C288 Homicide

After squeezed through the crowd with much difficulty, a corpse whose face was completely covered appeared in Xie Qingrong's line of sight, and her identity was unclear.

Xie Qingrong crouched down and continuously checked the injuries on the body and the things on the body that could prove his identity, but after carefully observing for a long time, she still did not find anything suspicious.

However, the fabric on the corpse was made of high-quality silk, and the cutting work was very neat and perfect. It seemed like the corpse's family background was not ordinary.

However, this completely different face made it seem like the murderer was deliberately concealing the true identity of the corpse.

Xie Qingrong had a lot of suspicions in her heart, she stood up and was about to express them to Xuanyuan Chen.

An official dressed in official robes and wearing a black veil appeared in the crowd. It seemed like he was the Great Guardian of Mo Bei.

When Liang Qiusheng heard about the unrecognizable corpses that appeared at the lantern festival, he was so shocked that he did not even need to eat dinner. He directly brought the bailiff and coroner to the location of the corpses.

Just as he was about to instruct the yamen runners to disperse the crowd, he unexpectedly saw Prince Chen.

There was actually such a murder in his jurisdiction. If the king were to blame him, the black gauze hat on his head might not be able to protect him!

Dense fear surfaced in his eyes as he knelt down on both knees in extreme fear. With a trembling voice, he said: "This official did not know that Prince Chen had arrived.

Although the official uniform was heavy, it was unable to withstand the cold. If he were to kneel down, the snow water would easily soak his official uniform, if he were to kneel for a long time, Lord Liang's knee would probably be crippled as well.

Xuanyuan Chen held up Lord Liang, his expression cold, and said coldly: "There is no need to be so courteous, Lord Liang. This king has ordered you to uncover this case within three days, if not, Lord Liang would definitely return home in glory after being so old. "

Xuanyuan Chen's original intention was to bring Xie Qingrong out to relax, but unexpectedly, he met with many unpleasantries, which was truly terrible, and even caused his emotions to be a little low.

Naturally, he would not be courteous to this Lord Liang!

After he finished speaking, he brought Xie Qingrong out of the scene of the crime and returned to the camp.

Three days later, Lord Liang personally brought the results of the case to the army camp to seek an audience with Xuanyuan Chen.

Xuanyuan Chen was currently in the tent looking at the message Shen Haoxuan had sent him from a thousand kilometers away. Seeing that Lord Liang had entered the tent, he did not have much of a reaction, and his expression was cold.

Lord Liang was also unsure of Xuanyuan Chen's mentality.

Trembling on the ground, he knelt down and reported, "Your Highness, we have already found out the identity of the deceased, it is Wu Huan's man. The cause of death was a fatal wound in the abdomen, which caused him to bleed to death. As for who the murderer is, this official has yet to find out. "

Xie Qingrong sat at the side, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand. The jade-like spring's fragrant aroma slowly stained the entire camp, making him feel refreshed after smelling it.

He took a shallow sip and instantly savored the fragrance with his teeth.

He said slowly, "Is the identity of the deceased confirmed?"

"I'm sure!" This official shall guarantee it with her life. " Lord Liang endured the fear in her heart towards Xuanyuan Chen, and confirmed.

"Yes." Xuanyuan Chen responded indifferently. He put down the letter in his hand and said to the Lord Liang kneeling below him, "This king already knows about this matter. However, Lord Liang still wants to continue to investigate this matter. If there is nothing else, Lord Liang can take his leave. "

When Lord Liang knew that he could leave, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly left the camp. Prince Chen's aura was simply too scary.

"A Rong, what do you think about this matter?" Xuanyuan Chen pointed to his chin, smiling as he watched Xie Qingrong drink her tea.

Xie Qingrong squinted her eyes as she enjoyed the hot tea in her hand, like a successful cat stealing food, the pores all over her body opened up in delight.

Hearing Xuanyuan Chen's question, Xie Qingrong placed the teacup in her hand to the side, and laughed: "If the identity card of the victim is actually Wu Huan's, then we don't have to do anything else, Wu Huan will definitely send someone over to demand an explanation from us first, after all, this trap was dug for us by the victim."

"It's just that …" Saying that, Xie Qingrong raised her delicate eyebrows with ill intentions, "Since they dared to set this trap, then they must be prepared to let us take the lead."

"A Rong is still that smart." Xuanyuan Chen praised, agreeing with Xie Qingrong's words. The lights in the Mo Bei had always been on for the whole time. From the moment he first laid eyes on the corpse, he understood that this was a trap, and a trap that was so clumsy.

Xie Qingrong couldn't deny Xuanyuan Chen's praise. Narrowing his eyes, a glint of light flashed past his eyes, as if she had suddenly thought of something. She said: "Wu Huan wants to borrow this matter to attack the Mo Bei. After all, it is our fault that their people died in our territory.

Regardless if he found evidence or not, Wu Huan would never agree with such evidence. Your highness, we need to be prepared to welcome Wu Huan's attack on the Mo Bei at any time. "

"Yes." Xuanyuan Chen replied softly, "This king will pass down this matter."

Sure enough, within a few days, the Lord Liang still did not find the real culprit, not even the weapon to kill the dead.

Wu Huan had not seen any movements from the Mo Bei for a long time, as though he did not care about how shocking it was for one person to die on their territory. The upper echelons of Wu Huan could no longer sit still, and sent an envoy over to negotiate with the Mo Bei.

After the envoy waited at the Lord Liang's residence for a while, he finally saw Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong, who were wrapped in a heavy overcoat, slowly walking over.

Immediately, the envoy's disdain and disdain towards the Mo Bei intensified.

After all, he was someone that Wu Huan had sent to negotiate with them, and yet he neglected them so much. Later on, he would let them have a good look at him and look down on his fate.

The carbon fire in the hall dispelled the cold air brought by the ice cover. Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong stayed in the hall for a while, then felt that their bodies had warmed up, and that the blood in their bodies had started to flow again.

Only then did he take off his coat and hand it over to the servants of Lord Liang's residence for safekeeping.

Seeing Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong acting as if no one was around, the envoy became even more furious.

Twisting his brows, he opened his mouth to break the tense and awkward atmosphere in the hall: "Lord Liang, did you really have to wait for these two rude customers just now? I am truly surprised by your country's etiquette. "

Hearing the envoy's words, cold sweat started to form on Lord Liang's forehead. There was clearly such a strong fire burning inside the house, but why did he feel that it was even colder than before?

Coughing lightly, he introduced the two to the envoy: "Emissary, this is Heavenly Sage Kingdom, the one beside is Princess Consort Chen."
