Gu Zhao didn't seem to care, but in fact he had already seen the reactions of several people and had a plan in mind.

She gestured to Tan Dufang, "Master Tan, you are an expert. Please go and see if what I am saying makes sense and if there are any shortcomings."

"This will prevent Mr. Meng Ge and Prince Xinyang from thinking that I, Gu Zhao, is up to something."

Tan Dufang quickly raised his hand and said, "Mr. Gu, your investigation is careful and well-organized. You can also deduce the scene of the murderer's murder based on basic traces and physical evidence. I really admire you."

"Even if the official personally investigates, this is the conclusion."

Tan Dufang had little contact with Konghe Division before. When he met him today, he realized why Konghe Division had such a prestigious reputation in the first place.

Gu Zhao smiled and said, "It's better to ask Mr. Tan to check it out, so that everyone can rest assured."

Gu Zhao noticed that when Tan Dufang spoke, most of the officials who were watching had expressions of approval. It seemed that in the past few years since she was away from the capital, this doctor from the Ministry of Justice had a very good reputation.

Tan Dufang stopped refusing and climbed onto the stone where Hu Siye was standing before he fell into the water. He carefully inspected the surrounding traces and finally concluded that Shen Wei's words were correct.

Hu Siye was not pushed into the water, but as Shen Wei said, he lost his footing and fell into the water. He was deliberately blocked and was not allowed to go ashore, so he drowned alive.

Gu Zhao asked Mr. Meng Ge, "Does Mr. Ge have any objections to this? Or you can ask your trustworthy and knowledgeable subordinates to investigate again. I can wait."

Old Meng Ge's face turned dark.

Tan Dufang is already the best official in the imperial court who is good at surveying the scene. He has said that Bai He from the He Control Department is right. Who else can Mr. Meng Ge find to look at it again?

Gu Zhao then asked Qin Youjin, "Does Prince Xinyang have any objection to this conclusion?"

Qin Youjin's face turned livid, "I don't understand those footprints, let alone why I can guess out of thin air that Hu Siye fell into the water by himself without seeing anyone at all."

"Anyway, I saw it with my own eyes. Hu Siye was pushed into the water by a man in black official uniform. Then the murderer flew away and fled into the forest."

"Gu Zhao, you have many men, and the He Control Division is famous. No one dares to go against you, but I can't violate my conscience and lie just because of this!"

When he said these words, Tan Dufang's face suddenly darkened.

Qin Youjin simply accused Tan Dufang face to face, saying that in order to curry favor with Gu Zhao, he ignored the facts at the scene and cheated with Shen Wei.

Tan Dufang said coldly, "Prince, if you often participate in investigating cases, you should know that not all witnesses' testimonies can be accepted, but the traces at the scene will not be deceptive."

Qin Youjin was furious. Qin Xinglie could beat him, Gu Zhao could betray him, but now even a fifth-grade official dared to do this to him?

At this moment, Tan Dufang seemed to become the epitome of all the people who bullied him and despised him in his two lives. Qin Youjin almost forgot that Qin Xinglie was still around, and took a step forward, wanting to hit Tan Dufang.

Tan Dufang's face turned stern, and before he could dodge, Gu Zhao had already pinched Qin Youjin's wrist.

A mere fifth-grade official dares to bully me! I must kill you today!

But seeing that Gu Zhao was supported by Qin Xinglie and seeing that Gu Zhao was about to climb a high branch, everyone started to fawn over Gu Zhao, bah! What the hell!

I don’t believe it anymore. I can’t touch Gu Zhao, so I can’t touch you?

Disgust flashed through Gu Zhao's eyes, he pressed hard with his palms and said in a cold tone: "Prince Xinyang, if you want to take action, I can accompany you!"

"Now I am willing to reason with you. Even if you are lying, I have given you a chance. If you don't cherish it, then I will not reason with you!"

Gu Zhao shook Qin Youjin's hand hard, his face turned cold.

Shen Wei, who was standing behind Gu Zhao, suddenly pulled out half of his waist knife, and the cold light shone.

The few little cranes behind him immediately followed suit and drew their swords, with ferocious expressions on their faces. They looked at Qin Youjin without awe, as if they were looking at some criminal.

Qin Youjin trembled suddenly and involuntarily hid away from Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao's eyes darkened, remembering that it was like this in the past. When Qin Youjin was scared, he would hide behind him; when he couldn't sleep, he would go to the palace to accompany him.

However, Qin Youjin never took his companionship and protection into his heart. Instead, he felt that this made him lack confidence in front of Gu Zhao. He wanted to see Gu Zhao less and less, and only wanted to listen to Lin Xuerong's sweet words of flattery and compliments...

There was a chill in the corner of Gu Zhao's mouth, and his tone was like a glacier that has not melted for thousands of years, "Since the King of Xinyang insists that you saw the murderer push Hu Siye into the water with your own eyes, then please ask the King of Xinyang to lead the way, and we will go to the place where you saw this scene. have a look."

Qin Youjin felt inexplicably afraid and looked around subconsciously.

Gu Zhao gave Shen Wei a wink, and Shen Wei nodded and made a gesture towards the back.

Qin Youjin finally raised his feet and walked forward. Gu Zhao and the people she had summoned by name followed behind him. Qin Xinglie didn't say a word and followed as a matter of course.

Some others wanted to follow, but the people accused of Hesi stopped them and said, "Please keep your distance, sir."

They originally thought that the people in Control He Division would not allow them to follow, but after hearing this, they realized that they were just asking them not to follow too closely.

Everyone watching the excitement nodded, indicating that they would never disturb the business of the adults in front.

They were just watching the excitement, and no one wanted to become a spectacle and be watched by others.

Qin Youjin led everyone through the forest path and came to a bush. "I was here before. I saw Hu Siye being pushed into the water."

Gu Zhao signaled everyone to stop, looked down and found a pair of footprints in front of the bushes, which were exactly the same as the footprints Qin Youjin had left along the way.

It seems that Qin Youjin has really stood in this place before.

Gu Zhao walked to Qin Youjin's previous footprints and looked up towards the lake.

Through the few sparse trees in front, we can indeed see the stone where Hu Siye fell into the water before.
