160. Homicide
I'm really afraid of something.
Du Yuhan rolled his eyes secretly, although he was very unkind to the comers, he still had to do enough courtesy. He turned around and saluted with a smile, "Good evening, Mr. Ruskin." β
"Well, good evening." Ruskin raised his nose arrogantly, and seemed to be very useful to Du Yuhan's respectful attitude, "Was Mr. also summoned because of the murder?" β
"Exactly."
Then, he turned his head to the captain who came up and made a serious accusation, "How do you do things?" Mr. Du Yuhan is a distinguished guest of Lord Regent, how can he be a murderer? Even before the investigation is clear, you disturb Mr. to rest, in case the adults blame him, can you afford it? β
Rubbing the cold sweat on his trouser leg, the captain smiled awkwardly, "Your Excellency, please calm your anger, and the small one thinks that the stability in Toba City for many years depends on Your Excellency's hard work." But the murder in recent days has made the townspeople panic, and the subordinates must bring the murderer to justice, which is also to protect the fruits of your labor, sir! β
However, the flattery of the other party did not make Ruskin feel much better, and he snorted impatiently.
Tomorrow is an important event for Master Jesse to enter the semi-finals, and I heard that the princess will also come to watch the game, which means that Lord Regent is likely to be there as well. Then, as the referee, you must personally explain the game for adults.
If you don't have a good rest tonight, and the director is not in good shape tomorrow, is this worth it?!
Thinking of this, Ruskin was in an even worse mood
"Don't give me nonsense, aren't you all the murderers tied up now? What else is there to grind? I think, hurry up and dispose of it. β
John must have heard this, and immediately his blood faded, and his wide eyes were full of horror, "I'm not a murderer!" I didn't kill people! You have no proof! β
"Evidence? Do you speak of evidence in front of me? Ruskin laughed, not shying away from it, "Why is it difficult to have proof?" Just think about it, don't want it. β
"What......" The other party's reply made John stunned, as if he didn't understand what it meant.
Ruskin sneered, "What murderer would admit that he killed someone in the first place?" Didn't you confess your sins later? It just depends on the length of time. β
With that, he gave the captain a look.
The captain nodded and echoed: "Your Excellency's lesson is that the little one will definitely use all means to make this kid confess the facts of the crime." β
John, who understood, turned pale and his lips trembled, "No...... You can't ...... like that."
"You kid doesn't look like a good person. In addition, he is a mongrel with no father and no mother, and he must have been ruthless for the prize money of the competition, so the first two players were killed by you. Ruskin waved his hand to the case, "Captain, you know what to do now, right?" β
A hint of disgust flashed in the captain's eyes, but it was quickly disguised by a flattering smile, "The little one understands." β
"You're squirting blood!" With a loud roar, John angrily rushed towards Ruskin, but was crushed to the ground by the guards around him on the way. He struggled desperately, and could only stare at the bloated man in front of him, his eyes full of hideousness. "You bastard! Let me go! β
Crouching down carelessly, Ruskin laughed at the other party's indiscretion, "Tut-tut, captain, look, this person is pure and harmless on the outside, but his eyes are so vicious, he must be a vicious person." I see that you don't even need to interrogate, so let's execute it directly. β
The captain's face was full of embarrassment, "This ...... Your Excellency, I'm afraidβ"
"Mr. Ruskin, I'm afraid it's not the right thing to do."
Du Yuhan, who had been standing next to him silently, spoke lightly.
When Ruskin heard this, he immediately lowered his face. But the next moment, he showed a polite smile again, "Your Excellency, right now, there are all human and material evidence, and the motive for the crime is obvious, I don't know what you mean by what you mean by being inappropriate?" β
Du Yuhan chuckled, "The human and physical evidence that Mr. said is just the words of a family, and he has drawn conclusions without in-depth investigation." When the Lord Regent asked, the captain couldn't explain it. β
Hearing this, the captain nodded busily, "Mr. is very reasonable. β
"Your Excellency......" Seeing that there was still a turning point, John's eyes showed a look of anticipation. The other party's attitude is related to his life and death, and he can only pin his hopes on Du Yuhan now.
Seeing this, Ruskin's expression became even more unhappy.
In his opinion, in fact, he doesn't care who the murderer is, he just wants to save trouble and just pull an unlucky ghost to blame. can be refuted by Du Yuhan in person, and he suddenly felt that his face was dull.
I think he was always the same in front of these guards. It's good now, not only did he directly refute his statement, but also let those little minions who originally obeyed his words collectively echo it?
