Chapter 347 Your Sin! (Second Update)
Zhang Qian's question was quite subtle, because Ye Shixian never said from the beginning to the end that it was Ye Chutang who killed Gao.
After all, Gao committed suicide by hanging.
But she didn't care about much at this moment, and choked up and said, "Please, sir, make a decision for us mother and daughter! My mother couldn't bear the humiliation, so she hanged herself last night! After I found her this morning, I ordered someone to put my mother's body down, and now it's in her room."
She looked at Ye Chutang with resentment and suddenly raised the blood letter in her hand: "It's all her fault! If she hadn't forced me, how could my mother be so desperate and do such a stupid thing! She only left this blood letter and left me!"
Zhang Qian frowned: "Let's go to the scene first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
As he spoke, he winked at the constable beside him and said, "That blood letter is important evidence. Please keep it safe."
"yes!"
The constable stepped forward and tried to take the blood letter.
Ye Shixian subconsciously tightened her grip.
The constable reminded: "Miss Ye, this thing must be handed over to us."
Ye Shixian then reluctantly let go.
She really had no intention of letting the government officials get involved before, but now she has no choice.
The constable handed the blood letter to Zhang Qian, who looked at it for a few seconds and then frowned.
"The bloodstain seems to have dried up not long ago, so it must have been written last night. But the words on it..."
He put away the blood letter and said, "Go in and take a look first."
Shaoyao hurried forward to help Ye Shixian up, and shouted to the two servants standing at the door: "What are you standing there for! Hurry up and open the door for Master Zhang!"
The two men finally reacted and hurried to open the door.
Squeak——
In an instant, many people stretched their necks to see what was going on.
Ye Jingyan thought about it and decided to cover Xiaowu's eyes.
Xiaowu was actually too lazy to look, so he twisted his little body and lay on Ye Jingyan's shoulder.
Ye Chutang also followed.
Ye Shixian subconsciously wanted to stop her: "You are not allowed to come in!"
Ye Chutang looked at her: "If it really has something to do with me, you have to let me die with a clear conscience, what do you think?"
Ye Shixian wanted to say something else, but Zhang Qian looked back and frowned: "Except for these few, no one else is allowed to come in!"
Ye Chutang is related to this case, so he is certainly not an outsider.
Ye Shixian couldn't stop him anymore, so she put her hand down angrily, stared at Ye Chutang with resentment, and whispered:
"As long as you are not afraid of nightmares, come and see!"
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows: "I don't feel guilty, so why would I have a nightmare?"
She raised her eyes slightly and saw Zhang Qian standing in front of a house, directing someone to open the door.
I guess that must be the room where Gao hanged herself.
Ye Chutang walked over, and Ye Shixian had no choice but to follow him, but her attitude was full of defense and vigilance.
The gate to the courtyard was closed, blocking out all kinds of gazes, and these people were the only ones left in the courtyard.
When Ye Chutang arrived at the door of the room, he heard a maid inside replying timidly.
"…Madam has not been in good health for a while, so I have been taking care of her. She should have gotten up long ago, but today she was still silent. I thought it was strange, so I pushed the door open, and then I saw—"
She seemed to recall that horrible scene and couldn't help sobbing: "I saw that the lady had stepped on the round stool, picked up a piece of white silk, and hanged herself on the beam!"
A middle-aged man walked out of the inner room and said respectfully, "Sir, Gao should have been dead for eight or nine hours. According to calculations, it should have happened at midnight last night."
Zhang Qian nodded: "There are no signs of fighting in the house, and the doors and windows are intact. It doesn't look like anyone has been here."
Ye Shixian smiled bitterly: "Since the incident at home, we moved here and there are few visitors. Those people want to stay away from us. Why would they come here again?"
Zhang Qian asked again: "How is Gao's injury?"
"I have checked it out. The marks on her neck and other body features are indeed caused by hanging."
This ruled out the possibility that Gao was strangled from behind - she was really hanged.
He paused, then added, "Also, there is a bloodstain on her left index finger, which must have been used to write the letter in blood."
Zhang Qian was a little worried.
In fact, he had seen many cases like this, so when he arrived, he didn't have to spend too much effort to figure out most of the problems.
But that’s the problem!
Gao really committed suicide, and there is no way to prove that the blood letter was written by someone else. Then the case is basically clear, and Ye Shixian's accusations against Ye Chutang are all true.
Then...how should Ye Chutang deal with it?
If it were anyone else, he wouldn't be so embarrassed, but it had to be Ye Chutang!
After a moment's silence, Zhang Qian looked at Ye Chutang: "This... do you have anything to say?"
Ye Shixian sneered: "The evidence is irrefutable, so she naturally has nothing to say!"
Ye Chutang pretended not to hear her words and only looked at the maid beside him: "Are you saying that you have been taking care of Gao's daily life all this time?"
The little maidservant didn't expect her to ask a question suddenly. She subconsciously raised her head, then hurriedly lowered it: "Yes, yes... Many people in the mansion have left. I, I have nowhere to go, so I stayed..."
Ye Chutang asked again, "In times of crisis, true love is especially valuable. Shi Xian is willing to let you take care of Second Aunt, so I guess you are thoughtful and patient, and she values you."
The maid didn't know why Ye Chutang suddenly started praising her, but with so many people watching, she didn't dare not respond.
"Yes, it is the young lady's trust. I dare not neglect it."
Ye Chutang stared at her, his tone suddenly turned cold, and he asked:
"Since you dare not neglect it, then last night Second Aunt committed suicide in the house. You were guarding outside, but you didn't hear any noise?!"
The ending tone is so cold that it makes people feel nervous!
How could the maid withstand Ye Chutang's momentum? Her legs became weak and her face turned pale.
"I, I didn't—"
"That solid wooden stool must have made a noise when it was kicked to the ground. You said you were conscientious in your duties and always looked after the Gao family, but why did you make such a big mistake?!"
Ye Chutang slowed down his tone and narrowed his eyes: "Did you neglect it and cause Gao Shi to not be rescued in time, or...did you hear or see something but pretended not to know? "
The maid collapsed to the ground in an instant, panicking: "I didn't! I really didn't! I don't know anything!"
Ye Shixian also panicked and immediately retorted sharply: "Ye Chutang! What nonsense are you talking about! This matter has nothing to do with others, don't make random accusations——"
"I'm just asking as usual." Ye Chutang said calmly, turning his head to look at her. "Since it's about the death of Second Aunt, we have to be careful and cautious. We can't easily exclude anyone. She's just a maid, so it's reasonable to question her. Why are you so nervous?"
"I--"
Ye Shixian was angry, but she couldn't get angry, so she had to endure it.
"The whole story is clear, and there is overwhelming evidence! What else is there to interrogate? It's meaningless to delay time like this!"
"It's your fault, you have to admit it!"
