The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 382 An unexpected discovery
Chu Yunxi looked at the old man in front of her. He had a smile on his face, as if he was smiling all the time. She asked, "Your name is Jabar, and you are the eldest prince's counselor, right?"
Jabar nodded with a smile, "Yes, it is me. The eldest prince said that the prince and princess had something to ask me, so he asked me to come here. What do you want to ask?"
This person gave people a very comfortable feeling. Chu Yunxi relaxed her vigilance a little. Xiao Mubei took out the two weapons and showed them to Jabar. He asked, "I would like to ask you, sir, in Shusha, is there any sect that uses musical instruments as weapons?"
Jabar took the flute and bamboo flute, looked at them carefully, and shook his head, saying, "I've never heard of this. There aren't many martial arts schools in Shusha Country, and most of them use swords as weapons. A few use spears. This kind of musical instrument is the first time I've seen it."
It seems that there is no clue to be obtained from these weapons. Xiao Mubei took the two weapons and said, "Thank you, sir. I have nothing else to do for now. If you need anything, I will ask you again."
Jabar hurriedly shook his hands and bowed, saying, "Sir, I don't deserve it. Your Majesty, I am too humble. If you need me, just send someone to call me. I will take my leave now."
Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei bowed slightly and watched Jabar retreat. Chu Yunxi sighed, "It seems that it may not be so easy to find out the origin of this weapon in a short time. We still have to start with the lost token. I hope the eldest prince can find something."
As they were talking, Bai Yu and Hei Mu came in, each dragging a corpse. Chu Yunxi took a closer look and saw that the two corpses were wearing the clothes of the Shusha Kingdom's guards. It seemed that they were the two guards who had been guarding the tent before.
Chu Yunxi went forward to check the cause of death of the two guards and found that they were both killed instantly by a sword piercing their throats. The murderer acted decisively without any hesitation. She took out the dagger with the flute and compared the wounds of the two guards, confirming that they were both killed by the flute.
It seems that after No. 2 arrived, he went straight to this tent. After arriving, he killed the two guards guarding the tent, hid them, and then entered the tent in the dark to look for something.
Probably because he couldn't find him anywhere, that's why No. 2 wasted time and delayed their arrival. Otherwise, if he found him quickly, he would leave quickly. Chu Yunxi saw that he had no intention of assassinating Asek tonight, but when he turned around, he suddenly saw Asek so close to him, so he couldn't help but take action, which gave Bai Yu an opportunity to take advantage of.
Everything is destined. It seems that Asek is lucky and had a long life. He escaped danger each time he was assassinated, but the assassins died one after another. I believe that if there are still assassins, they will be afraid to take action again.
Chu Yunxi dressed the two bodies and said, "It's too late today. We can ask the guards to identify them tomorrow to see if anyone has seen them in the delegation. If so, let's see who they usually interact with. They are so far away. I think they must have set out with the delegation and are usually hiding in the delegation."
"If we are sure that they have been hiding in the delegation before, then can we also check the people who are left now to see who has such a mark on them? If so, does it mean that they are in the same group as them?" Xiao Mubei asked.
This is indeed a method, but Chu Yunxi felt that they must have other backup plans. It is impossible for them to send all the people from one sect to assassinate Asek. If that were the case, they would have done it long ago, and would not have done it alone.
After checking the bodies, Chu Yunxi came to Asek's personal guard Ali and lifted the white cloth covering him.
Ali had a handsome appearance and a thin figure, but his face was pale and bloodless at the moment. He had been stabbed by several swords and his clothes were torn in several places. Chu Yunxi carefully lifted his clothes and saw a big palm print in the middle of his chest, with several sword wounds next to it. This palm print was probably his fatal injury.
Chu Yunxi asked Xiao Mubei and Chu Zhongxi to come and see. She didn't quite understand this kind of internal strength.
Unexpectedly, when Xiao Mubei saw it, he actually let out a low cry of surprise. Chu Yunxi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Xiao Mubei pursed his lips and said after a long while: "I have seen this palm print formed by internal force."
"Where have you seen it before?" Chu Yunxi's brows were filled with joy. If they could really know where this person's palm print had appeared, it would be of great help to their investigation.
Xiao Mubei replied: "In the palace."
"In the palace?" Chu Yunxi was a little puzzled. Didn't number one and number two come from Shusha? How could Xiao Mubei have seen them in the palace?
Xiao Mubei looked at Chu Yunxi for a long while before saying, "Xiao Shan, I've seen him kill people with this kind of internal force. After killing someone, he would leave a palm print on the person's chest that is one circle larger than the original palm. This kind of internal force is called Tathagata Palm, and it is Xiao Shan's unique skill."
Xiaoshan? The secret guard of the emperor? Chu Yunxi opened her mouth in surprise, "How is this possible?"
Xiao Mubei smiled bitterly, "I also think it's impossible. Xiao Shan has been following the emperor's grandfather for a long time, but these two people are from Shusha, so they are not related at all."
Yes, Chu Yunxi pondered for a while and asked, "Is there a possibility that before Xiaoshan, he learned martial arts from Shusha? After completing his apprenticeship, he returned to Dasui and followed the emperor."
In fact, Xiao Mubei didn't know much about Xiao Shan. As far as he could remember, Xiao Shan had followed the emperor. Xiao Mubei didn't know anything about what happened before that.
"We don't know where our grandfather is right now. He said before that he and our father would travel around the capital. If he is nearby, we can ask Xiaoshan about this. If he is really from the same sect as these two people, then we can know what sect they are from, and then we can follow the clues and find out who wants to harm the eldest prince."
Chu Yunxi smiled bitterly. How could it be such a coincidence? Now that Xiaoshan cannot be found, we can only rely on the existing clues to investigate first.
"Let's go and see if the eldest prince has gained anything." Chu Yunxi said as she buttoned Ali's clothes. There was no need to dissect these bodies. The clues they had obtained from the bodies were the internal power of Tathagata Palm, the sect that used musical instruments as weapons, the tattoos on the bodies, and the lost black token. They also needed to check who had entered this tent in the past two days. Once these issues were clarified, the traitor would be exposed and the mastermind would have nowhere to hide.
