Prince’s Multifaceted Wife - C244
ZhiNing pulled Bing’er and quickly caught up with the servant girl. She let go of Bing’er and called out to her, “This lady, please stay here.”
The young maid stopped in her tracks, turned around and looked around. Then, she looked at Bing’er and Zhining, and asked respectfully, “Are you two calling me?” There was no other woman around. Presumably, these two people were calling her.
“We are soldiers under the old general. We were saved on the battlefield by him many years ago. We are very grateful to the old general. Now that he is no longer here, we would like to visit him in his room and miss him. I hope you can tell us where the old general’s room is. ” Bing-Er looked at the maid sadly and said.
The young maid smiled in satisfaction and pointed at the endless corridor, “Walk along this corridor and turn right at the end. The first room is the old general’s room.”
Bing’er and Zhining looked at each other and smiled. “Thank you, Miss.”
The young maid smiled at the two of them and then slowly left.
ZhiNing and Bing’er walked forward, one in front and one behind. On the left side of the corridor, there was a corridor that stretched out as far as the eye could see. Between the two corridors was a lotus pond. However, Bing’er and Zhining did not have the time to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
On another long corridor, Gu Ziming walked slowly from the opposite direction of Bing’er and Zhining towards the courtyard.
Bing’er caught sight of Gu Ziming out of the corner of her eye, and quickly lowered her head to prevent Gu Ziming from noticing her.
His heart grew heavier with every step. His father had fought in the battlefield all his life, killing countless enemies. In the end, he had killed himself. His illustrious reputation had been ruined! He was really sad! He had suspected that his father hadn’t committed suicide, and that someone had framed his father. But with the evidence in front of him and the coroners examining his father’s corpse, he couldn’t help but believe that the results were the same.
Gu Ziming sighed deeply, then raised his head to look in front of him. The situation had already reached this point, and he had no other choice but to accept it!
Just as he raised his head, he caught sight of two soldiers walking quickly towards the other side of the long corridor from the corner of his eyes. With one glance, he retracted his gaze and continued looking in front of him.
Gu Ziming took a deep breath and nodded. “Don’t worry, brothers. Zi Ming won’t fall because of what happened to my father.”
The two middle-aged generals let out a sigh of relief in relief, then turned around and walked side by side with Gu Ziming towards the courtyard.
Bing’er hurried forward, her steps messy, as if she was afraid that Gu Ziming would notice her. It wasn’t until she passed Gu Ziming that she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, Gu Ziming didn’t notice her presence. She quickened her pace. Although Gu Ziming didn’t recognize her, she still couldn’t let her guard down. She had to get out of Gu Ziming’s sight as soon as possible.
Gu Ziming and the two middle-aged men walked side by side along the long corridor until they reached the courtyard. Just as they walked down the long corridor, the two generals parted ways with Gu Ziming. He walked towards the corpse of the old general by himself. Today was the last day the old general stayed at the manor, and it was also the last time for the old general at his waist. When he walked behind Bing-Er, he glanced at her and looked away. When he looked away, his face changed and he turned around to look at the long hallway. His heart skipped a beat and he walked to the hall.
ZhiNing walked in front of Bing’er, and when they reached the end of the corridor, she turned to the right and saw the old general’s room. At the door of the room, two maidservants were standing guard, guarding the old general’s room.
As if pretending to walk past the old general’s room, the two maidservants didn’t seem to care about ZhiNing at all as they looked ahead of them.
Just as ZhiNing passed by the two maidservants, she suddenly pressed the acupoints of the two maidservants, causing them to fall limply on the ground. Bing’er and ZhiNing then pulled the two maidservants into the old general’s room. ZhiNing let go of the maidservant in her hands and began searching around the old general’s room. Bing’er stood up and closed the door to the room, then looked for clues with Zhining.
ZhiNing first looked for the old general’s big bed. The bed was clean and tidy, and the head of the bed was made of red wood.
ZhiNing turned over the bed, checked the rest of her life on the bed, then laid under the bed and checked carefully, but there was nothing there. With a deep sigh, she neatly arranged the quilt on the bed as if it had never been turned over. She looked around the bed and then at the little qilin on the head of the bed. She saw that the little qilin’s feet seemed to have something between them and the clouds. She quickly went to the bedside cabinet and reached out her hand to take out the little thing between the little qilin’s feet and the clouds.
ZhiNing hid the paper inside her sleeve, then turned around to look at Bing’er, “Did you find anything?”
Bing-Er shook her head and said, “I think everything in here has been searched countless times by the patrolling master. It must be difficult to find any other evidence.” The eyes of the Southern Ocean were sharp. He would not let go of anything suspicious.
“No matter how many people have come to this room before, we have to carefully search for them. There are some things that don’t seem very eye-catching, and they are extremely likely to be ignored by others. However, they are also very likely to be the most important evidence.” ZhiNing solemnly told Bing’er, “Finding evidence at the scene of the crime, that’s the most important point. Be careful, you must not relax your search here just because this place has been searched. This is the most important point of the crime scene investigation.”
Bing’er nodded to Zhining, “Yes.” Then she turned to examine the bookcase beside her.
As soon as she walked up to the table, she heard with her sharp ears that a lot of people were running towards them from outside the room. Shocked, she ran over to Bing’er and grabbed her little hand, “Let’s go.”
“Why?” Bing-Er frowned. She hadn’t searched the old general for his summer vacation yet. Maybe there was some important evidence!
Zhi Ning ignored Bing’er, just holding her hand and running towards the door. However, it was too late as there were a lot of people standing outside the door, surrounding the room.
Bing’er was stunned. No wonder Zhining wanted to bring her away from here.
Without thinking, ZhiNing stood in front of Bing’er.
“Bam.” The door of the room was kicked open in the outside corner, and a large number of soldiers swarmed into the room and tightly surrounded the two of them.
Gu Ziming was still dressed in his white silk clothes, and a layer of ice-cold chill covered his handsome face. He slowly walked into the room and stood in front of Zhining and Bing’er, looking at them coldly.
Bing’er was startled by Gu Ziming’s cold gaze, and quickly lowered her head to look at the ground.
ZhiNing took a step to the right without leaving a trace, blocking in front of Bing’er. He looked at Gu Ziming without fear. They were here to help him, so why should they be afraid?
