Chapter 492: Chapter 491: The Chief Culprit_1

"You deliberately jostled a drunken Qin Yi, causing him to stumble towards me. Then, taking advantage of my instability, you forcefully pushed me down the slope. Even though it was raining and Qin Yi was completely drunk, I remember exactly where each person was standing. The one with the best opportunity and position to strike was you, who stood to my left, behind Qin Yi!"

Uncle Hua’s face was filled with shock!

He fell to his knees with a "thud," and continuously knelt his head on the ground, with blood quickly streaking down his forehead!

"Madam, Madam! I didn’t do any of those things!"

He tried to recollect, seemingly thinking of something, his eyes lit up, and he immediately defended himself, "Madam, Madam! On the night when you fell down the slope, Wang Uncle, who was walking slightly ahead of me, was also on your left, behind the master. Besides, these shoes are uniformly distributed in our manor. I might have put on the wrong shoes in a hurry after hearing the disturbance. Madam, please..."

As he said this, he broke into a wail.

His words changed the color of Wang Uncle’s face who was standing on the side!

"Madam, please, don’t listen to his nonsense."

He quickly stepped forward from the crowd and knelt down, "Uncle Hua has been acting suspiciously lately. That night, when we all went down the slope to look for you, it was only him, he was the only one standing atop the slope not moving. I hope the madam can discern the truth."

"You’re talking nonsense! I went down the slope, but when I didn’t find Madam, I went back up to search. Don’t slander me!"

Uncle Hua stubbornly retorted, and then thought of something, "You said I didn’t go down the slope to search for people? It was so dark and raining heavily that night; how did you know that I didn’t go down the slope?"

Wang Uncle wanted to speak, but he was interrupted by Su Pan’er.

"Enough, all of you stop arguing!"

Su Pan’er shouted, "The truth will naturally reveal itself!"

She turned to Su Lao Si and said, "Father, could you please send some people to search? I believe the culprit didn’t have enough time to remove all the evidence within such a short period."

Su Lao Si immediately nodded, leading a few servants to go and search.

Not long after they returned with a package, "We found it! We found a package that a night traveler had used!"

He opened the package, and Su Pan’er saw a set of night travel clothes and a piece of charming fragrance inside it!

"Father, where was this found?"

"We found it under Uncle Hua’s bed!"

Even in front of the evidence, Uncle Hua still refused to confess, struggling desperately, "I am being framed, these things are not mine, they’re not mine! I’m being framed...framed..."

Looking at Uncle Hua, who kept crying out his innocence, Su Pan’er frowned.

"Even in the face of overwhelming evidence, you still deny your guilt?"

Su Pan’er shook her head, "If you often walk by the river, your shoes are bound to get wet. Uncle Zhou, aside from these pieces of evidence, your body also bears the smell of saffron. Some people may not be able to distinguish it, but I am well acquainted with medicines. Did you think you could deceive my nose?"

Uncle Hua wanted to say something, opened his mouth but ultimately closed it in despair.

"Madam, this humble servant really doesn’t know how these things got on me, but it’s really, really not me..."

Su Pan’er remained silent, staring at the pair of shoes covered in pearl powder for a long time.

"I’m tired."

Su Pan’er stood up and waved her hand, "Father, could you please have him tied up? As soon as dawn breaks, send him to the government office."

Su Lao Si immediately agreed and ordered his men to tie Uncle Hua up with the Five Flowers Tie.

Su Pan’er cast a glance at the other servants, a cunning smile flashing in her eyes. She then ordered, "Since we’ve caught the villain, everyone should go back and rest."

Everyone quickly responded and left.

Just as Wang Uncle was leaving, Su Pan’er suddenly moved, swiftly striking his shoulder with her palm.

Wang Uncle was taken aback and hurriedly raised his hand to defend himself.

Su Pan’er moved like lightning, landed a finger on his acupoint of numbness!

He froze on the spot, trembling as he asked, "Madam, what is the meaning of this?"

"What’s the meaning?"

Su Pan’er gave a cold smile, "Did you think no one would realize your scheme to frame others?"

"Madam, it’s a misunderstanding!"

Wang Uncle said with a wronged look on his face, "I’m just a simple servant, I don’t understand these intricacies."

"You won’t cry until you see the coffin, huh!"

Su Pan’er glanced at him and sneered, "You seemed to have left no trace behind and even used a clever method to hide your injury. However, you were a bit too pleased with yourself. The place where you stood happened to be upwind and the stench of blood on you that you didn’t have time to clean revealed your true self."

The color drained from Wang Uncle’s face.

"What exactly happened? Wasn’t the culprit Uncle Hua? How did it turn out to be Wang Uncle?"

Su Lao Si asked, his face full of confusion.

"I observed Uncle Hua carefully just now; he didn’t seem to be lying. And I smelled the stench of blood from Wang Uncle, so I paid attention to the soles of his shoes. The part stained with pearl powder was concentrated in the front, with none on the heel. It seemed as if someone with smaller feet deliberately wore a pair of larger shoes out, and the part stained with dust naturally leaned towards the front. But the most worn-out part of the shoe was at the back. Upon carefully considering this contradiction, I confirmed that he was suspect."

Su Pan’er explained with a smile, "And I was worried that he might have martial arts skills, and that he could accidentally hurt innocent people if he fought back. Therefore, I devised a plan, letting him think I had already identified Uncle Hua as the evildoer to lower his guard. Only then did I suddenly strike him by surprise."

"But, but..."

Su Lao Si’s face was filled with confusion, "Just now when we searched him, I didn’t find any wounds on his body, did I?"

"Go ahead and hit his right shoulder, father. Use a bit of force."

Su Pan’er smiled.

Su Lao Si immediately stepped forward and slapped Wang Uncle’s right shoulder hard.

Wang Uncle couldn’t help but groan, and his right shoulder quickly reddened, after which a crack appeared, and blood continuously spilled out from the cracks.

Su Lao Si casually wiped it, and a film-like substance on Wang Uncle’s body slid off, revealing a bunch of bleeding red dots.

"Father, do you understand now?"

Su Pan’er said with a faint smile, "It’s a pity for Uncle Hua, he almost became the scapegoat for such a malicious person!"

Uncle Hua had a look of fear on his face, apparently not yet awake from the sudden turn of events.

Only after people untied the ropes around him did he relax, kneeling down and burst into tears.

"Thank you, madam, for clearing my name! Thank you, madam!"

"Uncle Hua, please get up. It was my oversight. Don’t take it to heart."

"Madam, why say such a thing?! Being able to meet a master like you who is approachable is the greatest fortune of my three lifetimes. From now on, I will do my utmost to serve you and the master without any hesitation!"

Uncle Hua made a solemn promise.

"Good! My Pan’er is indeed clever! If not for her, not only would we have wrongly accused a good person, but we would also have let the real culprit get away."

Su Lao Si praised Pan’er with a thumbs up.