It's really against him!
"Your Excellency shields the murderer everywhere, I wonder if there is an ulterior motive?" Without waiting for the other party to respond, he showed a look of sudden realization again, "Oh! By the way, I remembered it below. Your Excellency seems to have a good relationship with this murderer! β
The left sentence is a murderer, and the right sentence is a murderer, and John is furious when he hears it.
Du Yuhan raised his eyebrows, gave him a reassuring look, and did not refute.
I saw Ruskin sigh earnestly, "Your Excellency, don't blame you for talking too much. I know you trust someone close to you a little more, and you want to clear his name. But this person's heart is unpredictable and difficult to guess. Some scum wants to get out, but they can say anything. You have to show off your tricks in the future, after all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs. β
"You! - "John blushed with anger and began to struggle again.
"Thank you, sir, for your advice, I will take it to heart." was scolded by the other party, Du Yuhan just pursed his lips and smiled, "But since we can be summoned here, it shows that we all have a motive to commit the crime, but some people's motives seem to be a little bigger." β
The dignified mid-level model master was said to be a suspect, and Ruskin's face immediately darkened.
Seeing that he was about to have a seizure, the captain hurriedly came out to play a round, "Your Excellency is serious, we are just acting in accordance with the rules and regulations." Until there is definite evidence, everyone is innocent. β
"But there's still suspicion, right?" Du Yuhan hooked the corners of his mouth.
"Uh, thisβ" The captain was speechless.
"Then what are you going to do?" Ruskin laughed angrily, "Arrest us all? And then torture to extract confessions? Or will they remain imprisoned until someone is willing to come forward and admit it? β
The captain was taken aback and quickly denied it, "Your Excellency, don't worry, the little one will never use such a despicable methodβah......"
The face of the builder of the "despicable means" turned blue and white for a while, and the horizontal flesh on his face shook and trembled.
Pressing the corners of his upturned mouth, Du Yuhan gave a mention, "In this way, Lord Captain, you will consult the case according to the process, as for how to deal with it after interrogation, I believe that Lord Captain will act impartially, right?" β
"Yes, yes, you can rest assured, the small one will be dealt with." Nodding his head and reassuring him repeatedly, the captain almost didn't swear to the god of light.
Du Yuhan smiled with satisfaction, and raised his eyes to look at the faintly angry Ruskin, "Your Excellency, look-"
"Since the gentleman has made all the arrangements, there is nothing to say here." Ruskin sneered, he glared at the captain fiercely, "Isn't there still a 'trial'?" Why don't you come over now?! I have an important event tomorrow, can you afford to delay it?! β
"Yes, yes, the little one will go immediately."
Under the respectful escort of the captain, he walked into the interrogation room, and did not forget to glance at Du Yuhan before leaving.
The polite smile on the corner of Du Yuhan's mouth disappeared in an instant the moment the other party entered the room, and he snorted coldly with disdain on his face.
The scum who deceives the good and fears the evil will be on the streets sooner or later!
"Your Excellency......"
He turned, and met a pair of clear, excited eyes.
After a few snorts, John spoke hoarsely with red eyes, "Thank you for believing in me, if it weren't for youβ"
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't believe you." Du Yuhan raised his eyebrows, "I'm just telling the truth, everyone who comes here is indeed suspicious." Since you say that you are innocent, then you can clear your suspicion through the normal way, and I just ask for justice. β
Although the other party's alienation and coldness made him a little disappointed, John quickly cheered up again, "Anyway, you saved my life." Thank you very much, Your Excellency. β
Du Yuhan finally couldn't help but yawn tiredly, waved his hand as a goodbye, and turned around and walked towards the coachman who had been waiting for a long time.
He was woken up in the middle of the night, and his sleep quality tonight was very bad. Thankfully, there aren't many events to be in charge of tomorrow, and after a little bit of mixing in the evening, it's even more relaxed.
So, Du Yuhan fell asleep peacefully, and didn't get up from the bed until nearly noon.
"Give." Placing the heavy letter paper in front of Du Yuhan, Kevin rubbed the throbbing corners of his forehead and filled himself with a cup of weak tea.
"Shoot! Deep Tiger uh! Trying to stuff the round noodles into his mouth, Du Yuhan raised his head to reveal his bulging cheeks.
Shaking his head dotingly, Kevin took a small sip gracefully. The fragrant liquid slid down his throat and he suddenly felt much more awake.
"How many events are there?"
"Xintian Haqiang, no pot less."
