"We wanted to help you, but you did arrive at the scene of the crime at a sensitive time. This is really …" Tan Siwei shook his head slightly and sighed in a low voice. He really didn't want to say the word 'difficult' to provoke him. Tan Siwei thought for a moment and said, "Unless you can think of a way to prove your innocence."
Zhou Xiang's tall body tensed up, and an unbearable amount of grief spread across his face.
"There is another way, and that is to find the murderer as soon as possible." Ning Shu's calm voice pulled Zhou Yang out of the abyss of despair. "From now on, you have to promise that there is no lie in every word you say. If you can't do it, then don't blame us for not helping you."
Zhou Yang nodded repeatedly. "Okay! I swear! I won't hide anything from you. If I can't do it, then let me die here. "
Ning Shu began to ask questions. "When did you enter Xunfang Terrace, and when did you leave? From the time you entered to the time you left, what did you do? Who did you see? Tell me everything. "
"Our shop has always had a rule of closing at midnight, and that day was no exception. After that, I spent about fifteen minutes preparing. When no one was around, I rowed a small boat from the Chaobai River to the entrance of the secret passage, and went upstairs using the wooden ladder. I was afraid that someone would pass by and see me, so I leaned against the door and listened for a long time. When I didn't hear anything, I dared to open the secret passage door and go out. At that time, I estimated that it should be a quarter past one. At that time, almost everyone on the third floor was asleep. Only the room on the east side had some … movements. It was very intense. But from the sounds, it didn't seem to be that bastard's. So I went to the other rooms and blew sleeping incense into them. I quietly went in to take a look and found Miss Susu sleeping alone. Her maid was sleeping on the couch next to her. I was very puzzled and looked around everywhere, but I couldn't find him. I could only go to the terrace. I didn't expect him to be there, but he was lying on his back, dead. I was scared out of my wits and quickly ran away. Because I fell into the river and was tossed around for a long time, it was almost three o 'clock when I came ashore. "
Ning Shu memorized the time points in her heart. "From the beginning to the end, you didn't find a single suspicious person or thing?"
Zhou Xiang wiped his face in disgust. "No … Although I went with the intention of perishing together with them, I have never killed anyone before. So, from the beginning to the end, I was on tenterhooks and didn't dare to light a lamp when it was dark. I only dared to blow a match. I didn't notice anything unusual …"
"Then why did you stand on the back of the wooden ladder before going upstairs through the secret passage?"
Now it was Zhou Yang's turn to be stunned. "What back of the wooden ladder? I didn't. If there was someone walking in the secret passage, there would be a light and there would be footsteps. When I didn't see anything, I went straight up. "
"No?" Ning Shu frowned suspiciously and took out something from the oiled paper bag. "Is this blue cloth from your clothes?"
Zhou Yao looked at it carefully. "I was wearing an old blue shirt that day. I was afraid that it would be stained with blood. After I got home, I quickly changed it and threw it into the pigsty. As for whether or not it was accidentally torn, I really didn't notice."
Pigsty? The corner of Hui Mo's mouth twitched. That was really a good place.
Ning Shu suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, my shopkeeper said that when you came back from the Fragrant Terrace for the first time, you fell down with mud all over your face. What happened?"
"At that time, after I sneaked into the secret passage and unlocked the door, I ran up as fast as I could and pretended that nothing happened. I didn't dare to lean on the side of the road until I was far away from the gate. That day, there were two showers in a row during the day, so there was a big muddy pond on the ground. I was going to take a detour, but I didn't expect that a person suddenly jumped out from the side and bumped into me, so I fell into the muddy pond. The person was not tall and was very agile. When I looked back, he was already gone. "
