Has the conscience of the winery been cleaned up today?

Chapter 52 52, Chunri Yanyan Expounding...

"At 12:07 on the morning of June 30, Renchu ​​[-]th, the regent who had just come to court before leaving the palace was found to have died strangely in the grass of the imperial garden, and the suspects were locked among the seven of you. Now, we As usual, the timeline and alibi are explained first."

Everyone sat down in the gazebo in the imperial garden and started the first process.

Tanuma is both the emperor and the detective, so of course he sits in the middle, while Sesshomaru and Inuyasha sit on the left and right sides of him.Gin and Akai Shuichi, Hakuba and Kaito each occupied a double seat, and Minamoto Yorimitsu sat opposite Tanuma, looking at the couples in front of him, he uttered a cry of "lonely, widowed, widowed, widowed".

"Good guy, just isolate me?" Yuan Laiguang wiped his face, "Your Majesty... no, father, can I apply for the first timeline?"

Tanuma looked at Detective Xiaoben and nodded with a smile: "No need to apply, you were the first to tell. But before talking about the timeline, please introduce yourself first."

"Okay." Minamoto Raimiko sat upright, cleared his throat, and said, "I am Prince Mina, and I am 25 years old. Although I am a prince, I have no interest in government affairs at all. Want to make money."

The corner of Tanuma's mouth twitched, he tapped the pen tip on the notebook, and lowered his voice to warn: "Your father, I am still here, so be careful when you speak."

Minamoto Raimitsu thumped his arm with a smile: "I'll speak well, father, can you give me money?"

Tanuma slapped his hand away: "...Tell me about your timeline."

Minamoto Larimitsu regained his composure in a second: "My timeline is very simple. I went back to the Eastern Palace after dinner with you at seven o'clock last night, and stayed until five o'clock this morning before going out for the morning court."

"What did you do during the night you stayed in the East Palace?" Baima asked with a smile.

Minamoto Larimitsu was taken aback by his question, and then smiled evilly: "Of course he is doing what a prince should do."

"For example?" The old driver Akai Hideichi took over the conversation.

"For example, in the bed with the princess..." Yuan Laiguang deliberately lengthened the ending, and in the subtle eyes of everyone, Shi Shiran spit out two words: "Count the money."

Kaito patted his chest, and exaggeratedly took a deep breath: "Oh, you're out of breath!"

"Well, it fits the character design very well." Tanuma nodded with a suppressed smile, "Go on."

Minamoto Laiguang nodded: "Isn't the morning court ending at seven o'clock? I chased the regent out as soon as I came, and I have something to tell him. But I was blocked by someone halfway, and I didn't catch up. When I came out again The man disappeared, and when I saw him again, he was already... lying in the grass."

"I counted money in the East Palace from 07:30 to [-]:[-] this morning, went to court from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], and saw the dead regent at [-]:[-]. This is your timeline?" Qin Jiu recounted his words, Make notes in a notebook.

"Yes, it's that simple." Minamoto Raimiko said.

"Okay, then the next general, General Akai." Tanuma looked at Shuichi Akai.

Unexpectedly, it would be his turn so soon. Akai Hideo paused, organized his words a little and said, "I am General Akai, His Majesty's General Zhenguo, and I am 32 this year. My timeline is not complicated. It was six o'clock yesterday evening. Ask Heize's guard to have a drink, and it's almost eleven o'clock after we finish drinking, so I'll leave him to rest at my house."

When he said this, he paused for a while, and the others also smiled enigmatically.

Inuyasha blinked innocently and asked, "Is he just... resting at your house?"

Sesshomaru, who was busy taking notes: "...cough."

Akai Hideo waved his hand and explained with a smile: "It's really just a rest. He lives in the guest room and I live in the master bedroom. It's very simple."

"Oh—" Kaito and Hakuba said in unison, "Understood, we understand."

Tanuma couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, don't keep thinking about drifting on this broken road, general, go ahead."

