2687 Chapter 2686-extremely strange

Gu Xin looked at the corpses of the two old women that Lord Xu had asked someone to mark. Just like the nanny, they were lying on the bed, as if they were asleep. However, there were large amounts of blood on the bed. It was obvious that the two of them had wounds on their bodies.

“Your Highness, there are no wounds on these two women. Only their backs were stained with blood, but in front of them were clean undergarments. At that time, I didn’t think too much about it and thought that they were injured on the back. I asked people to be more careful and change them into clean clothes so that the wounds didn’t change. Later they said that there were no wounds on the two maids, only that their clothes were stained with blood.” Lord Xu reminded Gu Xin when he saw her looking at the rope on the bed.

“What? The two of them aren’t injured?” Gu Xin was shocked as she muttered to herself, ” if she’s not injured, why are there so many bloodstains on the bed? It doesn’t look like the murderer was injured and brought in. Otherwise, there would be some on the ground.”

Lord Xu did not speak, because he also did not know what was going on.

Gu Xin put down the incense burner and walked to the bed. There were scratches on the window and half a footprint. From the size of the footprint, it should be a man’s footprint.

The windows of the house were wide open. A grown man could enter from the window without touching it.

However, the night was cold, and the two elderly women, who were older than Sir Wang and his wife, could not sleep at night without closing the windows.

It had rained at Hongyuan temple last night, but there were only muddy footprints on the window. There was nothing else.

Footprints?

Gu Xin suddenly recalled that there were no footprints in the two houses she had just gone to.

The rain had stopped early in the morning. As Lord Xu had said earlier, other than the table in the servant’s room that had been touched when he had moved the corpse, everything else had remained the same.

The murderer broke into the house at night to kill, and even in the heavy rain, he did not leave any traces. Did he clean up the traces after killing?

In that case, why didn’t the traces on the windows in this old woman’s room be cleaned?

The window wasn’t in the corner. Instead, it was very conspicuous. If he entered through the window, there should be a mark under the window. If he could remove the mark under the window, why not remove the mark on the window?

Gu Xin entered old Madam Wang’s room through the door that was opened on the wall of the two rooms. Old Madam Wang’s room was slightly bigger and had more furnishings. There were even cushions on the chair and a softer bed.

The strange thing was that old Madam Wang’s death was not on the bed, but on the chair, which Sir Xu had marked.

Lord Xu stood up and explained, ” when I saw the old Madam, she was like an ordinary old lady dozing off. She sat upright on the chair, her head not even tilted. She held the prayer beads in her hand, and the corners of her mouth were curved. There was even a smile on her face. She was like a child who was dreaming of something good. At that time, I really didn’t think that old Furen was killed.”

Gu Xin asked,”her head didn’t tilt?” That’s impossible. Most old ladies would tilt their heads to the side or back even if they were napping.”

“Isn’t that so? That’s why I find it extremely strange.”

Gu Xin came to the chair and lifted her head to look at the beam. She then jumped onto it easily. There were traces of rope being used on the beam.
