Doted By The Regent Chapter 1524 - 1462: Existence Is Reasonable

Chapter 1524: Chapter 1462: Existence Is Reasonable

He assembled people in the study to discuss the assassination at Xiangguo Temple, but unfortunately, nothing was discovered at all.

"The other party seed to have co with a determination to die. They wore the most ordinary night clothes, and their teeth hid poison sacs. If they couldn’t escape, they would just bite down on the poison sac," said Chi Liu.

"Is there no mark on the dead soldier’s body? Hidden in a secret place, didn’t you strip the clothes? Have you checked carefully?" Wufu asked.

Ah Jiu paused while drinking water and laughed softly.

"We’ve checked inside and out. Other than a fresh burn scar on the left forearm, there’s nothing else. I suspect the burned area is ant to cover the original mark."

"This is also a clue. Follow this lead to investigate. You don’t necessarily have to investigate the dead soldier. Ordinary guards and hidden guards can also be checked, whoever has marks in such places," Wufu looked at Yuan Ye and i Er: "Both of you, investigate respectively in Nanyue and Beiyan."

Ah Jiu stroked the teacup and said, "i Er, in Nanyue, start with these families."

He ntioned a few people.

Wufu looked over: "You suspect these few?"

The people he ntioned were Prince Qi, Prince Zhou, the Fan Family, and another from Prince Wei’s Manor.

"Don’t forget, Prince Zhou and Fifth Lady Fan also appeared at Xiangguo Temple today. If it’s a coincidence, fine, but if not..." Ah Jiu’s expression turned cold, and he said, "In Nanyue, it’s these few with whom I have had conflicts, so start investigating here. If we can find soone among them, fine, if not, then look further!"

Wufu said, "Hmm, start the investigation from Xiao Huan. So what about Beiyan?"

"Beiyan..." Ah Jiu pursed his lips and said, "If we can’t find the culprit in Nanyue, I really can’t think of anyone in Beiyan who would want

dead, or what their motive would be. After all, I’ve been mostly active in Nanyue for the past two years, and it shouldn’t have bothered anyone."

"Ah Jiu, thinking like that is wrong. People’s malice is far more terrifying and irrational than you can imagine. You may think you haven’t irritated or threatened anyone’s interests, but who knows if others think the sa? Malice often arises from a single thought, a thought of Hell. Rember a saying, existence is justification. Including you all," Wufu gave a faint glance at the people present: "Don’t think it’s unreasonable, existence is justification."

Everyone felt a shiver in their hearts and said in unison: "We are taught!"

Ah Jiu gave a bitter smile: "I’m not as good as you."

"Sotis you are too kind, thinking the best of everyone!" Wufu clasped his hand.

Ah Jiu clasped her hand in return.

"Back to the main topic, this clue must be investigated. Also, search for information on Xue Dizi and the person behind Zither Kill, that’s the most crucial lead. So, find out who perford the Zither Kill!"

"Yes!"

"Miss, aren’t you waiting for the information from the one in the cellar?" Yuan Ye asked.

Wufu frowned: "The other side is so cautious, I’m afraid even if he confesses, he knows very little. We can’t rely on him entirely."

Yuan Ye thought about it and agreed.

"i Er, are all possible people gathered?" Wufu asked about the guard’s safety again.

i Er nodded.

"Chi Er, go and check if there are any people on Yi’s side we can borrow. The prince’s safety is the most important," Wufu said.

"Yes."

"Ah Jiu..." Wufu turned his head and saw Ah Jiu had fallen asleep with his head bowed, and her heart skipped a beat. She gently shook him: "Ah Jiu?"

Ah Jiu woke up, a mont of confusion in his eyes: "Did I fall asleep?"

Wufu frowned.
