"I?"
Long Guo pointed to his nose and asked, "Why?"
Li Zhi seemed to have rolled his eyes, but his tone was as usual: "It's not you, it's Princess Shu."
"Ah? Why?" Long Guo was puzzled.
Shu Li's eyes retracted at this moment and she opened her mouth to clarify his doubts: "Because of the brocade bag."
The exquisite brocade pouch was now held in Li Zhi's hand. He opened the binder of the brocade pouch through a layer of fabric and poured out the contents.
What rolled to the ground was a note folded into a small square and a piece of emerald-green glazed crabapple.
Li Zhi's movement was not careful. The glazed begonia fell from a height, but it did not break.
Everyone's eyes moved over, circling back and forth between the ground and Brother Shen, and they could see at a glance that the two were exactly the same.
The kit only passed through the hands of two people, namely Shu Li and Le Yan.
One of them is backed by the Qi Dynasty royal family, and the other is the young patriarch of a mysterious clan, so they both have the possibility of getting this strange poison.
And the note was opened by Li Zhiyi in the same way, and the content it wrote coincided with the begonia flower poison.
Take one of the petals of glazed crabapple, grind the dust into water or apply it on the mouth and nose.
Begonia buds grow in the heart of the poisoned person, sucking the blood from the heart until the begonia blooms, which is when the poison occurs and dies.
This note once again expanded the suspicion on Shu Li and Le Yan.
Shu Li herself had no objection to Li Zhi searching her area first, and the others did not speak.
So, a few of them, plus Qizhen, who had been silent for a long time, entered Shuli's area first.
In fact, there are several similar small cells, only about a few square meters inside. You can see the entire small space at a glance.
If all five people went in, it would be difficult to turn around, so Shu Li and Long Guo walked to the cell next door.
After pushing open the door, Long Guo's eyes flashed across the next door, and then he lowered his voice: "Did you and Lao Li discuss any plans again?"
"Why do you say that?" Shu Li didn't understand, but it still didn't stop her from searching for clues in this room.
"I still have a very deep memory of my injury, but it completely improved as soon as I entered the dungeon. Apart from the two of you, I didn't expect anyone else to be so kind to me."
"Huh?" Shu Li raised an eyebrow and turned back: "So?"
"Moreover, I thought when I saw Qizhen, this must be your response."
Shu Li blinked and looked at him quietly, as if she was waiting for the next step.
Long Guo clicked on the permissions of the shared panel, and a cautious expression appeared on his usually uncalculated face: "My voting rights are gone."
"This shows that we have experienced this dungeon at least once, and even reached the time of voting, but we still restarted this dungeon."
Shu Li glanced at her own panel. The voting rights were still there, and she didn't find anything unusual on it for the time being.
"Is there anything else you think is wrong?"
Long Guo shook his head: "Except for my injury being healed and my vote gone, I haven't noticed anything else."
"Don't say this out loud yet. Let's solve the case based on the clues first." Shu Li gave a few instructions, and then focused on the thing in his hand.
It seems that the dungeon setting intentionally shortened the duration, so everyone's key items were brought together.
Shu Li held a dusty baggage in her hand, which was bulging with many things.
Shu Li placed the bundle on the small table in the cell, opened it and looked at it.
Inside is a set of night clothes, with wet marks on the cuffs. If you get closer, you can smell a faint smell of blood.
Under the night clothes is a book with information on the cover of the Qi Dynasty's distribution of soldiers in the city.
"This is Brother Shen's room." Long Guo also found some clues, which was a pass to Bu Zhan Po Shang City with his name and identity written on it.
The name written on the pass is Boss Shen, and he is a commoner in the border town of Qi Dynasty. The merchant sells sesame cakes, cold-repelling soup and the like.
"That's the spy."
Then, they found an unsealed letter in the room. In it, Boss Shen recounted the hard work of enduring humiliation and hardship over the years, and hoped that in exchange for the distribution of troops in Qi Dynasty's border towns, he could return to Yan in glory.
This shows that the reason why one of the five people killed him was because he discovered Boss Shen's identity as a spy.
When they walked out of the cell door, the people on the other side also walked out.
The moment the two sides looked at each other, Qizhen took the lead in asking a question: "What is it that you are looking for?"
Such a sentence made Shu Li startled.
Qizhen didn't explain clearly, but Li Zhi explained it in detail.
"We found many secret letters you received, and the orders urging you to find something are more urgent than the last." Li Zhi also brought out one: "There is also the latest one, which you already know. Knowing the whereabouts of that thing, the person who gave you the secret letter ordered you to get it at all costs."
"A treasure of the Moon Clan." Shu Li answered calmly, without any hesitation.
"It is rumored that the Yue Clan has a treasure that can conquer the world. Which emperor would choose not to believe such news."
"Because I was afraid of being discovered by Yan Chao, I, a princess who has never appeared in front of others, was chosen to find me. Although I am acting on the surface, secretly the old emperor's secret guards are responsible for the main affairs."
"So, your target is Fengyue?" Li Zhi frowned, confusion spreading on his face.
Shu Li nodded, but looked at Li Zhi with a searching look.
After learning that Long Guo had lost his right to vote, Shu Li saw something else in Li Zhi's actions.
Qizhen snorted coldly from the side: "Now, the most suspicious person is Feng Yue. Let's search her room and discuss it later."
"To reiterate, in this dungeon, only one side, the real murderer or the others, can survive."
Qizhen's eyes fell on Shuli, and the meaning of his words was self-evident.
If you vote against the real murderer, the real murderer will die for the rest of your life.
If you cast the wrong one for the real murderer, the others will die and the real murderer will live.
He was reminding Li Zhi and the others not to choose the wrong way.
But based on this, he also knew that he was not the murderer.
That's why he can now look at everything in front of him calmly and independently.
No wonder, his attitude has always been very relaxed.
"Take care of yourself." Li Zhi raised the corners of his lips contemptuously, not taking Qizhen's words seriously.
His ridicule and contempt were far more unacceptable to Qizhen than Shuli's attitude.
Li Zhi's attitude comes from the mentality of crushing Qizhen a long time ago, which is different from Shu Li's attitude that he became familiar with later.
Qizhen frowned after Li Zhi said this, and the resistance and hatred that emerged in his heart came naturally.
