My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 431 - 292: Swift Breakthrough [Combined]_2

The Left Assistant Minister of the Secretariat walked behind him and couldn't help asking, "Lord Li, aren't you going to ask me about the case?"

Li Nuo said, "Whatever you want to say, just say it."

It was the first time the Assistant Minister of the Secretariat had seen someone investigate a case without asking about the specifics, but he still detailed the case to him as thoroughly as possible and emphasized the importance and sensitivity of this case to Li Nuo.

Since the incident occurred this morning, the embassy village had not allowed random access, and there were countless Imperial Guards arrayed in queue on guard around.

Li Nuo and the Left Assistant Minister of the Secretariat walked into an embassy and, upon entering, saw a body.

The doors and windows of the room were tightly closed, and there were no traces of a third person at the scene. The Second Prince of Liang died in his own bedroom and, on the surface, it seemed like suicide.

However, creating such a scene was not difficult.

A Martial Artist of the Grandmaster Realm could sneak into his room without any noise, control his body with True Qi to create the illusion of suicide, and then leave without any trace.

Liang was but a small country, and its delegation did not include a Grandmaster, only two Fourth Realm guards, while the Second Prince of Liang himself also possessed Martial Path Cultivation of the Third Realm. The Fourth Realm could not accomplish this; only a Martial Artist above Grandmaster could.

This time, the Four Great Dynasties all sent large delegations, and there were quite a few Grandmasters among them.

This presented the same problem encountered at the Four Directions Hall last time; the suspects were all important figures from other countries, and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice had no way of proceeding with an unrestricted investigation.

There were quite a few people gathered outside the embassy. When Li Nuo walked past them, the Law Code did not respond.

Officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice were still questioning people from the Liang embassy; Li Nuo entered and didn't say anything but first walked around in the crowd.

By the time he returned to the side of the Left Assistant Minister of the Secretariat, he already had an idea.

The security of the embassy village was stricter than the Imperial Palace; the likelihood of the murderer coming from outside was zero, and the possibility of escaping after committing the crime was also nearly nonexistent.

If the Second Prince of Liang's death was not a suicide, then the murderer must still be inside the embassy village.

Li Nuo had intended to have the Left Assistant Minister gather everyone, but he didn't expect the murderer to be right in this courtyard, which saved a lot of trouble.

The Left Assistant Minister of the Secretariat asked, "Lord Li, do you have any leads?"

Li Nuo nodded and said, "Indeed, the Second Prince of Liang did not commit suicide. I almost know who the murderer is."

The Left Assistant Minister of the Secretariat stood there stunned.

He knew already?

He had just asked casually, not expecting that after just walking around, without examining the body or inspecting the crime scene, Li Nuo would know who the murderer was.

How could it be so fast?

Li Nuo whispered a few words to him, and the Left Assistant Minister came to his senses, walked over to the officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice, and after a moment, they stopped their questioning and moved to the sides of the courtyard.

The only ones left in the courtyard were more than twenty envoys from Liang.

Half of them were accompanying guards.

Besides the two guard leaders who were at the Fourth Realm, the rest had only Third Realm Cultivation.

The remaining people were envoys from Liang attending the envoy conference.

All these envoys were without exception civil officials and confidants of the Second Prince of Liang.

Neither these envoys nor the guards had the capability to kill the Second Prince of Chu in such a manner, and the officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice were only conducting routine questioning earlier.

Li Nuo had them line up and first asked one of the Fourth Realm guard leaders, "Has your Second Prince offended anyone after arriving in Chang'an?"

The guard shook his head and said, "The Second Prince has yet to go out or make enemies since he moved in here."

Li Nuo asked him only one question and then turned to an elder beside him, asking, "This envoy is..."

The elder said, "I am the Minister of Revenue of Daliang, accompanying the Second Prince on this envoy mission."

During envoy conferences, countries often engage in trade cooperation, and officials from the Ministry of Revenue are nearly always part of the delegations.

To this elder, Li Nuo also had only one question, then looked toward the next person, asking, "You are..."

The person introduced himself without waiting, "I am a trusted aide of the Second Prince."

Li Nuo asked, "How old are you this year?"

The man replied, "Thirty years old."

"What level of cultivation?"

"True Qi Realm."

Outside the Liang embassy, there were many other envoys enjoying the spectacle.

The death of the Second Prince of Liang at the Daxia Embassy was not a trivial matter, warranting their close attention.

The development of the situation could very possibly affect the future situation on Daxia's southeastern border.

As for the case, the Da Xia Court investigated for a long time with no results, and now it seemed they had invited another person, who had begun questioning the Liang delegation.

The envoys from various countries were familiar with this young man.

He seemed to be an official of the Honglu Si; after they entered Chang'an, he was the one who handled their reception and arrangements.

Did the Honglu Si of Daxia also handle investigations?

Outside the embassy was a babble of conversation, while inside, Li Nuo was still asking each person in turn.

When it came to a refined man, before Li Nuo could speak, he took the initiative to say, "My official name is Dongfang Bo, Chief Historian for the Second Prince, thirty-one years old, not a Martial Artist, without cultivation."

Li Nuo asked, "Have you cultivated in the Hundred Schools?"

The man shook his head, "No."

Li Nuo said, "Okay, next."

By now, not only were the members of the Liang delegation becoming impatient, but even the officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice could not help but doubt the significance of his ordinary conversation-style questioning.
