Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment Chapter 1679: She Lied to You and Everyone Else

Chapter 1679: She Lied to You and Everyone Else

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“We have never dared to set foot in the Duke’s study! For so many years, it has been treated as a forbidden area and we have never crossed the line!”

“Although I entered great-grandfather’s study, I only went in to play. I didn’t touch anything, let alone take anything!”

“I’m similar to Little William. I just went in to play and looked at the books. I never dared to touch my great-grandfather’s things.”

“Me too. I just saw that Uncle’s study was very beautiful, and there were many beautiful decorations and books…”

“…”

Everyone had their own set of excuses, and there was no way to verify them.

Isabella asked a few times, but she could not find any flaws.

Soon, the questioning reached a stalemate.

Seeing this, Ye Feng coughed lightly. “Let me try.”

Isabella seemed to have a headache. She rubbed her forehead and nodded. Then, she quietly moved aside.

Ye Feng immediately walked to her side and looked at Little William, Farry, and the rest of the people. “Next, I will be the one to question everyone.”

“Before I start asking, let me remind everyone that I’m different from this Royal Secret Agent of the Sun Never Sets Empire.”

“I came from the mysterious East. In my country, there is a skill called physiognomy, which is similar to divination and witchcraft. It has been pa.s.sed down for many years.”

“Through physiognomy, we can see through a person’s past and even see their future.”

When Little William, Farry, and the rest heard this, they were confused, they looked at Ye Feng curiously.

Isabella and Duke Buckingham were also surprised and looked over.

Ye Feng’s expression did not change. “Coincidentally, I know a little about this skill. I can use it to find out who stole the exclusive Victoria Cross Medal.”

Then, he looked around at Farry and the others.

“So, before I ask, I want to give the person who stole the exclusive Victoria Cross a chance.”

“I hope the person will admit their mistake before I name them.”

“So I won’t expose them in public later and make the scene too ugly.”

Little William was still curious. He raised his head and asked in confusion, “Is it really that magical?”

“Is that like the magicians in cartoons?”

“Do you know magic?”

Duke Buckingham’s great-granddaughter was a little skeptical. “It should be a bluff, right?”

“I’m not a three-year-old child anymore. I don’t believe in this.”

“Otherwise, why would our country still need the police? We might as well go to the East to learn what you call physiognomy. Then, the criminals will have nowhere to hide.”

Farry, on the other hand, looked worried. She quickly glanced at Little William.

After a moment of hesitation, she suddenly said, “Little William didn’t do it on purpose.”

Ye Feng did not have any expression when he heard this.

Duke Buckingham’s expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously blurted out, “What do you mean?”

“You’re saying that the exclusive Victoria Cross was stolen because of Little William?”

Farry seemed a little conflicted and didn’t answer immediately.

Little William, who was only three years old, burst into tears. “It wasn’t Little William.”

“When Sister Farry gave the medal to Little William, he thought it was pretty and fun, so he played with it for a while.”

“Little William clearly remembered to put it back after he finished playing.”

“But later, great-grandfather said that the thing was gone.”

“It definitely wasn’t Little William who lost it!”

Duke Buckingham’s expression was a little ugly. “Little William, where did you go with the medal?”

“I went to many places, the entire manor, and the park outside…” Little William felt wronged. “I do remember putting it back where it was.”

“Great-grandfather, it wasn’t me.”

Farry shook her head. “He used to play with other toys, and there were a few times when he thought he put them back where he found them.”

“But in fact, how can a child remember so many things?”

“After playing, he’d casually put it aside and forget about it.”

Duke Buckingham’s face immediately darkened.

Indeed, Little William was only three years old.

At this age, he did not have a strong ability to remember things.

Previously, when he was playing with things, he would often lose things.

If the exclusive Victoria Cross medal was taken out by Little William to play, it was very likely that he had lost it while playing.

However, Duke Buckingham still looked at Farry with the last bit of hope. “Farry, Little William said that you gave him the medal.”

“Later, do you remember that Little William returned the medal to its original place?”

Farry shook her head and said timidly, “I went to Uncle’s study to read a book and accidentally saw the medal. I thought it was very beautiful, so I picked it up and looked at it.”

“Then Little William saw it and wanted to play with it. I gave it to him and continued reading.”

“I read until evening. When Little William returned, I forgot about this.”

“Try to recall. Did he bring back the medal?” Duke Buckingham looked like he was grasping at his last straw. He stared at Farry and asked again.

Farry looked confused. She shook her head and looked at Little William. “Little William, think about it.”

“Are you sure you brought the medal back that day?”

Little William was obviously not confident after hearing her words. He stopped crying for a moment.

Seeing this, Duke Buckingham was certain that his great-grandson had accidentally lost it.

He looked dejected. “Little William, Little William. What should great-grandfather say about you?”

“It’s fine if you play with other things, but that’s the exclusive Victoria Cross that Great-grandpa needs to save his life!”

“…”

Little William felt that he was the one in the wrong after hearing what his great-grandfather said.

Tears fell from the corners of her eyes. “I’m, I’m sorry, Great-grandpa.”

“Little William didn’t do it on purpose!”

“Little William will go and find it for great-grandfather now…”

As he spoke, he wanted to run out of the manor.

But Ye Feng pulled him back. “No need to go.”

“You didn’t lose it.”

Little William was stunned when he heard that, he looked up at Ye Feng with tears in his eyes.

“How could it not be me?”

“I was the one who took it out to play, and then I lost it?”

“Sister Farry said that she doesn’t remember if I brought it back after I took it out to play…”

Ye Feng smiled, and he gently stroked his head. “That’s because she lied to you and everyone else.”
