Chapter 182: Leaving No Trace

Luo Feng also didn't believe that a little girl could kill the general of the auxiliary country.

"Let's go check the corpse first!" Luo Feng said and went straight to the general's bedroom with Gu Xiaodong.

The general's body has already been disposed of. The wound on his left chest was already tangled in sackcloth.

"We're going to take a look at his wounds!" Luo Feng said to a guard who was guarding next to the corpse.

"Who are you?" A man of about forty years old walked in the door. His eyes were red, and he was clearly crying.

"Are you ......," Luo Feng asked softly.

"I'm his younger brother, Jiang Xinhan!" Jiang Xinhan glanced sadly at his brother, who had been dead for a long time on the bed.

Last night they were drinking together, and today they are separated by yin and yang. The grief in his heart can be imagined.

"I am the patrol battalion supervisor of the Queen of Heaven Imperial Seal, assisting Lord Mu in handling the case." Luo Feng revealed his identity.

"Please!" Jiang Xinhan motioned for the guards to let Luo Feng and the others check his brother's body.

"This wound is very deep, which shows that the strength of the perpetrator is very great! Where was the general before he died? Luo Feng covered the wound with a sackcloth and turned to look at Jiang Xinhan.

"On a chair by the window table." Jiang Xinhan closed his eyes. He didn't want to think about the scene when he saw his brother's tragic death, but it was as if it was engraved in his mind.

"Are there any signs of a fight?" Luo Feng asked.

The teacup shattered at his feet. Tea soaked the placket. Jiang Xinhan's hand held the table, and his voice was low and soaked with sadness.

"The murderer suddenly appeared and killed with one sword!" The assassination scene appeared in Luo Feng's mind.

Luo Feng and Gu Xiaodong then asked the general about the time of his death, and then walked to the mansion gate.

Master Mu and Lu Nan have been standing outside the door and have never left. They heard footsteps and looked back at Luo Feng and Gu Xiaodong.

"This servant girl is not a murderer!" Luo Feng glanced at the maidservant who was being escorted.

"I know! But since she confessed to killing, there must be a hidden secret. So please ask Lu Shaoyin to interrogate it well! Master Mu looked at Lu Nan.

"It's a matter of duty! Leave! Lu Nan took his men and carried the servant girl away.

"Judging from the time of the general's death, the murderer is most likely the person who followed us to Mrs. Xu's mansion last night. He can follow us for so long without being detected, he must be a very skilled person. The time of the general's death coincided with the distance between the two provinces, and the time of our departure. Luo Feng's eyes flashed with wisdom.

"What's the use of even him? We haven't even seen a shadow of anyone else! Gu Xiaodong pouted.

"But the murderer's murder weapon is still there, is it?" Luo Feng looked at Master Mu.

"The murder weapon was gone before we arrived at Jiang's Mansion!" Master Mu looked up at the sky.

"Gotcha! No clues were left! Gu Xiaodong pinched his waist and lowered his head and rubbed his feet against the ground.

"If my judgment is correct, then these two cases must be connected!" Luo Feng is sure to be authentic.

"Those who died were all close ministers of the crown prince!" Master Mu turned his head meaningfully to look at Luo Feng.

"Han Zixin?" Luo Feng's brows furrowed.

"I didn't find it, but he left a piece of paper on his bookcase! I put the paper in the water to see the handwriting on it, and there were only four words on it: Blame the blame! ”

"The suspicion of staying in the king has been lifted! But there is still no trace of the real murderer behind it. Master Mu sighed and walked down the steps.

"Can you tell us about the people you suspect in the court, so that we can investigate the case!" Luo Feng finally said the doubts that had been held in his heart for a long time.

"Da Sikong Zhuang Shi, Zhongshu Ling Xu Baoming!" After speaking, Master Mu threw up his sleeves and left.

"It's all high-ranking officials! We can't afford to mess with us! Gu Xiaodong teased.

