My mother's love song

Do you really not have the thought, "Ah, maybe that person did this..."?

"!!!"

The ghost girl Hongye lowered her head with a complicated expression and bit her lips softly.

The others seemed to understand something as well, and remained silent and hesitant.

When Caster was found this morning, she was lying on a messy bed, her neat kimono had been stripped off for most of the time, and her breasts and lower body were completely exposed.

No matter how you look at it, the girl's body is telling an obvious truth.

This was a murder caused by an attempted rape.

"After entering the room, the murderer attempted to assault Caster, but was met with fierce resistance.

During their confrontation, the murderer, perhaps out of rage or simply out of carelessness, ended up killing Caster. "

Rhodes concluded with a smile on his face.

"The murderer is a man who is not satisfied with having sex with six women at night. It is only reasonable to think so, right?"

……

……

……

Rhodes came to the room where Aika Sajo's body was placed.

The girl lay there quietly, her beauty did not fade at all due to the loss of temperature, but instead became even more dignified.

Rhode sat down next to Caster and looked at her face quietly.

My mother and grandmother died overnight, and I have mixed feelings.

The boy said to the expressionless body of the girl.

"Although I really want to say, could it be that you locked yourself in the room and committed suicide and then framed me...

It does seem like something you would do, but it doesn’t seem to be the case this time.”

This was a premeditated murder.

The person who killed Caster was undoubtedly someone who stayed in this mansion last night.

The purpose [motive for murder] was probably to end Rod's Holy Grail War.

The boy slowly stood up and glanced at the peaceful sleeping beauty.

"I know, I know. I will find the criminal."

If you want to wake up the sleeping princess, you have to end this absurd suspense drama and get the story back on track as a lighthearted romantic comedy. That's the rule, right?

Rhodes sighed and closed the door of the room where Aige's body was placed.

"Alas, what a willful princess..."

Chapter 740 Come back to life, my mom!

It's dinner time again.

Everyone gathered in the front hall to eat.

The dining style of ancient Japanese nobles was that everyone gathered in one room, with a low table with dishes placed in front of each person, and they ate their own food.

This is the first time we have had such a formal meal in more than two years.

Rhodes sat alone in the seat of honor, while the women in their best clothes sat in a row in the room like stone lions on both sides of the road.

All the maids in the mansion were temporarily dismissed by Rhodes due to the Holy Grail War, so today's dinner can be described as light and simple.

Only the sound of chopsticks hitting dishes echoed in the large room.

"Should we bring some food to our beloved son? Well, just consider it as a tribute."

Rhode's joke about hell didn't get a good response. Normally, Sei Shonagon would have laughed so hard that he fell backwards, but today he ate his meal properly.

The depressing atmosphere made Rhodes feel like he was almost suffocating.

What can I do to lighten the mood a little?

Or how about just imitate Oda Nobunaga and suddenly jump onto the table during a dinner and start striptease in public?

While Rhodes was hesitating, Murasaki Shikibu broke the silence in the room.

She slammed the bowl in her hand onto the table: "I really still can't accept it!"

"I'm sorry... I'm just thinking about it. I won't really do a striptease."

Murasaki Shikibu's eyes widened in anger: "It's absolutely impossible that the Lord of Light is a criminal! I absolutely cannot accept it!"

So you're not talking about striptease, don't scare me.

"I don't believe that the Lord of Light would force a girl, and he certainly wouldn't kill someone just because she rejected him."

Fujiwara Kaori placed her hands on the table, raised her waist and asked the other girls present: "...I'm sure everyone thinks the same way, right?"

Rod was so moved when he saw his beautiful wife defending him so desperately: those huge breasts were shaking so vigorously.

"Calm down, Xiaoxiang. Not only you, but everyone thinks so."

Noko quickly tried to smooth things over by saying, "How could Hikari no Okabe kill Miss Aiko?"

"That's right. My Lord is a man of high character. How could he possibly commit such a heinous crime?"

Thank you for your trust, Miss Hongye, but it is too exaggerated to say that I have a noble character. It seems fake.

The reason why the atmosphere at dinner tonight turned out so bad was simple.

