The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 898 - 896: Hypocritical Family Members
The person is already dead, and the most important thing now is to find the killer.
Actually, what Chu Zhaonan is more worried about is whether the brutal act is aimed at Chu Tianyi and his daughter, Xin Lin and her father, or the entire Chu Mansion.
"There’s no clue, to be honest, the killer struck in one move, and it’s impossible to discern the kung fu style."
Captain Yang shook his head.
This matter has already alarmed Emperor Longteng, and he has ordered a thorough investigation to find out who the killer is.
But this matter is entirely a headless case.
"She did it, she’s the murderer."
The Second Madam scolded Xin Lin.
"Captain Yang, you should investigate if there were any suspicious people who left Purple Cloud City last night and today. I think the killer may not be from Purple Cloud City."
Xin Lin said.
"Master Xin? You seem to know something?"
Captain Yang sensed the underlying meaning in Xin Lin’s words.
"I know nothing, I just want to avenge Chu Miaoyun and Chu Tianyi as soon as possible. Moreover, it’s best to examine the corpse, there might still be some clues."
Xin Lin glanced at Chu Miaoyun’s corpse on the carriage.
Captain Yang nodded and ordered someone to bring the body down.
"Xin Lin, where is your father?"
Chu Zhaonan looked around Xin Lin, not seeing Chu Beiqing, and asked puzzledly.
"My father went back to Qingtian Academy."
Xin Lin replied casually.
"Xin Lin, now that your second uncle and Miao Yun are gone, why don’t you and your father move back to the Chu Mansion? After all, we’re all family, so why hurt the harmony."
Chu Zhaonan advised.
Chu Zhaonan appeared very sincere, but Xin Lin knew that he wasn’t genuinely kind-hearted.
Her third uncle looked amiable but was actually a man of duplicity.
In fact, he might not be much better than Chu Tianyi.
Back then, when she and Chu Beiqing were driven out of the Chu Mansion, he didn’t say a single word to retain them.
Now, being favored by Emperor Longteng and given a title as a princess, he came to ingratiate himself. His intention was too obvious, making Xin Lin even more displeased.
In any case, she only needed her foolish father as family.
"No need, my father and I live quite well at Qingtian Academy, we won’t move. Besides, some people may not be willing to see my father and me return."
Xin Lin smiled with an implication, glancing at the direction of the Second Madam.
Mentioning Chu Beiqing, Xin Lin observed the Second Madam’s reaction.
Her crying noticeably subsided.
"Since that’s the case, Third Uncle won’t force it."
Chu Zhaonan appeared regretful.
Xin Lin said nothing more, greeted Captain Yang, and left.
After taking Xin Lin’s hint, Captain Yang had the two bodies moved down.
By the end of the morning, Captain Yang received news.
Apart from the missing head, there were no other wounds on the two bodies.
However, there was something peculiar: the spiritual root within the body of Chu Miaoyun was missing.
Captain Yang was puzzled, then suddenly remembered that Chu Miaoyun had attended a birthday banquet with the Young Prince Tu that night.
During the banquet, the Young Prince Tu mentioned that Chu Miaoyun was his junior sister. Because she possessed dual spiritual roots, she would go to Tuyuan Country to join the local Holy Beast Academy.
Captain Yang immediately ordered someone to find the Young Prince Tu, only to discover that the Young Prince Tu and his entourage had left Purple Cloud City early in the morning.
Captain Yang hurriedly reported the matter to Emperor Longteng, but after knowing, Emperor Longteng did not take any further action, thus the deaths of the Chu father and daughter became an unsolved mystery in Purple Cloud City.
