The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 383 3 suspects
It was almost midnight, and so much time had passed unknowingly. When the three men came out of the tent where the bodies were placed, they saw that the entire camp was illuminated by torches. Asek stood in front of his tent with his arms folded, looking at the group of people standing in front of him. A team of guards were going in and out searching every tent. Judging from the situation at the scene, there should be no gains yet.
The three walked up to Asek. Asek relaxed when he saw them. He pointed at the people in front of him and said, "All the members of the delegation are here. The guards are still searching everyone's tents. If I find out who the traitor is, I will make sure you know the consequences of betraying me."
He said the last words to the people in front of him.
Chu Yunxi glanced around and saw Alia, Jabbar and some officials were there, as well as maids, servants and guards. Although they did not kneel, no one dared to speak or even breathe.
The guards had searched every tent in groups of three, and now all came back to report, "Reporting to the eldest prince, nothing was found."
Asek's expression turned even uglier. "How could we not find it? Someone, search me."
After another round of hard work, still nothing was achieved.
Chu Yunxi watched Asek busying himself, and slowly formed an idea in her mind. Seeing Asek's face getting uglier and uglier, Chu Yunxi asked, "Prince, have you searched your tent?"
Asek's expression became even uglier. "Princess, what do you mean by this? Could it be that I, the prince, would order someone to kill me?"
Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "The eldest prince is really humorous. I just think that if you want to search, you should treat everyone equally. It won't hurt to search, so just take it as a sign of compliance."
Asek was a little annoyed, but he couldn't refuse Chu Yunxi's face. He looked at Xiao Mubei and Chu Zhongxi, who didn't seem to want to stop him. He gritted his teeth and waved to the guards, "Go search this prince's tent."
The guards followed orders and went in to search. Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "The eldest prince is truly wise and brave, and he is impartial and fair. He will definitely be a wise ruler in the future."
Chu Yunxi spoke so sweetly that Asek couldn't even get angry. He laughed and was about to say a few more words to show that he was indeed selfless, when the guard suddenly ran out from inside, handed over a black token with both hands, and said, "Grand Prince, we found it."
"What?" Asek was surprised. He took the token and said in disbelief, "Did you find this in my tent?"
The guard did not dare to hide it and nodded, "Yes, Your Highness, I found it on the floor inside your bed."
Asek was stunned, and his mind couldn't help but recall the scene of that day. After the assassin died, he searched the assassin's body and saw the token. He flipped it over and found no words, so he stuffed it back into the assassin's arms.
Yes, he was sure that he had stuffed the token back at that time, so how did it appear in his tent again now?
Chu Yunxi coughed softly, awakening Asek's thoughts. He raised his head and looked at Chu Yunxi in confusion.
Chu Yunxi walked up to him and whispered, "Prince, check who can enter and leave this tent at will on weekdays."
Asek woke up as if from a dream. Yes, his tent was usually guarded by someone, and only a few people could enter. If the token was not taken by him, then it could only have been put in by the traitor.
He immediately waved his hand to let the two guards who were guarding the tent come over and asked, "Who has entered my tent in the past two days when I was away?"
Chu Yunxi added, "Especially after the assassination tonight, who came here?"
She believed that the token must have been put into Asek's tent after the assassination, because before the assassination, the traitor took the token from the body in order to prevent people from finding out the identity of the body. But after the assassination, he realized that if he kept the token, his identity would be exposed. He had to hand over the token as the lesser of two evils, but who should he put the blame on? After thinking about it, the man thought that only throwing it in the eldest prince's tent would be the most foolproof, neither exposing himself nor harming others.
The two guards thought for a moment and said, "After the assassination, only Alia, Jabar, and Lord Doru came. Alia said she was here to help you get something, and Jabar said he forgot something when he came to see you in the morning. Lord Doru came to ask to see you, so we asked him to go in and wait for you."
The reasons were all very reasonable. Chu Yunxi asked Asek, "Who is Lord Doru?"
Asek said, "Duolu is our Shusha's Minister of Rites. He is in charge of the gifts this time. He comes to this prince every day to report on the consumption and expenses along the way."
"So, these three people are able to enter and exit your tent without any problems. Your Highness, you can ask someone to search their residence to see if there is anything found. You can also have a chat with them at the same time."
Asek nodded and said to the people below: "Alia, Jabbar and Doru stay, everyone else go back. If you find anything unusual, you must report it to me immediately. If you help me catch the traitor, I will reward you handsomely."
The people below immediately responded. Asek asked them to disperse and said to the three people who stayed behind, "Follow me in."
Chu Yunxi, Xiao Mubei and Chu Zhongxi also followed into the tent. Asek sat in the main seat, Chu Yunxi and the other three sat at the bottom, and Alia, Jabbar and Doru stood in the middle.
Chu Yunxi watched coldly. The three of them seemed quite calm and looked at Asek with some confusion. It was Duolu who spoke first, "Grand Prince, do you have any instructions for the three of us to do?"
Asek looked at the three men who were all waiting for his orders, and he really couldn't tell who was more suspicious. These three men had been following him for a long time. Although Doru was not with him all the time, he had always been on his side in the court and was always the first to support and respond to him.
Needless to say, Alia and Jabbar have always been by his side. If any of them betrayed him, Asek felt that he would probably never trust anyone again.
"This was just found in this tent," Asek took out the token. "According to the guards, you were the only ones who entered here just now. What do you have to say?"
The three of them were shocked. Alia's eyes were red first. "Your Highness, I have been with you for five years. How could I possibly harm you? I didn't put this token in there by myself."
