My Entire Family’s Gone Haywire!

"As a result, the next day, when I went to the study to copy books, I heard someone saying that Xie Jun's sister was missing. Mr. Xie was so anxious that he went to report the case, and now he is looking for her full name. I hurried home and asked Xiaoru. Xiaoru denied it, saying that I must have been wrong. "

"No matter how I tried to reason with her emotions, she just denied it and even cried. Her family thought I had bullied her, and her brother pulled me out of her house. There was no way, she didn't admit it, and I didn't There was no way. I saw dirt on her shoes, and there were withered flowers on the dirt. They were the same as those grown in our academy. I heard from the flower gardener at the academy that there was only one of them in the suburbs of Beijing. It was everywhere. I asked the steward on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year and said I wanted to pick some and take them back to my mother. The steward told me the way. I left the city, but I didn't find anything. "

"I just thought that if the yamen found out that Miss Xie was looking for me often, she would definitely come home to ask about my mother and I, so I picked the flowers and put them in the house. If something happened to Miss Xie, maybe they could find her. At that time, she also had this kind of flower on her body, and it was all on Xiaoru’s feet.”

"The night before yesterday, I deliberately left my mother in the house, waiting for the people from the Yamen to come and ask questions. I hoped that the people from the Yamen would discover it, because this flower is rare in the capital."

After Song Yi finished speaking, he lowered his head in despair.

Gu Xin asked again: "What about Manzhu? What do you think of Manzhu?"

Song Yi raised his head in confusion: "Manzhu?"

Gu Xin nodded: "Yes, Manzhu. When Miss Xie comes to find you, does Manzhu always follow her? Have you done anything unusual to her?"

Song Yi shook his head: "Actually, I don't talk much to Miss Xie. Every time we meet, we meet by chance. When Manzhu is by her side, I don't do anything unusual to them, master and servant."

At this time, Li Dafei, who had gone to get the records from the city guard general, came over. He held several books, which were the records of people entering and leaving the city from the seventh day of the Lunar New Year to when the body was found the day before yesterday.

Gu Xin first flipped through the book on the ninth day of the lunar month. Song Yi didn't lie. He indeed left the city at the end of the morning on the ninth day of the lunar month and came back at noon. The purpose of leaving the city was also to find wild flowers for my mother.

At exactly midnight on the seventh day of the lunar month, Ye Cuiru drove a carriage out of the city, saying it was delivering goods. The Ye family and his son were delivering things for others, and they often went in and out of the three gates of the capital. Sometimes Ye Cuiru and Zhu would also accompany them, so she There are several sacks of goods in the car, but they are not inspected particularly carefully.

But there is no record of Ye Cuiru returning to the city. She probably did not come home from Dongcheng.

However, the Song family's mother and son did meet Ye Cuiru after nightfall.

Gu Xin looked through the records for a while and found no record of Manzhu entering and leaving the city.

So, Ye Cuiru is the murderer?

She put down the book and asked Li Dafei to inform the government officials to arrest the Ye family and the whole family. They also lied, saying that Ye Cuiru was at home from the sixth to the eighth day of the Lunar New Year and did not go out because of illness. What about the seventh day of the Lunar New Year? How could they not know when Ye Cuiru went out?

Li Dafei got the order and immediately went down to call for help, and happened to meet Capt. Gao who was already resting.

When Capt. Gao heard that the princess had found the real culprit as soon as he woke up, he was so impressed by Gu Xin that he became even more motivated to work.

Gu Xin thought for a while, but still didn't ask anyone to go find Fu Yin. This case always felt like there was something missing.
