C18 Inaction

A few days later, Nangong Jue suddenly received news that Pang Yu had suddenly died at home. Hearing this, Nangong Jue immediately rushed towards the Pang Mansion. At the same time, he ordered someone to inform Mo Yunfei that something had happened within the camp.

The guard who had surrounded Pang General's Estate so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through, immediately opened up a path when he saw Nangong Jue come.

Thunder followed Nangong Jue and walked towards the room where Pang Yu's body was. As they walked, they reported to Nangong Jue about what had happened.

"My lord, the discovery of General Pang's death was made this morning when a maidservant went to serve General Pang when he woke up. When the people in this manor wanted to report this matter, they were discovered by our people. This subordinate immediately brought some people to seal this place off!

"Yes." Hearing that, Nangong Jue's footsteps sped up even more.

After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Nangong Jue finally arrived at the room where Pang Yu died.

Nangong Jue walked in through the door and looked around.

As soon as he entered, he saw a round table right in front of him. Pang Yu's corpse was lying on top of that round table with both hands around his neck. There was a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth and his expression was twisted as if he was in extreme pain.

In the middle of the round table was a teapot, and beside the teapot was a letter. On the ground, not too far away from where Pang Yu was sitting, was a broken teacup. There was even some water splashing around the teacup.

Nangong Jue stood next to Pang Yu's corpse and looked around. He didn't find any traces of a fight in the room, and he didn't find anything strange around Pang Yu's body either.

Was it really suicide? Nangong Jue frowned. His almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowed as if he was confused.

Speaking of which, they didn't show any suspicion towards him and had only sent people to spy on him. Could it be that he had sensed something? Did he commit suicide because he knew that he had been implicated and that his collusion with the Huns had been exposed?

Just when Nangong Jue was thinking about all of these possibilities, he heard hurried footsteps. He raised his head and saw a white figure pouncing towards him.

"Hey, Nangong Jue, what's going on?" Mo Yunfei aimed directly at Nangong Jue and jumped into his arms.

Nangong Jue reached out his hand to catch Mo Yunfei.

"You should examine the body first to see the cause of death." When Nangong Jue saw Mo Yunfei's breathless appearance, he immediately reached out his hand to stroke Mo Yunfei's back to ease his breathing.

Mo Yunfei was enjoying Nangong Jue's services, but when Nangong Jue told him to examine the corpse, Mo Yunfei's face immediately turned pale.

Damn it, I'm not a coroner, I'm a healer, I'm not here to help the dead find the cause of death. Mo Yunfei glared at Nangong Jue in anger and dissatisfaction: "Hey, who did you let to check the body?"

"If it was anyone else, This King would not be at ease." When Nangong Jue saw this, he immediately changed his way of speaking and said gently. Then he stroked Mo Yunfei's hair, comforting him, "Go and help him look. If it were anyone else, This King would not have been able to find the cause of death."

"Mhmm …" Hearing that, Mo Yunfei's expression eased up a bit.

After that, he walked up and began to fiddle with Pang Yu's corpse, inspecting it one by one before squatting down and inspecting the traces of water on the ground.

About half a cup of tea later, he leisurely walked to Nangong Jue, who was still deep in thought. He said, "Arsenic was poisoned. If there's no external force exerting it, he should have taken the poison himself."

"Oh?" Nangong Jue heard Mo Yunfei's voice and immediately looked up, "In that case, you really did commit suicide by taking poison."

Mo Yunfei glanced around and then said, "Since there are no traces of outsiders entering the scene and Pang Yu's body, other than the scratches on his neck caused by the poison, there are no other external injuries. That should be suicide."

"There's more, isn't there a will? When you read it, you will know the specifics. Speaking of which, could it be that it was his conscience that made him feel guilty for nearly killing my brother? " Mo Yunfei glanced indifferently at Pang Yu's corpse as he spoke.

After that, he walked over to the table, picked up the letter on the table, tore it open, and opened it. Mo Yunfei read only the contents of the letter. Originally, his eyes were filled with joy, but in the end, he frowned.

It turned out that Pang Yu had said in the letter that he was actually a spy. It was a mysterious person who found him. They said that they wanted him to help a woman and enter the army camp. After that, he could replace Mo Yunfeilong.

The reason was that he was unhappy with Mo Yunlong's decision to enter the military camp later than him, but it was above him. And he thought he was no worse than Mo Yunlong, so he was always angry.

Thus, without being aware of it for a while, he had to follow the mysterious person's instructions with greed and desire. After Mo Yunlong was poisoned, he found out that he was being followed. No matter if it was around the residence or when he was travelling, there were always people following him.

Moreover, at this time, he had already woken up from his stupor. Knowing that he had done something wrong, he left behind a letter and committed suicide by consuming poison.

There were almost no clues as to the direction of the mysterious person's description in the letter. He only said that the mysterious person was wearing a black cloak that covered his face and that his appearance could not be seen.

After Mo Yunfei finished reading, he handed the letter over to Nangong Jue. Then he called over Liu Tie and ordered him to go to the study room and retrieve some of Pang Yu's handwritten words to compare them.

"In that case, the clue will be broken." Nangong Jue read the letter in his hand. His almond-shaped eyes narrowed, and he seemed to be helpless.

Mo Yunfei walked in front of Nangong Jue and said: "If that's the case, then we can only leave it at that. Since Pang Yu is already dead, then he can be considered to have an explanation for my brother. "

Next would be the mysterious person that Retract had met with and the person behind the scenes. They would definitely uncover the identity of the mastermind. Mo Yunfei's black eyes squinted as a sharp look flashed across them.

Hmph, since Retract wanted to come to the capital, he had to make him suffer a lot. If he didn't feel that keeping him was of some use, then this time, since he was treating him, he would let him die without a trace on the way back home or on the way back.

But unfortunately, this wasn't the right time. Mo Yunfei felt a bit regretful as he thought about this.

Not long after, Thunder took Pang Yu's book and compared it with the handwriting. Nangong Jue and Mo Yunfei finally confirmed that Pang Yu committed suicide by taking poison.

As for the matter regarding Mo Yunlong being poisoned, it also drew a conclusion. However, the real boss did not have any progress.

Immediately after, Mo Yunfei's next target was Retract.
