Gu Xin hurriedly ran towards the source of the sound. In the innermost private room, the door was locked tightly, so she kicked the door open.

In the room, Li Yuyan was holding a blood-stained dagger and screaming with her eyes closed. In front of her, lay a girl dressed as a maid, surrounded by blood. With so much blood loss, it was almost impossible to survive. Possibly, and the window facing the street is open.

"Dongxue, watch and don't let anyone come in!" Gu Xin ordered and ran to the window, leaving a footprint by the window.

Looking out the window, there was no one out of the ordinary.

Gu Xin saw Bai Er leaning against the wall across the street. She called him over: "Bai Er, come here!"

Bai Er came over.

"Did you see anyone jumping from the window?" Gu Xin asked.

"No." Bai Er shook his head, "Third girl, is something wrong?"

"Ask the shopkeeper to go to the Yamen and report the case. Someone died here," Gu Xin said.

Bai Er was startled, entered the teahouse, caught the shopkeeper, said a few words, and then went upstairs.

There were already deaths, and he didn't dare to let the third girl be here alone.

"Gu, Gu Xin, oh, no, Princess Xinxin, I, I..." Li Yuyan still had a dagger in her hand, and was so frightened that she could not speak.

At this moment, the waiter outside the door was about to come in, but was stopped by Dong Xue.

Gu Xin ignored Li Yuyan, walked to the door, and took out her token: "I am Gu Xin, Princess Protector of the Country. Except for murder cases in this room, the shopkeeper is asked to close the door. No guests or workers in the tea house are allowed to leave! "

Waiter was so frightened that he nodded repeatedly, turned around and ran towards the stairs. He even fell down, but Bai Er who went upstairs helped him.

"Third girl, who is dead?" Bai Er walked in, looked at the situation in the room, and frowned.

"I don't know." Gu Xin shook his head and did not move the lying body.

She read it from Gu Ren's book. In any murder case, the scene must not be destroyed.

"Miss Li, who is this? Did you kill him?" Gu Xin turned to look at Li Yuyan, who had no master.

"No, it's not." Li Yuyan was so frightened that she dropped her dagger and ran to Gu Xin, "Princess Xinxin, no, I don't, not me, not me."

"Don't panic." Gu Xin took her wrist and said, "Who is on the ground?"

"It's Xiaocui, the maid next to Jiang Hong." Li Yuyan was caught by Gu Xin, and she calmed down a little, and said, "I was invited by Lu Ni and Jiang Hong to come to the teahouse. After I came up, only Xiaocui was there. Then I drank some tea when I was thirsty, and then I didn’t know why I was holding the dagger and why Xiaocui died. Really, Princess Xinxin, I really didn’t kill anyone.”

"I'm not the one trying the case, you and I are of no use." Gu Xin said.

At this time, there was movement outside, and the arrester of Jingzhao Mansion came with the government servants.

"I've seen Princess Xinxin!" Almost all the people in Jingzhao Mansion knew Gu Xin from the previous Lantern Festival night shooting case, so when Capt. Gao arrived, he saluted Gu Xin.

"Yes. Capt. Gao, I was the only one who entered this room just now. I didn't touch the deceased or anything else in the room." Gu Xin nodded and said.

Gao Captou entered the room and looked around, then asked Gu Xin: "Princess Xinxin, please forgive me for offending, but can you tell me why the princess is here and what happened here when the princess came in?"

Gu Xin said: "I brought the maid here to drink tea. As soon as I went upstairs, I heard a scream. It came from this room."
