Chapter 1372: Aftermath (Part 1)

"Your Highness, are you still going to continue acting? I think you should take advantage of everyone being here to tell me how you killed your wife?" Schiller said, smiling at Wang Fu, who was lying on the ground.

"You, what are you talking about?!" Wang Fu stood up and shouted.

"You killed Her Majesty the Queen of the Shi'ar Empire." Schiller's tone was very flat, as if he was simply stating a fact.

"You are crazy!!!" Wang Fu screamed, then he looked around and roared: "Where are the guards of Asgard?! Are you letting this lunatic talk nonsense here?!"

"My wife, Her Majesty the Queen of the Shi'ar Empire, was killed in Asgard. You didn't do your duty to protect her, and you actually want to accuse me of being the murderer?!!!"

Wang Fu's tone was full of disbelief. His eyebrows drooped down, but the corners of his eyes jumped up again. The muscles around his nose kept trembling, and his face was full of sadness, anger and disbelief.

"Doctor Schiller, do you have any basis for saying this?" Frigga took the lead to step forward to smooth things over. She said, "This prince is also a noble of the Shi'ar Empire. We cannot slander his reputation without evidence."

Strange also stepped forward and looked at Schiller and said, "Okay, Schiller, I know you are a psychologist and a detective, but this is indeed a bit absurd."

Thor looked at Schiller and said, "Doctor, do you mean that the queen of the Shi'ar Empire was killed by her husband?"

Schiller nodded. He did not care about the murderous look in the king's wife's eyes. He just looked at Thor and said, "Your Majesty must know that to solve the case by reasoning, we must know the timeline of the queen's activities in Asgard, and also That is, where did she go, what did she do, and who did she meet from the time she came here to the time she died here. "

"Everyone who has met the queen is a suspect. When we infer the time of the queen's death, we can ask all suspects to provide an alibi. Those who cannot provide an alibi are naturally the murderer. This is the most traditional way of solving the case."

The guests around nodded. Schiller had made it very clear that everyone who had contact with the queen was a suspect. As long as the time of the queen's death was determined, and everyone who had contact with the queen took turns to provide an alibi, the more detailed the alibi provided, the less suspicious they were. In this way, we can quickly get a list of suspects ranked from most to least suspicious.

Then we can judge who is the murderer among the most suspected people based on the queen's wounds, possible murder weapons, and the suspects' abilities.

Although not all civilizations have developed independent detection disciplines, this is essentially just a logical problem of constantly eliminating wrong answers, which is still easy to understand.

Thor glanced around and naturally noticed the attitude of the guests. Then he heard Schiller ask: "Then let's start from the beginning. After Her Majesty gets off the spaceship, the first person she should contact should be you. Excuse me, can I include you in the list?"

Thor cleared his throat and said: "No problem. Asgardians have always believed that as long as they do the right thing, they will not be afraid of others' speculation. The truth will always come out."

"Okay, Your Majesty, do you know where Lilandra, the Queen of the Shi'ar Empire, went after she finished her meeting with you on the night she arrived in Asgard?"

But when he said this, a trace of panic flashed between the eyebrows of the king's wife, but it was not the kind of panic that was about to be exposed, but a feeling of shame and anger, as well as a kind of resentment full of bitterness.

Thor touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Asgard will not monitor the whereabouts of guests at all times, and I have no intention of prying into the queen's private affairs, so her whereabouts are probably only known by the Asgardian guards or members of the Shi'ar Empire Guard."

"Do you need me to inform the Asgardian guards?" Sif asked.

At this time, the others set their sights on the two guards behind Wang Fu, the guard of the Shi'ar Empire. The young guard holding a sharp sword took the lead and took a step forward. He coughed twice and then said, "Since I came to Asgard, I have been following the Queen all the way. I think I have some say in this matter."

"Please speak, sir."

"After the meeting with His Majesty the God King, Her Majesty wanted to go back to her room, but she suddenly said that an old friend she hadn't seen for a long time also came here. She wanted to visit her old friend, so she sent for the butler to wash and dress up and go to the sixth floor of the Fairy Palace."

At this time, Sif gently touched the gem necklace around her neck with her hand, revealing a look of reminiscence. She said, "There are many guests on the sixth floor. I really don't know who the old friend Her Majesty the Queen of the Shi'ar Empire is talking about? Sir, did she say the name of that old friend?"

"What are you doing now?! Her Majesty's body has been hanging here for almost an hour! Shouldn't we first deal with her body in a more proper and decent way?!!" Wang Fu shouted again.

"Your Highness, you have to know that we must protect the crime scene so that we can find key clues from the body." Schiller explained patiently.

But Wang Fu didn't seem to take him seriously at all, and shouted loudly: "Do you Asgard just listen to a human? Don't you have your own opinions? Don't you know any interstellar etiquette?!"

Everyone showed a helpless expression on their faces, and the guests around them also felt a little annoyed.

The current scene is a bit similar to that all the adults are speaking very rationally, using their wisdom and judgment to discuss a very serious matter, but a naughty child ran over and shouted loudly with his teeth and claws bared. He could neither feel the calm logic nor understand the various judgments based on facts from the adults' mouths, but just output emotions in vain.

This kind of person who only outputs emotions when encountering things, has no rationality at all, and is very righteous and unreasonable, is very annoying everywhere, and all those who can still remain calm in the face of such people and can bring the topic back to the topic will show their high quality. If they can calm their emotions, it will be even more impressive.

"Your Highness, I admit that I just said something shocking, pointing out that you are the murderer, which made you feel scared and panicked."

