Fan Mu smiled, as if he was very sure of his judgement. "Since that's the case, we shall first uncover the spy among us, the one who helped to commit the crime. Please come forward with the witness, the restaurant manager of the Long Teng Wine House, Li Wen."

Following the shift in everyone's gazes, a seemingly refined man walked up to them and said uneasily, "Lo, Lord, I, I am Li Wen."

"Oh? A stutter? " King Dongping laughed.

"Speak properly, please tell this lord everything you know," Fan Mu said harshly. From their previous conversation, Fan Mu had known that this fella was a weakling, so he was worried that he would spout nonsense in front of his lord. Thus, he could only change his tone to increase the burden on his heart.

Yes, I was in the restaurant business, in order to adapt to the hot weather, I would occasionally ask some ice jade elementalists I know to help me make some ice cubes. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, a masked man wanted to buy all the ice cubes in my shop, he said that someone in his house was seriously ill, and the ice cubes made by this jade elementalist could cure a hundred diseases. Afraid that he would be charged with any crime, Li Wen corrected some facts that were disadvantageous to him and pushed all the blame onto Si You.

"Is this the document? What's so strange about it?" King Dongping looked at the documents again, after confirming Li Wen's words, he asked.

"Strange, it's this Si You who has the emblem on his body. Did you see Li Wen's insignia?" Remember what was written on it? " He didn't expect this fellow to have forgotten the most important thing.

"Oh, I remember now. A badge with Sima engraved on it. A red mark on it." Li Wen was enlightened.

"What did you say!" King Dongping exaggeratedly asked, "The emblem of the Red Fire, the mark of Sima, this is clearly someone from the Sima family. Are you sure? How could a masked man reveal something that can prove his identity!"

"No, no, my lord, he did not intentionally reveal himself. At that time when I finished signing the form, I was so excited that I accidentally knocked over the teacup and poured it over him. I did not know how to speak, so I just wiped my hands and accidentally saw a jade plate inside the sleeve of my upper body." Li Wen hastily explained. "No, no, my lord, he did not intentionally reveal himself.

Fan Mu took over from Li Wen's words, "Then this is all very obvious. This man who lied about the ability of Shattered Ice Manor to cure all illnesses is from the Sima family. And we all know that he's the Discipline Hall's guard, Sikong."

King Dongping didn't appear particularly surprised, as if everything was taken for granted, and motioned for Fan Mu to continue analyzing the case.

Seeing that King Dongping did not object, Fan Mu said, "Sikong's original name is Sima Kong."

As the general of the imperial city, Sima Kong had quite a high opinion of them. Although his reputation was not good, his outstanding battle achievements were often praised by the people.

As an important accomplice in this case, not only did Sima Kong buy five buckets of crushed ice and a large amount of hemp rope, he also knocked out the Li brothers, the Western Lion King, and the Punishment Lord. Why is there a quiet fragrance in the testimonies of these witnesses?

"Then what evidence do you have?" King Dongping chuckled, it was obviously Fan Mu's guess, there wasn't even the slightest bit of evidence.

"No matter how much he transforms, his handwriting won't change at all. When he was rejected by many ice shops, he just happened to bump into a buyer who was willing to sell. With such an excited mood, it's impossible for him to think of modifying his handwriting.

"Oh, even so, he's just an accomplice, as you say. Who is the real criminal?" King Dongping deliberately lowered his voice, using WuShang's voice to stimulate Fan Mu's emotions.

Fan Mu smiled, as if he already had a plan in mind. He gave an unexpected answer, "There are no criminals in this case."

"Hehe, don't make fun of us. Didn't we just uncover the accomplices, why is it that there aren't even any criminals left?"

"Because the dead person in this case committed suicide and attempted to blame the Western Lion King. Naturally, there are no so-called criminals, and if there are, then it is the dead person himself." Fan Mu gave a faint smile, turning around and speaking in front of all the commoners who were present to hear the case.

"Haha, little brat, you really know how to joke. You shouldn't have forgotten that the deceased was attacked by a Seven Star Treasure Sword from behind and died with a single slash. Show me how you can stab yourself from behind." King Dongping sneered, he clearly felt that Fan Mu's words were a fantasy story.

"Master, there's no need to worry. Let's try this method and slowly solve it."

A demonic smile appeared on Fan Mu's lips. He took out something that looked like hemp rope from his chest, waved his hand, and said, "This is the key to unlocking this technique."

"A hemp rope?" King Dongping gave a faint smile.

"That's right, the key to this technique is how to accurately stab yourself in the back, it's like a piece of cake for a high-level jade cultivator. The bad thing is that the dead person is an ordinary person who doesn't use any elemental energy at all, that would be a headache," said Fan Mu as he grabbed the sword from one of the nearby guards and twined it with a hemp rope.

Next, Fan Mu indicated that they needed to use a teacup, and took advantage of the servants' preparation to analyze the situation, "But if the sword is fixed, the situation will be very different. Please take a look."

As he spoke, Fan Mu shoved the sword with the twine rope into a teacup and placed the cup firmly on the ground.

"This is ?" King Dongping looked at it in surprise.

"That's right, my lord, please look, the dead used this method. First, the sword is wrapped in hemp rope, and when the thickness is moderate, the sword will be stuffed into a teacup, and after fixing it, it will be placed on the ground safely, and everything will be ready. Then, as long as you stand at a higher place with your back facing the sword, and fall down, you can create the illusion of a treasure sword being stabbed from behind." Fan Mu answered.

"Oh? Brilliant, brilliant, "King Dongping clapped his hands, then asked," But all of this is just your deduction. What evidence do you have to prove the culprit, no, it should be Long Fei's death. Did she really commit suicide? but rather than the false image of himself being assassinated by General Mu? "
