Chapter 404: Case solved
After Ling Yuanlong finished speaking, he revealed the evil blood energy wrapped in spiritual power.
It is indeed the logo of that OP, the evidence is solid.
Everyone was shocked by the murderer's meticulous mind and Ling Yuanlong's sharp intelligence.
The hall felt like an ice cellar.
"Wow, it was really Ling Yuanhan who did it?" Xing Jun touched his chin and observed the blood.
"The old emperor has become more and more incompetent as he gets older. In recent years, the orders to punish Ling Yuanhan have become more and more frequent, and he has also been targeted in the court. If it weren't for the support of the academy's clean stream, he would have been eliminated by Ling Yuanlong long ago. It is reasonable for him to kill for the throne in revenge."
"The means are also concealed. If it weren't for Ling Yuanlong, who would have thought that there are clues to the murderer hidden behind a corpse!"
The more Xingjun thought about it, the smoother it became.
"The case has been solved. The reason why the murderer was able to evade capture must be because the Seventeenth Prince was the traitor who coordinated with the outside world!"
Zhu Jiu glanced at Ling Yuanhan's drastically changed expression and did not comment.
"Look again."
At the same time, the princess's close ministers were heartbroken and disgusted.
"Seventeenth Prince! The late emperor was both the king and the father. To plot treason and murder the king is the greatest treason!"
"The death of the previous emperor was actually caused by his own son. The Seventeenth Prince has evil ambitions. He should be stripped of his status as a prince, his cultivation abolished, and sent to the Criminal Department!"
The incident happened so suddenly that the brains of the Seventeenth Prince's supporters were temporarily in a state of paralysis.
They wanted to wash it, but how to wash it for regicide? The evidence was solid, and Mo Huaizun, the notary, was still at the scene. How could they wash it with their heads?
Even they themselves were shocked but not surprised by Ling Yuanhan's assassination of the old emperor.
Which son wouldn’t hate being treated like a dog by the old emperor all day long?
However, having said that, Ling Yuanhan is the prince they support after all. At this juncture, they still need to have a little hope of a Jedi counterattack before severing ties with him.
So in the scene where half were cursing and the other half were silent, everyone looked at Ling Yuanhan.
Ling Yuanlong was very emotional, filled with grief for the loss of his father. He held Qiu Sheng's hand and shouted angrily.
"The evidence is out in the open. The Seventeenth Prince is a traitor and is willing to do anything to secure the throne. Come, immediately abolish your cultivation and send him to the Criminal Court to await execution!"
With the angry response from the ministers, the situation became one-sided and the verdict was set in stone.
The commander of the imperial army stepped forward solemnly, and was about to take down Ling Yuanhan, who had a grim look on his face.
"Wait." Chu Yi glanced at everyone, "Why are you in such a hurry? The criminal also has the right to refute."
"Does the Seventeenth Prince have anything to say?"
"If you don't say something, you're going to go to jail or be executed?"
The imperial army looked at Ling Yuanlong, who was frowning slightly, and hesitated.
Ling Yuanlong was about to say something when Chu Yi suddenly turned around and looked at her.
"It's just a last word. Is this not allowed in Jiling?"
They could all tell from the last sentence that they were carrying out a sinister law. Ling Yuanlong's eyes were solemn, "Seventeenth brother is cunning, I'm just afraid that Jue Ya and the others will be misled."
"Thank you then."
Chu Yi thanked him in a very cold tone, turned to look at Ling Yuanhan, with his hands in his pockets, looking calm and at ease.
"Hurry up and speak, Prince Seventeen. Everyone is waiting."
He was just watching the show. For a prince of an enemy country, the Ji Ling incident was good news, really great news.
He said this now because he wanted to see the joke of Ling Yuanhan's incompetence and rage.
What a bastard, he has made his sister Chu Ge become mentally retarded.
