Chapter 441 Discussing Countermeasures
"There is nothing to do. We don't know the origin of the killer. It is not easy to find the source of the murder weapon alone. The dagger is not necessarily made by the artisans of the capital. The mansion does not have strong resources to find a needle in a haystack. We still have to rely on external forces, and external forces must Will take the initiative to come to the door."

"So sure?"

"Of course, as long as we send maids to the door tomorrow to refund the booking fee to the guests who booked the tea room, those young ladies will naturally spread the news to the palace for us. One thing comes to mind.”

"Hmph, for the credit you made during the Chinese New Year, the person behind the scenes wants to create a fake case of robbery and murder, but you didn't die, and you snatched the murder weapon, which immediately exposed the true intentions of the person behind the scenes. The nature of the case It became a definite murder."

"Some things are not mentioned by the parties, but they are said by other people. As long as the news enters the palace, the East Palace will naturally respond, and the crown prince and princess must also think of something."

"Prince Ruren's suicide apology is doubtful." Gu Yun's thinking was the same as Bai Kou's.

"Such an interesting case within a case, you have to follow up the progress carefully, and you will have material to write a theory in the future." Bai Kou lightly raised her right hand and placed it on Gu Yun's back and patted it two or three times.

"Okay, let's make this case a big one, and drive those ghosts and monsters hiding under the water to the sun to see what they look like."

"Now this matter is too involved. You can't make the decision alone. It's better to discuss it with the old man first. However, it is an established fact that the business of the teahouse will be damaged in the next month. What should be done now is to turn bad things into good things. .”

"Okay, rest, don't use your brain, I know what you want to do. Since we took the initiative to refund the compensation, those young ladies must ask the reason, just to tell you about your injury. We didn't lie , we are telling the truth, as for what other people want to discuss, my boss who is in a state of distress can no longer care about it."

"Don't forget to complain to your friends at the government school tomorrow."

"Can't you think about things and let your mind stop for a while?"

"Can't do anything, it's boring."

"Take it as a holiday these days, take a good rest, don't need to get up early in the morning, and sleep late."

"Then what about your diet?" Bai Kou nudged Gu Yun and talked to him face to face. The cook is her job, so you have to ask clearly.

"The girls under your command don't know how to cook? You write the menu and ask them to cook. If I am satisfied with the cooking, you will be relaxed in the future. Isn't it just right to kill two birds with one stone?" Gu Yun raised his hand and lightly scratched Bai Kou's nose, and finally there was a smile on his face. A smile.

Bai Kou smiled and frowned, nodding repeatedly.

"If you're seriously injured, act like you're seriously injured. You'll be resting in the courtyard for a few days." Gu Yun patted Bai Kou's head, "I'm going to Jicheng Hall now, and ask the girls to prepare dinner for me when I come back."

"Don't you bring the murder weapon? It's right there."

Bai Kou pointed to the direction of the bedroom, and when Gu Yun walked over, he saw a small leather bag on the table in front of the window sill, a sharp dagger was completely pierced into it, and there were faint traces of blood on the tip of the blade.

Gu Yun didn't draw his sword, so he opened the door with his leather bag strap and left. He opened the corner door along the veranda and turned right, then went down the narrow alley. After a while, he arrived at Jicheng Hall. Listen to Madam talking about what happened to Bai Kou today.

While Grandpa Guo was still thinking, Mother Pang reported outside the bedroom that the young master had come, and then Gu Yun was welcomed into his parents' bedroom.

"Father, mother, look." Gu Yun said, first removed his father's tea set, and put the leather bag on the small round table.

Seeing the dagger pierced through the small leather bag, the eldest lady's expression darkened immediately, and the Duke of the State observed it. The handle of the knife is non-slip, and the color of the tip of the knife is dull and non-reflective. The dagger I bought can only be a special custom-made product.

"Bai Kou actually snatched such an important physical evidence?" the Duke raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, otherwise, it wouldn't hurt like this." Gu Yun nodded in response.

"Okay, pull out the dagger. Although there is definitely no mark, there are not many craftsmen with this skill who can make a dagger of this quality."

"If there is, it's not something you can meet casually on the street." Da Furen interjected.

Gu Yun smiled, held the bag with his left hand, held the handle of the knife with his right hand, and pulled it out forcefully, but the knife did not move at all.

"It's inserted so tightly? What's in the bag?" Grandpa Guo felt strange.

"Nothing, Bai Kou's notepad and her purse."

Gu Yun tried a few times, and each time he was stronger than the last time, both the Duke and Madam couldn't help standing up and backing away, lest the son use too much force and the knife would fly out of his hand.

Gu Yun, who was a little depressed by his parents' reaction, held his breath and tried again. With a puff, he finally pulled out the dagger. Fortunately, he held it tightly and did not let go.

"It's no wonder that Bai Kou was able to snatch such important physical evidence and inserted it so tightly. At that time, the scene was already chaotic, and the murderer had no choice but to give up the entanglement and run away."

Gu Yun showed the dagger to his father, and he opened the purse to take out the contents.

Both the notepad and the money bag were pierced with a double hole, and there was a small piece of silver in the money bag, which was cut in half by the tip of the dagger. All three members of the family thought that the piece of silver was stuck The blade is difficult to pull out.

"This is a sharp weapon specially used to kill people. If it wasn't for this purse, Bai Kou would have been stabbed so hard that his body would be cold now." The Duke said after putting the dagger back on the table.

"If the murderer gets it, Bai Kou's death is due to the thief stealing money and murdering her. Now that she's not dead, the mastermind behind the scenes will have to run wild." Gu Yun put the things back into the leather bag and put it on the table, and put the tea set Push back into the middle of the table.

"Well, the matter of the emperor's grandson has already been settled, and this incident again, it is not clear that there is something wrong with the death of the prince Ruren who left a suicide note and committed suicide. As long as someone with a heart deliberately guides public opinion, Bai Kou The fact of being assassinated will be erased, and it will become the crown prince forcing the child to confess and commit suicide." The Duke sat down again.

"As long as the method is right, the assassination of Bai Kou can be planted on Donggong's head, so as to create an illusion for the world that the prince is immoral, damage his prestige, and accuse him of being lawless by relying on his status as the son-in-law. Over time, the number of times will increase." If there are too many, the people's love and support for the prince will naturally decline, and then you only need to wait for the prince to make a mistake before you can attack wildly." The eldest lady is also aware of the common methods used to seize the heir.

"It's a pity that we still don't know who the real mastermind behind the scenes is, but since Bai Kou was able to assassinate Bai Kou after nearly half a year, it must be the mastermind behind the attack on the emperor's grandson. The prince who committed suicide and apologized may be theirs." An accomplice, after all, it can only be someone from the East Palace who bribes the servants around the emperor's grandson."

Gu Yun poured three cups of tea for his parents and himself, and shared his opinion.
