Such shameless words attracted the attention of the other bailiffs. No one would have thought that the generous and kind Tan Shaoqing, who was always smiling like a Buddha, was actually such a despicable person.
Only Ning Shu still maintained that calm and composed expression, "Then Xue Ran, how did you find his tracks, and why did he help you set up the trap?"
Tan Siwei shook his head. "I didn't find him. He approached me. I don't know how he found out that I had fallen out with the envoy. He approached me several times and fanned the flames. Of course, I wanted to kill him, so I didn't need him to do anything. So the two of us, one wolf and the other wolf, each with their own thoughts, became a perfect partner. Together, we did this big case that shocked Jiuzhou. "
No matter how bright the sun was outside, it couldn't shine into the Supreme Court's dungeon. After years of immersion in this darkness, the surroundings were filled with a bone-chilling cold. Looking at Tan Siwei who sat on the ground expressionlessly, Ning Shu didn't know why but she had an inexplicable feeling in her heart. Tan Siwei had clearly matched every detail of the case, but her intuition told her that the truth was not so simple. Tan Siwei was still hiding something from her. There must be more!
She said, "Shaoqing always says that you're not an official material, but I think you're too modest. Shaoqing's logic is tight and his thinking is better than others. Every piece of evidence is tightly connected and no one can find a flaw. Besides you, there's no other suitable candidate for the position of Supreme Court Shaoqing. There's only one thing — in the hut, in order to save the servant's life, you ordered him to leave quickly, but you stayed behind to face me and Prince Xiahou. This doesn't make sense. Is that servant's life more important than Shaoqing's own? "
Tan Siwei said, "That servant and I have been friends since childhood. At that time, I also wanted to leave, but I was too weak and didn't have time. I had already chosen a broken vase to knock you out, but when I saw how weak half of your body was, my indecisiveness acted up again. In the blink of an eye, you saw through my disguise no matter how much I wanted to hide. If I was given another chance, I might not be so soft-hearted. "
Ning Shu chuckled softly. "In that case, I have to thank Shaoqing for sparing my life."
"You're welcome."
Coming out of the prison, Ning Shu's expression was unusually solemn, as if she had encountered an even bigger problem. Deputy Qiu, who she had arranged to interrogate Bai Susu alone, also came out.
Ning Shu asked, "What did Bai Susu say?"
"She changed her statement," Minister Qiu said. "Previously, Minister Tan promised her that he wouldn't implicate her. But now that Minister Tan can't even protect himself, Bai Susu confessed everything after losing her backer. According to her, everything she did was because Tan Shaoqing threatened her. Tan Shaoqing was also the one who killed her. At most, she can only be considered an accomplice. "
"Thank you, Sir. Thank you for your hard work." After sending Minister Qiu away, Ning Shu's eyes flashed with a faint light. She ordered someone to bring Forsythia out of the prison for 'interrogation'.
Lian Qiao blinked and said seriously, "Miss, after I listened to your orders and joined them, I've been sticking to Bai Susu all the time like a piece of plaster. I can guarantee with my eyes that ever since she was sent to prison, Tan Shaoqing has never come to see her alone, not even once. Absolutely not."
"In the past two days, did anyone interrogate Bai Susu, or did anyone pass her anything? Did you notice anything?"
Forsythia's head was like a rattle drum. "No. It was peaceful these two days. Even when the guards came to deliver the food, I was the first to rush over to check it secretly. Then, I distributed it to the others. I really didn't notice anything wrong."
Ning Shu's eyes flashed with a long thought. Could it be that Bai Susu was telling the truth this time? Was the murderer really Tan Shaoqing?
