C119

After following Shi Jinchen around an extremely tall, broken stone mountain, he saw three or two adults dressed in official robes gathered together and talking about something with a worried look on their faces.

Aside from the Lord who was dressed in the official uniform, there were also two soldiers lined up on the spot. They should be responsible for protecting these few Lord's.

Because Shi Jinchen, Ke Yuehua and the guards were all on horseback, the moment they heard the noise, they immediately looked over. After seeing who it was, they all rushed over.

"Fourth Prince, a thousand years." The few lords all knelt down at the same time, and the soldiers who had been standing all this time also needed to kneel down and pay their respects to the same amount of Shi Jinchen as the other lords.

"Get up." After Shi Jinchen finished speaking, he jumped off the horse, and directly walked past the few lords, and looked towards the crime scene that was surrounded by people behind them.

Ke Yuehua also quickly followed after me from the horse, and gave the reins of the Xiao Sui to the driver who had just came up to take care of the horses after Shi Jinchen had dismounted from the horse.

When all the Masters were faking their politeness and supporting each other as they got up, they just so happened to face the Ke Yuehua which had yet to arrive and could keep up with the Shi Jinchen.

Ke Yuehua saw that the few adults were all looking at him, and in a short moment, he could not continue forward, nor could he retreat.

But Ke Yuehua was also quick to react as well. She immediately performed a salutation with her hands folded in front of her chest in accordance to the benefits that she deserved, and passed through the middle of the lords, jogging to catch up with Shi Jinchen.

All the lords glanced at each other, then looked at the Shi Jinchen and Ke Yuehua behind their backs.

Was this the girl who had made the Fourth Prince depressed for so long? Didn't I hear that someone is dead?

All of the adults were old, and when they got there, they liked to listen or ask about some gossipy stuff. Therefore, they would curiously look at the Shi Jinchen and the Ke Yuehua from time to time.

It was two days ago when the son of the marquis was found, and his corpse was still in the house of the marquis. The marquis left the corpse in the ice cellar specifically so that it wouldn't rot, and the reason why the marquis decided not to bury it was because he believed that the murderer must come to the young marquis' house to accompany the young marquis.

The coroner had already checked if there were any fatal wounds on the body of the young duke since the day he was found, or perhaps he wanted to find some clues to help solve the case. However, no matter how the coroner examined, he could not find any useful information. Although there was an obvious bruise on the young duke's back, it was not a fatal injury.

He had also thought about whether he had been poisoned, but he hadn't found any traces of it on the young duke at all.

When the coroner and the other masters had planned to dig the corpse to see if the young duke's internal organs would be found, the marquis refused to allow the coroner to dig the corpse. He said that as a father, if he couldn't let his son die without a corpse, then he would be the one at the end of the line.

He didn't want the coroner to dig up the body anyway.

Since this was the case, there was no other way around it. Since they couldn't get any useful information from the corpses, they could only look for information at the place where the corpses were found.

Today was the first time Shi Jinchen had been present at a crime scene. Although it seemed as if outsiders were unable to enter, Shi Jinchen was not even sure if the crime scene was the same as the crime scene when the Young Marquis died.

If this crime scene was well protected, perhaps they could find something. However, if they were in a passive situation, it would be difficult.

Seeing that Shi Jinchen was engrossed looking at the crime scene, Ke Yuehua also went over, and seriously checked the crime scene together with Shi Jinchen.

One of the lords was just about to speak up to stop them, when he was stopped by another lord who seemed to be very experienced.

The adult who was blocking the way said in a low voice, "It was brought by the prince, so you don't have to worry about it."

Because there was Shi Jinchen here, all of the adults just turned a blind eye and let the Ke Yuehua have a look, just like that.

"Can this be confirmed as the first crime scene?" Ke Yuehua watched as the line was pulled, and what was encircled was the crime scene.

However, there didn't seem to be anything special about the crime scene. It was almost the same as the other places, so he couldn't tell what was different.

"This is still to be investigated." Shi Jinchen looked at the scene of the crime with some difficulty. It had already been two days, and every night there would be strong gales blowing at night, so the evidence would probably have already been blown away by the gale.

"What about the body?" Do you know the exact cause of death? " She was actually saying that she wanted to help Shi Jinchen find some useful clues to help Shi Jinchen out, but she didn't expect that when she arrived at the scene of the crime, she would discover that there wasn't anything that could help Shi Jinchen out here. She only wanted to see if she could help Shi Jinchen up from the corpses to look for clues for Shi Jinchen.

"I plan to go to the Hou Mansion tomorrow to check out the corpses. I was just thinking that two days have already passed, so I decided to visit the scene of the crime first." Shi Jinchen took one last look at the place that was surrounded, and was called the crime scene, then raised his hand, and signaled the adults that had been standing behind him to come over.

These lords were the officials responsible for investigating this matter from the very first day. Since the person who died was the young duke of the marquis' residence, when this matter was made known to the emperor, he immediately rehearsed a few officials to investigate this matter.

However, things were not as simple as they normally were. The most important matter was still the Marquis' identity.

Because right now, his Shi Jinchen and a few officials had some leads and clues, he had originally wanted to see if he could find any useful clues from the corpses, but the Marquis stopped him.

This was not a surprise, as a father, he would definitely be very heartbroken, a person who should have been living a long life, yet now he was suddenly dead. If his corpse was dug up by someone else, it would also be bad, after all, the Marquis was a white-haired man giving it to the black-haired man.

"Your Highness, what orders do you have for me?" The few Masters came forward and asked if there was anything Shi Jinchen that needed them to do. Now that they had received support from the investigation team, they had to listen to Shi Jinchen's orders from time to time.

"Send someone to deliver the first report of the autopsy on the body to my residence."

"Yes."
