Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1731: It Was Me

“Wen Shouyi sent it to Qingying?” He Zhichu’s frown deepened. “Where did Wen Shouyi get the photo? Or was she following me? Did she know that I gave her parents’ hair and blood samples to you?”

The time and place shown in the photo was the exact afternoon when He Zhichu had sent Gu Nianzhi something.

Gu Nianzhi shrugged. “I’m not sure about that. I thought that once I caught the person who had taken the photo, I would be able to trace it back to Wen Shouyi.”

Following a pause, He Zhichu said, “Although the person who took the photo committed suicide, Wen Shouyi has the photo and forwarded it to Qingying. That’s enough evidence to investigate her.”

He Zhichu was also a barrister. Although he had joined the army, he had studied law for many years and had then gone to practice law in the opposite world. He was like Gu Nianzhi, who liked to think and act within the framework of the law.

Gu Nianzhi nodded. “That’s true. There’s a screenshot on cousin Xie’s phone. Even though she deleted it, there’s evidence in the phone’s cache that proves that she was the one who sent the photo.”

Without hesitation, He Zhichu switched his phone to his personal secretary’s number, after which he ordered coldly, “Tell the police that Wen Shouyi is a suspect and that the evidence is with Xie Qingying. Go to Miss Xie and get the evidence so that the police can file a case and apply to the judge for an arrest warrant. Search Wen Shouyi’s residence immediately.”

Upon hearing that, He Zhichu’s personal secretary began to act according to the instructions.

Not long after, He Zhichu had already walked to the front door of Gu Nianzhi’s apartment.

He looked up at the apartment block where Gu Nianzhi lived, then turned to look at the high-rise apartment where the person who had secretly taken the photo was. The suspicion he had had just now deepened, and his brows furrowed even more.

How did Gu Nianzhi find the location of the person who had secretly taken the photo based on a single photo?

He Zhichu was certain that there was no connection between the photo and the person’s location at all.

Unless he could do a mathematical modeling based on the direction of the photo and the direction of the light…

However, Gu Nianzhi’s ability in this area was not particularly outstanding.

She was good at law and computer programming, but superb mathematical modeling required a very deep mathematical foundation, especially advanced mathematics. It was not something that could be achieved by someone who only knew how to program.

He Zhichu’s heart skipped a beat, as if he had thought of something.

He Zhichu’s sparkling peach blossom eyes shone with an inexplicable light. He had decided to suddenly attack her.

He did not tell Gu Nianzhi that he was coming to see her, but the concierge’s property did not have the consent of the residents, and generally did not allow outsiders to enter.

However, He Zhichu took out his special military and police identification, and the concierge immediately opened the door.

“There’s a criminal case nearby. I’m here to take a look and hope that you can help with the investigation,” said He Zhichu calmly.

“Yes, sir. If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to let me know.” The concierge saluted he zhichu respectfully.

He Zhichu was wearing a military uniform. The tassel and star on his shoulder showed his military rank and status.

This property guy happened to be a veteran. When he saw he zhichu, he subconsciously saluted him.

Glancing at him, He Zhichu uttered a few words to him with a pleasant expression. He asked him which unit he used to be in, what kind of military service, and how long ago he retired from the army.

The property guy was so excited that his face was red.

The biggest officer he had dealt with before he had retired was only their company commander, only a first lieutenant.

He was now a major general!

“Well, do your job well and don’t embarrass the army.” He Zhichu finished speaking and walked towards the apartment where Gu Nianzhi lived with a smile.

The property guy had given him the elevator key cards of the nearby buildings to facilitate his investigation.

Although the real estate agent did not understand why the military officers wanted to investigate the case, He Zhichu understood the special military and police identification.

He Zhichu took the key card and leisurely walked around the neighborhood a few times.

He consciously avoided the direction of the surveillance cameras and quietly arrived at the floor below Gu Nianzhi’s apartment.

He opened the elevator with the key card and pressed the button to go to the floor of Gu Nianzhi’s apartment.

Soon, the elevator arrived at Gu Nianzhi’s floor and stopped.

The elevator door opened and He Zhichu, who was dressed in a crisp winter military uniform, walked out of the elevator.

He looked at the location of this floor and walked to a more hidden spot beside the elevator. He took out his phone and calmly called Gu Nianzhi. “Nianzhi, I found something at the scene. I wanted to tell you in person.”

Gu Nianzhi was still in Lu Jin’s lab.

He Zhichu had just hung up. She thought he had left.

He Zhichu picked up the phone and realized He Zhichu hadn’t left yet.

Gu Nianzhi subconsciously thought he was still waiting for her outside the apartment complex. She quickly said, “Then I’ll be right down. Wait for me for a while!”

