Chapter 522: Chapter 526: Putting a Green Hat on Xing Chen?
"Hmph! Of course, a murderer wouldn’t admit to their crime! Look at this yourself! How long did you think you could hide the fact that you killed Gu Beichuan?!" Lou Zhaonian continued to scoff, casually pulling two photos from his suit pocket and tossing them in front of Ran Xiangsi.
Ran Xiangsi did not intend to catch them, and the photos floated lightly to the ground.
One photo landed face up, the other face down.
The face-up photo showed Ran Xiangsi holding a fruit knife, squatting in front of a blood-soaked Gu Beichuan.
Ran Xiangsi lowered her gaze slightly, her pupils involuntarily contracting...
How could Lou Zhaonian possibly have this photo?
The surrounding cameras seized the moment, zooming in frantically to capture a close-up of the photo on the ground!
The guests sitting in the front row also saw the photo, each of their mouths agape, wide enough to fit a whole goose egg!
They thought Xing Chen’s personal life was already messy enough, but now a murder case is involved as well?
Reality is truly more thrilling than television dramas!
While the crowd waited to see the drama unfold, Ran Xiangsi paid no mind to their reaction. She bent down to pick up the fallen photo, her brow furrowed.
"It’s just a photo. Making up stories based on pictures is an outdated trick. Old man, you want to frame me, and you think a photo is enough? Besides, what motive would I have to kill him?"
Lou Zhaonian had already anticipated Ran Xiangsi’s defense. He turned and signaled to Ding Jia behind him.
Ding Jia, who had been hiding among the crowd, now calmly walked out with Lou Zhaonian’s permission, standing in front of Ran Xiangsi.
"It’s not just the photo. I am a witness. I saw you kill him with my own eyes and then dump his body into the sea. As for the motive... do you really want me to say it in front of all these people? That day, Gu Beichuan kidnapped you, he assaulted you, and you harbored a grudge, so you found an opportunity to kill him in revenge!"
Ding Jia fabricated the story about witnessing Ran Xiangsi commit murder.
If she didn’t make up this story and make herself the sole witness, how could she earn Lou Zhaonian’s trust?
Besides, with only her word, and Gu Beichuan not alive to refute it, who could prove she was lying?
Unless Gu Beichuan miraculously appeared again, Ran Xiangsi wouldn’t be able to clear her name no matter what.
The audience below sighed again...
So, this beautiful girl not only committed murder but also cheated on Xing Chen?
And Xing Chen still wants such a woman?
Tsk tsk, Xing Chen is definitely not an ordinary person!
At the moment Ding Jia appeared, and with the interactions between Ding Jia and Lou Zhaonian, plus what Xing Chen had mentioned about Ding Jia in the kitchen earlier, a realization suddenly dawned on Ran Xiangsi.
She hadn’t committed murder, so she wasn’t afraid of Ding Jia’s accusations.
Through this incident, she seemed to understand something.
She turned around, her bright eyes slightly lifted, tears shimmering as she gazed into Xing Chen’s star-like eyes.
"Did they use my supposed murder to force you to marry Lou Xinyu?"
Recently, she had been impulsive and emotionally foolish, but her intelligence hadn’t diminished.
Connecting all these events, it truly seemed likely!
