Chapter 2020 Speculation

"Then I pushed the door, but it didn't open. It was locked from the inside, so I kicked it and broke it. After the door opened, I saw Miss Li standing there, holding a bloody dagger, with her eyes closed as if she was scared. Then I ran to the window. There was no suspicious person downstairs, but there were footprints on the window."

Captain Gao asked again: "How can the princess be sure that there are no suspicious people on the street downstairs?"

Gu Xin pointed at Bai Er: "My secret guard did not go upstairs with me, but waited for me across the street. I asked him, and he didn't see anyone jumping out of the window. Of course, I don't know if he jumped down from here before I came."

Captain Gao clasped his fists: "Thank you for your cooperation, Princess."

Gu Xin nodded.

Captain Gao looked at Li Yuyan again: "Excuse me, why is Miss Li here? Do you know the deceased?"

Li Yuyan trembled and said: "I made an appointment with Miss Jiang Er and Miss Lu Si to drink tea here. After entering the house, there was only Miss Jiang Er's maid Xiao Cui, that is, the deceased. Xiao Cui said that Miss Jiang Er and Miss Lu Si would be here in a while, and asked me to wait. Then I sat down to drink tea, and then, then..."

Captain Gao looked at Li Yuyan patiently.

Li Yuyan squatted down and cried: "I don't know, I don't know why the dagger is in my hand, I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill anyone."

Li Yuyan had collapsed and couldn't stop crying.

Captain Gao asked someone to watch Li Yuyan and her maid, and asked someone to ask Lu Ni and Jiang Hong to notify the people in Li's house, and then asked someone to guard the door of this room.

Then while waiting for the prefect, Lu Ni and Jiang Hong, he began to interrogate the shopkeeper's waiter and the few guests in the teahouse.

The shopkeeper said that only the deceased Xiao Cui had come to the teahouse today, and Lu Ni and Jiang Hong had never been there. Xiao Cui came alone.

When Xiao Cui came, there were no guests downstairs, and she came early.

The guests downstairs were at least two people per table, and no one came to drink tea alone. As for the shopkeeper, the waiter, and the people in the kitchen, they were all the same as usual, doing their daily work.

While Captain Gao was interrogating people, Gu Xin looked at Li Yuyan, who was leaning on the maid and was emotionally unstable.

She suddenly found that she seemed to have evidence that Li Yuyan did not kill the person! I just don't know if this evidence is correct. She has never encountered a murder scene, and basically read Gu Ren's script.

She thought about it and decided to confirm it, so she got up and walked to Captain Gao: "Captain Gao, can I go upstairs to see the scene?"

Captain Gao looked at Gu Xin in surprise.

Princess Xinxin, who had been in the West and killed countless enemies, dared to see the dead and was so calm. If it were any other girl, she would have been trembling with fear.

Gu Xin thought he disagreed, and explained: "I won't touch the things inside, I will go in alone, you can have someone watch."

Captain Gao came back to his senses and nodded: "Okay, Princess, you go."

Gu Xin asked Dongxue to accompany Li Yuyan downstairs, and then took Bai Er upstairs and came to the murder scene again.

She went in alone and asked Bai Er and the yamen guarding the door to watch, and she would never touch anything inside.

She walked around the dead body and became more and more certain of her guess.

The person was not killed by Li Yuyan, but by someone else, and then put the dagger in Li Yuyan's hand. Moreover, there must be something wrong with the tea that Li Yuyan drank.
