"En!" Liru frowned slightly. She didn't know them, but this was the inn of the Kingdom of Li, and if they called her that, then these two must be the country's envoys or resident officials.

"It has already been half a year since the princess married into our princess. We have yet to pay our respects to the princess, I hope that you can forgive us!"

"I have something to take care of. I'm not at the general's estate." Li Ruo coldly replied. She was not good at talking, so her words were already very polite.

Her meaning was obvious. If she wasn't here, even if these people tried to look for her, they might not necessarily be able to find her.

"Seeing that the princess is well, we are relieved!" Perhaps because they had met old friends in a foreign land, the two old men talked a lot and occasionally even wiped away their tears.

"Are you guys hurt?" For a moment, Liru was unable to contain herself, so she quickly changed the topic.

"It's just a small wound, it's no longer a problem!" Hearing Li Ruo's concern, the two of them felt even more sad. They carefully looked at the little princess. She had grown a bit taller, but the hair that had originally reached her heels was no longer there. They didn't know if she had cut it because it wasn't convenient to take care of her hair or not.

They all knew that the princess had refused to marry no matter what, and had even committed suicide on the way. This was no longer a secret.

However, she had no choice but to marry. Even if the old emperor was reluctant, he could only agree. At the very least, this way, he could temporarily protect his country from leaving.

At this moment, he had probably suffered a lot. Even his temper had been sharpened.

"Since you're injured, then go back and take a good rest. It's not peaceful right now, so come out less!" After Li Ruo finished speaking, she ignored the two people behind her and continued to bend over and flip through the books.

Her eyes lit up and she stood up.

The two were somewhat astonished. Although the Little Princess was a bit spoiled before, she was still very kind to these ministers. But now, why did she become so cold and detached?

He wanted to say a few more words, but seeing that Li Ruo had already turned around and didn't want to say more, he could only withdraw.

"Princess just said that the assailant didn't commit the crime in the inn. So, your subordinate would like to ask, does Princess have any evidence?" The guard had already figured out Liruo's identity from the conversation just now, but he still felt disdain towards her. She was just an unfavoured princess, what did she know?

He was not the only one who wanted to be at loggerheads with Ruo Ruo. Rather, he was not only a guard, but he had also frequently followed Mo Shang to various crime scenes. He had already trained himself to be capable, and now that he was being refuted in front of his master, he could not help but feel embarrassed.

"See that? This, that, and those over there!" Li Ruo clapped her hands and pointed to a few pits of varying depth on the ground.

"If the attackers had planted the explosives beforehand, the pits would not be this deep. Everyone, look carefully, these pits are getting shallower and shallower from one side to the other. What does this mean? "

"This means that someone threw explosives in from outside the courtyard. After the explosives landed and bounced a few times, they gradually settled down. That's why the depth of these pits are so different! " Mo Shang continued.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Li Ru was not a simple person. This was something that he had just figured out, and Li Ruo was obviously one step ahead of him.

"That's right!" Liru nodded. Having a smart teammate to speak with was easier. This feeling was really good. "Based on the strength and direction of these explosives, the explosives used by the attackers …"

"It should have been thrown from that direction!"

"That direction!" This time, both Li Ruo and Mo Shang actually pointed to the same place at the same time. After saying that, the two of them smiled, their eyes filled with appreciation for their respective opinions.

This sort of tacit understanding was truly difficult to come by.

Xuanyuan Mo felt infuriated and suddenly felt that he was an unnecessary person.

"Let's go over and take a look!" His voice was cold, and even the temperature around him seemed to have dropped a little. If he didn't know, then who had provoked this irritating fellow?

Mo Shang coughed slightly, finding it funny. Did this piece of wood feel anything?

"Bring pen and paper and draw the footprints. Do not make any mistakes!" Li Ruo took out a small piece of kraft paper, and a piece of charcoal, and handed it to the stunned guard.

The guard hurriedly took it. Although he was still unhappy, in reality, he was already in awe of it.

He quickly took it. Although he didn't know what Li Ruo gave him, but it seemed like it was something he could write down, so he went to draw it.

"Based on my guess, this person should be around eight feet tall and muscular. His physique should be around Xuanyuan Mo's, slightly fatter than his. As for the facial contour, I still haven't decided. I have to think about it!" What Li Ruo said was based on a preliminary judgment from the depths of the pit. Nothing could be determined yet, but just these few sentences made Mo Shang feel that it was very impressive.

