C1 Suspect

In the office of the Wu City Palace.

"Young master, that suspicious looking man has once again appeared by the side of the house." A scholarly looking man dressed in a blue robe stood in front of the desk and respectfully reported.

His voice had just fallen when the young master, who was facing away from him through the window behind the desk, put away the folding fan in his hand and turned to look directly at him. "Order, do not make a move. Do not alert the enemy."

"Yes."

The entire population of Wu City seemed to be in a state of unease, because a terrifying murder case had occurred in the county. On the east side street, Zhu Xiucai's mother had been brutally murdered two days ago when the scoundrel had snuck into the house. More importantly, the scoundrel had not taken a single cent, but had only taken his mother's life.

The county magistrate had examined the entire Wu City, but didn't find any clues. All the suspects had an alibi.

"Have you heard? That man from Zhu Family is dead, and there's blood all over the place in his house! Sliced into a thousand pieces by someone! "Bang …" A woman said with a rather large throat in front of the wonton stall as she sat in a circle around them.

At the corner of the wonton stall, a burly man smiled at a petite man beside him and said, "Look at this group of aunts, they seem to be talking about it as if they really saw it themselves."

The petite man smirked, "Although it's a bit exaggerated, she's right. She did die from excessive bleeding from a carotid artery cut."

"You ran to the case again … "Where is it?" Wang He opened his eyes wide and stared at the pale Su Mu.

In order to avoid the soldiers who were looking for him three months ago, Wang He took Su Mu and fled the entire night. They circled around before coming to this Wu City place, which was located far away from the capital, and settled down temporarily. However, no one could have imagined that on the night that the two of them stayed here, there would be a bloody murder case.

Su Mu lowered his eyes. His slender fingers were fiddling with the porcelain spoon in his bowl as he casually said, "It's fine. No one noticed."

"It would be too late if you wait for people to notice. Your body is getting weaker and weaker, and you can't take the running anymore!" Wang He sighed heavily, but he could not bear to admonish her.

Su Mu knew that Wang He was worried about her body, but her father had taught her ever since she was young that no matter where she was, she would have to "mourn for the suffering of her people".

"I will obediently take some medicine once we return to the inn. Don't worry about it anymore." Su Mu raised his head and smiled sweetly at Wang He.

The two of them grew up together. When Wang He saw her forced smile, he couldn't help but feel pity for her.

"My lord, this official has been wronged!" Inside the Wu City Court, the head of the Wu City Order quickly kneeled down under the table and cried out to the green-robed man who was holding onto the shocking wood.

The azure-robed man was none other than the son of the Minister of Rites, Bao Fusheng, the crown prince who had been expelled from the capital by the Emperor of Da Shang Empire, who was seated on his right.

Hearing that he was being preposterous and disrespectful at the Emperor's birthday banquet, the Emperor became furious and sent him to this remote city to reflect on his actions.

Bao Fusheng slapped the wood in his hand onto the table, "You are innocent? "As a father and mother official, you have been unable to find the real culprit for more than three months. You have made the people in the city panic and you still dare to say that you are innocent?"

The county magistrate was so drunk that he did not dare make a sound, and his entire body was trembling. He did not know what kind of bad luck he had brought upon himself by bringing upon these two great buddhas. He first did not reveal his identity, and entered the main county magistrate with the order badge in his hand. Then, he mobilized all the guards and soldiers from the entire Wu City, and encircled the city gate and the Zhu Mansion respectively. If it wasn't for the news of the Crown Prince and his companion travelling like this, the County Magistrate would have thought that he'd been captured by the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain.

"My lord, this official is indeed unable to solve this case, but this official is trying his best to investigate! I hope sire can understand. "

Lin Yi who had changed into a normal young master's attire and found it hard to hide his aura, he clapped his hands and spoke majestically, "Do your best to investigate and use the thieves to escape to finish the case?" Her tone didn't carry any emotion, it was so cold that it could cause one to tremble.

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Bao Fusheng, who was standing in front of the court, threw the notice board on the city gate's entrance board below the hall the day they entered the city, "Did you see it clearly? Isn't this the notice you sent out? You should be sentenced to death for negligence. "

The county magistrate, who was kneeling down, wished that he could slap the Grand Master, who was moving quickly, to death. He clearly wanted Grand Master to wait until after this month's incident to spread the news, to tell the people that the culprit who killed Mother Zhu had craftily escaped from the Wu City, to calm the citizens and stop their investigations. In the end, he had actually posted the notice early on and was even seen by these two Rakshasi's underlings. It seemed like his little life was about to be taken away.

On the table, Bao Fusheng looked at Lin Yi and knew that the time to give him a date had come. "Now there's a chance to atone for his deeds, I don't know if you want to or not."

"Yes, yes!" The magistrate hurriedly kowtowed a few more times to show his loyalty.

Lin Yi spoke coldly once again, "Master Bao and I have come under the orders of the Emperor to investigate this case and have authorized you to help us investigate this case. During this period of time, you are not allowed to reveal even the slightest bit of our identities.

As for the magistrate, there was no doubt that this was a meat pie falling from the sky. He hastily replied that he would obey all his orders.

Lin Yi always hated these useless officials. The reason he kept his life was because he was afraid of alerting the bad guys if he took any actions. As soon as he finished interrogating, he put his hands behind his back and walked towards the backyard of the county magistrate court, ignoring everything else.

Seeing that, Bao Fusheng ordered the County Official to step back, and quickly caught up with Lin Yi.

"Why does Your Highness suddenly feel unhappy?" Bao Fusheng had been in the palace since he was young, and as Lin Yi's reading companion, he was more sensitive to his emotional changes than most people.

Lin Yi looked around at the engravings of the backyard of the county, the huge lotus pond was filled with carp swimming about wantonly, and the small Wu City Encyclopedia was actually such a luxurious garden, to the point where it could not even compare to some of the third stage experts in the capital.

"I'm thinking, if even the officials in this remote area behave in such a way, then how many officials would be greedy for manpower in this area?" As the heir to the crown prince, Lin Yi could not help but be worried.

Bao Fusheng knew that the crown prince was someone who cared about the world, "Your Highness, there is no need to worry too much.

One can never achieve great success without accumulating a small amount of achievements.

Lin Yi knew that he still had a long way to go, so he retracted his focus and turned his attention to the latest case, "How is the surveillance of that suspicious person going?"

"We found out that he had an accomplice. The two of them were staying in a small inn in the city. When one of our men went to investigate, he found out that they were staying in the same place on the night of the crime." Bao Fusheng reported.

With a wave of the fan, the white fan appeared. Lin Yi said coldly: "Continue investigating."

Wu City City was originally a beautiful remote suburb, but now a storm was brewing.
