"Forgive me for not agreeing."

Lancer, who hadn't participated in the crusade just now, said: "His Royal Highness has devoted himself to the alien world, and An Ning has ruled for more than a hundred years. If he can sit on the throne with only one identity, it is unacceptable to me. Compared with nothingness , I can't accept the Supreme King giving up his throne until he shows his ability to govern."

"……indeed."

"agree."

The knights responded in a low voice, their momentum was much weaker than before.

"This matter is actually very simple."

Jian Mingshu finally said, "I'm not here to fight for control, I just want Shu Yang to sleep well."

Rows of armored guards appeared neatly on the stairs, the gate, and even all the windows of the banquet hall.The entire banquet hall is now strictly guarded.

True, not even a fly can get out.

Jian Mingshu sat upright, curling the corners of his lips: "Tonight, we will come and find out who it is that disturbed the whole castle and made it uneasy."

"First of all, in order to avoid errors in information transmission, all the first discoverers at the scene of the crime please stand up and recount the entire case. If there are more than one first discoverers, two people are selected to retell the story, and the two cannot communicate with each other. Listening in, not communicating, for cross-validation."

Concise and simple order.

The maid fairy is relatively cooperative.Although the knight was a little reluctant, but the murder case was the first, he reluctantly cooperated and recounted it once.

The first victim, Allen, Faerie.The first to discover the human beech fairy.The first scene tower side.The cause of death is unknown.Unrecognizable, turned into a wisp of smoke - the state of a normal fairy after death, light smoke.

The second victim, Martin, Cavaliers.The first to discover the human maid Faerie.First scene bedroom.Cause of death: drowning.The clothes are disheveled and the socks are not taken off.The words "Avenger of the Deep Sea" were written in blood on the wall.Wu Shuyang revealed that the Iron Salmon left the scene after the incident, but this was not mentioned in the confession of the first discoverer.

The third victim, Ian, Knight.The first discovery is that there are many people.Chamber of Secrets.On the bed at the first scene, there were no traces of moving or blood on the ground.The cause of death was internal organs leakage, excessive blood loss, and sleep posture.The words "Avenger of the Deep Sea" were written in blood on the wall.There are very few conflicts between the two independent retellers, and the details complement each other, so there is no flaw for the time being.

The fourth victim, Mike, Cavalier.The first discovery is that there are many people.Chamber of Secrets.In the bathroom at the first scene, the cause of death was cardiac arrest, but the deceased was a mechanical heart, which had not been dissected without the permission of the family members, so the specific cause of death was mechanical aging or deformation, which is not yet known.Like the previous two victims, the mirror had the words "Deep Sea Avenger" written in blood on it.

Finally, the banquet hall was poisoned.

Obviously, the murderer targeted everyone at the dinner tonight, including Zui Ling and Wu Shuyang.

Judging from the results, the information given by Wu Shuyang is basically accurate.

"—First of all, I have something to say about Allen. At that time, I was in Samsara Town. But unfortunately, the people who can testify to me are gone." Ming Shu first explained his situation suspected.

Several knights were stern, and they didn't seem to believe it.

"——Instead, I want to ask a few questions. There are many witnesses to the last three victims, but Allen is the only one whose face was completely changed. "

All eyes, like knives, were directed at the beeches.

Beech panicked: "Your Majesty the Archdruid, I... I can confirm that it is Allen. I saw him approaching the tower, and then I heard a strange sound and chased after him, and then—"

"Why do you think he is Allen?" Ming Shu emphasized again.

"Allen is that suit. When I passed by, I could see it clearly."

A gust of wind accompanied the green leaves. The leaves circled around the beech, and instantly stuck to his small body, turning into the suit that Allen often wears.

"—Now, are you Allen?"

There was silence.

This obvious blind spot has never been raised before.

Jian Mingshu was very satisfied with the deterrent effect from breaking the game, he snapped his fingers, and the beech returned to its original state.

"Okay, I don't mean to blame you. This matter cannot be falsified but also cannot be proven, so we will put it on hold for now."

He then asked: "The remaining three victims, who are they usually best friends with?"

"We were on good terms with each other," one knight recalled. "Martin...was better than Iron Salmon, and Ian and Mike were not bad, and we were actually on good terms."

"It's so good, can I lie on the same bed?" Jian Mingshu asked.

"This...probably not. Maybe Martin and salmon..." The man felt that this question was a little awkward, and he answered very reluctantly.

"Shut your mouth, Philip!" cried Iron Salmon.

The man shut his mouth knowingly.

Jian Mingshu: "Who is responsible for the security here."

Lancer raised his hand: "It's me."

"If I start from the second floor and sneak into the third floor without being noticed by anyone, is it possible?"

Lancer said without hesitation, "Impossible. We have many—in short, impossible."

He suddenly realized something: "But now, the west corner building where you live is not patrolled. Your lord said——"

"Yes. I said that the west corner building will be handed over to me. But this is also after the murder." Wu Shuyang said calmly.

Ming Shu looked up at him.

