Feng Qing was furious but unable to refute her.
Faced with the distrustful gazes of the crowd, Feng Qing wished he could kill the woman before him.
Gongsun Mingyue, seeing his fierce eyes, clutched her chest, feigning fear, “Oh dear, you’re looking at me like that, I’m so scared.”
Feng Qing watched the woman’s disgusting performance and sneered, “Don’t think I don’t know, you and Yan Jin are in cahoots.”
Seeing the doubt in the crowd’s eyes, Feng Qing continued, “On our first night here, I saw this woman enter Yan Jin’s room. She didn’t come out until morning.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s gaze shifted to Yan Jin and Gongsun Mingyue.
Feng Qing continued his revelations: “Not only the day before yesterday, but last night, I also saw a woman sneaking into Yan Jin’s room in the middle of the night.”
Gongsun Mingyue, seemingly afraid that everyone would believe him, hurriedly explained, “I’ve already said before. I went to Teacher Yan Jin’s room to solve the riddle of that poem. As the saying goes, three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang; many hands make light work. My cooperation with Yan Jin isn’t illegal, is it?”
“Not illegal, of course, not illegal. But I have reason to suspect that the two of you conspired to kill us.”
“Nonsense. It’s you who’s not sleeping in the middle of the night, that’s suspicious!” Yan Jin said coldly.
Feng Qing scoffed, looking at Yan Jin and Gongsun Mingyue with disdain.
“What do you mean, ‘not sleeping in the middle of the night’? Even if I’d have to be able to sleep, with that woman’s moaning so loudly late at night, who could sleep?”
Yan Jin and Feng Qing’s rooms were separated by only one wall; it wasn’t impossible for them to overhear something.
Now, everyone’s eyes were constantly scanning Yan Jin and Gongsun Mingyue.
Gongsun Mingyue was about to explode in anger, but the next second, her face regained its composure. She gently brushed her hair aside, revealing a charming smile.
“Men and women enjoying each other’s company is human nature. Who says I can’t share a room with Teacher Yan Jin?”
Li Mengmeng muttered under her breath, “How shameless.”
Just as Feng Qing and Gongsun Mingyue were about to start arguing, Bei Yutang immediately intervened, “This isn’t the time for you to argue. I have a question I’d like to ask Butler Sen.”
Bei Yutang’s words successfully diverted everyone’s attention.
“Where was Butler Sen at the time? Are there any witnesses?”
“You don’t suspect Butler Sen, do you?” Li Mengmeng asked, somewhat surprised.
“Until the murderer is found, everyone on the island is a suspect. We’ve all testified about where we were at that time, but Butler Sen hasn’t told us where he was.”
Dr. Zhang agreed with Bei Yutang, “Yes, Miss Bei is right. Butler Sen and Ah Hua, where were you two at that time?”
Butler Sen said, “I was in the kitchen preparing breakfast for everyone.”
Ah Hua added, “I can testify to that. I was in the dining room tidying up the dishes, and that’s when I heard Mr. Yan call out to Old Mr. Huang.”
Bei Yutang looked at everyone present. No one seemed to have enough time to commit the murder; everyone appeared innocent. But Bei Yutang didn’t believe it. There must be something we overlooked.
Li Mengmeng said, “So, none of us here could be the murderer?”
