"I can prove that Mr. Yan Huan is not suspected of stealing the sword." Huaiyan stepped forward and defended Yan Huan:
"He came straight to me after leaving the Artisanship Commission."
"So the investigator doesn't need to waste time on him..."
Dahao pondered:
"Since that's the case, let's simply summarize."
"Not everyone who has seen the sword has been to the Artisanship Commission, and not everyone who wants the sword has seen it..."
"Eliminating them this way, only Miss Yunli is left as a suspect."
Yunli: "That makes a lot of sense."
Dahao: "Then..."
Yunli: "I didn't steal the sword."
Dahao: "..."
"Sigh."
Dahao sighed helplessly.
"When you have eliminated all possible factors, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
"No!" Yan Huan immediately stepped forward and retorted:
"You can't completely rule out my suspicion yet. I could totally steal the sword and then run to Sichen Palace to chat with General Huaiyan!"
"..."
"Well, did you steal it?"
"No."
"Then what are you messing around for!"
"I just think we need to be rigorous."
"..."
"How about this." Yan Huan proposed a solution.
"Let's play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever loses is the one who stole the sword, and we'll execute him."
"I agree." Yunli immediately raised her fist. "Who goes first, or do we all go together?"
The dumbfounded group instinctively raised their hands and then opened them simultaneously.
Yunli, Yan Huan, Dahao, Master Gongshu, and the delegation members all threw paper, while only Huaiyan tremblingly threw rock.
"..."
Yan Huan immediately pointed the finger:
"It seems you are the one who stole the sword. Let's execute him."
"..."
"Hey! Don't ruin this old man's reputation!" Huaiyan stamped his feet in anger. "Can we please discuss this properly?"
"Everyone disperse for now and clear your heads."
Hearing this, everyone nodded,
