Chapter 265 The Trace of Exposure

Faced with Ye Shaohong's question, Zhou Haichao gave an awkward smile.

"They are from the Sun family."

"She's not a concubine of the Sun family."

In the short time it took to exchange a few words, everyone had already stepped into the Third Concubine's bedroom. Ye Shaohong looked up in the direction of the bed and a look of surprise appeared on his face for the first time.

"Old housekeeper?"

"How could he have died in the third concubine's room?"

Ye Shaohong had a deep impression of the old steward of the Sun family. After a brief encounter yesterday, Ye Shaohong felt that the old steward knew a lot of things.

His unyielding and rotten style of doing things made Ye Shaohong pay even more attention to him.

Ye Shaohong originally intended to find an opportunity in a few days to meet the old steward alone and obtain information about the Sun family mansion from him.

But the murderer behind this is too ruthless.

Before Ye Shaohong could even take any action, he couldn't wait to start eliminating any potential threats.

"not good."

"Dr. Zhou..."

Looking at the old steward's corpse lying on the third concubine's bed, Ye Shaohong's first thought was not why the old steward had died there.

It was not the body of the mysteriously missing third concubine.

Instead, it was Dr. Zhou from the small town who was called away this morning by a patient from the countryside, saying that he would have difficulty returning home tonight.

He was also someone who knew the truth about Sun Yihui's death on that stormy night.

The third concubine is dead, the old housekeeper is dead, and the doctor Zhou, who was summoned away under the pretext of examining a patient, is probably not in a good state either.

"Yunlong".

"I'm giving you a task: return to the town at the foot of the mountain immediately and find Doctor Zhou's whereabouts."

"I have only one request: I want to see the person alive or dead!"

Ye Shaohong was truly anxious; otherwise, he would never have stated the order directly in front of everyone.

After all, once the news gets out, it will also serve as a wake-up call for the person behind it all.

Li Yunlong didn't have so many concerns.

Upon hearing Ye Shaohong's words, he immediately raised his hand in salute, and then turned and ran out without hesitation.

Yu Manli and Zhuang Yifan didn't seem to have any opinion on this.

Ye Shaohong's intelligence and quick wit had long been ingrained in their minds.

But Zhou Haichao is different from Captain Zhu of the Hanyang County Police Bureau.

Neither of them had ever witnessed Ye Shaohong's methods.

Upon seeing Ye Shaohong enter, they were stunned. They had only just seen the deceased's face when they immediately thought of the danger that had never occurred.

shocked.

"Are these the personnel from the Jinling headquarters?"

"Such a quick reaction, that's amazing."

Captain Zhu didn't have the same complicated thoughts as Zhou Haichao. He just stared blankly at Li Yunlong's disappearing figure, and then remembered the military salute Li Yunlong gave to Ye Shaohong before leaving.

Captain Zhu's face turned pale instantly.

"Where's the autopsy report?"

"Let me see it!" Ye Shaohong had no time to pay attention to their rambling. Seeing that Li Yunlong had already left, he asked again.

"Yes, I'm here."

Captain Zhu shuddered and, before Ye Shaohong could ask any more questions, immediately stepped forward and handed over the cardboard document he was holding.

"A direct stab through the heart?"

"Your technique is very skillful."

As he murmured to himself, Ye Shaohong walked to the bedside of the third concubine. He lowered his head and looked at the old steward's corpse.

Seeing the lingering shock on the old butler's face, Ye Shaohong narrowed his eyes again.

"interesting."

"By observing the expression on his face at the moment of death, we can conclude that the old butler must have known the murderer. "And he must have been quite familiar with him."

"Otherwise, the murderer wouldn't have had the chance to stab him in the heart head-on, leaving the old butler no chance to resist or fight back."

"The Sun family..."

Ye Shaohong shook his head. He looked down at the autopsy report in his hand again and found that the contents were very hasty and simple.

They didn't even carefully examine the fingernails, the color of the blood, or whether there were any other injuries on the body.

That's too perfunctory.

He was disappointed, and not wanting to touch the old butler's corpse himself, Ye Shaohong could only turn around and look at Zhuang Yifan.

"Yifan!"

"Yes!"

Zhuang Yifan had been following Ye Shaohong for quite some time and had gained a certain understanding of Ye Shaohong's thoughts. Without waiting for Ye Shaohong to speak, he stepped directly to the bedside.

They began to examine the old butler's body bit by bit.

"No broken bones throughout the body, normal blood color, and no abnormalities in the fingernails..."

"There's blood here..."

Zhuang Yifan took the old butler's left hand, deliberately showing his middle finger, and presented it to Ye Shaohong.

"Carefully remove it and check for any remaining flesh or blood."

"If so, the old butler might have slashed the murderer before he died."

Ye Shaohong was very satisfied with Zhuang Yifan's caution, and the bloodstains left under the old butler's fingernails also added a clue to his investigation.

"After checking, there is indeed a piece of flesh and blood."

"It's a pity that there's too little flesh and blood. It's probably just a mark left by a fingernail. We can't confirm whether the killer is male or female, or which part of the body it was torn from."

Zhuang Yifan pulled out the dagger he carried with him from his calf and carefully pried out the small piece of flesh from between the old butler's fingernails.

He examined it closely for a moment, then shook his head sadly.

"It's okay, as long as there are traces."

"Yifan, you've been practicing martial arts for over ten years. Can you determine the location of the murderer by looking at the dagger mark on the old butler's chest?"

"Also, can you deduce the killer's height?"

Ye Shaohong had also used this method before. When he first transmigrated to this world, he was framed and almost lost his life.

Ultimately, it was through this method that Ye Shaohong helped Zheng Yaoxian confirm the murderer's height. He believed that Zhuang Yifan should also have this ability.

"it should be OK."

"Deputy Section Chief Zhou, come and lend me a hand. Help me lift the old housekeeper's body up."

"No... it's not about helping him up from the bed, it's about making him stand on the ground."

"Okay, don't move, hold on tight, give me a few minutes."

Seeing Zhou Haichao step forward with a frustrated expression and help the old butler up by the shoulder, Zhuang Yifan flicked his dagger, first shaving off the flesh and blood from the blade.

Then he took the dagger and kept changing his position, squatting down with his feet raised.

Slowly, Zhuang Yifan finally managed to insert the dagger in his hand, little by little, into the old butler's chest wound.

"Found her." "Team leader, if my judgment is correct, the murderer who killed the old butler should be a woman!"

"Her height is no more than 1.6 meters!"
