Chapter 164 I can’t tell the difference, I really can’t tell the difference!
"What nonsense are you talking about! How could I be the murderer? I'm not a vampire, how could I have sucked all his blood?" Ji Bo glared at Li Cheng.

"That's not necessarily true." Li Cheng showed a gentle and sunny smile and pointed at the body on the ground: "Look, this deceased was stabbed in the back and is lying on the ground. What does this mean?"

"What does it mean?"

"It means this was a crime committed by an acquaintance."

"Just because someone was stabbed in the back, does that mean the perpetrator was an acquaintance?" Ji Bo sneered.

"Of course there is no way to explain a stab wound in the back, but the deceased fell with his back to the door." Li Cheng shook his head: "The actual situation should be like this. After hearing the knock on the door, the deceased opened the door and saw the murderer."

"The deceased didn't think the murderer would kill him, so he turned around and showed his back to him."

"And the murderer took advantage of this time to kill him with one strike, stabbing him in the back."

"And the only person who can meet this condition is an acquaintance. And not just an ordinary acquaintance, but someone you trust very much."

At this point, Li Cheng paused and looked at Master Tata: "I would like to ask, Miss Latanya, are you familiar with the deceased?"

"No, of course not, I don't know him at all!" Tata said quickly.

"If that's the case, then she has no chance to do anything."

After listening to Li Cheng's analysis, everyone present fell into deep thought.

Several guards from Full Moon Academy also looked at Li Cheng thoughtfully.

"Well, this explanation is as flawless as my ice suicide method."

The guard said.

I can go fuck myself!

Several other colleagues looked resentful.

This set of excuses is much more reasonable than the ice suicide method!

Vivian looked at Li Cheng and smiled imperceptibly.

I never expected that this complicated and clueless case could be mostly solved with just a little effort from Brother Li Cheng.

Sure enough, wherever Brother Li Cheng is, all difficulties can be easily solved.

Ji Bo's expression also turned bad, but he still said:

"What does this prove? Maybe Latanya has a close relationship with my brother behind the scenes, but we just don't know it!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Hearing this, Latanya became anxious. She could tolerate anything else, but she couldn't tolerate such words.

Doesn't this mean that she was having an affair with the deceased?

"As for the relationship between Latanya and the deceased, we can find out by investigating the deceased's relatives, friends and classmates." Li Cheng shook his head: "But what I want to say is that among the people present, there is one person who has a close relationship with the deceased."

"They are both from the same mother."

"But they are real brothers."

"Aren't you right, Brother Ji Bo?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present turned their eyes to Ji Bo, and Ji Bo's face became increasingly gloomy.

That’s right, according to Li Cheng’s analysis, I am indeed a big suspect.

But the problem is that he did not kill his brother.

He didn't do anything, how could he take the blame for this?
"Haha, this is ridiculous. Why would I kill my own brother?"

"Isn't this normal?" Li Cheng said lightly, "If you want to inherit the throne in the future, every brother and sister around you will be your enemy, right?"

"How dare you!" Before Ji Bo could say anything, the two old men couldn't stand it anymore and shouted coldly: "The majesty of the Heavenly Mandate Royal Court cannot be violated!"

"I spoke out of turn." Li Cheng apologized, but there was no trace of remorse in his tone.

The onlookers present were all looking at Ji Bo with burning eyes, whispering to each other, wondering if he really wanted to kill because of the issue of succession to the throne.

"How filthy and dirty! He killed his brother himself and then framed him."

"That's right. Has the royal family fallen to this state?"

"Maybe it's not that the royal family is corrupt, but that this person is just dirty."

These voices were like heavy hammers, hitting Ji Bo's heart violently, and his face became more and more ugly.

If public opinion continues to develop in this way, he will really be confirmed as the murderer of his brother.

This is a serious crime of treason.

"Nonsense! I, I, even if I did something to my brother, I don't have the means to do it! All the blood in my brother's body has been sucked dry. This is obviously done by the vampires. Do you mean that I have become a vampire?"

