After questioning Xiaohong and Cuicui,
Gu Ya turned to the Magistrate, "Sir, not only did Fan Wu and Liu Kui live in the Xingyu Winery, but the Xingyu Winery also paid to have Xiaohong and Cuicui from the Yixiang Garden come to serve them. It is clear that the Xingyu Winery has a close relationship with Fan Wu, yet Shopkeeper Sheng just denied any connection to Fan Wu, which can only mean that Shopkeeper Sheng has a guilty conscience!"
If Shopkeeper Sheng were not guilty,
he would have had no need to deny it.
Only those with something to hide would try so hard to cover it up.
The Magistrate looked towards Shopkeeper Sheng.
With a wave of his hand,
he signaled the government officer to remove the cloth from Shopkeeper Sheng's mouth.
"Shopkeeper Sheng, what explanation do you have now? Do you truly not know Fan Wu?" the Magistrate asked sternly with a dark expression. Shopkeeper Sheng instinctively tried to object.
