A Girl and Her Best Friends Time Travel to Ancient Times-Chapter 18: The Autopsy

After returning to the Bai family, Fang Qing and Yi soon withdrew, and the two of them also received gifts.

After leaving the guest house, Yi couldn't help saying, "Brother Fang, I feel like these four young ladies are a little different from the girls here."

"That's right. Not only did they not resent me for locking them in the wood house, they even gave me a sword." Fang Qing looked at the sword in his hand, "No one has ever given me anything before."

"I even scolded them before," Yi scratched his head, "I'm really uncultured. It seems I need to read more books in the future."

Since Su Mo knew Yi was Bai Yunhan's student, she gave him stationery.

In just over a day, the two seemed to have been bought off quite shamelessly.

At this moment, the four people in the guest room were holding a meeting behind closed doors.

Based on the information they had learned today, the four finally realized that they had not crossed over into a historical dynasty.

Here belonged to the Donglin Country, but they had not crossed over to the capital under the emperor.

The four were very relieved that they had not crossed over like others into the imperial palace. After all, if they were in the palace, it would be very easy to be sentenced to death, and with no personal freedom, it would be really difficult to find a way back.

"Since we haven't crossed over to a historical country, where on earth have we crossed over to?" Xiaohua asked.

"I thought about it. Our crossing over should be related to the ancient book in the museum," Sang Li said.

"Well, I think we may have crossed into the world inside that ancient book," Xia Miaomiao added: "I knew a little bit about that ancient book in the museum before. I heard that ordinary people see no words in that book, the author is unknown, and it seems to tell a story about the jianghu, but I don't know the contents."

"So we crossed into a book? And crossed into a book whose plot we know nothing about?" Su Mo stroked her chin, "This is the first time I've encountered something like this. At least people who cross into books usually know a little bit of the plot, right? We're in this completely blind!"

"Sigh..." The girls sighed, feeling powerless.

"Let's not think about this for now. The most important thing for us right now is to find the murderer who killed Elder Bai. If we find the murderer, the Bai family will thank us. At least we won't have to worry about food and shelter." Sang Li picked up the relationship diagram that Xia Miaomiao had drawn on paper.

"Based on the clues so far, the Li family's suspicion is indeed the greatest."

"From my experience watching detective dramas, whoever seems most suspicious in the beginning is never the murderer!" Xiao Han said as she squeezed over.

"Elder Bai had a wife and two concubines. Bai Yunhan is Madam Bai's son. The second concubine was taken in a long time ago, and Bai Yunxin is her daughter. I heard the third concubine was taken in only two years ago." Su Mo looked at the notes in her phone and couldn't help but complain again, "It's said that both the second and third concubines were rescued by Elder Bai from human traffickers, and then offered themselves to him. So Elder Bai was into that!"

Sang Li thought of the gossip she had heard today and asked, "Were Elder Bai and his wife in a good relationship?"

"They used to be very good, but for some reason, two years ago, Elder Bai began to neglect his wife."

"Is it related to the Li family?"

"I don't know about that. Yi didn't say. Oh right, Yi said not only was Elder Bai good at business, but he was also a martial arts practitioner, and his skills shouldn't have been low. So it would normally be very difficult for someone to kill him! But when I fought that man in black yesterday, I felt his martial arts were quite ordinary." Su Mo said.

"Sister Li, the owner of the rouge shop today said that Madam Bai and the Li family master had an affair. How credible do you think this is?" Xia Miaomiao asked.

"What? Madam Bai and the Li family master had an affair? Isn't that very obvious? They must have joined hands to kill Elder Bai!" Xiao Han said.

Sang Li thought about it for a moment, "After all, this is just gossip, we can't completely believe it either."

"Then why did Elder Bai neglect Madam Bai? It must be because of this!"

"If Madam Bai really did something like this, why didn't Elder Bai divorce her? For a green hat matter that everyone knows about, why wouldn't Elder Bai divorce her?"

"But there's no wind without waves. Since there is gossip like this, there must be some reason for it." Xia Miaomiao said.

"So we can only half believe it."

Su Mo couldn't help but retort, "Ah, this relationship is so complicated! And isn't Bai Yunxin also having an affair with the Li family young master?"

Sang Li thought about it, "Why exactly are the Bai family and Li family on bad terms? Is it just because of business competition?"

"Oh I get it!" Su Mo jumped up, "The Bai family and Li family don't get along, so Elder Bai definitely wouldn't agree to Bai Yunxin marrying into the Li family. So Bai Yunxin colluded with the Li family to kill Elder Bai so she can marry over there!"

