Chapter 148 The Key to the Murder Case
At this time, Shen Nanfeng's face looked extremely ugly. He really couldn't understand why the eighth princess Dugu Ying was killed.

Even though Her Royal Highness the Princess is the most arrogant and rude, most people will not take her seriously because of her status.

Assassinating the princess of the dynasty was a serious crime against the nine clans.

This is not the original plot.

But speaking of it, even if things deviate from the original plot due to his appearance, it won't deviate so far, right?

Who would kill such a harmless princess?
Even the most vicious power struggles are unlikely to take such risks.

First of all, we can rule out the King of Qin's party, based on Shen Nanfeng's understanding of the role of King Qin.

Although he would do anything to achieve his goal, the death of the eighth princess had no benefit to him at all.

King Xuan can also be ruled out. Although he is cruel and a mad dog, he is not crazy enough to kill his own sister.

Needless to say, Shen Hangong was His Majesty's loyal dog, and he couldn't do anything to frame Han Su.

Could it be those people from the noble family and relatives who did it?

Shen Nanfeng couldn't figure it out. He always felt that a key link was missing, which was the purpose.

What is the purpose of killing a princess?

Han Su took action at this time, "Where were the guards in front of the princess's tent last night? Were they interrogated?"

At this time, King Qin asked the imperial army to escort all the guards who were in charge of the princess's tent last night.

"According to what these guards said, they didn't know what happened last night. They fainted and died inexplicably around the camp. No reason was found out."

Han Su looked at the several Forbidden Army guards and then took their pulses.

Then he shook his head, seemingly not noticing anything unusual.

Han Su walked to the body of His Highness the Eighth Prince, inspected it carefully and said:

"One sword decapitates him, but if I were the one to strike, the wounds would not be so uneven. The murderer would either have hidden wounds on his arm, or he might not be good at martial arts."

Shen Nanfeng saw the uneven incision on the corpse, but this subtle difference seemed unconvincing.

"Miss Han, this doesn't seem to mean anything?"

At this point, Han Su casually pulled out the sword of the Forbidden Army beside him and looked around, and finally selected Ye Mingzhang, who was neither strong nor weak.

"Mr. Ye, could you please help me chop down that wooden stake?"

Ye Mingzhang thought for a while, walked to the wooden stake not far away, raised his hand and struck a sword.

At this time, Han Su stepped forward again, pointed at the flat gap and said:

"You see, the marks made by Mr. Ye have a certain arc. I think this is the habit of using a whisk for many years. After the sword cuts into the wooden pile, due to the increased obstruction, there will inevitably be deviations from the rules. The same goes for beheading. When When cutting the bones inside the neck, there will still be slight deviations."

King Xuan was a little impatient and asked coldly: "What exactly do you want to explain?"

Han Su said bluntly: "If I take action, I will never leave such a mark, it will be very smooth."

"This is just your one-sided statement, what we want to see is the evidence!"

Han Su was helpless, "I'm afraid His Royal Highness King Xuan has misunderstood me. What I want to say is that everyone has his own marks when using a sword, but the person who killed His Highness must have injuries on the hand holding the sword, because I don't know I think a person with poor martial arts skills can sneak into the heavily guarded Zixian Mountain Camp!"

After hearing this, King Qin immediately sent people to prepare for a search.

Han Su was puzzled and came to the body of His Highness the Eighth Prince.

Shen Nanfeng asked: "Ms. Han, are you thinking about the thief's purpose of killing His Highness the Eighth Prince?"

Han Su thought for a moment and nodded. "Her Royal Highness the Eighth Princess has hardly participated in any power struggles. Although she offends many people on weekdays, how much hatred does it take for someone to come and assassinate her at the risk of being executed by everyone in her family?"

Shen Nanfeng looked around and had no answer for a moment.

"If you exclude those conspiracy theories, only vendetta seems more reliable, but I think there is another possibility?"

"what's the situation?"

"It was an impromptu idea that the murderer's target was not Her Highness the Eighth Princess, but she just happened to be caught by Her Highness the Eighth Princess."

At this time, King Xuan raised a question, "Ha! It's a joke. A master who can sneak into the Zixian Mountain camp stole Han Wenjun's sword on the spur of the moment? And then he decided to kill my eighth sister on the spur of the moment? I think you are joining forces to put on a show!"

King Qin stopped and said: "Lao San, can you fucking be quiet for a while? You said that Wenjun's sister is the murderer, but why don't you provide evidence?"

"Boy, are you fucking confused by this woman? Who is your sister? It is your sister who died here, and you are still favoring that woman?! Do you really think she can lie down on your bed and serve you willingly? Idiot !”

"Third brother, that's enough! If you keep talking nonsense, I won't be polite anymore!"

At this point, Han Su looked at King Xuan with cold eyes, "Your Highness, King Xuan, please be more respectful. I am not a prisoner of war you captured from the Western Regions, let alone a civilian girl you captured to oppress the people. I am not allowed to serve others." I can’t do it either!”

King Xuan snorted coldly, "Don't look at me like that, Han Wenjun, if you can't find the murderer, I will take you back to Jinyiwei and interrogate you personally!"

The previous incident had created a lot of trouble, and King Xuan was even more worried that his second son would be confused, so he was eager to find an opportunity to kill Han Su.

At this moment, His Highness Ninth Prince, who had recovered, barged in again with someone.

She was much calmer this time, and when she looked at Han Su, her eyes were a little more fearful.

"Since you said it had nothing to do with killing my sister, why did Shen Nanfeng take you to escape just now?"

Shen Nanfeng explained this matter: "Suyue Liuguang became the murder weapon. Miss Han can't explain it clearly. I want to take her back to Tianjian Division and investigate the case again!"

"You're afraid you can't explain clearly, so let your maid tell you. Isn't the sword always there with her? Someone, bring it up!"

As he said this, Xiao Lian was carried into the camp by the imperial guards.

She was very frightened, and when she saw Han Su, she quickly knelt down to apologize.

"Miss, I'm sorry, Xiao Lian deserves to die, I didn't take good care of your sword."

Han Su did not blame, but asked: "Xiao Lian, tell me, what happened last night?"

"The third young master came to Zixian Mountain last night and found me in private..."

Before he finished speaking, Han Su frowned and interrupted: "What did you say? Third brother came to Zixian Mountain? Where are the others?"

"He left in a hurry again last night."

King Qin looked gloomy at this, "What does he want from you? Tell me!"

Xiao Lian was very scared and said tremblingly: "The third young master asked me about Su Wenjian. He seems to be very interested in Su Wenjian."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was confused.

Only Shen Nanfeng's face suddenly turned pale.

It's connected, everything is connected.

He finally figured out what the key to the matter was.

It's that one between the heads of the Mu family, Su Wen.

But at this time, Shen Nanfeng didn't know what happened, so he didn't dare to speak out. He was worried that if he spoke, he would drag Han Wenzhao into the abyss.
