My Entire Family’s Gone Haywire!

"I remember you were the recorder for Xiaoqiu, right? Your name is Zhang Bing, right?" Gu Xin asked after getting in the car.

"My name is Zhang Bing." Zhang Bing didn't expect Gu Xin to still remember him, and answered happily.

He went to the capital with Zheng Qiu, and was with Zheng Qiu only last year, preparing to learn how to be a coroner. He was not familiar with the official language of the capital, but he tried to speak slowly so that people could understand.

Gu Xin looked down at her skirt. Oh, she forgot to change into men's clothes. She couldn't force others to call her a young master while wearing a skirt, so Gu Xin had to let Zhang Bing call her the third lady.

It's not that she doesn't like the title of Princess Xinxin, but mainly because people always have a lot of troublesome etiquette when they call her a princess, and she thinks it's troublesome and doesn't like it.

"Okay, Third Miss." Zhang Bing followed suit and told Gu Xin the general situation. "Third Miss, the body was found at noon today in the well in the courtyard of the Song family in Xima Lane in the west of the city. The row of houses in this lane are all owned by the Song family. The owner lives in the innermost one. There is only a widowed mother and son in the family. Mr. Song is a student who is preparing to take the imperial examination this year. They make a living by collecting rent. The family that found the body signed the lease just yesterday. When they were cleaning the yard today, they smelled a strange smell coming from the well. The well was abandoned and there was no water underneath. The tenants are a family of three, also a widowed mother with her son, but this family has a daughter-in-law. The family's surname is Liang, and this Mr. Liang is also a student who is preparing to take the imperial examination in September this year and came to live in the capital in advance. Mr. Liang went down to the well and found the body, and then reported it to the authorities. This is all I know for the time being."

"Has the body been moved up?" Gu Xin asked.

"Mr. Liang came to report the case, but he didn't move up. Mr. Liang tied a rope to the well under the tree in the yard, and he said he couldn't get the person out. Based on the appearance of the body he described, Mr. Zheng speculated that the deceased had been dead for at least four days." Zhang Bing said and thought of something else, "Mr. Zheng said that although it is spring and the weather is warmer, it is quite cold under the well, so it must be more than four days." "Zhang Bing, you have been with Xiaoqiu for a year, do you know how to judge the time of death of the deceased?" Gu Xin asked curiously. She was only interested recently, so she really didn't know about this. Gu Ren's storybook focuses on the detective, not the coroner, so there is not much mention of the coroner's autopsy. It only talks about some information obtained by the coroner, and the detective judges based on the case. "I know the general ones, but I don't know the complicated ones. For example, if the death is natural or a simple murder, you can judge it by the degree of stiffness of the body and the spots on the body. But if the murderer used other things like ice or fire, I don't know how to judge it. However, Master Zheng taught me to judge the approximate age from the bones." Zhang Bing said.

"Ah, you can also judge the age? I thought you could only judge the gender!" Gu Xin said in surprise.

"I only knew this after I followed Master Zheng." Zhang Bing said.

"Xiao Qiu knows a lot, and she looks the same age as me!" Gu Xin exclaimed.

"Miss San, Master Zheng is more than two years older than Miss San!" Zhang Bing said. Many people know Gu Xin's age and birthday.
