Chapter 199 Innocence
"The more you hide it, the more it shows that there is something else in this bag." Chen Zhuyi had no intention of letting this matter go.
She first glanced at Huo Jinzhi next to her, then quickly grabbed the bag.
"You're courting death. Are you just going to watch her act so arrogantly? I'm here to help, but don't you even deserve this basic human right?"
Cui Yingying still wanted to rush forward, so she warned him with a cold face, her eyes as silent as a piece of ice.
"What is this?" Chen Zhu was very nimble and just turned his small bag over, and the things inside appeared.
The black, small and exquisite object was placed there like that. Anyone who was not blind could see that it was strange!
"In your bag? Putting this kind of thing in it? If I'm not mistaken, it seems to have a camera function."
As he spoke, Chen Zhuyi held the tool in his hand and took a picture of them.
"No photos are displayed. Could it be that the items have been transferred to another place?"
The technology of this era has actually developed quite well, but Shen Zhuyi doesn't know much about it. However, there are many traces of it in later generations.
"It's just a small clip. I was just playing with it, but you're so vigilant. I don't know what you're thinking!"
Cui Yingying let out a breath after making sure that no photos were exposed, but she continued with her self-righteous explanation.
"I admit that I had some feelings for him at first, but I've already learned my lesson. Why are you still so persistent?"
"Comrade Huo Jinzhi, I shouldn't have liked you. Now I know I was wrong. I hope you can show mercy and let me live!"
As she spoke, Cui Yingying's knees softened, as if she was forced by them to kneel down to clear her name!
Her tears immediately rolled out, with a hint of unwillingness.
"If you still feel something is wrong, you can investigate however you want. I promise I will never do anything to resist."
When the village chief saw this scene, he couldn't help but have a trace of pity in his eyes. He looked at Chen Zhuyi with a stern face and said, "You are too arrogant now!"
It was clearly Cui Yingying's fault, but because of those few tears she shed, someone put the blame on Chen Zhuyi. His inability to distinguish between right and wrong made Chen Zhuyi laugh.
Her eyes were as cold as ice. "I've even placed a miniature camera right in front of you, yet you still refuse to believe what I say. Have I done anything to harm the country?"
"Or is there a spy among the people who wants her to avoid any responsibility?"
As he spoke, Chen Zhuyi glanced at Zhuang Yu.
The person she was referring to at this moment was self-evident.
Even the village chief had sensed the threat in his words. His expression became extremely unnatural and he felt he had no way to defend himself.
"You're being tortured into confessing. That's nonsense. We're all extremely fair in our dealings, and I've never heard of anyone being so mean!"
"Comrade Chen Zhuyi, I've said it before. Ever since you showed up here, our island has become a mess. You've accused many people of crimes. Could it be that... everyone on our island is behaving in a corrupt manner?"
The village chief's words of accusation were serious and sharp, and he did not try to hide his dissatisfaction at the moment.
This anxious and jumping performance made Chen Zhuyi pause, and then looked at him with a little confusion: "Could it be... every time I find trouble and hurt others?"
In fact, since coming here, Chen Zhuyi has been very satisfied with her performance, and she doesn't even have much intention of meddling in other people's affairs.
But, there are always people pestering her!
Besides, helping others when seeing injustice is an extremely fine traditional virtue. How could she give it up?
All these words were blocked here, and even the village chief could not find any fault with Chen Zhuyi. Since she came here, she even provided a lot of help to everyone.
"You're suspicious and critical of me, a simple educated youth, yet you're willing to indulge this woman who appears to have many problems. Can I interpret this as... a prejudiced view of yours?"
Chen Zhuyi did not fall into the trap of self-proof at all, and continued to press forward.
Huo Jinzhi narrowed his eyes and waved his hand, and someone came to do it immediately.
Commander Zhou brought people here specially. Without asking too much about the right and wrong, he directly asked someone to take Cui Yingying out first.
Whether there is a problem or not, someone will naturally tell!
"The situation is special now. We would rather kill someone by mistake than let them go. You are all good kids, so I won't explain any more." Commander Zhou calmed down Zhuang Yu and the others before taking them away.
Before leaving, he did not forget to take another look at the courtyard.
Zhou Siwei hasn't appeared for several days. If it weren't for the news about Chen Zhuyi, he would have doubted whether his son had really left the island.
"But what if Comrade Cui was wrongly accused? After all, he came here with us. If you just take him away without giving us an explanation, we won't be able to do anything."
Zhuang Yu stood in front of them.
Cui Yingying was still struggling, with fear in her eyes.
Her body was lying there limply, being dragged forward by several people.
"I'm innocent, you just want to protect her. Obviously... I didn't do anything, but just because of this black thing, you want to torture me into confessing!"
But Commander Zhou himself is a man who has walked out of countless bloody storms.
There was only silence in his dark eyes, without a trace of gentleness or tenderness. He did not listen to the self-righteous excuse, but simply ordered people to take Cui Yingying away.
"You are going too far. Aren't you afraid of causing resistance from everyone?" Zhuang Yu could only watch the figure going away. He lacked confidence at the moment, but still had to threaten with gritted teeth.
Seeing his fluctuating expression, Chen Zhu waved his hand nonchalantly: "If it is later discovered that he is innocent, then I will go through everything she went through again exactly as it happened. Is this enough to show my suspicion of her?"
She had already done this much, and Zhuang Yu really had nothing to say, but his heart sank.
Others may not know whether Cui Yingying is innocent, but Zhuang Yu has had private contact with her several times. This woman can't hide any secrets at all!
"Senior Brother, I think your attention to Cui Yingying seems a bit too much. You don't like her, do you?" Zheng Linger observed the scene and reminded belatedly.