"......I think your idea is nonsense," Xiao Han refuted, "No matter what, it’s impossible to kill your own father, right?"

"That's right too! Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. You guys think!"

After speaking, Su Mo went out the door. The others watched her back and couldn't help but roll their eyes.

Sang Li picked up Su Mo’s phone left on the table, frowning at the notes she wrote.

It also said that Bai Yunhan liked reading and disliked business. So he had always been a bit at odds with Elder Bai. Bai Yunhan often went out to prepare for the imperial examinations, so he was away from home much of the time.

"I have an idea," Sang Li suddenly said.

"What idea?"

Sang Li looked at Xiao Han and smiled slightly at her, "Autopsy! Xiao Han, it's time for you to show your skills."

......

After Su Mo went out, she knocked on Wu Ying's door next door, but no one responded even after knocking for a while.

"Haven't seen him all day, where did he go?" Su Mo muttered, and went out of the guest yard to look for Wu Ying.

The Bai house was too big. She got lost wandering around the yard.

Unconsciously, she walked to the lobby area. The noisy and clamorous sounds passed into Su Mo's ears.

Su Mo quickly grabbed a maid and asked, "What happened over there in the lobby? Why is it so noisy?"

The maid was grabbed painfully by Su Mo and hurriedly said, "It seems the Li family people have come and are making trouble at the master's memorial hall."

"Thank you!" Su Mo let her go and immediately ran over there.

She hid under a big tree and stuck her head out to see the situation in front of the lobby door.

"Bai Yunhan, we kindly came to pay our respects to Elder Bai. What do you mean by refusing us entry?"

The speaker was Li Wenxuan. With one look at his face, Su Mo felt this man must have over-indulged himself carnally. Those dark circles were too obvious!

"Li Wenxuan, my Bai family people do not need your Li family to come pay respects! Come, see the guests out!" Bai Yunhan said coldly.

Li Wenxuan's guards immediately came forward and confronted Bai family’s guards.

"It doesn’t matter if you don’t let me pay respects!" Li Wenxuan said lazily, "Bai Yunhan, I know the two female assassins I’m looking for are in your family. If you hand them over to me, I won’t make trouble at your father's memorial hall today. Otherwise... don't blame me for... disrespecting the dead!"

Li Wenxuan deliberately emphasized the word “dead”.

Bai Yunhan clenched his fists and looked at him coldly, "Then just try it!"

Just then, a small stone flew from behind Li Wenxuan and hit the back of his head with a bang.

"Ah!" Li Wenxuan suddenly covered his head with his hand, "Who is it?!"

He immediately turned his head around, but found no one behind him.

"Bai Yunhan, well done, you actually dare to send someone to sneak attack me! Come on, bring the gong!"

A guard next to Li Wenxuan immediately handed him a gong.

With a "peng", Li Wenxuan hit the gong heavily, the sound almost made one's ears ring.

"Someone from the Bai family has died, so we must beat the gongs and drums to celebrate!" After saying that, he hit the gong again.

"Come on, drive him out!" Bai Yunhan was so angry with Li Wenxuan's shamelessness.

The Bai family's guards went forward and fought directly with the Li family's guards.

While Li Wenxuan stood behind the guards, hitting the gong hard while singing.

Su Mo couldn't stand watching anymore. She took out a small crossbow arrow from her waist. This was something she had bought today when she went shopping in the Army Pavilion. She had originally planned to buy it as a gift for Sang Li, but had forgotten to give it to her earlier when they were having the meeting.

In addition to this, she had also bought a whip.

Although the arrows in this crossbow were less than 10 centimeters long, it was enough to deal with people like Li Wenxuan.

Su Mo aimed at Li Wenxuan's arm and shot. The arrow directly pierced Li Wenxuan's arm that was holding the gong.

"Ah!" The gong in Li Wenxuan's hand fell to the ground.

"Who the hell did this?!" Li Wenxuan turned around and saw Su Mo slowly walking out from behind a tree.

"I'm here, young mistress me, come and catch me if you dare!"

"You...you guys are indeed in the Bai house! Come on, catch her for me!"

Seeing Su Mo aim the crossbow arrow at him again, Li Wenxuan was so scared that he immediately pulled a guard to block in front of him.

"Humph, you don't even dare to catch me yourself?" Su Mo put away the crossbow arrow and ran out through the door.

"What are you guys still standing there for? Go catch her!" Li Wenxuan shouted.

A group of people immediately chased out. The door regained peace and quiet.

Bai Yunhan walked to the door with some worry, "Fang Qing, go follow them and see, don't let young miss Su get into trouble."

"Yes!" Fang Qing also immediately chased out.