Ji Bo defended himself through gritted teeth.

And the onlookers all turned their eyes back to Miss Latanya.

For a moment, the situation was frozen.

"If that's the case." One of the old monsters coughed and said, "Then let's escort Ji Bo back as well."

“Uncle, I didn’t…” Ji Bo’s face tightened.

"Okay, stop talking for now." The old monster looked at Li Cheng and said, "Latanya and Ji Bo are both suspects, so bring them both back to the royal court and interrogate them together."

"We in the Heaven's Mandate Court will not arrest any bad guy by mistake, nor will we wrongly accuse any good guy."

As he said this, he looked at Ji Bo and gave him a wink.

Ji Bo immediately understood what he meant and a calm smile appeared on his face again.

As long as Latanya can be taken away, who cares about the so-called truth?
However, Li Cheng showed a gentle smile and continued to look at Ji Bo: "You two, I don't think this matter needs to be so troublesome."

"What do you mean?" The two old monsters narrowed their eyes.

"Because I haven't finished my reasoning yet." Li Cheng continued, "Due to the previous cases, the guards from the academy arrived very quickly, which was beyond the murderer's expectations."

"So, the murderer was blocked here by the guards who arrived before he could leave the crime scene."

"In order to cover up his murder and to set the tone, the murderer turned around and pretended to be a law enforcement officer who had just arrived at the crime scene, examining the deceased."

"Am I right, Brother Ji Bo?"

"How should I know? I'm not the murderer!" Ji Bo's face became even gloomier.

"Really? But as a special envoy of the Heavenly Mandate Royal Court, your accommodation is 5 kilometers away from the school building. How did you get here before the guards of the academy arrived at the scene?"

Li Cheng narrowed his eyes: "Could it be that you foresaw in your dream that your brother would be killed?"

As soon as the words fell, the magic guards' faces were suddenly startled.

Yes, when they arrived at the scene, these special envoys from the Court of Destiny had indeed arrived.

Not only did they arrive, they also put out the fire.

At first, the guards of Full Moon Academy did not think about this aspect too much.

But now that Li Cheng said this, they realized the strangeness of the matter.

We just realized it, how come you are already here?

At the same time, they looked at Li Cheng with even more disbelief.

How come this young man's insight is so sharp?
"With such insight, Li Cheng is only slightly worse than me in solving cases."

The guard who came up with the ice method of killing people spoke again.

This time, his colleagues simply covered his mouth to prevent him from continuing to embarrass himself.

"I..." Ji Bo was speechless and didn't know how to explain.

Did he have to tell everyone present that before he came to Full Moon Academy, he was instructed to cooperate with the murderer in the academy to complete the murder and take Latania away?
Does he have to tell everyone that he already knew that his royal brother would die?
In an instant, public opinion reversed, and everyone stared at Ji Bo, wanting to see the answer from his face.

Ji Bo also cooperated very well, his lips trembling, sweating profusely, and constantly wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"What's there to explain?" An old monster said, "I asked Ji Bo to patrol the academy under the moonlight and check the terrain, so that the murderer would not be lost when we catch him and escape."

"That's it, I just happened to be on patrol and heard the screams!" Ji Bo quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is my arrangement not excessive, Dean?" The old monster also looked at the Full Moon Queen.

Vivian just snorted coldly and said nothing.

"Li Cheng, I admit that your reasoning makes some sense." Another old monster spoke up: "But this does not mean that Ji Bo is the murderer of this case."

"After all, everything you said is just speculation, without any real evidence."

"You still haven't explained why the blood of the deceased was drained."

"As long as this remains unanswered, Latanya's suspicion will remain."

"As expected of an old fellow who has lived for hundreds of years, his thinking is quite clear." Li Cheng applauded him and then said jokingly: "But my previous reasoning was not intended to prove that Ji Bo is the murderer."

"I just want to say that because the academy guards arrived so quickly, he didn't have time to deal with the murder weapon."

