Chapter 56: The Assassin Kills Himself
"Everyone be careful, and you can't let go of the slightest corner...... Don't let a fly fly out of the city!"
"Yes!"
Just when Li Sishen ordered the city to be closed and searched for the black-clothed assassin, Imperial Doctor Zhang came to her and told Li Sishen that Lord Zhao's detoxification and detoxification still needed her help.
Li Sishen raised his head from a pile of account books and asked him why? Since Imperial Doctor Zhang had successfully forced out the toxin, the matter of detoxification and detoxification was not a problem, but Imperial Doctor Zhang frowned and made a difficulty.
"Your Highness doesn't know that detoxification and detoxification are more laborious than forcing out toxins. Forcing out the 'Red Letter Stone' is already beyond the scope of Weichen's medical skills, and now it has to detoxify and detoxify, and there is really a lack of spare strength. I heard that Your Highness saved lives and helped the villagers in the southwest epidemic area before, and I believe that your medical skills are naturally good. ”
Seeing that Imperial Doctor Zhang was so elevating his medical skills, Li Sishen also said modestly to him.
"The younger generation is only shallow in learning, and the medical skills are axe in front of Master Zhang. ”
"Your Highness is too humble, it is already very rare to be able to go to the southwest border alone, let alone to treat the villagers there. Speaking of which, no matter how polite she is, it will only annoy Imperial Doctor Zhang, so Li Sishen promised him to detoxify and detoxify Lord Zhao. At this time, the guards around him told Li Sishen that it was not too early, and the guards ordered by the adults were ready. Seeing that Li Sishen had other things to do, Imperial Doctor Zhang also told her that he was just looking at Lord Zhao's recovery. After Li Sishen heard it, he nodded in agreement.
Imperial Doctor Zhang raised his feet and went out, and Li Sishen also followed the guard out of the house. According to the reports of the guards around them, the Assassin failed to escape last night, and they followed the Assassin's footsteps and found that the Assassin did not return to the shadows under the control of Lord Dong, but went out of the city to the outside of the city.
"You said the black-clad assassin was leaving in the direction of the suburbs?"
"Yes, sir. The suburbs are not as good as the capital, and it is not easy to catch the assassin when you go out of the city. ”
Li Sishen heard the words of the guards, and he had obviously sealed the city, but it seemed that he was still a step too late, and the assassin managed to escape.
"Send the order, gather all the guards and go out of the city with the official to search for people. ”
Li Sishen ordered the guards to immediately follow her out of the city to search for people, and after the guards got the order, a team of people followed her out of the city in unison.
"Master Supervisor, slow down! ”
"It's you...... Chu Gongzi ......"
When she left the city, Chu Boyi took the initiative to ask Ying to follow her. It was said that for the sake of safety, it was difficult for the superintendent to go out of the city with only these guards to keep her safe. This prince is entrusted by His Majesty, and it is natural for him to protect the safety of the prince. When Li Sishen heard his words, she frowned slightly, because of everyone's face and his move out of the emperor, she still acquiesced to Chu Boyi's acquiescence.
Reaching the outskirts, the guards followed the Assassin's trail to expand their search. While Li Sishen and the others were looking around, one of the Assassins reported to her that they had found the Assassin.
Li Sishen and Chu Boyi heard the guard's report and followed the direction indicated to the assassin's side.
"I thought it was a living one, but it turned out that it was out of gas...... Superintendent, how are you going to report it when you go back?"
Chu Boyi looked at the assassin who had lost his breath, and said to Li Sishen with a raised eyebrow.
"To live to see a man, to die to see a corpse. As long as it is discovered, there is always a way to bring it back. ”
"Oh, Lord Inspector is so capable, and he can also collect clues from dead people, it's amazing! No wonder Your Majesty will appoint you to take on this important task......"
Li Sishen did not continue to fight with him, and found that the assassin had committed suicide by poisoning, and the guards did not find any valuable clues on the assassin. Just as the guards were about to carry the assassin away, Li Sishen stopped the guard.
"Wait a minute, don't carry the ...... away yet"
She lifted the white cloth covering the Assassin and found a tiger mark on the Assassin's neck. That imprint was exactly the same as the one on the back of the token on Lord Zhao's hand before. Seeing this, Li Sishen narrowed his eyes slightly, even if the assassin killed herself, she couldn't find a breakthrough in him, but with the token on Lord Zhao's hand and the imprint on the assassin's body, Li Sishen was sure that this matter was inseparable from Dong Shangshu.
Li Sishen then ordered the guards to take the assassin back to the palace. It was nearly evening, and she could finally calm down after a busy day. Taking advantage of her free time, she looked through the account books that had been searched from Lord Zhao's mansion.
Chu Boyi came in from outside and found that Li Sishen was still working, so he kindly reminded him.
"Adults have a busy day, and they also have to combine work and rest. Otherwise, your body and bones will be tired, and Your Majesty will ask about this son!"
Li Sishen saw him come to the room and smiled slightly.
"Father will not punish you, Prince Chu always reminds His Royal Highness to pay attention to his body, don't be tired. If the father knew that Prince Chu could care so much about people in addition to protection, how could he be willing to punish him?"
"Hahaha, Your Highness is really getting better and better at talking, and you are about to catch up with the four princes who can speak well!"
"Huh...... It's far behind, the Fourth Emperor Brother is more powerful than me, and he used to be the one who could make Mobei Rouran bow his head!"
"Your Highness knows about Mobei Rouran's broken contract back then?"
"You know, the nature of a person who goes back on his word is difficult to change at any time. ”
"It seems that the superintendent is more transparent than me!"
At this time, Imperial Doctor Zhang knocked on the door outside and coughed lightly. Li Sishen and Chu Boyi turned around and found that Imperial Doctor Zhang was coming, and hurriedly stopped what they had just said.
Imperial Doctor Zhang came to tell Li Sishen that the poison in the assassin's suicide was also a 'red letter stone', which was the same as the poison that Lord Zhao had in the beginning. Hearing the news, Li Sishen had a voice in her heart that kept telling her, 'Lord Zhao took poison, the assassin killed someone who failed to kill himself, and the account books and keys found in Lord Zhao's mansion were ......' This scene was like a movie in her mind.
Li Sishen turned around and picked up the account book, and when she turned to the last page, the seal on the corner of the account page caught her attention------ exactly the same as the mark on the back of the token and the tiger mark on the assassin's neck! She clasped her hands together and decided to go to the Dong Mansion.
