My Entire Family's Gone Haywire!

2070 Not the person in the alley

At the first Lantern Festival in kunzhou, many people were lucky enough to see third young lady Gu and second young master Lu perform the zither and flute together. Everyone knew that they were born on the same day. As for their ages, it was no secret.

“Ah? I thought Xiao Qiu was the same age as me, but she’s older than me! Then I’ll have to call you brother Qiu from now on!” Gu Xin thought to herself,’either Zheng Qiu’s age is wrong, or the information that Bai Yi and the rest received is not accurate.’

Soon, they arrived at the narrow alley.

The entrance and exit of the alley had already been surrounded by the Yamen. However, these constables were not from the Supreme Court, but from the capital governor’s office.

When Gu Xin alighted from the carriage, she saw someone she knew. It was the constable who had been involved in li Yuyan’s case, Constable Gao, who was a relative of the Imperial consort.

“Constable Gao!” Gu Xin walked over and gave him a Pat.

“Third young lady Gu.” Constable Gao had known last time that this Princess liked to be called “miss,” so he didn’t bow to her.

“What’s going on inside?” Gu Xin nodded and asked.

“The coroner of the court of judicial review is examining the corpse.” Constable Gao said.

“I’m a Yamen official now, so allow me to go in and take a look!” Gu Xin said.

“Third miss, this way please. I still have to ask the people around here.” Constable Gao already knew that Gu Xin had found curly hair as an important clue in the Wang family Village case, so he could be considered as one of the people involved.

“Then I’ll take my leave first!” Gu Xin brought Zhang Bing into the alley.

There were a total of twelve families in this alley, with six families on both sides.

The yard where the accident happened was the second last house in the innermost part of the alley, and it happened to be next to the house where the song mother and son lived.

The body in the well had been fished out. Zheng Qiu was conducting an autopsy in the main room. There was a bailiff guarding the entrance of the courtyard. There was no one else other than Zheng Qiu and a person who made the record.

Zhang Bing followed her into the central room, leaving Gu Xin behind.

“Third miss, don’t!” Zhang Bing wanted to remind Gu Xin, but she had already entered the central room.

The smell wasn’t very good, and the corpse didn’t look very good.

Gu Xin wrinkled her nose but did not back off.

Zheng Qiu nodded at Gu Xin and continued with his work.

After a while, she walked to the person in charge of taking notes and looked at his notes.

The victim was a woman, about 16 years old. There were no obvious fatal injuries on her body, but she had some bruises.

By the time Zheng Qiu finished examining the body and stitched it up, it was already late.

Outside, Constable Gao had already finished asking everyone in the alley.

“Counselor Zheng, in the past ten days, thirty-nine people from the twelve households in this alley have not left, and no one has gone missing.” Constable Gao came in and said.

yes, the inspection has been completed. They can come in and see if this is someone they know. Zheng Qiu said.

In a short while, Constable Gao came in with his men.

There were still some weeds in the yard. The tenant had just been confirmed yesterday and they were preparing to clean up today. Before they could do so, they found the corpse. Therefore, the yard was overgrown with weeds and it was a little desolate.

There were two ropes on the big tree in the courtyard. One was probably put on by the tenant, Mr. Liang, when he went down. The other was probably put on by the people from the Yamen when they came to carry the body up.

Gu Xin walked around the well and noticed that the grass around her had signs of being stepped on.
