Book 2: Chapter 19.2: I’m Afraid That I Might Accidentally Kill You

The crowned prince’s body was placed on a stone platform in the center of the hall, covered with a white cloth. The two guards did not follow in. Instead, an old eunuch led them in. It was estimated that he had the duty to watch what they’re going to do with the prince’s body.

Zuo Yanfei acted like normal. After entering the hall, she said nothing, went straight to the corpse of the crown prince and lifted the white cloth over it.

The corpse of the prince was exposed to the eyes of the three people. Due to the careful care and preservation of the officials, the corpse of the prince of the Ding Kingdom did not appear to be spoiled, nor did any smell come out.

Inheriting the excellent genes of Emperor Qu Peng, the crown prince was also a bulking man. Although his muscles were not as much as his father, just by looking at this body, people could know that the prince’s strength was extraordinary.

But he was killed silently while watching the show.

Zuo Yanfei began to examine the cause of death. Tang Ruowei was also on the sidelines. At this time, Bai Qiuran also opened his eyes and scanned the body.

After observing for a while, Bai Qiuran knew the cause of the crowned prince’s death. At this moment, Tang Ruowei suddenly looked up and asked:

“Junior brother, do you have any opinion?”

Zuo Yanfei also blinked and looked at him.

“Opinion? What opinion?”

Bai Qiouran pretended to be confused and scratched his head.

“This junior brother is dumb and shortsighted, what can I say?”

Damn it, he’s too cunning.

Tang Ruowei scolded in her heart, and after seeing Bai Qiuran’s eyes for a moment, the girl understood that he must know something, but this guy wouldn’t say, even if it was a sudden attack, he could respond calmly and freely.

This is 3000 years of experience.

“So let me talk about my findings.”

Zuo Yanfei pointed to a wound on prince’s shoulder and said:

“Here, it’s obviously not caused by humans.”

Tang Ruowei glanced at it, the shoulder seemed to be bitten by something, and looking at the degree of torn flesh, it really did not look like the damage that human teeth can cause.

“But what is this wound from?”

“It should be a fox.”

Zuo Yanfei replied:

“My family used to be hunters. Before joining the Heavenly Army, I usually go to the mountains with my dad to hunt. At that time, the fur of the fox was very valuable. I was once bitten by a wild fox.”

“Then this is a demon?”

Tang Ruowei recalled the cultural class she studied in Qingming Jianzong.

“But this doesn’t look like a fatal wound.”

“Yes, but there are no wounds on the surface.”

Zuo Yanfei thinks:

“If we can open his chest …”

“Ah, alas, two ladies.”

The old eunuch beside her was startled and quickly stopped:

“This is the crown prince’s body, don’t go too far!”

“Alas, Emperor Qu Peng let us see his son’s body, we must also give him a face. The dead should be respected, we can not blaspheme the dead body at will.”

Zuo Yanfei’s face showed regret, but she still said:

“Come on, Ruowei, let’s go look at other places.”

After leaving the hall, Zuo Yanfei and Tang Ruowei went to the place where the prince died.

It’s said that the site of the death of the prince was on the side of a canal in the Imperial City. The group was performing on the street next to the canal. At that time, the entire floor was covered by the wealthy prince, and only he and his bodyguards were here.

But after Zuo Yanfei and Tang Ruowei went around, they found the problem.

“There is no sign of ruckus at all.”

Zuo Yanfei said.

“Not mention that, I think the wound on the crown prince’s shoulder is very strange first.”

Tang Ruowei said:

“That is obviously a fox demon, but under the protection of the elite guards of Ding Kingdom, killing a Ding Kingdom prince equivalent to the top of the Qi Refining stage without being discovered, the demon’s level must be high. Did it spend a lot of effort to conceal the eyes and ears of all the guards present and sneak in, just to bite the prince and cause him a non-fatal wound? No one with the right mind would do that. ”

“Then this is not where the prince really died.”

Zuo Yanfei said:

“Someone must have concealed something, perhaps to save their own lives, or for other purposes.”
