Chapter 271 Goodwill and Malice

After Jiang Xiumin finished telling her everything, Ye Shaohong did not speak immediately, but frowned and fell into deep thought.

He wondered if Jiang Xiumin's words were credible.

After all, these two things seem too coincidental, even though there is a time gap of more than two months between them.

However, the fact that both events were focused on Jiang Xiumin alone still seemed a bit too abrupt.

That's what he said, but Ye Shaohong really couldn't find a reason to refute it.

While Jiang Xiumin was responding, Ye Shaohong was also secretly observing the changes in Jiang Xiumin's expression. He could confirm that Jiang Xiumin was not lying.

When recounting the first incident, because it had been so long, about two months, Jiang Xiumin spoke very slowly.

Occasionally, you need to stop and reflect carefully.

This must be an attempt to unearth memories.

When she got to the second incident, which was about Aunt Zhou hiding a murder weapon, Jiang Xiumin's tone returned to normal.

After all, it just happened this morning.

Jiang Xiumin didn't need to recall or think at all; she could recount it smoothly, which made it even more believable.

Most importantly, Jiang Xiumin has a timid and cowardly personality.

And there's the reason she panicked.

She probably wasn't lying.

However, Ye Shaohong would not make a decision easily. He planned to continue to inquire about the remaining women in the Sun family in the usual way.

At the same time, he also wanted to ask other people for their opinions on Jiang Xiumin.

Is the personality she just displayed the same as her usual behavior?

Ye Shaohong's fleeting thoughts did not show on his face. After a brief moment of contemplation, he raised his head again.

A smile appeared on his face.

"very good."

"Miss Jiang, you have not disappointed me."

“I will keep my promise. All the valuables on this table now belong to you.”

As he spoke, Ye Shaohong stepped aside, revealing the table full of valuables to Jiang Xiumin.

"Really...really, you'll give it all to me?"

Ye Shaohong nodded.

"Thank you... thank you, you're such a kind person."

"With this money, my younger brother can get married, we can build a new house, buy two pigs, and raise some chickens and ducks. We can live a good life."

"Thank you!"

Jiang Xiumin couldn't hold back and covered her mouth with her hand, bursting into tears.

"Miss Jiang, listen to my advice, you mustn't cry!"

“If you really cry, then after you go out, the things you said in the room might be discovered by others.”

"Then this money... is very likely not yours anymore."

Ye Shaohong hesitated for a moment, but in the end he couldn't help but kindly remind Jiang Xiumin.

"what?"

"Yes, yes, I know, I can't cry!"

Jiang Xiumin covered her mouth tightly, and gradually, she finally controlled her emotions. Then, she cautiously looked at Ye Shaohong.

Ye Shaohong smiled and turned to look at Yu Manli. Yu Manli stepped forward, sorted out the valuables on the table, and then asked Zhuang Yifan for his wallet, putting all the valuables inside.

Then he raised his hand and handed it to Jiang Xiumin.

Throughout the process, Jiang Xiumin kept a close eye on things, afraid of missing out on even a single penny.

Jiang Xiumin only felt relieved after Yu Manli handed her the wallet, and then carefully put the wallet into her sleeve.

Then she looked up and gazed at Ye Shaohong.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"As long as you don't tell anyone, only the four of us know what happened in this room today."

"Yifan, you should see her out."

Zhuang Yifan nodded, stepped forward, grabbed Jiang Xiumin's arm, and pulled her out of the room. "Yifan, he's still too kind-hearted."

"He was afraid that if others knew what happened in the room, it would harm the young girl, which is why he was so domineering and forceful as to grab Miss Jiang's arm."

"If she goes out looking like this and the women of the Sun family in the front yard see her, they won't suspect her."

Ye Shaohong shook his head. Before Captain Zhu outside the door could call the newcomers in, he pondered once again what Jiang Xiumin had just said.

"barber?"

"This is really a good profession. In my previous life on Earth, hairdressers could easily seduce women."

"Many people who work as hairdressers for a year or two can easily capture the hearts of a dozen or so women and possess the bodies of many women."

"I never imagined that it would be the same during the Republic of China era!"

After a sigh, Ye Shaohong began to ponder the matter of Aunt Zhou concealing a murder weapon. This was something that could be easily investigated.

After questioning all the women in the Sun family, Ye Shaohong can take his men to the back garden. As long as Jiang Xiumin isn't lying, the hidden murder weapon should be found.

As for whether the murderer is Aunt Zhou, it's not hard to tell.

After Aunt Zhou came in and was questioned, Yu Manli was asked to examine her body. If Aunt Zhou had any marks left by the old housekeeper's fingernails, combined with Jiang Xiumin's accusations and the murder weapon found, Aunt Zhou would probably confess.

With these matters on his mind, Ye Shaohong did not neglect the Sun family women who entered the room afterward.

As before, he repeatedly asked the women about their opinions on the third concubine and the old housekeeper. However, during the questioning, he also asked these women a number of other questions.

For example, his opinion on a certain maid, his opinion on a certain cook, and so on. Amidst a barrage of questions, he also inquired about everyone's opinions of Jiang Xiumin, as well as her past temperament and character.

The response I received was quite good.

Although it differed slightly from Ye Shaohong's guess, the difference was not significant.

Relatively speaking, Jiang Xiumin is a kind and sensible girl, as well as a good daughter who is filial to her parents and takes care of her family.

This gave Ye Shaohong more confidence in the testimony she provided.

Before they knew it, the women of the Sun family had almost finished their questioning. With Captain Zhu's shouts from outside the door, a woman who was no more than 1.6 meters tall and looked quite robust walked into the room.

"name!"

"What position did you hold within the Sun family?"

Ye Shaohong raised his head, glanced at the woman who entered, and asked indifferently, "Zhou Cuirou."

"I am the head of the kitchen in the Sun family mansion."

Unlike the people who had been questioned before, the woman named Zhou Cuirou showed no worry or fear on her face when Ye Shaohong questioned her.

She readily stated her name and position.

At the same time, his eyes were also darting around, staring furtively at the Browning M1910 pistol that Ye Shaohong had placed on the table.

There seemed to be a hint of curiosity in his eyes...
