2260 The hidden cave
“Princess, did you find anything?” Mountain Leader Feng asked in a hurry.
“I’ve found something,” Gu Xin nodded and looked at que ‘er, ” que’ er, can you recognize this? are these miss Feng san’s clothes? ”
Que ‘er looked at blood robes, walked over, and then squatted down.
A bailiff approached with a torch to give her some light.
Que ‘er looked at it for a long time before she replied,”Princess, I’m not sure.” There’s so much blood on these clothes. It seems to be, but it also doesn’t seem so.”
Gu Xin raised her brows and asked the other maids to identify it.
“It’s third miss’s clothes. This skirt was previously hung by a stone, and the silk is all gone.”
“It seems so. Third young lady tripped while walking yesterday. We even went to help her up, but we didn’t have time to say it.”
Two servant girls whispered in each other’s ears. Their voices were very soft but Gu Xin heard them.
Gu Xin recognized the two of them. They were the maidservants of first miss Feng and second miss Feng.
“Que ‘er, are you really unable to recognize it?” she asked, looking at que’ er again.
Que ‘er’s hand trembled as she replied, ” Princess, I remember now. Yesterday, when you were walking, you tripped over a stone and your skirt was hooked. At that time, you were in a bad mood, so I didn’t mention it. I thought that you would change your clothes every day, so I forgot about it. Now I remember.
Gu Xin’s lips curled up. Que ‘er was probably not sure that she could hear the whispers of the two maids!
Heh, how interesting, this que ‘er is very suspicious!
He might not be the murderer, but he was most likely an accomplice.
“Princess, why are Jinshu’s clothes here? Didn’t they say that Jinshu’s injuries weren’t enough to bleed so much? Why are your clothes stained with blood?” Mountain Leader Feng asked in confusion.
“Miss Feng San didn’t lose much blood, but Mountain Leader Feng, you saw miss Feng SI’s body with your own eyes. Say, if they were killed in the same place at the same time, would Feng san’s body be stained with blood?” Gu Xin retorted.
“H-how is this possible?” Mountain elder Feng was shocked and said, ” Jinshu died next to Qiyun temple. If she was killed at the same time and place, there would be no time to send her back to the Feng Manor.
“There is still time. As long as we don’t take the road down the mountain from the xiyun temple!” Gu Xin shook her head and said, ” Mountain Leader Feng, you can wait for a while. We’ll know if we can make it in time after that.
“Princess, there’s a discovery! There’s a cave here!” Suddenly, Constable Chen Peng from the Magistrate Court shouted from afar.
The cave was a little far from the flat ground, and it took them a while to reach it. By the time they arrived, the sky had already turned completely dark.
The cave was very well hidden. The surroundings were filled with messy bushes and all kinds of vines that had been cut down by Chen Pengyuan and the bailiffs. Even the entrance of the cave was surrounded by vines, which had been cut out by Chen Pengyuan.
The bailiff who had followed Chen Pengyuan had already entered the cave, and everything in the cave was very clear.
Gu Xin and Zheng Qiu walked in and the first thing they saw was a male corpse lying beside a extinguished fire.
The man’s clothes were disheveled, and there were many scratches on his face. His hair was messy, and his face could not be seen.
Chen Pengyuan was combing the male corpse’s hair to the sides, trying to get a clear look at the male corpse’s face.
“The Qi family’s Jade son!” Suddenly, Chen Pengyuan exclaimed.
