Chapter 46: Catching the murderer

When everyone saw the bloodstains on the stone, they all showed frightened expressions.

"Who is so vicious to throw a stone at Gu Wanwan?"

"Gu Wanwan is so pitiful. She is only fifteen years old."

"Who is it? We are all here to have fun, how could they do such a thing? It's really scary."

"Hey, why hasn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived yet?" someone suddenly said.

Everyone came to their senses and found it strange. Why didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come for such a big event? Didn't anyone report it yet?

Mo Yunzhu thought that it seemed that Long Yi and Long Er had succeeded.

But seeing more and more people gathering, and Mo Huaiqing not coming, she was a little confused. Where did this woman go? She wouldn't go to look for the prince, would she?

Zhuo Yu brought the stone over, and Mo Yunzhu immediately stepped forward to take it. After a careful look, she saw that the stone was picked up from the ground. Because it was very uneven, in addition to the side that hit Gu Wanwan, there was also a small sharp corner on the other side. Mo Yunzhu immediately raised her eyes and looked at the fifteen women.

Dai Yaohe and Gao Pianran were already so angry that their faces turned blue, but after hearing what Mo Yunzhu said, they dared not move.

"Everyone, the murderer is among you. This stone is the murder weapon. It is very easy to find Gu Wanwan's murderer. As long as we find this murderer first, we can also find the one who pushed Gu Qinxin into the water. After all, in this kind of thing, it must be a coordinated effort between two people. Okay, all of you stretch out your hands like this."

Mo Yunzhu made a gesture with her palms facing upwards.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and someone asked, "Miss Mo, can you tell who the murderer is by looking at the palm of his hand?"

"I have my own way. Stretch it out. The one who doesn't stretch it out must be guilty of being a thief."

When everyone heard this, they all stretched out their hands.

Zhuo Yu and Hao Jiang both stood at the front, observing the facial expressions of these women, and of course Mo Yunzhu would not miss it.

She guessed that what happened to Gu Qinxin and Gu Wanwan must have something to do with her. After all, these two sisters were the only ones who absolutely supported her before.

Then some people dislike these two sisters.

The people who hated Mo Yunzhu were nothing more than a few people who wanted to compete for the position of Crown Princess. They had come prepared and wanted to be in the spotlight and be noticed by the Crown Prince, but her appearance made them supporting roles. How could they not be angry with her?

If I don't dare to take it out on her, then I'll take it out on the Gu sisters.

If we just push Gu Qinxin to go into the water, there are many people here and she can be rescued after all. But it is understandable that she is embarrassed.

But now hitting Gu Wanwan is obviously to kill her. This is really too vicious.

If Mo Huaiqing was here, she would definitely suspect Mo Huaiqing first, but obviously it was not Mo Huaiqing this time, as she and Hongdou had not shown up yet.

After everyone stretched out their hands, Mo Yunzhu started from the first one. After looking at the palms of fifteen people, she raised her foot and kicked a woman to the ground.

"It's you!" Mo Yunzhu kicked the maid, but she was actually looking at the maid's master Gao Pianran.

Gao Pianran, the daughter of the Grand Tutor, was a lady from a prominent family who was famous throughout the capital.

"Mo Yunzhu, you are spitting blood on me!" Gao Pianran's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

"Am I spitting blood on you?" Mo Yunzhu walked up to the fallen maid and stepped on her right palm.

"Everyone come over and take a look at this girl's palms. What's the difference between them and others?"

Several people immediately gathered around curiously.

"There is a sunken mark and some bruises on the thick part of the palm." Someone noticed it.

Zhuo Yu immediately walked over with the blood stone, squatted down, and touched the small pointed corner of the other side of the stone that was not stained with blood.

They match exactly.

The maid's face was full of pain and her eyes were filled with fear.

"Everyone, did you see clearly? It took a lot of strength for a person to hit Gu Wanwan unconscious. She must have used all her strength to hit her with the stone. The stone was uneven, so it would have left a mark on the other side that sank deep into the flesh, causing a bruise. This palm is a perfect match. Miss Gao, what else do you have to say?"

"Oh my God!" Everyone looked at Gao Pianran in horror, as if no one could believe that it was this lady from a noble family who did this.

Gao Pianran was sweating in anxiety and shook her head, "It's not me. I don't know why she did that! Mo Yunzhu, you can't slander me just because she is my maid!"

"Oh? Do you mean your maid can be bribed?" Mo Yunzhu looked at the maid and said, "You won't say anything? If you don't say anything, do you know what is waiting for you? You are just a little servant, and you dare to commit a crime against the daughter of the Minister of War. Caning or beheading is the lightest punishment! If the Minister investigates, your whole family will be buried with you!"

"Qianxia, ​​don't talk nonsense! I didn't ask you to harm Gu Wanwan!" Gao Pianran immediately glared at the maid Qianxia and said.

"Has anyone seen this Qianxia talking to someone else before? For example, with someone's maid?"

Everyone started whispering again, and then a man jumped out and said, "I saw Qianxia and Miss Dai's maid Huang Li whispering outside the pavilion."

"Wang Feiyang, what nonsense are you talking about!" Dai Yaohe jumped up instantly and looked at the man.

Xu Changyong immediately said, "Miss Dai, Brother Feiyang is just telling the truth. Don't you want me to stop you? You are so angry. It seems you are an accomplice."

This Wang Feiyang is Xu Changyong’s good friend. He just told Xu Changyong secretly, and Xu Changyong asked him to tell it out.

Mo Yunzhu really didn't expect that this nerd Xu Changyong was completely on her side today, and with his status and position, he was not afraid of Dai Yaohe and Gao Pianran.

It seems that after the performance, she actually gained a fan.

This nerd is very popular in the eyes of these talented people.

"Xu Yongchang, shut up!" Dai Yaohe was so angry that her face turned blue. "Miss Gao and I are friends. What's wrong with two maids talking to each other? Does this mean that Miss Gao and I have teamed up to harm the Gu sisters? Are they worthy?"

Mo Yunzhu glanced at Dai Yaohe, then looked at the maid Huang Li beside her who had an extremely ugly expression on her face, and suddenly had a hunch that Dai Yaohe might really not know about this.

"Qianxia, ​​tell Miss Mo why you want to harm the Gu sisters and whether I instructed you to do so!" Gao Pianran asked her maid, looking at Qianxia with cold eyes.

Qianxia immediately lowered her head and started crying. She thought for a long time before raising her head.

"Qianxia, ​​if you don't tell the truth, I will hand you over to the Ministry of Justice. Do you know the consequences?" Mo Yunzhu asked.

Qianxia suddenly said in a low voice: "This matter was thought up by me, Huang Li and I, just to vent our young lady's anger."

The whole audience immediately burst into sobs.

"Are you sure that it was only you two servants who did it? Your master didn't ask you to do it?" Mo Yunzhu snorted again.

Dai Yaohe slapped her servant Huang Li fiercely and said, "Tell me, was it really you who took the initiative to collude with her?"
