With that statement, Xu Mushen fell silent.
Xu Qiaoqiao understood immediately. He must have the same doubts as she did.
Xu Qiaoqiao furrowed her brows and said determinedly, "He didn't do it!"
After saying that, she looked confused, "Then why did you bring him here?"
Xu Mushen explained calmly, "The trial is today, and I must have you released without a conviction."
Xu Qiaoqiao suddenly understood.
Because he didn't have any evidence proving that she wasn't the murderer, Xu Mushen chose to temporarily believe Gu Ying's words, putting the case on hold to get her released without conviction, buying some time.
Even if Gu Ying was the murderer, his trial would be a separate case. The dust wouldn't settle today.
Xu Mushen was employing the tactic of stalling.
Xu Qiaoqiao stared at him, asking, "What now?"
