BXBX NOVEL Chapter 213 - 213 Joy
“A silversmith shop?” Zhou Jia frowned. “The coroner said that there were no signs of poisoning on the deceased.”
Mr. Qian looked at Zhou Jia and said, “Sir, since he didn’t die from poison, he must have caught a cold. Do you think we should close the case?”
Zhou Jia raised his hand and said, “We can’t close the case so rashly! Send someone to keep an eye on the silversmith and see what kind of person he is. Then, send someone to monitor the Wang family’s surroundings and see if any suspicious men have appeared near the Wang family. As long as Madam Su leaves the house, follow her. If she really has an affair with someone, she will definitely give herself away.”
!!
Mr. Qian pointed at the deceased and said, “What about the deceased’s corpse? Should we return it to the Wang family?”
“There’s no hurry. Wait for me to go back and consult Doctor Wen and Madam! They might provide other ideas to solve the case!”
Mr. Qian looked at the corpse in the corner and said, “Alright, fortunately, the weather isn’t hot yet. Madam stored some ice in the cellar when it was cold. I’ll get someone to get some ice.”
“Alright! Hand this over to Scribe Tu later.”
Zhou Jia returned to the back office to wash up and change his clothes. He returned to his room and sat on the edge of the bed. Looking at Li Yu’s sleeping face, he felt his wandering heart calm down. He leaned over and kissed Li Yu’s forehead gently before lying down beside her.
When Doctor Wen returned home from the volunteer medical consultation, Aunt Zhang smiled and reported, “Old Master, my Madam is back.”
Doctor Wen laughed and said, “It’s good that she’s back! It saves Xiao Xi from being in a daze every day. The brat must be overjoyed! Hey! Where are the two of them?”
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, “Madam is tired and is resting. Young Master just came back from the previous office and was busy visiting Madam.”
Doctor Wen thought in relief, “Everything is going well at home. Xiao Xi and Xiaoyu are a loving couple. His grandfather in heaven would not have to worry!”
“Alright, go prepare something delicious with Old Madam Liu. Xiao Xi and I will have a good drink tonight.”
“Yes!” Aunt Zhang agreed happily and went to the kitchen to look for Old Madam Liu to prepare.
Ah Lei looked around and didn’t see Li Qing. He said unhappily, “Where did Young Master Ah Qing go? Did he go back to Tongzhou? Does Young Master not want me anymore?”
Doctor Wen turned around and saw that Ah Lei’s eyes were red. He asked curiously, “Ah Lei, why are you crying?”
Ah Lei sniffed and tears flowed out. “Old Master, Young Madam is back, but my young master is not here. Does Young Master Ah Qing not want me anymore?”
Doctor Wen looked at Ah Lei’s back and smiled. Li Qing, who was behind Ah Lei, smiled and said, “Ah Lei, who told you that I don’t want you? I’m back!”
Ah Lei turned to look at Li Qing and smiled awkwardly. “Young Master, you’re back!”
Li Qing nodded and bowed to Doctor Wen. “Grandpa Wen, when did you come to Qingchuan?”
Doctor Wen looked at the tall Li Qing. “I’ve been here for more than half a month. It’s been hard on you, right?”
Li Qing replied respectfully, “It’s not hard. Before we left, we found out that my sister was pregnant and it was raining. We were delayed on the way for a few days. Otherwise, we would have arrived early!”
Mr. Wen said happily, “Xiaoyu is pregnant. This is a joyous occasion! The couple has an heir!”
When Li Yu woke up, she found Zhou Jia sleeping beside her. She touched Zhou Jia’s thin face and whispered, “Xiao Xi, when I was not at home, you were not eating properly. Watch how I deal with you!”
“How are you going to teach me a lesson!” Zhou Jia opened his eyes and looked at Li Yu. He held Li Yu’s hand and kissed it. He hugged Li Yu and kissed her. He bit Li Yu’s ear and whispered, “Yu’er, I miss you!”
Li Yu hugged Zhou Jia back and said gently, “I missed you too. Why did you lose weight again? Did you not eat properly?”
“I miss you every day.” Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu with sparkling eyes. Li Yu supported Zhou Jia’s body and said coquettishly, “Not now, Xiao Xi. We’re having a baby!”
Zhou Jia supported himself on the bed with both hands and buried his head in Li Yu’s neck. He took a deep breath and looked up at Li Yu. “Yu’er, did you say that we have a baby?”
Li Yu touched Zhou Jia’s face and nodded with a smile. “Yes! You’re going to be a father!”
Zhou Jia turned around and lay beside Li Yu. He hugged Li Yu and touched her hair. He sighed happily and gloomily. “Sigh! Brat, you really know how to pick the right time!”
Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia’s depressed expression and smiled sweetly. “Aren’t you happy?”
“I’m happy.” Zhou Jia kissed Li Yu’s head and gently touched her shoulder. He said affectionately, “Yu’er, my wife! Thank you!”
“Thank me?” Li Yu was confused by Zhou Jia’s thoughts. Zhou Jia held Li Yu’s hand and placed it on his chest. Li Yu could feel Zhou Jia’s heartbeat. Zhou Jia whispered, “Yes! Thank you, my wife!”
Li Yu’s heart was filled with happiness and sweetness. She whispered, “Why are you thanking me? Hey! You’re back so early. Is the case going well?”
“No.” Zhou Jia explained the case to Li Yu.
After Li Yu heard Zhou Jia’s words, she frowned and said, “I remember you said that family members would cover up for one another. Isn’t it against the law for Madam Wang He to sue her wife?”
Zhou Jia rubbed Li Yu’s eyebrows and smiled. “Silly! A wife killing her husband is offending her superior. Besides, Old Madam He’s son is dead. She has always been at odds with Madam Su, so why would she hide it for Madam Su? Also, killing is a serious crime!”
Li Yu thought to herself, “Killing a husband is a violation of the law.”
“Oh! It turns out that a wife is still an outsider and not family!”
Seeing Li Yu’s indignant expression, Zhou Jia smiled and hugged Li Yu. He said gently, “I don’t know about other families, but in my family, my Yu’er, is the person in my heart.”
Li Yu leaned against Zhou Jia and said sweetly, “You! You only know how to bewitch me.”
Li Yu leaned against Zhou Jia and recalled the cases she had seen in her previous life. She suddenly remembered that in the redress record, there were a few high-intelligence murder cases. One of them was called the Fu Xi Throat Murder Case. The murderer and adulterer were afraid that their crime would be discovered if they used poison to kill the victim, so they poured melted tin liquid into the throat of the sick husband, causing the victim’s throat to be blocked by the tin and suffocate. There was also a series of cases where someone used a silver needle and pierced it an inch above the belly button. They died from an acupuncture point called the Water Acupoint.
