Chapter 116

Luo Jiayin was very confident in her guess. From Yang Yang's perspective as an idol with a halo, she also felt that Teacher Luo Jiayin's reasoning was very reliable.

In fact, it is not difficult to see from the testimonies of these servants of the Lu family that the eldest lady of the Lu family has a rather strict personality and is very ruthless in dealing with the servants.

Furthermore, according to Yang Yang, a scabbard for a dagger was found in the room of the eldest wife of the Lu family, but the dagger itself was nowhere to be found, which is very likely related to the murder case.

Gu Yishen's inability to handle her question indirectly shows that the internal situation of the Lu family is actually very complicated, and not as harmonious as outsiders perceive it to be, or as the rumors in the capital suggest.

“Let’s go check on the young mistress of the Lu family’s room, then it should be about time,” Luo Jiayin said.

“Then I’ll go with you. I haven’t searched the young mistress of the Lu family’s place yet. There are many of us, so we can split up and search quickly.”

Luo Jiayin nodded, and the three of them reached a consensus. Then, they arrived at the scene marked with a sign that read "Young Mistress of the Lu Family's Room".

After entering the room of the young mistress of the Lu family, Luo Jiayin, Gu Yishen, and Yang Yang began to search for clues separately.

In Ren Ning'er's room, Yang Yang first saw an unfinished embroidered handkerchief on the table, but that was all; he didn't find a sewing basket or anything like that.

At this moment, Gu Yishen heard Yang Yang's words and, using his "young master" identity, went out to summon several NPCs dressed as servants, ordering them to search the courtyard and even retrieve items from the lake.

Luo Jiayin couldn't help but chuckle as she watched the servants scatter and leave.

Gu Yishen is actually quite clever.

They even used their status to ask NPCs to be their helpers. How cunning!

This move was probably something even Lu Ziye, the "head" of the Lu family, hadn't expected. He never imagined that his identity could be used in this way. Right now, he's probably still frantically searching for clues.

Luo Jiayin chuckled, realizing for the first time that cooperating with Gu Yishen wasn't entirely useless.

On the wall of Ren Ning'er's room, there was a row of very eye-catching characters written in blood, which Luo Jiayin noticed as soon as he entered the room.

She walked to the wall and looked up at the words on it.

"Let me blow away the clouds around the moon, so that they may reveal the faithless man."

Wow, this is a quote from the poem "Looking South of the River, the Moon in the Sky".

This means: Wind, please blow away the dark clouds around the moon and let it shine on my unfaithful lover.

This is a classic folk poem about a "resentful woman".

Luo Jiayin took the photos and prepared to go to other places to take a look.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a corner at the bottom of the wall out of the corner of her eye.

She found a small note in the corner: "Where can one buy wine with green coins, and who will add fragrance to the wine with red sleeves?"

Hmm? Two lines of poetry? That's very strange.

Luo Jiayin was puzzled. Was this a deliberate attempt to create confusion?

Luo Jiayin was indeed confused...

However, she did not intend to delve into the two lines of text on the wall. She felt they were not very meaningful, and time was limited. There were still many places she had not yet visited, and the clues she had obtained at the moment were also very limited.

Leaving the room of the young mistress of the Lu family, right next door is a sign that reads "Young Master Gu's Study".

Luo Jiayin glanced back at Gu Yishen, who was still observing in Madam Lu's room, then turned and walked into Young Master Gu's study.

There aren't many furnishings in this scene, just a desk, a cabinet, and a few small decorative items.

Luo Jiayin came to the desk. Apart from the usual writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and a few common books such as the Analects, there was nothing else wrong with the desk.

Suddenly, Luo Jiayin noticed something sticking out at the very bottom of the pile of books, something that looked like an envelope.

Luo Jiayin moved the book aside and pulled out what was underneath. Sure enough, it was a folded letter.

Luo Jiayin opened the letter and glanced at it. It contained records of the locations and times that Ren Ning'er, the young mistress of the Lu family, left the mansion every day.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Jiayin went to the cabinet in the room.

Open the cabinet; there are two layers inside.

Inside the first floor, there was a pair of uniquely designed and elegant jade bracelets, carved with several crape myrtle flowers, clearly women's jewelry.

"Could this be Ren Ning'er's... But why would Ren Ning'er's jewelry be in Young Master Gu's study? Even if they are husband and wife, they wouldn't keep such personal items like jewelry in a place like this."

Luo Jiayin muttered to herself, then immediately dismissed the idea that the thing belonged to Ren Ning'er.

This is definitely not Ren Ning'er's jade bracelet.

Luo Jiayin then looked at the second shelf of the cabinet.

The second layer contained some letters, which Luo Jiayin took out and opened one by one.

These are all letters exchanged between Young Master Gu and some courtesans. In one of the letters, Luo Jiayin even saw that Young Master Gu had explicitly stated that he wanted to divorce his wife.

Luo Jiayin laid the letters flat on the ground, arranged them neatly, took out her phone to take pictures, and then put them back.

"Young Master Gu, I never imagined that you and your father were such interesting people."

Luo Jiayin curled his lips into a wicked smile, his face bearing a hint of the arrogance of a victor.

Gu Yishen, who was focused on finding clues next door, was completely unaware of what was happening, but the viewers watching the live broadcast got excited all of a sudden.

[Holy crap! Look at Luo Jia's expression just now, is he about to accuse Young Master Gu?]

[Ahhh, I absolutely love watching this love-hate relationship drama! Hahaha! Let's fight back!]

I don't think Brother Shen would be willing to doubt his "little brother Luo Jia."

But his little brother Loka has already started to suspect him, haha.

What's so special about this? I find the green hills charming, but the green hills seem to spit on me!

[Hahahaha!! The comment upstairs is so apt, it's so vivid!]

The onlookers were discussing the performances of the various guests and their gossip, while those who were watching the show attentively were also discussing the case in the live chat, guessing who was most likely to be the murderer.

Meanwhile, Gu Yishen, who had already been suspected by Luo Jiayin, wandered around Madam Lu's room for half a day. Apart from the handkerchief that Yang Yang had found at the beginning and the two poems on the wall that Luo Jiayin had photographed, he had not found anything else.

Yang Yang had already gone to search for evidence in the nearby room of Madam Lu's eldest daughter-in-law as time was running out. Gu Yishen looked around the room and then realized that Luo Jia had left the room at some point.
