My Entire Family's Gone Haywire!

Constable Gao and his men went to ask around, but they didn’t find anything suspicious. The whole village said that they had seen their family yesterday, but they didn’t see anyone today.

They didn’t have any guests.

The coroner also examined the family and found that they had been poisoned. All the women had their hair cut and died from several cuts.

The family’s bodies were not in the same room, but in their own rooms. There was no trace of a dispute at the scene.

However, according to the information from Constable Gao, the door and the kitchen of this family were all locked from the inside, and so were the windows. How did the murderer escape?

Because their family had a lot of pigs and chickens, they also had dogs. However, the neighbors never heard the movement next door from night to day. In the past, they could even hear the crying of the children in this family.

The capital governor’s office investigated for a few days, but there were no results. Everyone in the Wang village was in a state of panic, and the case was transferred to the Supreme Court.

Lu Zheng told Gu Xin what he knew.

“Brother Yuanyuan, did the coroner find out the cause of their death? The men were poisoned, but what about the women? Was the woman poisoned? Also, the woman’s hair had been cut off, and she had been stabbed several times. Was there only a knife wound? Was there anything else? Did all the women die in the same way? Was there anyone who was more miserable? Also, has the poison been identified? Did the poisoner put the poison in the food, in the water jar, or in the well?” Gu Xin immediately got off the horse and walked with Lu Zheng.

“I’m not sure about that. Since the Emperor has allowed you to investigate this case, you can go and read the dossiers. The official in charge of this case was the newly appointed junior official of the Supreme Court, Lord Qin. He was more old-fashioned and unsmiling, but he had a lot of experience in handling cases. He had no prejudice against men and women, and he had a female coroner with him. So, if he’s cold to you, don’t think that he’s targeting you. He’s like that to everyone.” Lu Zheng said.

“A coroner in a carriage!” Gu Xin was shocked.

“Yes, I am. This coroner was an orphan. She was adopted by an old coroner in a County in Jiangnan. She had been learning from the old coroner since she was young and had a lot of experience. This time, her brother-in-law had been transferred to Jiangnan. The Emperor had transferred her back, so Mr. Qin had taken her back to the capital. However, no one knows that she’s a girl yet. I only found out by accident.” Lu Zheng paused and continued, ” this girl’s life was a little rough. She came back to the capital with a purpose. She’s not a bad person.

“Brother Yuanyuan, you seem to know a lot.” Gu Xin was jealous. Her brother Yuan Yuan rarely paid attention to girls from other families.

it’s all because of Li Shan’s incident. Bai Yi had been watching her and found out that there was something fishy about the Zheng family. Later, Bai Yi was bored and investigated. She found out that this girl was the daughter of the Zheng family’s legal wife, the same age as you. Her stepmother had maliciously lost her, causing her older brother to be crippled and her younger brother to be raised wrongly. This girl wanted to return to the capital to take revenge. Mr. Qin also knows about this.” Lu Zheng explained. He knew about this in his previous life.

The Zheng family of the Marquis of Yong ‘an was the maiden family of Qi Wang Fei. However, they had also declined. In the previous life, miss Zheng was famous for her pair of skillful hands that helped the dead to seek justice. Of course, in the end, she also took revenge and pulled her own brother back to the right path.
