Instance game: I signed a pact with the gods, and the gods accused me of cheating

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like dropping a heavy bomb on the calm lake.

Countless people looked at each other in bewilderment, and then all their surprised eyes fell on Qin Shang.

It seemed a little unbelievable that the Third Young Master, who had just returned from a long journey, actually had an appointment with Shopkeeper Cui last night.

Recalling the rumors heard by other people, the third young master was not at home last night.

Countless people subconsciously distanced themselves from Qin Shang, with expressions filled with fear and anger.

Xiao Yu, who was standing beside her, was horrified. She had not expected the Second Young Master's wife to do something like this at this moment.

"Second Young Master's wife, what are you talking about? Our young master was with me the whole night."

"He, he can't be the murderer of Shopkeeper Cui, Madam Second Young Master, wasn't Shopkeeper Cui killed by Miss Shen's ghost?"

Hearing this, the Second Young Master's wife sneered;

"With you? What evidence do you have that he was with you?"

"What the second sister-in-law wants to say is that I killed Manager Cui?"

The next moment, Qin Shang did not hesitate to stop Xiao Yu who wanted to continue to explain. Under the girl's suspicious gaze, he took two steps forward;

"I was not at the mansion last night because my second sister-in-law assigned me the task of escorting Miss Shen's spirit tablet back to its place of rest."

"As for Shopkeeper Cui... He did have an appointment with me, but I didn't meet Shopkeeper Cui."

Wow!

As soon as the voice came out, countless people shook their heads in disbelief.

Every time Shopkeeper Cui paid tribute to Shen Xiuxiu, he would leave in a hurry. Only this time, after the third young master came back, did he stay in the Lin family for a little longer.

It was because of this procrastination that he lost his life in Lin's residence.

No one would believe if you said it had nothing to do with the third young master who just returned.

What's more, Qin Shang personally admitted that Manager Cui had an appointment with him last night.

"You said you didn't see it, so you didn't see it?"

"Hmph! Once the coroner arrives and does a quick autopsy, the truth will be revealed."

"If you killed Shopkeeper Cui, we would not cover up for him even if you are the third young master of the Lin family!"

The second young master's wife spoke righteously.

Xiaoyu, who was beside Qin Shang, was so anxious that she almost cried when she heard these words.

I originally thought that the Second Young Master’s wife was just checking if everyone was well, but who knew that she called everyone to the square to track down the murderer?

But the Third Young Master was with me most of the night yesterday, so how could he have the time to commit the crime?

At this moment, Xiaoyu's expression froze.

No, the Third Young Master had also been to the Okra Forest. At that time, he entered the Okra Forest under the pretext of meeting Shopkeeper Cui.

But after the third young master came out, he claimed that he had not seen Manager Cui being stood up, and the matter was left unresolved.

Xiaoyu didn't think much about it.

But considering the public outcry at this moment, Xiaoyu's expression froze.

Could it really be that time...

At this moment, Qin Shang said calmly;

"Okay, the coroner is here. If there is evidence that I am the murderer of Shopkeeper Cui, then I am willing to accept any punishment. But, sister-in-law, I have a question for you. Where were you last night?"

"Have you ever heard the sound of the pipa in the courtyard?"

Wow!

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd once again erupted into a chaotic chattering.

"The sound of the pipa? The sound of the pipa was heard in the house again last night?"

"Oh my god, isn't it said that three days of worship can send the dead soul away? Could it be that Shen Xiuxiu is still entangled with the Lin family?"

"Stop confusing people with the sound of the pipa!"

An unhappy cold shout interrupted the discussion among the crowd, and the second young lady's wife spoke with certainty;

"Do you really think that the Lin family believes that a dead person has the ability to harm others?"

"Besides, the witch told me yesterday that after three days of sacrifice, Shen Xiuxiu has been buried. What's more, I have also found Shen Xiuxiu's pipa."

"If the authorities prove that Shopkeeper Cui's death was also a supernatural event, I will burn this pipa with my own hands today."

"You are the one being condemned now!"

"You should find a way to prove your innocence instead of shifting the blame onto me. I was with your second brother all night yesterday, and the maids could have seen it."

