Chapter 1679 [1679] She lied to you and everyone else
"We have never dared to set foot in the Duke's study! For so many years, we have regarded it as a forbidden area and never stepped out of line!"

"Although I have been to my great-grandfather's study, I only went in to play. I didn't touch anything, let alone take anything!"

"I am similar to little William. I just went in to play and take a look at the books. I never dared to touch my great-grandfather's things."

"Me too. I just saw that my uncle's study is very beautiful, and there are many beautiful ornaments and books..."

"..."

Everyone has their own story, and it's impossible to verify it.

Isabella asked several times in succession, and each time she answered the question was flawless.

Soon, the inquiry reached a deadlock.

Seeing this, Ye Feng coughed lightly and said, "Let me try."

Isabella seemed to be a little overwhelmed and couldn't help rubbing her eyebrows. After nodding, she silently moved away.

Ye Feng immediately walked to her side and looked around at Little William, Farrell and others, "Next, I will question you all."

"Before I ask you any questions, let me remind you that I am different from the royal agent of the British Empire next to me."

"I come from the mysterious East. There, we have a skill called physiognomy, which is similar to your divination and witchcraft, and it has been passed down for many years."

"Through physiognomy, we can see through a person's past and even glimpse his future."

Little William, Farri and others were obviously confused when they heard this, and they looked at Ye Feng curiously with their eyes wide open.

Isabella and the Duke of Buckingham were probably a little surprised and also looked over.

Ye Feng's expression remained unchanged. "Coincidentally, I know a little bit about this skill. I can use it to find out who stole the out-of-print Victoria Cross."

As he said this, he looked around at Farri and the others again.

"So, before I question you, I still want to give the person who stole the rare Victoria Cross a chance."

"I hope he can stand up and admit his mistake before I name him."

"Because I'll expose her in public and make the scene too embarrassing."

Upon hearing this, little William was obviously still very curious. He tilted his head and asked in a slightly confused manner, "Is it really that magical?"

"Is that like the magician in the cartoons?"

"Can you do magic?"

The great-granddaughter of the Duke of Buckingham was a little skeptical, "It must be a bluff, right?"

"I'm not a three-year-old kid anymore. I don't believe this."

"Otherwise, why would we need police in our country? We could just go to the East and learn what you call physiognomy, and then all criminals would be exposed."

Farri, on the other hand, seemed very worried and took a quick look at little William.

Then he hesitated for a moment and suddenly said, "Little William didn't mean it."

When Ye Feng heard the voice, his expression did not change at all.

The Duke of Buckingham's expression suddenly changed, and he blurted out subconsciously, "What do you mean?"

"You mean the theft of the out-of-print Victoria Cross was due to little William?"

Upon hearing this, Farri seemed a little confused and did not answer immediately.

Little William, who was only three years old, burst into tears. "It wasn't little William who did it."

"When Sister Farrell gave the medal to little William, he just thought it was very beautiful and interesting, so he treated it as a toy and played with it for a while."

"After playing, little William clearly remembered and put it back to its original place."

"But later, my great-grandfather said that the things were gone."

"It's definitely not little William who lost it!"

The Duke of Buckingham looked unhappy, "Little William, where did you go with the medal?" "I went to many places, the whole manor, and the park outside..." Little William said aggrievedly, "I really remember putting it back to its original place."

"Great Grandpa, not me."

Farri shook his head. "He played with other toys before, and there were several times when he thought he put them back where they belonged after playing with them."

"But in fact, how can children remember so many things?"

"After playing, I just throw it away and forget about it."

The Duke of Buckingham's face darkened immediately.

Indeed, little William was only three years old.

At this age, the memory is not very strong.

Before, he often lost things when he played with them.

If the out-of-print Victoria Cross was really taken out for fun by little William, it is very likely that it was lost while he was playing.

However, the Duke of Buckingham still looked at Farrell with a last glimmer of hope, "Farrell, little William said that you gave him the medal."

"Afterwards, do you remember that little William returned the medal to its original place?"

Farri shook his head and said timidly, "I was reading in my uncle's study and I accidentally saw the medal. I thought it was very beautiful, so I picked it up and took a look at it."

"Then little William saw it and started clamoring to play with it, so I just handed it to him and continued reading."

"I had forgotten all about it when little William came back again after reading till evening."

"Think carefully, did he bring back the medal?" The Duke of Buckingham seemed to be grasping at his last straw, staring at Farry and asking again.

Farri looked a little confused. After shaking his head, he simply turned his gaze to Little William, "Little William, think about it carefully."

"Were you sure you brought the medal back that day?"

After hearing what she said, little William was obviously a little unconfident, and he even paused in crying.

Seeing this, the Duke of Buckingham was basically certain that the thing was accidentally lost by his great-grandson.

He immediately looked depressed, "Little William, little William, what can you let your great grandfather say about you?"

"Normally, you could play with other things, but that is the rare Victoria Cross that my grandfather used to save his life!"

"..."

After hearing what his great-grandfather said, little William seemed to feel more and more that he was really the one who was wrong.

Tears fell from the corners of her eyes, "Yes, I'm sorry, Grandpa Zeng."

"Little William didn't mean it!"

"Little William will go find it for Great Grandpa right now..."

As he said this, he ran out of the manor.

But Ye Feng pulled him back and said, "No need to go."

"You didn't drop that thing."

When little William heard the voice, he was obviously a little confused. He looked up at Ye Feng with tears in his eyes.

"How could it not be me?"

"I took my things out to play, and then they got lost?"

"Sister Farrell said she didn't remember whether I brought her back after I took her out to play..."

Ye Feng smiled slightly and gently stroked his little head, "That's because she lied to you and everyone else."
