"As for me, I was going to find Teacher Manyue to hand in my previous homework this morning. When I got here, I heard the screaming and rushed over, but I didn't expect to be entangled by Ji Bo." Rania breathed a sigh of relief.

This is thanks to Ji Bo, otherwise...

It was a bit troublesome just now.

Li Cheng had already imagined what Anna would look like when she went crazy.

"Wait." He suddenly thought of a question: "Are you saying that Ji Bo appeared at the door just after the scream?"

"Yeah." Lasania thought for a moment and said, "Yes, when I arrived, they had already surrounded this place."

"Ah."

Li Cheng narrowed his eyes. The rest area of ​​the Tianming Royal Court was not in the school building.

As a result, as soon as the murder happened, he arrived even faster than the school's magic guards.

It can't be that Ji Bo has the ability to predict the future, right?

It seems that the story behind this crazy fire murder case is more complicated than he imagined.

"Come on, Master Tata, let's go take a look too."

Li Cheng took Miss Latania to the crime scene.

Chapter 163 Li Cheng is very angry, the consequences are serious

The crime scene was already crowded with law enforcement officers from the Court of Heaven's Mandate and magic guards from the Full Moon Academy.

Almost all the debris in the room was burned to charcoal, and the thick smoke that had not yet dissipated drifted out of the window.

A charred corpse was lying on the ground, with a dagger with a burnt handle stuck in his back.

A magic guard from the magic academy was squatting next to the corpse, analyzing calmly:

"There's no doubt about it. The doors and windows were tightly closed, and the only key to the room was still on the deceased's person. It's obvious that the deceased committed suicide."

"No buddy, are you serious?"

Another magic guard twitched his lips and said, "The deceased was stabbed in the back. Can a stab in the back be suicide?"

"Oh, that's very simple." The magic guard continued to analyze calmly: "It was ice. He used ice! He used ice to fix the dagger to the ground, with the blade facing upwards. Then he jumped off the chair, landed on his back, and hit the dagger himself."

"Finally, turn over and lie on the ground."

"Where did the ice go?" another guard wondered.

"Stupid, of course it was burned by the fire!"

"Well, why set the fire?"

"It's to melt the ice!"

"Uh..." After hearing this outrageous statement, the magic guard couldn't find any reason to refute it.

This logic is actually a closed loop...

He thought for a moment and asked again, "Brother, I haven't heard of you being a detective in the Law Enforcement Department. Who did you learn this investigative skill from?"

"I once got a novel called The Detective Nan Ke in my early years. It records in detail various murder methods, such as the mask murder method, the chess murder method, and the roller coaster murder method. This ice murder method is just the simplest of them!"

The magic guard raised his chest confidently:

"I think we can close these cases. They must be suicides."

Li Cheng was listening at the side, his mouth twitching.

But he actually knew very well that perhaps the magic guard's thinking was really against the will of heaven to the extreme.

However, classifying this incident as suicide was definitely the intention of Man Yue Academy.

6 cases, 6 victims, all of them were nobles of the Heaven's Mandate Court.

The first five cases have been classified as suicides, and this last one will certainly be no exception.

After all, a serial murder case would bring shame to both Full Moon Academy and the Destiny Royal Court.

Closing the case as suicide delays time and maintains face for both parties.

And find the real murderer in a limited time and give an explanation to the Destiny Royal Court. This is the answer that the top leaders of Full Moon Academy came up with.

But obviously, they couldn't find the murderer.

And the Royal Court of Heaven's Mandate could wait no longer.

"I say to everyone at Full Moon Academy, even if you want to fool us, you don't have to come up with such an outrageous reason, right?"

Ji Bo walked into the room surrounded by guards and scoffed at the conclusion of the magic guard.

He pushed aside several magic guards who were blocking his way and squatted beside the dead man.

Then he waved his magic and a rune was hit onto the corpse.

"Rest in peace, my brother."

That’s right, the person who died in the room was Ji Bo’s brother, another grandson of the Tianming Royal Court.