“Okay.” With that, He Zhichu hung up, but his hand was still gripping his phone tightly. He felt nervous for no reason.

He did not know if his guess was correct, but Gu Nianzhi had shown some unusual clues that led him to the same conclusion.

Soon, the door of an apartment in the corridor opened, and Gu Nianzhi hurried out.

He Zhichu’s eyes flashed, for that was not the direction to Gu Nianzhi’s apartment.

Gu Nianzhi opened the door to her apartment across the street and went in to change.

She had just opened the door to her apartment when she looked up and saw He Zhichu standing at her door with a smile on his face.

Gu Nianzhi panicked for a moment, but he soon calmed down and said in surprise, “Young Master He, how did you get up here? !”

“I just got here.” He Zhichu waved his military and police identification at her. “With this, where can’t I go?”

“Good for you, young master he.” Gu Nianzhi smiled and said loudly on purpose.

Lu Jin was about to come out when he heard movement outside the door. He peeked through the peephole and saw the back of a tall man in military uniform.

From the back and military uniform, He Zhichu should be the one.

Lu Jin did not open the door and go out. Instead, he sent Gu Nianzhi a text message asking what was going on.

Gu Nianzhi heard the sound of a text message coming in from her phone. Without looking at her phone, she turned to the side to open the door. “Young master he, please come in.”

He Zhichu grinned as he entered the building.

Gu Nianzhi then quickly glanced at her phone and sent Lu Jin a message to reassure him.

Putting away her phone, Gu Nianzhi returned to the living room and asked he zhichu, “Young master he, what would you like to drink?”

He Zhichu sat on the sofa in the living room and said casually, “Other than milk, what else can you drink here?”

Gu Nianzhi giggled and said, “I have milk, juice, and water, as well as coffee, milk tea, and pu’er.”

“Then please give me a cup of black coffee, no sugar, no milk.”

“Okay, wait a moment.”

Gu Nianzhi went to the kitchen to make coffee and warmed herself a cup of milk. She also packed a plate of four blueberry muffins, which Lu Yuan baked personally.

She placed the coffee in front of He Zhichu and sat cross-legged on the sofa opposite he zhichu with the cup of milk in her hands. She asked casually, “What did you find at the scene, young master he?”

As He Zhichu took a sip of his coffee, he said calmly, “I found a problem. Nianzhi, how did you know the person’s location and address?”

Gu Nianzhi remained silent and smiled awkwardly.

She had been too anxious just now, so she hadn’t been able to cover up her lie.

But she hadn’t expected He Zhichu to realize this so quickly.

In her panic, Gu Nianzhi immediately said, “I figured it out! I used a computer to program a mathematical model…”

He Zhichu looked at her with a half-smile. His long legs were crossed, and his posture was relaxed. “You figured it out? You built a mathematical model yourself?”

His gaze seemed to see through everything, but it was not aggressive. He looked at her with tolerance, as if to say, “Make it up, keep making it up.”.

Gu Nianzhi could not make it up anymore, but she was not willing to be defeated by He Zhichu just like that.

She could not expose Lu Jin, not in this lifetime. She could only change the subject and barely maintain her dignity.

Gu Nianzhi avoided answering the question, she smiled and said, “Young master he, cousin Xie wasn’t too happy when she called me today to tell me about these two photos. Young master he, you should be careful too. You’re already in a relationship. How can you just casually come to another woman’s house? Especially since it’s the 15th of the first lunar month. You should accompany cousin Xie to see the lights.”

He zhichu scoffed and crossed his hands before his chest. He said coldly, “Are you another woman? I thought everyone knew that I already recognized you as my sister. As an older brother, can’t you come to your own sister’s House?”

“That’s hard to say…”Gu Nianzhi’s eyes darted around like two black mercury pills on a silver plate, “Besides, we’re not biological siblings, and we used to be engaged. You have to be considerate of Cousin Xie’s feelings, young master he.”

He Zhichu leaned back on the sofa and smiled. “I’m here on business. Qingying will understand. She’s not a narrow-minded woman, so why wouldn’t she be happy?”

“Why are you here on official business?” Gu Nianzhi picked up a blueberry muffin and took a bite, she said happily, “Congratulations for finding such a magnanimous woman like cousin Xie. If it were me, I’d be furious. You’re talking about me because you’re petty and jealous.”

He Zhichu seemed to be proud of himself.

As he stared at her, he thought, “That’s too horrendous for me…”

However, whether she was kind or narrow-minded was none of his business.

He Zhichu then put down the coffee cup in his hand and said calmly, “Okay, you’re good at changing the topic, but it does not work on me. Tell me, who did the mathematical modeling for you?”
