At dawn the next day, He Zhichu let out a long breath and stood up from behind his desk.
The computer screen was still frozen at the moment when the lights came back on.
He stood in front of the cake and looked down at the pink diamond crown on the ground.
Diagonally behind him stood a gardener couple with downcast eyebrows and a downcast look on their faces.
The child in the middle of the gardener couple, wrapped up in a cloak and wearing a mask on her face, was Gu Nianzhi, whom he had spent several years finding.
If he could have turned around at that time …
No, even if he had turned around, he wouldn't have thought that the child in the cartoon uniform was Gu Nianzhi.
The design of this trap was too precise.
And was all of this really not Gu Xiangwen's doing?
He knew that Gu Nianzhi had really sent Gu Nianzhi to the other world.
If all of this wasn't Gu Xiangwen's plan, then how did Gu Nianzhi end up in his hands?
After all, he had seen Gu Xiangwen send Gu Nianzhi to the other world with his own eyes and then burn himself in front of him.
What had happened in between that he didn't know?
And how did Gu Nianzhi know?
He Zhichu's shimmering almond-shaped eyes flashed, and he quickly remembered the "doctor" who had suddenly appeared that day and performed the surgery on Gu Nianzhi …
This guess was too scary, so he decided to take a cold shower in the bathroom.
At the end of December in the imperial capital, the cold water was bone-chilling, but he felt that he needed this kind of cold to wake himself up and calm down.
…
At the same time, Gu Nianzhi had just pushed open her room door and walked out.
She had already woken up and dressed up.
She had already changed out of the black dress she had worn yesterday. She was wearing a pink blue silk shirt and a thin gray wool suit jacket. She was wearing a pair of wool trousers of the same color on her long legs, and her black mid-heeled leather shoes protruded from the bottom of the wool trousers.
She was carrying a dark peacock blue LV Twist handbag in her hand as a briefcase.
Her freshly washed and blow-dried hair was still not completely dry. It was so black that it was blue, and it hung softly on her shoulders. Her palm-sized face was as white as jade.
She hadn't slept well that night. Her black eyes were dyed with the darkness of the night. They were no longer the amber color that could be seen through at a glance. Instead, they were like a book with a lot of content that people wanted to read over and over again.
She took out her phone and dialed He Zhichu's number, but no one picked up. It went straight to voicemail.
The guard at the door saluted her and said loudly, "Good morning, Miss Gu!"
Gu Nianzhi nodded and smiled. "Thank you for your hard work."
They asked again, "Do you know that Young Master He went out this morning?"
"Young Master He hasn't come out yet. He must have gone to the bathroom," He Zhichu's orderly quickly replied.
Gu Nianzhi looked at her watch and said, "Then I won't wait for him. When he comes out, help me tell him that I went to the police station to report a case."
He Zhichu's orderly: "…"
Do we have to go to the police station to report a case?
For the He family, shouldn't they just call the head of the Imperial Capital Police Headquarters to report a case?
Gu Nianzhi didn't explain further. She grabbed her LV handbag and briefcase and strode downstairs.
Yesterday, she had gone through all the information He Zhichu had sent her and found information related to the case. She had made a report and listed several pieces of evidence. Of course, the most important piece of evidence was herself.
There was no evidence more powerful than the victim's testimony.
Two orderlies followed her and said, "Miss Gu, Young Master He has ordered us to ensure your safety at all times."
Gu Nianzhi didn't stop them and said, "Okay, find a car and take me to the police station."
The two orderlies drove He Zhichu's bulletproof car over.
He Zhichu had instructed them to use his car if Gu Nianzhi wanted to use it.
He Zhichu was halfway through his shower in the bathroom. He knew that Gu Nianzhi was going to the police station to report the case, so he didn't stop her. He only ordered all the action teams to be in place to secretly protect her.
..
Today was Christmas, but Huaxia didn't actually celebrate this holiday, so there were no official holidays.
People who had been partying all night last night still had to wake up early for work today.
Gu Nianzhi was sitting in He Zhichu's bulletproof car. She was also stuck in traffic on the third ring road of the imperial capital.
She wasn't in a hurry. She had already waited for eight years, so she wasn't in a hurry.
When He Zhichu called, she was lost in thought as she looked out of the car window.
"Young Master He?" Gu Nianzhi swiped open her phone and answered the call. She smiled and said, "I called you this morning, but it wasn't convenient for you to answer."
"I was just showering." He Zhichu wiped his hair with a towel and walked out of the bathroom. He was tall, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs.
The muscles on his upper arms were well-proportioned. He definitely had a good physique that looked thin when he wore clothes and muscular when he took them off.
He Zhichu's gaze fell on the dressing mirror in front of him. He asked coldly, "… Is everything ready?"
