If it was a premeditated crime of passion, could the murderer be another person involved in this complicated relationship?
If not, then why were these three people killed at the same time?
Gu Xin didn't believe that anyone would kill someone for no reason. Moreover, she also learned from the Feng family that the two Feng sisters had no enemies other than themselves, who were having a huge fight over a man.
The deaths of all three were quite gruesome, so it's unlikely that the Feng sisters were mistakenly killed because they were implicated by Qi Yulang.
"Officer Chen, immediately send someone to invite the Qi family to identify the body. Also, remember to bring a few people who know Qi Yulang well." Thinking of this, Gu Xin instructed Chen Pengyuan to find the Qi family to inquire.
Even his aunt, Madam Feng, probably didn't know much about Qi Yulang's daily life. Only someone who was constantly by his side could understand it.
By the way, Bai Er just said that Qi Yulang and his entourage left yesterday morning and haven't returned. Where are Qi Yulang's entourage?
"Yes!" Chen Pengyuan found a yamen runner who was relatively fast and rushed over.
Then he led his men to start looking for the beads.
Inside the cave, besides a male corpse, they found a hemp rope mixed with a special material, as well as these beads.
Finally, they searched the entire cave, looking in every corner, and found a total of more than thirty beads, along with a clasp strung together with the beads.
However, nothing was found of the string used to string the beads.
"Let's look outside! If we really can't find it, we'll go back and match the pieces together so the maid can identify which of the three it belongs to. If it doesn't belong to any of them, then it's either the murderer or an accomplice," Gu Xin said with a sigh, looking at the scattered firelight outside.
"Princess, Officer Chen, the monks from the temple have brought over food," a yamen runner reported.
"Alright, everyone, let's go get something to eat! We've been busy for so long, we need to eat to have the energy to continue!" Gu Xin clapped her hands and invited everyone to go eat.
She wasn't very hungry, so she took a torch and searched around the cave entrance.
Fatty Wang brought Gu Xin a pot of water, shaking his head and sighing, "Third Miss, you're too diligent! You should go and eat something. If you get too hungry, I suspect that if I follow you to the capital, I'll be punished by Lord Gu and Prince Lu!"
Gu Xin took the water pouch, tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp. Wiping her mouth, she laughed and said, "Fatty Wang, let me tell you, not only are you going to be dealt with by my dad and my fiancé, but you're also going to be dealt with by my grandparents, my two older sisters and one younger sister, and several brothers in my family. You'd better be prepared to be bullied and harassed by my family for the next month or two!"
Fatty Wang: "!"
Seeing him like this, Gu Xin smiled even more happily.
Fatty Wang said aggrievedly, "Third Miss, is it too late for me to regret it now?"
Gu Xin shook her head: "It's too late, you're already on my pirate ship. Besides, I haven't had anyone by my side all these years. I finally took a liking to you, you should feel honored, you know? Follow me, and I guarantee it will be good for you."
Fatty Wang glanced at Gu Xin with a wronged expression, not wanting to say anything.
Gu Xin kicked him: "Don't even think about running away, don't try to play tricks on me. Now, right now, find something around here. A beaded chain or rope. The bead is only this big, find it yourself."
Fatty Wang leaned over for a look, and his eyes lit up.
