EBE Chapter 405: Squeak
Chapter 405: Squeak
The case has been full of twists and turns so far.
Originally, it was simply and roughly concluded that it was Zhu Jiu, but it turned out to be Ling Yuanhan, and now both the Crown Princess and the Seventeenth Prince are suspects.
Qiu Sheng answered whatever was asked, very honestly, but what he said was very suspicious.
It looked as if he was threatened by the princess.
The Seventeenth Prince's party flatly denied Qiu Sheng's accusation. Ling Yuanhan said that he only sent an undercover agent and had no instructions to harm the old emperor. This was an order from Ling Yuanlong.
The princess party took Qiu Sheng's words as the truth, and Ling Yuanlong said that he didn't know Qiu Sheng at all.
The murderer is mysterious.
In fact, from Ling Yuanhan's perspective, the situation is not bad because they can make excuses.
Unlike before, when the evidence was right in front of their faces and they dared not say a word, now they insisted that it was the princess who hired Qiu Sheng to kill people and frame them in order to get promoted as quickly as possible.
Ling Yuanlong's side was shrouded in dark clouds. Compared to the sure victory just now, he was indeed in trouble now, but he was not to be overturned.
After all, all the evidence pointed to Ling Yuanhan, and they claimed that it must be Ling Yuanhan who had evil intentions.
They each insisted on their own opinion and the argument was very intense, and the situation came to a stalemate.
If it weren't for outsiders like Jueya, they would have probably resorted to violence long ago instead of engaging in a war of words.
Only the Queen Mother endured the sadness.
Xingjun said: "I don't think anyone cares how the old man died, they only care about who will be the emperor."
"Who do you think is the mastermind behind this?"
Zhu Jiu sat on Mo Huaizun's neck and asked, "What do you think?"
"From the results, the death of the old emperor did not benefit the princess at all. On the contrary, because the timing was too early, the Seventeenth Prince's faction had not been substantially weakened, resulting in many obstacles for the princess to succeed to the throne."
"On the contrary, Ling Yuanhan has directly lost his immediate superior who was suppressing him, and his possibility of succession has greatly increased. This is very beneficial to him."
Xingjun’s analysis is very logical.
"This murder was planned, so based on the beneficiaries, the mastermind behind it must be Ling Yuanhan."
Zhu Jiu was pleased: "Whose star is so smart? Oh, it turns out to be mine~"
"... Let's talk about business, stop making trouble." Xing Jun couldn't hold it anymore and gave a serious reminder, but his tone was a little vague.
"Okay." Zhu Jiu restrained his smile, "It depends on who Qiu Sheng belongs to."
Xingjun was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Zhu Jiu to say that.
Zhu Jiu: "Just now when Mo Huaizun privately checked the information of the owner of the Bloody Tower, I took a look at it."
"Qiu Sheng is not a professional killer. Although he is strong, he is greedy for money. When he was still the owner of the building, he was bribed and killed by his 'prey' three times. The nature of the incidents was serious, and they were all hidden by Ling Yuanhan."
"She's a knife without a handle."
Xingjun opened his eyes wide, "You mean..."
"She is a double undercover agent." Zhu Jiu said in a deep tone.
……
The two factions are arguing loudly. If there are no more discoveries or evidence, it is expected that the progress of solving the case today will only end here.
When Mo Huaizun figured out the "double undercover" thing, he felt a chill on his ears, a little itchy.
Zhu Jiu was pinching his earlobe.
Mo Huaizun's clear thoughts instantly turned into a mess, and his skin turned slightly red.
How could this woman do this in public?
The guardian elder noticed Mo Huaizun's abnormality with his sharp eyes. Thinking that it had happened several times today, he felt something was not right and asked worriedly.
"Chief, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing. It's just that the weather in Jiling is too hot and I can't adapt to it." Mo Huaizun drooped his eyelashes, his voice a little hoarse.
"..."
Are you serious?
Mo Huaizun was thinking about how to warn Zhu Jiu to stop, but his chin was pushed and his gaze turned to the old emperor's corpse.
What does she do?
Mo Huaizun was stunned, and then he saw Gu Yixiao, who had been silently examining the old emperor's body, had a strange expression on his face.
Something moved in his heart.
"What did Miss Gu find?"