Ji Bo lay on top of him, put his fingers on his tongue to pick up two smears of saliva, smeared them on the corners of his eyes, and cried exaggeratedly: "You died so miserably, you died so miserably! It's all my fault, I shouldn't have let you come to the academy alone!"

"How sad it would be for your mother if you died here!"

While crying, Ji Bo suddenly froze, looked at the runes he had cast, and exclaimed: "No, something is wrong, why is there no blood on my brother's body!"

"This..." The magic guard said, "Your Excellency, this is a fire scene after all. It is normal for a burnt body to have no blood."

"No, that's not the case." Ji Bo clenched his fists, looking angry: "Even if it's a fire, it's impossible to burn all the blood in a person's body."

"Besides, this rune shows that the blood on my brother's body disappeared before it was burned by the fire!"

"What! This means this isn't suicide?!" the magic guard was shocked.

This is certainly not suicide, and you are the only one who thinks this is suicide... The other guards looked at their colleagues speechlessly and continued to ask, "Does that mean the murderer targeted the blood of the royal family of Tianming, so he killed them?"

"It should be so." Ji Bo's eyes were red.

"But what's the use of this blood? Even in alchemy, there is no material that requires royal blood."

"Yeah, blood is useless to magicians."

The guards hurriedly analyzed the situation.

"It's true that magicians have no use for this thing, but there is a creature that is very thirsty for blood." Ji Bo clenched his fists, slowly raised his head, and looked at Latanya: "Am I right, cousin Latanya?"

Latanya's little face turned pale in an instant.

Li Cheng stood in front of him without saying a word.

"Latanya, being able to suck the blood of an adult male so cleanly in such a short time, only vampires above level 4 can do it, right?"

Ji Bo asked.

"No, that's right."

Tata gritted his teeth.

"And now that the Red Moon Empire has fallen, you are the only vampire still alive on the entire continent, right?"

"right……"

"The last time we met, I remember you were only at level 4, right?" Ji Bo pretended to be in a state of suppressed grief. "Then why are you already at level 5 now?"

"I remember that the advancement of the vampire clan requires the blood of higher life forms!"

"No, that's not..."

Latanya covered her mouth and shook her head, her eyes trembling.

She advanced to the 5th level not because of sucking blood, but because Li Cheng sacrificed a large number of mythical disaster wolves to the Scarlet True Ancestor.

But she would not tell anyone about this. She didn't want anyone to know that Li Cheng had also signed the vampire contract.

This will make it difficult for Li Cheng to move forward in the Tianming Continent.

The grief on Ji Bo's face gradually turned into anger: "Now that things have come to this, what else is there to say?!"

"This case is very clear, Latania! You took advantage of the trust of the Court of Heavenly Destiny in you, approached them, sucked their blood, and strengthened your own strength."

"You are the biggest suspect in these six serial murders!"

"Someone, capture her for me! Take her back for interrogation!"

As they spoke, the guards surrounding Ji Bo rushed towards Latania.

Li Cheng narrowed his eyes, and pulled out the Champion's Blade, which turned into a giant sword: "Let's see who dares!"

Red blood magic was also released from Latania's palms, and she looked at the guards around her nervously.

"Li Cheng, hurry up. They are all high-level knights. You won't have any advantage in a close combat."

"But please believe me, I definitely didn't commit these murders!"

"Of course I believe you, Tata. After all, we are accomplices."

Li Cheng took a step forward, with no sign of retreat in his eyes.

"Li Cheng..."

Latanya suddenly felt like crying.

Over the years, apart from Li Cheng, no one would stand by her side when she was in danger.

No one will believe her unconditionally anymore.

At this moment, Latania made up her mind that if the situation was really irreversible, she would let Li Cheng escape even if she had to forcibly summon the True Ancestor to come and drain all her blood and soul.

"Haha, this is really funny. Miss Latanya, I didn't say you were the murderer, I just said you were a suspect, and you reacted so strongly."

Ji Bo smiled jokingly: "Why? Are you feeling guilty?"

He smiled very happily.

He could already imagine the pain and sadness on Li Cheng's face when Latania was taken away by him.

So what if you are a genius?
