Chapter 58 Jiang Xueer's Identity

As soon as Xue Mei saw Jiang Xueer, she became emotional and shouted that she was the murderer.

Faced with inquiries, Jiang Xueer looked indifferent and said nothing.

After a long while, he asked lightly, "Why do you say that I was the one who put the poison in the cake?"

Zhong Maoqing narrowed his eyes slightly. This student's reaction was too calm, which was not normal.

But her words hit the nail on the head, and there is indeed no direct evidence pointing to her at the moment.

Qiao Youyou knew that Jiang Xueer had always been bullied by Zhao Wenyuan in the academy because of her poor background.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and she has some feelings towards Jiang Xueer.

So he stood in the crowd and shouted, "Yes, we haven't found direct evidence yet, sir, you can't arrest people randomly!"

Before Zhong Maoqing could say anything, Ouyang Ye had already reprimanded Qiao Youyou for making such a noise in front of the temple secretary.

Qiao Youyou stuck out her tongue, closed her mouth, and prayed for Jiang Xueer in her heart.

Zhong Maoqing asked Jiang Xueer: "The deceased often had some friction with you in the academy. You two lived in the same study room. You always held a grudge against her, so you took the opportunity to kill her when no one was in the study room. Am I right?"

He carefully observed Jiang Xueer's reaction, not missing any change.

If she is really the murderer, her micro-expressions will definitely show some reaction. Even if she does not admit it, the subsequent investigation will know where to start.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xueer suddenly raised her head and looked at him.

"Your Excellency is right. I was the one who killed him."

Huh? You admit it now?

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Zhong Maoqing didn't expect that his attitude would change so quickly.

What to play?

"I am a concubine's son, of low status, but I am also a human being, not an ant to be trampled on by others!

That little bitch humiliated me everywhere in the academy, and I just couldn't stand it anymore, so I got some drugs to knock her out, and then pretended that she was hanging.

It’s just…it’s just that I didn’t expect that you could even find out what was in her stomach.”

Jiang Xueer told him everything like pouring beans, then lowered her head, waiting for whatever happened.

Zhong Maoqing asked her about the time and tools used in the crime, and Jiang Xueer answered all of them one by one, without any error.

Zhong Maoqing twisted his neck, feeling something was not right, but according to the procedure, now that they had witnesses, physical evidence and confessions, they could have made a final decision.

Jiang Xueer was taken away to the county government, and the students who were watching were finally dispersed.

Chang Yunxiao was kept by Zhong Maoqing, and it was unknown what was said to him.

…

The crowd dispersed and returned to their rooms.

Only Zhu Qingyan and Xue Mei stood where they were, not daring to move.

How dare I go back to the house? It's a haunted house now!

Moreover, it was a haunted house where autopsies had been performed. Who knew if there was a river of blood in there?

Zhu Lan and others who were passing by heard the conversation between Xue Mei and Zhu Qingyan, and they couldn't help but sigh at the importance of nine-year compulsory education.

The person has been dead for a long time, where is the blood? Do you have any common sense...

Zhu Qingyan and Xue Mei supported each other and went to find Ouyang Ye to apply for a change of study.

Zhu Lan and his companions returned to their residence.

While changing clothes, Qin Yuwei talked about what happened today and asked Zhu Lan if he felt anything was wrong.

Zhu Lan nodded. "It's very strange. Jiang Xueer clearly didn't want to admit it at first, but for some reason she suddenly changed her tune, as if she couldn't wait to be arrested."

After listening to what they said, Qiao Youyou thought for a while and said:

“It seemed a bit strange…after I shouted that, she suddenly confessed everything.

But I didn't say anything. I just said that the evidence was insufficient and the government couldn't just arrest people. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Several people fell into deep thought. After a moment, Zhu Lan frowned and said:

"Is it possible that there's nothing wrong with this sentence, but it's because she saw Youyou?"

Qiao Youyou: "Ah? That's even weirder! She and I are not familiar with each other. The only time we met was when we took the county exam last time. Her gold lock and mine looked too similar, so I accidentally took the wrong one. You guys were all there at the time."

Golden lock...

Zhu Lan's brows were furrowed tighter and tighter. Some strange and fragmentary information was piled up in her mind. She tried hard to make sense of it.

"Youyou, tell me again, where did your gold lock come from?" Zhu Lan suddenly asked.

Qiao Youyou was stunned for a moment and said that the golden lock was made by a craftsman specially hired by the original Hu father. The child has been wearing it since birth, symbolizing a peaceful life.

“The styles of your two gold locks are almost identical, which means it’s a custom and everyone has to make such locks.

But Yuwei and I don’t have that, because we are Han people… Do you understand?”

Qiao Youyou's eyes were confused, what did she understand?

Qin Yuwei patted her and said, "This means that Jiang Xueer is a child of the Hu people, just like you."

Qiao Youyou was even more confused.

What the hell is going on?

Isn’t Jiang Xueer the child of Mr. Jiang in the city and his mistress?

And I heard that the concubine was an actress.

Where did these Hu people come from?

Listening to Zhu Lan and Qin Yuwei chatting about the case, the plot jumped so much that Qiao Youyou was stunned.

The CPU was burnt out.

Zhu Lan: "So Jiang Xueer's identity is fake. She is actually a Hu person. It is impossible for her to feel inferior because of a fabricated identity of a concubine, and it is even more impossible for her to kill Zhao Wenyuan because of it."

Qin Yuwei: "But only the murderer would know the method of committing the crime so clearly and in detail."

Zhu Lan nodded.

“So it’s true that Jiang Xueer killed someone, but the motive she gave was false.

Assuming that she killed Zhao Wenyuan because of some secret, she suddenly changed her mind after seeing Youyou and was eager to confess. The only possibility was that she wanted to cover up something.

The only connection between Youyou and her is the golden lock that can be linked to her identity. She wants to hide her identity as a Hu person.

So the secret behind Zhao Wenyuan's death is related to Jiang Xueer's identity as a Hu person!"

The messy fragments in my mind were instantly pieced together, and everything made sense.

Jiang Xueer was afraid that her identity would be exposed, which would reveal the real reason for her murder, so she confessed her crime so that the authorities would close the case as soon as possible and stop investigating further.

Qiao Youyou finally caught up with the pace and sorted out her thoughts, and asked a key question:

"So, are we going to tell this to that Zhong Sicheng?"

Zhu Lan and Qin Yuwei looked at each other and said nothing.

Zhao Wenyuan's relationship with them was not very harmonious to begin with, let alone a friendship with Jiang Xueer.

To put it bluntly, the whole thing has nothing to do with them.

Just satisfy your Conan addiction, why get involved in this mess?

Qin Yuwei stood up first, yawned, and took out a small box.

"By the way, this is the soap I asked the shop to make. I can finally wash my face clean from now on."

She also made a simple soap box and placed it next to the basin so that several girls could use it together.

It seems that Qin Yuwei is not going to continue to take care of this matter.

When Qiao Youyou heard that even soap was available, she cheered and ran to study it like a treasure, immediately forgetting about everything else.

Zhu Lan was still a little confused about whether or not he should tell Zhong Sicheng about his conclusion.

At this moment, I felt sleepy.

Forget it, just go to bed. No matter how serious the problem is, you can sleep on it first.
