Si qiongzhi stood under the tree and held up an umbrella.
The women passing by were all wheat skin. They looked at Si qiongzhi curiously, as if they didn''t understand Si qiongzhi''s behavior.
Si qiongzhi was embarrassed to put away his umbrella.
She''s more afraid of the sun.
She is not like her sister-in-law. Her sister-in-law will peel off as soon as she is exposed to the sun, and then turn red. She will recover as before for a long time, and she won''t be tanned.
She is afraid of the dark.
Even if he has been to Nanyang for so long, Si qiongzhi still can''t understand the standards of Nanyang women for skin beauty.
They advocate health and have plenty of sunshine all year round, which makes them look very energetic. Being young, beautiful and energetic is their new fashion.
They love sports, swimming, playing ball and riding horses, which they love.
"Qiongzhi?" When she was daydreaming, Gu Qingzhou''s car stopped in front of her.
When she got on the bus, Gu Qingzhou also asked her, "why don''t you hold an umbrella?"
Si qiongzhi: "
It''s really hard to explain.
She changed the subject and asked if there was any other news after the morning.
Gu Qingzhou told Si qiongzhi what the white guard said.
Si qiongzhi was slightly stunned: "do you want to be an official? Or such a small official who doesn''t enter the Department?"
"He has his own plan." Gu Qingzhou said with a smile, "with the frequent wars in the past two years, many people go abroad, and there are more and more rich Chinese businessmen in Singapore.
The colonial governor''s Office welcomes the fact that these rich people can provide more industries for Singapore, but it will be more troublesome to control them.
Mr. Bai means that our family has a high reputation in China, and your brother''s future is uncertain. Take me to the town house first, and at least handle the Pei family''s affairs properly for the time being. "
Si qiongzhi was a little worried: "am I in trouble?"
"No." Gu Qingzhou said, "Bai changguan also said that you and Hu qiao''er are separated and go home respectively. There is a witness."
Si qiongzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
She stopped asking.
When the car arrived at Pei''s house, they heard the sound of crying as soon as they entered the door.
It''s a young man.
"... I didn''t go to Malacca and she became like this when I came back. What should I do?" The man cried bitterly.
This is Pei Jie, Hu Qiaoer''s husband.
Hu Qiaoer and Peijie are young couples. They are only 25 or 26 years old. They have been married for four years and have no children. Their feelings are very stable.
The husband went out and his wife was stabbed to death when he came back. How can he not be distressed?
Some people advised him to mourn, while others said that he was thinking of his grandmother and that he should not make the old man sad.
Gu Qingzhou and Si qiongzhi were led in by the servant. There were other relatives and friends in the nave who came to see them after receiving the news.
"Stop crying and give your daughter-in-law justice." Said the old lady.
Someone nearby helped him up.
One after another, guests always come in.
Gu Qingzhou and Si qiongzhi sat in the first place, comforted a few words, and asked the old lady to mourn.
The Third Master of the Pei family said, "Mrs. Si, we handed over the matter to the security department. I heard from Mr. Bai that they want to ask you to be the Deputy security department, just to explain to our family as soon as possible, don''t they?"
Everyone looked at it.
Gu Qingzhou said, "officer Bai came to me this morning and said so, but I haven''t promised. I''ve never held an important position and I''m afraid I can''t do it well..."
The Third Master of the Pei family said, "we don''t have a deep relationship with the guard department. In fact, we don''t trust them very much. You are close friends with our family. Please help Mrs. Si and give an explanation as soon as possible to appease the dead."
The old lady of the Pei family said, "don''t force Mrs. Si. Qiao''er''s grievances can always be made clear."
Others looked at Gu Qingzhou one after another.
Gu Qingzhou looked at the third master.
Hu Qiaoer is the young grandmother of the second room, which has nothing to do with the third room. Moreover, it is said that the Pei family is also making a separation, and everyone is not united.
The third master pointed out the matter in public, as if Gu Qingzhou deliberately didn''t help them.
Why?
Gu Qingzhou always felt that there was a hand stirring among them.
She thought of all the possibilities. She could only think that it was related to the politics of Si Xingyu, and she didn''t know anything else.
"Old lady, I''m afraid I''m incompetent. If the Pei family trusts me and Bai changguan trusts me, I''ll consider it." Gu Qingzhou showed her attitude.
Pei: do you mind if she comes in on purpose?
Therefore, the experienced old lady took out her attitude: "the Pei family trusts Mrs. Si. Please deal with this matter."
There is a misunderstanding.
The old lady thought she wanted to be an official and was afraid that her family thought she was taking advantage of the misfortune of the Pei family, so she came first to make it clear; According to others, the Pei family and chief Bai asked her to find an explanation for Hu qiao''er''s death.
The third master put this foot in the middle, which really had an excellent effect.
Gu Qingzhou looked at him again.
But he didn''t look at Gu''s boat and sat in silence.
The Pei family''s children are all there. A room full of people.
When Gu Qingzhou and Si qiongzhi got up to leave, the eldest wife of the Pei family suddenly pushed down her son Peicheng: "ah Cheng, you send Mrs. and miss Si."
Pei Cheng stood up without expression: "yes."
He was very restrained. He couldn''t see the embarrassment in the morning, but his attitude was cold.
He took Gu Qingzhou and Si qiongzhi to the gate and chatted with Gu Qingzhou all the way: "when are you going to start the investigation over there?"
"I don''t know yet."
"I hope it will be earlier." Pei Cheng said, "Mrs. Si, if you coordinate this matter, I can talk to you. That day, I saw my second brother and sister. I don''t know whether some details are useful or useless."
Si qiongzhi looked at him.
Pei Cheng immediately felt her eyes and said, "don''t worry, Miss Si, I''m not talking about you."
Si qiongzhi took back his sight.
"... but miss Si seems guilty." Pei Cheng added, "I know Miss Si can''t kill people, because the four knives are very deep. It takes great strength to poke in and then pull out. It''s not something a thin girl like you can do.
The second younger brother and younger sister have no trace of struggle, which shows that the murderer is firm and accurate when stabbing, and has great strength. With bone etching hatred, he should be a man. Miss Si has no personal feud with her. As long as she is not blind, she will not doubt you. There is no need to be so upset. "
Si qiongzhi: "
This should be a consolation, but from his mouth, it was cold and ironic. It was not very comfortable to hear it.
Si qiongzhi didn''t know how to answer for a moment.
She remembered that this morning, Peicheng asked her to go to the office and closed the door. Originally, she wanted to ask her something. Unexpectedly, later, she was in a great embarrassment. She got up and left without time to ask anything.
She choked at Pei Cheng''s words and didn''t know how to speak. After a long time, she hummed, "thank you."
After leaving Pei''s house and getting on the bus, Gu Qingzhou asked Si qiongzhi, "is he Peicheng?"
"That''s him."
"That''s the one..." Gu Qingzhou pondered his words. Si qiongzhi said, "well, that''s it. Sister-in-law, don''t mention it any more."
