As a pot of wine was poured, Li Yi rolled his eyes and fell asleep on the table.

Of course, this is only a deliberate pretend.

And Mu Junhe, who was beside him, secretly admired his little brother's acting skills.

When Li Yi began to fall asleep, the backyard of Jiedu Envoy's mansion was completely panicked.

"Oh no, His Royal Highness the Prince has been killed."

Xiao Hezi, who was the first to run into the room, was sitting on the ground holding Mu Fenglin's body at this time, crying and crying.

The reason why he was suffering was not because of any master-servant friendship, but because he knew that with Mu Fenglin's death, the lives of himself and his parents who were far away in Yue Country were about to come to an end.

The other servants in the courtyard also began to panic, and many of them also cried and shouted.

Soon, the servants of the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion heard Mu Fenglin's cry coming from their small courtyard.

A large number of guards of the palace surrounded the small courtyard.

Then, after inspecting Mu Fenglin's body, the steward of the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion walked quickly to the front yard.

At this time, the front yard was full of laughter, and many guests who had drunk a little too much directly sang loudly in public with wine jugs.

Of course, there is no shortage of dances when there are songs, and some of the princes of the Fan Kingdom who are close to the south directly danced to the song of the ghost crying wolf.

Although he knew that reporting the news of Mu Fenglin's killing would damage the current joyful atmosphere, the steward had to report it head-on.

The steward soon came to Jin Kai's side, at this time Jin Kai was holding a wine glass and drinking happily with the guests, his fat face was now squeezed together because of the smile, and his already small eyes directly became a thin line.

The steward leaned forward and said gentlemanly to Jin Kai's ear.

"Something happened to the city lord, and the third son of Yue was assassinated in the backyard."

When he finished speaking, Jin Kai, who was originally full of smiles, was obviously stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face was pale.

But the next second, the smile on his face bloomed again.

Then he nodded to the steward, who quietly withdrew.

After the steward left, Jin Kai continued to drink with the guests at the table with a smile on his face.

"Everyone, let's go to Xijing, let's continue to eat and drink!"

Jin Kai covered his stomach and pretended to have drunk too much, and got up and left the table.

After walking out of the front yard, Jin Kai's originally smiling face collapsed, and his originally bright smile immediately became frosty.

"What the hell is going on? Has the murderer been caught? ”

At this time, the steward who had just sent him the news was standing outside the courtyard, and behind him stood several guards of the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion.

"Returning to the city lord, just now there was a cry in the courtyard of the third son of Yue Guo, we went to check and found that the third son of Yue Guo had been pinched off his neck, and the murderer had jumped over the wall and fled before we arrived, and the guards of Yue Guo also chased out."

The steward replied cautiously with his head bowed.

"A group of rice buckets, you were able to let people break into the Jiedu Mansion to kill people, and let people run away afterwards, it's just a rice bucket"

Jin Kai directly scolded the guards of the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion with their heads and faces.

The scolded guards could only bow their heads and let Jin Kai reprimand.

The lord of the city scolded the guards of the Jiedu Envoy's mansion, and this kind of thing would not have been possible in other states.

Not to mention whether other city lords have the courage to do so, they can't bear the guilt of angering the festival envoys alone.

But Jin Kai didn't have the slightest concern, after all, as Shi Fangzheng's personal disciple, his status was no different from Shi Fangzheng's parent.

In addition, Shi Fangzheng only has two daughters in his life and both are married, so Jin Kai is basically equivalent to Shi Fangzheng's son.

In the future, Jin Kai will also be responsible for sending Shi Fangzheng to the end of his age.

"What are the characteristics of the murderer, have you notified the city guard battalion to arrest him?"

Although Jin Kai was already very angry, he had to suppress the anger in his heart first and deal with the matter first.

Two days ago, the great prince of Yue was killed, he and his master were already busy, and they have not found the black hand behind it, and they did not dare to officially inform him on the side of King Yue.

Now that the third son of the king of Haoyue has also been assassinated, if it is said that the eldest prince was assassinated in the rejuvenation medical hall because they designed to trap the prince of Zhaoguo first, and the killing is to blame.

But there is no excuse for the murder of these three sons, after all, he died in the backyard of the Jiedu Envoy's mansion.

It's all about their lack of protection.

