Compared to Bai Lu's setback, Xun Ziyang seemed to feel that he had grasped the initiative and his attitude was much more relaxed than before.
"Is there a need for me to lie to you now? Originally, I didn't want to make things difficult for you, but who asked you to be so unlucky to want to meddle in this matter? If you want to keep your decent reputation, help me this time. Of course, you're also helping yourself! "
Xun Ziyang had completely given up on pretending. He squinted his eyes and curled up the corners of his mouth, showing his ruthless and selfish determination.
Bai Lu was already in a mess. He thought that he was a man of steel who had a clear conscience.
Initially, he stood on Xun Ziyang's side because he firmly believed that Xun Ziyang was innocent. That was why he was more heavy-handed in order to seek justice.
But now, he had become Xun Ziyang's accomplice.
Bai Lu's firm belief had collapsed. Especially for someone like him who had a strong belief, he felt as though the sky was falling.
"You don't have to suspect that I'm lying to you."
Xun Ziyang was afraid that Bai Lu had not given enough of a blow, so he told him the truth of the matter.
"I'm not afraid to tell you. That night, I was the one who went to his room and stabbed myself with a dagger. At that time, he only wanted to help me up. I was the one who shouted and attracted the crowd. I was the one who told them that it was that guy who wanted to kill me. By the time you arrived, those people had already thought that what I said was true. Moreover, that guy's temper was too bad, he would definitely not give in. I still have to thank you for what happened in the future. "
Every word was like a lightning strike.
Bai Lu stood there in a daze, subconsciously looking at his own hands.
So, so he was actually this confused about right and wrong.
Then what was the point of all his checks?
Lin Mengya knew that Bai Lu had fallen into Xun Ziyang's trap.
"Don't believe his nonsense! Even if you handled the wrong case, he was the one who lied to you first! You are indeed at fault, but your fault is that you trusted the wrong person. This is completely different from what he said about helping the evildoer! "
A cold light flashed across Xun Ziyang's eyes because of her blabbermouth.
"Hmph! What do you know? One must know that that person had been through life and death with Bai Lu. Just because of the so-called justice, Captain Bai had 'placed righteousness before family'. Am I right, Bai Lu? "
This is terrible!
Lin Mengya suddenly understood why Bai Lu looked so despondent.
If it was just an ordinary case, Bai Lu might feel angry, but he wouldn't be shocked.
To a person like Bai Lu, interrogating his own brother would definitely make him feel guilty.
However, he could only constantly tell himself that he was doing this for justice and Gong Ping to make himself feel slightly better.
But now, someone was telling him that all of this was fake.
He wasn't sacrificing his family for the sake of righteousness, but betrayal.
Guilt engulfed him like a flood that broke a dam.
"Bai Lu, although you were in the wrong back then, do you still want to continue being in the wrong?"
She shouted angrily, like a blow to the head.
Bai Lu suddenly came to his senses. However, his eyes were filled with deep pain and regret.
"You're right. I was wrong, and I will bear my mistakes."
Xun Ziyang gritted his teeth in anger when he saw the situation turning around.
"Can you bear the consequences? Think about it, if this matter is exposed, will there still be a place for you in the guard camp? You're just an unimportant branch of the Bai family, you're destroying your own future! "
Xun Ziyang's voice was shrill, and it hurt Lin Mengya's eardrums.
Lin Mengya's attention had not left what was happening outside. She heard faint footsteps coming from the courtyard.
She could not help but heave a sigh of relief when she found out that it was Long Tianhao using the radar.
Just as she had expected, Yu was also observing the situation. Their quarrel must have caused him to be suspicious.
"This is the price I should pay. When this matter is over, I will personally go to the temple to burn incense and make offerings for him. I will pray that he will have a good life in his next life."
Bai Lu seemed to have thought it through and finally made up his mind.
Lin Mengya did not dare to let her guard down. After all, in this day and age, there were too many people who said one thing and did another.
When Xun Ziyang heard this, he glared at Bai Lu angrily.
"I knew that in your heart, he was still your brother. But what's the use of that? After all, you're the murderer who killed your brother! "
"Shut up! Xun Ziyang, surrender yourself! "
Bai Lu forced himself to calm down and berated him.
But Xun Ziyang was not willing to surrender. He took a few deep breaths and a strange and sick smile appeared on his face.
"No, I'm not the one who should surrender. Oh, yes, it should be Senior Captain Bai who found the real murderer and arrested him. The two of them fought and perished together. As for me, I was knocked unconscious when I was trying to help. "
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Be careful!"
