I find how the two deaths were handle this episode interesting, comparing them to each other. Sir Kounen dies, and it would be very easy to name it an accident from drinking too much. There are no obvious clues that foul play was at work, and yet Jinshi gets Maomao to look into things. While she does find it was actually a prank gone wrong, there was no reason to suspect anything further to begin with. But a high-ranking military officer died, so every effort is put into looking into his death for the slightest possibility that there was another cause. The drowned girl, on the other hand, is written off as a suicide. It's been decided before Jinshi asks Maomao about it, and despite what she says, it's still determined to be so. I'm not sure how much you know about foot binding. It involves literally breaking the bones in the feet. That girl could barely walk, let alone climb up the wall. Someone else *had* to be involved. Yet because she was just a servant, it's easier to just say it was a suicide than to look into things.
