Fifteen hands stretched out. Chu Qingwan looked at them one by one, stood in front of a flawless hand, and looked up at the owner of this hand.
She is a little girl, wearing the same braid as the maids in the mansion, and she is not very old.
If she remembered correctly, she was responsible for making the old man's bed and could freely enter and leave the old man's bedroom.
Chu Qingwan said: "Stretch out the other hand."
The maid hesitantly stretched out her hands. They were both equally white and not stained at all.
Chu Qingwan had something to worry about, suddenly his face darkened, and he asked sternly: "Why did you steal the old lady's property?"
The maid didn't expect her sudden attack. She was startled and instinctively knelt down.
Liu and Chu Qingyue were both shocked and hurriedly came forward.
Chu Qingyue's face turned pale when she saw the maid's appearance.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Liu probably understood. She was wondering how Qingwan could find out, but her face said: "What are you doing? Convicting her with red lips and white teeth?"
Upon hearing this, the maid came back to her senses and shouted: "I have been wronged. I have borrowed a hundred courages from you, but I don't dare to do such a thing! Madam, please be careful!"
Mrs. Liu just wanted to cover up the past, and took the opportunity to drive away Mrs. Song and suppress Chu Qingwan. After hearing this, she said: "Don't worry, I'm not a person who doesn't know right from wrong. You can go down first."
The maid stood up and was about to leave, but Chu Qingwan stopped: "Stop!"
Although she was not favored, she was still a master, so the maid immediately did not dare to move.
Chu Qingwan looked at Chu Qingyue and Liu Shi leisurely: "Mrs. Chu, Miss Chu, aren't you curious how I was sure?"
Of course the two of them were curious, but if the maid was allowed to stay here and admit it, they would be forced to expose them.
When the matter is exposed, if the goal is not achieved, the old man will reprimand him if he doesn't say it, which is not worth the loss.
Thinking of this, Chu Qingyue said: "Your fingerprint collector sounds nice, why don't you compare it with me? I think you just found a scapegoat just to excuse this woman!"
Chu Qingwan said calmly: "That's a good question. Why don't I compare? Because from the beginning, the fingerprint collector was just a cover."
"Jade agate does leave fingerprints. I lied about having a collector just to deceive the thief."
"What I put in the bag was actually a stick of ink. If I have never done anything wrong, I will try my best to prove my innocence. I will try my best to leave fingerprints, and my hands will be stained with ink."
"And those who are secretive are probably thinking that if they don't leave fingerprints, there will be no basis for comparison. They will only put their hands in symbolically and will not touch the ink. Naturally, there will be no traces on their hands."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, and as expected, except for the maid, everyone else had ink marks on their fingers.
Chu Qingyue and Liu Shi never expected this, and were stunned for a moment. The maid was so frightened that she sweated and clenched her hands tightly.
It took a long while before Ms. Liu came to her senses and defended weakly: "You, you... you are making up your own mind here. How could I know that you hadn't already planned to frame someone else?"
Chu Qingwan sneered: "Mrs. Chu, in front of so many servants, do you believe what you said?"
Mrs. Liu choked and turned purple.
Chu Qingwan turned to the maid: "Tell me, why did you steal? Why did you frame Granny Song? Who instigated you?"
The maid secretly glanced at Chu Qingyue and shook her head desperately: "I haven't done it before. I'm not a slave. I haven't done it..."
"Very good." Chu Qingwan was not in a hurry after hearing her denial.
"The old man has no room for people like cocks, dogs, and thieves. Now that something like this happens, I would rather kill him by mistake than let him go or not admit it."
"Wei Zhan!" Chu Qingwan frowned, and his aura suddenly became fierce, "Kill him directly!"
Wei Zhan stood up, the sword in his hand was half unsheathed, and his ice-like face was swung there, giving him the look of Yama.
The maid had never seen such a battle before. She was so frightened that she knelt down on her knees, shaking her body and kowtow: "I said, I said! I said..."
