The sky was overcast.

Shortly after they woke up, they were woken up by a knock on the door.

The blood clan has some genes and habits of night owls, and getting up early is not a good habit for many nobles, who prefer to be active in the late afternoon and the first half of the night.

It's just that with the arrival of a sentence, they all lifted their spirits, and they had to face this summoning with a serious look.

- From now on, the truth will be revealed.

In the living room, there are about ten people in total.

There were members of the Blood Knights who were in charge of the records, and there were also nobles who came to watch.

Because it is about the innocence of these four aristocratic girls, the family behind them naturally cannot sit idly by, at least go to the scene to support their daughter.

A nobleman's head of the family was holding a cane and asked directly, "The Knights are in such a hurry to gather everyone here, did they really find the assassins?" ”

Another elder Bloodline snorted coldly, "Wasn't it almost certain that the murderer was from the Frankymir family before?" Why have you changed your tune now? Can you give me an explanation? ”

"I sent this summons, and I will naturally give the truth to everyone here," Mussel said. ”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Bai Yu, he walked down from the second floor, and looked around: "I have been investigating this case for two days, and then I will be responsible for revealing the truth." ”

"Who are you?" A Blood Clan elder questioned, "This person is not from the Knights, is he?" ”

"I was invited by Miss Peggy...... "Bai Yu introduced himself, "a detective." ”

"I've never heard of any detectives, but Peggy Frankimir has a major suspicion!" The big nobleman's eyes were bright red and said, "I can't trust the people she invited over." ”

"You don't need to believe me." Bai Yu said lightly: "You just need to believe the truth." ”

"You ......"

"Please don't interrupt me again." Bai Yu reminded: "Don't say that there is no topic about the case, I am not interested in dwelling on meaningless things." ”

"Rampant!" The nobles of the Blood Clan pressed their crutches angrily, and the furious magic filled the entire hall.

In the whirlpool of magic power, Bai Yu looked sideways, the soul coercion and the power field of the king rode at the same time, and the magic power that stayed in the hall was like dust dispersed by a pair of hands, and even the nobles who stood up immediately weakened their legs and sat back on the chair.

"I said it."

The scorching light of the scorching sun burst out from Bai Yu's eyes, almost turning golden.

"Give me a little rest!"

Suppressing people with power, but in turn being suppressed on the seat, the blood in the eyes of the blood nobleman was even more intense, but his face was even paler.

He was secretly frightened, he was a fourth-order person, and he actually felt breathless in front of this young man...... What kind of monster the hell this detective is!

Bai Yu withdrew the pressure and said lightly: "I don't really like to show off force, and the same is true of power relying on force and identity, but ...... I don't like to do this, it doesn't mean I don't, please keep the most basic respect for me, otherwise, I can only ask you to bow your heads to me in awe. ”

No one answered.

This time Liwei was very successful.

Liwei is to compete for the right to speak and avoid others from messing around.

"Very well, then I'll start dissecting the truth."

Bai Yu said bluntly: "Before that, I want to state a big premise, the murderer is not Peggy Frankimir, why it can't be her, I will explain it in detail later." ”

He pulled out Jeanne's notes.

"In any homicide, there are three kinds of mysteries."

"First, whodunit; second, whydunit; Third, howdunit...... That is, the murderer, the motive, the modus operandi. ”

"If you can see through the latter two, there is a way to extrapolate the former in reverse."

"It's just that in this era of a lot of spells, it's more difficult to completely restore the murderer's killing methods."

He looked around.

"But luckily ......"

"In this case, both murders were committed by the same person, and both took place in the Opal Palace."

"People from the outside can't get in, and people from the inside can't get out."

In other words, the six people who participated in the blind date at the scene were the direct candidates who were suspected, and the murderer was ...... And it was among the six of them. ”

"Excluding Julia, who is dead, one of the five people who are still alive must be a murderer."

