Gu Changsheng's tone was slightly cold.
The shopkeeper became even more restrained: "It's as it should be, it's all as it should be..."
"Uncle Yang is our Gu family's housekeeper and your son Yang Bo serves in the mansion. So Uncle Yang, I want to ask you, where did your son Yang Bo go after the incident in the Gu family?" Gu Changsheng asked.
The shopkeeper shuddered: "After the incident at the mansion, the servants were afraid that the robbers would come again, so they all dispersed."
"Yang Bo didn't go home." Gu Changsheng raised the corners of his lips slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"This kid must be feeling guilty and has gone somewhere. I'm worried about him..." the shopkeeper expressed his concern.
Snapped!
Gu Changsheng suddenly slammed the table, startling the shopkeeper: "Prince..."
"Your good son, I'm afraid he betrayed the Gu family!" Gu Changsheng sneered, his eyes suddenly became as sharp as a sword, "On the day when the family had an accident, he ordered a meal from Jingxia Restaurant, right?"
The shopkeeper's expression changed instantly: "Yes, yes..."
"Tell me, who asked you to put drugs in the food?" Gu Changsheng asked.
"No, no, you misunderstood, my lord. I don't have the courage..."
The shopkeeper fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowed vigorously, and explained in a trembling voice.
Gu Changsheng stood up and said sternly, "How could the robbers take away all the masters of the Gu Mansion, including my newborn nephew, without using a single knife or a single gun? If not drugging, what else could it be?"
"But this is the smokescreen that the robbers put in the mansion. It has nothing to do with me!"
"No, it does."
Just then, Xia Qianqian's clear voice was heard.
She was standing at the door, holding a tray in her hand. On the tray were a few seasoning bottles. The bottles looked a little dirty and didn't look like they were placed on the stove. No one knew where they came from.
"Here's the evidence." Xia Qianqian said, "There are incense in these spices. There are three kinds in total. They don't seem to have strong medicinal effects, but once they are neutralized together, they have a very strong sleep-inducing effect."
Gu Changsheng looked at the shopkeeper: "Uncle Yang, do you have anything else to say?"
The shopkeeper's eyes flickered, but he still refused to admit it: "Miss Xia, please don't wrongly accuse me..."
"I went to the kitchen specifically to find evidence. Uncle Yang, you are a frugal person. Even though these seasonings contain aphrodisiac fragrance, you were reluctant to throw them away. Sure enough, I found them in the corner of the kitchen." Xia Qianqian said.
"That is absolutely not the case..."
"I have tested them one by one. These spices are fine when used alone. Only when they are taken together will they make you sleepy. So you left them behind, but you didn't dare to take them home in a short period of time, so you hid them in the kitchen first."
With every word Xia Qianqian spoke, Uncle Yang's face turned paler.
It's already obvious.
Gu Changsheng shouted sternly: "Uncle Yang, what else do you have to say now?"
"Prince, this really has nothing to do with me!" The shopkeeper was about to cry.
Gu Changsheng asked: "How do you explain these seasonings?"
"I, I don't know either!" The shopkeeper knelt on the ground, shaking like a sieve.
Xia Qianqian smiled at Gu Changsheng: "Hubby, let's take the lie detector!"
"good."
Gu Changsheng took out the polygraph tester.
The shopkeeper had seen this thing once before and knew how powerful it was. He was paralyzed at the time: "Prince, I was also forced... Those people said that if I didn't do it, they would kill Yang Bo. Yang Bo is my only son..."
"Yang Bo followed them, right?" Gu Changsheng asked.
