As he spoke, Lord Xu pointed to the bed, the one lying on the bed was brother Hao’s nanny. She looked like she was sleeping soundly, and the expression on her face was very calm. Her hands were crossed over her stomach, and she was even covered with a blanket at the time. At the foot of the bed, there was another maidservant. I’ve seen her. At that time, she was sitting and leaning against the edge of the bed. She must have planned to light an insect repellent incense and then fainted for some reason. In front of her, there are unlit incense and a lighter on the ground, and there is a small incense burner in the corner.”
Gu Xin walked over to take a look. As expected, Lord Xu had not ordered anyone to move the incense and lighter on the ground. The small incense burner was also there quietly.
Gu Xin squatted down and picked up the incense. She sniffed it and confirmed that it was indeed an insect repellent.
She then opened the lid of the small incense burner. It was clean inside without any incense ash. Perhaps the servant maids of the Wang family had brought their own incense burner, or they had borrowed a new one from the temple. In any case, there was no incense burner in the room next door.
Gu Xin looked through the items that the four of them brought. They were all normal items and the traces of use were obvious. It didn’t look like they had been rummaged through.
did they have any fatal wounds on their bodies? ” Gu Xin asked.
“No, I didn’t,” Lord Xu nodded his head heavily.
Why did he have to report it to the capital and wait for someone to come to investigate the case? it was because the victim’s death was too strange.
He didn’t dare to move easily. He was afraid that he would destroy the evidence, or that he would lose the clues if he moved anything.
“Let’s go to the next room.” Gu Xin pursed her lips and said.
The next room was the room of two elderly women who served the old Madam. They lived in a small room on the other side of the main hall.
On the other side of the main hall, there were four rooms in total. Sir Wang and his wife stayed in one, old Madam stayed in another, young lady Wang and brother Hao stayed in another, and the remaining small room was for the two old women.
They thought that old Madam was old and might need someone to serve her at any time. Therefore, the room where the old woman lived was next to old Madam’s room. There was a door on the wall between the two rooms. This was specially built by Hongyuan temple for the convenience of the people who needed to be taken care of.
Gu Xin entered from the small room where the two old women were staying.
There were two small beds in the room. The head of the bed was separated by a small square wooden cabinet that was as high as the bed.
There was a smell in the room. It was the smell of insect repellent.
The small bed in this room was a rack bed. Gu Xin squatted down and could see the bugs that had been killed by the incense.
There was no smell of blood in the room, but there were bloodstains on the bed. Perhaps the smell of the bug repellent had covered up the smell of blood, or perhaps the window was too big. After a day, the smell had dissipated.
“Lord Xu, was the incense still burning when you arrived?” Gu Xin asked.
“It was on fire. I didn’t pay much attention at the time. Later, when I had people move the bodies, I found that the incense burner was smoking. I didn’t take the initiative to put it out and just let it burn.” Lord Xu said.
“That’s not right.” Gu Xin picked up the small incense burner on the bedside table and shook her head.
“Was I wrong?” Lord Xu guiltily asked.
“No, I’m not. This small incense burner was exactly the same as the one in the maidservant’s room. Moreover, there’s a lot of incense ash in here. It doesn’t look like a plate of insect repellent incense that should have been burned out.” Gu Xin said in a low voice.
