Xiao Chengyi chuckled: "The murder case on Zhuque Street, someone witnessed the banshee, she is very good at light kung fu.
You were the mastermind behind this poaching case, but you didn't kill the person. Who do you want to protect? Your personal bodyguard?
You felt that your time was running out and you didn’t want to injure others, so you decided to take the responsibility yourself. Before you surrendered and confessed your crime, you had already sent your bodyguard away. Am I right?"
Qin Junyan frowned slightly and said, "I am the one who killed the person, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."
Xiao Chengyi curled his lips and said: "It doesn't matter, your bodyguard has already been sent to arrest you."
Qin Junyan looked very ugly, looked at Xiao Chengyi and asked: "I'm very curious, how did you find me, Your Majesty?"
He thought he hid it well, but it was still exposed. It was clear that none of the clues he left for Xiao Chengyi pointed to him.
Xiao Chengyi said: "Actually, I guessed it."
He swept his sleeves and said in a calm voice: "That day, your father and sister came to the Shen Mansion to visit, not to apologize, but to gain favor in front of this king.
You all thought that the marriage between the king and the Princess Protector might have to be abandoned, so you made the idea of becoming the regent princess.
In order to put an end to your thoughts, people around me have revealed that I already have a princess.
After some inquiring, you discovered that this king’s princess is actually pretty and white-haired.
So, you came up with a plan to use the princess's gray hair to create rumors that monsters were poaching her heart. You paved a lot of paths for this.
First, on the day when the prince returned to the palace, he bribed children to make the king's concubine show her white hair, and then he wrote "Ghost and Fox Chronicles" and let it spread in the capital.
In order to make me relax my vigilance, you also found an innocent blacksmith and framed him as the murderer. You wanted to frame us for harboring the monster and find an innocent person to take the blame.
I have to say that every move you made was very precise. At first, I did not doubt your Qin family.
But every move you make has the shadow of your Qin family, which makes people suspicious."
Qin Junyan was very puzzled: "How do you say this?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "The first time I met you was on Chang'an Street, where the first murder occurred. You borrowed a pair of pearl earrings and appeared in front of me.
In fact, you didn’t buy any gifts for your sister at that time, you just wanted to see your masterpiece and test me to see if I would doubt you, right?"
Qin Junyan was stunned for a moment. Yes, he showed up on Chang'an Street that day just to see his masterpiece.
It happened that he discovered that Xiao Chengyi was also here, and he had heard about the deeds of the regent, so he wanted to go and meet him.
So on the pretext of buying something, I took the pair of pearl earrings that he liked and got to know him.
Xiao Chengyi really didn't pay attention to him at that time and just regarded him as a passerby.
I really had doubts when I was at Sihai Bookstore.
Xiao Chengyi continued: "I followed the clue of Ghost Fox Chronicles to find Sihai Bookstore, and happened to see your sister outside the bookstore.
And your sister was wearing the same pair of pearl earrings you gave her."
Qin Junyan asked him: "What can this prove?"
Xiao Chengyi shrugged and said: "Except for your identity, nothing else can be proven, but what you don't know is that I asked people to investigate the blacksmith who was regarded as a suspect by Dali Temple.
It was discovered that his wife, who died of illness three years ago, was once a servant of your Qin Mansion."