"So the relic that sucked his brother's blood should be hidden on him right now!"

His voice was loud and clear, and the whispers in the audience also stopped at this moment.

Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Ji Bo.

But this time, there was no longer panic on his face, but an inexplicable smile.

A few seconds later, he held his belly and started laughing wildly:
"Haha, haha, hahaha, I can't take it anymore, I'm almost dying of laughter."

"Li Cheng, Li Cheng, I thought you had some other tricks, but I didn't expect it to be just this good."

In Ji Bo's opinion, if Li Cheng insisted on the time of his appearance, he would be labeled a suspect no matter what.

Although there is no way to change the final outcome of the matter, it can still cause him a lot of trouble.

But now he actually said that he had a murder weapon hidden on him...

Isn't this equivalent to putting the answer to this question in front of everyone?

As long as I don't have a weapon on me, it means that this matter has nothing to do with me!
You went through a long process of argument, but in the end, you were actually trying to clear me of suspicion.

Ridiculous, really ridiculous!
Don’t I know whether I killed anyone or not?

Thinking of this, Ji Bo looked at Li Cheng and wiped away the tears that flowed from his excessive smile:

"Okay, since you want to check, I'll check it for you."

"Look for yourself, there is no blood-sucking relic on me!"

"Also check this storage ring as much as possible!" He took off his ring and fumbled in his pockets: "By the way, do you want to check my guards too? Then check them one by one. Who should I start with?"

The two old monsters also looked at Li Cheng and smiled with relief.

Although this little guy is smart, he is still inexperienced.

This murder was not committed by their investigation team at all, so how could there be a murder weapon?

Latanya's matter was finally settled.

Thinking of this, they said:
"Yes, that's right. Ji Bo, cooperate with Mr. Li Cheng and let him investigate to his heart's content."

"Yeah, take out all your pockets and let him see if you have any weapons!"

They all had smiles of victory on their faces, but after a few seconds, there was no response from Ji Bo.

The two of them turned their heads together and looked at him in confusion, but they only saw a pale face full of disbelief.

"No, it's impossible."

Ji Bo put his hands in his trouser pockets, his lips trembled, his whole body was convulsing, his breathing was rapid, and even his ears seemed to be filled with strange and inexplicable whispers.

Because he really touched a relic, a relic that could suck the blood out of a corpse and make it look like a vampire had committed a crime.

The Cry of the Blood Rose——

This is the secret treasure of the royal court. Not only can it absorb blood from corpses, but it can also use that blood to transform into various weapons and puppets.

The higher the quality of the blood inside, the more powerful the weapons and puppets that are transformed will be.

Ji Bo had seen this relic in the royal court's treasury.

But with his strength and rank, he cannot obtain such a reward.

At this moment, he only felt his hands and feet were cold, and an emotion called despair and disbelief was surging in his mind.

How can this be?

How did this thing get into my arms?
Who put it there? Who put this thing in my arms silently?
How did he do it?
What the hell is going on?
How could he know that this was all due to Li Cheng's questioning.

Master Dianhuo has lost a lot of his life because of this~
And Vivian also spoke up at the right time: "Haha, why is our little friend Ji Bo silent?"

"Is it possible that you really have the weapon that killed your brother in your arms?"

"No, no, how could I..."

Ji Bo wanted to argue, but Vivian just waved her hand gently.

Then he felt that his body was being controlled, and the hand holding the blood rose was slowly taken out of his trouser pocket.

Blood-red roses bloomed in the room, their petals full of blood, bright scarlet.

"Hehe, Blood Rose's Cry? I remember this was a relic that Typhon's mother researched for the Court of Heaven's Fate." Vivian laughed jokingly, "It's a relic that can accumulate the blood of everyone. Even if there's only one person left on the battlefield, it can still maintain the army's combat effectiveness."

"I didn't expect that today, you would use it to kill your own people."

"It's ridiculous, Ji Bo, it's really ridiculous."

