Chapter 369 Fatal Evidence! (Update 1)
Murong Ye turned around and his pupils shrank.
If the person coming is not Ye Chutang, then who else could it be?
He looked resentful: "Are you satisfied now?"
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows slightly: "What does Mr. Murong mean?"
She glanced inside, but could only see a glimpse of the scene inside through the gaps between the crowds.
But she didn't come here for this, so it didn't matter whether she saw more or less.
"The parties involved in this case are all closely related to me. Is it strange that I came here?"
Murong Ye seemed to have heard something funny: "How dare you say that! You also know that the one kneeling in there is your cousin! I know you have many complaints about her, but no matter what, you shouldn't--"
"Mr. Murong, you are wrong." Ye Chutang interrupted him, his eyes cold, "The person lying in the coffin in the charity cemetery is my dear second aunt. She died in such an unclear way. How can I just sit back and watch?"
"you--"
"The right and wrong of this case will be decided by the government. Mr. Murong, you are an outsider, so there is no need for you to get involved, right?"
Ye Chutang said this, his eyes lightly sweeping across his red forehead.
It was obvious that he had just been scolded at home. He was in such a desperate situation, but he still had the mind to care about Ye Shixian.
From this perspective, the story is not exaggerated at all and is quite realistic.
Murong Ye was choked, but this was the gate of the government office. He would have to be crazy to start a fight with Ye Chutang here.
"I won't argue with you!"
He looked inside again, wondering how he could move forward as much as possible without attracting anyone's attention.
If Ye Shixian could see him, maybe she wouldn't be so scared...
“Nonsense!”
A sharp female voice suddenly came, causing Murong Ye to freeze instantly, with a look of disbelief flashing across his face.
Ye Shixian had already lost her mind at this point, and she didn't care who was watching her. Her eyes were bloodshot. "I went back to my room to rest after dinner that day, and never left the house. You are lying with your eyes open! You slut, do you have to kill me?"
Shaoyao seemed to be annoyed by her scolding. The fear in her heart gradually dissipated, and was replaced by endless disgust.
The grievances she had suffered before were overwhelming, making her emotional.
She sneered, "You know best whether what I said is true or not, Miss? You have the keys to all the rooms, and you can enter and exit every room without attracting anyone's attention. Besides, the lady's maid was too asleep that day and didn't know anything. If you couldn't kill Gao by yourself, how could you think of me?"
Shaoyao said, looking up at Zhao Chengyin, and swore: "Sir! I didn't say a single word false! If I lie, I will be struck by lightning!"
Zhao Chengyin looked at the two of them and asked, "So, you were also involved in Gao's death?"
Peony shuddered and tears fell.
"Yes. Originally, I didn't dare to say it, but, but Ye Shixian was afraid that the truth would be revealed, so after killing Gao, she said that she would send me back to my hometown. I know that she said that because she was looking for an opportunity to kill me so that she could shut me up forever! I have no choice, death is the only option, I want to die clearly!"
If Ye Shixian wants to get rid of you, don't blame her for being rude!
Zhao Chengyin narrowed his eyes and said, "Words are not enough. This is just your opinion. Do you have any evidence other than this?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Shaoyao.
Yes! Evidence!
No matter how much she talks here, in the end we still have to look at the evidence!
But everyone knew that Gao was hanged in the middle of the night, and the only maid who served her was also unconscious that night and knew nothing about it. In this case, where could evidence be found?
Shaoyao lowered her head, her hands gradually clenched her clothes, and her knuckles turned white.
Seeing her like this, Ye Shixian almost wanted to laugh out loud.
As for evidence, the only evidence was the pot of scented tea, but that tea had been emptied out, leaving only half a pack that was taken away by the government, so there was no problem at all.
If they really wanted to find out something, why would they wait until Shaoyao reported it before coming to find her?
Ye Shixian's mouth curled up into a cold and strange arc: "Peony, you have been with me for so many years. I originally wanted to give you some money so that you could go back and find a good man to marry, and you don't have to follow me through hardships anymore. Unfortunately, you disappoint me so much."
Many people looked at each other in bewilderment.
Murong Ye watched this scene from afar and found it extremely dazzling. His chest seemed to be blocked by something and he felt very uncomfortable.
He couldn't describe the feeling. That face was clearly very familiar to him, and even looked more pitiful at this moment, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of heartache, and even felt strange.
Her resentment, her sorrow, and the hidden pride hidden beneath those high-sounding words.
It was as if... he had never really known this woman.
Many people began to talk in low voices, and the crowd became noisier and more rowdy.
At this moment, Shaoyao suddenly said, "Your Excellency, I have evidence!"
All the sounds suddenly disappeared, the surroundings fell into dead silence, and the happy smile on Ye Shixian's face froze in an instant.
Zhao Chengyin said, "Speak."
Shaoyao kowtowed and said, "My lord! I dare not hide it. When Ye Shixian hung Gao on the beam that night, Gao actually woke up. She must have felt uncomfortable and began to struggle. Ye Shixian was afraid that she would open her eyes and find that it was her who did it, so she ordered me to speed up and cover her mouth to prevent her from making any sound."
That scene is still deeply engraved in Shaoyao's mind. Whenever she thinks of it, she feels a chill all over her body.
She shuddered. "Maybe because of the medicine she drank, Gao didn't wake up completely in the end, so she gradually stopped moving and finally hanged herself! However, when she was struggling, she grabbed Ye Shixian's left shoulder hard. There are still scars on Ye Shixian's body!"
Ye Shixian was panicked, but she reacted quickly and retorted immediately: "No! My lord, she is my personal maid, it is not surprising that she knows these private matters, how can you judge based on this!"
Zhao Chengyin frowned.
She has a point.
Shaoyao looked over coldly, but suddenly a strange, happy smile appeared on her face.
"One scratch is not irrefutable evidence, but what if her clothes were torn in the same place, and there was even blood on them?!"
"What!?"
Ye Shixian looked up suddenly!
Even she doesn't know about this!
Seeing her sudden change in expression, Shaoyao finally let out the anger in her heart.
"Miss, are you surprised? At that time, you were only concerned with confirming whether Gao had completely died, but you didn't notice that the most fatal evidence was left on your body, right?"
