Chapter 915: What are you Acting Scared for? Hmm?
“...”
Yin Lei’s face started to lose composure. He couldn’t help but glare at Xia Houshang.
Xia Houshang cursed. She never should’ve let these commoners inside!
“Even if I wronged her first, she had no right to kill my father! What crimes did my father commit?!”
“Also, don’t forget that my family is in control of the entire nation’s weaponry. Everything we do, we do it for you!”
“Third young master Jun never lost his innocence. My father was the one who was killed out of the blue in his own home. The person who committed the crime is still out there free. Isn’t it obvious who suffered here?!”
“For her own selfish fury, Qiao Qing murdered the protective guardian of this country. She caused chaos and cast shadows on the citizens of this country. Shouldn’t she be incriminated and punished for this?!”
Her statement successfully downplayed her fault and enlarged Qiao Qing’s crimes. At the same time, she brought up her family’s status in this country.
The citizens, who were worried about their own self-interests, shut up.
No matter who was right or wrong here, Duke Xia still died. Now, their only option was to rely on Xia Houshang for national security.
Jun Yexuan spoke up, “Do you not understand this language or are you just forgetful? You talk so much yet you still have not provided any proof that Qiao Qing killed your father. Why do you keep on dragging her into this?”
Xia Houshang shouted, “I may not have evidence, but you cannot deny that she’s the number one suspect! Shouldn’t suspects be detained and questioned?!”
The crowd nodded upon hearing her words. Though there was no evidence, Xia Houshang’s analysis remained valid. Qiao Qing was the number one suspect.
Xia Houshang smiled in satisfaction, “Take her away!”
Jun Yexuan, “I sure want to see who dares to do that!”
The guards stopped moving.
The way Jun Yexuan protected Qiao Qing made Xia Houshang spew fire, “Who do you guys work for?! Take her!”
Just then, Qiao Qing, who hadn’t said a word, finally broke her silence, “Why do you want me captured? To question me and determine if I’m the murderer?”
This confused Xia Houshang. She frowned, “No sh!t!”
Qiao Qing nodded, “There’s no need to question me. I know who the killer is.”
Her words made Xia Houshang’s brows tremble. The guards once again froze in place and stared.
Xia Houshang had a bad feeling given how calm Qiao Qing was. She shouted in worry, “You can talk in the detention room! Take her away!”
Qiao Qing took out a few tiny needles and flung them towards the guards. The guards felt their knees go weak as they collapsed in agony.
Qiao Qing stepped forward and stared at Xia Houshang, “I said I can tell you who the killer is. What are you acting scared for? Hmm?”
The look in Qiao Qing’s eyes made Xia Houshang shudder. Goosebumps started to show on her skin.
She forced herself to be calm, “What do you mean, scared? Why would I be scared? The only thing I’m unsure of is what kind of stuff you’re capable of making up!”
“Make stuff up?” Qiao Qing reacted like she’s heard a joke, “You think I speak empty words like you?”
She looked towards the Xia family’s guards, “If you want to find out how your Duke died, then open the casket and perform an autopsy.”
Her words generated another round of clamor.
Xia Houshang jumped up as if she’d gone crazy. While trying to hit Qiao Qing, she screamed, “What’s the meaning of this?! My father is dead! You’re going to disturb him even in his death?!”
