They didn't know how Xiao Cunyu knew the truth, but no matter what, they must not admit it!
Otherwise your future will be ruined!
"It's not difficult to find out whether something happened in your family. Brother, one lie needs ten thousand lies to cover it up. Are you sure you have agreed on the confession with your family? Do you want me to have someone arrest your family and question them now?" Xiao Cunyu said ruthlessly.
"Even a passing goose leaves a trace." Xiao Cunyu didn't give them a chance to quibble and simply told him everything he knew: "The nine of you were in Room 1, Tianzi Room, at the Jixiang Inn, collecting the gold stickers. You arrived within the same hour, took your things, and left in less than half a minute. It was already late at night, and you were all scholars. You mysteriously took the strange package from Tianzi Room. Don't you think the innkeeper and the waiters wouldn't notice?"
"You can make excuses saying you left the academy for other important matters, but how do you explain showing up at the inn together on the same night?"
"Also, after you go back, you must have not slept all night. There are many brothers in the academy who study hard and forget to eat and sleep. It is inevitable that you will run into them. You must have covered up for them a lot, right?" Xiao Cunyu said again.
It's not a difficult situation to break. With a little analysis of the events, people and places, we can follow the clues and make these people nowhere to hide.
Of course, it was also because of the ghost's intervention that she was able to act faster.
After Xiao Cunyu said these words one after another, everyone began to doubt.
Several of them even showed expressions of surprise and doubt: "Luo Jinqiu, I...I had a stomachache that night and went to the toilet several times. When I came back, I really...didn't see you. Where were you?"
"Zhang Tianming, I remember the day we saw the gold stickers, you indignantly accused Xiao Qilang and then went to bed. I heard from your servant that you didn't sleep the night before. I thought you were studying hard, but could it be... that you were actually... scattering gold stickers?"
"I... I did see some gold powder on Nie Qinglin's hand that morning... but I didn't think much of it at the time..."
“…”
At this time, the scholars who knew these nine people also began to recall.
They were in the same academy and even lived under the same roof, so it was impossible for them not to notice anything.
The more others talked, the more panicked these nine people became.
They didn't expect that Xiao Cunyu was so well prepared that he even knew that they were meeting at the inn!
"Why don't you guys tell the truth? Do you really want the academy to go to the inn and ask someone to correct you?" Wang Zhixue was angry.
At this point, what is there to hide?
"Since Mr. Xiao Qilang was able to say all your names, he must have already caught the manager behind the scenes. Do you still think you can get away with it by not saying anything? Why don't you tell the truth? Why do you do such a despicable thing?" Zhixue from Yuansheng Academy also said angrily.
This sentence directly broke through the psychological defenses of these suspects.
What they were most unsure of was how much Xiao Cunyu knew. Being able to give their names so directly, it was indeed possible that they could catch the manager!
Only in this way can we get a sure victory!
"I, I had no choice..." The first person to speak was a scholar named Li Yan. He lowered his head, clenched his fists, and said, "Someone told me to do this..."