"Someone has been sent to inform the city guard camp, and the servants of the prince of the Yue Kingdom say that the assassin is a woman, dressed in black, and moves quickly."

The steward told Jin Kai everything he had heard.

"Female assassins? Let's find out how she managed to infiltrate the Jiedu Envoy's mansion! ”

Jin Kai felt that this matter was a little weird, and he couldn't say what was weird for a while.

"Lord of the City, because of the incident at the Rejuvenation Medical Hall two days ago, we have sent more people to the Mansion of Jiedu, and we have carefully checked everyone who came to the Mansion."

The steward said a little nervously.

What do you mean by that? If you have something to say, just say it to me, and don't talk about it anymore. ”

Jin Kai heard what the steward was saying.

"Lord of the City, according to my small guess, it is very likely that this female assassin was brought into the mansion by the prince of Yue Guo himself in the first place."

The steward said cautiously while observing Jin Kai's face.

And Jin Kai's eyes are like torches, he feels that what he said is very reasonable.

"You go and interrogate the servants of the Yue Kingdom to see if they have seen this female assassin."

"Lord City Lord, there is another thing that we feel very strange, even the servants of the prince of the Yue Kingdom are still in the clouds."

The steward followed Jin Kai and said as he walked towards the courtyard where Mu Fenglin was.

"What?"

"According to the servants of the Yue Kingdom, when the female assassin was found, an unidentified man was also found."

"Oh? And this matter, did the male assassin catch it? ”

Jin Kai couldn't help but be shocked when he heard that there was another person, he didn't expect that these assassins were still committing crimes in gangs.

"I didn't catch it either."

The steward couldn't help but bow his head, and Jin Kai also turned around and stared at the guards of the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion who followed him with a fierce gaze.

"Lord of the City, this man is most likely not an assassin."

Seeing that Jin Kai seemed to be angry, the steward hurriedly spoke.

"Not an assassin? How do they judge? ”

"According to the servants of the prince of Yue Guo, they only found out that the prince of Yue Guo had been killed when they heard this man shouting to arrest the assassin, and the man was also assisting the guards of the prince of Yue to capture the fleeing female assassin at the beginning."

"In this way, this man should be a good person, right, but why do you say that those servants of the Yue Kingdom are in the clouds?"

Jin Kai asked puzzled.

"The situation of the city lord is like this, although this man warned the prince of Yue Guo to be killed, and also assisted the prince of Yue Guo to escort the female assassin, but the man disappeared afterwards."

The steward also frowned and said.

"Gone? Will this man still be able to escape? ”

Jin Kai felt that the servants of the prince of the Yue Kingdom were exaggerating.

"According to the servants of the Yue Kingdom, this man fell unsteadily on his feet when he was chasing the female assassin, and then the servants of the Yue Kingdom were busy checking on their son's situation at that time, and his guards all went to hunt down the female assassin, so no one paid attention to the man at that time, and when they reacted, the man had already disappeared."

When the steward finished speaking, Jin Kai suddenly began to groan.

At first, he thought that the man was supposed to be in league with the female Assassin, but after hearing the whole story, he realized that the man had nothing to do with the female Assassin.

It is likely that this man is a good friend of Mu Fenglin, but he can't understand why this man would leave without saying goodbye afterwards, is he afraid that the assassin will retaliate?

Jin Kai thought as he walked, and soon came to the small courtyard where Mu Fenglin was.

As soon as he entered this small courtyard, Xiao Hezi threw himself at Jin Kai's feet.

"Lord of the city, you want to avenge His Royal Highness, the prince of our family! His Royal Highness the son of my family died so miserably! ”

His cry was sharp and miserable, which made Jin Kai shiver.

Immediately, Jin Kai kicked Xiao Hezi, who was holding his calf, to the side.

"Hugh wants to get in the way, I have to check on the situation of His Royal Highness the Prince of your family, and the big matter of delaying the search for the assassin How many heads do you have enough to cut off King Yue?"

Jin Kai's words frightened Xiao Kazuko, who was still crying, to stop crying.

He suddenly stopped crying, like a chicken suddenly choked by the neck.

Jin Kai didn't care about such a little person at all, he strode into Mu Fenglin's room.

At this time, Mu Fenglin's body was being placed on his bed.