With just two sentences, Chu Yi managed to divide half of Ling Yuanhan's hatred from Ling Yuanlong, and made the former clench his fists in anger.
It can be seen that Chu Yi is extremely worthy of a beating.
Ling Yuanhan glared at him. Apart from his loss of composure when he was first accused, he quickly calmed down and tried to excuse himself.
"The disbanding of the Bloody Tower was carried out under the supervision of the Imperial Sister. I no longer have an employment relationship with the tower owner and no longer have any connection with him. How can you conclude that it was me who ordered it just by looking at a trace of blood?"
"I don't recognize it."
The close ministers saw that he looked determined and undecided, but they also found a way to defend themselves.
"Indeed, there are only traces of the host. How can we conclude that it was the Seventeenth Prince who ordered it?"
Ling Yuanlong sneered, "Who would know about your private contact? You used to have a close relationship. The owner of the building was blinded by money and would do anything for the spirit stones. You have been dissatisfied with your father for a long time, so it is normal for you to use her to kill the king!"
She sighed deeply, "There is something that I didn't want to say for the sake of the royal dignity, but now that suspicion has arisen, I have no choice but to make it public."
Everyone pricked up their ears.
Ling Yuanlong's gaze fell on the imperial guards who were in charge of the entry and exit of people in the palace.
The man shuddered and lowered his head and said, "The seventeenth prince came to Changle Palace at midnight last night and left two quarters of an hour later. He smelled of blood."
Everyone's expression became gloomy.
This cannot prove that the old emperor was killed by the seventeenth prince, because the former died at the hour of Yin.
But there was a rumor that was confirmed that the old emperor abused the seventeenth prince.
It must be that the Seventeenth Prince was bullied and felt resentful, so he asked the dancer who came in later to perform to kill the old emperor.
Ling Yuanlong added.
"Speaking of the 'Night of Returning Souls', there are very few people in the Nine Netherworld who can master this spell. There just happened to be such a person in the Bloody Tower back then."
It must be said that the seventeenth prince is also a chosen one, and he has special skills even though he secretly built a building of assassins.
All signs indicate that he is the rebellious son who killed his father.
"Seventeenth brother, father treats you badly, so you are right to blame him, but you must never forget the kindness he showed in raising you. How could you kill him?"
Ling Yuanlong was grief-stricken but tried to remain calm.
Everyone glared at Ling Yuanhan.
Everyone suspected him, but he was the most suspicious.
Ling Yuanhan stared at Ling Yuanlong and smiled sinisterly like a gloomy villain with a cold tone.
"Interesting, you all know that the old emperor was killed by the host, but none of you are curious about where the host is now, or whether he is with me."
"If everyone knew, would they still doubt me like this?"
"What do you mean by this?"
This question was asked by Mo Huaizun, who had been silent the whole time. The previous argument did not attract much of his attention.
Ling Yuanlong's expression changed slightly.
"My sister is so anxious because... you know that the owner of this building is Bu Gong Qiu Sheng who is beside you?"
Ling Yuanhan said this with a fake smile.
Everyone: "!!!"
Ling Yuanhan's expression turned fierce, and he suddenly drew his sword and slashed at Qiu Sheng, who was standing beside him with his head lowered and his eyes looking pleasant.
The raging spiritual power and sword energy caused the entire hall to go wild.
The sword was placed above Qiu Sheng’s head and chopped down.
Qiu Sheng raised his dark eyes and looked over. The man was like strange black water, which melted and condensed again without being hurt at all.
As the moves came and went, it was clear that Qiu Sheng was the owner of the WordPress.
Everyone's cerebellum shrank a little.
Gu Yixiao was stunned.
What? The capable lady-in-waiting who had been so polite and gentle to him these past two days was the bloody master of the building who killed people without leaving any trace?
What is it about her that attracts wanted criminals?
As soon as he came out, he was surrounded by heavyweights like Zhu Jiu and Qiu Sheng.
