Chapter 76 Confirmed Death
As soon as these words came out, Guan Tianqian's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said:

"You mean, you saw that young man at Cangyuan Marquis's Mansion last night?"

Guan Shanxue nodded, but his expression was a little unnatural for a moment.

Because she not only remembered meeting the other person, but also remembered some rather shameful actions she had performed at that time.

Guan Tianqian narrowed his eyes and pondered in silence.

Obviously, judging from the current situation, the young man is undoubtedly a major suspect.

Cang Yinyue's martial arts skills are not good enough to leave that kind of advanced acupoint-pressing skills on Guan Shanxue. It is very likely that this was done by the other party.

Cang Yinyue did not have enough strength to capture the three wanted criminals and the remnant of Daqi. The only possibility was that someone else helped her, and it just so happened that the young man showed great strength and appeared next to Cang Yinyue recently.

In addition, the other party appeared in Cangyuanhou’s mansion again last night. All the clues put together point to one thing: the death of Cangyuanhou and others may be related to that young man.

Guan Shanxue saw that Guan Tianqian was silent for a long time, frowned, and said:
"You wouldn't doubt that pretty boy, would you? But he doesn't have any martial arts energy."

Guan Tianqian glanced at the other party and said:
"Then explain to me why he appeared in Cangyuan Marquis's residence last night?"

"This... is not that simple. Cang Yinyue must have secretly met with the other party in the Marquis' Mansion at night."

"You're so confused! Do you think anyone can enter the Marquis Cangyuan's mansion? Also, use your brain to think about why you were unconscious and entered the mansion? Marquis Cangyuan and the others were killed, but why didn't they kill you and sent you back to the Six Gates intact?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Shanxue's face froze, and she thought that the other party was afraid of her identity as the daughter of a great detective.

But on second thought, wouldn't it be more reasonable to kill her to silence her?

Guan Tianqian shook his head slightly and said:
"That person is not simple, but he doesn't look like a vicious person. As for you saying that he doesn't have martial arts true energy, it may be that your cultivation is too low, and he has mastered some method of concealing his aura. It's normal that you can't see it."

As he spoke, Guan Tianqian frowned unconsciously again.

He was certain that the person who had attacked at Cangyuan Hou's Mansion was definitely a master at the Heavenly Man Realm. However, it was unlikely that the young man could reach such a realm.

Maybe it's a disguise, or maybe there's someone else behind it.

But no matter what, there is only one breakthrough in this matter, and that is Cang Yinyue.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a constable said urgently:
"Sir, someone from the palace wants to see you."

Hearing this, Guan Tianqian's face showed a strange expression. He then glanced at Guan Shanxue and warned:
"What I just said is something that only you and I need to know. Don't tell anyone else. I will handle this matter."

Guan Shanxue snorted lightly, but he also knew that this matter was of great importance, so he nodded reluctantly.

Seeing this, Guan Tianqian said nothing more and walked out of the room.

Not long after, he took two gold-medal detectives from the Six Gates and followed the eunuchs from the palace to the Dali Palace in a carriage.

"Eunuch, I wonder why you summoned us to the palace?"

Inside the carriage, Guan Tianqian bowed to the eunuch who was resting with his eyes closed and asked.

However, the eunuch shook his head and said:

"Master Guan, there's no need to ask any more questions. You'll know once you get to the palace."

After saying this, the eunuch looked indifferent and stopped talking to him.

Guan Tianqian frowned slightly, but didn't dare to ask any further.

The carriage passed through the "Xuanwu Gate", crossed the Golden Bridge, and entered the outer city of the imperial palace.

At this time, Guan Tianqian and the two senior gold medal constables all had slightly changed expressions.

The entire palace was heavily guarded, with soldiers patrolling everywhere. In just a short distance, the carriage they were riding in was inspected five times.

Suddenly, an idea came to the minds of the three people: something happened in the palace.

Guan Tianqian suddenly remembered the stone, and his expression began to change.

Could it be...

Not long after, he arrived outside the Yixin Palace in a carriage, where he met a commander of the Secret Service Department and his men.

"Let's go in and take a look." said an old eunuch.

Upon hearing this, Guan Tianqian led two gold medal constables towards Yixin Palace.

After entering the hall and seeing the tragic scene inside, Guan Tianqian subconsciously stopped in his tracks, his expression somewhat dazed.
"He actually killed Concubine Ji!"

……

Inside a hall of the Six Gates General Yamen.

Fu Yu stood in front of the window, looking at the ancient tree outside the hall, standing still.

Not long after, Ji Feiyun and Gong Lishan walked in. Ji Feiyun turned around and closed the door, then walked closer and whispered:

"Brother Fu, I have already had someone inform His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince about what happened in the Cangyuan Marquis's mansion."

Hearing this, Fu Yu nodded slightly.

Then, he turned to look at the two of them and asked:
"Have you seen Cang Yinyue?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Feiyun and Gong Lishan both shook their heads.

"Yesterday, Cangyuan Marquis's Mansion sent a message saying that Captain Mingcang would not be on duty at the Six Gates for a while."

Gong Lishan spoke, and then he and Ji Feiyun looked at each other, but did not continue.

Fu Yu glanced at the two of them and said:

"Given the relationship between us, there's no need to hide anything. Just speak your mind."

Ji Feiyun hesitated for a moment and said:

"Yesterday, Marquis Cangyuan had actually confined Cang Yinyue to the Marquis' Mansion, but after the tragedy occurred in the Marquis' Mansion, we were unable to find her."

"I just found a large unlocked lock in an underground secret room in the back garden. Cang Yinyue must have escaped from the Marquis' Mansion and her whereabouts are unknown."

Gong Lishan pondered for a moment and said:
"Furthermore, we cannot rule out the possibility that Captain Cang is involved in the deaths of Marquis Cangyuan and Madam Zhu."

Fu Yu looked calm and said:

"Do you think Cang Yinyue was responsible for this?"

Ji Feiyun glanced at Fu Yu, his expression suddenly becoming somewhat serious, and said:

"Brother Fu, you may not know this, but I have already confirmed and verified that the young man Cang Yinyue brought into the Aurora Pavilion is undoubtedly the Eighth Prince newly recognized by His Majesty."

As soon as these words were spoken, a hint of surprise flashed across Fu Yu's face, which had been calm before.

He squinted his eyes and looked at Ji Feiyun:

"you sure?"

Ji Feiyun nodded solemnly, while Fu Yu was silent for a while and murmured:
"She actually found the real prince who was living among the people. This was beyond my expectation."

Hearing this, Gong Lishan nodded slightly and said:

"Although Captain Cang's martial arts skills are somewhat lacking, he is extremely capable in investigating cases and handling affairs. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been promoted to Silver Medal Captain at such a young age."

As he spoke, he looked at Fu Yu and said:

"Now that Marquis Cangyuan and Madam Zhu are dead, the Marquis Cangyuan Mansion exists in name only. However, Captain Cang has now established a connection with the Eighth Prince, so it may be possible for him to revive the mansion in the future."

Fu Yu waved his hand and said slowly:

"Whether she finds the Eighth Prince or not, I will not give up my engagement with her."
