The promise stood in place, and many questions filled his mind, like threads that could not find the source, tangled together, and could not be solved.

Who exactly is the murderer?

Promise paid attention to the expressions of everyone around him, including Yue and Shiro, and even Nolan didn't escape his eyes, but ......

Everyone's behavior was normal, and Duke Nolan, as the person with the highest status other than Ye Bei at the moment, immediately asked people to protect Yue and Ziluo, and at the same time stepped forward to check Ye Bei's injuries.

"The wound was very serious, judging from the wound, it was a dagger of about five inches, and it was coated with poison. ”

Nolan was secretly frightened, from the light went out to the brightness again, it was only a short ten seconds, if it was just an ordinary person, it would be fine, but the old man in front of him, not to mention the guards around him, but his own strength was not weaker than anyone present, but the murderer relied on the dark ten seconds, not only killed all the guards around him, but also made the old man fall in a pool of blood without resistance.

"Immediately block the hall! No one is allowed to enter or leave, everyone takes out the utensils on their bodies, but anyone who resists will be killed!" Duke Nalan drew his sword and glared at everyone present, and the guards around him also raised their shields and swords, and firmly guarded the gate.

"There's no need anymore. ”

Nolan shook his head and vetoed Nalan's move, since the other party dared to assassinate the king, he must have made full preparations in advance, even if the dagger was found from someone at this time, it was probably just a scapegoat.

"Lord Nolan, how is Your Majesty?" Nalan calmed down, he was not stupid, he naturally knew what Nolan meant.

"It's badly wounded, but it's not life-threatening, it's just ......" Nolan paused again and again.

"Just what?"

"It's nothing, the responsibility for this matter lies with me, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and send Your Majesty to treatment, this injury must not be delayed, as for the murderer, I will personally investigate." Nolan Chaoyue and Ziluo beckoned, and comforted the two frightened children softly, "It's okay, uncle is here, no one can hurt you." ”

Promise stepped forward, wanting to comfort Yue and Ziluo, and when he looked for clues by the way, Ziluo suddenly screamed, "Don't come here!"

"What's wrong?" Promise was confused, completely unable to understand why Zi Luo reacted so much.

"It's you, it's you, I saw it, it's you!" Yue pointed to the father and son, and said loudly, as if he was afraid that others would not hear him.

"Princess, do you know what you're talking about?" Promise was shocked in his heart, it was pitch black, he had never left the place at all, this black pot was inexplicable.

"You did it, Duke Nalan, what are you waiting for, arrest their father and son for me!" Yue Shu said categorically.

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall, everyone present who didn't know their father and son, Nolan had a transcendent status in North Wind City, and Ye Bei had known each other since childhood, holding tens of thousands of city guards, and the Nuo family's forces were all over the north, and when Ye Bei took the throne, he was also the godfather of the two highnesses, and there was no reason to assassinate Ye Bei at all.

"What, you still want to kill our father and son?" Nolan stood up and snorted coldly, the guards beside him drew their swords and came out, except for Ye Bei himself, who would dare to move their Nuo family in North Wind City?

"Put down your sword for me!" The prince and princess may have been frightened, and they were wrong, I believe in Lord Nolan's character, he would not do such a thing. "Duke Nalan didn't fall into the trap, but helped Nolan speak.

"However, since the two highnesses are sure that you did it, it is difficult for me to directly rule out the suspicion of you and your son, and please do not resist for the time being, and cooperate with my investigation until the murderer is found. Duke Nalan turned his words around, walked up to Nolan himself, and reached out to remove the long sword from his waist.

Countless swords were suddenly aimed at Nalan, and as long as he made another half move, he would be stabbed into a hornet's nest in the next second.

"Heh, in that case, I don't defend anything, but Nalan I want to remind you, you can arrest me, but if you dare to move, don't blame me for turning my face and denying people, this matter is not done by us, if you have to buckle my head, the consequences will be borne by your family. Nolan sneered, took off the long sword at his waist, and threw it on the ground.

"This is natural, but before that, you have to wronged Lord Nolan first, you guys, escort Lord Nolan back, I will personally tell the queen, as for the others, since Lord Nolan has said so, you can leave after leaving your name." Nalan picked up Nolan's sword and waved his hand for the guards to escort him down.

The change happened too suddenly, and in less than a moment, Nolan and his son were identified as murderers, Ye Bei was seriously injured and sent back, and the students and teachers who came to the dance were all pale.

"Young Master Promise, if Your Majesty dies because of this, this crime of killing the monarch is not something that anyone can afford, and your father is the same, if it is confirmed in the end, it is indeed your father and son, I will personally come to invite you. Nalan's whisper was still in his ears.

Leaving a mess, the promise in the hall stood in place, and he still hadn't reacted.

"What's going on?"

