Chapter 224: The Most Reckless One

Being able to serve as the mayor of the imperial city will naturally not be incompetent, and the mayor of Mao'er Town sighed secretly when he saw Fei Qi's jiashi, and ordered his subordinates to follow Fei Qi's orders.

After retiring the servants and servants around him, Mayor Giles stepped forward and grabbed Feiqi, who was about to leave.

Looking at Giles's unyielding appearance, thinking of the friendship between the two, Feige had to stop.

Giles dragged Fitch into his office. But before Giles could speak, a person suddenly rushed in from outside the door, this person obviously had very urgent news to report to Giles, and rushed in without even knocking on the door.

Feige knew this man, who was Giles's butler in the city's house. In Giles's impression, this person is usually very stable, and rarely does such impulsive things. Seeing him like this at this time, Feiqi couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.

"Why are you in a hurry? Don't you see Lord Feige? Why don't you hurry up and salute him!" Giles knew more about his butler by comparison. Seeing his expression, Giles had already guessed that something big was happening, but Feige was still here, and he had to put on a calm appearance.

After the butler greeted Feige, he looked at Giles hesitantly.

"Lord Feiqi is not an outsider, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

"I just got the news that Marianne committed suicide by taking poison last night! After Bixia learned of this situation, Long Yan was furious and advanced the deadline for solving the case again. If the Criminal Department can't find the criminal who stole the 'Blood Jade Ruyi' before dusk tomorrow, all the suspects will be escorted to the execution ground!"

Before Feige and Giles, Li Zijun also got the news that Marianne had died.

"Can you be sure that Marianne committed suicide?" Li Zijun asked suspiciously, looking at the 'monkey' who came to report the news.

According to sources, Marianne left peacefully, and she left a suicide note before taking the poison. After being identified by professionals, it was indeed her handwriting. ”

According to the analysis of these professionals, Marianne was in an extremely sad mood when she wrote this suicide note, which was very consistent with her mentality at that time. They also concluded that Marianne had indeed died by suicide!"

"What do you think of Marianne's death?" asked Li Zijun, looking at the next Baldwin.

In order to show the importance he attaches to Baldwin, Li Zijun also invited him to his room and let him participate in the discussion.

"Young master, I think a mother who takes her daughter to play around all day is by no means a good mother!" Patrick gave an answer that Li Zijun didn't expect, which also made him slightly stunned. Immediately, his frown gradually relaxed, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Elder Van Lunding, what do you think?"

"Young Master, since you already have the answer, why do you bother to ask me again?!" Fan Lunding looked at Li Zijun's smiling face and said lightly.

"So, you also think there is something wrong with Marianne's death?"

"As Patriarch Baldwin said, Marianne is a bad mother! From what we know about her, she comes from a somewhat declining Dongyu aristocracy, who is very vain and ambitious at the same time. The reason why she chose to be with Virgil Bixia and give birth to a 'little princess' was only because she hoped that she would be able to use this as an excuse to enter the palace and achieve her goal of being respected. For her, the 'little princess' was just a springboard for her to enter the palace! I found it hard to believe that she would commit suicide for the sake of the not too strong guilt in her heart. ”

"As for the two conditions under which the professionals ruled Marianne's suicide, they seem to me to be even less convincing. As long as I am given enough time to prepare, the scene I set up will not allow those professionals to find any flaws!" Van Lunding said confidently.

Van Lunding is extremely good at camouflage, imitation and other means, and he gives his judgment from a professional point of view.

"Although I have not seen Marianne's body with my own eyes, I am 90% sure that Marianne did not die by suicide!"

Li Zijun's original question was also in these two aspects, and when he heard Fan Lunding's analysis, he nodded slightly.

"Then who poisoned her? Although on the surface, poisoning 'Marianne' seems to be similar to the method of stealing 'Blood Jade Ruyi' and assassinating the 'little princess,' and it seems that these three things came from the hand of one person, but if you think about it carefully, you feel that poisoning 'Marianne' is a suspicion of adding to the problem! With the meticulousness of laying out people's minds, he should never do such a thing. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about this?"

"We used to rob, and then we all did some cover-ups, could it be that the purpose of poisoning Marianne?" Seeing that everyone else was thinking, Monkey preemptively spoke his opinion.

