Rebirth: Bai Xueyun's
32. Probability

The scholar is dead.

His death at such a critical moment made it difficult for Bai Xueyun to find the truth.

Bai Xueyun was not surprised. If Zhao Yunting had indeed been poisoned by the scholar with a drink when they had a secret date like he had expected, it would seem like there was nothing more to see since the scholar died.

But the scholar would not be able to bring his corpse back to the residence alone. There must be something else going on. Now the case seems more complicated and confusing.

“Tell lady Ning and lady Yun to wait in the living room. I'll be there in a minute." Bai Xueyun said after pondering for a moment.

To bring Zhao Yunting's body back to the residence, there must be someone inside here to help the scholar. Xueyun wanted to voice the two women and see if she could find anything.

After that, Xueyun did not immediately go to the living room, but returned to Chen's residence with him.

"How did you know Zhao Yunting's body had been moved?" Chen asked as soon as they entered his room.

Qing Yan looked at Xueyun confusedly, thinking: 'Empress Bai won't have some kind of magic power to "see" what happened last night, right?'

Xueyun poured a cup of tea for Chen before she answered honestly, "Livor mortis."

Seeing Chen and Qing Yan's puzzled look, Xueyun explained, "When a person dies and the heart stops flowing blood, the blood will sink to the lower body parts, causing the blood to sink to the lower body parts, and thus develop a bluish discoloration under the skin, known as livor mortis."

Xueyun tried her best to explain the technical terms in a simple way so that they could understand. “When we find Zhao Yunting's corpse, the corpse is lying on his back, so livor mortis should have appeared on the bottom in that posture, like his nape, his back, and the back of his limbs. However, the livor mortis on Zhao Yunting's body actually appeared on her face, the front of her limbs, and her chest, which proved that her body used to lie face down for four hours after her death. Therefore, I'm sure his body was moved back to the.” room

Livor mortis was supposed to appear two to four hours after death, in other words, Zhao Yunting's corpse lay in another position for four hours after her death, and then put into the posture they have seen.

Based on that, Xueyun guessed, for four hours after Zhao Yunting's death, the assassin was trying to find an opportunity to move his body back to the residence secretly.

Of course, all of this was just his own conjecture, but with that, Xueyun managed to get the maid to talk and learned that Zhao Yunting sneaked out for a secret date last night.

But there was something he could not understand. First, why did Zhao Yunting's servant insist that he was the murderer? Is he trying to frame her? Or was he misled by someone else? Second, why was Zhao Yuntings body naked? What is the real purpose of the killer to do that?

After all, the entire incident was covered in fog, making it difficult for people to see the truth.

Xueyun frowned involuntarily.  He had a hunch that Zhao Yunting was not the only one targeted in this incident. It seemed that someone was trying to achieve a greater goal by killing him.

There were slender fingers stroking Xueyun's forehead, and a cold feeling pulled her back from her mind.  He felt those fingers smoothing out the wrinkles between his two eyebrows.

"Don't think too much." Said Chen. "He's just a concubine. No need to bother with her."

Xueyun grabbed Chen's fingers placed on her forehead, and said, "I don't feel bothered because of him. I just have a hunch that his death may be just the beginning."

Once it started, there would be a lot of trouble flooding into the residence of prince Chen.

After hearing that, Xueyun seemed to have realized something sudden. Pondering for a moment, he smiled: "Whatever this guy is, he'll come after me."

No wonder the servant would accuse him of killing Zhao Yunting decisively. He was trying to make her look suspicious.  Fortunately, he learned that Zhao Yunting had sneaked out last night, and was probably killed outside the residence. Otherwise, if the murder investigation was carried out under the false assumption that he was killed in the residence, there would definitely be some evidence leading to him in the end.

"Qing Yan, talk to the people around the scholar, see if you can find out who he has been in contact with recently." Xueyun.

Since someone wanted to frame him, he would definitely find out who that person was.

Xueyun smiled, and she looked proud and confident, which made her even more dazzling.

At the sight of Xueyun's confident expression, Chen felt her heart beating fast, and she couldn't help but kiss on the lips.

It was a kiss, with no erotic feelings, but filled with an accidental love.

Xueyun kissed him back. This time, they did not let go of each other until the two of them started panting. "I have to go to the living room." Xueyun.

Yu Ningning and Gu Yun must have been waiting for him at this moment, and they must have heard about Zhao Yunting's death as well.

He wondered what part these two women played in Zhao Yunting's death.

"Continue." Chen adjusted his messy clothes and said to his pale but extremely handsome face, his red red lips becoming more seductive after being kissed, as if luring someone to do evil.

Xueyun narrowed her eyes, pinched Chen's collar, and approached, saying in a seductive voice, "Right now you're done, you should make me yours."

Chen could not help but laugh, stretching his hands, as if he was lying on a bed waiting for Xueyun to do whatever she wanted to do with him. The smile on his face was a silent seduction.

"What devil!" With that, Xueyun turned around and left, for fear that if she stayed in this room any minute longer, she would lose control and immediately force herself on Chen.

After walking out of the room, Xueyun could still hear Chen laughing. He shook his head helplessly, and could not help but laugh as well.

What other choice does he have? Her lover. All he can do is love her.

Yu Ningning and Gu Yun each sat on the opposite side of the table. Yu Ningning was calm and natural, unperturbed as usual, as if she had no idea what was happening.

Gu Yun was sitting upright, with his red eyes, his fingers tightly intertwined together, as if he was confused. This was the first sight Xueyun saw as she stepped inside.

She walked up to the chair and sat down with an unexpected facial expression before saying, "You guys must have heard that madam Ting was killed last night. I want to hear your opinion."
