Gu Xin asked Yun to send someone to call Xiao Shunzi.

Zheng Qiu has already put on Miss Feng San's clothes, so there is no need to avoid them.

After Xiao Shunzi arrived, he was as scared as Ying'er, but he was a man after all, so he still didn't tremble. He just didn't know why Gu Xin called him.

Gu Xin asked about the pastries, and Xiao Shunzi admitted that he met Que'er outside the kitchen. Que'er did give him two pieces, but he only ate one and left one for Butler Li.

Gu Xin chatted, how good Ying'er's craftsmanship was, and the Feng family didn't look like a family that couldn't afford pastries. The housekeeper who took care of the nursing home actually asked someone to leave a piece.

"Princess, something has been discovered." At this time, a person from the Yamen hurried over and said at the door.

"What?" Gu Xin looked over.

"Guard Bai led us to find a piece of jewelry and some blood stains in the woods to the west of the temple." The officer replied.

"Let's go!" Gu Xin called Zheng Qiu, followed him, walked to the door, stopped and said, "Mrs. Feng, please keep people away from this room. By the way, Yinger, Queer, Xiao Shunzi and Li Butler, keep them all in this room and I’ll have someone come over and watch.”

Yunshi nodded quickly.

Gu Xin and Zheng Qiu followed the government officials to the woods to the west.

When they were approaching the woods, Gu Xin looked at the sky and saw that it was past noon. They were going back to the city this morning and planned to have breakfast when they arrived, so neither of them had eaten yet.

Gu Xin could eat a jade bead herself, so she wasn't afraid of starving, but she couldn't feed it to Zheng Qiu, and Zheng Qiu often skipped meals, which made Gu Xin feel distressed.

She took out a candy from her small satchel, which she bought when she was shopping in Fucheng, Taizhou. She handed it to Zheng Qiu: "Eat a candy to keep up your strength. Let's go back to the temple after we finish the reading." Prepare some food."

Zheng Qiu was thinking about the case and didn't react for a moment, looking at Gu Xin blankly.

Gu Xin peeled off the candy wrapper, pressed a jade bead out, and asked Zheng Qiu to open his mouth.

Zheng Qiu opened her mouth, and Gu Xin fed it directly into her mouth.

Zheng Qiu: "!"

A sweet taste melted in her mouth, and Zheng Qiu suddenly woke up. She smiled and said, "It's so sweet, thank you Xinxin."

Gu Xin took one for herself and put her arm around Zheng Qiu's shoulders: "The last time I fed a little girl like this was when I was ten years old!"

Zheng Qiu knew that Gu Xin was talking about the princess Cheng Huaiyu of the West. She was very happy that Gu Xin regarded her as such a good friend.

"Let's go over and look for clues. Everyone must be tired and hungry. After we return to the temple from here, we will eat first. Only when our stomachs are full will we have the strength to work." Gu Xin hugged Zheng Qiu and walked Went into the woods.

At this moment, Bai Yi had already asked the government officials to surround the place where he found it, and was waiting for Gu Xin's arrival.

Seeing the two people approaching, Bai Yi came forward with something and handed it to them: "This should be the jewelry of the deceased."

Zheng Qiu nodded: "Yes, I only found one on the deceased's ear. This one is exactly the same as that one."

Gu Xin looked at the surrounded area: "That means this is the scene of the first crime. The blood on the ground should belong to the deceased."

The headman of the Taizhou government office came over and said, "The humble minister Chen Peng has seen Princess Xinxin from afar. The humble minister thinks that not all the blood stains on the ground belong to the deceased."
