After coming out of the palace, Lu Shengyuan and Lin Wanqing both looked unhappy.

The person behind this must be powerful and ruthless.

He could even harm a witness like Ah Fei, which shows how vicious his mind is.

"Wanqing, what do you think about this?"

Lu Shengyuan suddenly asked.

Lin Wanqing pondered for a moment and then said, "The person behind this must have connections with the palace and must be quite powerful. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to poison the palace so brazenly."

Lu Shengyuan nodded when he heard this.

"Yes, I thought so too, but now the clues are broken, how should we investigate?"

A hint of determination flashed in Lin Wanqing's eyes.

"Since the clues are broken, let's look for new ones. Although Ah Fei is dead, he must have had contact with the person behind the scenes before he died. We may be able to start from this aspect."

Lu Shengyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"That's right, Wan Qing, you're right. Let's go check Ah Fei's whereabouts and the people he came into contact with before his death."

The two men acted immediately and sent people to secretly investigate Ah Fei's whereabouts and the people he had contacted before his death.

After some investigation, they found an important clue.

During his lifetime, Ah Fei frequently visited an inn called "Yue Lai Inn" and had a close relationship with the inn's owner.

After learning about this, Lu Shengyuan and Lin Wanqing immediately rushed to Yuelai Inn.

They wanted to see what secrets this inn was hiding.

When Lu Shengyuan and Lin Wanqing arrived at Yuelai Inn, the innkeeper immediately came to greet them warmly.

"My two guests, please come in. Would you like to have a meal or stay overnight?"

Lu Shengyuan glanced at him calmly and said, "We're not staying overnight or staying at the hotel. We're here to look for someone."

The boss was stunned when he heard this. "Looking for someone? Who?"

"hooligan."

Lu Shengyuan stared at his boss's eyes, trying to see something from his expression.

Sure enough, when the boss heard the name "A Fei", his eyes flashed slightly, but soon returned to normal.

"A Fei, he hasn't been here for a long time. I don't know where he is."

The boss's words made Lu Shengyuan and Lin Wanqing look at each other, and they saw suspicion in each other's eyes.

They were sure that the boss was lying.

Lin Wanqing suddenly said, "Boss, we heard that Ah Fei often comes here and has a close relationship with you. Don't you really know where he is?"

The boss's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure.

"I really don't know. Please go back, gentlemen."

With that said, he turned around and left.

Seeing this, Lu Shengyuan immediately stepped forward to block his way.

"Boss, why are you in such a hurry to leave? We haven't finished talking yet."

The boss's face darkened completely.

"You two, I've already said I don't know where Ah Fei is. What else do you want?"

Lu Shengyuan stared at him coldly. "We don't want to do anything. We just want to know about Ah Fei's interpersonal relationships. I hope the boss will tell us the truth."

The boss was intimidated by Lu Shengyuan's aura and was a little at a loss for a moment.

Lin Wanqing took the opportunity to speak up and said, "Boss, if you don't tell the truth, we'll have no choice but to report it to the authorities. Then they'll come and investigate what secrets your inn is hiding."

The boss's face changed drastically when he heard this. He stared at Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan with wide eyes, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

He obviously didn't expect these two people to be so persistent.

"I...I said, don't report it to the police, is that not enough?"

The boss finally compromised.

He said after taking a deep breath.

"A Fei does come to my place often. He... he's my distant cousin. A while ago, he suddenly came to me and said he had done big business in the capital and made a lot of money. He also... he even gave me some money to help him hide his identity."

"Hide your identity?"

Lu Shengyuan and Lin Wanqing looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

"Yes, it is to conceal the identity."

The boss nodded.

"He said he was doing a shady business in the capital and was afraid of being found and retaliated against, so he asked me to help him conceal his identity."

"Then do you know what kind of business he is in?"

Lin Wanqing asked immediately.

The boss shook his head.

"I really don't know this. He didn't tell me."

Lu Shengyuan and Lin Wanqing were both disappointed when they heard this. They thought they could learn about the business behind Ah Fei from their boss.

But it doesn't matter, they already know that Ah Fei is hiding his identity, and this is an important clue.

"Then do you know where Ah Fei lives in the capital?"

Lu Shengyuan suddenly asked.

The boss nodded and said, "I know. I once happened to see the address he left behind."

Having said that, he turned and went into the inn, and came out soon with a note in his hand.

"This is Ah Fei's address in the capital."

Lu Shengyuan took the note, took a look at it, and then put it away.

"Thank you."

After saying that, he pulled Lin Wanqing and turned to leave the inn.

Looking at the two people's backs as they left, the boss sighed deeply.

He didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong, but he really didn't want to be involved in this inexplicable thing.

Ah Fei, you're on your own.

After Lu Shengyuan and Lin Wanqing left the inn, they immediately went to the address on the note.

However, they were still a step too late, and Ah Fei's residence was already empty.

"It seems that the person behind this has learned that we are investigating this matter, so he moved away in advance."

Lu Shengyuan said as he looked at the empty room.

A hint of determination flashed in Lin Wanqing's eyes.

"It doesn't matter. As long as we keep investigating, we will eventually find clues."

Hearing this, Lu Shengyuan turned to look at her, his eyes full of a gentle smile.

"Okay, let's continue investigating."

The two left Ah Fei's residence and returned to the Lin Mansion.

Lin Wanqing asked the guards in the mansion to secretly investigate A Fei's interpersonal relationships to see who else he had contact with besides the owner of Yuelai Inn.

The guard took the order and left, while Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan sat in the study waiting for news.

Time passed little by little, it was getting dark outside, and the guards finally came back.

"Your Highness, Madam, I have already investigated Ah Fei's interpersonal relationships."

The guard handed Lu Shengyuan an investigation report.

Lu Shengyuan took the report, took a look at it, and then handed it to Lin Wanqing.

"Wanqing, take a look."

Lin Wanqing took the report and read it carefully.

The report recorded Ah Fei's interpersonal relationships in detail. In addition to having contact with the owner of Yuelai Inn, he also had frequent contact with a man named Zhang San.

"Who is this Zhang San?"

Lin Wanqing looked up at the guards.

The guard replied, "Madam, this Zhang San is a ruffian in the capital, often doing some petty thefts."

Lin Wanqing's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"A thug? Is it possible that he was ordered to kill someone for money?"

The guard thought for a moment and said, "It's possible. People like that will do anything for money."

"Okay, then take your men and capture Zhang San immediately. We want to interrogate him personally."
