2261 Chapter 2261-bead
Gu Xin and Zheng Qiu quickly walked over.
“Princess, this is Qi yulang, the young master of the Qi family!” Chen Pengyuan raised his head in disbelief and said to Gu Xin.
“Are you sure?” Gu Xin looked at the unrecognizable corpse and confirmed.
She didn’t know Qi yulang, nor had she seen him before. However, the face of the male corpse on the ground had been cut many times by a knife, and it was already a bloody mess.
Therefore, she wanted to confirm with Chen Pengyuan that it was very likely that she had mistaken him for someone else.
“I confirm.” Chen Pengyuan turned the man’s body over, revealing the back of his neck. He pointed to a scar on his neck and said, ” this scar was caused by my mistake, so I’m very sure that this is young master Qi yulang. When I was chasing after a thief, I accidentally injured young master Qi. Not only did young master Qi not blame me, he even went to the Yamen to be a witness. For this wound, this humble servant spent some silver to buy some ointment for blood scars from the palace for young master Qi. Young master Qi knew that this humble servant’s family was not rich, so he accepted this humble servant’s ointment and also helped this humble servant in other ways.”
“Xiao Qiu, do you want to do the autopsy here or send the body back to the temple?” Gu Xin nodded her head and turned to ask Zheng Qiu.
“Carry him back to the temple! This subordinate will return to the temple with the others and Princess will look for other evidence here, is that alright?” Zheng Qiu made a decision after some thought.
“Alright,” he said. Gu Xin nodded and turned to Chen Pengyuan, ” Constable Chen, arrange for someone to send the corpse back. Stay behind and check the scene with me!
Chen Pengyuan called someone over and made a simple frame to carry the corpse. Zheng Qiu followed behind them and left.
Gu Xin looked around the cave. It was not big and there were signs of animals and human activity.
She found a few large circles of hemp rope. There was something very thin and strong in the hemp rope. Without thinking, it must be a tool used to tie it to a tree and transport the body down the mountain.
“Constable Chen, take a look. Is this the blood of a human or an animal?” Gu Xin noticed some of the rice in the corner that was stained with blood and immediately called Chen Pengyuan over.
Gu Xin felt that this detective was quite capable and had a lot of experience in handling cases. He should know how to distinguish the blood stains of animals from humans.
Chen Pengyuan walked over. After careful identification, he was inclined to believe that it was a human’s blood.
Suddenly, under the light of the fire, something in the straw reflected light and was caught by Gu Xin in an instant.
Gu Xin squatted down and pushed the straw aside. She picked up the reflective object and saw that it was a Jade bead.
Of course, it wasn’t a Jade bead that she could press out with her hand. It was really a bead made of Jade.
It was crystal clear and reflected light.
The bead was stained with a little blood.
Gu Xin showed it to Chen Pengyuan. get someone to look around. See if you can find a bead like this.
“Princess, Constable, there’s one here.” As soon as Gu Xin finished speaking, a sharp-eyed bailiff found one in a pile of rocks.
“Pick it up and bring it over!” Gu Xin said.
The bailiff picked up the bead and walked over.
Gu Xin compared the two beads and confirmed that they were from the same accessory.
“Let’s keep looking and see if we can still find it.” Gu Xin instructed.
Thus, the government laborers in the cave began to search for the Pearl.
Gu Xin combed through the case in her mind and looked at the place where Qi yulang’s body was lying. Three entangled men and women had died at the same time. Was this a premeditated love murder or something else?
