"Where are the keys?"
Mieming looked at Suixue and Jian Zhaoshuang standing at the door and said with a smile.
"The chief came to see me just to ask this?"
Sui Xue's body stiffened when he heard this.
She looked up and met Mieming's burning gaze.
For a moment, I felt a little guilty about suspecting that he was a traitor.
Turning her head away awkwardly, she secretly comforted herself in her heart.
Well, no.
He shouldn't be able to tell that I suspect he's a traitor—
Bar?
Sui Xue's pupils trembled slightly, and she forced herself to change the subject in order to ease her guilty conscience.
"Yeah, I don't have anything else to ask."
"Also, I already have some ideas about this case, but I just want to confirm something with you."
Mieming raised his eyebrows.
[Mie Ming Favorability: -1]
Just as he finished perfunctorily responding, the notification sound of Mieming's favorability decreasing was announced.
"Really?"
Mieming snorted coldly, and the gloom in his eyes became even darker.
Sui Xue blinked unnaturally and sighed helplessly.
The scheming of this male beast is so terrifying that all his thoughts are hidden.
In this case, to deal with such smart people, it is better to be honest and speak frankly, and appear to be sincere.
She raised her eyes, her phoenix eyes were clear.
"Yes, I have other thoughts, but I didn't say it just now."
"Their thoughts were simple. They simply suspected you were the murderer who let Xuan Li go."
She paused and continued.
"However, since you didn't have the time to commit the crime, I have ruled you out."
Mieming curled the corners of his lips and his expression became even colder.
"Are you excluding me simply because I didn't have the time to commit the crime?"
So, her belief was because she believed in the facts, not because she believed in him.
To put it bluntly, if you are unlucky when the crime happens and have no alibi, wouldn’t you also be treated as a suspect?
Mieming clenched his fists secretly, and a wave of grievances surged in his heart.
We have been friends for more than 20 years, accompanying each other and sharing our hearts and minds. It would be a lie to say that I don’t like her.
As for whether she likes me or not, it doesn’t really matter. I just need to stay with her.
He didn't expect her to look at him more, but he couldn't accept that she was unwilling to give him even the most basic trust.
Looking at Mieming's almost broken expression, Suixue felt a little bit reluctant.
She reached out her hand to pat his shoulder to comfort him, but just as her palm reached his side, he turned his shoulder away.
I had to pull my hand back.
Jian Zhaoshuang, who was hiding behind Sui Xue, was so happy when he saw the two of them sulking at each other that he couldn't hide the excitement on his face.
He coughed lightly, stepped forward, and protected Sui Xue behind him, separating the two of them.
Then he immediately raised his eyes and glared at Mieming, questioning him.
"The master's suspicion of you is simply out of consideration for a superior. This shows that she is rational and intelligent! This is a good thing, and it's only natural."
"As for you, Mieming Military Advisor, as a military advisor, not only did you not properly share her worries, but you actually had the audacity to question your master!"
His words seemed frank and affectionate on the surface, but in fact they were sarcastic.
Not only did it invisibly widen the identity gap between Sui Xue as the king and Mie Ming as the minister, but it also directly ignored the friendship between the two, subtly alienating them from each other.
Every word is a gem, every sentence is full of irony.
He really has inherited Mingheng's true skills.
Sui Xue heard the hidden meaning in his words and became annoyed.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to scold, Mieming's cold voice interrupted him.
"The key is carried by this minister. The murderer will have no chance of completing the theft and returning it."
"So, Commander Sui Xue, are you satisfied?"
Without even asking a single question, he guessed Sui Xue's entire reasoning process and directly pointed out the key point.
What a smart brain.
Unfortunately, he has a bad temper.
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around coldly.
Without waiting for Sui Xue's response, he waved his sleeves and went straight back into the house, sitting behind the curtain.
He had a blank expression on his face as he casually made a cup of tea and started drinking it by himself.
He completely ignored the two people at the door.
They were neither kicked out nor invited in, leaving Sui Xue and the other two standing there in a daze, feeling extremely awkward.
Sui Xue was naturally unhappy to be left at the door like this.
She has a strong sense of self-esteem, so how could she like being treated like this?
She looked at Mieming and wanted to say something to him, but when she saw the perfect modeling behind the curtain, which was exquisite in every detail, all the unpleasant words were instantly stuck in her throat.
Never mind, this face really makes me not angry at all.
Sui Xue couldn't help but keep her eyes on him and looked at him for a while longer.
Jian Zhaoshuang saw that his lover's eyes were unwilling to fall on him, and he felt annoyed instantly.
He drooped his eyelashes and pinched his sleeves.
I was determined to attract more of Sui Xue's attention.
Of course, it would be even better if we could ruin the relationship between her and Mieming.
Hiding the excitement in his eyes, he blinked lightly.
Those clear and moist starry eyes looked at Sui Xue and said.
"Military Advisor Mieming seems to be angry with his master."
After saying that, he bit his lower lip, lowered his head as if in embarrassment, and grabbed Sui Xue's clothes and acted coquettishly.
"Could it be that Military Advisor Mieming is taking his anger out on his master because he harbors ill will towards his subordinates?"
"That subordinate truly deserves death."
As he spoke, he plucked up his courage and slowly interlocked her fingers with his fingertips until he held her entire palm in his hand.
While holding her hand, he observed and tested her expression.
Seeing that she showed no resistance, he tightened his grip a little and continued to sow discord.
