For Moshi, this is undoubtedly an adventure.

In fact, the fragments of these books do not come from the dead Pamu Crow.

It was just a piece of paper that Mo Shi had picked up from the library.

He didn't say it to death, in order to be able to keep more room for maneuver. And when he noticed that the beast's pupils were constricting and erect when Dia Firefinch heard what he was saying, he was determined to step further—solid ground, or a dangerous swamp, worth the risk.

"We have reason to list Mr. Ember Waping as the highest-ranking suspect. ”

He said.

For a moment, Mo Shi could see the inquiring expression on Dia's face, like a sharp arrow looking for an arrow target.

If she had the face of a canine, she would be about to show her fangs.

And the human face is born to disguise and decorate.

"Everybody who has been to the library to read has probably accidentally picked up confetti," Dia Firesparrow quickly regained her composure, tapping her knuckles quietly, "You can't convict someone with something like this." ”

"Yes, you're right. ”

Mo Shi could hear Dino exhale softly, who was standing beside him.

They took their seats beside Dia.

"Yes. You're right. But we still need to investigate more about Mr. Ember. "Do you mind if I ask you some questions?"

Diya laughed, "I really have room to mind?"

"Sister......" Dino spoke, a sincere and childish plea.

This made Dia slightly frustrated.

She sighed and said, "Of course I'm willing to cooperate with all the investigations." ”

Mo Shi felt a little mean.

But it's never wrong to seek truth.

He asked, "Please tell me as much detail as you could about what you did and where you went on the night that Lord Pamu was killed." ”

He bit down on the word "detailed" because he had a hunch that she couldn't really be detailed.

It's going to be a war of words.

"Oh, it looks like I'm being treated like a suspect now. ”

Hearing her say this, Mo Shi realized that even a great minister like Norwen Fei who stood on the side of the dead did not have the courage to face the Duke's daughter. So she hadn't been questioned yet—as Moser had expected.

"Let's talk about it. He pleaded.

"These banquets were held for me, for my engagement. So of course I was always at the table at dinner, and then when the ball began, I was also speaking to a lot of people. But I didn't actually spend time with Pamu Crow at that time. He clearly liked his crow family more than the firesparrows. I don't know what he's doing. ”

"And then," Moshi asked, "what did you do after that?" ”

"I'm an engaged and unmarried woman and can't dance and talk to other men. So after a symbolic two drinks, I went back to my room. ”

"So you don't have any witnesses either. ”

Dia Firesparrow shrugged, raised her fingers gracefully, and pointed behind her: "I have many servants to testify. ”

The testimony of the servant cannot be simply believed.

Mo Shi didn't say anything.

He tried to look it another way: "As far as I know, on the night of the murder of Master Pamu, no one can testify to the whereabouts of Mr. Ember Waping—he claimed to have returned to his room after dinner to read. ”

"I guess he's not the only one who can't prove himself. ”

"Definitely. Mo Shi nodded, "But he is one of the few people who can not prove himself and has been to the library that day." ”

On this point, Mo Shi did not lie.

He knew that literature was a regular visitor to the library. The library has a keeper and a record book. Moshi has conducted a full investigation of the people entering and leaving.

According to the caretaker, Ember Waping spent his days in the library, concentrating on studying a book of myths and legends written in ancient scripts.

"Mr. Ember has a passion for books. The caretaker told Mo Shi, "When night falls, he attends the feast, and even comes back here to read by the oil lamp." ”

"Did anyone else come here to read during his time in the library?"

"How is it possible! Where else in the world would be like Mr. Ember, who does not attend banquets, but goes to study in a cold tower! There is no fireplace, and the night is terriblely cold. ”

"So, Ember never left the tower, until the Duke gathered everyone into the hall. ”

"I think so. ”

"Did you go to see him during that time?"

"I told Mr. Ember that if he was short of oil, he could come to my room and get it, and if it was too cold, I could send him some fur blankets. But he said it wasn't necessary. ”

"So you're not sure he stayed in the tower all night. ”

"Of course, I can't keep an eye on him. Mr. Ember is not a child, and I am not worried about him breaking books. Besides, he was a regular and a learned gentleman. ”

Moshi patiently recounted his conversation with the Administrator to Dia Firesparrow.

He didn't say anything to condemn, but he did hint.

If the other person doesn't know anything, then the hint will be just a bluff. But if the other side knows what the truth is, implication will mean negotiation and oppression.

Mo Shi was afraid of the futility, and at the same time realized that he was looking forward to the futility.

He was unwilling to believe that beautiful people and lovers of knowledge were criminals – out of human goodwill.

But Diya just said, "That's it." I need to visit my father. Mr. Moshi, if you have any questions, we can talk about it another day. ”

Then she got up and walked out, followed by two maids, who walked like crimson roses—as if she were the guests of the room.

Mo Shi and Dino looked at each other for a brief moment.

In the end, Mo Shi couldn't stand the young man's puppy-like moist eyes, and took the lead in turning his head away.

In the evening, Moshi and Shekka meet in a small restaurant, and both of them look unusually tired and unfocused.

"Tell me about your gains, head of the investigation team. Sheka rubbed his temples, not forgetting to tease Mo Shi.

"I should have let Xian. ”

"No gains?"

"Basically, no. Mo Shi replied ambiguously, "It's better to tell me about the situation on your side." Did you find anyone suspicious, Mr. Sheka, or did you find the 'female Oria'?"

"The former, it's hard to say. The latter, I did. ”

The swordsmanship instructor had a smug look on his face, but at the same time it was accompanied by a sigh.

Mo Shi cheered up: "Tell me, what kind of person is that." ”

"That's ...... Well, that is," said Sheka, looking a little embarrassed, and lowered his voice, "that's the wife of Lord Norwin Fei, or more precisely—the wife of the continuation." ”

It's really embarrassing.

Mo Shi couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

"So, the wife of Lord Novin Fei had an affair with Pamu Crow. Is there anything else she could say?"

"Now that I know her and Lord Pamu's ...... Gossip. And I'm the one of the firesparrows. She certainly wouldn't want me to publicize it. ”

"Definitely. Mo Shi was a little surprised, complimentary, "So you threatened her?"

Shekha looked at him with a slump in his face, obviously not in the slightest intention of joking: "No, I won't threaten Madame." ”

Mo Shi couldn't help but laugh and patted the swordsmanship instructor on the shoulder: "Okay." At the very least, I'm expecting her to make it clear whether she might have killed Mistress Pamu out of her mistress's jealousy. ”

"I don't think it's likely. It's too polite to say that, but I don't think she minds if Pamu Crow has another woman - theoretically, since she's Novan-sama's wife, she can't have higher expectations for Pamu than a lover. ”

"You're right. ”

According to Mrs. Norwen, her relationship with Pamu has been going on for more than two years. She didn't come with her last time she proposed, but she came with her engagement this time, so during this time here, Pamu also had an affair with her...... You know how hard I had to endure when I heard those words. And then, yes, she did say something that I felt needed to be looked out for—"
