Chapter 2686 No Fatal Wound

Speaking of this, Lord Xu pointed to the bed again: "The one lying on the bed is Hao'er's nurse. She looks like she is fast asleep, and her expression is very calm. Her hands are folded on her stomach, and she was covered with a quilt at the time. At the foot of the bed, there is another maid. I have seen her. She was sitting and leaning against the edge of the bed. She must have intended to light insect repellent incense, and then she fainted for some reason. There were also unlit incense and fire sticks on the ground in front of her. There is a small incense burner in the corner over there."

Gu Xin walked over and saw that Lord Xu had not asked anyone to move the incense and fire sticks on the ground, and the small incense burner was also there quietly.

Gu Xin squatted down, picked up the incense plate, and smelled it. It was indeed insect repellent incense.

She opened the lid of the small incense burner again. It was clean inside, and there was no incense ash. Maybe the maid of the Wang family used the incense burner she brought with her, or maybe she borrowed a new one from the temple. Anyway, there was no incense burner in the next room.

Gu Xin looked through the things the four people brought. They were all normal items, and there were obvious signs of use. They didn't look like they had been searched.

"Then don't they have fatal wounds?" Gu Xin asked.

"No." Lord Xu nodded heavily.

Why did he have to report to the capital and wait until someone from the capital came to investigate the case? It was because the death of the deceased in this case was too strange.

He didn't dare to move easily. He was afraid of destroying the evidence or losing the clues by moving things casually.

"Go to the next room." Gu Xin pursed her lips and said.

The next room was the room of the two maids. These two maids served the old lady. They lived in a small room on the other side of the main hall.

On the other side of the main hall, there were four rooms in total. Lord Wang and his wife lived in one room, the old lady lived in one room, Miss Wang and Hao lived in one room, and the remaining small room was where the two maids lived.

Thinking that the old lady was old and might need someone to take care of her at any time, the room where the maids lived was next to the old lady, and there was a door between the two rooms. This was also specially built by Hongyuan Temple for the convenience of people who needed care.

Gu Xin entered from the small room where the two maids lived.

In this small room, there were two small beds, separated by a square wooden cabinet as high as the bed.

This room smelled, the smell of insect repellent incense.

The small bed in this room was a bunk bed. Gu Xin squatted down and could see the insects that were killed by the incense under the bed.

There was no smell of blood in this room, but there were bloodstains on the bed. Maybe the smell of the insect repellent incense covered the smell of blood, or maybe the window was too big. After a day, the smell had dissipated.

"Master Xu, was the incense still burning when you came?" Gu Xin asked.

"It was burning. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. When someone came to move the body, I found that there was smoke in the incense burner. I didn't extinguish it on my own initiative, so I let it burn all the time." Lord Xu said.

"No." Gu Xin picked up the small incense burner on the bedside table and shook her head.

"Did I do something wrong?" Lord Xu asked guiltily.

"No. This small incense burner is exactly the same as the one in the maid's room. Moreover, there is too much incense ash in it. It doesn't look like a plate of insect repellent incense after it burns out." Gu Xin said in a deep voice.
