2099 Chapter 2098-asking again

Song Yi sat on the ground powerlessly. In the end, the Yamen still found out.

At this moment, he felt a sense of relief. He hadn’t had a good rest these days and had been thinking about whether to go to the Yamen to tell them what he saw. At first, he really didn’t think that ye cuiru would kill Xie Yun. He only thought that ye cuiru might be trying to scare Xie Yun or that she didn’t do anything to Xie Yun.

He had only seen Xie Yun and ye cuiru get into the car and the two of them seemed to be talking and laughing.

When he heard that the Xie family had reported the case to the Yamen and saw the flower, he only thought that ye cuiru had hidden Xie Yun. He thought that women were jealous and thought that he liked Xie Yun and wanted to punish her. Until the day before yesterday, a corpse was found at the bottom of their well. The Yamen people brought the corpse up for him to take a look.

Xie Yun was dead.

He couldn’t describe his feelings at that time. For the past two days, it was as if a heavy stone had been hanging in his heart, and now, this heavy stone had been put down.

By the time he came back to his senses, Gu Xin was no longer in prison. His entire body was covered in cold sweat.

The jailer took him to a single cell and told him to stay inside. He was calm at the moment.

……

Soon, the ye family was captured and brought to the capital governor’s office. The magistrate had not been informed, but he knew about it. However, he was not summoned for interrogation.

The magistrate still handed the matter to Gu Xin. He didn’t handle this case from the start, leaving it all to Gu Xin. To be able to be the magistrate in the capital, one must be able to read the mood and read the mind of the people in charge. Hence, Gu Xin didn’t ask anyone to call him, so he pretended not to know and continued to work in his room. The capital was so big, there was more than one case, there were many other miscellaneous things he had to do.

Gu Xin got someone to bring the ye family to an interrogation room and the family of five was called in one by one.

Gu Xin asked them about what they said the night before, asking them to tell her what the entire family had been doing from the seventh day of the Lunar New Year to the day the dead body was found. She said that this was their last chance. If they tried to hide anything, no matter what the result was, they would be punished with 20 strokes of the stick for obstructing the Yamen’s work and be locked up for half a month.

The ye couple really seemed to be unaware of it and said the same thing as the night before.

Ye cuiru’s brother and sister-in-law hesitantly said that ye cuiru went out in the afternoon on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year and only came back after night fell. However, they didn’t know where she went and she wouldn’t tell them even if they asked.

The last person he asked was ye cuiru.

Ye cuiru was still as shy and timid as ever. She answered Gu Xin’s questions and admitted that she had seen Xie Yun on the seventh day of the new year. However, she only sent Xie Yun home because man Zhu was not around. She wanted to go out of the city to buy some things, so she drove her family’s carriage out of the city.

Gu Xin asked her why she said she was going to deliver something when she left the city.

Ye cuiru said calmly. Because she usually went out of the city to help her brother and sister-in-law deliver things, she knew all the soldiers who guarded the city, and they also knew her, so she recorded it as usual.

Without waiting for Gu Xin to ask, she even took the initiative to tell her that she entered the city from the West Gate. Since they were staying here, which was closer to the West Gate, she sent Xie Yun home. The Xie family was closer to the East Gate, so she chose to leave from the East. The place where she sold her things was in a village in the South of the capital, so she chose to enter from the East.