Lin Mengya had already sensed his movements and pushed Bai Lu away.
At this moment, Xun Ziyang took out a hidden weapon the size of a palm and shot it at Bai Lu without hesitation.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh." Lin Mengya turned around and found that there was a circle of steel needles on the wall, which were as hard as cow's hair.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
Xun Ziyang's face darkened when his sneak attack failed, but he did not want to continue fighting.
Anyway, as long as he left this courtyard, they would not dare to touch him again.
As for Song Xing's matter, he could always push the blame to someone else.
He wanted to leave, but before he could leave the room, he flew in.
Then, Long Tianhao's imposing figure appeared in front of the three of them.
"You …"
Xun Ziyang's eyes widened, but because of his surging qi and blood, he could not complete a sentence.
Long Tianhao did not even look at him, stepped into the room and hugged his wife who was lying on the ground.
"I'm fine, I just tripped."
She rubbed her elbow and motioned for Long Tianhao to put her down.
But in Bai Lu's eyes, the atmosphere between the two of them was very strange.
How should he put it? Although it was the relationship between master and servant, and Doctor Su was already old, Gu Xijiu didn't mind it at all.
But he felt that Brother Long was not hugging his master, but his wife?!
Suddenly, Bai Lu's expression became even more strange.
What was he thinking? Could it be that he had lost his mind?
Long Tianhao did not care what others thought. After making sure that his wife was safe, he put her down.
Lin Mengya did not see Bai Lu's expression. Even if she saw it, she would not care.
"If you have anything to say, go to the guards' prison and say it. Don't think of using others as scapegoats for the murder! "
Long Tianhao's kick just now had already made Xun Ziyang lose all his fighting strength.
Now, he was just a weak chicken.
Bai Lu nodded at the two of them. Then, like carrying a little chick, he carried them out of the room.
Although the real murderer had been found, last night's matter was not over yet.
Song Xing was an old man in the mansion, and judging from his previous behavior, he might be jackals of the same tribe as Xun Ziyang.
What kind of conflict was it that made Xun Ziyang kill him?
Could it be related to Teacher Xun Yang's matter?
She followed Yu out of the courtyard.
Following that, Bai Lu handled the matter appropriately.
He announced in public that Xun Ziyang was the real murderer of Song Xing, and now, he would bring him back for trial.
As for the matters in the mansion, he first entrusted it to one of Teacher Xun Yang's more famous disciples. Then, he sent someone to report to the Bai family.
Half an hour after he left, the Bai family sent someone over.
To Lin Mengya's surprise, the person who came was Bai Shi 'an, who did not care about anything.
When Bai Shi 'an came, he gathered everyone in the courtyard, including Teacher Yang.
Standing in the crowd, they exchanged a glance with Bai Shi 'an.
The latter showed a look of admiration for Teacher Yang, but did not reveal any dissatisfaction.
Under the narration of the crowd, Bai Shi 'an understood the situation at that time.
Then, he called Lin Mengya, the person in question, to him.
"Doctor Su, I heard that you were the one who searched inside with them. Did you find any useful information?"
She lowered her head and pretended to be a little distant.
"In reply to Third Master's question, at that time, Captain Bai found a mark that the murderer used to commit the crime. Xun Ziyang became anxious and tried to coerce and bribe Captain Bai to join him in his evil deeds. Fortunately, Captain Bai stood firm and did not be bewitched. "
To tell the truth, she somewhat admired Bai Lu.
The more someone cared about their reputation, the more they would do things that went against their conscience for the sake of their so-called reputation.
She believed that at that time, Bai Lu was also conflicted. Fortunately, in the end, he chose to stick to his bottom line.
This kind of person should not lose a great opportunity because of a momentary mistake.
Bai Shi 'an nodded. According to seniority, Bai Shi' an could be considered his younger brother.
He also had some understanding of this younger brother of his.
Hearing what they said, he also felt that this person could be cultivated.
"En, it's been hard on you."
Lin Mengya repeatedly said that she did not dare and returned to the crowd.
Bai Shi 'an did not do anything special, but told the newly appointed disciple that if he encountered any problems that he could not solve, he could come to the Bai residence to ask for help.
After that, he specially reminded the disciple that although the real murderer had been caught, Teacher Xun Yang's safety must be guaranteed. Therefore, he left a team of guards from the Bai family to protect the people in the residence.
The servants did not care, and because of this, they felt a sense of security.
But what they did not know was that because of this accident, they were caught off guard and disrupted some people's arrangements.