"When is the final?"
"Ten Heavenly Masters."
"So late?"
Du Yuhan shrugged his shoulders and continued to bury his head in the delicious lunch.
Holding a contest in the city is not only a great way to stimulate business, but also to promote the city. As the most interesting semi-finals, it is naturally the highest tide of the whole competition, and it is also the main means to attract foreign tourists. No ruler would let go of this great opportunity to let the game end so lightly.
The next matches were held every other day, and when it came to the semi-finals, it was three days apart. The event, which was supposed to end in two days, was postponed for nearly half a month.
Kevin sighed.
It is understandable that the organizer will arrange it this way, but from his standpoint, he can't help but feel irritated in his heart.
Recently, the energy in the city has been moving more frequently, although the day is calm, but every night, he doesn't need to use his divine sense to probe, he can feel a strange shadow energy, ready to move in the air.
Combined with David's message, there must have been a huge circle of magic in the vicinity of this royal city. Even if it is not clear what it will be used for, it is definitely not small in terms of the energy waves that are moving.
What made Kevin even more frightened was that these energies actually resonated with the magic in his body. In recent times, the Divine Binding Spell has been flickering on and off, and something unknown is on the horizon......
His eyes lit up, and he clenched the wooden cup in his hand.
This place is definitely not a good place to stay for long!
Seeing his lover's worried expression in his eyes, Du Yuhan licked the sauce stains at the corners of his mouth. Although Kevin didn't confess everything, he also understood that the other party just didn't want to worry about it. Even if they decide to be together, both parties still have to keep their own **.
What's more, he himself hid the biggest secret and didn't tell the other party......
He patted his shoulder with relief, "Don't worry, as soon as this game is over, we will leave immediately." In just a few days, there will be no problems. β
Kevin reluctantly tugged at the corners of his mouth, and he didn't know if he heard it, "By the way, has the city lord been looking for you recently?" β
Du Yuhan shook his head.
Since that day's secret conversation, the city lord has never asked anyone to talk to them, and even Lingston, who is a confidant, only a few polite words when he meets him.
Thinking about it, when the atmosphere was so tense at that time, no matter how angry Davy was and how he pleaded, Kevin was still unmoved, and any further entanglement would only waste time and make it difficult for both sides to get around.
"I guess I gave up, right?"
Half-lowered eyes muttered to himself, Kevin silently thought about something, "Have you given up?" That's good......"
After eating and drinking enough to wipe his mouth, Du Yuhan burped loudly, and noticed that the atmosphere was a little heavy, he showed a hearty smile, "Do you want to go to the market tonight?" β
With a blink of an eye, Kevin froze, "Bazaar? β
Du Yuhan nodded, "I've been here for so long, and I don't have time to take a good look at this place." It's rare to come here, and it's a shame not to visit well. β
Knowing his lover's worries, Kevin smiled, and just wanted to nod in agreement, but when he saw the big knitted red flower hanging behind the door out of the corner of his eye, he instantly pulled down his face.
ββ¦β¦ Don't go. β
ββ¦β¦β
Well, it's a real test of courage to go out with this.
Looking at the time, Du Yuhan stuffed the sorted Wen JiΓ n into the space ring. Before leaving the door, he thought for a moment and quickly bent down to imprint a light kiss on the corner of Kevin's mouth.
"I'm out of the house."
Kevin's figure froze, his blue eyes gradually deepened, revealing a faint smile.
"Be careful on the road."
After the other party led the door downstairs, he lowered his eyes to hide the happy love in his eyes, pursed his lips, and couldn't help but stretch out the tip of his tongue and lick the corner of his mouth, reminiscing about the unique temperature of his lover.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the spontaneous condensation of black light particles on his fingertips, and Kevin smiled meaningfully.
Is...... Self-control is getting worse and worse.
didn't know how much trouble his casualness had brought tonight, Du Yuhan looked at the large group of stubborn guards outside the door, and his mind couldn't turn around.
Why is the pick-up and drop-off team so large today?
Could it be because today is the quarterfinals?
Anyway, why is last night's captain of the guard here?
Just as he was in a circle, the captain took two steps forward and saluted respectfully.
"Your Excellency, please come with us."
Du Yuhan was stunned.
Walk? Where to?
"What's going on?"
The captain raised his head and stared deeply at the other party for a while, changing his previous flattery, and there was only vigilance and thick ...... in his eyes Fear.
"Lord Ruskin has been killed."
β¦β¦β¦β¦ Yes?
