Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Murderer Is the Emperor!

Anping and Ganyu returned to Yuehai Pavilion together.

The clues on the Fatui are broken, and no matter how much they look at their records, it is impossible to determine what the Fatui are going to do with copying so many hundred taboo urns.

Anping's eyes were on Qixing.

As the direct beneficiary of the emperor's murder, Anping felt that it was best not to let go of any possibility.

After all, there were incidents in Mondstadt where the Lawrence family betrayed their country for glory.

So he asked Gan Yu to find all the documents and records related to the Seven Stars in the last two months.

Ganyu glanced at An Ping, but didn't speak.

Soon after, Ganyu returned with three cartloads full of documents.

Anping cracked on the spot.

He had already taken the lesson of the day before yesterday and only dared to ask for two months, but he didn't expect that he could directly triple it!

With that amount, it would have taken a week just to read them all.

If you find the sin yourself, you must pretend to the end.

An Ping picked up a document and began to read it at quantum speed.

A cursory glance is all it takes.

But even so, Anping could feel the huge workload of Qixing.

He felt that he was probably not the life of the superior.

The hard work is really not just talking.

After flipping through the pages, Anping overturned the possibility of Qixing as a suspect.

Although Liyue's annual development plan is set by the Emperor, the actual executors are still the Seven Stars, and their power will not increase or decrease regardless of whether the Emperor is alive or not.

The Seven Stars who lost the Emperor may lose their biggest backer, and the position of the Seven Stars may be unstable.

From the perspective of interests, Seven Stars is the most unlikely person to do anything to the emperor.

And is anyone really capable of killing the emperor? Even if the empress of the Solstice Kingdom came to Anping in person, she didn't think that there would be such a possibility.

An Ping suddenly came to a ridiculous conclusion in his head.

The emperor is suicidal.

Because it was so ridiculous that An Ping didn't even think for a second to forget this conclusion.

I can't find a breakthrough in the written materials, so why not go to the site again and check it out?

So Anping couldn't sit still, informed Ganyu, and walked out of the Jade Pavilion to Yujingtai.

Standing on the altar where the emperor fell that day, An Ping looked up at the sky.

If the emperor was attacked in the sky...

No, no, there are no wounds on the emperor's body.

Unless it is an internal injury.

Assuming that the emperor suffered internal injuries, it should have been a battle that took place at the moment when the auspicious clouds turned black. An Ping recalled the situation at that time.

The wind flickered, and blood-colored thunder and lightning surged through the dark clouds...

The case has been solved, and it was Thor who killed the emperor.

It's outrageous.

Even if it's a sneak attack, it won't beat the emperor with one move, and you won't even have time to say the name of the murderer...

Moreover, the emperor's body is so intact that it doesn't look like he's been in battle at all.

An Ping frowned.

I took it out again and looked at it.

A crazy thought lingered in his head.

The Fatui, the Seven Stars, the Immortals, the Heart of the Gods, the Emperor, the Wendy...

Is the emperor faking his death?!

The moment this idea popped up, all of Anping's doubts were explained, and his thoughts had never been so transparent.

Wendy can act to give away the heart of the gods, why can't the emperor do that.

The two of them are absolutely aware of the purpose of the Fatui collecting the hearts of the gods, and for some unspeakable reason, they are secretly fueling it!

The murderer is the emperor!

The case can be closed.

But why play dead? Is he afraid of being beaten by the Fatui like Wendy, ruining his image as a martial god?

The emperor also has the burden of idols.

An Ping shook his head behind his back and walked down the Yujing platform.

It's better not to tell Ningguang and Ganyu about this outrageous conclusion, anyway, Ningguang probably didn't think he could find out the real culprit.

However, this time it seems that he has made a lot of money, and these "posthumous photos" of the emperor in his pocket are estimated to be worth a lot of money in the near future.

It's so monumental.

However, if it is sold, it may be hit by a meteorite one day when walking on the road, and Anping thinks it is better to simply use it as an heirloom.

Descending from Yujingtai, Anping found that everyone was discussing the murder of the emperor.

Didn't Ningguang block the news? Obviously, no one discussed it yesterday.

Regarding such a big thing as the emperor's murder, it can't be blocked from normal, and it's not surprising that the fermentation is peaceful and peaceful.

It's just that the caliber of these people seems to be somewhat unified, and they are all discussing that it was Qixing who backstabbed the rock prince.

And all kinds of evidence are speculative, and they all say the same.

If he hadn't personally participated in the investigation, just listening to these people's nonsense, Anping himself would have felt that Qixing had stabbed the emperor in the back.

There are ghosts behind this kind of thing without the participation of the Fatui.

It's all passed on to this, and it's impossible for Ningguang to not know, but they don't have to worry about it themselves.

When passing by Sanwan but Hong Kong, Anping saw Zhongli drinking tea there again.

I should say that it would be strange not to see him there.

Tian Tiezui on the stage obviously heard the news of the emperor's murder, and was full of grief and indignation telling the story of Lord Yan.

"As I mentioned in the last book, Liyue at that time..."

solved the case of the emperor's murder, and An Ping, who had nothing to do, simply sat opposite Zhongli again.

Now that he knows that the emperor has faked his death, he can't help but laugh when he listens to Tian Tiezui's story in that sad and indignant tone.

Zhongli looked at An Ping's expression and sensed that something was wrong.

"You should have heard the rumors in the streets of the market this morning."

Zhongli, who picked up the teacup and took a sip, asked in a slow voice.

"Uh-huh."

An Ping nodded, still smiling at Tian Tiezui's performance.

If he hadn't smiled vaguely enough, I'm afraid that all the concerned listeners present would have already picked up the bench to cure him for the crime of disrespecting Lord Yan.

"Looking at your expression, it seems that you have a different opinion, so it's better to listen to it with me."

Zhongli put down the teacup and looked at Anping.

With such a big news of the emperor's fake death in his stomach, An Ping was worried that no one would share it, anyway, he didn't make an appointment not to say it like Wendy's acting, An Ping simply approached Zhongli and whispered:

"Actually, I've been investigating the murder of the emperor for the past few days."

"Oh? So seeing that you look relaxed, you must have made a new discovery? ”

Zhongli raised an eyebrow.

"That's right, after some investigation, I found that the emperor faked his death."

"How can you see such a thing? I heard that the emperor's body fell from the sky on the day of the Immortal Ceremony, why can you find out that the emperor faked his death? ”

Zhongli took a sip of tea, his eyes never leaving Anping.

"That's a long story to explain."

If you want to tell your full speculation, it will inevitably involve the matter of Mondstadt Fengshen playing a match-fixing, and An Ping does not dare to elaborate.

"In short, I found out that the emperor is planning a major event, and the matter is far away, so it is inconvenient to disclose it, Mr. Zhongli, please forgive me."
