Qin Siyi had no choice but to look at Luo Jinghua with hatred. If looks could kill, then this damn Luo Jinghua would have died tens of thousands of times could have ended so abruptly, who knew there would be such a twist?
Luo Jinghua's determination to investigate the truth and the oath he had sworn on the Luo family's reputation greatly reduced everyone's suspicion of him.
But if it wasn't Luo Jinghua, who else could it be? Everyone was at a loss for a moment.
The Saint and Qin Siyi exude two completely different auras.
If Qin Siyi is the aloof person who keeps strangers away, then the Saint is the person who you know looks like she doesn't want to interact with people, but you still can't help but want to get close to her.
The affinity between the two is very different.
The saint seemed to have a really good temper. She had just calmed down the war without anyone noticing. Everyone wanted to perform in front of her in order to qualify for the selection.
So with the Saint taking charge, the situation underwent significant changes.
Compared to the previous silence, everyone actually started to discuss quietly. After all, the Saint Lady also wanted to know who the murderer was. They had to help the Saint Lady solve her problems.
This is what everyone thinks.
Gu Fan was standing beside Ran Ran, and was bumped by someone and fell towards Ran Ran.
He quickly helped Ranran to stand steadily.
"Ouch, I almost fell down." He smiled embarrassedly, and suddenly exclaimed: "Brother Yanwen, you are so warm! I'm afraid you are the reincarnation of a stove." He patted Ranran's arm jokingly, and then grabbed it.
"We just stood outside for so long, and now I'm still cold all over."
Gu Fan was still not satisfied with what he said and even held on to Ran Ran's arm tightly, as if he wanted to draw more warmth from Ran Ran.
warm!
This word flashed into Luo Jinghua's mind like a bolt of lightning, instantly clearing up all the vague connections.
He looked at Ran Ran and immediately confirmed: "The Fire Soul Stone is with you."
Luo Jinghua's voice was not loud, but it was enough to attract the attention of everyone present, because the Fire Soul Stone was not unfamiliar to them.
Why are we talking about the Fire Soul Stone again? Wasn't this what we were arguing about yesterday? Is it related to Luo Jinghua's death? Everyone was puzzled.
Yun Qingxi clapped his hands and sighed, "Yes! I forgot about this. Now it makes sense."
"The Fire Soul Stone clearly belongs to Shen Yanwen, but Luo Pingyang was forced to take the blame for him yesterday."
Yun Qingxi tried to reconstruct what happened, pointing at Ranran and analyzing his thoughts bit by bit:
"It is very likely that this is what happened. Yesterday, when Brother Shen was packing up his things while changing his bedroom, Luo Pingyang saw the Fire Soul Stone on him. Luo Pingyang immediately understood the truth. It was the person living in the same bedroom who made him bear the reputation of an imposter. He must have been furious."
Yun Qingxi folded her hands together and said, "Just like that, during the argument between the two, whether it was a counterattack or intentional, Shen Yanwen killed Luo Pingyang just like that."
He became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he was getting carried away with analyzing the case.
"There is even another possibility. Shen Yanwen suspected that the fact that he possessed the Fire Soul Stone would be exposed. When the two brothers of the Luo family were arguing yesterday, I'm afraid they had murderous intentions."
"Moving out of this bedroom is also to clear myself of suspicion of murder. After all, during the routine interrogation after the incident, I'm afraid that the questions will soon be directed to the people in the same bedroom."
"And I'm afraid this man is a bold person who is crying thief. He brought the four of you here today in the hope that you would say something favorable to him and testify for him without knowing anything about him."
"After all, in the general perception, the witness who discovered the body cannot be the murderer."
Gu Fan was so frightened that he immediately let go of Shen Yanwen's arm, muttering to himself in confusion.
"Brother Yan Wen? Really..."
Unlike her previous quiet daze, the saint is now paying close attention to the development of the situation.
