2156 Chapter 2156-something is wrong

In the letter, Bai Shijie mentioned that he had good intentions and did not seem to be dissatisfied with anyone in the family. Gu Xin felt that he probably inherited this from his father.

There was only one person who made Bai Shijie feel melancholic, and that was his blood-related sister, Bai Shiying.

The melancholy he felt about Bai Shiying was also mentioned this year.

This year, Bai Shijie had already written three letters, and it had not even been half a year.

There were a total of 28 letters, which were accumulated over the years after the death of the Crown Prince of Donglin. However, among the three letters this year, Bai Shijie wrote about his concern for his sister.

Bai Shiying was ranked fourth in the Wang Residence, but she was ranked first among the girls.

Like Bai Shijie, Bai Shiying was engaged a long time ago, even though she was not betrothed to him before she was born.

Moreover, Bai Shiying had three marriages arranged for her. The first was arranged by the Crown Prince of Donglin when she was two years old. He was the youngest son of a noble family in the prefecture of tai state. However, an accident happened at the beginning of last year. He was rowing a boat with a friend on the lake and had a drink. He fell into the lake and was not rescued in time.

Although the Crown Prince of the king of Dong Lin had passed away, the king of Dong Lin was still alive and well, so no one dared to say anything.

The second marriage was at the end of last year, when the king of Dong Lin felt that he was about to die. He loved his granddaughter Bai Shiying, just like how he loved Bai Baozhu. So, he personally chose a grandson-in-law.

In the end, the king of Dong Lin had made it through, but the grandson-in-law he had chosen had gone drinking in the first month of this year and died in a brothel.

The king of Dong Lin was furious. He felt that he had almost harmed his granddaughter, so he stopped arranging a marriage for her. He even said that Bai Shiying could marry someone he liked. If he didn’t have someone he liked, he would let his family take a look. After the look, Bai Shiying had to agree. If Bai Shiying didn’t agree, they wouldn’t force him.

In early March, Bai Shiying had really taken a fancy to one of them, and she had taken a fancy to his looks.

However, Bai Shijie knew that this person was a hypocrite. He even had a big fight with Bai Shiying because of this. The siblings had not spoken to each other for two months.

Therefore, Bai Shijie was worried about his younger sister’s marriage. An elder brother was like a father, and he could not do anything to his younger sister. He could only write it in a letter, hoping that one day his father would enter his dream and teach him.

Gu Xin had asked earlier and the wife of the Crown Prince said that Bai Shiying was not engaged. Hence, this matter was still put on hold. Bai Shijie should be worried because he knew that his sister had fallen for someone.

From the looks of it, these letters weren’t of much help to the case, but Gu Xin still got her men to keep them.

By then, Zheng Qiu had already made his decision.

The time of death was two hours ago. The cause of death was asphyxiation. However, there was a small amount of poison in Bai Shijie’s stomach. The poison was not fatal, but it could make people unconscious.

In other words, after Bai Shijie ate the poisoned tea, he passed out. His seven orifices were covered, and after struggling for a while when he woke up, he died of suffocation.

“Covering the seven holes, the two must be facing each other. The victim’s left hand had some scraps of skin, so the murderer’s right hand should be injured!” Gu Xin said.

Zheng Qiu did not answer. He stared at the piece of meat on the plate and felt that something was wrong.

“Constable Gao, ask the steward to call everyone in the Wang Residence here. I want to see them in half an hour. Including the princess Consort.” Gu Xin immediately gave the order. With such obvious characteristics, it would be easy to find.
