The deceased was a middle-aged man in his forties.

According to his wife's confession, there was nothing wrong with her until she was awakened by a gust of cold wind and realized that the window had been opened for no reason. She just got out of bed and was about to close the window door, but she was shocked to find that her husband, who had been sleeping next to her, had collapsed on the bed covered in blood.

According to the coroner's report, the large hole in his chest was the main fatal wound. According to the traces at the scene, the man did not have any struggle when he died, he should have been killed by one move, and even the person next to the pillow did not notice anything unusual.

What's more coincidental is that this person is a contestant in tomorrow's competition, and his opponent is someone Du Yuhan knows.

"John, you say?" Vic smeared the bread with jam and put it in his mouth, "Is that guy a murderer?" ”

"How is this possible?" Du Yuhan wiped his wet hair vigorously, "He still has a game the next day, so he got out of bed early to rest, and he was sleeping at home at the time of the crime." ”

"You're not with him, how do you know?"

"Later, the escort team came to investigate and summoned all the suspected perpetrators to interrogate them." Du Yuhan, who was half an eyewitness, was naturally left behind, and he carefully recounted the situation that night, including the strange man in white he met later.

Of course, the meeting with the lord of the city and the extortion of confessions in the corner were omitted by him.

Even if he was very confused by the statement that Du Yuhan didn't sleep in the middle of the night and ran out to eat supper, given that the other party was a highly respected high-level modeler, it was impossible for him to do such a thing. The captain of the guard inquired about the situation a little more, and then politely sent the two back to the hotel before it was all daylight.

"But that poor boy has no half of his body, and he can't even make a model, so he can't do such a thing." Vic said inarticulately.

Du Yuhan rolled his eyes angrily, "Although he is an orphan, his enthusiasm for learning is very high, and his talent is good, and he must be very different after the guidance of a famous teacher." ”

Gifted orphans......

Vic was a little distracted.

――Aren't you just from a better family than me, what's the big deal?

- What do you say?!

――Do you dare to compare your skills with me?

-- Compare it! Whoever loses will recognize each other as a father!

“…… Vic? ”

Vic was startled, raised his head to Du Yuhan's puzzled eyes, and cleared his throat in disguise, "It's average." ”

Faced with Vic's disdain, Du Yuhan shrugged. Come to think of it, the "good qualifications" in the Wake standard are definitely not the only ones. Looking at the entire continent, it is estimated that there are few that he can see.

Inexplicably irritable, Vic pushed away the plate in his hand.

"Hey, when are you going to think about it?"

Du Yuhan paused, his eyes flickered a little, "There have been too many cumbersome things in the recent competition, and I really can't spare time to learn from you, let's talk about it after this time." ”

After living for two lifetimes, Vic was naturally clear about the other party's thoughts, and he snorted coldly, "Although I don't know what your thing came from, all your current power is inspired by that white bracelet." If you don't relearn the basics of the model, I don't think you'll be able to cry when that thing can't be used. ”

Du Yuhan silently nibbled on the bread and did not speak.

He naturally understood that what the other party said was the truth, but his current strength was directly linked to the modeling bracelet, if he started all over again, wouldn't he have to start from the beginning and slowly rise up? Hasn't his efforts been in vain this year?

Besides, he still has the windwood stone energy he stored before, how can he support him to complete the entire competition, right? When he wins a good place in the competition and his life is secure, it is not too late to study again.

After a long time of rumbling in his stomach, he remembered that he hadn't even eaten dinner yesterday. He reached out to take the bread slices in the bamboo basket, but when he crossed Vic, he was pinched by the other party's nose and dodged exaggeratedly.

Du Yuhan: ......

Depend on! He knew that he had been immersed in the sewer all night, and the smell on his body was a little irritating, but didn't he run to take a shower as soon as he came back?! What does this disgusted expression mean!

Although Vic's face was full of disgust, a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes as the other party approached.

"Who else did you meet besides the city lord?" He thought for a moment and added, "The people I also met at the banquet that day. ”

"Banquet?" Du Yuhan blinked.

The banquet that day was full of nobles and celebrities, and last night there was no one else except the city lord and Rington. "Why do you suddenly ask like that?"

Hearing this, Vic's brow furrowed even deeper.

When he first came back, the smell of the two of them was pungent and unpleasant, and after taking a bath, he felt a vague breath, both familiar and unfamiliar.

This energy fluctuation, he felt for more than twenty years, and even at the last moment of his life, it was directly buried in his body and merged with his soul.

This is thousands of years ago, I was reborn because I had a sandbox to preserve my soul, no matter how powerful the other party was, it is estimated that the grave is weathered, how can I run out and jump?

But what's going on with this faint breath?

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally shook my head.

Du Yuhan yawned, tossed all night without rest, and now his eyes are almost sticky. He strained his waist, said hello and went back to his room to catch up on sleep.

When he arrived at the venue in the afternoon, he was blocked by an unexpected person.

"Your Excellency, I heard that you were murdered last night and were summoned for questioning." Jesse stepped forward with concern, "Those people in the escort team didn't embarrass you, did they?" ”

Bewilderment? He was almost offered as a god, and he spoke softly, and even a little louder thought it was disrespectful, and it looked like he was embarrassing the other party.

