The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

The moment Gu Jianchu finished speaking, Wu and Guo Wu looked at him in confusion at the same time, unable to react to Gu Jianchu's words for a moment.

Dou Wen reacted quickly.

After all, they had just taken on such a case.

He knew Wu, an honest and decent woman who didn't seem like the type to steal a man. Wu also claimed that she didn't steal a man, and the baby in her belly came in strange circumstances, so there was only one possibility: someone took advantage of her inattention and broke into their house and raped Wu.

Wu boldly asked, "What do you mean, Queen?"

Gu Jianchu smiled gently, "To put it simply, someone took advantage of him being out on the boat and raped you when you weren't paying attention. Otherwise, since you didn't commit adultery, this kid wouldn't come here for no reason."

"How is this possible?" Wu and Guo Wu said almost in unison.

Gu Jianchu's smile deepened, but it didn't reach his eyes. He looked at Dou Cong, who was hiding in the corner with a guilty conscience, and asked, "So you cheated on me?"

Guo Wu immediately looked at Wu fiercely.

Wu hurriedly shook her head, "No, Queen, I swear that if I were to have an affair, I would be struck by lightning."

"Then Guo Wu drugged you and sent you to another man's bed?"

Guo Wu was so frightened that he quickly shook his head, "Impossible, a commoner would never do such a thing."

"Then eliminating the two impossible factors, the greatest possibility is that you were raped while unconscious." Gu Jianchu helped the two of them analyze the situation, straightened his clothes and sat down.

The two still had expressions of disbelief on their faces, obviously not having recovered from this statement.

"Yunhe, take your men to the two men's homes and search them carefully to see if the murderer has left any useful clues." Gu Jianchu gave the order in a cold voice.

Yunhe immediately took people from the Dali Temple to search Guo Wu's house next door.

Xie Ci'an leaned back in the armchair, watching the queen handle the matter with ease.

"Anyone who can do such a thing must not be someone far away. He must be someone who lives near you. Wu, think carefully about it. Have you encountered any sneaky people or suspicious people hanging around near your house?" Gu Jianchu fiddled with the teacup on the table.

Wu stared at Gu Jianchu blankly, her mind slowly recalling the past. After a moment, Wu shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, I rarely go out on weekdays, but I haven't encountered any suspicious people."

[After all, Dou Cong is the son of the Dali Temple Minister. These two people will not suspect Dou Cong at all. Forget it, let's wait for Yunhe to collect evidence.]

[As long as we can lead the spearhead to Dou Cong, we can search Dou Cong. Dou Cong's room has a lot of good things hidden.]

Xie Ci'an stared at the queen helplessly and rubbed his brows.

Looking at the queen's malicious smile, you can tell that this is definitely not a normal or good thing.

Guo Wu seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly got up from the ground and looked around. Just when everyone was confused, Guo Wu grabbed the jade belt he had just accidentally dropped and handed it to Gu Jianchu. "Your Majesty, this is something I accidentally found under the bed at home. It doesn't belong to me or my wife. Maybe it belongs to that adulterer..."

In the middle of his words, Guo Wu seemed to realize something and immediately changed his words, "Maybe it was something left behind by that evil guy."

Zhuxi naturally stepped forward to take the jade belt and handed it to Gu Jianchu. "Your Majesty, feel that the material of the jade belt is the finest brocade. Many shops in the capital will make brocade from the waste materials they cut off. This brocade is a very common item."

"Although it is common, ordinary people probably can't afford this kind of brocade jade belt." Zhu Xi added.

When Zhuxi was speaking, Gu Jianchu's gaze naturally turned to Dou Cong who was not far away. He saw that Dou Cong's face was extremely ugly, and his eyes kept rolling around, as if he was thinking about the whereabouts of his jade belt. Because of nervousness, his fingers were tightly grasping the corner of his clothes.

The Dou Mansion's housekeeper standing nearby narrowed his brows and leaned forward to take a look. "This jade belt looks familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere."

"Then can you remember where else you have seen him?" Gu Jianchu asked casually.

The housekeeper scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I just have some impression of it. I am old now and can't remember where I have seen it."

"Zhu Xia, take someone to a shop that can make this kind of jade belt and ask who is selling it and who it was sold to." Gu Jianchu fiddled with the teacup with his fingers, a faint smile on his face. "Brocade is already rare, and there must not be many shops that can make jade belts out of it."

Zhu Xia immediately took the people from the Dali Temple to the nearby shops to interrogate them.

Considering that Wu was pregnant, Gu Jianchu asked someone to let her sit.

A moment later, Yun Hexian returned with his men. "Madam Guo Wu's house was very clean. We didn't find anything useful, but we did find some traces of burning spices in a corner."

Gu Jianchu waved his hand, and Yunhe naturally delivered the spices to Guo Wu and Wu.

Wu immediately shook her head in confusion, "Your Majesty, I don't have the habit of burning incense."

At Gu Jianchu's glance, Doctor Lin immediately stepped forward to examine the remaining incense. "It's a special kind of drug. Once used, it puts the person into a deep sleep. No matter what happens, they won't feel anything. When they wake up the next day, they'll just feel like they slept soundly. This drug is commonly used by thieves to knock the owner unconscious, so no matter what they stole, they won't even know."

Mrs. Wu thought about it carefully and said, "I was indeed like this for a while. I slept very soundly at night and the quality of my sleep was also very good."

"But it didn't happen often, just every now and then, so I didn't think much of it."

Thinking that someone had broken into her house and drugged her, Wu felt a pang of fear in her heart and her body couldn't help but shudder.

Guo Wu punched the ground in anger, blood instantly appearing on his knuckles. "Who is bullying my wife like this? If I find out, I will make him die miserably."

Dou Cong behind him shuddered again.

Yun He's voice continued, "Your Majesty, we checked the area around Guo Wu's courtyard. There were no signs of climbing in, nor any signs of forced entry through the gate, and even the keyholes were intact. However, we did find a suspicious dog hole in Guo Wu's house. I had someone try, but it's impossible for an adult male to get through. Furthermore, on the other side of this dog hole is Young Master Dou's courtyard."

[It's certainly impossible to drill an adult male, but Dou Cong is small and his body has been flexible since childhood, which is why everyone ignores him.]

Hearing this, Dou Cong breathed a sigh of relief.

Without waiting for him to catch his breath, Gu Jianchu continued, "Have you tried a smaller man?"
