2329 Three cases a month
Third aunt du had her own way of training her employees. In the past, in such a situation, she wouldn’t let the employees say it directly. She would only let the employees comfort the guests and then go to see it herself, trying not to make a big scene.
But now, with Gu Xin and the others following her, third aunt du was not like usual. She really liked Gu Xin, so she didn’t mind Gu Xin hearing her.
Besides, the other employees were already comforting the customers, so it didn’t matter if he told them.
“Third lady, there’s a broken arm in the room!” The waiter patted his chest a few times and said in a trembling voice.
“Let’s go take a look!” Gu Xin pulled Zheng Qiu into the room without a second word.
“欸!”The waiter wanted to stop him but was stopped by third aunt du.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Du. Xiao Qiu is the coroner of the court of judicial review. She is very experienced.” Fatty Wang came in front of third aunt du and said.
Of course, third aunt du knew that Gu Xin had brought the coroner from the Supreme Court with her. The two cases they were working on in the Tai state capital had already spread to Qi ‘an town. Although there were all kinds of rumors, the general meaning was that Princess Xinxin was very good at investigating cases and there was no murderer that could escape from her hands.
The broken arm was on the table in the guest room.
Third aunt du made every room in the inn very warm. Even the most ordinary room would give people the feeling of home after entering.
It was early summer, so there were many flowers and plants in the room. There were green plants and a vase on the table with blooming flowers.
Right next to the vase, a broken arm was placed there.
Zheng Qiu took out a handkerchief and wrapped it around his broken arm. He took it closer to the oil lamp to observe.
Gu Xin couldn’t understand what was going on and could only walk around the house to check for other abnormalities.
Gu Xin and the others were staying in a superior room. It was bigger and more exquisite than this ordinary room, but the general layout was almost the same.
There were no other abnormalities in the surroundings. Looking at the bag on the ground, the person who found the broken arm should have just moved in and had not had time to pack up. He lit the oil lamp and found the broken arm. Therefore, the bag fell to the ground and the things inside scattered out.
Other than that, the rest of the place was very clean and tidy.
There were no visible marks on the windows, doors, tables, chairs, beds, shelves, or any other places that could be seen with the naked eye.
“An adult man’s hand, about twenty years old. He had been cut by a sharp weapon. Judging from the cuts and blood stains, it should have been cut after death.” Zheng Qiu had the answer.
“That is to say, other than the hand, there should be other parts?” Gu Xin looked at the broken arm and said in a deep voice.
“Third lady Gu, Zheng Zheng, are you looking for the Yamen?” Third aunt du walked over and asked.
of course, we’ll report it to the government office. It’s just that … Gu Xin was a little suspicious. This place was the same distance as the capital city and the prefecture of Thailand, but it was still within the jurisdiction of the prefecture.
Three murder cases in a month, this Lord Liu is going to have a headache.
“Send someone back to report this to the capital governor’s manor! After the expansion of the capital, Qi ‘an town was even closer to the capital. In the future, it might be divided into the capital’s territory. And we can’t turn back.” Lu Zheng immediately made the decision for Gu Xin.