Looking at Mu Feng, whose face was already white, his eyes bulging outward, Jin Kai felt a faint pain in his brain.

At this time, he was thinking about how he should report this matter to his master, and how Anzhou should give Yue Guo a reasonable explanation.

"Tell me all the details of your family before and after his assassination."

Jin Kai said coldly to Xiao Kazuko.

Xiao Hezi was afraid of Jin Kai's prestige, so he had to talk about his own discoveries and speculations before and after the incident.

Subsequently, Jin Kai made a careful observation of the scene.

However, because too many people had entered the scene, it caused the damage that had been left by Sandalwood and Li Yi for a long time, and Jin Kai couldn't see much for a while.

At this time, Jin Kai couldn't wait to pull out all the servants of the Yue Kingdom at the scene and cut them down.

However, he could only think about this idea in his own mind, after all, these people were all from Yue, not from Anzhou.

Although the traces of the scene have been badly damaged, there are still some traces that have been preserved.

The first is the fingerprint on Mu Fenglin's neck.

When Jin Kai carefully observed the fingerprints on Mu Fenglin's neck, he noticed something unusual.

Under normal circumstances, pinching a person's neck with their hands will definitely leave a clear finger mark on the opponent's neck, because the capillary under the skin is pinched and burst.

But Mu Fenglin's neck was so purple that he couldn't even see his fingerprints clearly, which could only show that the person who killed Mu Fenglin at that time was very decisive and ruthless.

According to Jin Kai's guess, the other party must have pinched Mu Fenglin with his hands before pinching Mu Fenglin's neck, and at that time, the other party used dark energy to directly blow up a large area of capillaries on Mu Fenglin's neck.

In this way, it is completely impossible for him to see the clues from his fingerprints.

Although it was no longer feasible to see the clues from his fingerprints, Jin Kai still saw from this move that the person who assassinated Mu Fenglin was a master who knew how to use dark energy.

And the strength of the other party should be so great that Mu Fenglin didn't even have a chance to resist.

Jin Kai then continued to inspect the room closely, and after he found obvious marks of impact on one of the pillars in the room, and there were still some blood stains around the pillars.

Jin Kai judged that these bloodstains were not Mu Fenglin's based on the position where Mu Fenglin was lying on the ground that Xiao Hezi told him before.

In this case, the bloodstains in front of him are most likely the female assassin or the unknown man.

At this point, Jin Kai could basically be sure that the man and the female assassin had fought in this room before, and even one of them was injured.

Thinking of this, he immediately asked Kowako to take him to the place where the mysterious man fell in the courtyard.

Soon, accompanied by Xiao Hezi, Jin Kai came to the place where Li Yi deliberately fell before.

Once here, Jin Kai held a torch and began to carefully inspect the ground.

And Xiao Hezi and the others, who were accompanying him, didn't understand what the fat city lord in front of them was looking for, but they didn't dare to ask out loud.

Soon Jin Kai stood up, and then came to the fence of the courtyard with a torch.

When he stood in front of the wall, he noticed that there were several footprints on the wall.

Two of the footprints are relatively small, while the others are relatively large.

Jin Kai followed the small footprints and held the torch all the way up, and soon a smile appeared on his face.

"It looks like the female assassin was wounded by the man."

Jin Kai handed the torch back to Kowako and said leisurely.

"How did the lord know?"

Kowako was surprised, they didn't understand why the lord of the castle would say that the female assassin had been injured by the man.

Jin Kai didn't answer Xiao Hezi, he just glanced at Xiao Hezi coldly, and then he began to fall into deep thought again.

"How many people did you chase out this time?"

After thinking for a moment, he asked Kowako again.

Faced with the somewhat moody city lord of Anzhou Prefecture in front of him, Xiao Hezi was very afraid, so he had to inform them of the number of guards who were chasing the female assassin this time.

After hearing the number, Jin Kai snatched the torch from Xiao Hezi's hand and stood in front of the wall again, carefully observing the footprints.

"Steward Lu will go and ask if anyone left the venue early or entered halfway through the banquet just now."

Just now, Jin Kai carefully counted the footprints on the wall and found that the number was exactly the number guarded by the prince of Yue Guo, plus the number of female assassins.

So he could conclude that the unknown man had not escaped over the wall.

And now it is very likely that this unknown man is hiding in the feast for his master's birthday.
