Chapter 273 Zhou Cuirou Confessed
This time, Ye Shaohong lied again.
Zhou Cuirou did not confess at all, nor did she reveal the people behind her.
Ye Shaohong said this simply to alert the enemy.
As he finished speaking, he carefully observed the changes in everyone's expressions, including the old lady, the eldest grandmother, and several concubines.
The expressions on everyone's faces varied: some were surprised, some were astonished, and some were confused.
There was also panic.
Who was this panicked person? To Ye Shaohong's surprise, it was actually his eldest grandmother.
She was the first wife of Sun Yihui, the commander of the newly formed 7th Army who had already died.
This discovery surprised and puzzled Ye Shaohong, and he was also very confused. Was the eldest grandmother really the mastermind behind it all?
If she was the mastermind, why would the old lady, as Sun Yihui's biological mother, strictly order everyone in the Sun family to help the eldest mistress cover up what happened on that stormy night?
This is unreasonable.
Could it be that the old lady is being controlled by the eldest daughter-in-law?
Or have they found something to use against me?
Given the power and control that the matriarch of the Sun family has demonstrated over the Sun household, would she really be threatened?
No matter how Ye Shaohong thought about it, something felt off.
How do we explain the expression on the eldest grandmother's face?
In front of everyone, Ye Shaohong couldn't bring himself to ask the question. He could only suppress his doubts for the time being and also withdrew his probing gaze that had been scanning everyone.
At the same time, the old lady of the Sun family also set her sights on Zhou Cuirou.
She stomped her dragon-headed cane on the ground, and her aged, cold voice, filled with boundless rage, resounded throughout the room.
"Say!"
"Why did you kill the third concubine and the old housekeeper?!"
This old lady wielded considerable power within the Sun family. With just a few simple words and her cold demeanor, she immediately silenced everyone present.
Zhou Cuirou also looked up at the sound.
"I don't!"
"Madam, I have been wronged! You must do justice for me!"
As soon as the voice rang out, Zhou Cuirou's robust and strong body trembled slightly, and a look of sorrow appeared on her face.
She did look rather aggrieved.
This also drew the attention of the old lady, the eldest daughter-in-law, several concubines, and many other women in the Sun family.
She looked at Ye Shaohong again.
Whether it's a case of injustice or not is not up to you to decide.
"Captain Zhu, take her away. I'll arrange for someone to interrogate her later."
"I can get her to confess in half an hour at most!"
Who is Ye Shaohong? He is Ye Yanluo, a name that resounds throughout the Special Service Department. He is ruthless and his methods are so cruel that even Japanese spies who fall into his hands cannot resist.
Not to mention ordinary women in this rural town.
He has complete confidence.
Upon hearing Ye Shaohong's words, Captain Zhu didn't dare to delay. He immediately waved his hand, beckoning two dark-skinned policemen to come over, who dragged Zhou Cuirou into the room next door.
During this process, some of the women in the Sun family opened their mouths, trying to say a few words on behalf of Zhou Cuirou.
But the old lady didn't stop them, and they didn't dare to speak up easily.
As Zhou Cuirou was dragged away, the old lady of the Sun family tightened her grip on her dragon-headed cane, gave Ye Shaohong another deep look, and then opened her mouth to respond.
"Half an hour?"
"Commissioner Ye is very confident!"
"Okay, I'll give you half an hour. I'll wait for you in the front hall in half an hour."
As soon as the words fell, the old lady of the Sun family didn't wait for Ye Shaohong to respond. She had already turned around and walked towards the gate, leaning on her dragon-headed cane.
As she moved, the eldest mistress, several concubines, and all the women of the Sun family also left one after another.
The once noisy and bustling front yard instantly fell silent.
Only then did Ye Shaohong turn around and look at Yu Manli.
"Manli, are you alright?"
"No, she's just strong, but actually quite clumsy. She can't catch me at all!"
Yu Manli shook her head, slowly walked up to Ye Shaohong, and grabbed his arm, responding with her actions.
"Well, I'm glad you're not hurt."
Ye Shaohong smiled, raised his hand and patted Yu Manli's hand, then looked at Zhuang Yifan.
"Yifan, you heard it too."
"You only have half an hour, don't let me down."
"By the way, Deputy Section Chief Zhou, why don't you come with Yifan too? Let me see how you do things."
Zhuang Yifan grinned and nodded in agreement.
Zhou Haichao, on the other hand, looked excited, stepped forward, and gave a loud reply.
"Don't worry, Commissioner Ye."
"She's just a shrew from the countryside. I'm sure I can get her to talk within the allotted time."
At this moment, Zhou Haichao was completely different from his previous obsequious demeanor. A sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
It does resemble the vicious and venomous characters from TV dramas.
"it is good!"
"I'm waiting for your good news."
After a soft chuckle, Ye Shaohong waved again, and Zhuang Yifan and Zhou Haichao turned and went to the next room. Captain Zhu was also a perceptive person.
Seeing that Ye Shaohong had no intention of leaving, he quietly left, went into the room, brewed a pot of strong tea, and placed it on the stone table under the big locust tree in the courtyard.
While he was doing all this, piercing wails and screams could be heard coming from the next room.
Clearly, Zhuang Yifan and Zhou Haichao have already made their move.
Amidst screams, Ye Shaohong led Yu Manli to sit on a stone bench, sipping fragrant tea and watching the sunset.
That carefree and self-satisfied look caught Captain Zhu's eye, making him twitch his lips again.
When he looked at Ye Shaohong again, the searching look in his eyes lessened, replaced by a hint of fear.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten minutes have passed.
Just as a pot of strong tea cooled down, the door to the next room was opened from the inside. Then, Zhou Haichao, his clothes stained with blood, walked out.
He held a piece of paper in his hand, a smug smile on his lips, and walked up to Ye Shaohong. He bent over and bowed his head obsequiously.
"Team Leader Ye, she confessed."
"This is a statement!"
Ye Shaohong nodded, and as he took the statement, he took out his pocket watch, opened the cover, and glanced at it.
"Seventeen minutes?"
"Deputy Section Chief Zhou has some good methods."
Ye Shaohong's lukewarm remark delighted Zhou Haichao, and his smile grew even brighter.
"Don't dare!"
"Brother Zhuang also deserves credit for this; I was just assisting him."
"It's your credit, no one can take it away from you." Ye Shaohong ignored Zhou Haichao's feigned modesty, flicked his wrist to flatten the paper recording the confession, glanced at it, and then raised an eyebrow.
"what?"
"He was actually behind us? This inner quarters of the Sun family are in quite a mess!"
