After Xie Jiayan and the other two left, she came out and inspected again. It was indeed as they said, with more than one point of origin for the fire.
Undoubtedly, this great fire was man-made.
In the capital, who hated the Wang family so much and had the capability, besides the Sage, it would be the Yao family.
But it was not impossible that there was another possibility.
Observing the situation with such precision, it seemed that person was no ordinary individual, and it was unknown whether they were friend or foe.
...
"As you predicted, someone indeed went to the scene tonight. They didn't look like officials. I took a friend to the mortuary to examine the bodies. A total of twelve people were indeed burned to death. When he examined Wang Ningqing's body, he said he was left-handed." Li Fu said.
"Left-handed?" Yu Mingyue was puzzled.
"Yes, he said it was likely from years of writing, the bones of his left hand had a slight indentation, but his right hand did not, so he guessed Wang Ningqing should be left-handed."
Yu Mingyue was silent for a long time. She had never heard any rumors of Wang Ningqing being left-handed. As the head of a clan, such an obvious characteristic could not be hidden.
Unless...
A thought flashed through her mind quickly, but she felt it was not very reasonable.
"I understand. You don't need to keep investigating this case. Tell your friend not to tell anyone about this information," Yu Mingyue instructed.
If Wang Ningqing was not dead, where was he now? Was this fire a setup by him, or was he truly framed?
She feared there was a great conspiracy hidden within, but she couldn't figure it out for the moment.
Gu Youyou had always been lively and mischievous, and her coming-of-age ceremony was different from others, lively and unconventional.
Gu Youyou was the legitimate and only daughter of this branch of the Gu family, showered with immense affection.
What was even more enviable was that she could even make her own decisions about her marriage.
Today was not only Gu Youyou's coming-of-age ceremony, but also her engagement banquet with Jing Zhan, so Gu Youyou had invited her best friends to witness her moment of happiness.
Gu Youyou had told them before that she would marry Jing Zhan after her coming-of-age ceremony, but none of them had taken her seriously.
After all, their statuses were vastly different. Jing Zhan had been adopted by the Gu family since he was young. Although he was talented in both literary and martial arts and handsome, he was just a guard.
She didn't expect Uncle Gu to actually agree to their marriage, which showed how much he doted on his daughter.
Gu Youyou was the protagonist of the day, dressed in a red dress, with a delicate figure. The floral ornament on her forehead made her even more charming. Beside her, Jing Zhan was also tall and handsome. They were indeed a beautiful couple.
Jing Zhan was usually taciturn and very aloof. Even her long-time friends, who were Youyou's close friends, had spoken to him only a handful of times.
However, he was very steady in his conduct. A large part of the reason why Gu Tingyun had developed such a carefree personality was that Uncle Gu had entrusted some difficult matters to Jing Zhan.
Old Madam Gu personally placed the hairpin for her granddaughter's coming-of-age, and Uncle Gu personally tied the cap for Jing Zhan, announcing their wedding in a year's time.
Yu Miaoyan whispered in Yu Mingyue's ear, "Although that Jing Zhan is not bad-looking, he is still just a guard. Is the Gu family really willing to marry their daughter to him?"
Yu Mingyue smiled, "Uncle Gu dotes on his daughter. He was already reluctant to let Youyou marry out. It would be perfect for Youyou to live at home even after marriage."
Uncle Gu was quite shrewd. He naturally saw that Brother Tingyun was kind-hearted. Jing Zhan had grown up eating the Gu family's food, and now he was also his brother-in-law, so he would naturally do his best to assist. The Gu family's wealth could be preserved.
Moreover, with Jing Zhan's abilities, he would sooner or later achieve great things.
Yu Miaoyan pouted, still somewhat unable to understand.
Yu Mingyue said no more. Sometimes, letting go was gaining.