Currently, all the evidence is against Rhodes.

In this "Snowstorm Villa" mode protected by a large barrier, Rhodes is the only suspect.

Among all the people present, he was the only one who met the three requirements of [no alibi], [supernatural ability to set up a secret room], and [power to kill Caster easily].

Then, Rod was also the only one with sufficient motive to kill.

There were signs of struggle on Aika Sajo's body, proving that she had fought with someone before her death.

When her body was found, she was still stripped of her kimono, exposing her breasts and lower body.

No matter how you look at it, this is a murder case stemming from a sexual crime.

Rhodes is the only male, and he is a sex maniac.

After spending one night having sex with six wives, he still felt unsatisfied and finally extended his evil hands to Caster who was a guest at his home.

"Since you are my magician, you are my woman, right? Stop pretending to be innocent and make me feel good!"

"No, don't... Let go... Master! Think about your wives!"

"Huh? A mere familiar dares to resist me?"

(Pah, a slap was given)

(Rod rides on Caster's waist and starts tearing her kimono)

(...)

I can already imagine the scene at that time.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

Rhodes suddenly laughed happily.

"That... sir?"

"Oh, that's really amazing."

Rhodes patted his thigh.

He did not use his usual tone, but spoke in the tone of the Great God: "This boring trick is so stupid that I can't help but laugh.

Are you going through all this trouble just to frame me for murder? What's the point of doing this?"

"what do you mean……?"

Miss He couldn't help but ask.

"Listen carefully, this mansion is the private domain of the Shogun recognized by the imperial court, and it is my territory.

I am the only one who has the power of law in this palace. He is just a mere sorcerer from another world. Even if I kill him, what does it matter?"

With an extremely arrogant attitude, Rhodes turned to one of the people in the room.

"Left Horse Head."

"exist."

Minamoto no Raikou respectfully placed his hands on his legs and bowed his head towards the young man.

Rhodes said: "I was the one who killed that woman last night, what should I do... Maintaining the law and order in the capital is your job, right?

So, are you planning to file a complaint with the court for murder and have the prosecutor brought in here to put me in jail?"

"How can it be."

Raikou narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Killing your own magician is a right you already have in the Tenlan Holy Grail War.

If the court sends someone to hold you accountable, I will protect you to the death. Even if I become an enemy of the court, I will not show weakness."

The air was filled with the fierce fighting spirit emanating from Lai Guang, telling us that what she had just said was not a joke, but a serious one.

When everyone was at a loss,

“…See, that’s it.”

Rhode held up his face and smiled gently: "So the real murderer's behavior is stupid. He actually wanted to frame me for the crime. What part of his brain is wrong?"

"That... wasn't someone Light killed himself."

Sei Shonagon was somewhat frightened by Rhodes's performance just now, and asked with lingering fear.

"No."

Rhodes asserted.

The girls finally breathed a sigh of relief, drooped their shoulders and said, "That's great."

"Hey? Wait? You really think I did it just now!?"

Sei Shonagon scratched his cheek embarrassedly: "Ahahahaha...after all, this murder was caused by a sexual crime.

Although there is only a one in a billion chance, if it is the Light's parent, maybe he will really do it..."

"I won't do that! You, please trust me a little more!"

Rhode's shouting made the girls laugh happily, but the laughter soon died down.

Since Rhodes himself is not the murderer, the murderer must be one of the six women now staying in this room.

Only this profound fact will not change

The person who killed Miss Aiko and framed Rod was one of his wives.

"So, what was the murderer's purpose?"

Hearing Musashi's simple question, Rhodes rested his chin on his hand in thought.

"I have also considered whether the murderer simply intended to stigmatize me, but in that case there should be a better way."

"……Correct."

Musashi nodded.

After all, can Caster really be considered a human being? Killing her would not constitute a crime, and it would hardly ruin Rhode's reputation.

Therefore, a more reasonable guess is that the other party's target was Caster from the very beginning.

"That doesn't make sense. Since the criminal doesn't intend to fight you...what's the purpose of framing you?"

"do not know."

Rhodes said as a matter of course.

"Although I don't know the purpose, I already know who the criminal is."
