After a busy night, when Chu Yunxi walked out of Gao's house, it was already dawn. She rubbed her sore arm. It was another sleepless night.
Gao was still crying at the door, Li Jinghong was asking Chen Shining for a confession, and other detectives from the Dali Temple were also busy, some transporting the bodies, some sealing off the scene.
Seeing that Chu Yunxi looked very bad, Xiao Mubei said, "There's nothing to do here. You've been busy all night. Go back and get some sleep."
Chu Yunxi indeed felt very tired, but she did not try to show off her strength. After all, she could not compare with these people with internal strength.
"Okay, then I'll go back first." After Chu Yunxi said this, she saluted to Xiao Mubei, then got into the carriage yawning, still escorted by Bai Yu.
Chu Yunxi didn't let Bai Yu send her back to the palace. She went straight back to the Dali Temple. She hadn't slept in the bedroom in the courtyard yet. She had been working non-stop since she came to the Dali Temple. Her luck was really good.
It was the same when she was in the Special Medical Bureau. Whenever she was in the bureau, there would be murders eight out of ten times. So why was her autopsy technique so good? It was something she had practiced!
The bedroom in the courtyard was well furnished. Xiao Mubei had thought of it very carefully. Not only were the beddings soft and fragrant, but what was even more rare was that there was a special place for bathing. This was probably because he took into consideration that Chu Yunxi often needed to perform autopsies, and if she didn't take a shower before going to bed after returning home, she might not sleep well.
In fact, Chu Yunxi didn't care. She had worked overtime so many times that she was so tired that she fell asleep immediately. She didn't care about that.
But it's better to have something than nothing. There were servants in the courtyard. When they saw Chu Yunxi coming back covered in dust, they immediately brought her hot water with a considerate look.
After taking a shower, Chu Yunxi changed into the clothes that Xiao Mubei had prepared in advance, and took a quick nap. When she woke up, it was already afternoon. Her stomach was growling with hunger. Chu Yunxi rubbed her stomach and walked out of the room, just in time to see Bai Yu coming over with food.
"Girl, you woke up just in time. Come over for dinner." Bai Yu smiled and invited her to Xiao Mubei's study.
Chu Yunxi was a little confused, so she walked over and asked, "Has the prince not eaten yet?"
"The prince just came back from work, and thought the girl would soon wake up, so he asked the kitchen to prepare something and eat with her."
As they were talking, the two had already entered the study. Chu Yunxi looked at Xiao Mubei and Bai Yu, who had almost not slept for two days and one night and were still in high spirits, and couldn't help but once again envy these people who knew martial arts and had internal strength.
"Your Highness, do you have any idea?" Chu Yunxi sat down and unceremoniously picked up a golden shrimp ball and stuffed it into her mouth. Her taste buds were immediately greatly satisfied.
Xiao Mubei sat down in front of her, helped her pick up another piece of sauced pork ribs and put it on the plate, and said, "We have checked all the relatives and neighbors of the Gao family, but there are no clues for the time being. No one has heard that the Gao family has offended anyone. Mr. Gao is usually a kind person, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law is very harmonious. He doesn't have such a deep hatred with anyone."
Chu Yunxi listened while eating. When she had some free time, she asked, "What about the servants in Gao's house? Did they have any conflicts with anyone?"
Xiao Mubei shook his head, "I haven't heard of it either."
Chu Yunxi said, "There are four murderers, and they all used the same murder weapon. They are obviously organized. They are either a group of assassins or secret guards raised by a wealthy family. I am more inclined to believe that they are secret guards, because if someone hired assassins for such a weak family, they wouldn't have hired so many."
Xiao Mubei pondered for a while, "If you follow your line of thought, those who can raise secret guards are usually powerful people in the court, but the Gao family is not an official, and even the son-in-law Chen Shining is just a small official. Besides, the other party did not attack Chen Shining. Why would a person of high position and power send secret guards to attack a small Gao family?"
Chu Yunxi didn't know either. She could only infer this based on the existing clues. After quickly filling her stomach, she stood up and said, "I'll go take a look at the bodies of the Gao family. By the way, Bai Yu, bring all the weapons of those who attacked us last night so I can compare them."
Bai Yu left in response, and Xiao Mubei also stood up, "I'll go with you."
Chu Yunxi raised her eyebrows, "Don't you want to eat something?"
She was the one eating just now. Xiao Mubei hardly touched his chopsticks. He was just analyzing the case with her.
Xiao Mubei said calmly: "I'm not hungry. It doesn't matter if I eat at night. The investigation is more important."
Unexpectedly, he is such a workaholic leader. Originally, I thought that he came to the Dali Temple as a prince just to facilitate the investigation of the case of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion. Unexpectedly, he is so concerned about ordinary cases, which makes Chu Yunxi look at him with admiration.
The two came to the morgue of Dali Temple. This was where Chu Yunxi would work mainly in the future. Although the place was not small, it was now full, and each corpse was covered with a white cloth.
Bai Yu quickly came over with a weapon. Chu Yunxi casually opened a corpse and found out it was a servant who was killed with a single knife.
Chu Yunxi took a knife and compared it carefully to the wound. After a moment, she changed to another one. After comparing several people in a row, Chu Yunxi looked up and nodded to Xiao Mubei affirmatively, "Yes, it is this kind of knife. Although it is not the same one, no matter the thickness and length of the wound, it can be compared."
Xiao Mubei said in a deep voice: "You mean, the people who killed the Gao family are the same people who attacked us last night?"
Chu Yunxi nodded, "It is basically certain. If this is true, I am afraid that one of the purposes of annihilating the Gao family is to lure you over and then ambush you on the way."
"Are these people crazy?" Xiao Mubei slammed the door hard. Chu Yunxi felt the morgue tremble three times. "In order to kill me, they killed innocent people so recklessly. In their eyes, human life is so cheap?"
Bai Yu rarely saw Xiao Mubei so angry. He was so scared that he took a step back, pursed his lips and dared not speak.
Chu Yunxi patted Xiao Mubei's shoulder and said, "It may not be purely for the purpose of killing you. According to my guess, the extermination of the Gao family was probably not a random choice. There must be other reasons."
Bai Yu's eyes widened. How dare the girl pat His Highness's shoulder? Isn't this an act of insubordination?
The person being bullied was unaware of it. Xiao Mubei even looked into Chu Yunxi's eyes and asked seriously, "Why?"
Chu Yunxi shrugged, "Intuition, I always feel that there is no need to go to such great lengths to lure you out."
Killing people is a strenuous job. Murder cases in the capital are under the jurisdiction of the Dali Temple anyway. If you want Xiao Mubei to go to the scene, he can just kill a few people. It seems a bit too much trouble to find a wealthy family to wipe out the whole family.
It's not unreasonable. Xiao Mubei still suppressed his anger in his heart and said coldly: "What's the reason? Just ask and you'll know. Bai Yu, protect the girl. I'll go meet that person."
