"According to what you say, Huang Zhong might be in danger." Xuan Yi pondered.

"You mean, this person died of old age because he was drugged?"

Xuan nodded and said:

"ALS, then muscle atrophy, and finally death."

"Gross syndrome?!"

"It's similar. This is a game. The developer likes to borrow these things. You can see that in his world view, ALS is actually caused by being drugged..."

"I think he is a talent." Ruan Li admired him sincerely.

"Your Excellency! You have a clue!" At this time, a guard came in from the door, followed by an old man with gray hair and frowning, who was wearing a fancy dress, and behind the old man was a crying beautiful woman.

Ruan Li was overjoyed and almost cried out excitedly. He pinched Xuan Yi's arm and whispered:

"I guess this couple is players. You can see that their acting skills are more exaggerated, and they are grinning without tears."

The old man is actually not old. You can tell by his walking posture that he is a young man. It must be because the system assigns roles unfairly, and his role-playing is relatively difficult~

Another cosplay lady... the beautiful woman was so hoarse from crying, she couldn't help but tugged at the man's wide sleeves in front of her, indicating that the old lady quit!

The man could only wave his hand and ask her to take it back.

The beautiful woman pretended to be tired from crying, choked up a few times, and then stopped, panting silently, stretching her neck to look at the corpse, wanting to see what her NPC son was like, obviously, This young lady had never seen a big scene before, she screamed and hid behind the man.

Ruan Li said happily in his heart:

"Bingo! First pair exposed!"

"Old prince, could it be that... this corpse belongs to the young prince?" Mr. NPC asked.

The 'Old Prince' nodded and said ambiguously:

"Eighty percent, yes." It didn't look sad.

"..."

"When did the little prince disappear?"

"Before, oh no, the day before yesterday, he went to Chubingtang, and never returned home after that." The young lady kept reciting the lines, and breathed a sigh of relief after reciting.

"If that's the case... then please bring the little prince's body back to the old prince." Mr. NPC bowed, as if eager to be the hands-off shopkeeper as soon as possible.

"No!" Xuan Yi stopped suddenly.

"Master Shangshu, what is the meaning of this?"

"A member of the royal family died in the ice hall. There are many doubts about this matter. We can't leave it alone. This matter is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment. I have no right to dispose of the body without authorization. Master Guo, do you want to push me to the forefront?"

Ruan Li immediately understood what Xuan Yi meant. They now need to connect various people, and the Ministry of Punishment is definitely a breakthrough point in it. The people inside are likely to have players.

"Master Shangshu is serious. It's just that there have been turmoil recently, and the Criminal Department is also at a loss. I think it's better to send our people to investigate this matter. It's better than throwing it to the Criminal Department. I don't know when the truth will be found out." Mr. NPC With a serious face, what he said actually made sense.

"Etiquette cannot be revoked, and rules cannot be violated. The Ministry of Punishment must report it. This corpse will be placed here first. I have the final say on this matter, and Mr. Guo can do it. Moreover, if there is any mistake in the corpse, it will be lost and destroyed. Master Guo, you have to bear all the blame." Xuan Yi's words were unquestionable, Mr. NPC's face turned blue, but he had no choice but to send someone to send the old prince and princess back.

After everyone had left, Ruan Li stepped forward and asked:

"What do you think is the purpose of that pair? If, like us, the ultimate way to win is to get rid of Xiao Zhi, then we have to do it before them."

"There is another possibility, what if the little prince was killed by someone from Huang Zhong's side?" Xuan Cheng said.

"So now they need to know who is the murderer who killed the little prince, and now we have to find clues through this line."

"Let's go and meet them."

"Act like an NPC."

At the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion, Minister of War and Scholar Zheng sent their subordinates to negotiate with the guards at the gate.

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War asks to see King Yu, please inform me."

Presumably the players inside were also eager, eager to get clues through the plot as soon as possible, so they invited the two inside without saying a word.

When the old prince saw the visitor, he hesitated for a moment, and decided to act first without being sure whether the visitor was an NPC:

"Master Shangshu, please come in, is there any clue about my son's matter?"

"No, I'm here to ask, little prince or prince Yu, can you have a grudge with someone?"

In the expected silence, the old prince recalled his own story line, and could only nod:

"There are too many."

"..."

Ruan Li couldn't wait any longer, this person was too dawdly, he hesitated and refused to say anything, so he had to go out on his own:

"My lord, I dare not lie. A few days ago, I saw this prince and that person enter the tavern together. It looks good!" Bing never tires of cheating.

Xuan Yi hooked his mouth and turned to ask the old prince:

"My lord, are you serious at this time?"

"What? What's the matter? What are you talking about?" The old prince looked confused.

"Then the official can just say it straight...Xiao Zhi." Again cheating.