Akai Shuichi put away the smile on his face: "We slept together until... no, we rested until five o'clock. I went out to go to court, and he went to the palace to take up his duties. When he arrived at the palace gate, we separated. At seven o'clock, I want to make an appointment with the regent." The king went out of the palace to talk about something, but he was delayed for a while because he had something to do, and he disappeared after half an hour."

Qin Jiu opened his mouth at the right time to make a summary: "Last night, I drank from six o'clock to eleven o'clock, rested in the mansion until five o'clock, went to court before seven o'clock, and was delayed for half an hour by something after seven o'clock."

Akai Hideichi patted him on the shoulder: "That's right."

Qin Jiu squinted at him, and the place where the eyes met was full of fire and tension.

Minamoto Laiguang took a bunch of grapes from the table, and the two of them were sour after eating the first one: "I swear by the title of prince, if you two don't have a leg, I am not my father's own."

Kuai Dou laughed out loud: "It's not that big of a joke."

"You can have this." Akai Hideyoshi immediately put one arm around Gin's shoulder, and wanted to wrap the other around his waist.

Gin Jiu coldly pushed people away: "There is really no such thing."

Tanuma smiled and watched the interaction between the two of them, and he already thought about it: "Then the next one will be the guard of Kurosawa. I don't know if there is a difference between your timeline and the general's timeline."

"There is a difference..." Gin turned his pen, and Akai Shuichi, who came closer without pushing away, said, "I am the bodyguard of Kurosawa. I am 07 this year and have a good relationship with the general. The general invited me at six o'clock last night. Drinking, at the end of eleven o'clock, the general said that it was not safe to walk at night and asked me to stay in his house overnight, so I slept in the guest room. Around three o'clock in the morning, I got up once, feeling like I fell asleep after hearing the guards outside the door say that the general was not in the room. After that, I got up at five o’clock to go to work, and at 30:[-], I found the body of the regent with you.”

Tanuma raised his eyebrows: "General Akai, what did you do at three o'clock last night?"

Akai Hideichi smiled: "I went to do some... private matters, so I can't talk about it yet."

"Understood." Tanuma nodded, wrote down his timeline and clicked Kaito, "Prime Minister Kuroba, it's your turn."

"Okay." Kaito straightened his collar, and said in a straight voice: "I am Prime Minister Kuroba, 26 this year. My timeline is so simple that I even doubt my identity."

Sesshomaru looked up at him: "How simple."

Kaito raised his index finger: "It can be finished in one sentence. I stayed at home all day yesterday and didn't go out until five o'clock this morning."

Hearing this, Sesshomaru's eyes moved, and he pointed at him with a pen in his backhand: "You are the first person to appear on the scene."

"And how could you not go out yesterday? Don't you have to go to court?" Baima asked immediately.

"Yesterday was Xiumu, so there is no need to go to court." Kaito answered Hakuba's question first, and then looked at Sesshomaru, "The reason why I came to the Imperial Garden is that the Regent invited me to talk here. You need to tell me something important, but when I came over, he was already in a pool of blood."

"Then your timeline is really simple." Gin looked at the large blank area behind Kaito's name on the notebook, and even omitted the summary.

Several timelines flowed down, and Tanuma's thoughts began to get knotted, so he had to force himself not to explore the overlapping and concealed parts for the time being, and continued to ask: "Okay, I see. Inuyasha, tell me about your timeline."

"Oh." Inuyasha, who was scratching his head, sat up quickly, recalling the script he had memorized, and said with some stuttering: "I am... Jia Xuezi, 15 years old, and a follower of the regent. I have been with the regent yesterday. By my side, I drove him to the gate of the palace at five o'clock this morning, and I have been waiting for him outside since then."

"You followed him all day yesterday?" Akai Shuichi's eyes lit up, "Then did he act strange?"

Inuyasha thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, he is the same as usual, and he will practice calligraphy and drawing in the study every time he goes to sleep."

"What did he write? What did he draw?" Baima followed up with Shuichi Akai and asked.

"It's just... a copybook. It seems to be... "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface." Inuyasha scratched his head, "Then he drew a meticulous painting of peonies."

