Chapter 711: Trouble Comes to the Door
Just when everyone was congratulating Lin Ruoran and Pan Wei, a team of guards rushed in, provoking everyone to look at them.
The queen wrinkled her eyebrows in displeasure, and someone immediately stepped forward to ask what was wrong.
The captain of the guard stepped forward and greeted the queen: "Your Excellency, the Duchess is dead. ”
The crowd was in an uproar, incredulous, and full of horror.
The queen exclaimed in surprise: "Dead, how dead?"
"Strangled to death. The captain of the guard took out a watch: "We were with the Duchess and found this watch, and the Duke said that it was not the Duchess's. ”
The angry and sad Duke squeezed out and burst into tears at the queen: "Please also ask the queen to call the shots." ”
The queen's face was cold, at her banquet, this kind of thing actually happened, the other party was really arrogant.
The Duchess, who was a member of their royal family, did not expect to die at her banquet, which was to be explained to them anyway.
What's more, today is the Queen's birthday, and it is not only the royal family who is here, but also the envoys of other countries.
If it is not handled well, I am afraid that it will be looked down upon by other countries.
Everyone came into the hall and whispered about the murder.
Lin Ruoran frowned slightly and asked Pan Wei, "What do you think about this?"
"What do you want to say?" Pan Wei tilted his head to look at her.
Lin Ruoran frowned and pursed her lips: "Why do you want to say something?" I just want to say that at the queen's banquet, if someone dares to kill someone, it must not be premeditated, but a temporary uprising to kill people. ”
"That's right. Pan Wei looked at the Duke who was in tears, "There is a better chance of acquaintances." ”
Lin Ruoran opened his mouth wide, looked at the Duke in disbelief, and his voice was low: "Can't you?"
Pan Wei also lowered his voice: "I'm just saying this, what is the truth, they have to investigate, it's none of our business, let's not think about it." ”
Yes, yes, but she felt it had something to do with them.
With the Queen's consent, the captain of the guard asked everyone if anyone had ever seen the watch.
The captain of the guard said, "The queen said that if anyone knows this watch, he can be rewarded with 100,000 dollars." ”
The people who come here are either rich or expensive, and 100,000 US dollars is really not much.
But the victory is what the queen said, and it is very face-saving.
Seeing the watch, Pan Wei's pupils shrank sharply, touched his chin, and stood up: "That watch is mine." ”
In the silent hall, Pan Wei's voice was very loud.
The crowd was in an uproar.
The queen was stunned.
The Duke pounced on Pan Wei, his eyes were red: "You killed my wife, I want you to pay for your life." ”
Pan Wei smiled coldly: "Don't shout to catch a thief." ”
"What do you mean?" the Duke withdrew his hands, stopped his feet in time, and pointed at Pan Wei who jumped like thunder, "If you don't make your words clear, I will fight with you." ”
"The table is mine, I admit. Pan Wei swept at everyone lightly, "But who said that the watch is mine, and the person is killed by me." ”
"But who said that the watch is yours, and you didn't kill the people?" the Duke asked him rhetorically.
Pan Wei glanced at him: "The deceased can speak, let the forensic doctor come, and it will be solved." ”
The Duke revealed: "How can I let them see my wife's body." ”
"It's more like a thief shouting to catch a thief. Pan Wei's tone was very impatient, "I don't want to get involved in your business, don't drag me in." Otherwise, you will bear the consequences. ”
Lin Ruoran's heart jumped, she knew that Pan Wei was angry.
Hurriedly grabbed him: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I'll be by your side." ”
Pan Wei looked at her: "I'm not angry, I just hate this kind of thing." ”
"I understand, I understand. ”
Lin Ruoran also hates this kind of thing that makes something out of nothing, and everything is involved, and they shouldn't come to today's banquet like the queen.
Any person here pulls it out, it's not what they want to offend.
"Tell me, then, where have you been for the last two hours?" the captain of the guard continued, "we didn't see you in the hall or anywhere else. Excuse me, where have you been?"
The Duke snorted heavily: "Your Excellency, please make the decision for my wife." ”
The queen frowned slightly and looked at Pan Wei and the others: "Where did you go in those two hours?
Pan Wei frowned, very displeased.
Lin Ruoran was also very angry, saying this, it was obvious that he didn't believe them.
Sure enough, this kind of place where rich and noble people stay should not come.
"I, Alice, can prove that Mr. Pan did not kill anyone. ”
As soon as Alice stood up, the crowd was in an uproar again.
"Alice!" said the Queen, relieved and worried.
The Duke was slightly stunned, glanced at Alice, and retorted: "Are you Princess Alice?
"For two hours, he was with his wife, with me, and treated my face. Alice pointed to her face and said, "He healed my face." ”
Everyone was even more in an uproar, everyone knew that Princess Alice in the royal family, her face was burned, but now she is intact.
Everyone was congratulating her just now, but they didn't expect her to come out as a witness.
Lord Duke sneered: "He healed your face, you will naturally speak for him." ”
Alice jumped to her feet angrily: "Why do you talk like this, my face is obviously healed by him." ”
"Who else can prove it?" said the Duke, "how can you shield them like this when they searched and didn't see them enter your room?"
"I ...... I didn't. With tears in her eyes, Alice looked at everyone, "I'm not lying, they really healed my face." ”
"It took two hours to heal his face, who believes this. "Princess Alice, he healed Hansen's leg first and then your face, and I have reason to suspect that he deliberately contacted Hansen first and then you, in order to attend the Queen's birthday banquet today, and assassinate my wife." ”
Lin Ruoran was dumbfounded, there was still this kind of crooked reasoning.
Pan Wei pinched his eyebrows: "What is the reason?"
"Because the Countess and my Lady are at odds, you assassinated my Lady in order to please the Countess. The Duke spoke up indignantly, "Because you have joined the Countess, enjoyed the riches she has given, and used them to climb to the Queen." I'm not wrong, am I?"
"The analysis seems to make a lot of sense. Pan Wei actually nodded, "The Countess and the Duchess are mortal enemies, and the Countess wants to kill the Duchess and make a show in front of all the ladies in the future, so please ask me to kill the Duchess." ”
"That's it. The duke was very long-winded, "Otherwise, why did the Countess invite you to live in Howard Castle? And why did she give you Yishui Castle? Why do you have so many diamonds? Everyone in our royal family knows that the Howard family has the most jewelry, especially diamonds, and you dare to say that the diamonds worn by Miss Lin were not given by the Countess?"
Sentence by sentence, like a fact, in front of everyone.
