Ilea's interrogation soon made significant progress.

Anyone who could prove that he had not been to the room during that time was required to stand on the girl's left hand side, and that their witnesses should be checked and examined repeatedly, and that the testimony on both sides would be correct, and that no one else would report it, and then they would leave the hall.

And the rest on the right-hand side are people who can't prove themselves for the time being.

There were mainly two maids, a grandmother, and a tax collector, one of whom explicitly admitted that she had entered the room and offered Ilea a plate of freshly picked raspberries.

And the grandmother also said that she wanted to see Ilea for something, but when she knocked on the door and saw that no one answered, she left again and did not enter the house.

As for the other maid, she insisted that she had not been near the house, but she could not tell where she was during that time, and no one had seen her during that time.

Of course, the more suspicious thing is the tax collector, who should not have been in the castle today because it was not time to collect the taxes.

The tax officer's face was very ugly, especially when he saw Alfred's eyes sink, and the guards around him were all eager to take him down at any time.

He opened his mouth and said with difficulty, "Miss Ireya, can you say a few words in private?" ”

"When it comes to the end, do you still want to break the net?" Jude raised an eyebrow.

"No, no, it's mainly about some things, not to say it in front of so many people." The tax collector was so frightened that he waved his hand repeatedly.

"What's inconvenient to say in person?" The girl's face was frosty, "What good did my stepmother promise you to betray me?" ”

"Gods above, I can swear that I have never done anything to betray you." The tax collector pleaded bitterly, "Just give me a chance, if you are really worried that you can get the Alfred knight to stay, and with his skills he can beat five me, even if I really have any bad intentions, I can't do anything with him present." ”

"I don't believe you at all."

"I ...... I can testify that Freddy is with me! A voice rang out.

Everyone was surprised to find that it was the maid who could not produce evidence to prove where she was at that time.

Jude looked at the tax officer with a disgraced face, and then at the shy maid, and instantly understood something, revealing a look of sudden realization, "Is it difficult for you two to ......"

"That's right." The maid readily admitted, "We were in the cellar where the wine was kept. ”

"You said no one saw you, how can you prove it?"

"We were in a hurry when we came out because we heard the footsteps of the guards above, and my silver bracelet fell there, and by the way, it was also given to me by Freddy." The maid answers all questions.

The tax collector named Freddy was blinded and collapsed to the ground, muttering, "It's over, it's over...... My wife will find out about this, and her father and brother will definitely not let me go. ”

Jude sympathized with this, and Ilea called a guard to go around the cellar, and sure enough, she picked up the silver bracelet behind a wine barrel.

In addition to this, the soldier also found some ...... on the ground The traces left by the fierce battle can be regarded as completely clearing the suspicion of the two of them.

Just looking at the tax officer's loveless look, it seems that he would rather be arrested as a traitor and thrown into a dungeon, rather than live so innocently.

Ilea turned her gaze to the remaining maid and Mama.

The mama, in particular, had been very close to Vanessa in the castle before, and the girl had been working to clean up the unstable elements in the castle for some time.

However, you can't drive everyone away for a while, otherwise you will face the embarrassing situation of no one available, so you can only come in batches, starting with the most suspicious.

And most of these people are old people in the castle, who have served the Arias family for more than ten years, or even hundreds of years, and they can't let the family roll up and roll up.

I still have to think of a suitable excuse to send a large amount of pension money, so that I will not be poked in the back, and say that the Arias family and the new lord are ruthless behind my back.

So don't blame Ilea for giving up on herself some time ago, indulging in electronic pet eggs, if it weren't for Li Yu giving her money, she wouldn't even be able to open it, this lord really doesn't have any taste.

Ilea was thinking about using this incident to send away a group of old people who were close to Vanessa, but she didn't expect the maid who gave the raspberry to speak first.

She probably also wanted to clear her body of suspicion, so she provided a very valuable clue.

According to her, she had noticed Elia's aunt as she left the house, and Alyssa was walking towards her, looking hesitant and struggling.

Hearing this, Ilea's body shook violently, and she looked up at the noble lady sitting on the side.

The latter seemed to have expected such a scene, and his lips twitched, revealing a smile that was more ugly than crying.

"I did go into that room when you went out, and if I said I was so distraught that I didn't notice a note on the floor, I wonder if you would believe it?"

"Auntie......" The girl's chest was rising and falling violently, and she almost used all her strength, but she only squeezed these two words out between her teeth, and she couldn't say it anymore.

In fact, Ilea had prepared for the worst before calling the people.

That is, there are people in the family who still maintain close ties with Vanessa, and the girl who was far away in the royal capital suddenly changed his mind to Blanca at the last moment, but the girl has not forgotten it.

Now that someone has betrayed her, she won't be too surprised.

But she still couldn't accept that the person would be her aunt Alyssa, who had the best relationship with her and had been talking to her.

Even in the matter of Torres, Elisa has always been the most suspicious, and after returning to Greenfield, Elia has been consciously alienating Elisa.

But deep down, the girl still wants to trust her aunt.

Even if she heard her father sigh when she was young, after becoming a lord, she would find that there would be fewer and fewer people around her who could be trusted, and she would become more and more lonely.

These days, Ilea also feels this deeply, but in her heart, there is a list.

That's the person she feels can be completely trusted and relied on at any time, the first in line is of course the old knight Alfred, followed by Li Yu, and then the third person...... The girl wanted to fill in her aunt's name.

But now that name has been erased by her own hands.

Ilea felt a heartache, the pain of being betrayed, unforgettable.

With her uncle Antonio in the past, her aunt Alyssa in the back, and a stepmother who is bent on killing her, the girl is completely disappointed in her group of relatives.

She raised her face and took several deep breaths before reopening her eyes, and then said, "Come, take my aunt back to her room, and she will not be allowed to leave the door without my orders, and no one will be allowed to touch her......

The guards hesitated and walked towards the noble lady beside them.

The latter's face turned pale, but he got up from his seat, and without justifying himself, he saluted Ilea again.

Then he turned and walked out of the hall with his head bowed and surrounded by two guards.

Li Yu noticed that the purple finch and the golden snake exchanged a look in an extremely covert way, and an imperceptible look of joy flashed in their eyes.