"Yes, everything is ready. I spent the whole night reading the files you compiled and found some key clues and evidence. “
"I want to make a report, then ask the police to control these two suspects and prosecute them. I will represent myself as the plaintiff. "
Gu Nianzhi hadn't slept at all last night. She had looked up information on criminal proceedings in the Huaxia Empire.
She found that in the criminal proceedings here, the plaintiff could hire his own lawyer to argue with the defendant's lawyer in court, which was slightly different from the criminal proceedings in the other world.
After discovering this difference, she heaved a sigh of relief.
That was great! She could finally get justice for herself!
The best justice was to use the law to send these people to prison.
He Zhichu thought about it. Although he felt that Gu Nianzhi was being a little hasty, considering her mood, he decided to let her do what she wanted.
If there was anything wrong, he was here anyway.
Therefore, He Zhichu didn't stop her. He only said, "Be careful and keep in touch. Do you want me to pick you up? "
"No need." Gu Nianzhi's eyes curved. "Help me keep an eye on those two people at the He family's house. I don't want to wait for the police to come, only to have them run away. "
"Okay, no problem." He Zhichu used his phone to send a series of orders, causing the entire He family's house to be heavily guarded.
He Chengjian was having breakfast in the dining room when he received the news.
When he heard that it was He Zhichu's order, he didn't even raise his head and said, "Young Master He's order is my order. Why are you making a fuss? You're getting more and more unruly! Get out! "
His personal secretary quickly left the dining room and went out to deliver the news.
..
At that moment, Gu Nianzhi finally arrived at the Imperial Police Headquarters.
Because the case of a missing minor that had happened in the He family's home had been reported here eight years ago.
According to the information she had found, the case had not been closed yet.
As the informant, He Zhichu was supposed to close the case now that she was back. However, in his young master's heart, he had probably forgotten about it a long time ago.
Or maybe he was too lazy to close the case. Anyway, it was already an unsolved case.
It had been a cold case for many years. It didn't matter if it was closed or not.
At that moment, Gu Nianzhi was extremely grateful for He Zhichu's "Young Master" habit.
If it was Huo Shaoheng, he would probably close the case immediately, but if the case was already closed, it would be very disadvantageous to her.
…
In the lobby of the Imperial Police Headquarters.
Inspector Chen from Cold Case almost thought that he had heard it wrong.
"Ah? The He family's disappearance case eight years ago? You're the missing victim?! You want to sue the two adults who kidnapped you?! "
In his 20 years of working on cases, he had never seen a case like this. It was an adult victim who came to seek justice for her underage self!
"Yes, is there a problem?" Gu Nianzhi didn't hesitate to lay out the law.
"According to Article 239 of the Criminal Law, kidnapping a minor, using violence, coercion, or other methods to kidnap a minor is punishable by more than ten years of imprisonment or life imprisonment, and a fine or confiscation of property."
"Intentionally harming a kidnapped minor, causing serious injury or death, is punishable by life imprisonment or death, and all property will be confiscated."
"I was the minor who was kidnapped by them back then. They severely abused me, causing me serious injury and amnesia." Gu Nianzhi pointed to her head. "Recently, when I came back here, I was strongly stimulated by them again, and suddenly remembered what happened back then."
Inspector Chen looked at the evidence she had laid out and listened to her emotionally describe the "abuse" she had suffered when she was kidnapped. His eyes were red, and he choked out, "Miss, don't worry. We won't let any bad people go! — Guards! Request an arrest warrant! Go to the He family to arrest the suspect! "
Inspector Chen's subordinates: "!!!"
Go to the He family to arrest the suspect?!
Was the boss out of his mind?!
Gu Nianzhi turned around to look at her dumbfounded subordinates and said calmly, "The suspect is the He family's gardener."
"… Gardener?!" The police officers came back to their senses and immediately said loudly, "Yes, Inspector! Move out immediately! "
So they were going to arrest the gardener. They were really scared to death just now …
..
When Gu Nianzhi returned, she sat in the police car.
She took Cold Case's Inspector Chen and his subordinates.
Case's Inspector Chen and his subordinates brought an arrest warrant from the court and came to the worker's house where the He family's gardener lived.
Although it was called a worker's house, the suite with three bedrooms and two living rooms was more than 100 square meters. It was more spacious and luxurious than many apartment complexes in the imperial capital.
A police officer went up and knocked on the door. "May I ask if Wen Dayou and Liang Meili are here?"
The door opened, and Wen Shouyi was standing inside.
She looked at the police officer in front of her in surprise, and Gu Nianzhi, who was standing behind the police officer, with a puzzled look. "I'm Wen Shouyi, also a lawyer. May I ask why you are looking for my parents?"
