2165 The rebirth murder case

After a pause, Gu Xin continued, ” there’s one more thing. It’s not important whether their Madam knows about it or not. What’s important is whether the eldest son of the second branch, Bai Shijun, knows about it or not. Think about it, once the king of Donglin and Bai Shijie die, the title will definitely not fall on brother Yi’s head, but on second brother Bai’s head. We were just analyzing whether the real third Bai would kill second Bai, so that he would have the title. Now, it seems that Bai Shijun is also suspicious.”

“Third miss,” Constable Gao continued,”the fourth branch is also very suspicious, considering the crown prince’s position. Think about it, if second Bai is really infertile, then the two sons of the second branch will definitely be third Bai’s. If this gets out, it’ll definitely be a scandal. If it reaches the Emperor, whether it’s the Donglin King’s letter of invitation when he was alive or the princess Consort’s letter of invitation, the Emperor definitely doesn’t want such a scandal to be the Crown Prince. If the Bai family can barely become the Crown Prince, then the Bai family’s fourth son will win.”

Gu Xin gave Constable Gao a thumbs up, ” you’re right. Fourth brother Bai’s behavior just now was also a little suspicious.

Constable Gao was very happy to be acknowledged. He asked excitedly,”What are we going to do next?”

Gu Xin waved her hand, ” Tell the brothers to keep a close eye on the remaining three brothers of the Bai family. By the way, pay more attention to the princess Consort as well. The rest could wait until he woke up. You and Bai Yi didn’t get much rest last night, don’t get too tired.”

Rest was important. Gu Xin and Zheng Qiu were still fine as they had slept in the carriage for a few hours last night. Constable Gao, Bai er, and the rest had been driving the carriage since yesterday afternoon and had not slept since.

Gu Xin added jade beads to the tea just now so all four of them had a share. It was a pity that second Bai was busy outside and didn’t get to drink it. Gu Xin could only let him drink it tomorrow.

After that, everyone went to make their own arrangements and then went to rest.

He slept all the way until daybreak, and white shirt came looking for him early.

“How is it? What did you find?” Gu Xin asked.

“Last night, second Bai, third Bai, and Bai Shijun were all in the study room. They did not rest at all, so it was not appropriate for us to peek. However, we’ve already seen fourth master Bai and the second son of the second branch, Bai Shilin, and they don’t have any scratches on their bodies.” White shirt said.

Gu Xin’s mouth twitched. It must have been hard on you guys to give her a physical examination.

“Ah!” Suddenly, a shrill scream was heard. Gu Xin and Bai Yi looked at each other. Gu Xin quickly walked towards the direction of the scream while Bai Yi stayed behind to call Zheng Qiu and lead the way.

This voice came from the third branch’s courtyard.

After Gu Xin arrived, the sound of third Madam Bai, Mrs. Jiang, and her two daughters crying could be heard.

“Husband, husband Xuanji”

“Father, father!”

Gu Xin walked into third master Bai’s study and saw the same scene as last night in Bai Shijie’s room.

Master Bai san’s body was hunched, his head looking up at the roof, his eyes still wide open.

The tea on the table was not knocked over. Gu Xin walked over and sniffed it. Then, she went to the window and looked outside.

Just like Bai Shijie’s study, third master Bai’s study had a lotus pond outside the window.

Gu Xin checked the window and found no traces. She climbed out and came to the Lotus pond where there was another pool of water.

The morning breeze blew, and the water in the pool shimmered.

At that moment, Zheng Qiu and Bai Yi arrived with a suitcase.

Third Madam Bai’s scream was so loud that the other members of the Bai family heard it.
