Chapter 1861: Chapter 1861 presumption of guilt (3)(second request for a monthly pa.s.s)
Seeing that Gu Nianzhi had a clue, Lu Yuan stood up and said, “Then I won’t bother you anymore. Make good preparations.”
After Lu Yuan left, Gu Nianzhi spent the whole night writing the complaint and filling in the evidence that she wanted to submit.
After carefully checking all the materials, it was already dawn outside.
The first rays of the morning sun shone through the gaps in the curtains. Gu Nianzhi sat in the study facing north, the light flickering on her face, which had been awake all night.
However, she was not tired at all. On the contrary, she was full of energy, as if she had gotten enough rest and sleep.
Her spirit could be said to be high, and her cheeks were faintly flushed, just like the pink of the heart of the most delicate rose.
Gu Nianzhi read through the complaint from beginning to end, then took out her phone to call he zhichu.
She wanted to ask he zhichu to go with her to the Procuratorate to file the complaint.
In the past, she had disdained to do such a thing, but this time it was special. She needed to get the Procuratorate to approve her complaint as soon as possible, and at the same time, get the court to accept her complaint and file a case.
Because murder was a criminal case, if she wanted to seek criminal punishment for Qin yaoguang, she needed the procuratorate to file a public prosecution.
Individuals could only Sue Qin yaoguang for civil compensation related to murder, and could not directly file a criminal lawsuit.
Her phone rang a few times, but no one answered.
Gu Nianzhi looked at her watch. It seemed to be too early, it was only five in the morning.
The Procuratorate went to work at eight o’clock, but he zhichu still needed time to go through the complaint and the evidence she had collected. It would take at least two to three hours, so Gu Nianzhi knew it was too early to bother he zhichu, she still braced herself and made a few phone calls.
He Zhichu still did not pick up.
Gu Nianzhi thought about it and dialed he zhichu’s office landline.
There were people on duty 24 hours a day. Even if he zhichu didn’t answer the call himself, his operator, orderly, and personal secretary would all answer.
As expected, someone answered the call very quickly and asked politely, “h.e.l.lo, May I know who you are? What do you want from our chief? I’ll make a note of it and give it to him when he goes to work.”
Gu nianzhi quickly said, “Sorry to trouble you, I’m Gu Nianzhi. I have an urgent matter to discuss with you, major general he zhichu. Can you please wake him up now? It’s really urgent!”
The person who picked up the phone was he zhichu’s orderly. He immediately said, “Okay, I’ll help you wake up the chief now.”
He Zhichu knew how important Gu Nianzhi was to he zhichu. Although the two of them had already broken off their engagement, he zhichu still instructed them to inform him immediately if miss gu had any matters to discuss with him.
Therefore, everyone in the He family did not show any signs of neglecting gu nianzhi.
The orderly went to he zhichu’s bedroom and rang the doorbell.
It was Xie qingying who opened the door after a while.
She was wearing a tight long-sleeved nightgown and asked sleepily, “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong? It’s only five in the morning.”
The orderly said politely, “Miss Xie, please call the chief. Miss GU has something urgent to ask the chief.”
He paused for a moment before adding,”… it’s extremely urgent.”
Xie qingying:”…”
She stuck her head out to take a look. “Gu Nianzhi? She’s here? where is she?”
“Miss Gu didn’t come. She called the chief’s Office.”
Xie qingying nodded. “Got it. I’ll get the chief to call her back.”
“Okay. Thank you for your concern, Miss Xie.”The orderly gave her a military salute.
Xie qingying smiled faintly. “It’s my duty.”
After closing the door to the suite, Xie Qingying looked down at He Zhichu’s phone in her hand.
She couldn’t open the phone, but she could still pick up the call.
Gu Nianzhi had called he zhichu’s phone several times, but he zhichu hadn’t woken up. Xie qingying had woken up. She saw that he zhichu had only returned at two o’clock in the morning the day before. He was too tired and had fallen asleep. He had only slept for three hours, she could not bear to wake him up, so she did not pick up.
She did not expect Gu Nianzhi to call he zhichu’s office again. Could it really be an emergency?
Xie qingying pondered whether she should wake he zhichu up.
As she was walking towards the bedroom, he zhichu’s phone rang again.
It was probably Gu Nianzhi who had called at the right time. It was probably the orderly who had replied to her, saying that he zhichu would call her back with his phone. She could not wait any longer, so he zhichu called again.
Xie qingying picked up the call and said softly, “Is that Nianzhi? It’s cousin Qingying.”
Gu Nianzhi was a little taken aback, but her face quickly turned red. She said embarra.s.sedly, “Cousin Xie? Can you let young master he answer the phone? I have something urgent to talk to him about.”
