Thinking that the death of the second son might be related to the concubine's daughter, Youshi's half-closed eyelids twitched. After slowly opening them, she could not show any extra emotion.
If Su Qingxue had killed her second son, she would have made this little bitch pay for her son's death. Of course, she would not say a word in this situation. If Su Qingxue told her what she had confessed, she could deny it, but it would not sound good.
"This handkerchief has no other markings except for the good material. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out its owner." said Master Su with a frown.
Yu Jin smiled slightly: "Who said we can't find it?"
His words stunned everyone.
Jiang Si couldn't help but look at him, then looked at the big dog beside him, and vaguely understood something.
Zhen Shicheng couldn't wait to ask, "I wonder if there is any way to find out the owner of the handkerchief?"
Yu Jin rubbed Erniu's head and said indifferently: "Erniu, go ahead!"
Erniu sniffed the handkerchief, shook his fur, and walked slowly towards the crowd.
When people saw such a big dog coming, they couldn't help but become nervous.
"Don't worry, it won't bite."
The second cow paused and shook its tail.
The owner is talking nonsense again, which really makes it helpless.
Those who didn't know the inside story breathed a sigh of relief.
Erniu walked past everyone with his nose snorting, and suddenly turned around and rushed towards Su Qingxue.
Su Qingxue screamed and ran away.
Erniu jumped up and knocked Su Qingxue to the ground.
Su Qingxue's emotions suddenly broke down and she screamed.
Erniu put one paw on her shoulder and turned to look at Yu Jin.
"Come back." Yu Jin called Erniu back, patted him on the back with satisfaction, and praised him, "You did a good job."
Erniu shook his tail disdainfully.
There's nothing to praise about this; the hostess can do such a simple thing.
"My Lord, my dog has found the owner of the handkerchief."
Yu Jin's words awakened the dazed people, and their expressions suddenly became colorful when they looked at Su Qingxue.
Zhen Shicheng looked calm and composed, stroking his beard and saying, "I wonder what this girl's name is?"
Su Qingxue had been helped up, sobbing silently.
Mr. Su glanced at her and replied, "She is my second daughter."
Zhen Shicheng nodded: "It turned out to be Miss Su Er. I wonder if Miss Su Er could explain to me why your handkerchief appeared in the pavilion?"
Su Qingxue still looked overly frightened and was trembling all over.
"Please forgive me, Lord Zhen. My daughter must have been frightened." Elder Su glanced at Erniu with an unhappy look on his face. "A dog can determine who the owner of the handkerchief is. Isn't this too much of a joke?"
Yu Jin asked bluntly, "Does Prince Su think that human noses are more sensitive than dog noses?"
Master Su was speechless after being asked this question. He was so angry that he said, "Master Zhen, your subordinate is really unrefined!"
Zhen Shicheng smiled meaningfully: "Young people are sincere in their efforts to solve the case, Prince Su should understand."
Not particular? If you knew this guy's identity, you would know what it means to be really not particular.
"Miss Su Er, please answer my question!" Zhen Shicheng said suddenly with a gloomy face.
The color drained from Su Qingxue's face, and her legs went limp as she fell.
"Second Miss!" the maid who was supporting her called out.
Su Qingxue only had the strength to stand steadily with the help of her maid, and her whole body was shaking like a dead leaf in the wind.
Master Su looked at the terrified concubine and said, "When the master asks you a question, you should answer it honestly!"
Su Qingxue shuddered suddenly and cried resignedly, "Actually, I saw someone floating in the lake—"
As soon as she said this, Su Qingyu's face turned pale and she was about to fall down.
"What's going on?" Mr. Su's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
Yu said nothing, but her eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake.
Su Qingxue shrank back, her hands clasped tightly together: "I was playing in the east of the garden, and my clothes got dirty by accident, so I asked my third sister to go back with me to change clothes. When we passed by Juxia Lake, we found... someone floating in the lake..."
The more Su Qingxue spoke, the more terrified she looked. "My third sister and I were so frightened that we didn't even bother to identify who was in the lake and ran away. Not long after, we heard that my second brother had drowned... Woohoo, I really didn't mean to watch him die without helping. I was just too scared at the time..."
Mr. Su looked at Su Qingyu, who nodded in agreement.
Yu stared at the two concubines' daughters, her heart in turmoil.
So Su Qingxue led Yi'er to stop Jiang Si and then left, asking Su Qingyu to be a witness, but when they returned, Yi'er had already fallen into the water?
In such a short period of time, if the murderer was not Jiang Si, could it be that Yier really fell into the water by accident?
"So, the two girls discovered someone in the lake together?" Zhen Shicheng asked.
Su Qingxue and Su Qingyu looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
Yu Jin held the snow-white handkerchief with a look of disdain and said calmly, "Then how do you explain your handkerchief appearing in the pavilion?"
"How should I know?" Su Qing cried out like an avalanche, tears falling like rain. "I passed by there with my third sister, and maybe my handkerchief fell off in my haste, and was blown to Chaoyang Pavilion by the wind. Can you conclude that I was with my second brother just based on a handkerchief? Besides, what reason do I have to harm my second brother?"
Su Qingxue's rhetorical question made everyone nod secretly.
It sounds like the Second Young Lady has no reason to harm the Second Young Lady. Besides, the Third Young Lady is with her. It's impossible for the two ladies to team up and kill the Second Young Lady.
Master Su breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Maybe Yi'er really fell into the water by mistake."
At this point, he would rather his second son fell into the water accidentally, otherwise, no matter whether the murderer was his niece or his concubine's daughter, it would be a laughing stock that would make people lose face.
Unexpected things happen all the time, and people tend to be more tolerant of the unexpected.
Yu Jin suddenly chuckled, his eyes fell indifferently on Su Qingxue's face: "Coincidence? Are you treating others as fools? How can there be so many coincidences in this world? Your handkerchief appeared in the pavilion where the deceased stayed, which is enough to show that you are the biggest suspect. Otherwise, why is it your handkerchief and not someone else's? Second Miss Su, don't be so eloquent."
Su Qingxue couldn't help but retort: "It seems that my cousin is still at the lake. According to what you said, she is the biggest suspect!"
Yu Jin suddenly stopped smiling, his face as cold as ice: "People can lie, but objects cannot, so physical evidence is more reliable than human evidence. Lord Zhen, isn't that the truth?"
Zhen Shicheng looked at Yu Jin in surprise, and he seemed to be impressed. He nodded and said, "That makes some sense."
Although the case cannot be generalized, there are indeed more variables in human evidence.
"After all this talk, you still don't have any evidence. Anyway, I didn't kill my second brother. I can swear to heaven!" Su Qingxue suddenly raised her hands and shouted, "God, I swear that I didn't kill my second brother. If there is even a lie, let me be struck by lightning!"
