"Humph, who dares to fra so boldly?"
The Fourth Prince felt imnsely indignant, for it was the first ti in the entire dynasty that soone had frad him.
After successfully leading the Fourth Prince into the trap, Lin Yi continued to ask.
"In our great dynasty, everyone knows your reputation, Fourth Prince. Could it be that you have unintentionally provoked soone?"
This was originally just a routine probe, an inquiry, but the Fourth Prince imdiately beca anxious.
"Humph! Even if I, the mighty Fourth Prince, provoke soone, it would be their fortune. I have been an official for many years,
and naturally, I have nurous enemies, but I cannot think of anyone bold enough to flagrantly fra ."
The Fourth Prince didn’t lie about this; after all, in the court, there were only a handful of people whose status could match his.
The Sixth Prince, also a prince, has equal power. Although they both covertly vie for the throne and compete secretly, more often, they maintain a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship. Clearly, he has no reason to fra the Fourth Prince.
Old General Mu, although holding a high position, is currently devoted solely to assisting His Majesty and places all his hopes on the heir growing in the belly of his Empress daughter. He doesn’t have the ti to fra the Fourth Prince.
As for Lin Yi, advocating justice in Nanshan City, he would rather the Fourth Prince could provide so clues, so framing him is out of the question.
The clueless Fourth Prince could only sigh. Lin Yi knew that further questioning would yield no results, so he changed the subject.
"Fourth Prince, you were almost frad just now, but thankfully, the astute and ticulous Judge Zhong dispelled the fog and vindicated you."
Saying this, Lin Yi intentionally paused, leaving the rest for the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince, understanding Lin Yi’s intentions, had no choice but to extend so courtesy to Lin Yi.
If not for Lin Yi, he might never have known that soone dared to fra him.
"It seems he is also a person of potential. In that case, I will assign a judge to him."
A re judge was insignificant to the Fourth Prince, since the officials in the Ministry of Justice of Fourth Grade and above were all his confidants.
After the Fourth Prince left, Lin Yi called Judge Zhong over.
"Congratulations, you’ve been promoted to judge." Lin Yi’s congratulations were sincere.
But Wu Shaogong, upon hearing that the little forensic doctor who stole his thunder was promoted, beca inexplicably irritated.
He deliberately knocked the official docunts onto the floor, then said arrogantly, "Judge Zhong, pick up these files and put them back in the archive room next door."
Watching such poor bullying, Lin Yi couldn’t help but sneer.
"Lord Wu, having been in the Imperial Justice Departnt for so long, still can’t distinguish whether a killer is a barbarian or not, this really disappoints the Fourth Prince."
"Judge Zhong, organize these files first; I’ll wait for you at the ruins outside the Imperial City."
Lin Yi’s words were like a pot of scalding hot oil, leaving Wu Shaogong utterly disgraced.
The scene of the cri occurred at the ruins.
Lin Yi speculated that the assassin of the little emperor might reappear at the ruins, so he discreetly installed several hidden caras around the area.
It had been more than a month since he last used the caras.
Lin Yi entrusted Judge Zhong with the task of looking into the details while he laid back in the carriage, pondering the words of the Fourth Prince.
’Could it be that the Fourth Prince truly doesn’t know who his enemies are?’
For this, Lin Yi repeated his old trick, playing the ga of notes and truths with the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince cooperated fully, honestly confessing that he didn’t know who wanted to trap him and revealed a plan to inform the Eighth Prince and take so action.
Just as Lin Yi was wondering what action the Eighth Prince would take, Judge Zhong rushed in, clearly panicked.
"Master Lin, a new discovery has been made. In the small woodland 100 ters in front of the ruins, traces of carriage wheel ruts and a piece of white satin with wiped blood were found."
I rember Ying Yi ntioned, that the escaping black-clad individual had shot the young Emperor in the back.
Logically speaking, tearing the satin to bandage a bleeding wound is completely normal.
Looking at the grass around the satin, there are clear traces of blood.
"Master Lin, judging from these footprints, the assassin has a burly build, weighing about 150 pounds, with an injury on the right foot."
Lin Yi picked up the blood-stained white satin. The silky feeling in his hand suddenly stirred a vaguely familiar sensation!
"That’s not right!"
"This satin cos from the palace!"
The pattern of these satin pieces is specially designed for the Palace Maids and eunuchs; he too had often used them in the past.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi felt a chill in his back, as he roughly guessed who that person might be.
To avoid alerting the suspect, Lin Yi deliberately acted as if it was a trivial matter.
"Judge Zhong, I forgot to tell you, this was from when I bandaged my injured knee and discarded it here, no need to make a big deal out of it. No need to investigate."
"Look, the material inside my clothes is made of this fabric."
While speaking, Lin Yi lifted his trouser leg to show Judge Zhong.
Judge Zhong was thoroughly confused, but since Master Lin said there was no need for an investigation, he could only nod in agreent.
As for the piece of white satin as evidence, Lin Yi, when no one was paying attention, pulled out a bloodstained silk thread and tucked it away closely to himself.
"Judge Zhong, go check who the Fourth Prince has recently offended, list everything out in detail for ."
In fact, Lin Yi already had an idea, but he knew that soone was watching him from behind.
Holding the bloodstained thread in his hand, Lin Yi headed straight to the General Mansion.
[Beep, beep, beep, host has successfully purchased the Blood DNA Monitoring Device, paid 2 million Heavenly Bead Coins, item dispatched to the laboratory.]
After conducting tests and extractions, Lin Yi successfully extracted DNA from the bloodstained thread; next, he needed to obtain the old eunuch’s DNA.
If Lin Yi’s guess was correct, the injured assassin was indeed the old eunuch.
The old eunuch already daring to brazenly attack the young Emperor outside the Imperial Palace was an extrely dangerous signal.
With this thought, Lin Yi imdiately picked up the walkie-talkie to contact Ying Yi.
This matter was of great importance, but currently, Lin Yi didn’t want the young Emperor to worry, so he only inford Ying Yi.
He must protect the young Emperor at all costs and be wary of the old eunuch.
But before Ying Yi could finish speaking, the young Emperor heard Ying Yi’s voice and knew that Lin Yi was calling Ying Yi.
"So, you scoundrel, just yesterday you solemnly told you’d return every evening to accompany , and now you’ve been gone all day, not even a sound from the walkie-talkie."
"Hmph, you’re just thinking about Ying Yi, completely neglecting ."
The young Emperor stayed close to his bed, feeling suffocated while reviewing docunts. He was really hoping that Lin Yi could spare so ti to talk with him.
But since Lin Yi first contacted Ying Yi, the young Emperor couldn’t help but feel a bit downhearted and resentful.
Over the walkie-talkie, Lin Yi listening to the young Emperor’s incessant chatter, suddenly realized he should have greeted the young Emperor first.
After all, she is his primary concern and is currently in the sensitive and suspicious phase of pregnancy.
