If it is not done well, it will be a serious crime of beheading and confiscating the property.

Just when Fan Xian was in a dilemma, Chen Pingping led the black knight into the scene.

"Leave this place to me. If you have any grudges with His Highness, you should avoid suspicion."

Fan Xian knew that Chen Pingping was helping him, so he gratefully cupped his fists and handed over his hands to him, and left with everyone else.

From the beginning to the end, Fan Xian never glanced at Qin Hao, even the corner of his eye was forcibly pressed down by him.

After Fan Xian left, Chen Pingping waved his hand with the black cavalry and surrounded Zuixianju. Then he brought everyone present inside the Zuixianju and isolated them all. Black cavalry guards were arranged at the door to make it airtight.

"General Qin, I heard that you protected the scene just now. I would like to thank you. Otherwise, with so many people making a fuss, the thieves might have escaped."

Yan Ruohai said in a gentle tone after pushing Chen Pingping into Qin Hao's room.

Qin Hao raised his hand to Chen Pingping and said, "You don't need to say thank you for what you have done."

"I just heard Xie Bian say that everyone was confused and at a loss at that time. Why is General Qin so calm?"

"I heard that Dean Chen was also a ninth-level master before. You should know that once you reach the ninth level, your body and mind will be very comparable to others."

Chen Pingping nodded slowly: "Well, it makes sense, but I heard from Xie Bi'an that the reason why the second prince came to Zuixianju today was to entertain General Qin?"

"indeed so."

"Oh? Then what is the purpose of this banquet?"

"The Second Highness promised that if I help him ascend to the throne, he can be replaced by the old General Qin Ye in the future."

A playful smile appeared on Chen Pingping's lips: "General Qin, the crime of treason is not a light one. If you say it so easily, aren't you afraid of His Majesty's punishment?"

"Now that the matter has come to this, what's the use of concealing it? Your Majesty will punish the crime, and Qin will bear the responsibility as long as he can, so as not to harm his family." Qin Hao said in a deep voice.

Chen Pingping nodded after hearing this: "Then General Qin will rest here for a period of time. When the forensic institute finds the real culprit, he will naturally clear General Qin's name. If General Qin thinks of any clues, he can also report to the forensic institute.

Provided, the sooner the case is solved, the sooner His Majesty's anger will be calmed."

After coming out of Qin Hao's room, Yan Ruohai pushed Chen Pingping to the backyard of Zuixianju.

"Dean, do you suspect that this matter has something to do with General Qin?" Yan Ruohai asked curiously.

A flash of light flashed in Chen Pingping's eyes: "Just because the second prince died at the banquet he was invited to, he can't escape his involvement."

Yan Ruohai reminded: "But Xie Bian said that the time and place of the invitation were decided by the second prince, and if he really sent someone to attack and kill the second prince, he could have chosen a time to stay out of it."

"Perhaps he wants to do the opposite?" Chen Pingping said seriously.

"His Majesty was furious when he heard about this. The second prince is not the crown prince of Prince Jing. An ambiguous Northern Qi spy can explain that."

"Your Majesty has issued an order that if the real culprit cannot be found, both your and my heads will be forfeited."

Yan Ruohai was puzzled: "The Inspection Institute has conducted an investigation within a ten-mile radius and found no trace of the murderer. What method did the murderer use to kill the second prince?"

A glimmer of longing flashed in Chen Pingping's eyes: "There are only two possibilities, either our people missed it, or the murderer was carried out ten miles away."

"Ten miles away? Impossible. Even the ninth-grade archery god Yan Xiaoyi doesn't have such a far range."

"In this world, bows and arrows are not the only ones that can kill enemies from a distance."

At this moment, the team investigating the scene ran all the way to the two of them.

"Dean, Sir Yan, no traces of arrows were found at the scene, only this strange copper skin, which should have been filled with gunpowder."

Chen Pingping took the bloody shrapnel, put it on the tip of her nose, smelled it, and said to Yan Ruohai behind her: "Enter the palace."

Not long after, Chen Pingping arrived at the palace.

Emperor Qing turned his back to him: "Have you found it?"

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

"What is this?"

"It's not clear yet, but there is a high probability that the murderer used it to kill the Second Highness."

Emperor Qing took the shrapnel and looked at it again and again, but he still couldn't figure out the reason.

"When the two imperial uncles died, did you hear two thunderous sounds?"
