The rain has been light, and the drizzle is like thin silk. Against the background of the lights, it floats obliquely and densely, trapping everything in heaven and earth.
Dong Ming is dead.
The beach under him was stained with blood, like a strange brocade picture.
Mu took shelter from the rain.
"Let me see." He untied the rope that bound her hands.
Gu Qingzhou's bright wrists like congealed fat make blue and purple marks.
It hurts.
The coarse hemp rope was tightened and relieved of bursts of burning pain.
Simula held on, trying to check the injury.
Gu Qingzhou pulled back his hand: "it doesn't hurt!"
When she said this, her eyebrows were cold, and she refused Sima thousands of miles.
They can work together. A little closer, Gu Qingzhou immediately flinched.
Si Mu also let go.
"After the simplest thing is done, there is still a hard battle to fight." Si Mu looked at the figure walking in the distance, and the adjutants were dealing with the aftermath, he said slowly.
In this kidnapping case, killing is indeed the simplest thing.
Si Mu has been in the German Military Academy for five years and has excellent shooting skills.
The sky was dark, with only thin light and a long distance. Dong Ming is familiar with shooting. Only when he is sure that they can't hurt him can he dare to be so careless.
As a result, simu accurately hit him on the forehead!
This shooting technique is almost equal to that of Si Xingpei.
"Yes." Gu Qingzhou rubbed his wrist and whispered.
Her clothes were soaked, and she was covered with the large military cloak handed to her by her adjutant.
Clothes drowned her delicate body, and she looked very small.
Gu Qingzhou is very cold.
With wet hair and wet clothes, she was shivering with cold in this chilly spring night. I hope the adjutants will deal with it quickly.
As Si Mu said, shooting Dong Ming is the simplest step in this matter. It kills the most annoying people in one shot, even a little happy.
But Dong Ming is not a nobody. He also has a father with a strong background.
If there is no evidence and the aftermath work is not perfect, Dong Ming's death will cause an uproar.
"Young Marshal, young lady, it has been handled." Adjutant Wang came in and said.
Gu Qingzhou nodded.
Si Mu said, "very good. Go to the newspaper and the police station. We're still waiting."
Seeing Gu Qingzhou trembling a little, his face was pale, and his lips were not half bloody, Si Mu was very worried.
He was ready to ask a concerned question. He thought of her indifference and his mind for her, and swallowed it again.
Gu Qingzhou saw his desire to speak and said, "I'm fine, but it's a little cold."
Simu was also wet through.
The military uniform under the raincoat is also half wet. It can't keep out the cold at all. It's no use taking it off to Gu Qingzhou.
"You can go back soon." Si Mu comforted her.
This wait is an hour.
Gu Qingzhou's whole person seemed to be immersed in cold water, stiff with cold.
The police came, and so did the reporters.
After taking photos, the people in the police station carried Dong Ming and other bodies away.
"Young Marshal, you are surprised." The director was sweating and said to Si mu.
Si mu Lengjun: "it's the young lady who is frightened, not me!"
The director hurriedly comforted Gu Qingzhou.
Gu Qingzhou didn't want to exchange greetings, waved his hand and said, "it doesn't hurt. Go back first."
After driving for an hour and a half, Gu Qingzhou and Si Mu finally returned to the new house at more than 11 p.m.
She told the servant to prepare hot water.
The water temperature was very high. Gu Qingzhou's skin was white with hot, and her meridians began to live. The bath also sweated.
The maid cooked ginger soup again and sent it to Gu Qingzhou's room.
Gu Qingzhou said, "light the fireplace."
The fireplace has been closed since early February.
The maid said yes, went to the warehouse again, found the silver charcoal and lit the fireplace.
Gu Qingzhou sat in front of the fire, surrounded by a cashmere blanket, baking and drinking ginger soup. His nose was soon covered with sweat.
Simu came over.
Gu Qingzhou joked, "make a bet?"
"What are you betting on?" Si Mu didn't understand. He also carried a cup of ginger soup in his hand to drive away the cold.
"Bet you can't sleep tonight." Gu Qingzhou road.
As soon as her voice fell, the telephone in the living room suddenly rang, and the bell rang loudly, shaking people's eardrums.
Simu picked up the phone.
"Young Marshal, come quickly. Marshal Dong surrounded the police hall with people." The other party said anxiously.
Si Mu said, "don't act rashly. I'll be right there."
He raised his eyebrows and looked at the boat.
Gu Qingzhou smiles.
"I'll go and have a look first." Si Mu Dao.
Gu Qingzhou said, "be careful."
Si Mu has a plan in mind.
Dong Jinxuan, with his wife, the remaining two sons, and hundreds of attendants, surrounded the police hall, especially Dong Zhong, the second son of the Dong family, pointed a gun at the director.
The director shivered.
"What's going on?" Si Mu walked in with a cold attitude.
Dong Jinxuan's family looked at Si mu with red eyes.
"Young Marshal, the dog was shot and killed by your people at the dock. Do you want to explain this to me?" Dong Jinxuan seemed to grow old at once, and his voice trembled.
Sima said, "my men didn't kill me."
Sophistry!
Dong Jinxuan and Mrs. Dong's eyes were full of angry anger, as if they were going to tear Si Mu apart.
Si Mu denied it!
Dong Ming's death must have something to do with Si Mu!