So the question is, why is Qiu Sheng, who killed the old emperor, by the side of the princess?
Ling Yuanhan's eyes were filled with surprise. Opportunity! An opportunity to bring down the princess!
However, the latter reacted quickly and pointed at Qiu Sheng in fear.
"You damn wanted criminal actually sneaked into the Princess's residence. Tell me, who arranged for you to get close to me?"
He looked as if he had no idea.
Stripped of his original disguised personality and identity, Qiu Sheng himself is like a silent pool of black water, dead and silent.
She replied, "The seventeenth prince."
Everyone: "..."
It’s so casual, there’s no need for even torture.
"Chief Jueya is here today, and you still dare to frame him when the disaster is imminent!" Ling Yuanhan's close minister immediately retorted.
"You mean my instructions?" Ling Yuan's eyes were gloomy.
"I dare not, but the murderer is the princess's right-hand man, which is really suspicious."
Both sides were arguing with each other, throwing dirty water at each other.
Mo Huaizun ignored the chill on Zhu Jiu's neck and asked Qiu Sheng directly, "Did you kill the old emperor?"
Everyone was silent and looked at Qiu Sheng.
Is there any need to ask? Bao was the one who killed him.
She said, "No."
Everyone frowned, thinking she was lying. Mo Huaizun continued to ask expressionlessly, "Did you kill Mang Yao?"
"Ah."
What the hell, he killed Mang Yue but didn’t kill the old emperor?
Impossible, everyone knows that the old emperor was killed by a disguised dancer!
Xingjun didn't understand for a moment, and Zhu Jiu explained: "If what Qiu Sheng said is true, then the person who really pretended to be the dead Mang Yue and killed the old emperor is... someone else."
Having said that, there is a very crucial question.
"Who hired her to kill Mang Yue?"
"Who hired you to kill Mang Yue?"
Two voices came out of Zhu Jiu and Mo Huaizun's mouths one after another.
To the Star God's ears, one sound was light and the other was deep, unexpectedly harmonious.
The atmosphere was tense. Qiu Sheng moved his eyes, and in the midst of fear and trepidation, his gaze fixed on one person.
That person is... Ling Yuanlong!!!
"Seventeenth Prince." She turned her eyes away and looked at Ling Yuanhan.
Everyone: "..."
Her body language was a lie, and it made a group of old officials suffer from heart failure.
Mo Huaizun remained calm: "If you are the seventeenth prince, why are you by the side of the princess?"
"Because the Seventeenth Prince spent 10 million high-quality spirit stones to hire me to lurk in the Princess's Mansion."
Qiu Sheng always answers whatever you ask, and can be called the most honest killer in history.
"Unfortunately, the princess paid close attention to me and promoted me to become her confidant."
Ling Yuanhan: “…”
Everyone: "..."
Why don't you keep it a secret? Is this a glorious thing?
At this point someone asked, “Why are you speaking so bluntly?”
Qiu Sheng looked at Mo Huai Zun and said, "Killing someone is one result, not killing someone is another result. Killers don't take on the responsibility of keeping secrets."
What she meant was that, even though the incident had become such a big deal and all the big guys in Jueya were there, and she didn't kill the old emperor, she was very calm about it.
Everyone looked at Ling Yuanhan with sympathy as his face turned dark. How pitiful! The undercover agent they sent was a ruthless person who was afraid of death and would confess anything as soon as he was told to.
At Chu Yi's request, Qiu Sheng recounted the entire process of the crime.
It’s very simple, just one sentence.
At Chou time in the night, he received a message from the seventeenth prince, asking him to go to Shanglesi and kill Mang Yue.
"Didn't he ask you to pretend to be Mang Yue and kill the old emperor?"
"I gave in, but after evaluation I felt the risk was high and the chance of success was low, so I didn't go."
"..."
Killers can assess risks and act according to circumstances, but some people are not able to do so when they are in love.
