The dead people were all ordinary people in these two cases. They didn’t have a prestigious family background nor at deep enmity with others. They were simply normal in all ways.
If the murderer killed them all without interrupting the neighbours, he should stop their breathes or make them let off no sound in a short time.
However, the autopsy found they were all killed by knives and all of them had more than one injury not caused by cold steels, which meant that they had time to let off sound from the time they got cut to their death.
The fact was not the same as the speculation. It was reasonable if their neighbours lived far from them. However, residences in this village were close to each other to make a full use of space.
Besides, the residences were all not of a large square. If the murder happened just next door, it was weird if the victims didn’t make any sound.
Shaer told them the murderer had carried a sword with him. However, all victims weren’t died of sword cut, which proved that Shaer’s words were useless.
Thinking of this, Yu Wenhao couldn’t help letting off a sigh subconsciously.
Yuan Qingling embraced around d his neck and then moved her hand upwards to ease his frown, asking in a dazed voice, “Why are you sighing? What happened?”
Yu Wenhao hurriedly embraced her and comforted, “Don’t worry. I just hope you can get well soon.”
“You’re lying!” Yuan Qingling’s voice was hoarse carried with drowsy sound as she was about to fall asleep. She moved her body and put both her feet on his legs. She posted a comfortable gesture which would not press her injury, asking, “You seem to have something on your mind. Is it about the case?”
Yu Wenhao reached out his hands below and carefully adjusted her injury legs, asking, “Why are you so smart? Why can you tell what I am thinking of?”
“Yes, you can never lie to me.” Yuan Qingling opened her eyes and looked at him in a daze, saying, “Talk with me. Maybe I can help you.”
Yu Wenhao touched her lip and remarked, “Those two cases didn’t leave any clue. We also didn’t know what kind of weapon the murderer used. It seems the murderer just randomly grabbed a weapon to kill them.”
“Was it done by a lunatic?” Yuan Qingling asked.
“It seems to be, but it won’t be because the spot don’t have any evidence, murder weapon nor witnesses…Never mind. We can’t find any witness and no one heard any screams. A lunatic can’t arrange everything in such an elaborate way.”
Yuan Qingling felt the cases were very weird and asked, “Are those residences close to each other? No one will let off sound if the whole family are killed.”
“Unless they were knocked out at first.”
Yu Wenhao shook his head and replied, “That’s not possible. An infant doesn’t die in those two cases. It was found that they were conscious and didn’t inhale any knock-out drops.”
“That’s weird.” Yuan Qingling thought for a while and asked, “Is it possible that the murderer killed them with only one cut? But there were so many people and he couldn’t kill all of them at one time.”
“The dead bodies got lots of injuries and it could be told that they were not killed with one cut.” Yu Wenhao didn’t want to discuss about such cruel things with her at night. He gently covered her eyes and suggested, “Well, never mind. Let’s sleep first.”
“Well.” Yuan Qingling slowly closed her eyes and suddenly asked, “Have you seen the body yet?”
“No, I haven’t, but the coroner draws the same conclusion with post-mortem examiner.”
Yuan Qingling didn’t know much about investigation. When finding she couldn’t be of any help, she decided to stop asking to let her husband go to sleep.
Men who had to attend the early court were the bravest because no matter how warm bed was and how attractive their wives were, they had to get up early in the morning to prepare.
Yu Wenhao instructed the servants to bring clothes to the room beside in order to not wake Yuan Qingling up. He would directly go the next door to change clothes, brush his teeth and wash face.
Yuan Qingling was deep in sleep because pills’ effect. She didn’t know Yu Wenhao went away.
Before leaving, Yu Wenhao remarked to Qi Luo, “Let the cooks to prepare bird’s nest soup. It’s better for the princess to have it after she wakes up. Remember the goat milk which boils together with the bird’s nest must be fresh. She doesn’t love sugars so put less sugars as possible.”
Qi Luo smiled and replied, “I know. Prince, you’re so considerate.”
