"Why would I be angry? I''m just curious," Jiang BaiYan said with a smile. "I think my reasoning is very sound. Dan wouldn''t approach me because I''m not of his bloodline.

"Even if he didn''t approach you, you would approach him. Dan''s health was already very poor. If you wanted to be the heir, shouldn''t you seize the opportunity to prove yourself?" Liu Sau-chi said.

She looked at Min-cheol Park: "Of all the people here, only you prepared poison, showing clear murderous intent. I strongly suspect you.

Jian Jing didn''t answer directly, instead saying: "From what we''ve seen so far, everyone has basically focused on witchcraft. The difference in suspects is whether the killer is the vessel or the vessel''s rtive or lover. For me, as long as there''s a motive, the restes down to physical evidence.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"I don''t know if anyone has noticed, but the witch''s clothing was a bit disheveled, and the candles on the altar were scattered. If there had been a struggle, this wouldn''t be strange, but the witch died of natural causes, so why is the scene so messy?

"Considering Raj''s testimony, I believe that after the murder, the killer remained at the scene for some time, searching the area and the witch''s body. What was their purpose?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

Wataru Kojima looked at her, then suddenly said: "I originally had two suspects, the third son and the nephew.

"This alone is not enough to convict, but what if the third son used her? The fiancée''s only support would be her fiancé.

"My primary suspect was Mr. Park. But just now, I changed my mind. As a detective, bringing the culprit to justice is only right and proper. Miss Jian''s reason doesn''t convince me at all. Why would you do this?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
