The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 385: Investigating the Traitor
Asek looked at Jabbar and said word by word, "I didn't see it. After meeting Jabbar, Alia came to tidy up the tent. Alia, did you see Jabbar's handkerchief?"
Alia shook her head, "I didn't see it."
Asek's face became even uglier. He looked at Jabbar and said, "Sir, what do you have to say?"
Jabar looked a little flustered, but he was an adviser after all. After a moment of panic, he immediately calmed down and said with a smile, "Grand Prince, are you doubting me when you say this? Don't say that I have followed you for so many years. Even if I just joined you, I know how to write the word loyalty. In the morning, I came here to ask to see you. You hadn't gotten up yet. The tent was still a little stuffy because of the heating all night. I was wearing thick clothes and sweating as soon as I came in. I took out a handkerchief to wipe my sweat. You were still getting dressed at the time and didn't see it. After wiping my sweat, I put the handkerchief on the table. Then I was so busy talking to you that I didn't know when I rubbed the handkerchief into the corner under the chair. Don't say that Miss Alia didn't see it. I just came in and searched for it for a long time before I found it. Look, it's this handkerchief. It's dirty. I wanted to go back and wash it, but I haven't had time yet."
After Jabbar finished speaking, he took out a white handkerchief, which was indeed covered with dust and no longer as white as before.
These words were flawless, and physical evidence was also produced. This was beyond Chu Yunxi's expectations. She didn't expect that Jabeur really had some abilities.
Asek was at a loss as to what to do. Apparently, what Jabeur said about coming to him in the morning was true. He looked at Chu Yunxi, asking with his eyes if she had any questions.
Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "Sir, don't be angry. I am just asking a routine question. Now that I have finished asking, it is time to ask others. Miss Alia, what were you doing in the tent after the assassin's assassination?"
"I went back to the tent to get a cloak. The eldest prince was in a hurry to go out, and he only wore a single piece of clothing. It was cold and dewy, and I was afraid that the eldest prince would catch a cold, so I hurried back to get a cloak and left again."
Chu Yunxi saw that Asek was indeed wearing a cloak, and knew that Alia was not lying. Asek nodded, "Yes, Alia did come back and brought me a cloak."
"Okay, where is Lord Dolu? It was so noisy outside, but you didn't go to the assassination site, but came to the tent to wait for the eldest prince. How do you explain that?"
Duolu said in a gruff voice, "I have something important to discuss with the Crown Prince. How can I go to such a crowded and noisy place? Naturally, I can only wait in the tent for the Crown Prince to return."
Asek said, "When I came back, Lord Dulu was indeed waiting for me in the tent, but I ordered people to search the tent afterwards, and I didn't have time to ask Lord Dulu what the matter was."
Duolu snorted and said, "There are outsiders here now, so I can't tell you. I will report to the eldest prince alone after they leave."
The three of them all had their own reasons, and they all sounded reasonable, without a single flaw. Chu Yunxi was not in a hurry and said, "In that case, it's getting late today, let's all go back and rest. We can investigate this matter tomorrow. There's no rush."
It was indeed past midnight now, and the sky outside was dark and silent. Asek knew that this matter could not be rushed. Since the traitor had a sense of crisis, he would definitely be on guard. If he wanted to make him show his hand, he had to take advantage of him when he was unprepared.
He stood up and said to Jabar and Dulu, "Sir and Lord Dulu, please go back and rest. We can talk about it tomorrow. The prince and princess and I still have some things to discuss."
Although Jabbar and Doru were dissatisfied, they did not dare to vent their anger. They said goodbye and left. Asek asked Alia to go outside the tent as well, and then asked Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi, "Did you find anything?"
Chu Yunxi said: "There are some discoveries, but there is no way to string these doubts together at present. More clues are needed. But don't worry, your Highness. Our people are secretly protecting you. You can rest assured."
Asek was indeed relieved after hearing this. He was on a diplomatic mission to Dasui and the journey was long, with limited manpower. Ali was killed again this time, and there was no capable person around him. He had been feeling uneasy for the past two days. Fortunately, the royal sister sent the King of Dingbei and his wife to come, which made him feel relieved.
"In that case, the three of you have worked hard all day today. This prince will arrange for you to rest now."
The three of them said goodbye and left. It was Alia who took them to the prepared tents, one for Chu Zhongxi, one for Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi. After making all the arrangements, she went back.
Xiao Mubei took out a blanket and prepared to sleep on the floor. Chu Yunxi looked at the floor. Although the blanket was laid, it was still uneven because it was outdoors. So she stopped Xiao Mubei and said, "The floor is uneven. You... should sleep on the bed."
She picked up a quilt, folded it horizontally, and placed it in the middle of the bed, saying with a smile, "That's it, Your Highness, please don't cross the line." After that, she crawled in and lay down first, not forgetting to smile at Xiao Mubei.
Xiao Mubei shook his head lovingly. He was secretly happy that Chu Yunxi felt sorry for him and didn't let him sleep on the floor. So he blew out the oil lamp and lay down on the bed.
A faint fragrance wafted from his nose, which was the unique body fragrance of a young girl. He felt a little excited, and his mind became clearer. He no longer felt sleepy. Hearing Chu Yunxi's breathing gradually become even and she had fallen into a deep sleep, he could not help but open his eyes and stare at her outline in the dark.
He didn't know how long he had been watching, but suddenly he heard a light sound of someone falling next to his ears. The sound was very light, proving that the person was very good at martial arts. If he hadn't been awake, he would have hardly noticed it.
Xiao Mubei clenched his hands, and quickly turned over and stood up. He used the move of Double Dragons to take the pearls, and only took out the man's eyes. Before the man could stand firmly, Xiao Mubei's attack came fiercely. He leaned back and kicked his feet. He rolled over several times and avoided Xiao Mubei's attack, and whispered: "It's me."
Xiao Mubei was stunned when he heard the familiar voice, and stopped his attack. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Xiao Shan?"
"it's me."
The deep voice and the cold temperament were undoubtedly Xiao Shan, the secret guard beside the retired emperor. Xiao Mubei had learned Kung Fu from Xiao Shan when he was a child, so he always called him Master Xiao Shan. What a coincidence, he just mentioned him today and said how nice it would be if he was nearby, but he didn't expect that he would actually come at night.
