Chapter 164
"What nonsense are you spouting! How could I possibly be the murderer? I'm not even Blood Clan, how could I have sucked all his blood dry?" Ji Bo glared at Big Boss.
"That's not necessarily true." Big Boss revealed a gentle and sunny smile, pointing at the Corpse on the ground: "Look, this Si Wang Zhe was stabbed from behind, lying face down on the ground, what does this indicate?"
"Indicate what?"
"Indicates this is a case committed by an acquaintance."
"A stab in the back can prove it's an acquaintance's crime?" Ji Bo sneered coldly.
"A stab in the back naturally can't prove it, but the Si Wang Zhe fell with his back facing the Door." Big Boss shook his head: "The actual situation should be like this, the Si Wang Zhe heard the sound of knocking on the door afterwards, opened the door, saw the murderer."
"And the Si Wang Zhe simply didn't believe the murderer would kill him, so he turned around, exposing his back to him."
"And the murderer took advantage of this time, killed with one strike, piercing straight through the back of the heart."
"And those who satisfy this kind of condition, can only possibly be an acquaintance, and not an ordinary acquaintance, must also be an extremely trusted person."
Speaking to here, Big Boss paused, looked at Master Tata: "I want to ask, Miss Ratania, are you very familiar with the Si Wang Zhe?"
"No, of course not familiar, I don't know him at all!" Tata hurriedly said.
"Since that's the case, then she fundamentally has no opportunity to make a move."
After hearing Big Boss's analysis, the Crowd present all fell into deep thought.
Several Full Moon Academy Guards, also all looked at Big Boss with thoughtful expressions.
"Hmm, this set of explanation, is just like my Ice Block Suicide Method, flawless."
That Guard said.
I'll go fuck you!
The other several Colleagues had faces full of resentment.
This set of rhetoric, is far more reasonable than the Ice Block Suicide Method!
Vivian looked at Big Boss, smiling faintly without leaving a trace.
Truly didn't expect, this intricate and complex, utterly clueless case, Li Cheng Brother merely made a slight move, and has already solved more than half.
Indeed, wherever Li Cheng Brother is, all difficulties can be easily resolved.
Ji Bo's complexion also became not too good, but he still hardened his scalp and said:
"What can this prove? Perhaps Ratania secretly has an unusual relationship with Royal Brother, only we all don't know!"
"Don't you spout nonsense!"
Hearing these words, Ratania became anxious, everything else could be endured, but this kind of words absolutely could not be endured no matter what.
These words, aren't they just saying she and this Si Wang Zhe secretly had an illicit affair?
"Ratania and the Si Wang Zhe's relationship how, as long as investigate among the Si Wang Zhe's relatives, friends, and classmates one can know." Big Boss shook his head: "But what I want to say is, among the people present, there is one who has an unusual relationship with this Si Wang Zhe."
"The two of them, share the same mother."
"Are real blood brothers."
"You say right, Ji Bo Brother?"
As the words fell, everyone present's Gaze all turned towards Ji Bo, and Ji Bo's face also became increasingly gloomy.
Correct, if following Big Boss's analysis, then oneself indeed has very large suspicion.
But the problem is he indeed didn't kill Royal Brother ah.
He didn't do anything, how can he bear this kind of black pot? "Hehe, truly too ridiculous, why would I go kill my own blood brother?"
"This kind of thing isn't very normal?" Big Boss said lightly: "In case in the future you want to inherit the throne, every single brother and sister by your side, are all your enemies, aren't they?"
"Audacious!" Ji Bo hadn't spoken yet, two old things couldn't stand it anymore, coldly rebuked: "Tianming Divine Court's majesty cannot be desecrated!"
"It is this one who misspoke." Big Boss apologized verbally, but in his tone there wasn't a shred of repentance.
And the Eat Melon Crowd present, also all looked at Ji Bo with burning eyes, whispering privately, speculating whether he really because of throne inheritance matters, struck the killing blow.
"Truly filthy and despicable, personally killed Royal Brother, yet still wants to frame and shift blame."
"Exactly, has Royal Clan already fallen to this Appearance?"
"Maybe not Royal Clan fallen, but just this person despicable."
These voices like Heavy Hammers one after another, fiercely smashed against Ji Bo's heart, his complexion becoming increasingly ugly.
If public opinion continues to develop like this, he really will solidify as the murderer who killed the King's Brother.
This is a heinous heavy crime.