Mo Shang, as the head of the Ministry of Justice, usually came into contact with a lot of cases, and he had some capable people by his side who could give him some very good advice. Now that his wife, Su Lin, was here, the case was even more complicated, and it broke like a fish in water.

"Ah …" "Li Ruo!" At this moment, Su Lin had already finished her preliminary test. She took off her gloves and walked over. She was going to say a "ah, ah", but thinking that she still needed an explanation, she changed her name to "Li Ruo". Save the trouble.

"Your guess is right. Before the murder, the deceased should have been patrolling the yard. He was killed before he could dodge. There was a mark of being hit, but luckily, the power of this explosive was not strong enough to cause a corpse to explode. It was just that the fire caused by the explosion was able to burn him to death. "

"…" Explosives were a rare sight in Xuanyuan, even in the entire world. This was the first time they had ever been involved in such a case, but now that they thought about it, not only was Ruru not surprised when she saw it, but Su Lin's words were even more difficult to fathom.

Moreover, to burn someone alive to death was an answer that caused everyone to feel a chill run down their spines. The scene at that time should have been extremely terrifying, otherwise these officials would not have been so frightened that they would start trembling.

"It's not a good explosive anyway!" This dynasty was indeed too backward. The explosives should have been made with firecrackers or something like that, and not only were their workmanship rough, but their power was also much weaker. Otherwise, the three pills the attacker threw in would have resulted in countless of casualties.

"..." "Hm!" Su Lin nodded. "That's all I can tell you. I need to verify more before I can give you the answer!" Su Lin's words were directed at Liru. At this moment, she had completely forgotten that if it wasn't for the police, the case wouldn't have been handed over to her.

"Alright!" Hearing this, the two handsome men raised their eyebrows at the same time. Their actions seemed to be the same. Had they been completely ignored by these two women?

Very quickly, the guard brought the item over, passing it over his master and handing it to Li Ruo.

"Princess, you're too awesome. You're really in that position!" The guard's face was full of excitement, his voice full of pleasant surprise.

Xuanyuan Mo swept a glance at Mo Shang and finally felt better. He was obviously pointing in the direction Mo Shang was pointing, Mo Shang shook his head in amusement. This brat, he really changed his direction fast.

"En!" Compared to the excitement of the guards, Liru was too calm. She took it over and glanced at Su Lin. She then replied perfunctorily.

"The previous deduction should be correct!" Liru looked at it for a long time.

According to the scale of the footprints, the figure of the person was similar to what Ruo Ruo had said.

"Why would he do that?" Xuanyuan Mo spoke, striking straight at the crucial point.

The attacker obviously didn't mean to kill anyone, because he didn't throw it in the direction where there were many people. He didn't want to fight, so he just threw it out and it disappeared.

"…" Lirael crossed her arms over her chest and lowered her head in thought. This was her habitual way of thinking. And then, he seemed to have some thoughts. Squatting down, he picked up the wooden branch and started drawing.

She had never believed that someone would be so bored as to casually throw out a bomb. Moreover, from the reactions of Xuanyuan Mo and Mo Shang just now, it could be seen that explosives were very rare here. Someone who could obtain such an item was definitely not a simple person.

Moreover, this was a consulate, a place of great importance to all countries.

The attacker had chosen to drop the explosives here. Clearly, there was some unspeakable secret …

"Has there been any major activities in the Imperial City recently?" Li Ruo opened her mouth and spoke in a quiet voice.

"There is. Ten days from now, the ten nations' meeting will be held in the Imperial Palace …" As Xuanyuan Mo spoke, his eyes narrowed abruptly. Could it be that this matter had something to do with the friendship gathering?

"What's that?" Although he was not very clear about the system of this world since he had just arrived, hearing this name, it did sound a bit like a country's leader visiting or something!

"Hmm, just like you think!" Su Lin nodded. She did not expect that despite the passage of so many years, their mutual understanding was still the same. With just a glance, she could understand what the other party was thinking.

Just as Ruo Ruo was about to nod her head, she suddenly remembered what Su Lin had told her on the way here. There were only ten countries in this world.

"Quick, send people to guard the posts at once!" She stood up abruptly, her voice anxious.

"You are worried …" Those present were all intelligent people. They didn't need to deliberately call for names to guess the meaning behind Li Ruo's words.
