Bai Nuo looked at him and couldn't help but say, "But the killer was clearly the murderer, wasn't he? We're innocent too!"
Constable Cheng said in a deep voice, "Save these words for the courtroom and tell the officials. I am only acting under orders. Manager Bai, do not resist. Everyone from the Lu family has already been imprisoned. If you do not resist, you can avoid implicating the people of Duobao Pavilion and your family!"
