With one hand she heals, and the other hand she kills, the princess vows to rule the world!

"Your Excellency, I wasn't sure at first." The woman moved closer to Shu He and pointed at her hands. "But I just carefully observed her hands and her face, and now I can be sure."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Zhiyi also asked.

"Well, that old woman Chen's family weren't good people. They treated their servants with either beatings or scolding, and forced them to work non-stop. So, because of years of abuse, the slave girl in Old Woman Chen's family had sores all over her hands, and her face was cracked and red."

"But I looked at this lady's hands. Although they also had some frostbite, the injury was much better than that of the slave girl. There's no comparison at all!"

"Also, look at this lady's complexion. It looks very rosy and fair. This is simply not the skin condition of a slave who has been abused for years!"

Seeing that Qin Yian's expression relaxed and his eyes were fixed on Shu He, the old lady continued speaking.

"You haven't seen that slave girl. She was in such a miserable state! That old lady Chen and her family are not human beings. They tortured her to death! They didn't even give her a meal. They beat and scolded her at every turn, and even didn't spare the child! That child was only two or three years old. Old lady Chen kicked the child away with one kick. The child, who was originally crying, was silent in an instant. I don't know if he can survive..."

Baili Moqing sat in a wheelchair, listening quietly. His eyes seemed to have two bottomless black whirlpools, spinning continuously, as if to suck in everything around them and crush them into pieces!

Did that child live that kind of life before?

No wonder his body is devoid of flesh and blood...

"That's enough!" Shen San interrupted her rudely.

He wasn't here to listen to her nonsense, he just wanted to get the answer he wanted.

"Let me ask you again, are you really sure that this woman is not the murderer?"

The old lady was about to answer, but Shen San threatened again, "Think it over carefully. If you ask us to find evidence, it will be considered deceiving the government and you will go to jail for life!!"

"Detective Shen!" Zhang Zhiyi saw that the woman was frightened and showed some hesitation on her face. He immediately said, "This general is still here. Are you going to intimidate and coerce the witness?"

Qin Yian glared at Shen San. His performance today really disappointed him. For the sake of merit, he had no scruples at all and really thought he could go to Kyoto to take up a position!

Naive! Even if this case is really solved, they won't get the promotion and wealth! After so many years in the officialdom, don't they have this understanding?

"Shen San, step back!"

"Boss!" Shen San was unwilling to give up. How could he let the duck fly away like this?

"Back off!!"

Qin Yian spoke again, his face darkening.

Shen San's face was ashen as death, and he glared fiercely at the three "witnesses". He had thought these three people could help him rise to prominence, but unexpectedly, they became the ones who pushed him into the abyss...

"Auntie, I apologize for my subordinates' attitude just now. Please answer truthfully again. Is this woman in front of you really not the Western Suburbs murderer?"

The old lady glanced at Zhang Zhiyi, then at Shen San, and finally at Shu He, then nodded, "I confirm!"

"I've seen that slave girl up close. She was skinny, with only a skeleton left on her body. Her eyes were small and thin. She wasn't as plump and beautiful as this lady at all. Her other facial features were also very different. You could say they weren't even the same person!"

Seeing this, the other two ladies also agreed.

"Now that Sister Zhang mentioned that, I think so. That Chen family never gave their servants enough to eat, and they forced them to work like crazy. That slave girl was so skinny that she was just a skeleton, and her face looked like rotten cabbage every day. But look at this woman, although she's thin, her body is clearly very strong, not weak at all, and her face is rosy and beautiful. There's no way she could be a slave girl from Chen's family!"

"Yes, yes, I just didn't dare to recognize you because the image was so different."

After the ladies finished speaking, Zhang Zhirou was completely confident. She walked up to Qin Yian and said condescendingly, "Captain Qin, do you have anything else to say this time?"

Qin Yian looked at her for just a moment and then looked away.

Now, he really had nothing to say, and could only say that coincidences might really exist in this world...

Shen San wanted to make a final desperate struggle. He pulled Qin Yian's arm and said, "Boss, don't we still have children? Why not..."

"Shut up!" Qin Yian shouted at Shen San before he could finish his words.

Isn’t this farce enough of a joke for people to watch?

Zhang Zhiyi's patience had completely worn out. He said to Qin Yian, "Captain Qin, I've tolerated your actions several times because you're dedicated to the public good. But if you're determined to frame others and use them as scapegoats just to claim credit, then I have no choice but to go to Chief Secretary Liu and have a serious conversation about your agency's methods of handling cases!"

Qin Yian knew that this was a warning, a threat, and an ultimatum. He had lost this time, and lost miserably!

"I'm sorry, General Zhang. We are the ones who have offended you!"

"I am dedicated to serving the public, and I hope you will forgive me if I have offended you." Qin Yian bowed to Baili Moqing and Nanqi in the study, and then bowed to Shu He. "Madam He, I am very sorry that I almost made you suffer an unjust accusation, but I also did this to solve the case. I hope you will understand."

Shu He nodded, accepting his apology.

Her face was very calm, not as timid and submissive as other servants. But even if Qin Yian had much suspicion about her at this moment, he could only put it aside for the time being.

"General Zhang, although the matter of Madam He has been resolved, the matter of the bandits in your mansion..."

"Since they are bandits, then they are the business of our defense army. Captain Qin, please don't worry about it. I will handle this matter myself!"

Zhang Zhiyi was so majestic that he didn't even glance at Qin Yian. This attitude could be said to be very contemptuous.

Qin Yian concealed his embarrassment and said respectfully, "Then I'll take my leave."

Qin Yian left, and Shen San gave Shu He a fierce look before leaving as well. The people he brought with him also left dejectedly.

Among them, the lady who helped Shu He to exonerate herself glanced at Shu He before leaving, and Shu He happened to be looking at her.

There was some gratitude in her eyes. The old lady received it, nodded slightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Then she walked away with a relieved look on her face.

Although she knew that murder was a serious crime, she had long since grown tired of the behavior of Mrs. Chen's family! They treated people like humans, and every time she passed by the Chen family's backyard, she could hear sounds of beatings and begging for mercy. Every time she passed by, she could hear the helpless, panicked cries of babies. The sounds were so miserable and heartbreaking that passersby couldn't bear it, yet they were helpless!

But that family is so heartless that they could even harm such a young child!

People like that should have died long ago!

She was actually very happy when Shu He killed Mrs. Chen's family, otherwise she wouldn't have advised her to run away!

I thought she was going to die with Mrs. Chen's family, but I didn't expect that she could actually kill the men in Mrs. Chen's family! And there were several strong men in the village. It was really unimaginable!

Even if a man of normal physique were to do this, he probably wouldn't be able to do it, right?

She didn't even dare to imagine how much it cost that woman to kill everyone!

Before today, she would often think of that woman, and the cold gaze after she killed someone. She also worried about whether she and the child could survive. Seeing her again today, she found that she was doing well. With this, she could finally let go of all these things.

As for that "killing someone means paying with one's life," to hell with it! Aren't there enough powerful people in this world who do such things? Why don't they have to pay with their lives?

Since they don’t have to pay with their lives, then the poor people don’t have to either!
