"Strangled to death?"
Gu Qiaoqiao muttered.
Gu Qingfeng’s voice was somewhat heavy, "There are eyewitnesses who say they saw Ah Ze going to that small courtyard, and then leaving it. More than one person saw him. It was after work and dinner time, so there were more than a dozen people who saw him, and at this moment, they have all gone to give their testimony."
Gu Qiaoqiao was frozen for a moment, then asked softly, "Great Grandfather, do you mean to say... that all the witness testimony now points to Qin Yize being related to Wang Yuan’s death?"
Gu Qingfeng nodded with difficulty, "Yes..."
Gu Qiaoqiao collapsed onto the sofa, her face turning deathly pale.
Of course, she believed in Qin Yize.
But Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t trust anyone or anything outside of the Gu Family.
Things changed in an instant, beyond her control, making her vulnerable to the unexpected.
At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao had reason to believe in this matter.
It surely was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
But because of this, it seemed faultless.
It appeared as though just following the procedure would be enough to convict Qin Yize of the murder.
How could that be possible?
Absolutely impossible!
Then who was setting up Qin Yize?
If it were a scheme against her, that would be plausible.
But why frame Qin Yize?
Moreover, even the senior leaders should believe in Qin Yize’s character.
Wouldn’t they be afraid that if their plot failed, they’d end up hurting themselves instead?
Or did they have some kind of foolproof plan?
But this era isn’t ruled by one person’s will.
It’s about evidence and the law.
If something hasn’t been done, it hasn’t been done.
Trying to pin this affair on Qin Yize is also impossible.
Besides, Qin Yize would not allow it to happen.
So what exactly was going on?
That would be the time to use their power.
Talking about anything else now was meaningless.
The only thing to do was to start asking around quickly.
They needed to discover if there were any secrets they didn’t know, to then be informed about how to proceed with the next step.
So, Old Patriarch Gu made calls to people he could contact.
It was already past ten o’clock at night.
Such matters, even if one wished to keep them secret, couldn’t possibly be hidden.
If Qin Yize’s parents were powerless, it might be different, but Old Grand Master Qin’s connections were extremely complicated.
Therefore, Gu Qingfeng made the call.
After speaking with Old Grand Master Qin, he called the Qin Family Old Residence.
Qin Xuan happened to be the one who answered.
Gu Qingfeng recounted everything to Qin Xuan in detail.
He also shared the information he had gathered with Qin Xuan.
After all, Qin Yize was Qin Xuan’s son.
They could keep Grandma Qin in the dark, but not him.
And more people meant greater strength.
Similarly, the reactions of Qin Xuan and Old Grand Master Qin were the same.
Both shock and disbelief.
In their eyes and hearts, anyone could have committed the act, but Qin Yize—impossible!
But this wasn’t the time to express shock.
What needed to be done was to start taking action immediately.
And at that moment, upon hearing the news, Luo Fan drove to the Gu Garden.
The lights in the Gu Family’s living room were bright.
Everyone was anxiously awaiting news.
But they knew the situation was not simple.
The most troublesome issue was the overwhelming number of eyewitnesses.
The only thing was, no one could prove that Qin Yize killed Wang Yuan.
But at the time of Wang Yuan’s death, there was no one in the courtyard.
Old Man Wang had gone out for a walk and returned later.
