"Your Highness!" The little thief's face turned pale with fear, and he started to speak without thinking. "I know one more thing. The other day, when I passed by the boss's door, I heard someone mention the word 'Crown Prince'! Maybe it was Your Highness who did this. You must not say it was me who said it. I still want to live!"
He revealed his cards.
He didn't want to say it before because he was afraid of causing trouble.
This is their royal affair, why should I interfere?
But now, he has no choice but to speak up, no one gives him a choice.
If he had a choice, he would just hope not to get involved in this kind of business again in the future.
"Prince?" Sheng Mingyu's face turned gloomy and his heart was full of doubts.
Du Changming kidnapped Gu's mother? What was he planning to do? Was he using this to threaten Gu Yunni?
"Are you sure what you said is true? The one you are trying to rape is the Crown Prince. If it is found out that it is not true, no one can save you." Sheng Mingyu's tone turned cold.
"Really! Your Highness, I've already come this far, how could I possibly lie to you? Everything I say is true!"
The little thief was eager to prove himself. The prince asked him to tell the truth, but now that he had told the truth, he felt that what he said was not true.
So what should he do?
"You..." Sheng Mingyu glared at him with disappointment, but didn't know how to refute it. This might really be the truth.
And he also had to tell Gu Yunni the truth, but he should think about how to say it.
Sheng Mingyu sighed and stood up. "Alright, let's lock him up here for now. No one is allowed to open the door without my permission. Don't give them any food for the next few days. Let them starve."
"yes."
Sheng Mingyu was in a bad mood. After giving a few instructions, he returned to his room.
He had to think about how to tell Gu Yunni about this next.
He did not interrogate other prisoners. This matter was probably almost true, so there was no need to waste time interrogating others.
Those people can be kept in case they are useful.
"Why are you back so soon? Shouldn't you be interrogating the prisoner? Have you already gotten the result? Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
Gu Yunni remained calm. When she saw Sheng Mingyu walking in from outside the mansion, she quickly went to greet him, hoping to get a good answer this time.
"I..." Sheng Mingyu's face looked unhappy, and he didn't know how to answer Gu Yunni's question for a moment.
It was really difficult. What should he say to appease her?
After thinking for a long time, he slowly spoke, "I did find out some things during the interrogation, but I don't think the information is necessarily true. How about you wait a little longer? There are still a few prisoners who haven't been interrogated yet. When the time comes, I can get the answers from them and tell you."
Sheng Mingyu wanted to continue delaying time, but he felt a little uneasy. He always felt that telling Gu Yunni the truth would make her anxious.
"Prince, what are you struggling with?" Gu Yunni opened her mouth in astonishment. When did Sheng Mingyu become so unreliable?
On second thought, perhaps he was worried about her, so she said, "Are you lying to me? Just tell me who is behind this. As long as it's not you, I won't be angry. I'm not the kind of person who is unreasonable, and you don't have to think I'm so uncalm. I know how to do things, and I won't act impulsively."
Gu Yunni was also a little nervous. In fact, she had been attracted to Sheng Mingyu for some time.
If today's incident causes the relationship between the two of them to become distant and harbor grudges, then it would be more harm than good.
Gu Changan was also waiting for news at the moment. He was very nervous when he heard it and was eager to know an answer.
In the expectant eyes of the two, Sheng Mingyu seemed to have made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and repeated to Gu Yunni everything the little thief had said before.
"Someone said it was the Crown Prince who did it. As for his reason for doing this, I can't think of it, and they didn't say it. I'm not trying to excuse the Crown Prince, but I really think he has no reason. He has feelings for you, so what good would harming your mother bring?"
He also analyzed it.
When Gu Yunni heard this, her mood suddenly became heavy.
If it was someone else who did it, she would be able to handle it easily.
But if Du Changming did it, what should he do? Should he take the prince's life?
Then the whole family would not be able to continue living.
"Are there any other gains? Or, what are your guesses? I trust you, and as long as you tell me, I'm willing to listen." Gu Yunni took a deep breath and asked another question.
Since Sheng Mingyu thought in this direction, there must be some basis for it. It is impossible for him to deceive himself casually.
She wanted to know why Sheng Mingyu said that.
"This prince thinks that this group of people might have done this on purpose. How about we go together and take another look? It's a good opportunity for you to listen to what they say and analyze it."
Sheng Mingyu was a little confused. He didn't know how to explain his guess.
It’s best not to involve this matter with the royal family.
"Okay, I understand." Gu Yunni's tone was a little depressed.
She knew what Sheng Mingyu was thinking and didn't make things difficult for him anymore.
He is also helping me, so what can I complain about?
"Then let's go and interrogate him together. Since it's not the prince, we should find out who is behind the murder. This matter concerns my mother's life, so I must be extremely careful. Big brother, wait for my news."
Gu Yunni was not stubborn and spoke seriously.
Gu Changan also supported Gu Yunni's decision and nodded in agreement, "I understand, little sister. Don't worry, go with the prince to interrogate him. I'll wait for your news."
He also hopes that Gu Yunni can be with Sheng Mingyu, but if Gu Yunni is not happy with Sheng Mingyu, he will not support this relationship.
I just hope that this time the interrogation can produce a good result. In this way, for Yun Ni, the prince can be relied upon.
Inside the prison, they were preparing to change the candidate. If they continued to ask the same person from last time, he would just insist that it was the prince.
As soon as Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni stepped into the cell, the leader's tone was extremely disdainful, provoking Sheng Mingyu's temper, "Your Highness, I thought you had become timid, so why are you here again? Didn't you say you were going to interrogate me? Why is it my turn now?"
He knew that Sheng Mingyu was hard to get angry, but as long as what he said was harsh enough, or if it provoked Gu Yunni, he didn't believe that Sheng Mingyu could resist taking action.
When the time comes, I might be able to give myself a good time if I act on impulse.
