The one who rescued everyone was the deer father with a deep voice.

"Alright, my little girl, let's get ahead of the beginning—you can't leave all the characters to the puppet house, it's a little too boring."

"Okay, Dad." Lu Xiao Jie happily agreed, and then stretched out his hand and gently stroked the heads of the four puppets, and said sweetly, "You have to be careful, whoever hurts others or yourself again, I will put it on the line." ”

After speaking, Lu Xiao Jie's head left everyone's sight, and then the top of the tent was returned, and it seemed that everything had returned to its original state, but the room was still quiet, as if everyone was still out of shock and fear, and did not ease up.

In the end, Mo Xiaoyao stood up and said bitterly: "Let's hurry up and collect evidence, if we stay like this, don't say that there is not enough time, I'm afraid that those who watch the play will be unhappy." ”

This sentence was like a basin of cold water splashed on the head, so that the other three people were a spirit, and Robert was even more busy saying: "Yes, yes, yes!" Zoya is right, let's hurry up and move on, don't be stupid. ”

Seeing that those two people have become real "marionettes", Mo Xiaoyao always felt strange in his heart, although he knew that he would not die after failing to clear the customs, but he always felt that if he accidentally touched the taboo in this copy, he was afraid that even death would be an extravagant hope.

In short, be careful.

However, this also has advantages, players will not kill each other, and at the same time, they will have to guard against whether there are murderous demons around them while looking for clues.

And......

Mo Xiaoyao's heart moved, and while others were still looking at the clues, he quietly took a step closer to John, looked the ugly puppet with the line up and down a few times, and tentatively asked, "John, is your real name called Maiko Redden?" ”

"Yes." John no longer has the arrogance he had before, and replied mechanically in a very familiar system voice: "I'm Maiko Raidon, and John is my pseudonym." ”

After saying this, the other 3 people were stunned for a moment, and then they understood that John and Michelle, who were completely puppeteers, were all classified as NPCs, and they would be able to answer questions without touching the rules.

Everyone knows this, but if you can think of it first, you have to praise Mo Xiaoyao's flexible thinking.

Confirming that they would not lie as before, the next step was easy, and the four of them surrounded the two puppets with excited faces, ready to ask all the known clues.

Because Mo Xiaoyao was the first to discover this secret, she got the right to interrogate by default, and the rest of the people had no opinion on it.

But before asking for clues, Mo Xiaoyao decided to ask something else first: "John, did you get the full script?" Michelle, what about you? ”

John and Michelle shook their heads at the same time and replied in unison, "I didn't get the full script." ”

Probably inspired by Mo Xiaoyao, Suzanne on the side suddenly asked first: "What is your main quest?" Are any of you murderers? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the two puppets, who had been looking ahead, turned their heads sharply to look at Susanna, their necks making a stiff "clucking" sound, and spoke in unison in a strange sound that seemed to be made when the tape recorder was about to run out of power.

"The main quest and identity are not allowed to be revealed, otherwise they will be expelled from the puppet house, we are good puppets of Lu Xiao Jie, and we will definitely not go against her wishes."

There was an eerie silence in the air, and Mo Xiaoyao patiently waited for the two puppets to repeat this passage three times and stopped talking, before turning his head to look at Susanna, his tone was indifferent, and he didn't seem to blame her for stealing the words just now.

"Or, you ask?"

Suzanne immediately shook her head and waved her two fat puppet hands: "Don't ask, don't ask, you first, if there is any omission, we will say hello." ”

Mo Xiaoyao sighed twice in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on the surface, turned his head to look at the two puppets that had quieted down, and asked again: "John, can you tell me about your relationship with Robert?" Why would you collect newspaper clippings about him. ”

This question can obviously be answered under the premise of clues, and John spoke again, and the tone of his voice was no longer that strange sound, but returned to a state of no ups and downs, and compared with the situation just now, this kind of sound can be regarded as a kind of natural sound to the ears of those who are still alive.

John: "Robert and I went to the same university, and after graduation we ran a clinic together, and he didn't say goodbye after he had a medical accident, and when Admiral Mearns came to me, I was defenseless, the clinic was banned, and I was penniless and had to board a ship to India. ”

Mo Xiaoyao thought for a moment and asked, "So you hate him?" ”

John: "Yes, I hate him. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have gone to India and I wouldn't have been injured and disfigured. ”

Thinking about the handsome little boy in Edward's bedroom, Mo Xiaoyao really couldn't associate these two puppets with each other - isn't this the difference between the imitation and the original? It's obviously an original and a defective product.