“Okay, he’s still sleeping. He only came back at 2 am yesterday and had only slept for three hours. I’m sorry about earlier. I wanted to let him sleep a little longer and call you back when it’s time for work.”Xie qingying said with a smile, actually, there wasn’t much of an apology in her tone.
Gu Nianzhi also knew that she was in the wrong to call someone at 5 am, so she quickly said, “I’m sorry, cousin Xie. This is the last time. I really have something urgent to attend to, so I won’t call young master he so early in the future.”
As long as she could file a case right away, Gu Nianzhi really didn’t need to rely on he zhichu’s power anymore.
Her only remaining wish here was to help Qin Suwen and his family clear their name.
Xie qingying smiled and said gently, “I know. It’s not an emergency. Cousin Nianzhi wouldn’t disturb us so early.”
She had already reached the bed. Xie qingying nudged he zhichu and said, “Young master he, it’s an emergency.”
He Zhichu was indeed very sleepy. He had been interrogating that person the day before, but that person’s knowledge was really limited. There wasn’t much information he could get, so there wasn’t much new information.
He zhichu woke up a little angry after being pushed awake by Xie qingying. He turned his head away in a childish manner and hugged the pillow as he said,”… I’m not picking up!”
Xie qingying found it funny. Her eyes curved into crescents, and she continued to push him while holding back her laughter. “It’s a call from Nianzhi. You’re not picking up either?”
He Zhichu instantly woke up. He opened his eyes abruptly and sat up. He looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table and frowned. “Quick, give me your phone. It’s so early to call. There must be something urgent.”
Xie qingying handed the phone over and said considerately, “I’ll go to the kitchen and make you breakfast. Get Up early and see what’s going on with cousin Nianzhi.”
She was indeed a little unhappy, but she knew what was important.
Gu Nianzhi must have had something urgent to ask he zhichu, so she could understand.
After Xie qingying left, he zhichu wiped his face and picked up the phone. He asked, “Nianzhi, what’s wrong? What Happened?”
Gu Nianzhi had overheard the entire conversation between Xie Qingying and he zhichu. She felt a little awkward, as if she was peeping into someone else’s privacy. Her face was burning, she stuttered, “Um… young master he… I’ve finished my complaint. I wanted to ask if you’re free today. We’ll send the complaint in as soon as the procuratorate opens in the morning.”
“Young master he, do you want to read the pet.i.tion first and then go to the Procuratorate and the court with me?”
This was the first time Gu Nianzhi had used the back door. She asked nervously, afraid that he zhichu wouldn’t be willing.
Fortunately, he zhichu wasn’t unwilling. He agreed immediately and said as he put on his clothes, “I’ll be right there. Don’t worry, there’s no car on the road now. I’ll drive 15 minutes to your place.”
Gu Nianzhi nodded in grat.i.tude. “Okay, thank you, young master he. You haven’t had breakfast yet, have you? I’ll go make you a sandwich.”
The kind of sandwich that only needed to be heated in the microwave was one of the few foods that she could cook.
He Zhichu grunted in agreement. He did not care so much about food.
After putting on his clothes, he went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. He then took the car keys and came out.
In the living room downstairs, she met Xie qingying who had just come out of the kitchen. She was holding a tray of food in her hand.
Seeing that he zhichu had gone downstairs, she quickly said, “Young master he, please have some breakfast before you leave.”
He Zhichu waved his hand. “It’s too late. I’m going to eat at Nianzhi’s place.”
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Xie qingying looked at the food on her tray and smiled bitterly. She shook her head and sent the food back to the kitchen.
She said to the orderly in the kitchen, “Thank you for your trouble. Young master he has already gone out. You can share the breakfast. It’s all freshly made and clean. No one has touched it.”
“Miss Xie, you’re too kind.”A few orderly in the kitchen quickly expressed their grat.i.tude to her. They happily took the tray and ate it.
Xie qingying had no appet.i.te at all. She went upstairs to get her bag and left the he residence.
It was a summer morning in the imperial capital. It was past five in the morning. The air was still fresh and cool, and there weren’t many cars on the road.
Xie qingying was driving alone, wondering what was going on with Gu Nianzhi.
She was a little regretful. She should have suggested going with he zhichu to take a look.
There were some things that he zhichu couldn’t do directly with his current status.
In fact, she could help he zhichu do some things. That way, even if something was not right, she could push the blame onto him and not make things difficult for he zhichu.
Xie qingying thought about it. She turned the steering wheel and drove back. She called he zhichu and wanted to ask if she could go over to see Gu Nianzhi with him.