"I never came out of my room after returning to it. I don't need anyone to prove it."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Shang nodded;

"Then I also have the ability to prove that I am not the murderer of Shopkeeper Cui."

"According to my second sister-in-law, Shopkeeper Cui was killed by a single blow, right?"

"What time is it exactly?"

"Who knows? Anyway, at four o'clock in the morning, the body of Shopkeeper Cui was found, so the time of death must be earlier."

Qin Shang laughed out loud;

"Then I am not the murderer. I buried Miss Shen Xiuxiu at the lake island at midnight last night. You can verify this by going to the lake island and checking the spirit tablet."

"And I have evidence in my hands, such as the embroidered shoes that Miss Shen Xiuxiu left on the small white boat. Those who have seen Miss Shen's body should be familiar with this. There was only one embroidered shoe on the body because the other one had fallen on the small boat on the island in the middle of the lake."

"And this family tree, which I also picked up at the mass grave on Lake Heart Island. These things should be able to prove that I went to Lake Heart Island last night."

"In other words, when Shopkeeper Cui died, Xiaoyu and I were still on the island in the middle of the lake. The night watchman should know that a heavy fog rose at three o'clock yesterday, and the entire Lin residence was shrouded in thick fog."

"It was already four o'clock in the morning when I finished escorting the spirit tablets. I couldn't sleep that night, so I asked Xiaoyu to sleep with me for a while."

"Xiao Yu left my room at five o'clock in the morning. These clues alone should be enough to clear me of suspicion!"

Foggy?

Xiaoyu was stunned, and then her pretty face turned red.

What is sleeping companion?

I am just a maid, how could I have the qualifications to climb onto the young master's bed?

She subconsciously tugged at Qin Shang's sleeve.

It was indeed foggy last night, but the time was not the fourth watch, but the first watch.

As for the matter of sleeping with him at dawn, it is totally unfounded.

What nonsense is the young master talking about?

When they came back, they heard the noise of the night watchman.

When Qin Shang heard the voice, he clearly asked himself what day it was.

Could it be that the Third Young Master mixed up his dream memories?

Hearing this, the Second Young Master's wife's expression froze, and then she seemed to have thought of something and started to curse;

"Nonsense, the fog will appear at the first watch, what bullshit are you talking about?"

"When you came back, it was not even three o'clock in the morning, at most two o'clock in the morning. How can there be fog at four o'clock in the morning?"

After saying this, the Second Young Master's wife seemed to have grasped some key information, her momentum rose steadily, and she sneered;

"I told you that you are guilty. Do you really think no one knows the time? What nonsense are you talking about?"

"You came back at the second watch! You are desperate and are telling lies with your eyes open. What's more, that little girl left your room at the third watch, so how could she stay until the fifth watch..."

As these words came out, countless people looked at Qin Shang, their expressions filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Could it be that this third young master really killed Manager Cui?

However, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Qin Shang, who was regarded as a suspect by countless people, suddenly had a playful expression.

"Madam Second Young Master, you've been exposed!"

"By the way, how did you know I would be back at midnight when you were in the room the whole time?"

"You saw me coming back from the lake island at midnight? That's why you are so sure that I'm talking nonsense?"

"Then you actually didn't go to bed during the second watch, and you knew my whereabouts."

"So, you were also in front of my Third Young Master's Mansion during the second watch!"

"If Shopkeeper Cui died in the okra forest of the Third Young Master's Mansion, it is more likely that Shopkeeper Cui died before the fourth watch at your hands rather than being killed by me, right?"

"I even got the time mixed up, but you who deliberately remembered the time clearly, you seem more like a murderer who is trying to frame me, right?"

"And even if you didn't kill the person, you must be an eyewitness, right?"

"Otherwise, how do you know that I didn't come back at the fourth watch, but at the second watch?"

"In other words, you know what I do during the second and fourth hours of the night."

"Otherwise you wouldn't be so sure that Xiaoyu didn't leave my room at five o'clock. You were always monitoring our behavior."

"Speaking of which..."

"Madam Second Young Master, you were lingering outside my room all night last night. Your behavior is very intriguing!"

When the voice fell, the entire square fell into a brief silence.

At this moment, the spearhead turned to the second young master's wife.