Seeing that the anger was about to burn Ran Ran, Qin Siyi directly refuted Yun Qingxi and said, "You speak so confidently, did you see it with your own eyes?" He actually changed his previous attitude and began to defend Ran Ran.
Everyone was surprised. It turned out that this Lord Yi... could also protect others...
Ran Ran's movement to raise her head stopped. She totally couldn't understand why Qin Siyi would speak for her.
But Yun Qingxi's words were well-reasoned, and Qin Siyi's rebuttal seemed very weak.
The current situation is very unfavorable to Ranran.
What was even worse was that another person jumped out and pointed at her. "I remember this person! When we were still on the Guanwu stage, I remember he said he didn't want to participate in the selection at all!"
Qin Siyi immediately cast a questioning look at Bai Er, but he didn't expect that Bai Er's answer made Ran Ran even more suspicious.
"It's true."
"And this boy is not only weird, he also hesitated in front of Liujing Lake."
Qin Siyi suddenly pinched his wrist with such force that blood was drawn instantly.
He didn't expect the situation to suddenly take such a turn. Why did he bring this person out now...
He looked at the saint in a trance.
No, I can't let His Highness see this face...
All these accusations combined were like mountains pressing down on Ranran, forcing him into a situation where he could not resist or struggle.
Without waiting for Ranran to react, Qin Siyi suddenly stood up. The smile on his face was very forced, and blood kept dripping from his pale fingertips.
"Your Highness, it seems that the murderer is this man. Let's go back to the back mountain."

No one could understand why his attitude towards Ranran changed so much. He was protecting her one second, and wanted to kill her the next.
But Qin Siyi just stretched out his hand towards the saint, looking anxious and eager.
The saint looked at his bloody left hand, said nothing, and held out her own hand.
Just when Qin Siyi was about to hold her hand, Ranran made a move.
In countless days to come, Qin Siyi regretted not taking the saint away directly at that time.
However, he knew very well that even if he could do it all over again, the result would still be the same, because he could never force His Highness to make a choice, which made his regret inevitable.
Ran Ran just raised her head, revealing the face that belonged to Shen Yanwen.
This made Qin Siyi's lips tremble and his hands and feet cold. He looked even more panicked than when the saint praised Luo Jinghua for his beautiful eyes.
Wrong! It shouldn't be like this...
This guy named Shen Yanwen was wrong. He shouldn't have raised his head, and he shouldn't have had such a face!
Luo Jinghua and Yun Qingxi were wrong. They shouldn't have said those words to draw His Highness's attention to Shen Yanwen.
He was wrong too... He was extremely wrong. He shouldn't be so arrogant as to think that he could control the entire situation and actually did something as stupid as asking His Highness to accompany him here to demonstrate!
...But his biggest mistake... was that he shouldn't have allowed Shen Yanwen's face to appear in front of His Highness until now!
No one knows what is going on in Qin Siyi's heart.
The saint on the high seat just glanced at Qin Siyi who seemed to be out of his mind, and then shifted her gaze to Ranran who raised her head.
She blinked.
Just like she saw the man she chose a few years ago.
The Saint uttered her third words here:
"is it you?"
Ranran stared into the saint's eyes and strangely felt that her feelings towards Shen Yanwen were different.
This difference is even different from her praise for Luo Jinghua and her long relationship with Qin Siyi.
Ranran was completely powerless to resist the look in the saint's eyes. It felt as if she was the only one contained in her clear eyes.
The quiet hall was filled with an atmosphere that belonged only to the two of them, emanating from the sunlight that illuminated the dust.
Ran Ran was silent for a long time, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and finally he looked into the Saint's eyes and replied, "It's not me."
The saint was stunned. She knew that Ranran meant to say that she was not the murderer, but this sounded different to her.
The saint did not comment, but just looked at everyone calmly.
"Now look at every clue based on the premise that he is not the murderer." (End of this chapter)