"When we hunt, we do the same thing to prevent retaliation from the prey population. But that's all to erase our traces, we didn't find anything in the two things of stealing the 'Blood Jade Ruyi' and assassinating the 'little princess', it doesn't seem to make sense for the other party to do this?!" Padwin thought for a moment and said.

Hearing Baldwin's words, Li Zijun couldn't help but be a little surprised, he always thought that Baldwin was obsessed with martial arts and lacked attention to other things. But through Baldwin's two views today, Li Zijun suddenly found that he has a different perspective, and looking at problems from his perspective can often be closer to the essence of the matter. Li Zijun was in his heart, and he raised Baldwin's position by a few points.

"This is really the right description of the young master, and I have the same opinion as you and Patriarch Baldwin. Not only that, but Virgil Bixia's anger also surprised me a little!"

"Ever since the 'little princess' was sent to the church of the Illuminati, Virgil Bixia has always taken a blind attitude towards Marianne, and he has never given Marianne a good look, whether it is before or after. Some people even saw that Virgil Bixia once showed a hideous expression when facing Marianne, and he was very angry about Marianne's loss of 'Blood Jade Ruyi', which caused the 'little princess' to die. Under such circumstances, it seems that there is really no need for Virgil Bixia to be murderous for her!"

"And I just got the news that Virgil Bixia has been sad since he returned to the palace last night, but his behavior has returned to normal. It didn't take long for him to summon several people, zuihou, and also separately summoned the minister of the criminal department. It is said that the Minister of Punishment entered the palace of Virgil Bixia with a heavy face, but by the time he left, his steps had become much lighter. Based on this, the messenger guessed that Virgil Bixia most likely changed the previous order. ”

"What struck me the most strange thing was that Virgil Bixia was calm when she got the news of Marianne's suicide by poisoning, and was not as angry as the outside world rumored. At that time, Virgil Bixia did not give a direct order, but sat alone in the palace for a while, and then passed on the holy order. Extrapolating from this, this was by no means a decision made by Virgil Bixia in anger, and not only that, but I think that it was the result of Virgil Bixia's careful consideration. It's just that he wants to do this, and I still can't guess for a while!"

Regarding Virgil Bixia's performance after returning to the palace, Li Zijun has not received any news until now. Suddenly, hearing Elder Van Lunding mention it, he was secretly frightened, but he also had to sigh at the efficiency of the Night Elf intelligence network.

What makes Li Zijun even happier is that Van Lunding has begun to share information about the Night Elves with him, which also shows that the relationship between him and the Night Elves is one step closer.

It's just that Virgil Bixiaweishenme would give such an order while maintaining his sanity? Li Zijun couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Just when Li Zijun was puzzled, he suddenly saw the eyes of the other three people in the room, all focused on him at the moment.

This phenomenon is understandable, what caught Li Zijun's attention was the faint smile in their eyes, they all seemed to have found the answer.

In the flash of light, Li Zijun also found the answer, and he immediately shook his head with a wry smile.

The 'monkey' deliberately said it to show off his talents, while Padwin's understatement was meant to lead him to the right train of thought, and Van Lunding's finishing touch was to set the tone for his concluding remarks.

The three of them had a slap on their shoulders without a trace and with tacit understanding, but the funny thing is that Li Zijun knew that he only found the answer at this time, and realized the behavior of the three people around him. He had always thought he was a smart man, but then he suddenly realized that he was the most reckless person in the room.

"Don't tease me like this next time, you must know that this hurts your self-esteem!" Li Zijun touched his nose awkwardly and said with a wry smile.

The three of them looked at each other and shouted daxiao, zuihou, and Li Zijun also laughed with them.

In fact, the three of them doing this is also a temptation for Li Zijun, and the first creed of a smart person is usually to protect oneself with a wise mind! They don't want to be a subordinate of a jealous and capable person, because if that happens, they will end up with a bird hiding their bow and a rabbit dead and a dog cooking. Therefore, they teamed up to perform this scene to see how Li Zijun responded.

It should be said that they are very satisfied with Li Zijun's performance. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Li Zijun to see the smile in their eyes.

"So, all three of you think that Marianne's poisoning suicide was the result of Virgil Bixia's persecution? I guessed what you mean, but I still don't want to believe that Virgil Bixia would treat a woman who has just given birth to a child for herself!"

"Even if Marianne's idea of using the 'little princess' as a tool makes Virgil Bixia angry, she won't be so decisive, right?" Although Li Zijun had already guessed the answer, it was still difficult for him to convince himself to believe it.
