Si Xinyi raised her eyes and looked at him: "Knight Yan, how can you say that?"
Yan Mofei pointed at the dead Guard Wang and said, "Look at him. Although his eyes are open, there is no hatred or resentment in them. Instead, he looks more like he is lingering and attached to something."
"Look at his clothes again. They're clean, stained only with medicine and blood. And judging by his hands and feet, and the clean floor, there's no sign of a struggle."
"If this poison wasn't fed to him by someone, then he drank it willingly."
Everyone looked at what he said and found that it was true.
Apart from the broken bowl, there was no sign of any struggle.
"King, Prince, how long did it take you from the moment you heard the screams to the moment you rushed here? The door was completely closed when you arrived."
Tan Bai recalled for a moment, then shook his head: "The door was half-closed. We arrived in a short time because we were discussing important matters in my bedroom."
"As soon as he heard the scream, the prince rushed out immediately. I was old and a step slower, but it was only a few seconds. After I came out, I didn't see anyone else coming out from here."
Looking over there, Yan Mofei nodded.
The king's bedroom and the princess's bedroom are at the two ends of the corridor, so you can immediately see what's happening at the door as soon as you come out.
But since Guard Wang did not struggle, he must have known the person who killed him. He could have screamed when he was about to die, which gave the murderer enough time to escape.
And if he drank the poison himself, it goes without saying that the perpetrator does not even need to be present at the scene.
Lu Zegun pointed directly at An Bingxia and said, "My sister must have killed him."
An Bingxia: "Brother, are you crazy? Why are you always pointing at me?"
"Because Guard Wang likes you, he will never resist if you ask him to commit suicide."
An Bingxia laughed angrily, "As a princess, I have countless guards who like me. If I wanted to kill them, I could have just ordered them openly. Why did I have to let him die in such an unclear way, and in my room?"
"I know. It must have been you, brother. Guard Wang has always been loyal to you. You let him commit suicide in my room just to put the blame on me because you were afraid that I would compete with you for the throne."
Yan Mofei looked extremely excited and started arguing. That was great, as it would make it easier for him to complete his task.
These people are currently trying their best to play their roles and have not expressed their true feelings, which makes it really difficult to tell who the real murderer is.
It’s the NPC lying on the ground. He hasn’t blinked for three minutes. Aren’t his eyes dry?
"Alright, you two, stop arguing. It's really beneath you as a prince and princess to be bickering like this."
Tan Bai snorted and put on the majesty of a king.
"Secure the scene. Everyone, follow me. Let me interrogate you."
Everyone followed Tan Bai and moved the battlefield.
Yan Mofei was walking at the end. He took a quick look and found that the NPC was still lying on the ground. His posture had not changed, but his eyes had closed quickly, and tears were quietly running down his temples.
It seems that he has reached his limit.
In the hall, the king and the prince testified to each other that they had been together all day.
The maid and the princess testified to each other that they were always inseparable.
The remaining two, Yan Mofei and He Tiantian, looked up at each other, indicating that they were alone and had no evidence.
Tan Bai used his status as king to say majestically, "I'll give you two a chance to defend yourself."
He Tiantian: "Your Majesty, as the Imperial Master, I am already second only to the King. Why would I bother with a guard? Besides, our Imperial Master and this guard have no connection at all."
Very good, and for very good reasons.
Everyone looked at Yan Mofei.
Yan Mofei spread his hands: "I don't have any evidence, but neither do you. The king and the prince are father and son, and it's normal for father and son to cover up for each other."
"And the princess and the maid, the relationship between you two is even worse. If one of you kills someone, the other will help bury the body."
"Your testimony is invalid."
"Besides, it's the Imperial Master. Who knew you were behind this? That's why you killed a guard."
Several people looked at each other. What he said made so much sense that they couldn't refute it.
Therefore, everyone cast their first round of skeptical votes towards Yan Mofei.
Yan Mofei: You guys are really stubborn.
Next is the search phase. It is also during this phase that Yan Mofei is most convenient and least convenient to take action.
These people seemed to have been prepared for this, so they searched in groups.
The king, the prince, and the princess formed a group of three. Yan Mofei was naturally assigned to the same group as the imperial preceptor and the maid.
This gave Yan Mofei enough opportunities, but it was also the most severe test for him.
If he could successfully take out those three, he would be able to complete three side quests at once.
But if he fails to do so, he will be discovered and voted out again.
After being elected unanimously twice, he was completely out of the game.
Yan Mofei: You dog director, this is giving me a difficult problem.
He stood up bravely: "I don't agree with this grouping!"
Several people who were about to leave turned around to look at him. What was wrong with him?
"Have you ever thought that this time, Guard Wang's death is not about one person, but about our entire country?"
Several people stopped and prepared to listen to his advice.
"What if there's a traitor among us, and killing Guard Wang is just a signal, and his goal is to destroy our country?"
"If we search separately, wouldn't that play into his hands?"
A few people thought it made sense, but did not adopt his advice and continued to do their own thing.
Yan Mofei sighed and accepted his fate.
He followed He Tiantian and walked towards the princess's room.
I have to say that the princess's room is luxurious and beautifully decorated. There are many screens in the middle. It seems that the princess likes screens very much.
"Let's search separately."
He Bingbing spoke, and then the three of them each chose a direction and began searching.
Yan Mofei was in charge of the left side. He thought that he would not be able to find anything good here, so he just symbolically looked through the drawers and wardrobes.
But he did find something, a paper ball package, which was now at the bottom of the wardrobe.
When Yan Mofei bent down to pick up the ball of paper, he felt a cool breeze blowing behind him.
He was surprised to find a pair of feet appeared behind him.
Those were a pair of women's feet.
Yan Mofei turned around and saw Si Xinyi standing behind him.
She put her hands behind her back and smiled slightly: "What are you doing here?"
Yan Mofei immediately hissed, "I accidentally knocked the princess's jewelry down just now. Please don't go and complain."
After saying that, he opened his hand, revealing an earring.
