2144 Chapter 2144-more certain
General Ying had e personally. When he arrived, Zheng Qiu had already finished examining the Prince of Dong Lin.
....
The time of death of the king of Dong Lin was between the 30th of April and the 1st of May. The cause of death was anger and a heavy blow to the head.
The surface of the body was intact, and nothing could be seen except for the fact that He Died with His Eyes Open.
When Zheng Qiu was conducting the autopsy, Gu Xin asked uncle Zhong to bring her to the secret room. All the descendants of the Bai family were ordered by Gu Xin to move within their own living quarters and were not allowed to walk around freely.
Uncle Zhong was an old man by the king of Dong Lin’s side, so he was naturally very familiar with the palace.
As Bai Baozhu had said, the secret room was clean, but the cleaner it was, the more suspicious it was.
When general Ying arrived, Gu Xin spoke to him for a while. General Ying was the youngest in the Ying family. He had previously led the troops to kunzhou to assist, so he knew Gu Xin.
Gu Xin also asked him about the Donglin royal family.
General Ying said that his sister-in-law’s older brother had a good relationship with the third master Bai. The two of them often went out to drink and play.
Gu Xin asked him if this third master Bai had any habits or characteristics.
General Ying didn’t treat Gu Xin as an ordinary lady and spoke his mind directly.
He told Gu Xin that third master Bai was good at playing and had more tricks up his sleeve. He liked all kinds of beautiful women. Today, he was gentle like water, but in two days, he might be hot and passionate. Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to be good-looking. Sometimes, the third master Bai would be stingy and use the excuse that he didn’t bring any money to ask general Ying’s sister-in-law’s brother to treat him. But sometimes, the third master Bai would be particularly generous and directly book the entire place. He acted especially well when he was stingy, but when he was generous, he spent a lot of money. It was really hard to recognize.
His words confirmed Gu Xin’s suspicion that the second and third master of the Bai family would often go out and play under different identities.
Gu Xin was curious if second and third Madam Bai could recognize her husband.
She already had an initial impression of the two women. The second Madam Bai was a straightforward person and was obviously a good housekeeper. The third Madam Bai was the depressed type. She gave off a feeling of pity. Her brows were always furrowed, as if she had a lot of things to worry about.
As for general Ying, he had only heard a little about the third master Bai. He didn’t know much about the rest of the Bai family.
As for the king of Dong Lin, general Ying had visited him a few times and looked up to him. General Ying also felt great pity for the death of the king of Dong Lin.
Gu Xin and general Ying had agreed to have a drink together after the case was over before sending general Ying off.
As for the men that general Ying brought, Gu Xin left 100 men behind to help out in the Wang Residence for the time being. To be honest, she was really afraid that the Wang Residence’s soldiers would e out and cause trouble. She only brought Bai Yi and Bai er with her, they wouldn’t be able to handle it.
After sending general Ying off, Gu Xin went to the mourning hall. Zheng Qiu had already restored the king of Dong Lin’s face and was washing his hands.
“How is it?” Gu Xin stepped forward and asked.
Zheng Qiu explained the problem that he had found.
“I’m not sure. As there were no wounds on the body, we can’t be sure if it was man-made or if he fell and hit the ground or somewhere else.” Zheng Qiu answered honestly.
“Alright. Xiao Qiu, e with me later. I’m going to start with the princess Consort.” Gu Xin nodded and said.
