Li Anning looked at the Huang Family's steward and asked, "There are signs of a struggle in the room and a broken vase. Didn't you hear any unusual noises last night?"
The steward sighed and said, "The master and mistress live in the inner rooms of the estate, far from the outer rooms where the servants reside. Even if there were noise, we wouldn't have heard it..."
Li Anning's gaze shifted to Li Nuo, who shook his head subtly.
The two had developed an understanding while investigating cases together; Li Nuo's head shake meant he had not found any suspects among those present.
In such murder cases, the first thing to verify was whether it was committed by someone the victim knew.
The victims were killed last night, and it had only been a few two-hours since the incident. If it was done by someone from the Huang Family, the Law Code would have given a hint to Li Nuo.
The lack of response from the Law Code implied that the murderer was not on the scene.
