C97 (1/2)

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.
