"Princess, please stop trying to fool me! I don't know anything, and I don't understand what you're saying!" Manzhu had completely calmed down by now.
"Fine!" Gu Xin shook her off, stood up, and ordered the constables, "Gag her, blindfold her, and lock her in the cell where Ye Cuiru is. Bring Ye Cuiru here too!"
Officer Gao didn't give Manzhu a chance to speak at all and simply took her away.
"Princess, what does this mean? Were there other accomplices who killed the student?" Xie Jun finally realized what was happening and asked anxiously.
"It should be, but I'm not entirely sure yet. When I give you a look later, just pretend the person is the murderer of your sister, and do whatever you're told. Cooperate with me." Gu Xin nodded and said.
"I understand." Xie Jun clenched his fist, bowed his head, and stood aside.
Zheng Qiu and the constables present understood that Gu Xin had figured something out and was trying to trick the suspect.
Gu Xin sat down, tapping her fingers rhythmically on the back of the chair, thinking about Manzhu and Ye Cuiru.
They knew each other, but on the surface, it was only because of the deceased Xie Yun that they knew each other, and they were probably not very familiar with each other.
But when she was bluffing Manzhu just now, Manzhu was obviously acting strangely. It was clear that both Manzhu and Ye Cuiru were related to this case, and their words were a mix of truth and falsehood that was hard to distinguish.
Manzhu seemed flustered at first, but why did she suddenly calm down later? Did she say something wrong? Or did she go in the wrong direction?
What did she say that calmed Manzhu down?
Yes, she said she would use Ye Cuiru's testimony as evidence in court to close the case, and Manzhu suddenly calmed down.
Either Manzhu realized she was being tricked, or Ye Cuiru was shifting blame onto her for what they were doing, and it had no impact on her.
Why is she so sure that this matter has no impact on her?
Ye Cuiru liked Song Yi. If she was one of the murderers, her motive was likely that she loved Song Yi but could not have him, and therefore thought that Song Yi liked the deceased Xie Yun, so she killed Xie Yun.
What about Manju?
What was Manzhu's motive?
Gu Xin couldn't understand it. She felt that the ball of yarn was being sorted out a little, but she couldn't find the beginning of it, and it was still a mess.
At this moment, the yamen runners brought Ye Cuiru.
"Kneel down!" Gu Xin snapped out of her daze and said coldly, then gave Xie Jun a wink.
Startled by her sudden outburst, Ye Cuiru was still in shock when Xie Jun rushed forward, grabbing her by the collar with both hands: "It was you! Was it you?! You killed my sister! Was it you?! I'm going to beat you to death, to make you pay with your life!"
Xie Jun's eyes were bloodshot, as if he wanted to devour someone.
Gu Xin said, "Stop him!"
The constables stepped forward and grabbed Xie Jun, who struggled and roared, "Why did you kill Yun'er! Why did you kill Yun'er? Did you think Song Yi liked Yun'er and not you, so you killed Yun'er? You deserve to die! I'll make you and Song Yi die! I'll make you pay for your blood debt!"
Ye Cuiru knelt down with a thud, buried her head, and trembled all over.
Gu Xin waved her hand, and the yamen runners took Xie Jun away.
She hadn't expected Xie Jun to think this way. He probably wasn't faking it; he was genuinely feeling this way!
"Ye Cuiru, Manzhu has already spoken. Do you have anything to say?" Gu Xin asked coldly, looking at Ye Cuiru kneeling on the ground trembling.