"Nonsense! I, I, even if I did make a move on King Brother, I also don't have the means to commit the crime ah! Royal Brother's body's blood, was all sucked dry, this is obviously Blood Clan's doing, could your meaning be, I've already become a Blood Clan?"
Ji Bo gritted his teeth and defended.
And the Eat Melon Crowds also all looked back at Miss Ratania.
For a moment, the scene froze.
"If that's the case." One of the old monsters coughed once: "Then take Ji Bo back under escort too."
"Uncle, I didn't..." Ji Bo's face tightened.
"Alright, you say two sentences less first." Old monster looked at Big Boss: "Ratania and Ji Bo both have suspicion, then take the two of them back to King's Court, interrogate uniformly."
"Our Tianming Divine Court won't catch wrong any Bad Person, also won't wrong any Good Person."
Speaking he again looked at Ji Bo gave a meaningful look.
Ji Bo immediately understood, Mouth Corner again revealed a calm smile.
As long as can take Ratania away, that so-called truth, who cares about it? And Big Boss yet again revealed a gentle smile, continued looking at Ji Bo: "Two seniors, I feel things don't need to be this troublesome."
"What meaning?" Two old monsters narrowed their eyes.
"Because my deduction hasn't finished speaking yet." Big Boss continued: "Due to the previous several cases' reason, Academy's Guards came very fast, this exceeded the murderer's expectation."
"So, the murderer hadn't yet come in time to leave the crime scene, was blocked here by the arriving Guards."
"In order to Conceal his own killing action, also to better Bring Rhythm, this murderer then went with the flow and Turned Around, Acting as a Zhengfa Guan who just arrived at the crime scene, Inspecting the Si Wang Zhe's Appearance."
"Am I right, Brother Ji Bo?"
"How would I know? I'm not the murderer!" The gloom on Ji Bo's face deepened further.
"Is that so? But as a Special Envoy of the Tianming Divine Court, your lodging is a full 5 kilometers from the school building. May I ask how you managed to arrive here before the Academy Guards even reached the scene?"
Big Boss narrowed his eyes: "Could it be that you foresaw in a dream that your Royal Brother would be killed?"
As his words fell, the faces of the magic guards also abruptly showed shock.
Indeed, when they arrived at the scene, these Special Envoys of the Tianming Divine Court had indeed already arrived.
Not only had they arrived, but this big fire was also extinguished by them.
At the start, the Full Moon Academy's guards hadn't thought deeply in this direction.
But now, with Big Boss putting it this way, they discovered the strangeness of the matter.
We only just reacted, how did you all already get here?
Meanwhile, their gazes toward Big Boss became even more incredulous.
How could this youth's insight be so sharp? "Such insight, in solving cases, Big Boss is only slightly inferior to me."
That guard who thought of the Ice Block Murder Method spoke again.
This time, his colleagues directly covered his mouth, not letting him continue to embarrass himself.
"I..." And Ji Bo was also struck speechless on the spot, not knowing how to explain.
Could it be he was supposed to tell everyone present that before coming to Full Moon Academy he had been instructed to cooperate with the murderer inside the academy to complete the murder case and take Latanaya away? Could it be he was supposed to tell everyone that he had long known his Royal Brother would die? For a moment, public opinion reversed, everyone stared tightly at Ji Bo, wanting to see the answer from his face.
And Ji Bo also quite cooperatively had trembling lips, sweat profusely, continuously wiping the sweat beads on his forehead.
"What is there to explain?" An old monster spoke: "It was I who had Ji Bo, taking advantage of the moonlight, patrol inside the academy a few more times, inspect the terrain, so as not to not know the way when catching the murderer later and let the murderer escape."
"That's how it is, I just happened to be on patrol, and heard a miserable scream, that's all!" Ji Bo hurriedly let out a breath of relief.
"Is this arrangement of mine excessive, Director Adult?" The old monster also looked at the Full Moon Queen.
And Vivian merely coldly snorted, not speaking.
"Big Boss, I admit your reasoning has some merit." Another old monster spoke: "But this cannot prove that Ji Bo is the murderer of this case."
"After all, everything you said is reasoning, there is no solid evidence."
"You still haven't answered, why the fresh blood on the corpse was sucked dry."
"As long as this one point cannot be answered, Latanaya's suspicion will always exist."
"Worthy of being old things who have lived centuries, thinking is still quite clear." Big Boss clapped his hands toward him, then mockingly said: "But my previous reasoning was not to prove Ji Bo is the murderer."
