My Entire Family’s Gone Haywire!

Gu Xin stopped and told He Gang: "He Gang, take a few brothers and search all the rooms in this courtyard. Don't miss any corner!"

He Gang clasped his fists: "Yes!"

He called a few people, and then started searching from outside the yard with them.

The Donglin Prince's Palace is very large, and the place where a person like Bai Shijie, who was trained as an heir, lives is second only to the main courtyard of the Donglin Prince and the residence of the eldest son and his wife.

Gu Xin took He Qiang directly into the room where Bai Shijie was.

This is Bai Shijie's study. Bai Shijie's body is in the inner room of his study, where he usually rests when he is tired.

As He Gang said, Bai Shijie's death state was a bit strange. His back was arched, but his head was tilted up. His eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something incredible.

But he was not lying down, but leaning against the bed, with his eyes facing the roof.

Gu Xin stepped forward, checked around the body, and then asked Capt. Gao to lead people to take the body out. Zheng Qiu was already ready outside.

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

Gu Xin knelt down, picked up a piece of tea, and smelled it.

Then asked He Gang to collect all the tea leaves on the ground.

She walked around the inner room. Except for the spilled tea on the floor beside the bed, the rest of the room was very clean and tidy.

The thin quilt is also well folded.

There was a window on the right side of the bed. Gu Xin walked over and looked out. Through the oil lamp in the yard, he could see a small pond outside. The lotus leaves in the pond were flourishing and the lotus flowers also had buds, but there was no one yet. Flowers blooming.

Gu Xin's eyesight was very good. It was already dark when the food delivery person came, and there were lamps lit everywhere in the yard, so he could see clearly.

Gu Xin remembered that she seemed to have seen several ponds in the palace today, some with lotus plants and some without.

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

She lowered her head and saw that the window was made of wood and was in good condition all around. However, the piece she touched seemed to have been touched by something hard and was uneven. The wood chips stung her.

She turned around and took the lamp to the window. When she took a closer look, there were not only sawdust, but also ink on the sawdust.

Gu Xin wrote this down.

She took another look at the inner room, found nothing else, and then climbed directly out of the window.

The window was quite large. Although she was slender but tall, she could easily roll out the window and felt that there was plenty of space.

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

"Third Miss." At this time, Capt. Gao came over, thinking that Gu Xin had discovered something.

"Captain Gao, please have people go down to each room to see if there is a lotus pond. Oh, not just the courtyard of each room, but the entire courtyard of the palace. Let them go and see if there is a lotus pond around each pond. There is a strange phenomenon. Also, ask the housekeeper if the ponds in the palace are connected." Gu Xin looked at the water stains beside the lotus pond and said.

There were government officials and soldiers guarding the outside, and ten people could be seen in pairs. In other words, either the murderer was in the yard, or he entered the yard from other passages.

And next to the lotus pond, there are traces of water.
