Zhao Jingyi casually asked, not expecting Miss Xu to really have a lead.
He was somewhat surprised, and upon hearing Xu Jing's question, he paused and shook his head, "No, after I found Steward Liao's body, I had people search the vicinity, but found nothing suspicious. Miss Xu, do you think there should be such things nearby?"
Xu Jing nodded and said, "According to my deduction of the deceased's time of death, the murderer didn't have much time to commit the crime. In such a short period, they had to commit murder, clean the scene, and arrange Steward Liao's room. No matter how well planned, the time was quite tight, they likely didn't have time to dispose of those things.
Generally, when a murderer disposes of their weapon, they either hide it, throw it in water if available, bury it if they have time, or if there's no water or time, temporarily stash it in a secluded nearby spot."