"No, what's wrong?"

"Oh, it's good if you don't." Jesse smiled flatteringly, "That prisoner is so hateful!" Choosing this kind of time to commit a crime has made Your Excellency tired. ”

Waited for him here for a long time, just to ask this question?

It's true that I care, but I'm afraid the protagonist isn't him, right?

Du Yuhan raised his eyebrows, "It's okay?" Then I'll get busy—"

"Huh! Please, please wait! As soon as he heard that Du Yuhan was leaving, Jesse was anxious, and he didn't care about etiquette or impropriety, so he reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Seeing the other party's anxiety in his eyes, Du Yuhan secretly felt funny, "Is there anything else?" ”

Sensing his faux pas, Jesse quickly smiled and let go of his hand.

"I just wanted to talk to you about this murderer."

"Do you know the murderer and plan to identify him?"

"No, no, no, I don't know."

"What's going on?"

After hesitating for a long time, Jesse cleared his throat in disguise.

"Hmm...... I think that if you can kill people invisibly, the prisoner must be a master. ”

"Uh-huh."

"So, the average fool wouldn't be able to do that."

"I agree with that." Du Yuhan nodded seriously, "But there are too many suspicious people in this royal city, in my opinion, the potential people should be detained first, and then tortured one by one——"

"No, no, no! That was not what I meant! ”

"Huh?"

"I, I mean ......"

After seeing enough of the other party's ears and cheeks, Du Yuhan no longer teased the other party, "Don't worry, John was asked a few words last night, and then put it back." ”

Hearing this, Jesse breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment he snorted coldly, "I knew that this kind of high-IQ crime, that idiot would definitely not be able to do it." ”

"Do you wish he had done it?"

“…… Hmph, it's not good, he really did it. ”

It is indeed rare for people to be able to have such a hard mouth, Du Yuhan glanced at the other party, "You still have a game later, right?" Is it really okay to waste time here? Or don't you want to go head-to-head with John in the final? ”

"He's lucky this time, and he'll be screened out in the next one."

Although his mouth was shouting, his eyes were shining, Du Yuhan shook his head amusedly, and slapped the back of the other party's head, "Don't play tricks, don't hurry up and prepare." ”

Seeing the respectful and flattering Jesse go away, he looked down at the heavy information in his hand.

Alas, when will it end?

But to put it mildly, thanks to last night's murder, he enjoyed the most comfortable sleep in this time. Well, if some emergencies happen every day, I guess his workload will be much easier, right?

Unexpectedly, two days later, Du Yuhan's wish came true.

"In other words, at the time of the crime, you were working on Wen Jiàn all night, right?" The captain of the escort half-bent down and smiled respectfully.

Du Yuhan nodded.

Strictly speaking, the one who dealt with Wen Jiàn all night was actually Kevin, who fell asleep after eating supper. But he was sleeping soundly when he was awakened by a quick knock at the door.

Although it is for the sake of understanding the facts of the case, it is not helpful to ask a few words casually, and the elements of going through the form are greater.

"Okay, I see." The captain nodded, a flattering smile on his face, "I understand the situation, so I won't delay your time." Please wait here for a moment, and I will arrange for my subordinates to send you back at once. ”

"I'm sorry." Under the other party's nodding and apology, Du Yuhan stood at the door waiting for the carriage to pick up. Unexpectedly, he had just left the room, but he happened to encounter four or five guards entering in groups, and in the middle was a figure with a big tie, and the expression of waiting for the battle seemed to be escorting a felon.

The prisoner was caught? That's pretty fast!

He only glanced curiously, but his mouth opened wide in surprise.

"John?"

"Mr. Du Yuhan!"

Like a drowning man finding a life-saving driftwood, John's pale face showed an excited look, trying to break free from the guard's control and rushed forward, "Your Excellency, save me!" ”

Du Yuhan frowned, and looked sideways at the captain, "What's going on?" ”

John's call made the chief of the guard unhappy, but he was not good in front of Du Yuhan, so he only kept laughing, "Your Excellency, don't worry, we are just routinely inquiring about the case." ”

Routine inquiry? But no matter how you look at this battle, it looks like the prisoner has been found and is ready to be taken into prison.

"Then why do you need so many people?"

"Your Excellency doesn't know that this case is the same as the previous day, the same player who had an event on the second day, the same fatal wound, and it is very intriguing that the opponent of the deceased is the same person."

"Nope! I didn't kill anyone! ”

John couldn't help but anxiously defended: "I didn't know the other party at all, and I never knew that he was my opponent tomorrow, I couldn't kill people at all!" I pledge with my life! Excellency! You have to trust me! ”

"What a noise!" It seemed that he finally couldn't bear the noise of the other party, and the escort guard gave him an elbow viciously.

"Woo! - John's face turned pale with pain, but his bound body could not even bend over.

Du Yuhan tightened his eyebrows, "Mr. Captain." ”

Sensing the other party's unhappiness, the captain wiped a cold sweat and laughed, but just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by a mocking voice.

"What else do you ask? It's a waste of time. In my opinion, this guy is a prisoner. ”
