Chapter 369: Reporting Back To Instructor i Lan!
Despite the surveillance of several Nascent Soul Stage Elders of Immortal Sword Sect, the serial killer could still do sothing cruel like this under their noses.
At first, all of the Imperial Family mbers still fully trusted the protection from the several Nascent Soul Stage Elders and quite sure that the serial killer would never dare make a move here in Imperial Garden.
But right now, all of the Imperial Family mbers completely lost their trust in the protection from the several Nascent Soul Stage Elders, and they already have their own plans to do.
Both the Emperor of Feng Empire and Elder Yang has a really great headache right now when facing the complaint from all the Imperial Family mbers.
The family mbers of the dead concubines such as princes and princesses insisted the Emperor and Elder Yang do the total investigation to find the culprit of serial murder and executed the culprit as soon as possible.
anwhile, the Imperial Family mbers that did not have any connection with the dead concubines wanted to protect their own life and family, so they want the Emperor and Elder Yang to just let them get out from Tang Feng City as soon as possible and escape as far as they could from here.
All of them were debating about what to do next so fiercely in a big hall inside Imperial Garden until the dawn has arrived.
The Emperor and Elder Yang decided to adjourn the eting and rest for a few hours to let all the people here cald down a bit.
Actually, Tang Li Xue also has a great headache right now though she did not even attend the eting with Elder Yang.
'Sigh... How the hell the serial killer even did it under our noses like that? At first, I thought Crown Prince Feng is actually the serial killer. But last night,
and Ye Zhen chatted with him for almost an entire night in his room, so I am pretty sure he could not commit that murders.' Tang Li Xue grimaced as she rubbed her forehead while kept thinking.
'It seems it is impossible for us to find the serial killer on our own. Even that Elder Yang is facing so much difficulty to track her right now. Should I try to contact Instructor Lan with my Communication Talisman now? If I reported all the information we find to her, Instructor Lan could probably think of sothing that we miss and we can ask for further instruction from her.' Tang Li Xue's perfect copy asked.
Different from Tang Li Xue that left everything behind when she escaped from the detention room with the help of Instructor i Lan and the others, her perfect copy still has her own space pouch contained many kinds of talisman inside it.
It was the lesson Tang Li Xue got in Quanhai City when her perfect copy faced the skull masked man without any talisman to assist or heal her.
After that incident, Tang Li Xue gave a space pouch to her perfect copy that contained several mid-tier spirit stones and many kinds of talisman inside it.
It seed her arrangent finally paid off right now, and her perfect copy could use the Communication Talisman in her space pouch to contact Instructor i Lan.
'All right, you can contact Instructor Lan right now. You just need to tell her all of the information we got, but you do not need to tell Instructor Lan about my wrong blind guess to Crown Prince Feng… Since it really is embarrassing for …' Tang Li Xue told her perfect copy.
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy told Elder Yang that she wants to go to the toilet. Then she was secretly looking for a secluded place before taking out the Communication Talisman and using it to contact Instructor i Lan.
Inside her room, Instructor i Lan, Bing Yi, and Hei Yinghao were still being watched closely by many Imperial Guards.
So of them already have so suspicion of Tang Li Xue's ice statue, and one of them even already reported it to the Imperial Guard's captain.
But sothing more urgent suddenly happened when several concubines were found dead, and the Imperial Guard's captain did not have any more ti to pay his attention to Instructor i Lan and the others.
anwhile, the Imperial Guards there did not dare to make any move without their captain's order.
Actually, the Imperial Guards did not have any more reason to detain Instructor i Lan and the others since the serial murder still happened even after Instructor i Lan and the others got detained like this.
However, the situation in Imperial Palace beca too chaotic right now, so no one rembered to lift the detention order for Instructor i Lan and the others.
Instructor i Lan who still closed her eyes lazily to rest, suddenly opened her eyes when the Communication Talisman that she stuffed in the clothes on her chest vibrated.
Instructor i Lan secretly took the Communication Talisman from her chest while pretending to fix her clothes and put the Communication Talisman in her black hood when she was pretending to pull the hood to cover her face more.
"Instructor Lan… sothing big had already happened." Tang Li Xue's perfect copy said to Instructor i Lan through the Communication talisman.
"Tell
everything you find and what happened clearly, including any clues you manage to find. Be sure to not miss anything." Instructor i Lan replied with a soft voice.
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy started to tell every information she managed to find from Elder Yang and her own finding to Instructor i Lan, including the massacre of several concubines in Imperial Garden.
