Gu Xin smiled but didn't say anything. She turned the vase around, but nothing happened. Then she walked to the next exquisite box.
She didn't act immediately, but instead instructed Baiyi: "Oh, right, Baiyi, I forgot to mention earlier, take some men and search all the rooms of the second branch of the family. Don't miss a single detail. Especially things like these antique display shelves, you know what I mean."
The woman in white nodded: "Yes, I understand. Third Miss, I'm the one who taught you this."
Bai Shijun's expression momentarily collapsed.
Gu Xin waved her hand, telling him to go.
Madam He stepped forward: "Didn't the princess search you yesterday?"
Gu Xin said, "Actually, we found evidence yesterday, but we thought it wasn't much evidence, so Officer Gao didn't take it. Now that I think about it, with that thing added in, it all makes sense. Young Master Bai, don't you think so?"
After Gu Xin finished speaking, she looked at Bai Shijun again.
Bai Shijun frowned and remained silent.
Master Bai had a vague idea of what was going on, but he couldn't believe it and didn't know what to do.
Gu Xin searched all the possible locations in the outer room that could be the switch to the secret room, but found nothing.
Undeterred, she went to the inner room again.
The Bai family members dared not say anything to her, especially since she seemed so confident. They were also eager to know whether she was right or wrong.
Not counting the King of Donglin, two people have died in the past two days. The others are also somewhat uneasy. They are all members of the Bai family, and who knows if they will be next?
After searching the study, Gu Xin went to the bedroom.
Bai Shijun's expression froze as she walked toward the bed.
Master Bai had been secretly observing Bai Shijun, and seeing his expression, he understood.
But he couldn't understand why Shijun would do that.
Also, is there really a secret room near the bed?
Why did Shijun want to build a secret room?
"Click".
Gu Xin found the mechanism, in a very conspicuous place, but one that most people would find hard to guess: it was in the chamber pot at the foot of the bed.
She first carried the bedding and mattress to the floor, so moving the bed board wasn't difficult.
This is Bai Shijun's bedroom. Besides him, only his servant has been here. Probably no one knows that Bai Shijun's chamber pot is always placed by his bedside.
Perhaps the chamber pot was too clean, and Bai Shijun had given instructions, so even the servant didn't know.
More likely, the servant knew all along that there was a secret room inside the house.
Gu Xin looked at the four people from the second branch of the family who had come with her, as well as Bai Siye and Bai Shiqi from the fourth branch, and said, "Shall we all go down and take a look? Let's see if our Second Young Master Bai has built a martial arts training room in this secret room, or if the structure of this secret room is the same as the Prince's secret room?"
Bai Shijun looked at Gu Xin in shock once again, while Gu Xin raised an eyebrow and smiled at him.
"Princess, we found it! We found a set of wet undergarments in Young Master Bai's room." At this moment, He Gang ran over with a set of clothes that had dripped water but were still a little damp, looking quite excited.
"What? In my room? Impossible, I don't even know how to swim!" Bai Shilin quickly defended himself.
“Just because it’s in your room doesn’t mean it’s yours. What are you panicking about?” Gu Xin said.
"Alright! He Gang, go and summon the Princess Consort and Princess Baozhu. Tell them the murderer has been found, and that the same person killed the Prince and the eldest son, Master Bai. Tell them to be prepared; there's something even more shocking coming up, so they don't faint from fright," Gu Xin instructed.
