Chapter 1878
1878 Chapter 1880. Master Qi killed and set fire to the building. Master Jue would also collect the corpses! 1
The empire had clearly stated that the construction team had to register the dead and explain the reason behind their deaths. They had to form an official doc.u.ment and hand it over when they returned to the empire. After all, every engineer’s life was precious.
Deputy Zhang had no choice but to ask another question.
He thought that this guess was more or less the same. It was enough to explain the cause of the deaths of the five people. It could also clear the name of Lady Qi Qi as a murderer.
!!
He had not expected it!
Gu Qiqi gave him an unexpected and shocking answer.
“No. I killed her!”
Gu Qiqi said it very cleanly and without fear.
The engineers next to her were so shocked that they almost fell to the ground.
They had never seen such a bold and honest killing!
“Why… Why?”Deputy Zhang asked with a complicated expression on his face.
If Miss Qiqi was really a murderer, even if Sir Jue was protecting her, he would still advise her with his life and ask Sir Jue to send her to prison!
At that time, the court would naturally give a fair verdict.
After all, Miss QIQI had rendered meritorious service. Killing and meritorious service would cancel each other out, and she might be able to save a few years in prison.
However, if he was to hide it and pretend that the deaths of his five brothers had never happened, he really could not do it!
He took a step forward and bit his lip. He was prepared to use his death to request for a fair and just punishment from Lord Jue.
The expression on his face was so solemn and tragic! It was so miserable!
Seeing this, the engineers around him also had a look of pity on their faces. They were extremely conflicted in their hearts. Should they side with Lord Jue and Miss qiqi, or should they side with vice-captain Zhang and the five deceased comrades.
Since ancient times, it was difficult to make a choice between emotions and reason!
However.
Gu Qiqi was not affected by the tense and tragic atmosphere at all.
She did not even feel wronged when she was suspected of intentionally killing people. Instead, she smiled and said, “Because they are spies. If we don’t kill them, are we going to keep them for the summer vacation?”
Fall!
Vice Zhang and the soldiers who were eating melon seeds had shocked expressions on their faces.
Spies… Spies?
“It can’t be, right? Those five engineers set off with us from the capital and came here together. They did not join us halfway…”everyone could not believe it and even felt that it was a little ridiculous. Those five people were quite honest. Two of them had known each other for many years. They usually ate, drank, trained, played, and discussed how to woo women..
How could the mole be hidden so deeply?
Everyone couldn’t help but look at Gong Jue.
They were hoping that Lord Jue would come out and say a few words.
Although Miss Qiqi was very capable and had made a valiant contribution.
But to say that their companion was a mole was really too hard to accept.
However.
Gong jue stretched out his slender arm and pulled gu qiqi into his embrace.
His brows were long and his eyes never moved away from Gu Qiqi.
His att.i.tude was like a silent “My woman, whatever you say is right!”
Deputy Zhang recalled that when Gong Jue had mentioned this matter to Gong Jue previously, Gong Jue had said unswervingly, “I believe in my woman.”.
His heart could not help but tremble. He completely understood that Lord Jue would never stand on the opposite side of Miss Qiqi.
Even if Miss Qiqi really committed murder and arson, Lord Jue might even follow behind her to collect her corpse!
He bit his lip. Although he did not say anything else, he was not convinced in his heart.
Gu Qiqi raised her eyebrows and said indifferently, “My words are indeed not convincing. Whether it’s a traitor or not, why don’t you all go to Teuton’s place to look for evidence?”
Everyone looked at each other. That’s right!
Teuton must have kept the list of spies in his hands. Otherwise, how could he use it so conveniently?
Without waiting for orders, someone immediately rushed to investigate.
In a moment, the person who investigated came back!
