After a series of investigations, Fan Mu had a basic understanding of the case. He slightly raised his eyebrows, and swept his peripheral vision over the people in front of him. He was thinking about whether he could solve this doubt of his.
After understanding what the little guy wanted to know, the beautiful woman replied, "Sorry, little brother, because that person was masked and it was already night time, the surroundings were very dark. I couldn't see his face clearly, and I couldn't be sure that she was General Murong. However, I could clearly see that he was wearing the Seven Stars Treasure Sword, so I told everyone that he was General Murong himself."
His tone was filled with doubt as to why the general would dress up like that that night, no one knew.
Fan Mu looked at each other and smiled. According to common sense, since he had been masked, he would not reveal anything that revealed his information to the public. Such a violation of common sense could only be explained through intentional actions.
So Fan Mu's eyes met the beautiful woman's and he asked, "Oh, so that means that it might not be General Murong himself?" He lowered his voice and tried to confirm whether the beautiful woman was speaking the truth or not with a hint of sharpness.
"This, I should be able to say more or less like this right? I've already told him everything I know .." So, little brother, my mission is over, right? Can we go back now? " The beautiful woman seemed to be in a panic, but she managed to adjust her mood in an instant. On the surface, she smiled, but it was an inexplicable feeling of intimacy. The beautiful woman looked at Fan Mu seriously, and felt rather amused.
"En, in that case, sister will go back to your work." Fan Mu nodded, not paying too much attention to matters unrelated to the case, and continued to immerse himself in his own thoughts.
Perhaps he was too focused that he forgot there was someone beside him who did not ask.
"Ai, I say young man, why are you leaving us here?" A young man beside the beautiful woman asked unhappily after she left.
"Oh oh, eh? "I'm sorry, I was just thinking." Fan Mu scratched his head in embarrassment, not knowing that he had made them wait for a long time.
"Forget it, it's good that it can be resolved. We can't let General Murong suffer injustice," the young man said righteously, as if he was a loyal supporter of Murong Yi.
Fan Mu nodded, and continued to ask, "Hmm, well, then, what are you all doing at the time of the scandal? Did you notice anything strange? "
"Cough cough, let me think. The two of us are on night watch here. That night, we were coincidentally guarding a house right in front of Consort Xia." The man pointed to a room around the corner.
"So something unusual happened?" Fan Mu followed the direction of his finger and checked the location of the house. Indeed, if they were there, no matter what happened in the Imperial Consort's room, it would not escape their notice.
"There's nothing out of the ordinary. I just feel that the lighting in the room is a bit strange." Another young man recalled.
"Hmm? "Why do you say that? Just say it," Fan Mu couldn't wait to know the result, so he continued to ask.
"This, please listen to me, in my eyes, the light in the room seems to be under control, it is very fickle, we have been on guard for a long time, we have never encountered such a thing," the man spoke with complete sincerity, and could not see any hidden meaning, so Fan Mu did not interrupt him to let him continue his narration.
The light was normal at first, but suddenly it dimmed a lot. Strangely, on the right side, a shadow appeared, and from its outline, it should be something like a lamp, but it wasn't too bright, and we didn't know why the two of us fell asleep, so after about two hours, the sound of breaking glass woke us up, and when we looked again, the light in the middle was gone, and the right side was still shining. One of the two men, a slightly tanned young man, gave a detailed account of the process. From time to time, it was accompanied by some physical movements to facilitate others' understanding.
"So did anything happen before you fell asleep, or did you know why you fell asleep on duty?" Fan Mu grabbed one of the details and pressed on. For a night watchman, falling asleep during work hours was something he shouldn't do.
This, it seems .. "The dark-skinned man shot a glance at his companion, as if to make sure that there was such a thing, and after they agreed to each other's request, he said with certainty," At that time, there seemed to be a quiet fragrance, and then we didn't know anything. "
"Oh? "I get it. So it's possible that someone intentionally let you sleep to prevent you from being seen in the house?" Fan Mu gave a preliminary analysis, his rising tone sounding like he was probing someone beside him.
Si Kong was slightly stunned. He felt that the cold air was targeting him, but he did not say anything. He only pretended to look decent.
The two young men understood what Fan Mu was thinking, and explained, "We also thought that there were people who were confused, but the officials insisted that it was because of us, saying that it was only to find a reason to get rid of the false pretences, and for this reason we were often scolded by the Lady Boss .."
Fan Mu shook his hand and laughed. "Sigh, you can't say such things. Things should have been told the truth. Let's speak with the truth."
When the two men heard this, they laughed and replied, "If that's the case, then we'll be relying on you, young brother. However, the main point is not us, but General Murong."
"Naturally, if the general is innocent, I will definitely give him justice," Fan Mu said tactfully, not wanting the Division to bring about any unnecessary trouble.
The three of them looked at each other, smiled at each other, and then said goodbye.
"And you?" Fan Mu turned around and asked the last middle-aged man. From the way he dressed in black, with a black veil covering his face and armed with a long spear, he should be a good member of the Black-Faced Hawk group.
"I am the first one to discover, and I am the person who saw General Murong running out of the house in fear." The man's voice sounded old and cold, as if it had been handled, but Fan Mu could hear a trace of warmth in his voice. That kind of benevolence and righteousness that would make a general innocent even if it meant death.
"Please tell me, if there's anything wrong, just tell me." Like before, Fan Mu was the first to ask about the case.
"Just like what little brother said, what I saw in the general's eyes was not anxiety but an indescribable fear, not because he accidentally killed someone, not because of the reprimanding in his heart, but rather because of a kind of fear that came from the depths of his heart, a kind of fear that came from the depths of his bones." The Divine Hawk guard vividly described the general's attitude at that time, and after following the general for so long, he had never seen the general like this before, so when he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his heart, how could such a person be a murderer?
"Uncle, don't worry. I know it will be hard for you to accept, so I hope you can tell me everything you know. Besides the general's attitude being different, is there anything else worth noting?" Fan Mu tried to calm the heart of the Divine Eagle Guard, and asked after he calmed down.
"This?" Hearing you say this, I remember that the fire in the house wasn't very large at the time, but I heard that in the end, there were quite a few burn marks, "the Godly Hawk guard recalled.
"Oh? "So it's like this," Hearing this, Fan Mu seemed to be relieved of a great burden. The corner of his mouth curved into a mysterious smile, as if he had seen through everything.
"You mean?" The Godly Hawk Guard couldn't help but be startled, full of bewilderment as he asked.
"It's not that we don't want to report, the time is not right yet." After leaving behind an intriguing sentence, Fan Mu pushed open the door to the general's room, sat down, and waited for Lingyun to come back.
