Everyone here is smart. We hadn't noticed before, but now that we've been reminded, we immediately realize that it seems Zhang Zitong was the one who first mentioned Mr. Huo.
Zhang Zitong's expression instantly became incredibly interesting as she glared angrily at Zu An: "You doubt me?"
Anger from Zhang Zitong: +111 +111 +111...
At this moment, Xiao Jianren couldn't help but say, "Eleventh Lord, is there some misunderstanding? Seventh Lord has been incredibly kind to Miss Zhang, how could she do such a thing?"
Those wearing silver medals and embroidered robes nearby nodded in agreement.
Zu An didn't explain, but looked directly at Zhang Zitong: "At first, you mentioned the Prince Yan's Mansion and Mr. Huo intentionally or unintentionally. Later, you even deliberately broke into the Prince Yan's Mansion, completely putting us at odds with the Prince Yan's Mansion."
“Every time our investigation hit a deadlock or we went to other places, you would intentionally steer us back to the Prince of Yan.”
The other silver medalists felt a chill run down their spines as they recalled the events of the past few days. Zhang Zitong had indeed acted similarly, but at the time, everyone just thought she was furious about the death of the seventh-ranked gold medalist and was eager to take revenge, so no one suspected anything.
At this moment, Zhang Zitong took a deep breath: "Eleventh Lord, I admired you before, but you have disappointed me too much today. We Embroidered Robe Envoys must rely on evidence when handling cases. It is far too far-fetched to convict me based on these facts."
“Of course there is evidence,” Zu An sighed. “You’ve actually been hiding it quite well, but unfortunately you were too hasty in trying to punish the Prince of Yan. You even investigated the details of the secret room in the Prince of Yan’s study, and you knew the exact weight of the last account book. You made a substitute to avoid triggering the mechanism. I think you must have already taken the account book before, which is why you know it so clearly.”
Zhang Zitong's expression changed: "As I said before, anything involving people will leave clues. I found out by investigating some of the craftsmen who participated in the construction of the secret chamber back then."
“Oh, I had people investigate those craftsmen you were looking into afterward. They did indeed participate in the construction of the Prince of Yan’s mansion, but they only participated in the construction of the outer perimeter of the study. They knew nothing about the situation in the inner secret room. How could you have gotten that information from them?” Zu An looked at her coldly.
“I…” Zhang Zitong finally showed a hint of panic on her face, “There are also a few craftsmen. In order to protect their safety, I deliberately concealed their names. This is something I promised them.”
“Now you can tell us their information, and we’ll verify it ourselves.” Zu’an pointed to the people in the room. “The lowest rank here is silver-ranked embroidered robes, so they shouldn’t be able to leak information.”
"Yes, Miss Zhang, please tell us their information quickly, and we can absolutely guarantee their safety." Xiao Jianren hurriedly looked at Zhang Zitong, his eyes seemingly pleading.
“Okay, they live in…” Zhang Zitong’s voice trailed off, and Xiao Jianren couldn’t help but lean closer to listen.
Just then, Zhang Zitong suddenly attacked, twisting his arm and pulling out a dagger from her sleeve, holding it to his neck.
These days, Xiao Jianren had been thinking about having a chance to get closer to her, but she kept her distance from him. He never expected that their most intimate contact would happen under these circumstances, and he immediately turned ashen-faced.
The other silver medalists in the arena were also tense and ready to make a move at any moment. They knew exactly what was going on with the opponent's current performance.
Zuan looked at her calmly: "You think you can get away?"
Zhang Zitong's face was pale, a hint of stubbornness and resentment flashing across her face: "When did you start to doubt me?"
