Hua Yuanzhao was almost laughing out of anger, thinking that Hua Yuanshan had really done her best to frame her, and she was willing to say such ridiculous things!
It's really ridiculous that he pretends to know when he doesn't!
She looked at Hua Yuanshan sarcastically and asked her, "There are nine kinds of needles used in medicine. Which one are you talking about?"
Hua Yuanshan didn't understand any of this, so she just said hastily, "It's the one you used yesterday!"
Hua Yuanzhao said slowly, "So it's that kind. The tip of that kind of needle is rounded without a sharp edge, and the needle is long and thin. But the needle in front of me has a sesame-shaped eye, thin at the bottom and thick at the top, and the tip of the needle has a blade. It's obviously an embroidery needle!"
Hua Yuanzhao imitated Hua Yuanshan and said sarcastically: "You are so good at embroidery, who knows if you killed someone while embroidering?"
"Third Prince, you'd better arrest her quickly!" Hua Yuanzhao pointed at Hua Yuanshan and said to Gu Changsu, imitating Hua Yuanshan's tone.
"Stop slandering me here!" Hua Yuanshan was so angry that she almost collapsed. Seeing the suspicious looks from the people around her, she was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead and she hurriedly grabbed Gu Changsu's sleeve.
"I was asking the Third Prince for calligraphy lessons yesterday afternoon. When I came out of the study, I met Madam Rong. How could I possibly kill someone?"
For some reason, Gu Changsu felt guilty for a moment after hearing Hua Yuanshan's explanation.
But when he saw Hua Yuanzhao's fat body, his guilty conscience instantly disappeared.
Patting Hua Yuanshan's hand that was holding his sleeve in a soothing manner, Gu Changsu whispered to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, Second Miss. I naturally know that it's not you."
Hua Yuanzhao nodded and wiped away the non-existent tears with grievance.
Seeing the interaction between the two, Hua Yuanzhao was stunned. Although she knew that there was some ambiguity between the two, she didn't expect them to be so blatant. It seemed that the original body could not escape the green hat on its head.
If it weren't for the marriage decree, the position of the Third Prince's fiancée would have been replaced long ago!
After comforting Hua Yuanshan, Gu Changsu looked back at Hua Yuanzhao, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Besides that, what else do you have to say?"
"Isn't that enough?" Hua Yuanzhao frowned and repeated, "The dagger is not a lethal weapon, nor is it pulled out immediately after a person dies. I can't wait for several hours after killing someone and then come back to hide the dagger, right?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsu shook his head in disappointment. It was impossible to determine the identity of the murderer just by looking at a needle that could be found anywhere!
If it was any other time it would be fine, but someone happened to die during the prayer time. If the real culprit cannot be found immediately, I am afraid that my father will blame him for his incompetence.
It would be better to arrest Hua Yuanzhao first. Now that we have both witnesses and evidence, it can be considered an explanation for the time being.
"If the dagger is pulled out immediately after killing someone, the murderer's body will inevitably be stained with a large amount of blood." Gu Changsu said: "There are guards patrolling the mountain at night. If there is blood on the clothes, they will definitely be questioned."
"But if we wait until the blood coagulates before pulling out the dagger, it will be much easier to hide it from the guards' eyes." Gu Changsu's words made sense, and Hua Yuanshan nodded in conviction.
She looked at Hua Yuanzhao with pride, as if she was looking at a dying snake.
"Come here, take the prisoner to the jail to await trial!" Gu Changsu waved his hand and gave Hua Yuanzhao the last death warrant.
Hua Yuanshan almost laughed out loud. She looked at Hua Yuanzhao sinisterly, with a strange arc at the corner of her mouth. As long as she was in prison, she had plenty of ways to make Hua Yuanzhao fear! sin! commit suicide!
Hua Yuanzhao instantly understood what Gu Changsu was thinking and subconsciously clenched the scalpel in her hand. She originally thought that Gu Changsu just wanted to get rid of her, so he listened to Hua Yuanshan's words and wanted to catch her.
But I didn't expect him to be so ruthless! He pushed her out to take the blame even though he knew she wasn't the one who killed the person!
Song Zuo responded loudly, his eyes glowing green with excitement. He didn't believe that Hua Yuanzhao would dare to hurt him in front of so many people!
Grabbing Hua Yuanzhao's wrist, Song Zuo swung the heavy handcuffs and was about to put them on her. His movements were rough and he showed no mercy at all.
"Your Highness! My young lady really didn't kill anyone! Please let my young lady go!" Fuling cried anxiously, kneeling on the ground and kowtowed continuously.
