Ji Mingxuan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that this boy thought the same as he did.
"Keep going!"
Ji Mingxuan turned around and gave Cheng Jinxing an appreciative look.
"There's another very strange thing about the Shen family's servants. Just now, when I was listening to the master interrogating them, I discovered something very strange: these servants who witnessed the incident were almost all similar. Although, their stories didn't contain any flaws."
"I have a bold guess. After observing the incident, the servants discovered they were related, either mother and son, father and son, mother and daughter, father and daughter, or siblings. They were deliberately fabricated into a story, and when the adults questioned them, they used their own story to answer."
“And the one who has this ability is naturally Madam Shen Er.”
Cheng Jinxing said seriously.
“Second Madam Shen?”
Ji Mingxuan looked at the main courtyard.
They were now standing at the entrance to the inner courtyard of the Shen Mansion, just the three of them.
The entire Shen Mansion was very quiet, with yamen runners guarding everywhere.
"Cheng Jin, tell me everything you can think of. Make bold guesses and carefully verify them!"
Ji Mingxuan looked at Cheng Jinxing again and said.
"Yes, sir. I don't think Miss Xue sent Xiao Tao or went to buy poison herself and poison the old lady. First of all, arsenic is a highly toxic substance. Madam Shen said that Xiao Tao had been bringing bird's nests to the old lady in recent days. If it was really arsenic, it would not have taken effect until today. Secondly, Xiao Tao's indenture is in Miss Xue's hands. Xiao Tao is considered a servant of the Xue family. No one in the Shen family, except Miss Xue, has the power to execute Xiao Tao, unless they are trying to silence her. Perhaps Xiao Tao knows something serious."
"The second is the death of the Shen family father and son. Master Shen was a middle-aged man with a big belly, and Miss Xue was a weak woman who was powerless. Even if she was excited, it was impossible for her to kill Master Shen with a single blow! Not to mention, Master Shen was also in the mourning hall at the time. When I first met Miss Xue, it was Master Shen who led his men to capture Miss Xue, and Miss Xue was hiding in an alley. If Miss Xue really had the ability to kill two normal adult men with a single blow, she wouldn't have been hiding in the alley so helplessly at that time."
"Another point, the adults said that there must be a motive for murder. Miss Xue has no motive at all. Madam Shen said that Old Madam Shen forced Miss Xue to go home and get married. This is completely nonsense. The two have been together for more than ten years. Even if Old Madam Shen forced Miss Xue, Miss Xue is the kind of person who would not resist. She would just cry."
"So, there's no way Miss Xue could be the murderer who poisoned her own grandmother and killed her own uncle and nephew!"
That’s all Cheng Jinxing could think of at the moment.
When he said that she could only cry, Ji Mingxuan smiled.
This kid was able to discover Hanyu's personality in such a short time. It seems that Hanyu has a really good relationship with the Cheng family.
"Then who do you think the murderer is?"
Ji Mingxuan could naturally analyze what Cheng Jinxing said on his own.
Cheng Jinxing looked up at Ji Mingxuan, then said with a firm gaze: "Whoever is not dead and whoever benefits the most is the mastermind of this case. Madam Shen Er, or Master Shen Er!"