Mo Xiaoyao: "You came back to take revenge on him?" ”

John: "I asked him for money, and he had to make it up to me!" ”

The eyes of the three people all looked at Robert, and seeing that there was no way to shirk it, Robert rubbed his hands: "I didn't know the synopsis at first, so I was asked to meet John in the garden, and then what he said just now, he asked me to find a way to get money for him, otherwise he would expose me - you also saw it before, that recommendation letter, if I was revealed to have had a medical accident, the future would be over." ”

Suzanne and Madame Mary nodded frequently, as if to show that they understood, only Mo Xiaoyao was silent, and only when they all looked at him again did they speak slowly.

"He didn't ask you to help kill Antonio?"

Mo Xiaoyao knew that this question could not be asked to John, it involved the main quest and identity, and Suzanne was already considered a slight contact taboo just now. The puppets repeated the words 3 times, and Mo Xiaoyao didn't dare to guess whether it meant that the taboo could only be violated 3 times - even if he wanted to try, there was no need to try with this kind of question.

Of course, there is no need to try it yourself.

Of course, Robert denied this, but the possibility proposed by Mo Xiaoyao still made Lady Mary and Suzanne mutter, and from their frequent exchange of glances and the movement of looking at Robert, it was speculated that they already had ideas in their hearts.

Mo Xiaoyao glanced at the time, it was 9:15, and they had wasted too much time in the tent.

"I suggest we go back to the main mansion and go to Edward's bedroom first, we haven't confirmed if he's an important NPC yet."

Suzanne agreed to the offer first, followed by Robert, and Lady Mary hesitated, pointed at Michelle and John and asked, "Let's go, what about the two of them?" ”

Mo Xiaoyao tilted his head: "Let's get out of the tent first and see if they will follow." ”

As when they came, the four merfolk walked out of the tent, and within two steps, they saw Michelle and John silently following them, apparently trying to keep pace with the main army.

This is also trouble-free, Mo Xiaoyao thought, she now has a faint idea in her heart, but she still needs more evidence to support it, otherwise at best she can only say that she is thinking nonsense.

On the way back to the villa, Mo Xiaoyao was not idle, and asked some other things, including Michelle's evidence and the snakes that John raised.

John didn't answer the snake's question for the time being, it should be the system xiàn zhì him, but Michelle didn't have any scruples, and told all his evidence, except for the unidentified herb bag.

The silver pendant was something Michelle had when he was still an infant and was held to the old circus leader, and it was supposed to be used to prove his identity. This is no longer a secret, and it seems that everyone present knows that he is supposed to be Edward's eldest son.

In this way, Michelle's previous words with Mo Xiaoyao were not adulterated, and he also had the motive to poison Antonio to restore his identity.

After all, when the "terminally ill" Edward dies, as the "only" surviving male relative, he will be the most legitimate heir.

The premise is that he recovers his identity first, confirming that he is a legitimate child, and that Antonio is an illegitimate child - obviously, the exchange of children can only be done shortly after the birth, before Zoya's mother has seen the child.

Otherwise, judging from the fact that she later gave birth to Zoya, it would be impossible to allow someone to replace her eldest son, unless she didn't know about it at all.

In this case, taking into account the hair color and eye color, and the dominance of Lady Mary in the estate, the answer is already in place.

Antonio was apparently the illegitimate son of Lady Mary and Edward, and the illegitimate son had no right to inheritance.

Regarding Mo Xiaoyao's question, Mrs. Mary hesitated for a moment, but still admitted calmly: "Antonio is Mrs. Mary's son, my suspicion can be ruled out, I can't kill my own son." ”

Mo Xiaoyao was noncommittal about this, while recalling the ** that everyone wanted to hide with the help of "honest Michelle and John", and secretly listed their motives for killing in his heart according to some clues he had.

Michelle – the true first in line to the throne of the Misty Manor – needed a lot of money as well as land – to feed the circus troupe members who were like family to him, angry Antonio nuè dài's own sister.

John - Edward's younger brother and second in line to the estate - gets rid of his illegitimate son Antonio and blames Michelle - restores his identity - inherits the manor.

Susanna - according to John's testimony, said that she was seen stealing - she confessed on the way because she received a letter from her only son saying that he was seized for gambling and urgently needed a lot of money - Zoya had no money, so she had to take risks - she was afraid of the East Window incident, so she was the first to strike.

Robert - who is in a "qingren" relationship with Lady Mary - Antonio knows about it, and it would be easy to get rid of him if he wants to kill people in order not to put his job in jeopardy? Seems a bit far-fetched......

Lady Mary - seems to be the most unlikely murderer - but Antonio's plan does not mean to support her - considering this, even if the land is repossessed, as Edward's only remaining relative, he can get all the cash as an inheritance.

Even if it is a wooden head, Mo Xiaoyao also feels a little headache, she needs more information to analyze, and the evidence is still insufficient.

Because on the way back, everyone has been talking, and it takes more time to stop and go than when I go, and when I arrived at the villa hall, the time has come to 9:35.

At this time, in the hall, there was a puppet dressed as a police officer, who seemed to be the "professional" that Mo Xiaoyao and they needed.