Hearing this name, the old prince's eyes flicked around, but Ruan Li and Xuan Yi have already confirmed that this character is definitely related to Xiao Zhi!

"You mean...my son died because of Xiao Zhi?"

Xuan nodded.

"impossible!"

"How to say?"

"He and Xiao Zhi have no grievances or enmities, and they haven't even met each other!"

"How did the old prince know that the young prince and Xiao Zhi had no contact in private?"

"This..." It wasn't mentioned in the story line, how would I know!

"According to the report of the informant of the lower official, on the eighth day of last month, Xiao Zhi and the little prince met with Huaxiang in Housan Street, and their whereabouts were suspicious. Does the old prince really not know about this?"

"I do not know!"

"Then let me be blunt, could this be the case? Xiao Zhi contacted the old prince and the young prince one after another in private, and concealed something from you. You and Xiao Zhi reached an agreement, but Xiao Zhi didn't He didn’t achieve his goal, he got something or news that you wouldn’t give through the little prince, and killed him to silence him. Since then, no one knows what he did, and you just thought that the death of the little prince was an accident. Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhi is at large, you will never know for the rest of your life what he got through the little prince, whether it is fatal news, or if you are framed to death one day, you will not know what went wrong."

The old prince was stunned, he was trying to figure it out, Ruan Li was also stunned, looking at Xuan Yi.

"Come here." Ruan Li pulled Xuan Yi aside and asked softly:

"What are you talking about? Is it true?"

Xuan Yi shook his head:

"I guess, but it makes sense, doesn't it?"

"You guessed it?" Then you said it as if it was true.

"The game has a time limit. We have to be as fast as possible, and all the branch lines must be related to the main line. We have to lead this line to Xiao Zhi's line, otherwise we will be very passive."

"You know how to guess, do you study literature or theory?"

"……reason."

"Oh……"

Xuan Yi turned around and said to the old prince:

"The old prince thinks about it carefully. If there is anything missing, don't forget to send someone to the Shangshu Mansion to call the next official to say goodbye."

The two left the palace, and immediately decided to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to have a look. If the guess is correct, there must be some interesting people there. In the carriage, Ruan Li took out a sachet from his pocket, sniffed it before putting it in his nose, and said:

"The fact that this thing was placed on the deceased must be a clue. I don't know whether it is a cover-up or the truth. We should ask the old prince just now. Maybe he knows which girl his son has harmed."

Xuan Yi said with a smile:

"That's not necessarily true. As far as I know, the emperor intends to let the princess sent by Beirong to marry the young prince. We don't know what the old prince means, but this sachet is made of Suzhou embroidery. Can the princess of Beirong know how to embroider?" ?” Not to mention Su embroidery, it is impossible for her to know Shu embroidery, Hunan embroidery and Miao embroidery.

"Hey...it makes sense. In this way, if Xiao Zhi and the old prince have a private agreement, it may be related to this married princess."

"If it were you, would you be willing to let your son marry a foreign woman who might turn against the country at any time?"

Ruan Li narrowed his eyes and smiled, not knowing what he thought of, and said:

"Of course I don't want to, but if it's a man, I can consider it~"

"..."

"Hahaha, just kidding~" Ruan Li said haha, wanting to say something, suddenly the dynamic scene around him stopped, and the two of them were suddenly teleported out of the scene interface, and then, in the game hall, countless players were successively killed send it out.

"what happened?"

[Heroes Contest]: "The time limit for the first stop of the Heroes Contest 'Change of the Imperial City' is up today. Please gather here at the same time tomorrow. All the staff of "Stop War" wish you success, thank you."

The broadcast was repeated three times, and Ruan Li pouted:

"Ah, the Criminal Department hasn't gone yet, so today's time is gone."

"Don't worry, we are already fast, 90.00% of the players here haven't figured out the rules of the game yet." Xuan Yi comforted.

It's true, the players on the other side are clamoring for Wang Jinglin's team to kill and are still discussing in full swing.

"Okay, then I'll work on my thoughts today, you have a good rest, see you tomorrow." Ruan Li waved his hand.

Xuan nodded, and saw the heads of the two flashed twice at the same time, and then turned gray.

Ruan Li opened his eyes, took off his earphones, and stretched himself. Before he could yawn, he was interrupted by the ringing of the phone.

"Baby, do you miss me?" Xuancheng's lazy and magnetic voice came from the phone, as if he had just woken up.

"Aren't you going to work today?" Ruan Li asked.

"at work."

"I thought you were just getting up." Ruan Li unceremoniously satirized Xuan Cheng's behavior of going to work and sleeping.

"Are you at home?"

"Ah."

"I'll pick you up at noon."

"Ah? Where are you going?" Ruan Li was about to go downstairs to buy something.

"Have a meal."

"Oh."

"Hey, I'll give you an hour. It's nothing." The big-tailed wolf started to lure the little white rabbit again.
