Chapter 105 Murderer
The expression of the man kneeling on the ground changed drastically, and he quickly expressed his position: "We are willing to cooperate with the inspection. Please calm down the general."
Mu Huo waved his hand, and the guards immediately stepped forward to arrest him.
Seeing that the guards were going to arrest Li Bi'er, Su Biwen pushed away the guards in front of him and shouted loudly: "Wait a minute -"
Everyone looked over.
Su Biwen withdrew his gaze, looked at Mu Huo and said, "General, I was the man in black who broke into Zhen Jiulang's yard that night, and it was I who stole the medicine."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent again.
Admitting to being a man in black is equivalent to admitting to being a murderer.
Li Bi'er looked at Su Biwen with a complicated expression. She couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, she just knew she felt a little uncomfortable.
Is he...protecting her?
Su Biwen continued: "But I didn't kill those two guards."
Cui Hengyue sneered: "That night, you were the only one who went to Zhen Jiulang's yard. If it wasn't you, who was the one who killed them? You didn't mean to say that the two guards were killed by ghosts, right?"
"Isn't it normal for ghosts to kill people?" Su Biwen replied calmly.
"Haha, do you really think that we are all idiots and will you believe your lies?"
Cui Hengyue turned to Mu Huo and said, "General, let's check again. Maybe he has accomplices..."
"I have no accomplices." Su Biwen shouted out in desperation.
But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Su Biwen realized that he had made a mistake.
Sure enough, Cui Hengyue sneered: "Haha, you don't have any accomplices? You are just asking for it."
Then he turned to Mu Huo and said, "General, Su Biwen is the murderer."
"No, I'm not a murderer, I'm talking about my accomplice who didn't steal the medicine." After coming to his senses, Su Biwen hurriedly explained.
"Whether it is, we will know after checking it." Cui Hengyue looked at Mu Huo, waiting for him to give an order.
Mu Huo waved to Chen Guang and others.
Chen Guang and others took action immediately.
This time, no one struggled.
Cui Hengyue stretched out her hands towards Mu Huo: "Can you let go now?"
Mu Huo took out his dagger and picked at the rope, and the rope broke instantly.
Two quarters of an hour later, the guards escorted those people back.
Chen took Li Bi'er to the front alone and reported to Mu Huo: "General, Li Bi'er's injury has been treated with medicine."
Hearing this, Qiu Rou couldn't help shouting: "So Madam Li is going to Zhen Jiulang's yard. Doesn't that mean Madam Li is also a murderer?"
"She's not." Su Biwen flicked the knife away.
Qiu Rou flinched, but thinking about weaving fishing nets, she straightened her back: "Ms. Li is your accomplice, so naturally you want to help her exonerate her."
"You..." Su Biwen clenched his fists and said word by word: "Let me say it one last time, I have no accomplices in stealing medicine, and I have not killed anyone."
Li Bier followed up and said, "Yes, I sneaked into Zhen Jiulang's yard secretly, but that was because the injury on my arm was very serious. If I didn't apply medicine in time, my hand would be useless.
"That's why I took the risk to steal Zhen Jiulang's medicine, but I climbed over the wall and didn't touch the two guards."
Cui Hengyue sneered coldly: "Really? Then what evidence do you have to prove that you didn't kill anyone?"
"Then what evidence do you have to prove that we killed someone?" Li Bi'er asked without answering.
"That night, you were the only ones who went to Zhen Jiulang's courtyard, and after you went, the two guards died. Who was the murderer if it wasn't you?"
Li Bier: "..."
Seeing that Li Bi'er was defeated, Su Biwen immediately said: "We have no grudges against those two guards. It is impossible to kill them."
Cui Hengyue: "You have no grudge against them, but you have grudge against me.
"That time in the south courtyard, you two teamed up to assassinate me. When the assassination failed, you came up with a trick to frame the murder. The method was really clever. I was almost executed as a murderer."
Su Biwen was choked, and then shouted: "Don't slander us, we did not assassinate you, nor did we kill the two guards."
"Haha——" Cui Hengyue was too lazy to argue with him and turned to look at Mu Huo: "General, the murderer has been found. Let's pronounce the sentence."
Seeing Cui Hengyue's expression of revenge, Mu Huo couldn't help but sigh in his heart: She is such a simple girl, how could things be so simple?
Sure enough, Li Bier suddenly said: "Who said we can't prove our innocence?"
The joy in the corner of Cui Hengyue's eyes solidified instantly.
"That night, when I came out of Zhen Jiulang's courtyard, the guard was still alive. Zhen Jiulang knows this best. If you don't believe me, you can ask Zhen Jiulang."
After finishing her words, Li Bier looked at Zhen Jiu, wanting to wink at him, but she was met with a pair of dead eyes.
She looked at Kuxuan again, but saw that Kuxuan lowered his head and did not look at her, and her heart suddenly sank.
They have a common enemy, will he help her?
Just when Li Bi'er was feeling uneasy, Zhen Jiu spoke: "That night, Li Bi'er and Su Biwen broke into my yard and threatened me to take out the medicine.
"After the two of them left, I ordered Ku Xuan to inform the guards about the matter and ask the guards to report it to General Mu.
"At that time, the guards were still alive, so Li Bi'er and Su Biwen were not the murderers."
After hearing these words, Li Bier and Su Biwen were overjoyed.
However, the next moment, Cui Hengyue sneered: "A person who is full of lies, his confession cannot be trusted."
Li Bi'er and Su Biwen's hearts suddenly sank.
Zhen Jiu was unwilling to give in, pointed at Ku Xuan and said: "He can also prove it."
"He is your servant and he only obeys your orders. His confession cannot be trusted." Cui Hengyue said calmly.
Zhen Jiu: "..."
Cui Hengyue added: "You lied repeatedly and protected the murderer. You are an accomplice."
Upon hearing this, Ku Xuan could no longer hold his anger: "Jiulang is not an accomplice, he has nothing to do with this matter."
"It doesn't matter? Then why did he help the murderer get away with it many times?" Cui Hengyue insisted.
Kuxuan paused for a moment and answered bravely: "Jiulang didn't help them, he just told the truth."
"Oh, you don't even believe this yourself."
Cui Hengyue turned around and said to Mu Huo: "General, the case has been revealed and can be closed."
This little girl is really pushing her limits...
Mu Huo took two steps forward and said loudly: "Take Master and Servant Zhen Jiu, Li Bi'er, and Su Biwen down, interrogate them strictly, and use torture if necessary."
Cui Hengyue immediately became angry and rushed towards Mu Huo: "It's so obvious, why are you interrogating me?"
Mu Yun stretched out his hand to stop her: "There is insufficient evidence, so of course we need to interrogate."
Not enough evidence?
The anger in Cui Hengyue's eyes burned even more fiercely: "When you convicted me at the beginning, the evidence was insufficient, so why did you sentence me to death?
“Now that they are the same as I was then, why don’t we sentence them to death?
"tell me why?"
Mu Yun was immediately speechless.
The original death penalty was not imposed by him, but by the master.
"Cui Hengyue, don't make trouble unreasonably."
Mu Huo reprimanded and comforted Cui Hengyue: "After the interrogation, if they are really murderers, I will definitely behead them."
Cui Hengyue's anger froze.
"Zhen Jiulang, I'm offended." The guard stretched out his hand.
Ku Xuan hurriedly looked away from Cui Hengyue and waved away the guard's hand: "Let's go by ourselves."
Then he supported Zhen Jiu and followed the guards out of the courtyard.
