After locking onto the target, An Tingyu immediately sent people to keep an eye on these people, but for several days in a row, these five people were temporarily well-behaved, and no one behaved in any unusual way. Even the Bai brothers and sisters did not show any abnormality. If there was any, it was just seeking pleasure from prostitutes. Bai Chenglou went to the brothel every day, and Bai Wei had an affair with a different man every day.

But these are not directly related to the case. The love affairs between the Bai brothers and sisters can only show that they are not upright and greedy for beauty. Moreover, these are no longer news. The only thing left is that they have a motive for committing crimes for property.

"According to what you said, the brother and sister of the Bai family are the most likely candidates?" Tang Liuzhao came to this conclusion after listening to An Tingyu's analysis.

An Tingyu nodded. "It can be said that the brother and sister have a motive for committing the crime, and it is the most likely because they are fighting for property. For money, some people will do anything, but we have no evidence, and we can't be sure that it is them."

An Tingyu paused before continuing, "This case is quite special. It's not just a family fight over property. Wu Buzi and that mysterious person are involved. So it's possible that the murder wasn't for money, but to achieve a certain purpose. For example, Bai Yuan's death was caused by fake medicine. The murderer might have wanted to frame me, implicate the Nether Palace, and ultimately destroy its power."

And this is what she is really worried about.

So these murders might not be directed at property or anything, but at her. The people who died in the Bai Mansion might just be unlucky people who were taken advantage of by that mysterious man. Of course, these are all assumptions. She has no evidence. Before the case becomes clear, everything is possible.

Tang Liuzhao sighed, "This case is really becoming more and more complicated, but we don't have half the time left."

If they haven't found out the truth in another four days, he will have no chance of being an official. As for An Tingyu, although others dare not do anything to her because of her status, the emperor will definitely question her. Although it is not voluntary, as the emperor, Long Xunyi will still find An Tingyu, so An Tingyu's situation is not much better than his.

An Tingyu and Tang Liuzhao have been at a loss as to how to solve the murder case in the Bai Mansion. However, just when they were worried, another murder occurred in the Bai Mansion. Bai Wei fell into the lotus pond and drowned. According to the confession of the servants of the Bai Mansion, Bai Wei and Bai Chenglou had an argument on the bridge over the lotus pond at that time, and Bai Wei was pushed down.

"It wasn't me, it wasn't me. I just pushed her lightly and she fell into the lotus pond. She deserved to die, but it had nothing to do with me. She fell in on her own."

As soon as they entered the Bai Mansion, Bai Chenglou said these words to them.

An Tingyu glanced coldly at Bai Chenglou and said indifferently: "But many people saw it. It was you who pushed her in."

"I've already said it, I just pushed her lightly, who knew she would fall? And the water in the lotus pond isn't deep enough to drown her. It's her fate, what does it have to do with me?" Bai Chenglou showed no remorse at all and insisted that he had done nothing wrong.

An Tingyu and Tang Liuzhao both frowned tightly at this stubborn person.

Although they had a bad relationship as siblings, they were still siblings after all. Now that the person was dead, Bai Chenglou could still say such heartbreaking words. He was truly a man worse than an animal.

After ordering people to guard Baicheng Tower, An Tingyu and Tang Liuzhao arrived at the crime scene.

"Miss An, my young lady fell in from here." Lan Chun brought An Tingyu and the others to the lotus pond, and then pointed to a small wooden bridge and said.

An Tingyu nodded, then said to Lan Chun: "Okay, that's enough, you can go back first! Madam Bai is very sad, and you going back to look after her will make her too sad."

"good!"

After Lan Chun left, An Tingyu stepped onto the small wooden bridge. Looking at the broken railing, An Tingyu said to Tang Liuzhao, "What do you think?"

Looking at the railing, Tang Liuzhao raised his eyebrows, "Isn't this obvious?"

"Yes! It's obvious, it's clearly a trap. The railing has saw marks on it, which means it was intentional murder. And there's only one person who could do such a thing, and that's Bai Chenglou. They were arguing at the time, and it's impossible for Bai Chenglou and Bai Wei to just happen to walk over there and argue. This means Bai Chenglou deliberately lured Bai Wei here, and then used the excuse of an argument to push her into the lotus pond."

Tang Liuzhao gave An Tingyu a thumbs-up. "The criminal analysis is established!"

“But there are still some things that don’t hold true.”

"Where is it?" Tang Liuzhao asked.

An Tingyu pointed to the sawed area and said, "This evidence is too obvious. If you were to commit a crime, would you leave evidence for others?"

"Of course not...Okay! There are some inconsistencies." Tang Liuzhao instinctively wanted to say no, but before he finished speaking, he agreed with An Tingyu's words, because if the murderer was really Bai Chenglou, this evidence was indeed too strange and too contradictory.

"Looking at it, I thought of these words. It seemed to be saying that the murderer is Bai Chenglou. Let's catch him quickly!" An Tingyu spoke in a light tone, her dark and bright eyes looking at the broken railing. Her cold eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in her clear eyes. Her voice, as clear as a yellow warbler, was still elegant and indifferent.

After saying that, she just stood there quietly, gazing out. A gentle breeze blew, and her white dress fluttered in the air. Her slender figure was as delicate and pretty as a fairy. Her pair of stunning and enchanting eyes shone like stars, smart and bright, like an elegant and beautiful fairy in white, beautiful beyond words.
