Chapter 2859 Case Facts
The group had a great conversation and didn't leave until nearly nine o'clock in the evening.

He Xiaoyue and Guo Xier returned to the dormitory, exhausted and excited, unable to sleep at all. They originally lived next door to each other, so they simply gathered in He Xiaoyue's room to chat and discuss their future careers. For a while, Guo Xier found that she had such bizarre and rebellious thoughts as "It's good to stay in Wanzi Pavilion like this" and "Liu Yuanlao is just an ordinary man".

As the time was getting later, the two finally felt a little sleepy and were about to go to sleep when the dormitory manager knocked on the door and said that someone from Wan Zi Pavilion had come.

"What's the matter?" He Xiaoyue asked in surprise. Wan Zi Pavilion is not a department store. It closes at 6pm. It's already past 10pm. What could be the important matter? Even if there is, she should go to the manager. Why go to the designers?
Suddenly, an ominous omen came to my mind. Could it be...

"Is it Su Niang..." Guo Xier was also called while wearing clothes.

He Xiaoyue was panicking: Could it be that Zhou Suniang had escaped to Wanzi Pavilion at night? She was her client, so the attendant sent someone to look for them.

"Probably." He Xiaoyue whispered, "Whether it is or not, don't say anything until I say something!"

Although I don’t know what the specific matter is, calling them over late at night must be no small matter.

After changing clothes in a hurry, it was already late at night and the streets were deserted. The two of them felt a little timid, but fortunately, the attendant who came out of the street light had called three rickshaws, and they got on the rickshaws and hurried to the direction of Wanzi Pavilion.

When we returned to Wanzi Pavilion, the manager on duty had already come out to greet us, looking terrified.

"What's the matter?" He Xiaoyue asked before she could put down her bag.

"The aunt of the Qu family..." the manager on duty whispered.

"Zhou Suniang?!" Although she had guessed it almost right, He Xiaoyue was still shocked.

However, when he walked in, he found that the person standing in the room was not Zhou Suniang, but several policemen.

An ominous premonition gripped her heart. The leading policeman saw her coming in and showed his ID:
"We are from the Lingao Police Station. We have a case that requires your cooperation in the investigation."

"Okay..." He Xiaoyue calmed down a little, "Let's go to the reception room to talk."

The police did not object, and the group entered the reception room. Guo Xier originally wanted to slip away, but she didn't expect that she was also on the inquiry list. She was smart at this time, and quickly winked at the manager on duty and whispered, "Call!"

After entering the reception room, the police came straight to the point and said that a "murder case" had occurred in the Qu family.

"Is it Su Niang?!" Although He Xiaoyue had just told Guo Xier "not to talk nonsense", she still blurted out when she heard the news.

"You know her?"

"I know her. She is an important customer of our store." He Xiaoyue thought there was nothing to be shy about, so she gave a brief account of the dealings between Su Niang and the store.

"Has she done anything strange recently?" the police officer stared into He Xiaoyue's eyes. "Such as any behavior or words that violate the norm?"

He Xiaoyue told the police everything about how she had secretly come to the store and asked to contact Wu Xinsheng. The police listened very attentively and wrote something in their notebooks from time to time.

"Is this Master Wu in the store now?"

"Yes, he recently came to Lingao on a business trip. He is staying at the Jinguang Hotel..."

"Please send someone to invite him over as well."

It was an invitation, but in reality there was no room for negotiation. The manager on duty immediately asked a janitor to go and fetch someone.

Then he questioned Guo Xier and others. Seeing that the questioning was over, He Xiaoyue couldn't help but ask: "Police...Comrade, Su Niang, what happened to her?"

The policeman hesitated for a moment. He already knew that there was a "key person" in the store before he went on the mission: "I can't reveal the details of the case, but Zhou Suniang you mentioned is a suspect..."

The three words "suspect" were like thunderbolts that struck He Xiaoyue. "Murder case" and "suspect" were two words that made her know what happened. She didn't expect things to develop to this point. Although she didn't know the specific reason and who was killed, if she had been a matchmaker for her and let her meet Wu Xinsheng, maybe this wouldn't have happened. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel regret and hatred. If she had forced Zhou Suniang to become a murderer for the sake of doing business, she would never forgive herself.

She originally wanted to ask for more details, but the servant outside came to report: Wu Xinsheng was called.

He Xiaoyue originally wanted to wait until the police left before asking Wu Xinsheng for information, but she didn't expect that the police did not question him in Wanzi Pavilion, but took Wu Xinsheng away directly.

Guo Xier was stunned, and waited until the police left before she whispered, "Sister Xiaoyue! Could this be an adulterous couple conspiring to murder someone?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" He Xiaoyue trembled all over, "Can you expect others to do you a favor?!"

