Chapter 275 Unable to Deny It
Regardless of how many doubts Ye Shaohong had, solving the case was always a good thing.
What's more, he had a half-hour appointment with the old lady.
More than twenty minutes have passed now, and the old lady, the eldest daughter-in-law, and several concubines of the Sun family should already be waiting for him in the front hall.
Since the audience was already ready, there was no need for him to wait any longer. He called Zhuang Yifan over, and with him dragging Zhou Cuirou, whose clothes were stained with blood and who was about to faint, they arrived at the front hall of the mansion under the escort of Captain Zhu and several black-skinned policemen with guns.
This time, they had a large group of people, and they caused quite a commotion.
Therefore, when Ye Shaohong and his group arrived at the front hall of the Sun residence, the old lady, the eldest mistress, and several concubines had already received the news in advance.
Upon seeing Ye Shaohong stride in with his men, the eldest grandmother gripped her dragon-headed cane tightly, her eyes immediately fixed on Ye Shaohong.
"Commissioner Ye, is there any result?"
Ye Shaohong chuckled, leading his men forward as he responded.
"We have lived up to your expectations!"
"Zhou Cuirou has confessed!"
As soon as Ye Shaohong finished speaking, he keenly noticed that the eldest grandmother standing next to the old lady turned pale instantly, and her body swayed slightly.
Seeing this, Ye Shaohong became even more confident in his judgment.
"Recruited?"
"Did she tell you why she killed the third concubine and the old housekeeper?"
The old lady's face was somber, and her words carried a chilling undertone. It was clear that she was still furious about Zhou Cuirou's murder.
"Let Zhou Cuirou tell you about this herself."
Ye Shaohong shook his head. He didn't want to waste his breath on these women. With a wave of his hand, Zhuang Yifan dragged the blood-covered Zhou Cuirou into the front hall.
“What did you just confess? Say it again in front of the old lady and the others.”
"Don't try to argue, it won't do you any good!"
Zhuang Yifan pulled hard, and Zhou Cuirou collapsed to the ground, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. She coughed rapidly for a while before slowly raising her head.
"Madam, I..."
"I'm so sorry!" After a sob, Zhou Cuirou stopped hiding anything and told everyone what she had seen and done in the past two days.
As soon as the name Wei Xiuyuan was uttered, the eldest grandmother, who had been standing next to the old lady, immediately jumped out.
"slander!"
“You’re slandering me. You must have known that I was the one who passed the message to the old steward, which is why he went to arrest you. You hold a grudge against me, so you’re trying to frame my brother, Wei Xiuyuan.”
"You vile woman, not only did you kill someone, but you also want to find someone to die with you. How cruel you are!"
Grandma truly loved her younger brother. Even though things had reached an irreversible point, and even though the onlookers had already believed Zhou Cuirou's story, Grandma still wanted to struggle a little.
This is understandable.
After all, it was murder, and the victim was someone from the Sun family, with black-skinned police officers from Hanyang County present.
If she acquiesces and doesn't stand up for Wei Xiuyuan, then even if her brother survives this time, he will probably spend more than ten or even decades in prison.
Young people in their early twenties go in for more than ten years of advanced studies, what can they do after they come out?
Hearing his grandmother's excuses, Ye Shaohong blinked but remained silent.
The old lady of the Sun family frowned, turned to the side and glanced at the eldest daughter-in-law, her expression inexplicably complicated, but she did not stop her.
Only Zhou Cuirou was shocked.
"I slander?"
"Grandma, don't forget, I came to see you last night."
"I told you everything Wei Xiuyuan did." "He even gave me two hundred silver dollars to shut me up. That money is still in my room. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to look for it!"
Zhou Cuirou is not someone to be trifled with. She dared to fight back against Ye Shaohong and Yu Manli's interrogation, even with guns at her side.
What's more, it was her grandmother who so blatantly and unequivocally framed her.
Her words immediately made the old lady sitting in the hall raise her eyebrows.
"Is there such a thing?"
"Qiaoyun, you have to give me an explanation!"
When the old lady spoke, her authority was naturally different, and the eldest mistress's expression changed on the spot.
At the same time, the other concubines also turned their complicated gazes to the eldest mistress, and voices of resentment, sarcasm, ridicule, and disdain rose up.
"Oh dear, Madam, is there any need to explain this? Zhou Cuirou has already made it very clear. The eldest madam just wanted to protect her brother-in-law, so she framed someone else."
"I never would have guessed that you, Madam, would have such audacity. Knowing that your brother killed someone, you still wanted to protect him!"
"Hmph, what is there to be afraid of? The master is gone, and the old lady has always doted on her. She also controls the family's finances. This Sun family is her world."
"Big sister, I've never offended you before, you can't let Wei Xiuyuan harm me!"
The sudden words were like knives, slashing directly at Grandma Wei Qiaoyun, making her face even paler.
"No!"
"Xiu Yuan didn't kill anyone! He didn't!"
Grandma was at her wit's end. The evidence, witnesses, and testimonies were all there, and even if she wanted to argue, she couldn't find a suitable reason.
What's more, there are outsiders like Ye Shaohong and Captain Zhu in this room.
They all have the power to arrest people.
Her attempts to argue were completely ineffective, and in the end she could only struggle helplessly and make a couple more defiant noises.
"Humph!"
"Whether Wei Xiuyuan committed murder or not, we'll find out by arresting him and questioning him."
"Captain Zhu, take your men and arrest Wei Xiuyuan right now. We need to interrogate him on the spot."
"Also, arrange for two people to find the silver dollars and murder weapon that Zhou Cuirou hid and bring them here."
At this point, Ye Shaohong could no longer stand idly by. He raised his head, glanced at the old lady of the Sun family, and seeing that she had no intention of speaking, he stepped forward without hesitation and gave the order.
"Yes, sir!" Captain Zhu saluted Ye Shaohong, turned around and called to his men, then hurriedly ran out.
Upon seeing this, Grandma Wei Qiaoyun collapsed into a chair.
Tears streamed down her face.
"Xiuyuan, my little brother..."
The eldest grandmother cried bitterly, her words filled with sorrow, but no one in the hall paid any attention to her anymore.
Their gazes all fell on Ye Shaohong.
Everyone was astonished that Ye Shaohong had solved two murder cases in the Sun family in just one day.
Combined with Ye Shaohong's handsome appearance, some of the concubines immediately had other ideas...
