2019 Chapter 2019-dead
Gu Xin hurriedly ran towards the source of the sound. It was in the innermost private room. The door was tightly locked and she kicked it open.....
Inside the house, li Yuyan was holding a blood-stained dagger. Her eyes were closed as she screamed. In front of her was a girl dressed as a maidservant. She was surrounded by blood. With such a huge amount of blood loss, it was almost impossible for her to survive. The window facing the street was open.
“Dongxue, guard the place, don’t let anyone in!” Gu Xin instructed before running towards the window, leaving a footprint.
He looked out of the window, but there was no one unusual.
Gu Xin saw second white who was leaning against the wall across the street and called him over, ” “Second white, come here!”
Second white walked over.
“Did you see anyone jump out of the window?” Gu Xin asked.
“No, I didn’t,” Second white shook his head, ” third miss, did something happen? ”
“Ask the shopkeeper to report to the Yamen that someone died here.” Gu Xin said.
Second white was shocked. He entered the teahouse and said a few words to the shopkeeper before going upstairs.
Since someone had died, he didn’t dare to leave the third young lady here alone.
Gu, Gu Xin, Oh, no, Princess Xinxin, I, I’m Wanwan. li Yuyan was still holding a dagger in his hand. He was so scared that he couldn’t speak.
At this moment, the waiter outside the door was about to come in, but he was stopped by Dong Xue.
Gu Xin ignored li Yuyan and walked to the door. She took out her token, ” I’m gu Xin, the princess of the country. Now, other than the murder case, tell the shopkeeper to close the door. All the guests and workers in the teahouse are not to leave!
The waiter was so scared that he kept nodding his head. He turned around and ran towards the stairs. He even fell down. It was second Bai who helped him up.
“Third young lady, who died?” Second white walked in and looked at the situation in the room. He frowned.
“I don’t know,” Gu Xin shook her head and did not touch the body.
She had read from Gu Ren’s notebook that no one was allowed to destroy the scene of a murder case.
“Miss Li, who is this? Did you kill them?” Gu Xin turned around and looked at li Yuyan, who was in a daze.
“No, no,” Li Yuyan was so scared that he threw away his dagger and ran to Gu Xin, ” Princess Xinxin, no, I didn’t. It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me.
“It’s Xiao Cui, Jiang Hong’s maid.” After being grabbed by Gu Xin, li Yuyan calmed down a little and said, ” I … It was Lu Xin and Jiang Hong who asked me to come to the teahouse. After I came up, only Xiao Cui was there. I was thirsty so I drank some tea. Then … Then I didn’t know why I was holding a dagger and why Xiao Cui died. Really, Princess Xinxin, I really didn’t kill anyone.”
“I’m not the one trying the case, it’s useless for you to talk to me like this.” Gu Xin said.
At this moment, there was some movement outside. The constables from the capital governor’s office had arrived with bailiffs.
“Greetings, Princess Xinxin!” During the flower-hunting incident, almost everyone in the capital governor’s office knew Gu Xin, so Constable Gao greeted her when he arrived.
“Yes, I am. Constable Gao, I’m the only one who entered this room. I didn’t touch the dead or anything else in the room.” Gu Xin nodded her head and said.
Constable Gao walked into the house and looked around before he asked Gu Xin, ” Princess Xinxin, please forgive me for my rudeness. Can you tell me why the princess is here? what happened when the princess entered the door? ”
I brought my servant here to drink tea, ” Gu Xin said. I heard a scream as soon as I came upstairs. It came from this room.