Sure enough, he drove away the fairy, and in the afternoon, he said that he was not unreasonable.

"Then, let me put it another way. If all the members of the Knights Order and even the people in this banquet hall die, who will benefit?"

"I'm afraid you don't like to hear this, Your Majesty the Archdruid."

Steel Salmon jumped: "The knights are unlucky, and you are the one who benefits."

Jian Mingshu: "..."

This point, he has vaguely figured out a thing or two from the conflict just now.

The arch druid at the center of worship and the supreme king at the center of power... It is understandable that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

"Except for me?"

Owl adjusted his glasses: "I'm afraid, there is only the one sitting on the table."

"What are you doing? What are you talking about?" Zui Ling rolled his eyes, "Plastic chicken, you are evil, you are all dead, what good is it for me?"

The owl gave him a scrutinizing look, and didn't bother to answer.

"...Oh, I understand." Drunken Ling nodded, "You think that I need to use this method to torment you if you insist on not retreating from the Miracle Land?"

"To tell you the truth, don't think too highly of yourself. Retirement is to give you face. If I directly send troops down, don't tell me that you have suffered a lot. Say it - it's not good, tell me, right?" Zui Ling pulled The corner of his mouth curled up, and a sneer appeared, "After all, we are the team that defeated the demons. I don't know which of your goblins with red fruits and green leaves is more powerful than the demons?"

Looking at each other, the owl didn't answer.

Jian Mingshu pondered for a moment.He gave Wu Shuyang a look.

The armored guards beside the High King sprang into action, crisscrossing their spears, forcing the aged Skeleton King Emperor against the pillar.

"What are you doing!" A group of knights stood up immediately.

"Let go of His Majesty the High King!"

"He is the supreme king of another world, you have no right to do this!"

Gala.

The long sword that had just been suppressed was unsheathed again.

A group of knights stared at the seemingly gentle person on the crystal throne.

"Now, let go, High King." Lancer gritted his teeth.

"You are not allowed to insult our king!!"

Bang.Lancer's long sword plunged into the ground in front of the throne.

deadly threat.

A cloud gradually accumulated in the air.

Lightning lingers in the clouds and quickly spreads across the entire zenith, and the sky thunder is fantastic, flashing like an upside-down galaxy.

A beam of light arrows went straight down, and a stone sculpture at the gate was instantly smashed to pieces.

"Quiet."

The lightning that cracked everywhere showed a powerful force of nature.

And Jian Mingshu sat on the crystal throne, he looked gentle and calm.

He lowered his eyes, pulled out the long sword in front of him, and threw it to Lancer casually.

When the sword fell to the ground, it made a warning sound.

Jian Mingshu glanced lightly at the knights present, "I think everyone is a little out of order."

"Now, with Tianlei watching, I hope the communication can be more efficient. Are you right, Shu Yang?"

"You are always right, my lord."

Wu Shuyang gently raised his hand, stroked his chest, leaned over, and saluted respectfully.

The devil and the archdruid should be two opposite sides, but they seem to be quite in harmony with each other, even a little... weirdly intimate.

Several knights exchanged a strange look.

Deterrence can bring a moment of peace.

But if the following reasons are not convincing enough, it will only rebound several times.

"Serial homicide cases, under normal circumstances, are based on similar homicide purposes—whether it is a hobby, frustration, or self-reflection, most of the victims will show significant uniform characteristics."

Jian Mingshu glanced roughly, and everyone listened seriously. He continued to analyze: "The four victims actually have a lot in common. First, the private space was victimized. Except for Allen, almost all the bedrooms, bathrooms, and bathrooms It is a private space; this means that if the murderer is not disguised, he or they should trust each other quite a lot, and even have a relationship that can sleep in the same bed or share a bath."

He felt Wu Shuyang's hand on his shoulder inexplicably strengthened.

"Second, a secret room or a non-strict secret room. Generally speaking, why does the murderer need to spend so much effort to create the illusion of a secret room?"

"To confuse everyone and make yourself less likely to be caught?" the owl replied.

"Half right." Jian Mingshu nodded appreciatively, "What do you think? Shu Yang."

Wu Shuyang: "False alibi."

Jian Mingshu appreciated it quite a bit, and he went on to say: "Actually, the most fundamental reason for creating a secret room is that the murderer is among us. Therefore, he needs to use the secret room to create a focus and clear his suspicion. After the secret room murder , Many key things will be ignored instead. Everyone focuses too much on the two aspects of "is it a secret room" and "how did the murderer escape?" Subconsciously, everyone will think that there is no second person in this room except the victim, but instead We won’t speculate too much about suspects. Therefore, creating a secret room is creating a perfect alibi.”

"To sum up the above two points, the murderer is someone you are quite familiar with. In order to cover himself, the murderer deliberately created the focus of the secret room."

Iron Salmon asked: "But even if his motive is so, you still can't explain how the murderer escaped from the secret room."

Jian Mingshu smiled: "Why do you think the murderer has escaped?"

He casually picked a knight, who was one of the repeaters of the third Chamber of Secrets case: "Your retelling was accurate and neutral just now, I would like to ask, do you remember who broke into the door with you? ?”