"But this is also your chance to clear your suspicion. If you keep interrupting us, we can only interpret this as a guilty conscience."

Wang Fu was choked, and the scream that had been accumulated in his throat for a long time was swallowed back. Those screams that should have been spilled on the spot were like a whirlwind of sharp blades after being swallowed back into his stomach, making his chest and stomach hurt together.

In addition to the panic of being pointed out as the murderer, Wang Fu also had another kind of shame and annoyance, because he knew that as the timeline continued to move forward, people would definitely discover the fact that the queen had cheated on him, and no male creature could tolerate being discovered in public that his wife was cheating on him.

Wang Fu could already imagine that with all the heavyweight guests present, he would definitely become a laughing stock in the interstellar.

His wife hurried here, and on the first night after getting off the spaceship, she went to find her ex-husband to rekindle their old love. This simply threw his entire personality and self-esteem to the ground, and stepped on him a few times. Cowardly, incompetent, unattractive, and some more vicious words will surround him for the rest of his life.

Wang Fu sat on the ground, his hands on the ground, breathing heavily, his hands slowly clenched into fists, and another idea formed in his mind. Even if his wife's debauched cheating behavior could not be changed, he could at least prove to everyone that he was not completely incompetent. He gave this damn slut a profound lesson!

This was the only way for him to save some face.

Schiller was chatting with Star Lord about the queen's whereabouts, and the corner of his eye had already glanced at Wang Fu's tense arm muscles. He thought that with just one last fire, this poor rooster would be eager to jump up and crow to prove his masculine style.

In any patriarchal society, males will regard their wives and children as their own property, and their most passionate feelings for them are not love, but possession and control.

Even if modern society has covered this with a fig leaf in a civilized way, calling it marriage and family, in essence, this possessiveness is still primitive, instinctive, and almost irresistible.

This will lead to them having a kind of male self-esteem given by the patriarchal society in addition to their own personality requirements and social identity self-esteem. It is precisely because this is a primitive instinct that it is particularly difficult to resist, and when it is poked in the sore spot, the reaction will become more intense.

Schiller took advantage of this point. In addition to using the male self-esteem of the Queen of the Shi'ar Empire, Wang Fu, to make him kill the queen, he also used the same self-esteem to force him to confess.

In order to maintain his male self-esteem, Wang Fu could even accept that he became the murderer in the assassination of the queen, just to prove to everyone that he gave his wife who escaped from his control a sufficiently tragic punishment to show that he did not have no possession, and even exposing himself as the murderer was not important.

Schiller's speculation that Wang Fu has such a strong male self-esteem is also based on factual judgment. Whether in the comics or in the world he lives in, Lilandra has never forgotten Charles.

In the comics, Lilandra is even willing to give up the entire Shi'ar Empire for Charles and choose to stay on Earth to take care of him. Such strong feelings will inevitably be reflected everywhere in daily life.

In the daily life of the Shi'ar Queen and her husband, Wang Fu must be extremely insecure. Everyone knows that the queen once had a beloved partner. She held a grand celebration for him, and their vigorous love spread throughout the empire.

And Wang Fu seems a little redundant, perhaps a substitute, or perhaps just a boring pastime. Everyone is comparing him with his predecessor, and the predecessor who has died or left is always the best.

Such a living environment will distort Wang Fu's psychology. People often say that the less you have, the more you pursue something. Wang Fu has almost never shown any male self-esteem in himself. He has never controlled his wife as a male, and he has never even possessed her at the same time on both the physical and psychological levels.

Therefore, his desire to show off his male self-esteem will surely become stronger with the passage of time. When he finds that he has no chance to realize his self-esteem and that he has finally lost his wife, all his anger, grievances, and dissatisfaction will turn into a raging flame and completely burn a person's reason.

What Schiller did was essentially a kind of mental abuse and control. Wang Fu's male self-esteem was like a whistle for training a dog. As long as Schiller blew the whistle lightly, the other party would completely lose his mind, be reckless, and become like a crazy person.

Just like now, as Schiller's conversation with Star Lord and Sif became more and more in-depth, the queen's whereabouts were revealed to everyone little by little. His Majesty stayed up late at night and went to visit old friends. If he said that there was nothing, no one would believe it.

What was even more shocking was that this was the first night that the queen of the Shi'ar Empire came here. She couldn't even wait for a night and a day. The more anxious and hungry she was, the more redundant and ridiculous someone was.

"It seems that this old friend is very important to the Queen. So, this mysterious friend is also very suspicious. Your Majesty Sif, I'm afraid I have to ask you to ask the butler to check the guest list on the sixth floor to see if there are any suspicious people. It's impossible for someone who can be friends with the Queen of the Shi'ar Empire to be unknown, right?"

Schiller deliberately emphasized the word "unknown" to remind the king's husband that once Charles Xavier's name appears, everyone will know that he is the Queen's ex-husband, which will confirm that the Queen's night meeting with an old friend is actually cheating on the spot.

And she was impatient and very hungry, and she didn't even consider her husband's cheating for a second.

This is to announce to everyone that the Queen's current husband has never owned her, not even a little bit.

"In this case, Your Majesty, please allow me to leave for a while to call the butler to confirm the guest list." Sif smiled apologetically.

"Go ahead. I'm also curious about what the queen is doing on the sixth floor in the middle of the night..." Thor kissed Sif's forehead again.

Just as everyone was watching Sif's back, a hysterical voice came from the center of the dance floor.

"Enough!"
