Lord Su couldn't help but kick the coroner, Liu: "What kind of work are you doing! You're not going to examine it again!"
Liu, the coroner, wiped his sweat and took out his tools again, this time being much more serious than he had been in the morning.
He drank quite a bit last night and was indeed not in good spirits this morning, which is why he didn't notice the injury on his face.
Upon examination, the fatal injury was still on the back of the head.
However, the coroner Liu provided a useful piece of information: the wound on the face was behind the whip marks.
In other words, the deceased was injured after separating from Gu Shouxin and his wife.
This information is very useful.
This completely proves that Xu Changfeng lied, because he said that after they left Sanchakou Village, Xu Fangshi fainted, so they rushed back to the city and had been on the road the whole time.
Xue Qianyu: "I'll go and keep an eye on Xu Changfeng. If he's up to something, he'll eventually slip up!"
Lu Zheng nodded: "I'll go with you."
Gu Nian and Gu Xin: "We want to go too."
The two sisters were stopped by their parents: "Aren't you going to see your parents?"
...
The two elders led the two sisters to the prison cell.
Lord Su was indeed very accommodating; although it was a prison cell, it was very clean and even had two wooden beds.
"Father, Mother, have you eaten?" Gu Xin gripped the prison cell door, looking at her parents inside, tears streaming down her face.
"Silly child, why are you crying? We've all eaten, and Lord Su is doing very well." Cai Xiaolian wiped away Gu Xin's tears.
"Brother Yuanyuan and Brother Xue have gone to monitor Xu Changfeng. The coroner has found new evidence: whip marks and other injuries on Xu Changfeng's mother's face," Gu Xin whispered.
Gu Shouxin raised an eyebrow: "Where?"
Gu Xin pointed to a roughly similar location.
Gu Shouxin let out a sigh of relief: "Then I know what happened."
Everyone looked at him.
Gu Shouxin smiled and said, "Madam Li, please tell Lord Su in a moment to ask him to find out where Xu Fangshi's younger sister is now. Also, have the yamen runners inquire about Xu Changfeng's whereabouts over the past ten days. No, not just Xu Changfeng, but everyone in the Xu family, including the deceased Xu Fangshi."
Although Madam Li didn't know why she had to do this, she still agreed.
Actually, she really wanted to say, "You should have sent Xue Xiaoer. Xue Xiaoer's words carry more weight with Lord Su than mine."
Grandpa Gu asked, "Second son, do you know something?"
Gu Shouxin nodded: "When Xu Changfeng was pestering Niannian before, I had already investigated his ancestors for eighteen generations. He has an aunt who is his mother's twin sister. It's just that his aunt has a mole here, which is a bit big. I saw it in the prefectural city before."
Gu Xin was taken aback, then asked, "Father, do you mean that the person who died was Xu Changfeng's aunt? They pretended she was Xu Changfeng's mother and deliberately smeared her? Actually, Xu Changfeng's mother didn't die?"
Gu Shouxin looked at Gu Xin in surprise. She had actually guessed his thoughts. It wasn't that it was difficult, but rather the speed at which his little girl reacted.
The Gu family elders, Cai Xiaolian, and Gu Nian all found this utterly unbelievable.
When Gu Xin saw that Gu Shouxin did not deny it, her eyes lit up: "Then as long as we find Xu Changfeng's mother, does that mean it has nothing to do with our parents?"
Gu Shouxin nodded.
Gu Xin immediately perked up: "Dad, my sister and I will go find Brother Yuanyuan and Brother Xue. We'll split up and search; we'll definitely find them in one night. As long as she hasn't been sent out of the city yet!"
