After hearing the astonishing words spoken by Dia Firefinch, Mo Shi was only slightly surprised for a moment.

He didn't expect the other party to say this, but it wasn't without speculation.

"You're lying. Mo Shi calmly pointed out.

The wolf's eyes narrowed slightly.

If it's the body of a dog's head, I'm afraid it will show its fangs at this time.

But the girl just "tsk".

"Why do you say that?" she asked, "and why do you say I'm lying?" ”

Mo Shi is not in a hurry to adapt to the other party's topic, which is one of the techniques to control the pace of the conversation. Instead, he asked, "Assuming I believe your story, what kind of story are you going to tell me next?"

"I hate Pamu Crow. True disgust. Every time he kissed the back of my hand or forehead, I felt like I had been splashed with sewage. ”

Mo Shi did not show surprise.

"Why?" he asked.

"He's. The girl's eyebrows furrowed tightly, and she covered the tip of her nose with a handkerchief, "All kinds of smells are mixed together, and they are simply indefatigable." He thinks it's something to show off? Some people might think it's 'manly,' but I never think so. ”

"That's why you're going to kill him?"

"If you kill him, you don't have to marry him, isn't the reason very simple?"

"That's not how things work. Even people like me know it, and you will only know better. Mo Shi sighed softly, and the sound of the wind outside the window echoed in the stone walls around him, "As the daughter of a duke, it is impossible for you to kill your fiancé by yourself." Besides, you're ......"

"I am a woman, and a dominant, humble and quiet Beya. Dia looked at him and said, "Therefore it is impossible for me to kill a strong man of the prime of life, Afaya." ”

Mo Shi looked away from the dagger on the table and looked at the window.

He didn't want to make eye contact with Dia Firesparrow's shining, cold eyes.

He was afraid that he would be in a mess and at a loss.

"There have been fights. "After examination, it was found that there had been a fight with the suspect before Pamu Crow's death. It didn't last long, and it wasn't so intense that it left visible hair and skin tissue—at the very least, the other man had slammed Pamu's head into a chair, a windowsill, or a floor...... In any case, it is too difficult for a woman who is alone. ”

"He was drunk, wasn't he?" said Dia.

"Miss Dia...... Let's talk more directly in the way of smart people. Even if you were there, there must have been accomplices - not to mention, according to our investigation, you had countless witnesses that night, valets, squires, guards, you were the daughter of the Duke, and even if you really had a motive, you had no chance. ”

"Mr. Moshi, you are implying that Ember Waping is my helper. ”

The girl expertly spun the dagger around her fingertips.

The beast's sharp nails shimmered like the blades.

"Or you can tell me another name, a suspect we haven't investigated yet. ”

Dia Firesparrow shook her head.

"If it is because I have an affair with Ember Waping, he is very infatuated with me, and I am disgusted with Pamu Crow, so I ordered him to kill him. If this is the truth, what are you going to tell my father—" The maiden smiled without pleasure, raised her head and exclaimed, "Ah, my proud, great father, Alfaia, Duke, lord......"

Mo Shi was silent.

Ember Waping –

He recalled the young man sitting in the library reading a book.

He also remembered that the other party led him down the side door stairs down the tower.

Although Mo Shi didn't know him, he also knew that he should be a sensitive, elegant, and somewhat innocuous and proud young man. It was a scholar, a man of letters who lived on the ground with ideals rather than just on the ground, and because of that, he would expect pure love.

Otherwise, why should you fall in love with someone you can't be with?

If you continue to think deeply, you will shape Ember Waping into a plump and fresh person...... Mo Shi gradually felt pain. He didn't want to be a dispossessor.

But—

"If that were the case, I would have told the Duke that Ember Wapin, out of pathological jealousy, had murdered Lord Pamu Crow. But your assumptions are hypothetical, not true, aren't they?"

Dia Firefinch looked a little irritable.

She began to pace around the room.

She stepped on the carpet barefoot, her furry claws in contact with the fur carpet with barely a sound.

"Tell me why you are judging this way. She commanded.

"Since you want me to be a smart person, I try to do it too. So let me get straight to the point, I know that Pamu Crow has an illicit relationship with your personal maid 'Lina'. ”

Dia's footsteps snapped.

She turned her back to Mo Shi and only resumed pacing after a moment. She stepped on the light of the fire.

"The source of this news is the Mistress of Mr. Pamu, on the side of the Crow family. "And your other maid, Mo Shi thought, but of course wouldn't say it, "I don't think you have to make any more excuses in this matter. ”

-

In the early morning of the same day, the maid who came to Mo Shi's room early in the morning did tell Mo Shi enough weighty news.

Here's what she said:

"I shouldn't have ...... But I am not only a servant of Miss Dia, but also a servant of the Duke of Firesparrow, and I dare not say it. ”

"Tell me what you know, don't worry about whether you dare or not. Mo Shi soothed her. But in reality, he felt that he was not telling the truth, but just using words.

But this sentence clearly reassured the young maid a lot.

"My lord, believe it or not, these are some of the truths I know, and the speculations that the truth has brought me. These speculations keep me awake and sleeping, and I have to take away the confusion from me from adults like you......"

Mo Shi realized that his role in the eyes of these servants was that he was the new favorite of the duke's retainers, and that he was a noble lord who stood tall. And that did give him a sense of responsibility.

He hoped that he would not disappoint the maid in front of him.

"I haven't been serving Miss for a long time, and I'm still young," she said, "but I'm one of Miss Lady's personal maids after all, and I always know some things by accident." I'm a vulgar person, please forgive me for my confusing words......"

The girl's story is indeed fragmentary, but Mo Shi quickly stitched together the story that the girl wanted to express:

According to the maid, she had noticed early on that Miss Dia and Ember Waping were close, that they had a lot in common, and that Miss Dia would smile more when they talked.

Later, from one day onwards, when Miss Diya met with Ember Waping, she often withdrew from others.

Usually she would leave only her personal maid named Lina with her, and let the other servants leave the second floor.

The scandal about Miss Dia and Ember Waping also came out from this.

"Do you think that's true?" asked Moshi.

And the girl shook her head, and continued:

In the month when the Marquis of Autumn Crow led his eldest son and retainers to propose marriage, many parties were also held.

Miss Dia doesn't like Pamu Crow, almost everyone can tell it. But despite this, she did not express her dissatisfaction at that time and agreed to the marriage.

However, after the third day of dinner, Miss Deya's attitude changed dramatically, and she screamed and wept in the room, and her resentment and scolding of Pamu Crow could be heard through the door.

"And on the night of the third day of the feast, I saw Lina stumbling back. She smelled of blood, wine, and the male Efaya......"

Lina is a maid and a commoner among snowwalkers.

The civilians were all Beya after the division.

The threads seem to be pieced together.