"Lancer, Philip...I think there are quite a few people, including this envoy from Fengdu Prison." He pointed to the drunken spirit sitting on the table.

"What about you? Remember who?" he asked another cross-reteller.

"Your Majesty the Archdruid." The man nodded, "There are too many people, but it should be consistent with what he said."

The door was suddenly knocked open.

A few armored guards came in with clanging bells and lined up by the door.

The cold wind and the sound of thunder and lightning quickly drilled in, and the nearest owl closed the door cursingly.

This small episode is over, and everyone returns to the topic again.

"Okay, I would like to ask, when the door opened just now, how many armored guards walked in?"

"twelve."

"Eleven?"

The owl counted cautiously: "...Maybe thirteen."

"So, that's the problem."

Jian Mingshu took the lead: "The door opened, the cold wind and lightning attracted your attention, and you didn't have time to think about how many came in. When you react, maybe the number of guards has changed. The guards who came in just now are twelve."

"No. Now there are thirteen guards at the gate." The owl counted again.

Jian Mingshu smiled.

One of the guards slammed back and stood on the left side of the gate—a place that would be blocked by a huge door panel after opening the door.

"So, do you understand? The moment we rushed in, everyone was tense, even flustered, and had no time to take care of some details. But at this time——"

The armored guards slowly walked out from behind the door and joined the group of guards at the door again. "That's why he deliberately lured you to the secret room."

Jian Mingshu presented his own conclusions.

The owl suddenly realized: "You mean, the murderer locked the door from the inside, hid behind the door, and deliberately waited for everyone to knock the door open before joining the crowd?"

"Yes." It was actually Wu Shuyang who agreed.

Drunk Ling: "In other words, when we rushed in, the murderer was standing at the end...staring at the rest..."

"My archdruid." The owl kowtowed one after another.

Steel Salmon shudders a bit.

"I think, based on this, it is more proof that you are deliberately targeting the High King." Lancer insisted, "Everyone in the room can testify that the High King was not present when Ian and Mike died. The scene. What do you think? Your Majesty the Archdruid."

Although his words were respectful, his tone was extremely mocking.

Jian Ming Shu Yun Guo smiled lightly.

"Let's put this question aside for a while."

"No! Please answer immediately!" Lancer stood up immediately.

In the hall, the originally warm and dim candlelight instantly turned green.

The karmic fire swayed, pulling everyone out of the dangling ghost shadow.

A great pressure came from nowhere, and the knight who stood up was firmly pushed back to the stool, and green flames rose from the ground immediately, forming a fire cage to imprison him.

"Be quiet and be polite."

Wu Shuyang's voice was not loud, but word by word was clearly conveyed throughout the audience.

"I think you can finish listening to the following part first." Jian Mingshu said, "The knight just now—I'm sorry, what's your name?"

"Lancer."

"Lancer. This Lancer knight just mentioned that in this castle, it is impossible to walk freely without being discovered. If you want to walk freely under this premise, then there are the following three There are two possibilities: first, he can be invisible; second, he can come and go freely, no one dares to block, let alone suspect; third, multi-person cooperation or he can disguise himself as anyone. Smart owl, what do you think , is my analysis correct?"

The owl pushed his glasses: "I think your deduction is quite wonderful, Your Majesty the Archdruid."

"Then now, we conduct reverse reasoning on these three possibilities."

Jian Mingshu propped up his fingertips and calmly glanced at everyone.

During the reasoning process, he looks wise and capable, and he is a kind of charming and sexy.

"First, let's say he can be invisible. I'm not familiar with everyone here. I don't know. Does anyone have this special ability?"

Everyone shook their heads.Of course he knew that Shu Yang had a special cloak, but he trusted Shu Yang, so there was no need to trouble him at this time.Jian Mingshu chose to hide.

"Second, assuming he is free to come and go, no one stops him, and no one dares to suspect—"

Jian Mingshu glanced at everyone's faces, but he did not elaborate: "Let's put this aside for now."

"Third, it may be easier for a group of people to commit crimes than a single person's disguise—but this is contrary to the information provided by Lancer. It is not possible for one person to walk through the castle, and it is even more impossible for multiple people. Disguise In terms of disguise, temporarily put it on hold. It means—”

Ming Shu's gaze fell on the Supreme King's skull.

"This is just your inference, you still don't have any evidence—"

"The High King has no motive to kill us," said one of the knights. "As we have been loyal to him, the High King has loved us."

The High King looked at the knight with satisfaction and nodded.

The corners of Jian Mingshu's lips curled up slightly: "——motivation, I think it's better to wait for him to say it himself. I hate groundless speculation, and I only believe in reasoning based on facts."

"But Allen died outside the castle. In your statement, you didn't mention Allen at all."

"You're right." Jian Mingshu nodded, "Originally I had no evidence. The problem is that he exposed himself in the case of Allen."

"What do you mean?"

The armored guards picked up their spears, and the High King was forcibly pulled off his blindfold.