At this moment, both Ji Bo and the two old monsters looked extremely funny.

Ji Bo's face was filled with despair.

The faces of the two old monsters were filled with humiliation and anger.

Everyone knows what it means when this relic is taken out.

Ji Bo's guilt was confirmed.

"No, this is not true. Someone framed me. Someone put the blame on me. Someone deliberately put this thing in my arms!" Ji Bo fell to his knees with a thud. "Ms. Queen Man Yue, you are very observant. You must make the decision for me!"

"To make the decision for you? Don't be ridiculous!"

Li Cheng snorted coldly: "Ji Bo, your two uncles are still here. They are strong men close to level 10. Among the people present, who can hide it from their eyes and put something in your pocket?"

"Are you doubting my dean?"

"Are you suspecting that my dean is using such despicable means to protect his students?"

"In your eyes, is my dean such a despicable and shameless person?!"

"Ji Bo, you are really brave!"

He didn't even give Ji Bo a chance to refute, and fired a barrage of criticism at him, each sentence of which was an attempt to morally blackmail him.

As expected, Ji Bo was extremely terrified. He kept kowtowing and speaking incoherently: "No, no, it's not like that. I didn't mean that. I, I was wrong. I was really wrong. I didn't do this. I didn't do it..."

"I didn't murder my brother!"

"The evidence is irrefutable, and you still want to deny it?" Li Cheng snorted again, "I think you killed the other five people as well."

"Impossible, I just arrived at the academy, my guards can prove it, I have an alibi!" Ji Bo roared: "It's not me, it's definitely not me!"

"This is very simple. I think it was the members of the Royal Court who helped you build the teleportation array in the academy. And the people you killed were the ones who built the array."

"You are a liar, you are a liar, don't be fooled by him!" Ji Bo looked at everyone, his eyes wide open and full of bloodshot.

But none of the onlookers believed him and just laughed jokingly.

"The evidence is..." Li Cheng ignored him and continued to speak calmly: "The blood of the five deceased should be found in this blood rose."

"Oh?"

Vivian raised her eyebrows and formed a spell with her hands.

The tears of the blood rose immediately burst into a scarlet light, and six bloody figures were projected from it and stood up in the room.

Their eyes were dull, without a trace of emotion in their pupils, but they spontaneously knelt down towards Ji Bo and shouted "Master".

Except for Ji Bo's brother who just died in the room, the remaining five are the five deceased nobles of destiny.

At this moment, the truth is revealed!

"Impossible! I just arrived at the academy. My guards can prove that I don't have time to kill them! I am dreaming. Yes, I must be dreaming."

Ji Bo collapsed to the ground powerlessly, muttering to himself, with no color in his eyes.

He couldn't figure out how the Blood Rose's tears ended up in his pocket.

What he couldn't understand even more was why the blood shadow in the blood rose's tears called him master.

Aren't people who use blood roses to collect blood the only ones to be called masters?

But he had no memory of killing these people!
He had just arrived at Full Moon Academy!
Just at this moment, a series of fragmentary memories came into my mind.

In his memory, he saw himself standing in front of a mirror, wearing a cloak on his head, and giving instructions to himself in the mirror: "Go kill those royal family members and bring Latania back."

Then he took off his cloak, knelt on one knee, and said devoutly: "Yes, sir, I will do it."

He seemed to be playing two roles, giving orders to himself and receiving his own orders at the same time.

During the day he traveled with the guards in the carriage, but at night he used teleportation magic to come to Full Moon Academy alone to commit crimes.

The guards were his alibi. He hunted for the blood of his own people and wanted to put the blame on Latania.

The memories were so clear, as if he had really done them.

But at the same time, there was another memory in his mind.

The Crown Prince gave him an order to come to the academy to cooperate with the killer and take Latania away.

This memory is also extremely clear!

At this moment, Ji Bo held his head, his eyes bloodshot, and sighed to the sky:
"I can't tell the difference, I really can't tell the difference!"