Promise's brain was a mess at the moment, and he restrained his rebuttal, since his father was willing to tie his hands and protect himself, it was useless to jump out at this moment, and he had to prove his innocence in the shortest possible time.

Although he has never seen the torture in prison, he has also heard of it slightly, no one has ever been able to last more than three days, it is hell, Duke Nalan has always had a bad relationship with their Nuo family, and there is a lot of friction between each other, at this moment, no matter whether Yue and Ziluo's remarks are true or false, they will take this opportunity to severely suppress the Nuo family, it is best to force Nolan to admit it himself, the greater the crime, the better, enough for them to connect the entire Nuo family and send troops to exterminate it.

For the first time, the promise was cornered, and there was no one to rely on, and the thoughts became clear.

When the murderer acted, he and Zi Luo had just finished dancing, about ten steps away from the king's position, and his father was sitting not far from the king's right hand, which was indeed the easiest position to start, but the problem was that the wound on the king's body was on the left side of his waist, stabbed by a short dagger, and from this point of view, it could never be his father's hand.

At that time, the hall was pitch black, and before that it was as bright as the day, ordinary people couldn't adapt to the change of light in that short ten seconds, let alone Yue and Ziluo, they should not be able to see anything like themselves, how could they conclude that the murderer was himself and his father?

Or maybe they didn't need to see who it was, they just wanted to identify him and Nolan.

A terrifying inference was formed in the mind of the promise, and the inference he had made before seemed to have no problems, but it was too much to take for granted.

Now, if you think about it all backwards, maybe the opposite is true.

Assuming that Xiao Shu was telling a lie, that Moon and Violet were dropped by him, and that Night Crow was seriously injured and fell into a coma because he found out all this, his previous speech and demeanor may have only deliberately led him to be suspicious of Moon and Violet, and to test him at the dance, thus deepening his suspicions.

Since he was able to seriously injure the night crow, it would not be so surprising to kill the guards in the pitch black, and as for the final stabbing of this king, it should not be him, but Yue or Ziluo, who was the least suspicious by Ye Bei.

Promise checked the wounds of the dead guards separately, all of them were fatal blows, without the slightest resistance, he could almost imagine the expression on Ye Bei's face when he was engrossed in facing a strong enemy, but was stabbed by the child behind him.

But this still can't explain how a strong person like Ye Bei could completely lose his resistance after being stabbed, even if the knife is poisonous, but Ye Bei's appearance seems to be unable to even get up from the chair, so he fell down like this?

"Yes, no matter how smart Your Majesty is, he will not be wary of his own children, otherwise he would not be so easily acquired. Promise caught a glimpse of the pool of liquid on the ground that was about to dry up, and he couldn't tell whether it was wine or blood.

But even if he almost guessed the truth, there was no evidence, let alone identifying Yue and Ziluo, even if he said that Xiao Shu was the murderer, no one would believe it at all, the other party arranged it so thoroughly, it seemed that there was no flaw left at all, and Nalan's takeover made Yue and Ziluo's testimony, which was originally not enough to convince everyone, become the last move in the dead game.

"Damn it!"

Promise slammed his fist on the ground, he should have thought of it a long time ago, the wrong thing between Yue and Ziluo, the chance encounter with Xiao Shu, and the fact that he came to the dance party to tentatively invite Ziluo to dance, all this happened too naturally.

Looking back, there are indeed too many things wrong, but what Xiao Shu said at that time was so shocking that he didn't think too deeply about it for a while, but he still thought he was smart, and now he was good, and he didn't know it when he was being played with and applauded.

"In hindsight, promise, promise, you are conceited and smart, it's ridiculous, no matter who you are, I won't let you go!" Promise gritted his teeth and said, every word seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, and he punched the ground a few times as if he was venting, and the skin of his hands was open and bloody.

The pain stimulated Promise's nerves and calmed his eyes, now that he has a judgment, the easiest way is to find the leader of the Iron Guard, Night Crow, as long as he can wake up, all the mysteries can be solved, but the problem is that even Ye Bei can't wake up Night Crow in a short time, and Nalan won't give him so much time.

The other party tried his best to plan this assassination, but he did not kill Ye Bei directly, this promise has its own inference, because once Ye Bei is dead, even if Yue and Ziluo are the legitimate heirs, they will also be unable to suppress the various families because of their age, but as long as Ye Bei is still alive, no matter what the state is, those families will not be able to turn the sky upside down.

"Lingwan's medical area...... Faculty dormitory central?"

The promise grasped the most critical point, the purpose of the other party's poisoning was to let Ye Bei live without dying, but Ye Bei's strong physical fitness would cause the toxin to spread slowly, if he was treated in time, or even if Teacher Yu personally healed, maybe he would recover.

But this is something they absolutely will not allow to happen, and the promise immediately stood up and rushed towards the medical area, whether it was too late or not, he would go over, even if it was just chasing the other party's back, it was better than being in a daze here.
