Chapter 2070 Not From the Alley

At the beginning, during the first Lantern Festival in Kunzhou, many people were lucky enough to see Miss Gu San and Mr. Lu Er playing the qin and flute together. Everyone knew that they were born on the same day, and as for their age, it was no secret.

"Ah? Then I thought Xiaoqiu was the same age as me, but it turns out that she is older than me! Then I will call her Brother Qiu from now on!" Gu Xin thought to herself, either Zheng Qiu's declared age was wrong, or the information that Bai Yi and the others had accidentally obtained before was inaccurate.

Soon, they arrived at Xima Alley.

The entrance and exit of Xima Alley had been surrounded by people from the government office, but these constables were not from the Dali Temple, but from Jingzhao Prefecture.

Gu Xin got off the carriage and happened to see someone she knew, that is, the head of the case where Li Yuyan was wrongly accused, Constable Gao, a relative of the imperial concubine in the palace.

"Constable Gao!" Gu Xin walked over and patted him.

"Miss Gu San." Constable Gao knew last time that this princess liked people to call her a girl, so he didn't do a big ceremony.

"What's going on inside?" Gu Xin nodded and asked.

"The coroner of the Dali Temple is doing an autopsy." Captain Gao said.

"I am also a member of the yamen now, please allow me to go in and take a look!" Gu Xin said.

"Please, Miss San, I still need to ask people around here." Captain Gao also knew that Gu Xin had found the important clue of curly hair in the Wangjia Village case before, and was considered to be involved in the Wangjia Village case.

"Then I'll go first!" Gu Xin took Zhang Bing into the alley.

There are a total of twelve families in this alley, six on the left and right sides.

The yard where the accident happened is the second to last one from the innermost, and it happens to be adjacent to the yard where the mother and son of the Song family, the owner of this alley, live.

The body in the well has been fished out, and Zheng Qiu is doing an autopsy in the main hall. There are yamen runners guarding the gate of the yard. There is no one else in the hall except Zheng Qiu and a person who is recording.

After Zhang Bing followed him in, he went to the main hall, and Gu Xin fell behind.

"Miss San, don't!" Zhang Bing was about to remind Gu Xin, but Gu Xin had already entered the main hall.

The smell was not very pleasant, and the body was not very good-looking.

Gu Xin only wrinkled her nose, but did not step back.

Zheng Qiu nodded to Gu Xin and continued his work.

Gu Xin walked to Zheng Qiu and watched her movements.

After a while, she walked to the person who was recording and looked at his records.

The deceased was a woman, about sixteen years old, with no obvious fatal injuries on her body, but with scratches and wounds.

By the time Zheng Qiu finished checking and sewed up the body, it was late.

Outside, Captain Gao had already asked everyone in this alley.

"Zheng, in the past ten days, all the 39 people from the twelve households in this alley have not gone out, and no one is missing." Captain Gao came in and said.

"Well, the inspection has been completed. They can come in and see if this is someone they know." Zheng Qiu said.

After a while, Captain Gao came in with people.

There are still some weeds in this yard. The tenant was only decided yesterday, and they were going to clean it up today. The body was found before they started to clean up the yard, so the yard was overgrown with weeds and a bit desolate.

There were two ropes tied to the big tree in the yard. One rope should have been tied by the tenant, Mr. Liang, when he went down, and the other rope should have been tied by the people from the government office when they brought the body up.

Gu Xin walked around the well, and the grass around it had traces of being stepped on.
