Lord Xu had interrogations recorded during the day, but he only asked where everyone was during the time of the incident, and did not ask who had contact with the Wang family members yesterday.
Such questioning would take some time, so Gu Xin asked He Gang and He Qiang to bring their men to cooperate.
He Gang and He Qiang had worked on several cases with Gu Xin and knew how to question people, so Gu Xin wasn't worried at all.
Only Gu Xindong, Xue Zhengqiu, and Fatty Wang remained in the room.
Fatty Wang looked much better than before. Gu Xin walked over to him and patted his shoulder twice.
Fatty Wang looked over and said, "Third Miss, I'm fine. Thank you for making this trip."
Gu Xin said, "Are you feeling better? Do you want to go and rest? Resting will make your mind clearer."
Fatty Wang shook his head: "I don't need to rest. I'll stay here and keep them company."
Gu Xin sighed silently to herself and said, "Your aunts live far away, and even the closest one, Madam Liu, has gone to the west for a trip. Lord Liu can't leave his post without permission. It will probably take ten days to half a month for the other aunts to get back. And your sisters and brothers-in-law, your uncles and aunts, it will probably take them a while to get here. Their funerals..."
Fatty Wang was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's talk about it after we catch the murderer. My parents cared about my sisters before they passed away, and it's Grandmother's birthday in a few days. My aunts will all be here; it won't take that long. My second aunt went traveling in the west, but she'll be back. She went in June, and it's September now. She'll definitely come back for Grandmother's birthday; if she doesn't, she'll be scolded. So..."
At this point, Fatty Wang choked up a little.
That's right, his grandmother's birthday is in a few days. Although it's not a full birthday, his married aunts and sisters will come back every year. No matter where his father is working, as long as they don't have other important matters to attend to, they will go. They usually arrive two or three days in advance.
As for his maternal grandparents, they had already passed away. He had three maternal uncles and one maternal aunt, all of whom had a good relationship with his family and were all wealthy. His maternal uncles would come every year on his grandmother's birthday, and his maternal aunt, who lived in Yunzhou, was even closer and would definitely come as well.
There's an unwritten rule in their family: ever since his grandfather passed away, his aunts and sisters who are married and living away from home must return to their grandmother's house every year for her birthday. Unless they are unable to leave their home, there's no longer a requirement for them to return to their parents' home for the Lunar New Year.
Therefore, the funeral will definitely last for many days.
Gu Xin understood what Fatty Wang meant and said, "Don't think about anything right now. We'll consider holding a funeral for them after we catch the murderer. By the way, Brother Yuanyuan knows a high-ranking monk at Huguo Temple. Have Brother Yuanyuan invite the monks from Huguo Temple to perform the funeral rites for the old lady and your uncle and aunt! As for the rest, whether you want to do it yourself or delegate it to your subordinates, just let me know if you need anything."
Fatty Wang nodded: "Okay!"
Gu Xin stopped talking.
...
When Lu Zheng arrived at Hongyuan Temple, He Gang and the others had just finished asking about the situation, and it was already the hour of Yin (3-5 AM).
Gu Xin and Zheng Qiu were taking a nap in the main room, while Dong Xue had gone to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for them with the monks from the temple.
