Chapter 2071 Someone Knows

These grasses can't tell anything. After all, there must be someone around the well who helped to get the body out.

There seems to be something different on the edge of the well, as if it was hit by something.

Gu Xin reached out to touch it, then squatted down and looked carefully in the weeds, and found that there was nothing else on the ground except some small stones.

She stood up and looked around the courtyard wall again. The walls on the left and right sides were not as old as the wall on the gate side. It seemed that the time to build these two walls was long after the gate wall. The wall was covered with vines that had already grown green buds.

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

It seems that someone has recognized the deceased.

Gu Xin came to the main hall again.

The person who spoke was an eighteen-year-old woman. Judging from her dress, she should be a young wife.

"Miss San, this is the daughter-in-law of the family opposite, Zhu." Zhang Bing stood beside Gu Xin and whispered.

Gu Xin nodded.

"Mrs. Zhu, did you see clearly? Is this person the Miss Xie you mentioned?" Captain Gao asked.

"Captain, hurry up, I saw clearly, I have seen Miss Xie several times." Zhu looked at it carefully for a few more times, and then pointed at the jade pendant on the waist of the deceased, "The thread of the jade pendant was made by me. I usually do embroidery and make threads to sell at Xie's embroidery shop. I sold threads once in the first month of the year, one for each style. Miss Xie was in the shop at that time, and she liked this, so she took it away directly. Later, I saw Miss Xie wearing this on the street."

Gu Xin realized that the deceased was wearing men's clothes, and it seemed that she was also a fan of dressing up as a man. She didn't notice this when she was watching Zheng Qiu's autopsy just now.

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

"Yes, that's right, that's right. I and my sister-in-law often go to their house to buy thread, and we also sell the embroidered things to their house. I have seen Miss Xie several times." Zhu said.

Captain Gao frowned even more.

This girl from the Xie family disappeared. On the second day of the second lunar month, Master Xie said a few words to her at home. She was unhappy and went out shopping, and then she never went home.

Master Xie had already gone to the police early in the morning on the third day of the first lunar month, and this Master Xie was the brother-in-law of their prefect.

"Madam Zhu, do you know who this girl Xie knows in Xima Lane?" Seeing that Captain Gao didn't say anything, Gu Xin asked.

Madam Zhu looked at Gu Xin with some fear.

"This is Princess Xinxin. The emperor has issued an imperial decree to let Princess Xinxin assist in the investigation of the case in the government office." Captain Gao came back to his senses and introduced his identity to Madam Zhu.

"Ah..." Madam Zhu's eyes lit up. Princess Xinxin, a living Princess Xinxin, she is not afraid of the dead person lying next to her now.

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

"Oh, okay, Princess. I don't know who Miss Xie is familiar with from Xima Alley. And Miss Xie is a pampered girl who is held in the palm of the hand by Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie. She probably doesn't even know where Xima Alley is, and probably doesn't recognize people from our side. Maybe she has an impression of me and my sister-in-law, because she likes my sister-in-law's embroidery." Madam Zhu told everything she knew.

Gu Xin nodded and glanced at Captain Gao again. Captain Gao understood her meaning completely and asked the yamen runners to call in other people. The next one was Madam Zhu's sister-in-law Ye Cuiru.