Bai Yu looked at the others and asked, "At this point, do you have any questions?" If so, you can ask questions directly. ”

"I have a question." It was Rena who spoke, she raised her hand and said timidly, "For example, if the other party is hiding in the subspace?" There's a lot of subspace in this palace, right? ”

Bai Yu nodded and said: "It's true that there is a subspace in this opal palace, but it is almost impossible for the murderer to hide in it and come and go freely, if you want to say why, I have already tried this, once you enter the subspace, you are locked up, and you can't get out at all until you kill the monsters in the room." ”

"And one more point."

"If the other party is already safe hiding in the subspace, then there is no need for him to kill Julia at all."

"Julia's demon corpse has been found in the subspace, and she hasn't been there."

"This proves that she may have found some clues, and not really knew who the killer was, otherwise she could have directly reported it."

"Even so, the killer killed her because these clues could reveal the identity of the killer."

Rena opened her mouth and lowered her hand again.

Bai Yu continued: "I just mentioned that through Julia's demon corpse, we found the weapon used by the murderer to cut off the prince's head...... That is, this great sword. ”

Mussel uncovered the white cloth from the table, revealing armor and a broadsword.

"The great sword is called the Frostbringer, and this sword has a history of more than a thousand years, and it has been kept in the treasure vault, but I don't know how it was taken out." "And this armor too," said Musel. ”

Bai Yu said: "I think, these things should be taken out by the prince himself, as a royal bloodline, he has the ability to open the treasure house, I think he has just become a prince, and he wants to check his treasures, and choose a weapon and armor to play with, this is not too much." ”

Stella thought thoughtfully: "But when we went on a blind date, we didn't seem to see it." ”

Mussell continued: "The blood on the blade of this sword has been examined and confirmed to be the blood of the Prince...... There is no doubt that it was it that decapitated the Prince's head - the murderer did not use a spell, but a weapon to decapitate the head. ”

"Unfortunately, we haven't been able to find out where the Prince's lost head went."

"And this sword was also found in the room of the subspace."

"The mirror that leads to the subspace can identify bloodlines, and the bloodlines can't enter it."

"In this way, the killer tried to hide the murder weapon."

"I have to say...... She's really cunning. ”

The Blood Knight looked at several women at the scene and tried to put pressure on her, but she didn't know who the murderer was, and even though the clues were abundant, she couldn't get an answer.

"Wait a minute." Rebecca raised her hand and asked, "Since the Bloodline can't enter, how did you get it back?" ”

"The Bloodlines can't enter. But humans can. Bai Yu took the initiative to answer: "In the same way, it is okay to make demons, so Julia's demon died in the mirror, I speculate, she also witnessed Durahan in the mirror with her own eyes, so she became so suspicious and panicked in the week before her death, because the prince also died of beheading, so Julia recognized Durahan as the embodiment of resentment after the prince's death." ”

Rena gave a look of surprise, then lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Stella spoke again, urging, "Having said so much, why don't you hurry up and get to the point?" Who is the real culprit? ”

Bai Yu asked rhetorically: "So who does Ms. Stella think is the real culprit?" ”

"Whoever it is, it can't be me anyway." Stella said calmly.

"Indeed." Bai Yu took this sentence and said with great certainty: "It can't be you." ”

Stella, dressed as a witch, was a little surprised that Bai Yu recognized her innocence so quickly, but she still asked, "Are you angry with me?" ”

"No, I believe you are innocent." Bai Yu said.

"Thank you."

"But that's not enough." Bai Yu continued: "I want to further prove your innocence. ”

Stella became interested and asked, "How are you going to prove it?" I don't have any alibi, and this is not convincing for a Bloodline who knows how to spell. ”

Bai Yu pointed to the gate: "Please leave the Opal Palace." ”

"What?" Stella froze.

"Please leave Opal Palace." Bai Yu said bluntly: "In this way, your innocence will be self-evident." ”

The Bloods, dressed as a witch, was silent, she lowered the brim of her hat, and then smiled slightly reluctantly: "Why should I do this?" ”

"You know what I mean." Bai Yu continued: "Ms. Stella, you can skip my time for explanation, and you can also let yourself get innocent, which is a good thing, isn't it?" While this will reveal one of your secrets, it will be revealed sooner or later. ”

Stella bowed her head and said nothing.

The people around didn't understand what kind of riddler's conversation it was.

