Zhou Xiang continued, "I used a little trick and snatched a second chance to enter the Search Fang Station from someone else. It was that time that I saw my enemy up close and overheard that he was going to stay at the Search Fang Station tonight. So, I had a plan in mind. After delivering the roast mutton, I took advantage of the fact that the guards were not paying attention and quietly ran into the secret passage to unlock the door. After that, I pretended that nothing had happened and walked out of the Search Fang Station, continuing to do my job. It wasn't until after midnight that I quietly came to the entrance of the secret passage in a small boat and went upstairs. Then I committed the murder. "
Tan Siwei said thoughtfully, "How did you know that the envoy would come out in the middle of the night? If he didn't come out and stayed in Miss Susu's room, what were you going to do? Weren't you afraid that people would notice you and expose you? "
Zhou Yang said numbly, "I didn't want to leave anyone alive. I prepared a lot of drugs. When the time came, I would blow them all into the room and then kill them all one by one."
Hui Mo, who had been listening carefully, widened his eyes in horror. He felt that this person was crazy, "Miss Susu is so innocent. How could you do this?"
Zhou Yang raised his head and his eyes were bloodshot, "If she didn't buy flowers with E 'er that day and insist that E' er send the flowers to such a messy place, E 'er wouldn't have met that beast and wouldn't have encountered such a thing!"
People who were blinded by anger would also have extreme thoughts. Ning Shu waved her hand and told Hui Mo not to waste time arguing with him. She asked, "What happened after that? Go on."
Zhou Yang said mechanically, "I had prepared the drugs and was about to ignite them. I didn't expect that God would help me. He ran out by himself and got drunk on the balcony. I didn't even notice him when I walked over. Oh, you see, even the King of Hell thought that he deserved to die, so he gave me such a good opportunity. How could I miss it? So I did it. I drugged him first, then took out the knife that I had prepared beforehand and stabbed him again and again. Seeing him widen his eyes in horror, but unable to resist, I don't know how happy I felt in my heart. "
Ning Shu frowned slightly. "Why did you choose that kind of modus operandi?"
"The restaurant has a lot of customers coming in and out every day. There are a lot of drunkards and prostitutes. When I was serving them, I would listen to them chatting. Once, I heard them talking about the murder that Xue Hongyi committed more than twenty years ago. When I decided to take revenge, that old case somehow popped into my mind. I thought: If I could push the blame of the murder onto Xue Hongyi's ghost, then wouldn't I be able to escape unscathed? No one would suspect a restaurant waiter like me. "
Ning Shu's eyes sharpened. "How did you copy the key?"
Zhou Yang said with a stiff face, "I used to be an apprentice in a locksmith shop. These locks are a piece of cake for me."
Tan Siwei immediately waved his hand and ordered someone to investigate and report back. Not long after, they did indeed find the information, proving that what he said was true. The Minister of Supreme Court who was listening at the side immediately said, "Shaoqing, we can now report to His Majesty that the case has been solved!"
This case was like a sword hanging over their heads. Without finding the murderer, everyone was scared witless and couldn't eat or sleep in peace. Now, Zhou Yang took the initiative to stand up and admit his crime. Moreover, the material evidence was here. The motive and the process of the murder were all explained clearly. If it wasn't him, who else could it be? The heavy burden on their shoulders could finally be put down.
However, they heard Ning Shu's clear voice again. "Sir, please wait a moment. There are still a few points of doubt. Please allow me to finish asking."
The Minister of Supreme Court showed a look of objection, but Ning Shu didn't have time to care. She pondered for a moment and said from another angle, "You said that you committed the murder alone. You entered and escaped through the secret passage. Then how did you manage to lock the secret passage from the inside? Do you have a doppelganger technique? "
Zhou Yang's face showed a brief moment of shock, but he quickly calmed down and flatly denied, "I didn't say that I escaped through the secret passage! I … It's like this. I was afraid that others would know how I committed the crime, so I locked the secret passage again after I entered. Then, after killing the envoy, I jumped from the balcony into the Chaobai River. This way, no one would know how I got in and out. It's more like a ghost's work. "
However, that moment of panic didn't escape Ning Shu's eyes. Her gaze became sharper. "The balcony was nearly ten feet above the river. Aren't you afraid of being hit by the water when you jump from that height?"
Zhou Xiang lowered his eyes again and gritted his teeth. "I've been good at swimming since I was a child, so I'm not afraid. Moreover, my fiancée has been humiliated like this, and the neighbors are all talking behind my back. How can I bear it? Now that I have my revenge, even if I jump into the river and die, it's worth it. Let go of E 'er. This matter has nothing to do with her. I did it all alone. "
Ning Shu didn't stop at all. She pressed on step by step. "I'll believe that you're good at swimming. However, you seem to have forgotten one thing. In order to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river, Xunfang Terrace was built on top of a seven-story high platform. The seven steps added together are more than ten feet long. This means that even if you want to jump from the balcony, you won't fall into the water. Instead, you'll fall to your death on the high platform and become a pile of minced meat."
