Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 369 Puzzle Game
Saintfield VI died. According to the doctor Duan Mingyuan's explanation, if we ignore the deceased's hideous appearance before his death, he can be considered to have died of old age. For the Saintfield family, this is a happy funeral.

This old man has lived for 170 years. All of his contemporaries as Semites have been outlived by him, except for Morgan VII, who abandoned his body and dedicated his soul to the digital world.

Unfortunately, such statements do not seem to convince the Saintfield family.

That very night, the consortium issued an order, requiring Fuling to thoroughly investigate the truth, especially since they suspected that the death of the current head of the family was related to Duan Mingyuan who "coincidentally" appeared on the eco-ship. After all, this person had a long criminal record, and the Shan people still firmly believed that it was he who blew up the flagship of the Yinlian family.

If Morgan VII had not had a physical body, this Blue Star man would probably have become the first person in the universe to kill two family leaders.

This is a feat that even the most legendary killers dare not imagine.

"It's another mess."

It was already two o'clock in the morning when the video conference ended. After she settled the scholars who came to attend the summit, she still had to face the questioning of the consortium. Everyone in the video conference had a stern face, sad and angry about the death of Saintfield VI, but in fact she knew very well that these people were already very happy in their hearts.

Saintfield VI had occupied the position of head of the family for more than a hundred years, and even many people of his younger generation had died of old age. Now, the position of head of the family was vacant. What's worse, the current head of the family died suddenly and did not leave any legally effective will.

Therefore, the backbone of the Saintfield family all have the opportunity to pick up this pie that falls from the sky.

"I bet they're all secretly in their rooms, popping champagne and saying how good it was that Saintfield VI died."

Only the bitterness in Fuling's heart is real.

She was out of tune with the Semitic people's carnival. The carnival at the top often meant that the lower-level departments would suffer.

As the newly appointed director of the life science department, Fuling became the unlucky guy.

What's more, she had some good feelings towards the deceased Saintfield VI, or to be more precise, she supported him to continue sitting in the position of head of the family.

Although this old man is sometimes stubborn and difficult, he is over 170 years old after all, and he usually doesn't cause them any trouble. But when the new head of the Saintfield family takes over, God knows how many changes will be brought about.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Duan Mingyuan, you have also become the target of trouble. Although the family has not yet insisted that it was you who did it, at least they hope that you can prove your innocence."

Fuling looked at Duan Mingyuan with sympathy. Now they were in the same boat.

"As far as I know, there are at least four factions within the Saintfield family who hope to succeed the position of family head. The competition between them has already begun. The party that finds out the truth about the death of the previous family head and arrests the real murderer will gain a huge lead."

However, there is an easier way than finding out the truth.

——Put the blame on Duan Mingyuan.

Anyway, in the eyes of the Semites, he already had a long criminal record, so no one would be surprised if he did anything shocking again.

Fuling felt that if Duan Mingyuan had not been such a good fighter, the Shan people would have used him as a scapegoat and publicly executed him a hundred times.

"We have a solid alibi, isn't that enough?"

Protests were lodged in September.

This is clearly not in line with the spirit of the rule of law!

When Saintfield VI died, they were meeting his parents. How could they have the time to sneak into Saintfield VI's room and kill him?
"Alibis are no longer useful these days."

Fuling spread his hands.

Due to the existence of supernatural powers, killing people from a distance is really too easy.

Just as the emergence of artificial intelligence has squeezed out many people's jobs, the killers of this era are also experiencing more severe tests.

If there is still a killer who must appear at the scene in person to kill someone, it only means that he is not suitable for this profession, and it may be a better choice to work in an electronics factory. "Then doesn't it mean that it's all up to them to make up nonsense, and we have no way to prove our innocence?"

Jiu Yue spoke with righteous indignation, as if she hated the rumor-mongering to the core, and completely forgot about the rumor she had spread that Duan Mingyuan was a cannibal.

"Unfortunately, at least that's how reality works right now."

This incident did not only happen to Duan Mingyuan. The Semites had used the same method to forcibly convict many people, so when they suspected you of committing a crime, you'd better actually do it.

If necessary, the Semites would hypocritically offer the accused a chance to stand trial in public.

They would be brought to trial, but the judges, lawyers, and even the defense counsel for the accused were all their people.

Anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was just a formality, and only those young people who were caught up in idealism would naively believe that the trial was fair and just.

Fuling could feel that the Saintfield family was weighing the pros and cons.

After carefully weighing the possibility of Duan Mingyuan visiting their space station in a rage and then blowing up their home, they had not yet become too aggressive.

"unless……"

Fuling changed the subject and said, "Unless you can find the real murderer."

"Mr. Mingyuan, please say something. How about we go and blow up their space station?"

September proposed.

She had long disliked the Semites. Before they visited the Prison Star, the news media had long described Duan Mingyuan as the de facto leader of a terrorist organization, a tyrant, and an incorrigible murderer.

The good news is that Mr. Ming Yuan is one of the very few people capable of proving these allegations.

Jiu Yue has always felt that Duan Mingyuan has the ability to become a perverted serial killer, and even a real cannibal.

"I always felt that Saintfield VI's reaction was a little strange."

Duan Mingyuan ignored the conversation between Fuling and Jiuyue and started thinking by himself.

When the old man was still alive, he had no reason to pay much attention to the other party, but now thinking back, Saintfield VI's reaction after encountering the "black mud" was really abnormal. Even the way of death was very different from the traditional cognition of the "black mud" incident.

He died before he could go through the process of being doubted by those around him and left alone in fear.

Looks like he was scared to death.

He saw something terrible before he died, which extinguished the flame of his life, which was already a flickering candle in the wind.

"Mr. Mingyuan, are you really going to catch the murderer?"

"I'm not interested in family matters."

Duan Mingyuan doesn't care about what the Semites think of him, and he won't fall into the trap of endless self-proof.

What really interested him was what had killed Saintfield VI.

After they learned about the legend of "black mud", they appeared by coincidence, as if it was arranged in advance.

“It’s a little more fun to solve puzzles.”
