2685 Chapter 2684-strange
The room’s decoration was simple. Other than the bed, there was only a washing rack with two basins on it.
Gu Xin walked over to take a look. The wooden washing rack was stained with blood, the basin was turned upside down, and there were also blood stains in the basin.
Other than that, there was only a square table and four long benches in the room, which were more or less stained with blood, including the windows and the walls.
Gu Xin looked at the bloodstains on the floor. There were obvious signs of someone being dragged. Then, she looked at the location where the victim was originally at, which Lord Xu had gotten someone to mark with a rope. It was obvious that the murderer had moved the victim to the bed.
There were two Coachmen, an attendant, and a manservant, a total of four people. From the positions marked on the rope, they were leaning against each other.
The bed was so big that there was enough space. The Mid-Autumn Festival had passed, and it was already September. The Hongyuan temple was on the mountain, so it was very cold at night.
However, there were enough blankets on the bed, so the four of them couldn’t be so close to each other.
Generally speaking, men slept on the same bed and did not have to lean against each other like young girls. Of course, this did not rule out the possibility that these four men did not sleep well.
“Lord Xu, have you roughly seen where their fatal injuries were?” Gu Xin asked.
“Princess, the four of them had their necks cut and died from bleeding. Other than a few bruises, there are no other injuries.” Lord Xu said. After he finished speaking, he looked like he wanted to say something but stopped.
“Lord Xu, if you have something to say, just say it.” Gu Xin could tell that he wanted to say something but stopped. She raised her eyebrows and said.
“Yes, Princess.” Lord Xu cupped his hands and said with a conflicted expression, ” when we entered, these four people all died with their eyes wide open. However, two of them were frightened, and two of them were smiling.
“A smiling one?” Gu Xin was also a little surprised.
“Yes, he’s smiling. The two Coachmen laughed in a particularly strange way. But Lord Wang’s personal attendant and servant were extremely terrified. This official had people close their eyes, but I don’t know if their expressions have changed after a day.” Lord Xu said.
“Yes, I know.” Gu Xin nodded her head.
Gu Xin walked around the house and looked at all the places that she could find. It was an ordinary house. Other than the blood stains and the daily use of the deceased, she did not find anything else.
Gu Xin ordered her men to guard this room and called Lord Xu to the next room.
The next room was the room where fatty Wang’s son, brother Hao’s nanny and the three maidservants lived.
This room was the same as the previous one. There was a large bed, a square table, long benches, and a washstand.
However, there was no smell of blood in this room. Instead, there was a fragrance. The maidservants had more luggage than the manservants, so they should be wearing some of their master’s things.
The fragrance wasn’t strong. It was just an ordinary incense, light and not pungent at all.
The room was clean and tidy, and the window was slightly open. If not for the fact that Lord Xu had someone use a rope to mark the death, it would have been impossible to imagine that there had been a murder here.
Not all four of them were lying on the bed, two of them were lying on the table. Gu Xin looked at the rope with the symbol on it and wondered what they were like. Lord Xu explained, ” “Your Highness, there are two servant girls here. They look like they are taking a nap on the table. When this official brought people here, they couldn’t tell that something had happened to them and only thought that they had fallen asleep.”
