Chapter 454 Random Traps
Even after what Christine did, Ranran did not give up connecting Toke's painting with soon as Christine sat down, Ranran started questioning Alice again.
"Dear Ah Fu, can you just show the painting to everyone? Anyway, we all know who the person in the painting is, right?"
Alfu looked at Armand with some hesitation.
Armand raised an eyebrow, "Do as she says."
Ah Fu ignored Alice and Christine's gradually pale faces and directly lifted the canvas.
There were exclamations in the room instantly.
Regardless of anything else, this painting is beautiful enough to grab everyone's attention.
The woman in the painting has bright eyes, fair skin and soft red lips, and she looks so real that she seems to be smiling at everyone in the frame.
While everyone was admiring her, Shen Yin's expression was becoming increasingly ugly.
Ran Ran knocked on the table to draw everyone's attention back.
“I’m sure you’ll have the same feeling when you see this painting.”
“Beautiful and true.”
Ranran sighed in her heart, fortunately her memory is good, and she can remember clearly what she saw during color block vision.
The small pieces of patterns that were barely visible at the beginning were pieced together to become the beautiful Alice.
However, beauty is not the main source of shock; it is reality.
The sense of reality almost seems to have escaped from the painting.
Zhong Ning nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and even Kong Yan couldn't help but agree, "It really looks like a real person."
Ran Ran smiled and said, "I hope you can understand that no matter how talented a painter Toker is, he can never complete this work with imagination alone."
"And everyone already knows Toker's identity. In the words of Madam Christine, he is a lowly male servant."
"Generally speaking, people of this status would never have any contact with Miss Alice."
Ran Ran said calmly: "Our world has clear levels. As servants, Maid Eve may be able to have some communication with Miss Alice, but Toke can only stand and watch from a distance."
No one objected to Ranran's words, and Shenyin's face became paler and paler.
"Then the question is..." Ran Ran looked at the painting, "How did Toke know what Miss Alice looked like and draw such a realistic painting?"
The answer was obvious to everyone.
Ran Ran said calmly: “Miss Alice must have had contact with Toke.”
Shen Yin was stunned, and everyone looked at her. She said in panic: "No contact! At most, he has seen me!"
"If you've seen me, you can certainly draw this picture!"
Ran Ran's eyes were slightly cold, "So under what circumstances did Miss Alice meet Toke?"
"How should I know!" Shen Yin glanced at the gloomy Christine and immediately became confident. "I have visited the earl many times with my sister. There are so many servants in the castle. How can I remember when I met a servant?"
"Besides, I have no obligation to remember that there are more servants who have seen my appearance than my suitors. Do I have to avoid them to avoid this?"
After listening to this, Ran Ran's expression did not change. She just nodded, "I understand. Miss Alice, your attitude is that you will never have anything to do with a servant like Toke."
Shen Yin straightened up and raised his voice, "That's right!"
Ran Ran was unhurried, "So, I want to ask where did you go after dinner?"
Shen Yin was about to get angry, but Ran Ran said calmly, "Please believe me, Miss Alice. I have no intention of prying into your privacy. It's just that this time period is very special."
"Everyone at this round table was together on the way to the punishment room, and only you, Miss Alice, were missing." Christine pounded the table heavily, "Please choose your words carefully, Miss Elizabeth!"
"Not everyone is here." She pointed to Minister Gao and Zhong Ning, "I didn't see them."
Ran Ran raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't expect Kristen to notice this and be so attentive...
If Christine was someone who could pay attention to what was going on, she would not be as superficial and stupid as she appeared.
Ranran's eyes deepened, and she should re-examine this woman who depended on her husband Melris.
"Mrs. Christine is very attentive, but these two were together at the time. They can prove each other's identity. Does Miss Alice have anyone who can prove her identity?"
Christine's face was gloomy. "She is a noble lady! Does a lady need a servant to prove her whereabouts?!"
Ran Ran did not argue, but looked at Shen Yin sincerely, "How about this, there is no need for any witnesses to prove it, why don't you tell us yourself where you were and what you were doing during that time, Miss Alice."
Under Armand's scrutinizing gaze, Shen Yin had no choice but to speak.
"I just wander around the castle... I do this every time I come to the castle. Only when I'm alone can I feel free. I don't like anyone following me."
Ran Ran: "Walking around the castle, can Miss Alice tell me the specific location?"
Shen Yin became angry, "I already said we were just wandering around, how can we have a specific place to go? Of course we'll just go wherever we go!"
Ran Ran blinked her eyes. "If you walk on your feet, you will keep moving. What I want to ask is where you passed by."
"I said I don't remember! I was just wandering around! And it was so dark that I couldn't see clearly, how could I know where I was?"
Ran Ran raised her eyebrows. "Miss Alice is very brave. She can walk alone in such a dark night without anyone accompanying her or any lighting."
"I just like it this way, what's it to you?" Shen Yin was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes at Ran Ran.
Ran Ran smiled gently, "I have no intention of restraining Miss Alice at all, but the clearer you explain, the less suspicion there will be on you."
"In fact, I share the same opinion as Mrs. Christine. I don't think you, Miss Alice, will be involved with Toker."
"You are from two completely different worlds."
Shen Yin's emotions finally calmed down a bit, and she angrily said, "That's right! I just feel unlucky when he draws on me! Who wants to get involved with him?"
Ran Ran smiled and said, "Please forgive me, Miss Alice. I am only trying to find out the truth. I apologize to you here."
Shen Yin waved her hands, "Forget it, I don't mind, as long as you don't associate me with that dead man anymore."
"Okay." Ran Ran nodded, "But I have one last question for you, Miss Alice."
Shen Yin looked annoyed, "What's the problem again!"
"Have you ever been to the Earl's garden?"
The room suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and Shen Yin even held her breath.
"Never been there! Absolutely never been there!"
Ran Ran nodded, pretending to understand something, "So there isn't any."
"That's right! I haven't been there!"
Ran Ran confirmed again, “Miss Alice, can you confirm this?”
Shen Yin said without thinking: "Of course!"
Ran Ran looked puzzled and said sincerely: "But you just said that you were wandering around in the castle and you didn't know where you went~"
She had expected from the beginning that Alice would make excuses at all costs, and what she had to do was to prepare traps based on the loopholes in Alice's words and make Alice say contradictory things.
Look, the prey has jumped into the trap.
