Lian Xiang nodded in a daze, “Right.”
Su Miao laughed, “That’s it then In your testimony, the Neishang Sheriff Lord died shortly after the tournament ended. However, when you encountered the Nishang County Mistress, it was long after the tournament ended.”
The crowd grew more and more shocked.
“How is …… this possible?!”
“People are dead, and Lady Xianfei encountered a ghost oh?!”
“Isn’t it a wrong time?”
“………”
But saw Su Miao shook her head, “Time is not wrong after the match, I first went to the East Ling State Master to collect the Soul Transformation Grass, and then chatted with the Emperor for a while, and then remembered that there was something to ask the State Master, so I went to look for him again, and then finally lagged outside with the Emperor for a long time. The entire process, took about an hour before I returned to Changle Palace which the Emperor can also attest to.”
Saying this, all eyes looked towards the emperor.
Di Bei Yu nodded, “Not bad.”
Su Miao said, “So, between the two Nishang county lords that Lianxiang and I saw, one of them is bound to be a fake.”
On her way back to Changle Palace, she met Hua Nishang.
And this time, it was after Lianxiang saw Hua Nishang die.
The timing didn’t match up, so there were only two possibilities either Lianxiang had encountered a fake, or she had encountered a fake.
Thinking about this, her gaze steeply glanced towards the illusory ghostly figure in mid-air and abruptly narrowed her eyes, “You are not Hua Nishang!”
Hiss ……
In the crowd, there was an outcry!
The ghostly figure of Hua Nishang in midair also changed colour, “What did you say? Since you saw two of them, what makes you say I’m the fake one?!”
“Well ……”
Su Miao blinked, “Originally, there were indeed two possibilities, but the murderer was too stupid and just cut out one possibility.”
The crowd, “……???”
They were probably just as stupid as the murderer, not knowing why the other possibility was cut out!
But when she said that, no one was too embarrassed to ask!
If they asked, wouldn’t it prove that they were stupid?
The Empress Dowager frowned.
Di Bei Yu met her gaze and explained, ”Unless the murderer was trying to create an alibi and cover up the crime, that’s why he needed to make a fake Hua Nishang to blur the time. But now, all the evidence has pointed to Consort Yi, the murderer has no need to do this.”
It was as if the murderer had killed someone in the morning, and in the afternoon, he had deliberately found someone to pretend to be the deceased walking down the road while he himself drank tea in a teahouse where a crowd had gathered, so that he would have a sufficient alibi.
But now, the murderer doesn’t need an alibi because all the evidence already points to Yi Fei.
The Empress Dowager understands what they mean, it’s just ……”
She frowned: all of this deduction is based on the fact that Yi Fei is not the murderer If Yi Fei is the murderer, then isn’t it normal for her to create an alibi for herself without knowing that there are eyewitnesses?”
Su Miao raised her eyebrows and pointed to the ghostly figure in mid-air, “But Empress Dowager, didn’t this ghost just say that I am the murderer?”
Empress Dowager, “………”
The ghost in mid-air, “………”
Su Miao’s gaze sneered as she looked at the ghost, the bottom of her eyes suddenly flooded with a cold, chilling light, “So, this ghost is lying she’s not the Nishang County Lord at all!”
She said word by word, “What Lianxiang saw was a fake, what I saw later was the real Hua Nishang!”
As soon as the words fell, a sound of cold air being sucked in suddenly rang out from the crowd.
