"Re-interrogate Steward Li, Xiao Shunzi, and Que'er!" Gu Xin remained silent for a while before deciding to interrogate them again.
She felt that something was off about these three people, very off.
If the murderer is one of them, the most likely candidate is Butler Li, because based on Yun Zhu's words, the masked person is definitely not a woman, given that the figure is wrong and the voice was deliberately made high-pitched.
The man in white left the woodshed and had someone bring the three people Gu Xin had mentioned.
"Wait, Baiyi, have someone find three sets of black clothes and dress them up according to Yunzhu's description before you come over. Never mind, go find Bai Er and take him with you." Gu Xin called out to Baiyi and gave him instructions.
The man in white nodded and went to do it.
"Yun Zhu, take a close look in a moment and see what makes those three different from the masked man, or rather, one of the three is the masked man," Gu Xin reminded Yun Zhu after the man in white left.
"Your Highness, I would like to ask you to grant me a request," Yun Zhu said after a moment of silence.
"Do you think you're qualified to ask me for help given your current situation?" Gu Xin smiled and asked.
"You want to be buried with Qi Moyu? I'm afraid that's not possible!" Gu En said from the side.
All three people present understood Yun Zhu's meaning: he had lost the will to live, and he might commit suicide after this case was over.
Perhaps he wanted to die after learning that Qi Moyu was dead, but the fact that the murderer who killed Qi Moyu was not found gave him some attachment to this world.
Gu Xin couldn't help but start to think about a question: Can love really make people disregard life and death and follow each other to the death?
She didn't know what the other would do if either she or Lu Zheng died, so she didn't understand.
"Yun Zhu, have you ever considered what Young Master Qi thinks of you?" Zheng Qiu asked.
Yun Zhu looked at Zheng Qiu, not understanding what she meant.
"Don't people often advise others? All the dead wish that the person they cherished was alive and well in this world, to see what they never saw and experience what they never went through," Zheng Qiu continued.
Yun Zhu was stunned for a moment, but Gu En pulled her back to reality.
Gu En said very frankly, "Xiao Qiu, you're wrong to say that. Aren't you just giving people hope and then shattering it? Yun Zhu killed the Feng sisters, how could he possibly have survived? According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, those who intentionally kill others shall be executed!"
The light in Yun Zhu's eyes faded.
Zheng Qiu glanced at Gu En speechlessly.
Gu En walked over and put his arm around Zheng Qiu's shoulder, as if he were putting his arm around a classmate: "Xiao Qiu, you're a coroner, you can't just show kindness to everyone. It's not that kindness is bad, it's not that persuading people to live is bad. It's just, why are you trying to persuade someone who's obviously going to be beheaded? Aren't you giving them hope for life, and then cutting them off with one blow?"
Zheng Qiu silently moved to the side, not wanting to get so close to Gu En.
She realized she was wrong; her previous impression of Gu En was completely wrong.
This is truly worthy of being the son of Marquis Huinong. He's similar to that chubby little Gu Xiaoliu; they both seem to be just like their fathers, a bit silly.
Gu En tried to reach out again, but Zheng Qiu was pulled away by Gu Xin. Gu Xin glared at Gu En and said, "Shut up! If you don't understand, just look at it. If you still don't understand after looking at it, then ask."
