2021 The waiter

Gu Xin came to the table and sniffed the half-finished cup of tea. Suddenly, she realized that there was a handkerchief under the table with the word ” Yuan ” embroidered on one corner.

She didn’t pick it up. The book said that she couldn’t touch anything on the scene.

She suddenly realized that her observation was too one-sided. There might be other clues here. Suddenly, Gu Xin’s interest in solving the case was piqued and she looked around the house.

In addition to the footprints on the window and the handkerchief on the ground, she also found that there was something wrong with the wall of the house. The back that was covered by a painting was empty.

Since she couldn’t touch the things at the crime scene, she could go to the room next door to take a look.

Hence, Gu Xin went to the room next door and confirmed that there was a painting hanging on the same wall as the one at the murder scene. There was another painting there, but it was crooked.

“Take down this painting and then push the wall hard,” she called a bailiff over.

The bailiff was speechless.

Gu Xin: ” don’t just stand there. Go ahead and push it. I told you to do it. If there’s anything wrong, tell your boss to look for me.

The bailiff stepped forward and took down the painting.

Gu Xin stepped forward and knocked on the wall. It was indeed empty. She then stepped aside and let the guards push her.

With this push, it only loosened a little.

The bailiff was dumbfounded.

Gu Xin, use more strength.

The bailiff’s face turned red. Although Princess Xinxin is very powerful, I’m a bailiff of the capital governor’s manor. Unlike others who rely on connections, I was selected through my own strength.

Thus, he used his greatest strength.

This hole was big enough for a small person to pass through. A tall or thin person could also pass through.

Gu Xin came to the table in the room and looked at the foot of the table. There was dust and traces of movement. There was also half a shoe print on the table.

She couldn’t help but speculate that li Yuyan wasn’t the murderer. The murderer had knocked li Yuyan out, killed Xiao Cui, and placed the box in li Yuyan’s hands. Then, he left a footprint on the window and entered the room next door through the hole in the wall.

In this case, the door of the crime scene was locked. When the investigators saw the footprints, they would think that the person had escaped through the window. No one would have thought that second Bai was just opposite the window and did not see the person escape.

In terms of time, they had arrived at the opposite side of the street. Li Yuyan and second Bai were there. Then, they slowly crossed the street, exchanged a few words downstairs, and went upstairs.

Just as she was crossing the street, li Yuyan entered her room and passed out after drinking some tea.

When she went upstairs, the murderer was still in the room next door.

After she entered the room, Dongxue was standing outside the door, so the murderer couldn’t have escaped.

After that, she talked to second Bai and Li Yuyan. Then, Dongxue and the waiter argued.

It was very likely that the waiter did not come up from downstairs, but from the room next door.

If he had really come out from the next room and turned to this room to ask about the situation anxiously, Dongxue would have thought that he had come up from downstairs.

That’s right, that’s very likely the case.

Fortunately, she had asked the innkeeper to leave all the work behind in time. Otherwise, where would she find the waiter if he ran away?

Gu Xin knocked on the walls of the room again. Other than the room next door, the other parts of the room were solid and intact.

She was getting more and more convinced that it was the waiter.

She had the Yamen runners keep an eye on the room as well, and then she went downstairs.
