"Miss Lenise, according to what you said, you felt something was wrong when you came to Huang Jinji's room, so you had your Maid of Mercury break in. Is that right?"
The head of the Izaluma family, Balon, was a bearded gentleman in his forties. He had short brown hair and wore a wine-red suit. Perhaps it was because of his leg injury, he was leaning on a crutch.
At this moment, the forty-year-old gentleman looked at Lenise with a gaze as sharp as a knife.
Everyone turned their attention to Ermero's little princess, Emperor Ermero II's adopted sister, Lenise Ermero Azizolti.
"Just as Sir Balon said."
Although Lenise was only fifteen years old and was at the scene of a murder, her expression remained calm. Or rather, she was trying her best to remain calm.
"Because Huang Jinji didn't want to open the door, I felt something was wrong and had Trimm destroy the door."
Trimm Mau was the name of the Maid of Mercury that Lenise had.
The essence of the Mercury Maid was a magic dress. Her entire body was made of mercury, and her body could change freely. She had powerful housework abilities and combat abilities, and after being given a simulated personality and autonomy, she became even more convenient.
Ryuga had once wanted to use the Maid of Mercury, but because it was Ermero's secret, he didn't do anything about it. It wasn't the right time for him to fall out with Ermero.
"Aiya, aiya, does this mean that everyone who stayed in the tower tonight will become a suspect?"
Aoqi Cheng didn't wear her glasses. She looked at Huang Jinji's body in the room and said in a cold tone. Not only did she not sympathize with the dead, but after looking around the room, a happy smile even appeared on her face.
"This is interesting. The murderer went too far. What's the point of doing this in a place where magicians are everywhere?"
Aoqi Orange walked to the door and took out a metal lock from the broken pieces of the door.
It was not an ordinary lock, but a magic lock. It was a small but very practical magic attire that was widely circulated in the world of magicians.
"The function of this lock is that it can only be opened when the magic wavelength of the person who comes in matches with it. Even the treasury of the clock tower uses this magic lock. In other words, only the owner of the room, Huang Jinji, can open this lock."
Aoqi Orange's words attracted everyone's attention, but she turned a deaf ear to them and looked at Lenise.
"In other words, this is a secret chamber in name only. However, for a magician, a secret chamber is meaningless. There are all kinds of magic spells that can be cast from dozens of miles away. But in this case, your magic attire, the Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid, is undoubtedly more feasible, isn't it?"
Aoqi Orange pointed the spearhead at Lenise, which made the fifteen-year-old blonde girl's expression change slightly. "With the ability of your Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid, sneaking into the room without opening the door and cutting Huang Jinji into eight pieces is a simple matter."
"Besides, in principle, the most suspicious person at the scene of a murder is the first person to discover it, right?"
Lenise's heart was beating fast.
Although she had already guessed that she would be targeted, she did not expect it to come so soon. Moreover, the first person to target her was the crown magician, Aoqi Orange.
This was the worst possible development.
"And, the most important thing is, Miss Lenise should be the last person to see Huang Jinji, right?"
Aoqi Orange's targeting of her was not over yet. "Carina, come out and tell me about the situation last night."
When she pointed out the names of the two maids, Karina, who used to be Huang Jinji's personal maid, stepped out from the crowd.
Although her appearance was not as good as Huang Jinji and Bai Yinji, she was very outstanding among ordinary people.
When she came out, Ryuga looked at her with a look of scrutiny.
Then, he glanced at Aoqi Orange who was standing at the side. He thought that she would blame him for the murder, but he didn't expect that she didn't … Even if she didn't suspect the cloaked man, she should at least tell him about the cloaked man's existence, right?
Now, this scene looked like it had been rehearsed long ago and was specifically targeted at someone.
"Carina, according to what you said before, Huang Jinji should have gone to Miss Lenise's room in the Tower of the Sun, right? What did they talk about at that time? "
Aoqi Orange asked Carina.
Lenise's heart suddenly thumped.
"Last night … Miss Diadona did go to Miss Lenise's room. At that time, they talked about … Miss Diadona wanted Miss Lenise's help to escape to Ermero."
"Hiss …"
Several people in the crowd sucked in a breath of cold air after hearing Karina's words.
Huang Jinji, Diadona wanted to escape from Izaruma?!
"How … how is that possible!?"
In the crowd, pharmacist Mayo exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Diadona, she … she actually …"
"Hmph, you can't pretend you didn't hear that."
Balon slammed his cane on the ground, making the people around him quiet down. At the same time, his face showed a look of anger, "Ermero's little princess, I hope you can explain what's going on?"
His face was a bit artificial.
Although he should be trying his best to build up his feelings, he should have no experience in acting, so in Ryuga's eyes, his angry expression was a bit fake.
Liuxia was very good at observing people's expressions. In order for her emotionless self to successfully blend into this extremely exclusive group of humans, Liuxia had trained her powerful observation and acting skills since she was young. That was why she could tell that something was wrong with Balon's expression.
In contrast, Lenise's expression was much more interesting.
She was completely aware that the people around her were targeting her, and it was not an exaggeration to say that Aoqi Orange and Balon's actions were all suspicion on her.
"Miss Diadona … did come to talk to me about this matter."
She hesitated for a moment, but still tried to calm herself down. At this time, she could not be silent. Once she was silent, it meant that she agreed with everything that Balon said. She had to calm down and find a good reason to refute.
"But, I swear that I have no intention of harming Miss Diadona. No matter what, isn't it meaningless for me to harm someone who asked me to help her escape?"
Lenise tried hard to think of a reason to refute.
