“My son died not far from home.”

Seeing that Xiao Yu had put the knife away, Li Erhu's voice was no longer so frightened, but he didn't dare to make any more trouble.

The same was true for Lady Li; being watched by two guards, she immediately became timid.

"Where is your son?" Xiao Yu asked again.

“My son died in an alley. A stranger came to tell us that our son had died.”

Zhang Jian's eyes darted away, avoiding Xiao Yu's gaze. It was unclear whether he was timid, guilty, or both.

"So, no one saw who killed your son?" Xiao Yu asked rhetorically.

“But many people saw you hit my son!” Li Erhu said.

“Yes…” Zhang Jian added from the side.

"That's strange..."

Xiao Yu stared at the two men with a half-smile and said, "You both insist that I beat your son to death! Well, when I was beating them up, who knew I was Xiao Yu?"

In those days, there was no surveillance, and Beijing was a bustling place where people came and went, and nobody knew anyone else.

Li Lei and Zhang Xin had just died, and they were able to drag their corpses to the Xiao Prince's Mansion to demand Xiao Yu pay for his life... That's incredibly efficient!

Therefore, Xiao Yu felt from the beginning that someone was behind this.

Upon hearing this, both Li Erhu and Zhang Jian were taken aback and didn't know how to respond.

“I’m assuming you found me through various details… then you should also know that I only punched your son three times, right?” Xiao Yu said.

"……right!"

Li Erhu said it subconsciously.

Xiao Yu looked towards Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian avoided eye contact, but subconsciously nodded and said, "Yes."

“Many people saw it at the time. I punched Li Lei three times and Zhang Xin three times. Every punch hit my face.”

As Xiao Yu spoke, he walked to the body, lifted the white sheet, and said, "The wounds on their faces are still there, but the bruises on their arms and heads were not inflicted by me. You can ask the coroner to come and see. Their fatal wounds were all caused by blunt objects like wooden sticks hitting their heads!"

Hearing Xiao Yu say this, some of the onlookers showed expressions of sudden realization.

Some people have begun to doubt whether Xiao Yu actually killed them.

"I...I'm just an ordinary person, I don't understand these things."

Li Erhu looked away and said.

Suddenly, Li, who was standing to the side, spoke up, arguing unreasonably, saying, "You say he was only punched a few times, but we didn't see it with our own eyes. Maybe you're the one who beat my son to death with a stick!"

But this time, no one agreed with him.

Just as Xiao Yu said, they weren't at the scene. They could find out about Xiao Wangfu just by knowing that their son died. How could they not find out that Xiao Yu only punched her son a few times?

It's true that the people are passionate, but they also have the ability to distinguish right from wrong.

"hehe."

Xiao Yu sneered and said, "Maybe? Conviction requires evidence. If you're just making wild guesses, then I'd say, maybe you killed your son with your own hands and are trying to blackmail the Xiao Prince's Mansion!"

"You're talking nonsense... No, I didn't."

Li was so frightened that her face changed and she took several steps back.

Xiao Yu looked at Li Erhu again, and Li Erhu did not dare to meet Xiao Yu's gaze.

Zhang Jian and Li Shi were even more timid. Both of them kept their heads down and didn't speak. Zhang Shi, who had a limp, kept sobbing.

"Your Highness, we've caught them."

At this moment, Zhao Haining pushed the middle-aged man forward.

Unlike the other common people, this person was dressed very elegantly, wearing a beautiful and gorgeous brocade robe and an exquisite crown, making him stand out from the crowd.

This is also one of the reasons why Xiao Yu noticed him.

Do you know him?

Xiao Yu did not question the man, but instead asked the Li couple and the Zhang couple.

Upon seeing this very refined middle-aged man, both the Li couple and the Zhang couple's expressions changed, and they hurriedly looked away.

"I do know him."

Seeing that they didn't answer, Xiao Yu spoke for them: "If I'm not mistaken, this person told you that I killed your son, right?"

"..."

The Li couple and the Zhang couple remained silent. They did not defend the middle-aged man; they simply felt they didn't know what to say.

At this point, they realized that they had been led by the nose by Xiao Yu all along.

Xiao Yu had the entire rhythm under control.

"He's the one who told you to frame me and cause trouble at Prince Xiao's residence, isn't he?"

Xiao Yu continued, "They even gave you silver!"

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Li couple and the Zhang couple turned ashen. Zhang's body even trembled. She was a very timid woman, and after Xiao Yu told her the truth, she was so frightened that she wanted to run away from there.

Those onlookers who were slightly more astute had already vaguely guessed what was going on as they watched this scene unfold.

Even someone who isn't very bright would know that Xiao Yu was telling the truth when they saw the Li couple and the Zhang couple trembling with fear.

"hehe."

Xiao Yu sneered, his icy gaze fixed on the man in brocade robes, and said coldly, "If I'm not mistaken, you're from the Duke's mansion, right? Liu Yunfei's father?"

Xiao Yu felt that he looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

Only when they got closer did they realize that this middle-aged man was Liu Yunfei's father!

The father and son looked remarkably alike, and given that he was hiding in the crowd and inciting the people, how could Xiao Yu not guess his identity!

"you!!"

Liu Quan's pupils constricted sharply, surprised that he had been seen through so quickly. However, he was not afraid. He simply snorted and said, "I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just a passerby watching. Why is your Xiao Wang Mansion bullying me? Do you only bully ordinary people?"

"You're not an ordinary citizen."

Xiao Yu stared coldly at him and said, word by word, "You are the murderer who killed Li Lei and Zhang Xin! To avenge Liu Yunfei, you killed Li Lei and Zhang Xin, then gave their parents money to cause trouble at the Xiao Prince's Mansion!"

"Whoosh!"

"Did he kill Li Lei and Zhang Xin?"

"What's going on? I don't understand."

"I don't understand it either. I don't know how Xiao Yu deduced it, but it seems quite reasonable!"

Beside them, the Li couple and the Zhang couple suddenly looked up, staring at Liu Quan with disbelief.

"Did you kill my son?"

The Li couple and the Zhang couple asked in trembling voices.

"You believe Xiao Yu? You believe this murderer? He's trying to mislead everyone, don't believe him."

Liu Quan shouted, "Don't be fooled by Xiao Yu! I don't know Li Lei and Zhang Xin. Why would I kill them? Xiao Yu is the murderer. He wants me to be the scapegoat!"

"You are the murderer!"

Just then, Yang Niannian and Xiao Zhan returned with two other people.
