Chapter 45 The Case Takes a Turn

  On his way to the residence of Sikou, Guo Jia ran into Xun Yu who was coming from the opposite direction.

  "Filial piety, I was just about to go look for you."

  "It's Wen Ruo brother, huh? Well, you must come at that time." Guo Jia nodded and continued to walk quickly forward.

  "Hey, Fengxiao, I really have something to tell you, come with me." Xun Yu pulled Guo Jia and wanted to leave, but Guo Jia was not willing to follow Xun Yu at this time.

  "Wenruo, I don't care about your affairs, but what I'm going to do now is a matter of great importance for my whole life!" Guo Jia said solemnly.

  Xun Yu was taken aback

  "What's wrong?"

  "Go to the Situ Mansion tomorrow to deliver flowers to Miss Diao Chan." Ming'er replied beside him.

  Xun Yu took a glance at the mandrake in Guo Jia's hand, his face turned black with anger.

  "Filial piety, listen to me for a moment, do you still remember that person from that day?" Xun Yu said directly.

  "I don't remember." Guo Jia walked forward.

  Xun Yu followed beside him, completely disregarding Guo Jia's reaction, and said directly:

  "It was that day, that one you judged him to be guilty must have had a problem."

  "Oh?" Guo Jia raised an eyebrow, finally reacting, after all, this was one of his successful cases, "What happened, did that person get chopped?"

  "That man has escaped from prison." Xun Yu said immediately.

  Guo Jia's footsteps slowed down slightly,

  "What's next?"

  It's clear that Xun Yu came to find him, it can't be for such a trivial matter.

  "A major prisoner in the prison also died," said Xun Yu seriously.

  "What about the others?" Guo Jia couldn't help but ask.

  "There's nothing else out of the ordinary," said Xun Yu. "No one has fled or been injured."

  Guo Jia raised an eyebrow, "So?"

  "So, Gongxiao, you should have guessed it too. That person wasn't trying to hide a deeper crime, his goal was just to get us to send him to prison! That's why he acted that way, and it's clear that the so-called robbery at the beginning was also intentional on his part to let us catch him! We were all deceived by him!" Xun Yu said with some excitement.

  Guo Jia shrugged and said in a bad mood,

  "What does this have to do with me?"

  Xun Yu's mouth twitched slightly.

  "Are you really not concerned about Filial Piety? You've taken on this case before, don't you want to investigate with me and find out the truth?"

  "What's it to me? I'm not a prison guard, and he didn't escape from my hands." Guo Jia said directly.

  Helpless, Xun Yu could only turn and say

  "Filial piety, when you did that in the public hall back then, aren't you afraid he'll come after you now and cause trouble?"

  Guo Jia's eyelid twitched, but he still replied calmly,

  "What a joke! I helped him get into prison successfully, why is he still coming back to bother me?!"

  "Alas, Xun Yu, I'm begging you to take this case. If we don't get to the bottom of it, I'll be in trouble too. You've already noticed so many details that day, and although he gave plausible explanations at the time, now it seems like everything he said was a lie. With your keen observations and unique thinking, you might just uncover some clues. And if we do crack the case, you'll definitely get credit for it, which will be very helpful when you enter officialdom in the future."

  Kuo Chia sighed,

  "Wen, brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, but my mind is preoccupied with thinking of an excuse for what happened yesterday and can't focus on anything else right now... Wait a minute!"

  Guo Jia suddenly turned his head towards Xun Yu.

  "Maybe I can help you."

  ······

  At the entrance of the Sima Mansion, Guo Jia had not yet arrived and hastily spoke up.

  The gatekeeper shouted loudly

  "Here! Here!" Then rushed directly inside, presumably to inform Diaochan.

  As for others, they all came up and surrounded Guo Jia and others, with an obvious look of not allowing them to leave.

  "Uh..." Xun Yu's eyes twitched slightly as he asked in a low voice, "Feng Xiao, are you really just here to deliver flowers?"

  After all, looking at the current situation, it's either seeking revenge or smashing the temple.

  "Don't worry, everything is within our calculations. Just follow my lead later." Guo Jia gave a hint to Xun Yu.

  Xun Yu could only temporarily retreat to one side.

  Before long, Diao Chan and others came out.

  Kuo Chia's eyes lit up, Diao Chan was indeed one of the four great beauties, even though she still looked a bit immature at this time, that exquisite face was still captivating ~~ Although this was only his second time seeing Diao Chan...

  At the same time, Diao Chan saw Guo Jia and her eyes condensed, seeing that Guo Jia was fine and had a completely carefree expression. She thought of the suffering she endured yesterday and suddenly became furious: This bastard! I will definitely make you thoroughly despair later!

  "Miss Diao Chan, I've finally seen you again!" Guo Jia hastily presented flowers and welcomed her.

  "Wait!" Diao Chan stretched out her hand and blocked Guo Jia, keeping a distance from him.

  "This time I came out, there are two things I want to clarify with you." Diao Chan said straightforwardly, "First, I want to find Master and our people in the mansion to confront each other..."

  Diao Chan's words were cut off by Guo Jia before she could finish speaking.

  "These are mere trifles, let Miss Diao Chan take a look. Today this peony is so beautiful and charming, it matches the young lady perfectly. Of course, no matter how beautiful the flower is, it can't compare to a person's beauty! It seems like..."

  "Perhaps you never intended to listen to what I have to say?!" Diao Chan ruthlessly ended Guo Jia's display of talent.

  "What's going on! Miss Diao Chan, please speak up!" There was no way out, so Guo Jia could only put this section off until later.

  "Bring him up." Diaochan ordered directly.

  Then two men carrying a person came out from inside, "I'm innocent! I'm innocent!" The voice was hoarse, it was the gatekeeper from that day.

  That man was excited as soon as he saw Guo Jia, "You are you! I haven't received your money! Tell them, I haven't received your money!"

  Guo Jia furrowed his brow.

  "Gongzi, what's your answer?" Diaochan asked.

  "No, I've never given him any money." Guo Jia shook his head and denied it outright.

  "Haha! You guys listen, did you hear? He didn't give me any money, I'm being framed!" The man was almost overjoyed. But immediately, another gatekeeper, that is, the informant, suddenly jumped out.

  "You still want to quibble!" pointing at Guo Jia, "You told me everything that day!"

  "Who? You two?! Guo Jia's eyes darted back and forth between the pair, his face a picture of shock. "You're not the same person?!" He hastily composed himself, shaking his head as he continued, "No, no, no, I didn't give anyone money. Whoever it was, I didn't give them any money."

  Obviously, Guo Jia's big truth, in the eyes of everyone, is no longer just a lie, but also a pale and powerless one.

  Diao Chan's face sank, and now it was indeed conclusive evidence.

  "Take him away for me, I'll deal with it later."

  "It's not his fault. What he said is true, he really didn't give any money, it's not his fault~~~~" A good young man, I don't know if he will be driven to become like Xianglin Sao by Guo Jia.

  At this, Guo Jia could only secretly say to himself "Amitabha". Who told you to be so arrogant that day? You're just a gatekeeper, yet you dare to offend the ghostly genius Guo Jia! HING!
