Wen Rulan smiled and said, "I thought that you, a greedy cat, must have been very hard-working these past two days, so I cooked some food for you. It is said that delicious food can replenish your energy."

Chu Yunxi happily took the food box, "Thank you, Senior Brother. Let me see what's in it."

The food box was opened, and a fragrant aroma wafted out. Chu Yunxi cheered and took out the delicacies one by one. There were crab meat lion head, eight-treasure pumpkin, honey chicken wings, stir-fried pork with taro, and a fruit sweet soup.

"Senior Brother, you really understand me." Chu Yunxi invited everyone to sit down and eat together. These delicacies were really to Chu Yunxi's taste. She ate to her heart's content. Infected by her, Xiao Mubei's mood also improved a lot.

After an entire afternoon of inquiries, news about Dou Yian gradually came back in the evening.

Li Jinghong hurried back to the Dali Temple and went directly to Xiao Mubei's study to report, "I never expected that Liu Guizhi was not Dou Yian's first wife, but the third. It is said that Dou Yian's first two wives also committed suicide."

"What?" Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi were both stunned. After what happened to Liu Guizhi, no one believed that his first two wives committed suicide.

"When did all these things happen?" Chu Yunxi asked.

"One was three years ago, and the other was a year and a half ago," Li Jinghong was also shocked. When he listened to the report from the detective today, he couldn't help but want to rush directly to Dou Yian's home and arrest him.

"Have you found out about Liu Guizhi's parents?"

"I found out," Li Jinghong said, "Liu Guizhi's father is a businessman who runs a furniture store with Liu Guizhi's mother. It is said that the business is good and the family is well-off. Liu Guizhi is also the legitimate daughter of the family."

Chu Yunxi was surprised: "Why would such a family marry their daughter to a man who already has two wives? Both wives committed suicide, but they still married their daughter to him. What were they thinking?"

"I heard that she was deceived by the matchmaker," Li Jinghong asked around in the afternoon and already knew most of the story. "I heard that the matchmaker praised Dou Yian as a rare talent in heaven and earth, saying that he was honest, talented, hardworking, and humble. In short, she praised him in every possible way and never mentioned that he had been married twice. It happened that Liu Guizhi was already nineteen years old at the time, and her parents were anxious. They didn't go to inquire in person, but believed the matchmaker's words and decided on this marriage. Unexpectedly, they pushed their daughter into a fire pit."

It is true that men are afraid of choosing the wrong career and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. If you choose the wrong husband, you may lose your life.

As he was talking, a constable ran over and said breathlessly, "Dou Yian wants to escape."

Several people in the study stood up, and Xiao Mubei made a prompt decision, "Immediately take Dou Yian to the Dali Temple for interrogation. Li Shaoqing, take people to search his home and his shop to see if there is anything suspicious."

The constable and Li Jinghong both went there. Chu Yunxi said worriedly, "I'm afraid he has destroyed all those things. Since he wants to escape, it proves that he knows he can't hide. Why would he leave things for us to search?"

"We can only search and see. There is always a loophole."

After a while, Dou Yian was taken back to the Dali Temple and taken to the interrogation room in the prison. Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi were already waiting for him there.

As soon as Dou Yian was pushed into the interrogation room, he looked confused. When he saw Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi, he immediately knelt down and crawled over, saying in panic: "My Lord, Princess, what happened? Why did you bring me here?"

"Dou Yian, why don't you tell me the truth about how you killed your wife Liu Guizhi?" Xiao Mubei said in a low voice, exuding the oppressive feeling of a superior, which made Dou Yian feel under great pressure.

But he still opened his eyes wide in horror, "What did you say, Your Majesty? How could I kill Guizhi? She is my wife."

What a good actor! Chu Yunxi secretly despised him and heard Xiao Mubei ask, "Why did you run away if you didn't kill anyone?"

Xiao Mubei pointed to the bundle thrown at the door of the interrogation room. It had been opened and was filled with gold and silver jewelry, as well as a few sets of clean clothes.

Dou Yian looked at the bundle, then at Xiao Mubei, and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, I am wronged. I am not running away. I am planning to go to the farm in the suburbs to call my parents back to handle the funeral."

"Do you need to bring so much gold and silver to go to a farm in the suburbs?"

Dou Yian stammered, "I...my family's money is all stored in a farm outside the city. I brought these valuables with me just to store them in the farm."

Xiao Mubei slammed the table and said, "Dou Yian, do you think I'm easy to fool?"

Dou Yian kowtowed hastily, "I dare not, but everything I said is true."

Unexpectedly, he was so stubborn. Chu Yunxi signaled Xiao Mubei to let her do it, so she stood up and slowly paced in front of Dou Yian. After a while, she said, "Dou Yian, you are Liu Guizhi's husband, so you must know that Liu Guizhi's body is covered with needle holes." She leaned down and whispered in Dou Yian's ear, "Even in her private parts, can you tell me what's going on?"

"This..." Dou Yian didn't dare to look up, and could only say: "I really don't know. I haven't had sex with my wife for a long time."

Full of lies, Chu Yunxi checked and found that Liu Guizhi had been abused at least a day ago, "So what you mean is that your wife cheated on you?"

Chu Yunxi looked at Dou Yian with a half-smile. He still didn't dare to look up, and the sweat on his forehead dripped to the ground. "I really don't know. If my wife really did something to let me down, she is dead now, and I don't want to care about it."

It was really watertight. Chu Yunxi couldn't help but admire him. "I didn't expect you to be so magnanimous. In fact, you know very well that your wife didn't cheat on you at all, so you said this calmly, right? Then let me ask you again, you said your wife committed suicide twice, how did she commit suicide, and where were you when she committed suicide?"

Dou Yian raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said, "The first time was five days ago. She cut her wrists at home and bled a lot. I was chopping wood in the yard. I didn't hear her voice for a long time, so I went into the house to check. I was scared and I quickly pressed the wound for her. It took a long time for the bleeding to stop. She finally saved her life. The second time was at the artificial lake. Actually, she didn't fall into the water by accident. She pushed me away and jumped in. It was thanks to the prince that he asked the two knights to rescue her. Otherwise, I'm afraid my wife would have died that time."