"I just want to say, because the Academy Guards arrived too fast, he didn't have time to deal with the murder weapon."
"So that Relic that sucked dry his brother's fresh blood should be hidden on his person right now!"
His voice was deliberate and resounding. And all the whispered discussions in the venue also stagnated at this moment.
Everyone's gazes once again gathered on Ji Bo.
And this time, his face was no longer panic, but an inexplicable smile.
A few seconds later, he held his belly and started laughing wildly: "Haha, haha, hahaha, I can't take it, I'm about to laugh to death."
"Big Boss, Big Boss, I thought you still had some brilliant move, didn't expect it's merely this."
In Ji Bo's view, if Big Boss bit down on the issue of his arrival time, then no matter what, he could pin the suspect identity on himself.
Although it couldn't change the final outcome of the matter, it could also add quite a bit of trouble for him.
But now he actually says the murder weapon is hidden on his person...
Isn't this equivalent to putting the answer to this question right in front of everyone?
As long as there is no murder weapon on him, that means this matter has nothing to do with him at all! You argued a big circle, but in the end, you're helping me clear my suspicion.
Ridiculous, really too ridiculous! Whether I killed or not, don't I know in my own heart?
Thinking here, Ji Bo looked at Big Boss, wiped away tears that flowed from excessive laughter:
"Fine, since you want to search, then I'll let you search."
"Look yourself, where on me is there any blood-sucking Relic!"
"And this Storage Ring, search it as much as you can!" Speaking, he plucked off his own ring, hands also rummaging non-stop in his pockets: "Right, my attendants, do you want to search them too? Then search, one by one, who to start with?"
The two old monsters also looked at Big Boss, revealing relieved smiles.
This little guy, though clever, has ultimately seen too little of the world.
This murder case fundamentally wasn't done by their investigation team, so how could there be any murder weapon?
The Latanaya matter is as good as settled.
Thinking here, they spoke: "Right, correct, Ji Bo, properly cooperate with Mr. Big Boss, let him search, search happily, search to his heart's content."
"Yeah, turn out all your pockets, let him see if you have any murder weapon on you!"
Their faces both wore victors' smiles, but a few seconds later, they didn't get Ji Bo's agreement.
The two turned heads together, cast doubtful gazes, but only saw a face incomparably pale, and filled with disbelief.
"No, impossible."
Ji Bo's hand inserted in his trouser pocket, lips trembling, whole body spasming, breathing rapid, even by his ears it seemed to be filled with eerie inexplicable whispers.
Because he really touched a Relic, a Relic that can suck dry a corpse's fresh blood, forge it into a Blood Clan crime Relic.
Weeping Blood Rose —
This is the King's Court's secret treasure, not only can it absorb fresh blood from corpses, but can also use that blood to materialize all kinds of weapons and puppets.
The higher the grade of blood inside, the stronger the weapons and puppets materialized.
This Relic, Ji Bo had once seen in the King's Court's Treasure Vault.
But with his strength and rank, he still couldn't obtain such a bestowal.
At this moment, he only felt his limbs turn icy cold, an emotion called despair and incredulity surging in his mind.
How is this possible?
How could this thing be in my arms? Who put it there? Who silently, soundlessly placed this thing into my arms? How did he do it? What the hell is going on? He didn't know that all of this was thanks to Li Cheng's questioning.
Dian Huo Lao Ye also had quite a bit of his lifespan deducted because of this~ And Vivian also spoke up at just the right moment: "Hehe, our little friend Ji Bo, why aren't you speaking anymore?"
"Could it be that you really have the murder weapon that killed your own royal brother in your arms?"
"No, there isn't, how could I..."
Ji Bo still wanted to quibble, but Vivian merely waved her hand lightly.
Then he felt his body being controlled, and the hand grasping the Blood Rose slowly pulled out from his trouser pocket.
The blood-colored Rose bloomed in full glory within the room, its plump petals saturated with fresh blood, crimson and dazzling.
"Hehe, the Blood Rose's Tears? I recall this is a Relic that Tifeng's mother researched for the Tianming Divine Court." Vivian smiled mockingly: "A Relic that can accumulate the fresh blood of the masses; on the Battlefield, even if only one person remains, it can maintain the Army's Combat Power."
"Unexpectedly, today it was used by you to kill your own clansmen."
"Ridiculous, Ji Bo, truly ridiculous."
At this moment, whether it was Ji Bo or the two old monsters, their expressions were particularly amusing.
