My Entire Family’s Gone Haywire!

There's nothing much that can be seen from these grasses. After all, there must be help from someone around the well to get the body up.

However, there seemed to be a place on the edge of the well that was a little different, as if it had been scratched by something.

Gu Xin reached out and touched it, then squatted down and searched carefully in the weeds, and found that there was nothing on the ground except some pebbles.

She got up and looked around the courtyard wall again. The walls on the left and right were not as old as the wall on the gate side. It seemed that the construction of the walls on these two sides took a long time after the gate wall was built. The walls were covered with vines that had sprouted green buds.

"This is Miss Xie!" Suddenly, a trembling female voice in the hall brought Gu Xin back to her senses.

It seemed that someone recognized the deceased.

Gu Xin came to the main room again.

The person who spoke was an eighteen-year-old woman. Judging from her dress, she must be a young daughter-in-law.

"Third girl, this is the daughter-in-law of the opposite house, Mrs. Zhu." Zhang Bing stood next to Gu Xin and whispered.

Gu Xin nodded.

"Ms. Zhu, can you see clearly? This person is indeed Miss Xie in your mouth?" Captain Gao asked.

"Come on, brother, the civilian woman has seen it clearly. The civilian woman has seen Miss Xie several times." Mrs. Zhu carefully looked at it a few more times, and then pointed to the jade pendant around the waist of the deceased, "The jade pendant has the ring of the civilian woman." They usually do embroidery work and make loops for sale at Xie's embroidery shop. In the first month of the year, they sold loops, one of each style. Miss Xie was in the shop at the time and she liked it, so she took it away. Later, when a peasant woman saw Miss Xie on the street, she took this with her."

Only then did Gu Xin realize that the deceased was wearing men's clothes and seemed to be a lover of women disguising themselves as men. She had not noticed this when she was watching Zheng Qiu's autopsy just now.

"Is she the girl from Xie's embroidery shop in the south of the city?" Gao Captou asked with a frown.

"Well, yes, that's right. The peasant woman and her sister-in-law often go to their house to buy threads, and the embroidered things are sold to his house. The peasant woman has met Miss Xie several times," said Zhu.

Capt. Gao frowned even more tightly.

This girl from the Xie family disappeared. On February 2nd, Master Xie said something to her at home. She was upset and went out shopping, and then she never came home.

Mr. Xie had gone to report to the official position early in the morning on the third day of the lunar new year, and this Mr. Xie was the brother-in-law of their Fu Yin.

"Ms. Zhu, do you know who knows Miss Xie and this person from Xima Alley?" Seeing that Capt. Gao didn't say anything, Gu Xin asked.

Madam Zhu looked at Gu Xin with some fear.

"This is Princess Xinxin. The Emperor has specially issued an imperial edict for Princess Xinxin to assist in the investigation of the case at the Yamen." Gao Captou came to his senses and introduced his identity to Madam Zhu.

"Ah..." Madam Zhu's eyes lit up, Princess Xinxin, Princess Xinxin is so alive, she is no longer afraid of the dead person lying next to her.

"Well, Madam Zhu, please answer the question I just asked." Gu Xin said kindly.

"Oh, okay, princess. I don't know who knows Miss Xie or Xima Alley. Besides, Miss Xie is a delicate girl held in the palm of Master Xie and Mrs. Xie. She probably doesn't even know where Xima Alley is." , She probably doesn’t recognize the people here. She may have an impression of my sister-in-law and me, because she likes my sister-in-law’s embroidery.” Madam Zhu told her everything she knew.

Gu Xin nodded and glanced at Gao Captou again. Gao Captou completely understood what she meant and asked the yamen servant to call other people in. The next one was Madam Zhu's sister-in-law Ye Cuiru.
