2154 Chapter 2154-discovery

Gu Xin stopped and instructed he gang. he gang, bring a few men and search all the rooms in this courtyard. Don’t miss a single corner!

“Yes!” He gang cupped his fists.

He called for a few people and started to search the yard.

The mansion of the king of Donglin was very large. For someone like Bai Shijie, who was raised as an heir, the place he lived was second only to the main courtyard of the king of Donglin and the residence of the first branch’s Crown Prince and wife.

Gu Xin brought he Qiang into the room where Bai Shijie was.

This was Bai Shijie’s study room. Bai Shijie’s corpse was in the inner room of his study room, which was usually a place for people to rest when they were tired.

Just as he gang had said, Bai Shijie’s death was a little strange. His back was arched, but his head was raised. His eyes were wide open as if he had seen something unbelievable.

However, he wasn’t lying down. Instead, he was leaning against the side of the bed, and his eyes were facing the ceiling.

Gu Xin stepped forward and examined the corpse. She then asked Constable Gao to bring the corpse out with his men. Zheng Qiu was already waiting outside.

There was spilled tea on the ground, as well as a few messy footprints. The weather was hot, and the water stains on the ground were almost dry.

Gu Xin squatted down, picked up a tea leaf and sniffed it.

Then, he asked he gang to put away the tea leaves on the ground.

She walked around the room. Other than the spilled tea on the floor, the rest of the room was very clean and tidy.

The thin blanket was also folded properly.

There was a window on the right side of the bed. Gu Xin walked over and looked out. Through the oil lamp in the courtyard, she could see a small pond outside. The Lotus leaves in the pond were flourishing and the Lotus flowers had buds too, but none of them had bloomed yet.

Gu Xin’s eyesight was quite good. When the person who brought the food arrived, it was already night time. There were lights everywhere in the courtyard, so she could see clearly.

Gu Xin remembered that she saw a few ponds in the king’s residence today. Some of them had lotus flowers, while some did not.

As she was thinking about this, her hand naturally rested on the window. Suddenly, she felt a little uncomfortable.

She looked down and saw that the window was made of wood. The surroundings were fine, but the piece she touched seemed to have been touched by something hard. It was uneven and the wood chips had pierced her.

She turned around and took a lamp to the window. She took a closer look. Not only were there wood shavings, but there was also ink on them.

Gu Xin noted this down.

She took another look at the inner room and found nothing else. Then, she jumped out of the window.

Standing outside the window, she turned back to get a lamp and walked all the way to the pond.

“Third miss.” At this moment, Constable Gao walked over, thinking that Gu Xin had discovered something.

“Constable Gao, send someone to check each room to see if there is a lotus pond. Oh, not just the courtyards of each household, but the courtyards of the entire Wang Residence. He told them to go and see if there were any unusual phenomena around each pool. Also, ask the Butler if there is any connection between the pools in the king’s residence.” Gu Xin said as she looked at the water by the Lotus pond.

There were bailiffs and soldiers standing guard outside, so it was possible to see two out of ten people. In other words, the murderer was either in the courtyard or had entered the courtyard from another passage.

There were traces of water beside the Lotus pond.
