Chapter 160: The 'murderer' has been caught
"No need to ......"
"Let's let Dong Ting come!"
I wanted to refuse, but before I finished speaking, Wu Chengsi and the others also opened their mouths to stop me.
After all, it's something of unknown origin, and no one knows what's inside, so it's best to be careful.
Seeing their extremely serious expressions, I sighed slightly and handed the gift box in my hand to Dong Ting.
Dong Ting took the gift box and slowly opened it, but there was only a hosta inside, and after checking that there was no danger and no poison, Dong Ting handed the hosta to Zhao Yan.
I took the hosta and looked at it for a while: "Judging from the degree of wear, this hosta should be some years old, but who will give me such a hosta?" And if you know about your birthday here today, you should be the only one who is here, right? So who brought it in? ”
I looked around, but everyone shook their heads.
Wu Chengsi: "Zhao girl, could it be that someone heard that you were going to hold a birthday banquet here, so they sneaked in while we weren't paying attention?" ”
"Yes! Everyone was playing separately just now, maybe no one saw it, but it doesn't mean that no strangers really came in. Li Chunqin also said objectively.
Zhao Li: "But whether it is or not, this guest is too special, he came silently, left silently, and left a mysterious gift box, but there is only an old hosta inside, and there is no danger, this feeling is not ordinary." ”
Zhao Li said what I thought in my heart.
Actually, I don't really care so much about this extra gift, but who I care about, why I give it like this, and what is the purpose.
And one more point......
"Out of shape, Xuanqing, have you found any suspicious people?" I asked suddenly.
At this time, Izukaku and Xuanqing appeared out of nowhere.
"Nope!"
"If they don't find out, then the only one who puts the gift in can only be their own people." I'm sure of tone.
"Why do you think so?" Wu Chengji asked.
And the crowd looked at me.
I lazily raised my eyebrows: "It's very simple! Izuku and Xuanqing are both personal guards, in this kind of crowded occasion, they definitely can't play with confidence, so they have been on guard if there is any danger around, if neither of them found any suspicious people, then it can only be explained that the one who put this gift box in can only be their own people. ”
Hearing this, everyone finally nodded in understanding, but they may also look at each other, wondering in their hearts who this person they are familiar with, why did he do this, and why did he not stand up and admit it.
Just a gift, isn't it?
It's not a bad thing to kill people and set fires, why didn't anyone come out and admit it?
Isn't that too weird?
Seeing that no one admitted it, I sighed and said, "Okay, it's not a big deal, it's just a gift, this birthday banquet has been eaten and drunk, there is nothing special, the villagers should go back and rest first!" ”
Hearing this, the villagers said goodbye to me and left, and I and Dong Ting Wanyun were left in the huge villa, as well as Wu Chengsi, Li Chunqin, Zhao Li, Sun Wucheng, Fu Xiumin, Yan Rixing and others.
When the villagers had left, I looked at them with a smile and said, "Now that the villagers have left, can you tell me now?" Who among you gave the gift? ”
"You're looking into us? But why does it have to be among us? Li Chunqin asked.
I shrugged my shoulders: "It's also a very simple truth, because this hosta seems to be some years old, but these villagers were still poor a year ago, they couldn't even eat, where did they get the spare money to buy these luxury goods?" So this thing can only be the stuff of rich people, am I right? ”
Wu Chengsi raised his eldest mother finger: "It makes sense, but my Second Master Wu acts above board, yes, no, no, this hosta has absolutely nothing to do with this Second Master." ”
Li Chunqin: "Of course I'm the Imperial Doctor, the third prince of Zhao State, there is no reason for this Imperial History to do this kind of stealing chickens and touching dogs, besides, I really want to give a gift, I still wish Yan'er knew!" ”
Zhao Li: "Trouble! ”
Obviously, this prince disdains to do such a thing.
The three of them have already taken a stand, and I have to look to the other side.
Seeing me looking at them, Sun Wucheng waved his hand first: "I have no reason to do it, our Chu State has a cooperative relationship with you, and I am also your subordinate now, I have signed all the gifts, is it necessary for me to send another 'mysterious' gift box?" ”
Fu Xiumin on the Qin side, Yan Rixing and others on the Yan State side also quickly shook their heads, saying that they were the same as Sun Wucheng's, so after asking around, there were only Dong Ting, Wanyun, Izuka, Xuan Qing, and Dexiu left.
Seeing that my best gaze fell on them, Dexiu said: "Lord Zhao Yan, although we don't get along much, but how we behave, I believe you can be considered clear, what my second master has not done, I can't do it." ”
Out of the form: "My duty is only to protect the Thirteenth Master. ”
Xuan Qing: "This hosta has been passed down for many years at a glance, and I am reluctant to give such a big gift, if I want to give it, I have to give it to my future daughter-in-law." ”
"It's all this time, don't you stand up? Do you really want me to interrogate all of them and then name them? I suddenly said something with some disappointment, and my eyes fell on someone.
In fact, this murderer was the object of my suspicion from the beginning.
Because of their answers, I also thought about it, so I also knew who would not be suspicious, so I filtered it in my heart and came to a conclusion, that is, this person is the closest person to me.
When I said suddenly, everyone was puzzled, and following my gaze, everyone looked at Wanyun.
"Is that her?"
Everyone looked at each other, wondering if Zhao Yan had made a mistake, wasn't Wanyun her closest maid?
It stands to reason that she, like Dong Ting, can be ruled out directly, but why would Zhao Yan suspect Wanyun?
Isn't that logical?
"County Lord......"
"Do you know why I doubt you?"
Wanyun shook her head.
"Because with my understanding of Wu Chengsi, Li Chunqin, and the Thirteenth Master, they are people who will not do such pedantic things, and the Three Kingdoms of Chu Qinyan have a cooperative relationship with me, if they really want to give gifts, they can give them openly, there is no need to do this, and out of shape and Xuanqing, they are originally the most typical guards, one order and one action, such people, do you think they will give me this hand?"
I paused in my voice as I spoke, and then said: "As for Dong Ting, it's not that I didn't doubt her, because at the beginning, there were two people I suspected, one was you, and the other was Dong Ting, but when I was about to open the gift box, Dong Ting stopped it, but you didn't, why?" On weekdays, as long as there is a little danger, you and Dong Ting will be the first to jump out, and you don't jump out, this doesn't just mean one thing, you know that there is no danger in the gift box at all, but in this case, who will know the situation inside? ”
"The one who put the gift box." Takeseiji took my words.
And what I said, everyone finally knew who gave the gift box, but why?
Everyone looked at Wanyun, as if they were all waiting for her explanation.
When things got to this point, Wanyun knew that she couldn't shirk it, so she had to say: "That's right, the gift was put in, but I didn't have any malice, and the person who gave the gift was not me, I also did it on behalf of me, so I didn't sign it, but I didn't expect it to be just a gift box mixed in it, which is inconspicuous, so it can also be discovered by you, Wanyun has to say, you are really smart and powerful." ”
"Thank you!" I said it lightly, there was no expression on my face, and I couldn't see the emotion.
But I just said that, and then there was no sound.
Seeing this, Wanyun was puzzled again: "County Lord, don't you ask me who gave you a gift?" ”
"Do you feel the need to ask?"
"Why do you say that?" Wanyun was unclear again, and even Wu Chengsi and the others on the side were puzzled.
Now that the 'murderer' is known, why did it stop there?
Isn't Zhao Yan curious about who Wanyun is giving gifts for, and why?
