His casual remark dispelled everyone's suspicions.
Even though he was the most likely person to harm Nangong Ruyue.
But he was also the least likely to do so.
His life was too short, and there was simply no need to do so.
But if it wasn't him, then who could it be?
Someone couldn't help but speculate boldly, "Could it be... Nangong Ruyue committed suicide?"
"It's possible."
"But Nangong Xu doesn't believe she committed suicide, what can we do?"
Everyone looked worried, anxious that Nangong Xu would follow through on his words.
Yet they held onto a glimmer of hope.
There's a saying that the law does not punish the masses; would Nangong Xu really kill them all?
Perhaps he was just trying to scare them...
Listening to their discussion, Nangong Yi thought they were too naive.
Nangong Xu had openly captured them, and he was determined to kill them.
So, whether or not the murderer was handed over, they would all die...

The day was long.
The sun set and rose again.