"Yes, yes," Guo Xier stuck out her tongue, "But the police arrested Xinsheng brother..."

"They just called him in for questioning, but they didn't arrest him."

Guo Xier was about to say something else when the manager on duty came over and said that a staff member from the General Office had just called back and asked what was going on.

"I'll go talk to him myself." Guo Xier said hurriedly and ran away.

He Xiaoyue thought that this was a good channel. She grabbed Guo Xier's arm and whispered, "Ask them to find out what's going on."

In the next few days, both of them lost interest and stopped going shopping and eating after work. They just ate something and went back to the dormitory to rest. Of course, Zhou Suniang's case was always mentioned in their conversation.

There was no news about the case. Not only was Zhou Suniang missing, but even Wu Xinsheng hadn't returned either.

Although Guo Xier asked the General Office to inquire about the matter, Liu Xiang was not in Linggao at the moment, so it was not an easy task to inquire about the matter, and no news came for a while.

In the past few days, they received a new order: a wealthy family moved from Zhejiang to Lingao and settled down here, and they wanted to make clothes for all the women in the family, especially the latest "Australian new models". He Xiaoyue and Guo Xier were also assigned VIP customers for corresponding services, and they became busy again.

After a few days of confusion, the two did not get any news, and gradually put the matter aside from their hearts - after all, Zhou Suniang had no relatives or friends with them, and they did not have any special friendship. But when they mentioned her on weekdays, they always sighed.

This day was the "fourteenth day". According to the Senate's regulations, there were two days off each month. Businesses were free to decide on specific dates, while government departments were fixed to have holidays on the first and fifteenth day of each month. Although Wan Zi Pavilion was a commercial unit, it was a "state-owned enterprise" and Xiao Gui Cao Sui also had these two days off.

The end of every month and the fourteenth day of every month are the "weekends" under the rule of the Senate. If there is no urgent work, most companies and units can eat as they please after lunch. He and Guo were busy for half a month, and during this period they encountered Zhou Suniang's incident. Both of them were nervous and exhausted.

They originally planned to rest in the dormitory for a day, but unexpectedly, when they went to the mailbox to pick up the mail, they received a postcard. It was sent by Chen Shixin, inviting them to visit the Coconut Grove Photo Studio the next day.

When they received the postcard, they remembered the invitation and decided to go to the appointment the next day just to relax.

"Sign up!" Huang Yaomin called out to the intern, "The medicines sent by the chemical plant have arrived. Go sign for them!"

"Okay, Master!" The young man in "cadre uniform" jumped down from the ladder briskly and trotted to the back.

"Be careful not to fall!" Huang Yaomin shouted, and in his heart he admired Chen Shixin very much - who doesn't like a young person who responds to calls and is nimble and quick?
Since he came to intern, my burden has been reduced a lot. And the other party is not an apprentice I personally trained, but a serious propaganda "worker". What work enthusiasm! What awareness!
Thinking of this, he looked at his senior apprentice, who was wiping the counter and equipment like an old cow, with a bit of resentment: he was hardworking, but unfortunately his reaction was a little slow. His IQ was also low. What on earth was he thinking to recruit him as his apprentice?

As for the second apprentice, who was relatively smart, he was also a sly one. When he was doing a lot of dirty and tiring work before the opening of the business, he found an excuse to go on a "business trip".

Huang Yuanlao is one of the few artists in the Senate. Before he traveled through time, he was a TV worker, working at a TV station in Guangdong, doing camera work and post-production. After working for a while, he found that the golden rice bowl of the TV station was gradually running out of rice. The programs he participated in producing had no ratings at all. So he considered horizontal development, taking private jobs under the name of the TV station, tricking parents of children to participate in training and perform on the Spring Festival Gala. He made a lot of money. Unexpectedly, something went wrong later, and a group of parents sued him. With nowhere else to go, he had no choice but to run away.

After crossing over, he could only serve as a basic laborer at the beginning, and became a bystander after the situation opened up - after all, making TV programs and establishing a TV station were too far away. And now the broadcasting field has been launched, but to be honest, he is not familiar with it.

Fortunately, his mentality has become peaceful, and he usually teaches art part-time at Trini's place. After his photography skills were initially restored, he became a photographer and took several apprentices. In his spare time, he went out to collect materials, taking pictures of the bustling construction scenes in Lingao and the lives of the citizens, and submitted them to newspapers and magazines. The Executive Committee chose him to be the head of the Coconut Grove Photo Studio. Although it was inevitable that he was "wasting his talent", it was more to explore the business model of commercial photo studios, open photo studios in Guangzhou and other places in the future, and use some photos to more intuitively show the superiority of life in Lingao to the people of the Ming Dynasty, and accelerate the process of "changing from the Han to the Han".

He refused at first, but after the commercial department sent him a project plan for private photography, Huang Yuanlao surrendered.
