Chapter 9 Questioning
Su Liuyue smiled faintly, looking through the veil at the face in front of her that couldn't hide its surprise, and said, "How did I find out? It won't be too late to tell you later, but if Lu Shaoyin really takes Manager Yuan back to Jingzhao Prefecture, there may be no room for turning back."

Lu Shaoyin's face changed slightly. Thinking of that man's terrifying momentum and powerful methods, he felt that the black hat on his head was about to fall off.

Su Liuyue took in all the subtle changes on his face, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said calmly: "Although I am not talented, I have some insights into this case. I wonder if Lu Shaoyin is willing to take the time to listen to them?"

Lu Shaoyin suddenly came back to his senses and looked at her with suspicion. The onlookers also stared at Su Liuyue unconsciously. The alley, which was originally extremely noisy, was strangely so noisy that you could hear a pin drop.

Finally, Lu Shaoyin gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll listen to what you have to say! If you are teasing me, I will arrest you and Manager Yuan!"

Ersi and Eran's faces turned pale immediately and they looked at their daughter anxiously.

However, the girl didn't even look at them, she chuckled and said, "It's not a great insight, please allow Lu Shaoyin to have a word with me."

Su Liuyue and Lu Shaoyin walked to the corner under the extremely curious eyes of the people.

Shopkeeper Cao, who had been distraught since arriving here, suddenly seemed to come to his senses. He turned his head abruptly, stared at Shopkeeper Yuan with bloodshot eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Shopkeeper Yuan, for so many years, my Qiluzhai has always been next door to your Man Yifang, and we have always been mutually beneficial. When your Man Yifang's chef retired and the business plummeted, I... I even mobilized my friends around to help you. Is this how you repay me?!"

Shopkeeper Yuan was startled, and shook his head in panic, saying, "Shopkeeper Cao, your wife and I are innocent, and I have never killed her. Please believe me..."

"With so much evidence before our eyes, if you didn't kill my wife, who else could have done it?"

Shopkeeper Cao suddenly roared, and the veins on his forehead bulged out of the man who looked gentle and polite. He was about to pounce on Shopkeeper Yuan. The yamen runners at the side hurriedly held him back, but no one expected that this man was quite strong, and one yamen runner could hardly hold him back. In the end, it took two yamen runners working together to subdue him.

The onlookers were all stunned. Zheng Yaozu couldn't help but whispered, "The shopkeeper is usually very polite and elegant. I... This is the first time I've seen the shopkeeper so excited..."

Liu Ergui, who was standing next to him, curled his lips and said, "Any man would not be able to remain calm when faced with such a thing, not to mention that the shopkeeper and his wife have always had a good relationship.

Come to think of it, I didn't expect Madam to do something like...stealing someone. How is our shopkeeper not as good as that shopkeeper Yuan? He is more handsome, gentler and more knowledgeable than him. Madam must be blind to fall for such a man!"

Although a girl suddenly came out and said that the murderer was not Manager Yuan, they had the same idea as their own manager. Who else could the murderer be if not him?
After all, all these clues point to him!

Miss Sun was standing next to the two of them. She looked like she had never experienced such a situation before and her face was extremely pale.

"Oh? You're just a clerk in their store. How would you know that they have always had a good relationship?"

A light and pleasant female voice suddenly sounded behind Liu Ergui and Zheng Yaozu. It seemed as if the voice was coming from behind their necks.

Zheng Yaozu and Liu Ergui were startled and subconsciously took a big step forward. When they turned around, they saw that the person who spoke was the mysterious girl with the veil!

When did this girl come behind them? !
Moreover, judging from the sound of her voice just now, she was clearly very close to them!
The two men still had expressions of shock on their faces, and for a long while, they just stared at the woman in front of them in shock.

Su Liuyue raised the corner of her mouth slightly, but she didn't really ask them to answer. She said calmly: "You don't have to be so frightened. I came here just to ask you a few questions."

Zheng Yaozu and Liu Ergui looked at her in surprise and suspicion.

Is this girl teasing them on purpose?! How can someone ask questions like this, sticking behind someone and asking them!

Su Liuyue seemed not to notice their expressions and said, "First question, you all work at Qilu Zhai, so what is your relationship with Manager Cao?" Zheng Yaozu, Liu Ergui and Miss Sun couldn't help but look at each other. Although they had no idea why this girl asked this, seeing that Lu Shaoyin beside her didn't say anything, they didn't dare to question it.

Finally, it was Liu Ergui who stood up and said, "Among the three of us... I have worked in Qiluzhai the longest, so I am the most familiar with Manager Cao. Whenever Manager Cao has something to do, he will give it to me first.

A'zu came here to work about two years ago. He can read a little, and most importantly, he is tall and strong. Manager Cao thinks highly of him, and most of the moving and lifting work in the study is given to A'zu.

Miss Sun is the last one to come here among the three of us. She has been here for about half a year. She knows the most characters among the three of us. Manager Cao usually lets her take charge of the clerical work in the study."

When he spoke, Zheng Yaozu, Miss Sun and Manager Cao who was not far away did not say anything, which shows that he was telling the truth.

Su Liuyue nodded, and suddenly looked at Miss Sun and said, "So, among the three of you, the one who is least familiar with Manager Cao should be Miss Sun."

Liu Ergui was slightly stunned, nodded and said honestly: "Yes, isn't this normal? Miss Sun was the last one to arrive, and she is a woman. Let alone Manager Cao, even we are not very familiar with Miss Sun. We just say a few words to her when we are doing things on weekdays."

Su Liuyue glanced at Miss Sun, who had remained silent and seemed to agree, and said with a smile, "I understand. One last question. Are you sure that your wife only came to the study once today?"

Su Liuyue's last sentence was spoken softly and slowly, revealing an indescribable solemnity and weirdness.

Zheng Yaozu and Liu Ergui were stunned. Just as they were about to nod, they suddenly seemed to think of something and a hint of hesitation appeared on their faces.

Seeing this, Lu Shaoyin beside Su Liuyue couldn't help but yelled, "You are deliberately hiding something!"

Deliberate concealment is a serious crime!

Zheng Yaozu and Liu Ergui were so frightened that they waved their hands in panic, stammering, "It's unfair! I... I dare not hide anything! It's just... I suddenly remembered that after Madam left, I and Grandpa sent a batch of new books and inkstones to Yangzheng Academy. During that time, I didn't know who came to the study!"

"Yes, yes, just like Ergui said, how dare we hide it!"

Lu Shaoyin's face darkened.

They didn't mention this matter just now!

He asked solemnly, "Just now, Zheng Yaozu and Sun also went to Yangzheng Academy to deliver goods. Do you have to make two trips to deliver goods?!"

Liu Ergui said quickly, "Lu Shaoyin, you don't know that Yangzheng Academy often orders books and pens, inkstones, and inkstones in bulk from us. Each time, the goods they want are large and heavy, and it is difficult to deliver them all at once. I... the first batch that I and A-Zu sent over were all heavy books and inkstones. Because the second batch of goods was lighter, I asked A-Zu and Miss Sun to go...

Not long after that, I heard screams from passers-by outside. When I went out, I saw Madam and Manager Yuan lying in the alley..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Shaoyin turned his head and glared at Miss Sun, saying sternly: "So, there was a period of time when you were the only one in the study. Tell me, did you see the deceased again during that period?!"

Miss Sun seemed to be frightened. She took a step back with a pale face and stammered, "My lady...my lady..."

"Say!"
