Only now did the County Magistrate ask Su Bin, "Is this book yours?"
Su Bin shook his head calmly. "No."
"What makes you so sure?"
"I have two reasons to support my claim."
"Firstly, on the second page of my copy of the Analects, there are two words written by me - Su Bin."
"Secondly, my argument was still present in the book three days ago, and I have witnesses to confirm this. Additionally, this girl's alleged good sister passed away five days ago, which suggests that she gave this book to her before her passing."
Honglian felt a cold sweat break out on her forehead. Her confession was riddled with inconsistencies.
Young Master Lin, Su Bin's roommates, as well as Old Master Wang, provided testimony supporting Su Bin's alibi, affirming that they had seen Su Bin with his book three days ago.
"Where is your book now?"
"It disappeared three days ago."
"Was it stolen?"
"Yes."
