Chapter 1189: Chapter 1185: The Killer: Xiao Hui

Zi Wei nodded reassuringly, but for some reason, Yue Lian’s words intensified the discomfort in his heart.

He felt like he owed her.

But he had to make it clear to Yue Lian, “I can’t bring back the body, but I will protect you.”

Yue Lian stopped in her tracks, a strange feeling rising from the depths of her heart, suddenly filled with happiness, she felt an urge to laugh.

“Hubby, could you say that again?” It was rare for her to hear him speak so much, and his unusually hoarse voice was music to her ears.

Zi Wei frowned, he didn’t speak again.

Yue Lian felt a bit embarrassed, realizing she might have been pushing her luck.

“Let’s hurry on.” She lowered her head and walked briskly forward.

Zi Wei followed her, his hoarse voice carried by the wind, “I will protect you.”

The body of Wang Weiran was once again in front of Su Yingxue, who immediately proceeded with the examination, without even waiting for Chu Yihan.

By the time Chu Yihan rushed back to Song Garden, Su Yingxue had already finished examining the body. She was removing her gloves, sprinkled vinegar in the charcoal basin, and carefully washed her hands several times.

Chu Yihan tucked a stray hair behind her ear, “Have you reached a conclusion?”

Su Yingxue nodded seriously, “Yes! Based on the wounds on Wang Weiran’s body and the cause of death, it can be concluded that he was not drowned while drunk; he was murdered.”

Chu Yihan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze gradually sharpening.

Su Yingxue wrote a detailed autopsy report for Chu Yihan and had Wang Jingzhi bring the previous Wuzuo in for questioning. Upon seeing the autopsy report written by Su Yingxue and facing the formidable presence of Chu Yihan, the Wuzuo broke down in tears after just a few questions, “The emperor sees clearly, Lord sees clearly, it was… someone bribed me! They gave me 10,000 taels of silver to falsify the autopsy report, I had no choice!”

Chu Yihan slammed the table, “Who instructed you? Speak up!”

The Wuzuo lay on the ground like a limp shrimp, “It was…it was…”

He wanted to speak, but he was too afraid!

Although the emperor was the ruler, especially here in Yangzhou… the Xiao family was dominant!

The Xiao family controlled the daily necessities of the common people in these four cities, as well as their economic lifelines. Anyone who offended the Xiao family could not survive in Jiangnan!

Especially the masters of the Xiao family.

Wang Jingzhi immediately stood in front of him, rebuking him sternly, “You dare to withhold information in front of the emperor? Absolutely insolent! If you don’t speak, I will have you tied up and hung in the front hall until you do!”

The Wuzuo, terrified out of his wits, saw Wang Jingzhi’s men bring a rope and started wailing, “It was Xiao Hui! It was the fourth young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Hui!”

After he shouted, he seemed to lose all his strength, collapsing on the ground, his soul too weary to tremble.

Chu Yihan got the answer, had someone write down the testimony, and had the Wuzuo sign it. He then ordered Wang Jingzhi to guard him closely, not allowing any accidents.

Wang Jingzhi went personally, as Chu Yihan had instructed, always thoroughly involved in every mission, even if he had been stunned by a sleeping draught before, he dared not rest or neglect his duties for a moment.

After Wang Jingzhi left, when there was no one around, Su Yingxue approached Chu Yihan, “Now we have the evidence and the body, we can convict Xiao Hui!”

Chu Yihan, seeing her face drawn close, lifted her chin and pinched her delicate nose, “It’s not that simple. The testimony of a single Wuzuo is not enough, Xiao Hui can still defend himself. The maid who poisoned Wang Yun hasn’t been caught yet. If she’s caught and the evidence is conclusive, then Xiao Hui won’t be able to deny the charges.”