"Understood." Tanuma jotted down the useful information, "Sesshomaru, it's your turn."

When the previous person explained, Sesshomaru had already organized his language, and he said very smoothly and concisely when it was his turn: "I am Hao Xuezi, a follower of the regent. But I rarely have the opportunity to follow the regent. I didn’t see him, and today I only saw him once when he got up to help him dress and wash.”

Sesshomaru's timeline is different from everyone else's.

"That's it?" Kaidou looked puzzled.

Sesshomaru nodded.

Baima changed his pen and said meaningfully: "Although Hao Xuezi's timeline is simple, he is no less suspected than others, because he is the first person who clearly had physical contact with the deceased today."

"Yes." Yuan Laiguang also reacted, "Hao Xuezi is going to serve the regent to dress and wash, and any of his hands and feet in this process can kill the regent."

"What's more, you and Inuyasha are both students, why did you become the regent's entourage? And the treatment of the two of you is completely different." Tanuma raised another strange point.

Sesshomaru and Inuyasha looked at each other, and they both chose to remain silent tacitly.

The eyes of the other few people scanned them for a while, each of them knew what they knew, so they didn't ask any more questions, and decided on the space to find for a while.

"The last one, Prince Baima, Fifth Prince." Tanuma looked at Baima with a smile.

"Finally it's me." The white horse let out a long breath, and sat upright, "I am the fifth prince, His Majesty's fifth younger brother. Everyone in the court knows me, and everyone knows that I love money like my life. I have nothing to do with the regent." Intersection, he looks down on a dude like me, so he never interacts with me, and I don't bother to talk to him except when I urge him to pay back the money."

Gin nodded while memorizing.

Baima paused, and then said: "My timeline is a bit more complicated than yours. I went to the palace yesterday morning to accompany the empress dowager for lunch, and I didn't leave the palace until two o'clock in the afternoon. At five o'clock, I sent someone to the Prince Regent's Palace to urge He paid back the money, and was listening to a play in Liyuan while waiting for the servants to reply. He didn’t get the reply until seven o’clock, saying that he would pay it back today. After the play was over at nine o’clock, it was over. On the way back to my house, I saw the general drinking in the pub The guard, because he was in a good mood, talked to the two of them, and they chatted for 10 minutes before leaving."

"Is there such a thing?" Tanuma asked at the right time.

Gin and Akai Hideo nodded.

Seeing this, Baima continued to say: "I left at 09:30, returned to the mansion at [-]:[-], went to bed at [-]:[-], and slept until around [-]:[-] in the morning. I woke up once. It was this time that I saw A general from the Regent's Palace."

The residences of the Prince Regent and the Fifth Prince are on the same street, and the room where the Fifth Prince lives is on the fifth floor, overlooking almost the entire Kyoto, so you can see the situation on the side of the Prince Regent's residence.

"A little personal matter." Without waiting for others to ask, Akai Hideichi replied first.

"I don't know what private business you went to the Prince Regent's mansion, anyway, I saw a shadow coming out of there, with the face of a general." The white horse shrugged and completed the rest of the paragraph, "It's not here anymore It's seven o'clock, I don't have to go to court, but I promised the empress dowager to enter the palace to accompany him the day before, so I came early. However, before I entered the palace, I heard the news that the regent died."

"Your timeline is so complete, it actually involves other suspects." Kaito showed envious eyes, "Why didn't I draw this character? What an excuse."

"Integrity also means easy manipulation, not to mention how do you know that what he said is the truth?" Qin Jiu snorted softly, ready to wait for the first one to search the room of the Fifth Prince.

The white horse blinked innocently: "I'm not lying."

After Tanuma originally wrote down the timeline of the white horse, he got up with a notebook: "Okay, that's all for self-introduction and alibi. Our evidence search space is very large, and the search time is 10 minutes, so there is no need to group , let’s search together directly. Everyone goes to the room they are interested in, it’s best to spread out, don’t all squeeze into one room.”

"Understood!" Kaito made an "OK" gesture applaudingly.

Everyone agreed, and then walked to different spaces according to the road signs.