When Dong Jinxuan was going to say something, he heard Si Mu continue: "I killed it myself."
The scene was suddenly silent.
The breathing of Dong Jinxuan and Mrs. Dong seemed to condense for a moment. Their eyes were empty and confused, looking at Si mu.
The emptiness was just a flash, and their whole family looked like a beast with red eyes.
In particular, Dong Zhong and Dong Yang brothers jumped up and wanted to kill Si Mu to pay for his life.
"You killed my big brother, I'll fight with you!"
"What kind of thing are you? How dare you ignore human life? You don't want to go out alive today!"
The adjutant of the military government immediately loaded the bullet and aimed it at the Dong family.
The attendants of the Dong family showed no weakness.
The scene became chaotic.
"Stop!" Dong Jinxuan was the first to recover. He was about to fight. He immediately scolded and stopped his two sons first.
Dong Jinxuan stepped forward and stood his fat body in front of Si mu. His speech was not so smooth. He said word by word: "Young Marshal, why do you poison the dog?"
Mrs. Dong was so angry that she couldn't say a word. She bit her lips so hard that she didn't cry.
"I didn't poison him. Dong Ming kidnapped Mrs. Shao and shot four adjutants around her. Four people died on the spot. He still wanted to kill me. I was just defending myself!" Si Mu's eyebrows were cold, and his expression never moved.
"Self defense?" Mrs. Dong finally couldn't help but cry in her sharp voice, "you killed my son!"
"Your son kidnapped my wife and killed four of my adjutants! One life is worth one life, he still owes me three lives, and the attempted murder of my wife!" Si Mu's voice suddenly turned fierce.
The atmosphere became tense again.
Dong Jinxuan's family looked at Si mu, and Si Mu showed no weakness.
Finally, the Dong family temporarily took back Dong Ming's body, and then sued Si Mu to the Nanjing Military Justice Department.
Five senior officials from the Military Justice Department, with their secretaries, took a special train to Yuecheng overnight.
Si Mu didn't go home until the morning of the 21st. Gu Qingzhou had slept soundly all night.
"How?" Gu Qingzhou is very concerned about progress.
"The people in Nanjing have arrived, contracted the five countries Hotel and set up a temporary military court in the five countries hotel." Si Mu Dao.
Gu Qingzhou smiled: "the good play is about to start."
Si Mu said, "you have to appear in court, too."
Gu Qingzhou is the party, and Dong Ming kidnapped her. Naturally, she wants to testify for Si mu in court.
"When will the trial begin?" Gu Qingzhou asked again.
Si Mu said, "this afternoon!"
It's urgent.
Dong Jinxuan was personally sent by the president to Yuecheng to take over the Yuecheng Navy. His son was shot by Si mu, which is of great importance.
Moreover, Yuecheng's newspapers have begun to report the matter on a large scale.
"Young Marshal Si Mu is very popular this year."
"Si Mu's affairs have not been settled one after another. Is he capable or incompetent?"
"Dong Ming kidnapped the young lady of the Secretary's family. Isn't he reconciled after being dumped?"
"Can you be reconciled?"
Gossip was rife.
At that time, Gu Qingzhou was also photographed by reporters at the wharf.
In the picture, she is a little embarrassed, but her eyes are cold and firm, raising her chin high and slightly proud.
The court session is held in the afternoon. No one is allowed to enter.
Gu Qingzhou is the only remaining party.
The hall was very spacious, but in the empty room, only five officers of the military and legal department sat side by side, and behind them sat four recording secretaries.
On the left sat four members of the Dong family.
Gu Qingzhou and Si Mu sat directly to the right.
The periphery is full of adjutants, armed with live ammunition.
"Mrs. Si, please state it first." The Secretary said.
Gu Qingzhou sat on the chair opposite the officers.
"... when I came out of the medicine shop, the driver suddenly stopped and said he accidentally hit someone. As a result, the car stopped and I was kidnapped by Dong Ming." Gu Qingzhou road.
She started from the beginning with the reason why Dong Ming kidnapped her.
Dong Ming blames her for ruining his relationship with Si Fangfei and explains Mrs. Dong's trouble again.
All the people in the Military Justice Department looked at Mrs. Dong: Mrs. Dong is the root cause of the resentment between Dong Ming and the Secretary's family.
Mrs. Dong's face was even more pale. She's just afraid she's going to be more notorious.
Because of Mrs. Dong, Dong Ming broke up with Si Fangfei and became enemies with Gu Qingzhou. Even if Mrs. Dong didn't kill her son himself, her son died because of her. What would others say about her?
Mrs. Dong's lips were pale.
"He wants to take me to Nanyang and say he wants to sell me to the lowest prostitute, making my life worse than death. He also says he has arranged a plan to prove that I eloped with him." Gu Qingzhou road.
Gu Qingzhou was knocked unconscious and bruised behind his neck; She was tied and bruised on her wrists and ankles.
Gu Qingzhou's testimony shows that Si Mu is innocent.
She retreated and it was the Dong family's turn to testify.
Dong Jinxuan straightened his clothes and stood up: "gentlemen, this woman is full of nonsense! I have human and material evidence. She asked Dong Ming to elope and even forced Dong Ming. Her husband caught Dong Ming and shot him in jealousy. It was the couple who jointly killed Dong Ming!"
Several officers whispered.
Si Mu and Gu Qingzhou did not move, but they listened in silence.
They are confident.
