu servant can turn black and white, I don't know if Qi Xuzhen and her parents will regret their decision at that time after they find out." Du Si sighed.

"My lord, how did you tell?" Du Heng's eyes were wide open, very cute.

"Field inspection, repeated scrutiny."

Du Si smiled and pulled Du Heng back to the yamen.

The servant of the yamen was still there, but the way everyone looked at him changed a lot. When he returned to the courtyard of the wing, Sun Ping said something angrily.

"I don't know which bastard leaked this news, it's really deceitful! Want to stop us from cooperating with the case? Isn't Du Si just a little bit of an official, these dogs look down on people!"

"Catcher Sun, take a sip of tea to calm down. What's the point of getting angry when this meal can solve the problem?"

Du Si thought about it carefully, and felt that it was very possible that his identity would be criticized by others and Sun Ping would bump into him. He couldn't help but stop, wanting to see how Sun Ping would handle this matter.

This is also the reason why he brought Xiao Li and Inspector Sun together.

"Hmph! This matter needs my help. You call them over tomorrow and see my performance."

"Yes, Detective Sun."

Du Si shook his head amusedly, but now his mind is not on this.

After dinner, Du Si met Jing Heng and went back to his room to rest. Du Heng was lying on the bed with a happy face.

"It's the first time I've slept with the son in the same bed."

Du Si sat in front of the table, the faint candlelight reflected his face deeply, and also made the white paper in his hand red.

"Young master, the quilt is already covered with heat, come and rest!"

Du Heng persuaded, Du Si let out a long breath suddenly, he turned off the fire, and then got into the bed, only to see that the light next door was still on, he didn't know what Jing Heng was doing these days, he slept very late.

"Sir, what are you looking at?"

"nothing…"

Under the bright and clear moon, black and white words were written on the table, and the lines of beautiful characters were extremely clear, and I could only see what was written on it.

Those who give birth to me are also my parents.

The same is true for those who support me.

My beloved, my dearest relative.
