I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 258 The unexplained murder method

[Choose one of three suspects], this skill failed for the first time with Cao An.

But there is no other way. Ten days have passed since the case, and no one has died. Trying your luck with your skills is the easiest way.

Unexpectedly, it was not these three...

"Cao An, you asked us to come here just to get rid of these copper coins? You don't want to frame us!"

Across the way, She Huai had already started shouting.

Now that Daxing is weak, he is here just to take advantage, and his tone is naturally arrogant.

He yelled 'we' this time, obviously wanting to drag the other two down together and put pressure on Daxing.

Unfortunately, Cao An didn't bother to pay attention to him at all.

He shook his head slightly towards Pang Shi and said: "It's not the three of them. There is another assassin. We can only start the investigation from the beginning."

After hearing his words, Pang Shi's face changed slightly.

They have investigated many times and there are only five suspects. If these three are not the suspects, wouldn't it mean...

"Oh? Has it been proven that we have no suspicion? Then let him go immediately! Being detained here by you these days has made me suffocate."

Hearing Cao An's words, She Huai on the side shouted.

I was a little worried before I came. After all, Daxing was once a powerful country, which suppressed Nanchu for several years.

Looking at it now, even the emperor has been assassinated. He is so strong that he can't help but speak twice as loudly.

Cao An looked through the files and replied without raising his head: "You can't leave yet. You are not the murderers, but you must stay and cooperate with our investigation."

"Why? Since I'm not a murderer, why am I being detained by you guys? I'm the prince of the Viper Kingdom and an envoy! I'm not the prisoner you call around!"

She Huai roared with dissatisfaction, and seemed to gradually get rid of Cao An's fear, and actually started to show off his power.

As he said that, he turned to look at Pang Shi: "You are Pang Duzhi, right! On behalf of the Viper Country, I solemnly request your country to release him and give him a reasonable explanation for his malicious detention for ten days. Apologize!"

Faced with such aggressive behavior, Pang Shi did not reply, but looked at Cao An with his eyes to signal him to calm down.

As for Cao An, he really doesn't care about such little people.

But if you are annoyed by bugs, you will feel unhappy.

He raised his gaze from the file record and glanced at the three of them leisurely: "I have now officially taken over the case and need you to cooperate with the investigation again. Who..."

"I object!"

Snapped!
  A loud slap hit She Huai's face directly, sending him flying several meters away.

Covering the big palm print on his left face, vomiting blood, he looked at Cao An in horror!

"You! How dare you hit me!!"

"Nonsense, it's as if we didn't fight last time. You rushed to answer my question before I even finished asking. It's really embarrassing." Cao An waved his hands indifferently and looked at the other two envoys.

"you……"

"We agree, we agree!" These two people were very aware of current affairs and nodded and bowed in agreement.

Now living under someone else's roof, no one wants to make fun of their own lives. She Huai, who fell to the ground, was obviously stunned by the slap.

He shouted at Pang Shi, "Pang Duzhi! Cao An attacked me maliciously. Is this how you treat Daxing's guests? Believe it or not, I, the Snake Kingdom, will raise an army to crush you Daxing!"

"I don't believe it." Cao An looked at this person with a serious look, as if he were looking at a dead person, forcing She Huai to swallow the rest of his words.

He was sure that if he dared to say another word, Cao An would be punished.

Didn’t we agree that the two countries’ diplomacy would not be interrupted? Why doesn't Cao An even follow this basic etiquette?
  Cao An continued to check the files and was too lazy to pay attention to this person.

It is indeed true that the two countries’ diplomacy should not be interrupted. But there is another saying that a weak country has no diplomacy!
  It is true that the Daxing Dynasty had internal and external troubles, but that was a problem that Emperor Wan Jing should worry about. What did Cao An have to do with him?

He is too lazy to pay attention to the internal fighting in the royal family, but if the Wild Wolf Army gathers again and creates a small country of snakes for you, wouldn't it be a matter of minutes?

Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed snake in front of me?
  ……

After a friendly exchange, Cao An persuaded others with his virtue and finally got the three of them to cooperate in the investigation.

"Then let's start from the beginning. This is the banquet hall. Where was the Holy Emperor assassinated?" Cao An followed Pang Shi to the scene of the crime.

The spacious palace dinner was very large, and the participants included officials, foreign ministers, envoys, members of the royal family, etc.

"There are many people at the banquet, so how did the assassin do it?"

"It's in the side hall. The banquet is coming to an end, and the Holy Master has invited a few people to have a secret talk." Pang Shi said, leading Cao An through a garden and towards the side hall on the west side.

This banquet was not because Emperor Wan Jing was greedy for pleasure.

This is like an annual meeting. Emperor Wan Jing took the lead in holding a banquet to create an appearance of internal stability, harmony and strength, with the intention of winning people's hearts and forming a diplomatic alliance.

Unfortunately, something went wrong.

Following Pang Shi's introduction, Cao An walked into a side hall.

This should be the temporary office of Emperor Wan Jing. There are incantations on the doors and windows. According to the inspection by the Imperial City Department, no traces of damage were found.

In other words, the only way to enter the room to launch an assassination is through the front door.

"What is the realm of the Holy One?"

"Fourth level [Tongyuan] realm." Pang Shi answered truthfully.

Although Emperor Wan Jing was busy with government affairs on weekdays, after all, there were countless treasures in the palace, which were piled up using elixirs, and their level was not low.

"But since it's the fourth level and it's a separate meeting, can't you find the murderer?" Cao An felt a little incredible.

Pang Shi shook his head slightly: "This is indeed very strange. On that day, the Holy Master retreated to the left and right, and I was responsible for the communication. The guard was far away, and no strange noise was heard."

It's not that the Liumen and Imperial City departments are incompetent, it's just that the case can't be explained clearly.

Emperor Wan Jing suddenly made a secret envoy that night, and his behavior was very abnormal. In addition, his strength was not weak. Even if the [Imperial Law] was gone, the [Shenting Essence and Blood] would still be there.

Even if the second-grade people rush in from the main entrance and attack, they can at least resist for a while and support the guards until they can't defeat them.

But Emperor Wan Jing was stunned and showed no resistance at all.

When the fourth visitor entered the room, Emperor Wan Jing had already fainted on the desk, and there were no obvious signs of a fight around him.

This makes no sense at all!

Wan Jingdi is such a cautious person, he will not let outsiders approach without any precautions and give him a brick in the head, right?
  "Then, the last person to talk to the Holy One is very important." Cao An looked at the three people behind him.

But I found that they all had expressions that had nothing to do with them.

"Not you? Who is that?"

"Me." A voice came from the door, and the fifth prince appeared.

The arrogant look he once had was gone. Cao An didn't even use the gold medal to summon him, he just came on his own.

With a sad look on his face, he walked up to Cao An and whispered:

"I heard that Cao Shuixiu was investigating this case, so I came here to cooperate. I'm sorry for Cao Shuixiu's troubles. Please be sure to find out the truth of this case and catch the murderer for my father."

"Your Highness, please rest assured. I will do my best as a subordinate."

Cao An's eyes flashed, this person is so active, is he too filial?