Instructor i Lan chuckled softly after she heard everything from Tang Li Xue's perfect copy and murmured: "Just like before, she still likes to play with everyone's mind. Her way to stir everyone's feeling according to her will is still as terrifying as ever."
"Play with everyone's mind? Stir everyone's feeling?" Tang Li Xue's perfect copy asked in confusion.
"It was clear from what she was doing to those concubines' dead bodies. She wants to make everyone's there feel restless in fear and panic. She wants them to quarrel with each other. Right now, all the people there must feel like several living fishes in the boiling pot. If they jumped out from the boiling pot, they would die. But if they kept staying in the boiling pot, they would die too." Instructor i Lan explained.
"I really do not understand it. Why she did not just kill all of her targets at once and just escape quickly from here?" Tang Li Xue's perfect copy asked again.
Instructor i Lan rolled her eyes and replied with a lazy tone: "Because her targets are still heavily guarded by soone powerful."
"I dare to bet right now that Elder Yang does not have so many Nascent Soul Stage Elders with him, at least, three or four… One for guarding the Emperor, one for guarding the Empress, one for guarding himself, and the last one is patrolling around in secret to find the culprit of serial murder." Instructor i Lan started to explain again.
"The serial killer's target must be the Emperor and the Empress, but they are being guarded by Nascent Soul Stage Elders, so she clearly could not attack them right now. She did not have any other choice than to stir the situation around like this in order to force all of the Nascent Soul Stage Elders to make their move to find and catch her. While she will use that opportunity to strike the Emperor and the Empress, then killed them in one sweep." Instructor i Lan concluded her explanation.
"But I still do not understand it… why does she need to do sothing so troubleso like this if she really is a Spirit rank beast? She can just swiftly attack head-on to kill the Emperor and Empress, then quickly escape from there, right?" Tang Li Xue's perfect copy asked again in puzzlent.
"Not bad! You really have improved a lot since you already can think that far. I have a few speculations about that, but I only sure about thirty to forty percent about it. Let's forget it for now because we can only blindly guess it for now without any further evidence or clue." Instructor i Lan said as she shook her head.
"Let's talk about your guess for now… You already observe so many people out there, right? So, you must have soone you suspect, right? Tell
more clearly about it." This ti, it was Instructor i Lan's turn to ask Tang Li Xue's perfect copy.
"Aaahhh?! Soone I suspect?! I… I have no…" Tang Li Xue's perfect copy started to stutter.
"Co on, do not lie to . I know from your reaction that you have soone you suspect." Instructor i Lan said while chuckled.
"I… all right. I suspect the Crown Prince Feng before, but yesterday night, I and several core disciples spent our ti to chat with him, so he definitely is not the killer of those concubines." Tang Li Xue's perfect copy explained in embarrassnt.
"Too na?ve! If you are suspecting soone, then you must never let your guard down just because he has a perfect alibi that night. On the contrary, you must do your best to confirm if he is really the culprit or not." Instructor i Lan rebuked Tang Li Xue's perfect copy.
"I… I am sorry! But, what should I do to do that?" Tang Li Xue's perfect copy asked.
"Listen, the Emperor would definitely hold a lavish banquet tonight to calm down the people there…" Instructor i Lan replied.
"Wait a minute… Instructor Lan, how could you know that the Emperor would hold a lavish banquet tonight?" Tang Li Xue's perfect copy suddenly asked again curiously.
Instructor i Lan's lips twitched as she thought: 'Little Xue has certainly beco smarter than before, but her habit to ask the stupid question from ti to ti still remains unchanged.'
"Just think about it… the situation there is almost uncontrollable, and all the people were very restless, so the Emperor would definitely need to do sothing to calm down the people there. I want you to use the chance in that banquet to seduce that Crown Prince Feng and check if he really is the culprit or not." Instructor i Lan told Tang Li Xue's perfect copy about what she needs to do.
"Wha… WHAT?! I must seduce that Crown Prince Feng in that banquet?! Instructor Lan, you must be joking, right?" Tang Li Xue's perfect copy raised her voice in shock and disbelief.
"Why not?! We already know the serial killer is a woman, so she will not be able to sleep with you if Crown Prince Feng is really the culprit." Instructor i Lan said again.
"But what if Crown Prince Feng is not the culprit in disguise, but really the real Crown Prince Feng?!" Tang Li Xue's perfect copy asked back.
"Then you just have to knock him out until morning cos and pretend as if you already slept with him. Easy, right? Don't tell
that you cannot even win against a weak pampered prince like him." Instructor i Lan replied with a nonchalant tone.
