Aunt Xu said, "Not only did they abandon the body, they even tried to make it look like Awan drowned herself..."
Feng Yun said, "It's also possible that the person didn't have time to cover their tracks before someone came."
He Chuandong didn't speak but went with Shi Wentai to the reservoir where Awan's body was found, and quickly agreed with their statements.
If the murderer wanted to conceal the corpse, they would have replaced the reservoir's lid.
In that case, it wouldn't be discovered until next spring's farming.
Since the lid was open and a bamboo pole was inserted into the hole. Either they ran off in a hurry without having time to destroy the evidence, or, as Aunt Xu said, they wanted people to think Awan fell in herself...
He Chuandong said, "It's not convenient to cause a big commotion during General Wen's banquet. I'll send someone to take the body to the county yamen for examination and then proceed with the murder hunt. What does my lady think?"
