Chapter 112 Case closed

When everyone heard this, they all knew that Ye Shisan’s next words were the key. Even Zhu Yin, who was the most likely to cause trouble, did not interrupt and just listened quietly.

"There is another point. Xue Ji and Yue Ji of Wanxiang Tower are like sisters, which is why Yue Ji often went in and out of the Ridoujin Casino a few days ago. Yue Ji did this to help Xue Ji win over Susano. I learned about this from Yue Ji's maid Xiao Cui." After a pause, Ye Shisan continued, "But although Susano was attracted by Yue Ji's beauty, he might not dare to go against Yaqi, who was much more powerful than him. Therefore, Yue Ji's action also had another purpose, which was to make Yaqi, who had always been attracted by her beauty, jealous, and thus killed so many people in Susano's family. Maybe Yaqi wanted to kill Susano as well, but Susano happened to be captured and brought to the imperial palace that day, so he escaped. In this way, there is an irreconcilable hatred between the two. As long as they tell Susano the truth, there is no need to worry that Susano will not help deal with Yaqi."

Hearing this, everyone present was a little surprised. If what Ye Shisan said was true, then regardless of whether Xue Ji really had her own difficulties, her scheming was too terrible. Only Xue Jia felt sad for her daughter's experience, and hated herself for being stupid and not knowing the truth until now. He still remembered how well Xue Ji had behaved before, but now she has become so scheming. How much suffering did she have to endure in the process? He didn't know, and he didn't dare to think about it.

Black Emperor was now very impressed with Ye Shisan's reasoning ability, and immediately asked: "But I still have two doubts. First, why did Xue Ji frame you? Second, since they wanted to ask Susano for help, but as you said just now, if it wasn't for coincidence, Susano would have died in Yaki's hands long ago, how could they help her?"

Ye Shisan answered readily, "This is not difficult to explain. She naturally thought of the possibility of Susano being killed. But I think it's more than that. She should have even taken into account the possibility of Susano being killed by me in the duel. As for her framing me, haha, I initially thought that she was resentful because of my cold attitude towards her. But now I think she has other intentions."

At this time, the Sea God Yu Qiang, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "What's the intention?" His temper was much better than Zhu Yin's, so he had been listening patiently, just as if he was listening to a story. But at this moment, he was already attracted by Ye Shisan's "story", so he couldn't help asking.

Ye Shisan glanced at Yu Qiang. He was somewhat curious about this rather deep master. Then he answered, "If Susano was killed, she would naturally look for other allies. But it just happened that I was unlucky and went to look for Susano at that time, so she had this idea. Her original intention was not to frame me, but she dragged me into this case just in case."

"What if?" This time it was Zhu Yin again. He was now attracted by Ye Shisan's analysis and for a moment he even forgot to oppose Ye Shisan.

However, Ye Shisan did not answer him immediately. He changed the subject and said, "As for what happened last night, I think they managed to escape after dealing with Yaqi. What if, if Susano was killed by me, or if they failed to deal with Yaqi and she managed to survive, the responsibility of dealing with Yaqi would probably fall on my shoulders."

Seeing these immortal, god, and even god king masters listening attentively, Ye Shisan felt a sense of accomplishment. He had never seen such a precedent before, to have so many masters listen to a person who had not yet reached the Nascent Soul stage talking nonstop. However, this sense of accomplishment did not slow down his speaking speed: "The scent on the flying knife and Mr. Xue's sachet are probably clues she left intentionally. If she cannot complete her plan to deal with Yaqi by her own means, Yaqi will also face sanctions from the laws of the Sanmiao Kingdom. As for me, I have been listed as a suspect, so I must find out the truth and clear my name."

The Black Emperor smiled, but no one knew why. After smiling, the Black Emperor said, "Now that the truth has been revealed and she is the mastermind, isn't that sending herself to prison?"

Ye Shisan did not answer but asked: "Then what is her crime?" When Ye Shisan asked this, everyone started to think about it. Although Xue Ji was insidious, it was really difficult to determine the crime if one really wanted to talk about it.

Seeing that none of them answered, Ye Shisan continued, "No! In truth, she did not commit any crime directly. The evidence I analyzed cannot accuse her of any crime. The fact is indeed so. Even Yue Ji only often went to the Sun Dojin Casino and had more contact with Susano. They can't even be considered as instigating others to commit crimes, because Yaqi killed people out of jealousy. As for her reporting the case to frame me, the letter only said that a bloody case had occurred. Reporting the case is not a crime, right? She just cleverly took advantage of Yaqi's personality, so I can't charge her with any crime."

"So." Ye Shisan's words stunned everyone, but he did not intend to give up. He continued, "There are two main reasons why I concluded that their action was successful. First, if the plan failed and they were all killed, there would be no reason for Yaqi to disappear with them. Second, if their action failed and they survived, in order to avoid Yaqi's revenge, they would definitely find a way to provide me with more clues as soon as possible. In that case, Yaqi would have to face the rule of the Sanmiao Kingdom!"

Seeing that no one had spoken, Ye Shisan smiled and said, "I have finished my statement. Does anyone have any questions?"

After hearing this, everyone present shook their heads, indicating that they had no more doubts. However, Ye Shisan still guessed a little wrong. Xue Ji was not completely inhumane. At least she still had a father-daughter relationship with Xue Jia. Although the sachet she found was to provide clues to Ye Shisan, she knew that she would leave after dealing with Yaqi, so she wanted to leave a souvenir for her father and show her last filial piety. Otherwise, she could have put some medicine in the sachet that would make Xue Jia feel uncomfortable but not serious. In that case, she would still not be charged with any crime, but it would make it easier for Ye Shisan and Ling Fei to notice the sachet.

Although Ye Shisan didn't think of this, Xue Jia did. This doesn't mean he is smarter than Ye Shisan, but he is analyzing from a father's perspective, so he naturally pays more attention to these things.

"Snap! Snap! Snap!" After everyone was silent for a while, Black Emperor clapped his hands three times and said, "Ye Shisan is worthy of being the number one crime-solving expert in Shennong Country. His reasoning is really brilliant!" Then he fell silent, but only so that others could not hear him.

Although Ye Shisan couldn't see the Black Emperor's mouth move, he clearly heard what the Black Emperor said to him: "I have now set up a barrier, and no third person will hear what you and I say. I also want to ask a question, do you think that with their abilities, they can easily escape from my Youdu City?"

Seeing the strange behavior of the Black Emperor, Ye Shisan felt something was wrong, but he still calmly asked, "Your Majesty the Black Emperor knows the answer very well, so why ask me?"