Ji Bo's face was written full of Despair.
While the two old monsters' faces were full of Humiliation and Anger.
Everyone Knows what it means for this Relic to be pulled out.
Ji Bo's Crime is Solidified.
"That's not right, this isn't real, someone framed me, someone set me up, someone deliberately put this thing in my arms!" Ji Bo fell to his knees with a Bang: "Full Moon Queen Adult, you see clearly down to the finest detail, you must uphold justice for me!"
"Uphold justice for you? Don't make a Joke!"
Li Cheng Cold Snorted: "Ji Bo, your two Uncles are still present, they are Strong Ones approaching Tier 10, among those present, who could hide from their eyes and put something in your pocket?"
"Are you suspecting my family's Dean?"
"Are you suspecting that my family's Dean, to protect his own student, would use such despicable means?"
"In your eyes, my family's Dean is such a lowly, shameless person!"
"Ji Bo, you really have a lot of nerve!"
He simply didn't give Ji Bo a chance to Refute, a string of rapid-fire words sprayed out, every sentence a Moral Kidnapping.
Sure enough, Ji Bo was incomparably panic-stricken, continuously kowtowing, speaking incoherently: "No, no, it's not like that, that's not what I meant, I, I was wrong, I really was wrong, this matter wasn't done by me, wasn't done by me..."
"I didn't murder my Royal Brother!"
"The evidence is conclusive, yet you still want to deny it?" Li Cheng Cold Snorted again: "I think the other 5 people were also killed by you."
"Impossible, I only just arrived at the Academy, my guards can all prove it, I have an alibi!" Ji Bo Roared: "It wasn't me, absolutely not me!"
"This is very simple, I think it was King's Court members who helped you build a Transmission Magic Array in the Academy. And the people you killed were precisely those who built the array."
"You're a Liar, you're a Liar, don't be fooled by him!" Ji Bo looked at the Crowd, eyes bulging, filled with red bloodshot veins.
But the onlooking Crowd, not a single one believed him, merely smiling mockingly.
"The evidence is..." Li Cheng didn't pay him any mind, continuing to speak calmly: "Inside this Blood Rose, the blood of those 5 deceased Dead Ones should also be able to be found."
"Oh?"
Vivian raised an eyebrow, pinching out a Magic Seal with her hand.
The Blood Rose's Tears immediately erupted with crimson light, and exactly 6 blood-colored human figures projected from within, Standing Up in the room.
Their Gaze was dull, not a trace of emotion in their Pupils, yet they spontaneously Kneel towards Ji Bo, shouting Master.
Besides Ji Bo's elder brother who just died in the room, the remaining 5 of these six were precisely the 5 deceased Heavenly Destiny Nobility.
At this moment, the truth is fully revealed!
"Impossible, I only just arrived at the Academy, my guards can all prove I had No Time to kill them! I'm dreaming, that's right, I must be dreaming."
Ji Bo Powerlessly collapsed on the ground, Murmuring to himself, the color already gone from his eyes.
No matter how he thought, he couldn't understand how the Blood Rose's Tears got into his pocket.
Even more, he couldn't understand why the blood shadows in the Blood Rose's Tears would call him Master.
Isn't it only the person who Uses the Blood Rose to collect blood who gets called Master?
But he simply has no Memory of Killing these people! He clearly only just arrived at the Full Moon Academy! Just then, a fragmentary Memory surged into his mind.
In the Memory, he saw himself standing before a Mirror, wearing a cloak on his head, giving a Command to himself in the Mirror: "Go kill those Royal Clan members, bring Latanaya back."
Then he took off the cloak, knelt on one knee, and said Devoutly: "Yes, Adult, I will definitely accomplish it."
He seemed to be playing two roles, one side giving himself orders, the other side receiving his own orders.
By day he followed the guards, traveling in a Carriage; by night he alone came to the Full Moon Academy to commit crimes through Transmission Magic.
The guards were his alibi; he hunted his clansmen's fresh blood like this, and still wanted to pin the blame on Latanaya.
Those Memories were incomparably clear, just as if he really did these things.
But simultaneously, there was another segment of Memory in his mind.
A segment of the Crown Prince's Consort giving him a Command, telling him to come to the Academy to cooperate with assassins, to bring away Latanaya.
This segment of Memory was equally incomparably clear!
At this moment, Ji Bo Hugged his own head, Bloodshot Eyes, Long Sigh towards the sky: "Can't tell apart, can't tell apart, I really can't tell apart!"
