Going to take a look isn't a bad idea.
Bai Nuo thought, since he died so suddenly, as his daughter, she should show her filial piety and it wouldn't be right not to go and comfort him.
Bai Nuo felt that she didn't want to take the blame for this kind of gossip.
“Okay!” Bai Nuo nodded, “But please wait a moment, I’ll go call my husband. Someone just died, and I… I don’t dare to look.”
Officer Cheng pursed his lips, a rare occurrence for him. He hadn't forgotten who had killed Old Li, and now he was saying he was afraid of seeing dead people?
However, it's normal for Bai Nuo not to want to go alone. After all, she's a woman, and after getting married, her husband takes precedence. It's understandable that she would tell her husband before going out.
Thinking this, Cheng Hu nodded.
"Please wait a moment, I'll be right there!" Bai Nuo said, instructing Qinghe to serve tea before leaving.
Before leaving, Bai Nuo overheard Cheng Hu asking Qinghe, "How is your wife feeling?"
Qinghe said in a low voice, "It's not good. Madam cried today after hearing the news."
"This is too tragic. Please accept my condolences, Madam."
When Bai Nuo heard this, she stopped listening and quickly walked back.
A short while later, Bai Nuo appeared alongside Hu Mingmei. Both of them were dressed in white, and Bai Nuo's makeup and hair ornaments had been changed and made simpler.
"Let's go, Officer Cheng!" Bai Nuo stood in front of Officer Cheng and sighed softly. Hu Mingmei patted Bai Nuo's hand reassuringly, and Bai Nuo gave a wry smile, "I'm fine."
Looking at Bai Nuo, Chief Constable Cheng noticed her red eyes and couldn't help but think that Bai Nuo and Bai Dalin's relationship wasn't as bad as the rumors suggested.
Bai Nuo and Hu Mingmei didn't take a car. Instead, they followed Constable Cheng on foot to Bai Dalin's house. As soon as they got close to the door, they smelled a bloody odor.
Just as Officer Cheng was about to go in, Bai Nuo suddenly spoke up, "Officer Cheng, where is the prisoner?"
"The prisoners are inside too," Officer Cheng said.
"They haven't arrested her yet?" Bai Nuo was somewhat surprised. Just from the smell of blood that could be smelled even before entering the house, there shouldn't be any hesitation in arresting Hu Lingling, right? "Do you still have doubts? Or is the evidence insufficient?"
“The evidence isn’t insufficient!” Cheng Hu said with difficulty, “She didn’t leave at the time, and she was still holding that murder knife in her hand. Ugh, I don’t know how to explain this!” Cheng Hu scratched his head, “You’ll know once you go in and take a look!”
Bai Nuo and Hu Mingmei exchanged a glance, and Hu Mingmei said softly, "Let's go, let's score a goal and see. Don't be afraid, I'll be with you!"
Bai Nuo nodded. It wasn't that she was afraid; she just didn't like the smell of blood and felt nauseous.
"Let's go!" Cheng Hu said softly, seeing that the family members had been mentally prepared, and went in first.
This was Bai Nuo's first time here, but she thought that after collecting Bai Dalin's remains, this would be the last time she came. Bai Dalin truly embodied the characteristics of a nouveau riche; the entire courtyard was decorated extremely luxuriously, and the house was very large. However, right now, apart from the government officials, there was no one else around; the entire courtyard was guarded by soldiers.
"All the servants here have been moved away; this place is now entirely ours."
Bai Nuo had been looking around since she came in, but she could only smell the odor and couldn't find any trace. Bai Nuo asked in confusion, "Where did the crime scene occur?"
“They’re inside!” Cheng Hu said. “One is in Bai Dalin and his wife’s room, and the other is in Chen Zhi’s room. All three of them were murdered before they even left their rooms!”
Wow, that's pretty ruthless!
Bai Nuo sighed inwardly as she walked into the room. She didn't want to look at Chen Zhi anymore; she still wanted to see Bai Dalin.
When Bai Nuo and Hu Mingmei arrived at the door of Bai Dalin's room, they could already smell a strong stench of blood. Moreover, there was a woman sitting by the door—Hu Lingling—guarded by soldiers, and there were three of them guarding her.
Hu Lingling was still holding the knife that appeared to be the murder weapon. The entire knife was covered in blood, and there was a small blood pit in front of her. A notch had formed on the blade.
It looks like they went really hard.
But... Bai Nuo looked at Constable Cheng with a puzzled expression, "Why didn't you take that knife off her? It's so dangerous." Can't these three big men subdue a woman?
"It's not that I don't want to take it..." Constable Cheng said with a wry smile, "You'll see if you take a closer look!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Nuo took a serious look at Hu Lingling and saw that Hu Lingling's hair was messy and haphazardly draped over her shoulders, and her face and clothes were stained with a lot of blood.
Perhaps Hu Lingling also sensed Bai Nuo watching her, because she immediately smiled at her and said, "Hehe, I'll kill you!"
Hu Mingmei pulled Bai Nuo behind her.
Cheng Hu said with a wry smile, "You know what happened? She's gone mad! It's not that we didn't try to catch her, but as soon as we took that knife from her, she went berserk, biting people everywhere. Several of our brothers have already been bitten by her. Anyway, she can't escape, so we just let her hold the knife for now. That way, it'll be quieter, and we can do other things."
The door to Bai Dalin and Chen Qiuling's room was ajar. Cheng Hu took two towels from someone nearby and handed them to Bai Nuo and Hu Mingmei, saying, "Cover your mouth and nose; it'll make you feel better."
Bai Nuo nodded, politely took the towel, handed one to Hu Mingmei, and then covered her own nose.
