Chapter XXII: The Investigation Begins
The Emperor who had protected Liyue for thousands of years was dead, a fact that would be difficult for any Liyue person to accept.
An Ping stared at the emperor's body for a long time.
Unexpectedly, the closest he came to the emperor was after the emperor's death.
"Look carefully and write down all the details."
Ningguang found that An Ping's eyes were gradually dull, and his thoughts drifted into the distance, and he immediately opened his mouth to remind.
"Why?"
An Ping was puzzled.
"Because soon I will hide the Immortal Ancestor Dharma, this is your last chance to see the Immortal Ancestor Dharma."
"Hide? Why is that? Shouldn't the death of the Emperor Immortal allow all the people of Liyue to pay their respects to his remains one last time and see him off? What are you hiding for? ”
Anping was even more puzzled.
"After all, something like that happened in Mondstadt, and you probably know it best. Now that the Emperor is gone, and the dark tide is surging in Liyue Harbor, the Fatui will not let go of this opportunity. If you don't want the Immortal Ancestor Law left by the Emperor to suffer this shame, then it's better to hide it first. ”
Ningguang's beautiful eyes fell on An Ping, and then swept towards the entire Yujing Terrace. When she looked around, it seemed as if the whole of Liyue had fallen into her eyes.
Liyue's Seven Stars are not boasting.
What happened at the entrance of Mondstadt Cathedral didn't expect them to hear about it.
But what Ning Guang said is very reasonable, it is more appropriate to protect it for the time being than to take out the emperor's law for the memory of the emperor and the people, at least before the Fatui are all driven away.
"So now, are you willing to help Qixing find the murderer of the emperor?"
Ningguang's eyes returned to An Ping.
She was shorter than An Ping, but An Ping felt as if Ning Guang was looking down on him.
"Shouldn't you Seven Stars do this? In terms of ability, means, and connections, you are all far above me, why should you hand it over to me? ”
An Ping looked at Ning Guang suspiciously.
"Seven Stars has more important things to do, and besides, we have a reason why we have to hand it over to you to investigate."
"What reason?"
Anping didn't understand.
"In the matter of the emperor's murder, as the direct beneficiary of Qixing, we have to avoid suspicion."
With a word, An Ping understood.
With the Emperor gone, all of Liyue's rights will fall into the hands of the Seven Stars. In terms of motives, they are almost on a par with the Fatui.
"If you can find out the real culprit who killed the emperor, Seven Stars can help you fulfill a wish, no matter what it is."
Ningguang's tone gave no doubt that she would be able to do it.
"If this murderer really exists."
Anping didn't agree, nor did he refuse, but just walked to the emperor's body and squatted down to examine it carefully.
Ningguang already knew his attitude.
An Ping would not have refused without Ningguang's promise, and as a Liyue native who had come so far under the protection of the Emperor, the Emperor died unexpectedly, and no one would want to do something for the Emperor.
Anping is suspicious of the Fatui and also of the Seven Stars.
Their motives were very sufficient, but An Ping really didn't believe that they had the ability to kill the emperor.
There is definitely something else to be said about this.
Squatting in front of the emperor's body, An Ping didn't find even the slightest external injury.
Poisoning?
That's the biggest nonsense.
Where does the emperor usually eat and what he eats? How to poison?
It can't be a slip on your foot and a fall, and you fall on the back of your head, right?
This is even more fantastical.
Moreover, it is impossible for Ningguang to let him dissect the emperor's body, and it is probably impossible for Anping to rely on the body to find clues.
His knowledge of criminal investigation is only what he sees in novels and television.
It's not even needed on this emperor's dragon body.
But fortunately, Teyvat already has something similar to a camera, and Anping really relies on his brain to memorize it. An Ping asked Ningguang to find someone to send a photographer, and seriously recorded all the details and the whole picture of the emperor's body.
At this time, everyone on the Yujing platform was given a gag order by Ningguang and then dismissed.
The commander of the Millelith Army, who had just escorted Anping over, trotted over and whispered to Ningguang before leaving.
Now in Yujingtai, there is no one else except Ningguang and Anping.
Ningguang wanted to hide the emperor's body, and An Ping knew that he was probably going to be broken up.
"I'll tell you the news that the Millelith have just come to report to me that the Traveler who saved Mondstadt with you has been rescued by the Fatui, even though I have no intention of capturing her. I just don't know what the purpose of the Fatui is to show her goodwill? ”
Ningguang walked over to An Ping, who was fiddling with the photo, and said.
"Yiying's skills don't need to be saved by the Fatui, and she's not stupid enough to be grateful to the Fatui for this. But the Fatui courted me first and then to her, so that I could not understand what they were thinking, and the courtesy to us should not have helped them in the slightest. ”
Anping couldn't figure out how he, a native of Liyue Village, and Ying, a traveler from outside the city, could help the Fatui.
"If you can't figure it out, just let it go and wait and see what happens. No matter what they do, they have only one ultimate goal, they only need to keep the Immortal Ancestor Law well. However, if you knew that this kind of thing would happen today, it would be better to simply dismantle the Northland Bank before. ”
Ningguang's gaze looked in the direction of the Northland Bank, and then retracted and turned to Anping.
"You should have taken a picture of it. The Moon Sea Pavilion has recorded all the actions of the Fatui in recent years, including the daily schedule of the Seven Stars over the years, if you want to investigate, you go directly to Ganyu, she will help you. ”
Ningguang gave the order to evict the guests.
An Ping was not curious about where Ningguang would keep the emperor's body, it was not good for him to know this kind of thing. After packing up the photograph and photos, Anping walked into the Yuehai Pavilion without any regrets.
"Hello, you are Anping. Lord Tianquan Star Ningguang has already sent someone to inform me, and I will try my best to assist you during the investigation, just call me Ganyu. ”
As soon as An Ping pushed open the door, he was startled by Ganyu, who was standing at the door and suddenly spoke.
"Oh oh oh, so you... It's Ganyu. ”
When An Ping's gaze swept over Ganyu, he paused to speak.
This blue-haired girl is wearing... It's so astringent, what's the matter with that bell around your neck?
And the pair of horns on her head...
Anping thought of Yanfei.
Could it be that this Ganyu is also a half-immortal?
Ganyu noticed that An Ping's eyes stayed on his corner, and hurriedly covered it with his hand.
"It's just a headdress, don't care."
Was it a headdress!? There is a headpiece of this shape?!
Anping was a little surprised.
But it seems to be unexpectedly suitable to wear on Ganyu's head.
"If you're looking for documents about the Fatui or the Seven Stars, come with me."
Ganyu turned around and led the way in front.
