Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 1878 Dead for 3 Days

The maid was seen sitting on the ground, her eyes fixed on the well in front of her, cold sweat on her forehead, gasping for breath, and crawling backwards until she reached Amir's feet.

"Master Amir, water...water..." Before she could finish her words, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Looking at the fainted maid, Amir turned his gaze to the place where the maid fell. There was a wooden barrel there with some water stains around it, obviously the water that had just been drawn up.

Wan Shufang raised her head and met a pair of obscure eyes. She nodded gently, and Chen Changli also responded before walking forward and looking down at the water in the wooden barrel.

"It's freshly-drawn well water, but... this water is red."

Red water...

Wan Shufang and Amir's eyes suddenly widened, as if they had thought of something. Amir immediately called a few servants, and the servants worked together with Chen Changli and finally fished the things out of the well.

The moment they saw the body, everyone knew who it was without having to think, but Amir still called the butler.

"Butler, look, is he Hassan?"

The butler who was called out had trembling legs and walked forward shakily. He was also afraid of corpses, so he kept his eyes closed until his foot kicked the wet corpse. He was startled and opened his eyes only after he was mentally prepared.

Seeing Hassan’s swollen face and his eyeballs that were almost popping out, the old butler was so scared that he kept backing away.

"My Lord, it's... it's Hassan. How could he die so tragically?"

"When was the last time Hassan appeared in public?"

Hearing Amir's question, the butler looked up and thought for a while before answering: "Sir, it was three days ago."

At this moment, Wan Shufang also squatted down to check Hassan's body. Judging from the degree of immersion of the corpse, he had indeed been dead for three days.

"He was fatally wounded in the neck. He must have been killed and thrown into the well. Today, he was accidentally found by this maid. He died three days ago, when we first arrived in Xirong."

"Yes, sir, this well is not used often, so no one has discovered the body in it. The little girl must have happened to be serving here today, so she came over to fetch water." The housekeeper agreed. Hearing that no one had drunk the water, Wan Shufang was relieved.

Water that has been soaked in corpses must not be drunk. If someone in the mansion accidentally drinks it, she will have to go through more trouble and spend time treating them.

Amir naturally knew this. She waved her hand and asked the old housekeeper to check whether anyone had drunk the well water. Then she dismissed everyone and the fainted maid was also carried away.

Only Chen Changli, Wan Shufang, and Amir were left in the courtyard. Looking at Hassan's body on the ground, Amir looked unhappy: "So we have been looking for him for so long, but he is already dead."

Her tone was cold, and just as she finished speaking, Wan Shufang was seen picking up Hassan's fatal wound to examine it.

"Killed with one sword, and he died on the day we just arrived in Xirong. It seems that the late queen was really difficult to deal with. She had known our whereabouts for a long time and set up this trap in advance." Wan Shufang said in a deep voice, but her brows were frowning deeper and deeper. It was not that she felt that the late queen was difficult to deal with.

She didn't know why, but when she saw the knife edge, she had a strange feeling in her heart. After thinking about it for a long time, Wan Shufang was sure that she didn't recognize the knife edge. When she saw Amir was about to catch Baisi, she stopped Amir.

"Amir, look, the shape of this blade is very unique. If we can know where it came from, maybe we can find the murderer."

Hearing this, Amir and Chen Changli squatted down and took a closer look, and indeed found that the shape of the blade was very unique.

Amir frowned, as if she had thought of something, and she slapped her forehead.

"This is Xirong's weapon. So the traitor has not been found yet. It must be Baixi!"

"He identified Hassan earlier just to confuse people and buy time. I guess he is planning how to escape. I will catch him now."

As he spoke, Amir glanced at Wan Shufang. She said she was going to catch Baisi, but she didn't move.

Because they all knew that it was useless to catch Bai Xi at this time. They still had to follow the clues and catch the person behind him. Sure enough, after a moment, Wan Shufang shook her head slightly.

“It’s not a good idea, Amir, for us to…”

Wan Shufang lowered her voice and leaned close to Amir to whisper a few words.

"Okay, let's do it like this."

Amir asked someone to put away Hassan's body. The next morning, she placed the body in the yard and called everyone.

"I have caught the traitor Hassan, but Hassan knew that he was guilty of a grave crime and could not escape death, so he committed suicide out of fear of punishment. I will not make things difficult for everyone because of Hassan. This matter ends here." Amir announced the result in a calm tone in front of everyone, but he secretly looked at Baisi out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing that he really looked relieved, Amir raised the corners of his lips.

The fish finally took the bait.

After the announcement, she gave the servants some rewards and then sent them away.

Late at night, gusts of wind whistled outside the house, and Amir's mansion was pitch black, as if everyone was asleep.

Just in the dead of night, a dark figure carrying a bundle climbed over the wall from the back door of the mansion and finally left the house. When he breathed the outside air, the heavy stone in Baixi's heart finally fell to the ground.

"I can finally get out of this hellhole. Although they temporarily believe that Hassan is a traitor and committed suicide out of fear of punishment, it is inevitable that they will find out in the future. It is better for me to leave first."

Baisi muttered to himself as his figure disappeared into the darkness. Long before Amir announced that Hassan committed suicide out of fear of punishment, he had already thought of a way out for himself.

He had to take advantage of now, while Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were still not able to react. This was the best time to escape. Although he had not yet completed that man's instructions, it was better to leave first to avoid any further complications. At least he could save his life.

Thinking of this, Baisi quickened his pace and quietly left the city.

"When I meet that person, I will definitely ask her for more rewards, confuse the public, and delay Chen Changli and Wan Shufang. This time, I will be a great hero."

Perhaps immersed in the joy of his freedom and reward, Baixi didn't notice at all that a little tail had followed him just as he left the compound.

He walked towards the southeast, not knowing how long he had walked until the moon was high in the sky, casting a faint light. He was so tired that he was panting. He looked up at the moon, then turned back to look the way he had come.

"I can no longer see Xirong City..." Baixi murmured, with a deeper smile on his face.

He left a mark under his feet, which was a signal of his connection with that person, a beautiful and unique crescent shape.