It wasn't until Stella let out a long sigh and stood up and walked outside the Opal Palace, where two blood knights followed.

Just as she left the palace, there was a sudden shaking outside the door, and in the violent shaking and high dust, two sharp battle axes staggered and intercepted at the main entrance, blocking Stella's way.

And the ...... blocking this road

It's an ancient gargoyle!

Everyone watched this scene in amazement, and then Stella turned back and sat down sullenly: "Are you satisfied now?" ”

"Thank you for your cooperation." Bai Yu expressed his gratitude: "It saves a lot of explanation. ”

After a pause, he said, "When I came to Opal Palace before, I saw ancient gargoyles outside, and their function was to act as security guards. ”

"There are two main situations for defense."

"First, the dangerous ones who invaded from the outside, excluding the blood clan and humans, only the powerful ancient bloodline."

"Second, to prevent the wealth from being taken away, if a thief gets through, the ancient gargoyle will be activated."

Bai Yu asked the Blood Knights.

"I remember that the property in the Opal Palace is the private property of the royal family, and if you take it without the permission of the royal family, you will inevitably be cursed."

One of the nobles affirmed, "Yes." ”

The head of the house behind Stella asked: "What does this mean, you mean, my Stella stole the treasures in the Opal Palace?" ”

His face became anxious, stealing wealth, isn't it possible to kill people with passion?

This is a major event related to the extermination of the race!

Bai Yu shook his head: "This old gentleman, please calm down, I said it...... To prove Ms. Stella's innocence, not to accuse her of stealing. ”

"In fact, Stella is not cursed for stealing the treasure."

"The reason why the Ancient Gargoyles were triggered is because she herself has been considered part of the property of the Opal Palace."

The others looked at Stella.

Will the living be considered wealth?

What kind of operation is this?

Being stared at by everyone, Stella also had to sigh, and then began to confess.

"That's the way it is, it's about a deal from years ago, anyway...... This blind date is actually just a formality. ”

"No matter who the others are, I will definitely be the one who will be chosen."

"I was originally raised as the prince's concubine, and this is a contract and a curse...... Because I am a member of the royal family, I am also considered the private property of the royal family, and I cannot leave this place until the marriage contract is consummated. ”

"Even after the death of the Prince, if I try to leave, I will be stopped."

"I see." "That's why you could have left with someone else's guarantee, but you still stayed?" ”

"As soon as I try to leave, I'm going to trigger the gargoyles, and I'll have to explain it then."

"Why don't you explain it clearly?"

"Because I don't want to be a widow for the rest of my life!" Stella held her cheeks and said angrily: "The prince is dead, I think it's better to keep the secret, otherwise who would dare to make a move on me, the princess-to-be?" ”

That's quite a pretty good reason.

Bai Yu asked strangely: "In the blood clan, isn't there anyone who is a good wife?" ”

In the great Romania, there is no one to inherit the will of Cao Gong?

As soon as he asked, it immediately aroused public anger.

More than a dozen pairs of bright red eyes looked over, with anger.

This question seems to be the ultimate insult to the warriors of pure love.

You can question all of the Bloodlines, but you can't question their XP.

"Uh-huh, the topic is off the mark." Mussell corrected his atmosphere: "Then at this point, Miss Stella's suspicion has been ruled out, she must abide by the content of the contract, and she can't make a move against the royal family at all." ”

"So who is the real culprit?" Again, someone asked, and curiosity tickled through my heart like a cat's claw.

Bai Yu said directly: "Miss Rena." ”

More than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at the youngest seventeen-year-old girl at the same time.

The latter shrank his head like a frightened fawn and waved his hand repeatedly: "No, no, it's not me." ”

She was so anxious that she almost cried.

Bai Yu slowly added the second half of the sentence.

"The Real Murderer ......"

"It's not her, either."

"Next, I will prove her innocence."

The crowd retracted their gaze, and the nobles behind Rena also breathed a sigh of relief, he was also worried about being eliminated by the Nine Clans.

At this time, there were already a few people at the scene who saw what Bai Yu's reasoning method was.

Jeanne and Lumina were already aware of his modus operandi.

is the simplest one, and its name is ......

Exclusion.