"When is this coming, and I still have the heart to laugh!" Luo Feng also walked down the steps and walked home. Gu Xiaodong hurriedly followed Luo Feng's footsteps.

When they returned to their residence, Nie Yang had already prepared a meal. Are you waiting for them?

At the dinner table, everyone just ate quietly, and no one said a word.

The cat didn't eat much, so he went back to the house when he had finished eating. Yun Langzhong also ate hastily and went into the house to accompany the cat.

Only then did Luo Feng tell the story of today's investigation. An Shouqin listened, and his face became ugly.

Seeing this, Gu Xiaodong comforted An Shouqin and said: "The dead are all princelings!" You don't have to panic! ”

"I didn't expect that Mei's power is so huge, they dare to openly commit murder at the feet of the Son of Heaven!" An Shouqin put down his chopsticks and stopped eating.

In the evening, the cats sit on the roof and drink. Luo Feng asked Qi Yan to rest first, and then he also went up to the roof and sat beside Gu Xiaodong.

"Look! That star is the brightest! Gu Xiaodong put down the flask and pointed to the North Star.

"That's the North Star! Do you want to go home? Luo Feng's words made Gu Xiaodong, who was still full of interest just now, change his face in an instant. He picked up the flask and poured two more sips of wine, then rubbed the back of his hand against his mouth.

"Shall we send the cat home?" Luo Feng said what was in his heart. Luo Feng knew deeply that only by relieving their worries could they compete head-on with Mei without any scruples.

"I'm afraid the charm will intercept us on the way. In that case, wouldn't the cat ......" Gu Xiaodong tilted his neck and drank the remaining wine in the wine jug.

"Their purpose is the Prince! The diva's illness is getting worse and worse. Someone covets the throne, so they are in a hurry to bring down the crown prince! They want us to leave the capital! Luo Feng hugged Gu Xiaodong's shoulder.

"You know that's the case, and you're leaving?" Gu Xiaodong turned his head to look at Luo Feng's dark eyes and asked.

"If you want the person behind it to come into existence as soon as possible, you must create more opportunities for him!" Luo Feng whispered in Gu Xiaodong's ear.

"Good! We'll leave tomorrow! Gu Xiaodong picked up the wine jug, and then he jumped off the roof with Luo Feng and went back to the house to rest.

In the early morning, the temperature plummets. Yun Langzhong did not agree with the cat's long journey. He was worried that if something happened on the way, the cat's life would be in danger.

"Please also ask Yun Langzhong to accompany you!" Luo Feng bowed and saluted.

"Why do you have to let him go back to Lingzhou?" Yun Langzhong frowned and looked at Luo Feng.

"If he doesn't leave, he will die in the capital!" Luo Feng's eyes were gloomy.

"Xiaodong told me! I'll go back to Lingzhou to recuperate! The cat and Gu Xiaodong walked out of the house together.

Luo Feng and Qi Yan rode forward. Gu Xiaodong drove Yun Langzhong and the cat to follow them. He drove the carriage smoothly, and the cat's heart was moved. He knew that Gu Xiaodong was a quick temper, and he had always been in a hurry. This time, he changed his personality for himself.

Luo Feng and his entourage walked for more than ten days before arriving in Lingzhou. Luo Feng asked the cat to go to live in Guan Ju of Shangqing Palace. The cat said he would go home first and talk to his father. Everyone then drove the carriage to the cat's house.

The cat's father was very happy to see his son back. The cat gave his father a big salute. His father went up to pick up the cat.

Gu Xiaodong was afraid that the cat's father would touch the wound on the cat's left arm, so he pushed him away. The cat's father took two steps back and was stunned.

Luo Feng stepped forward to explain. Only then did the cat's father know that his son almost died.

The cat said that he was going to Guan Ju in the Shangqing Palace to recuperate from his injuries. The cat's father knew that Guan Ju's medical skills were good, so he asked people to prepare silver taels. He wanted to go to Guan Ju in person and beg him to heal his son's wounds.
