Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 262

[Chapter 262 Are You Deserving?]

In the imperial study, the people from the two parties of the crown prince and the prince of Qi did not take Lin Xiu seriously at all.

The Department of Strange Arts, the Department of Secret Investigation, the Department of Cleansing Officials, and the Ministry of Justice could not find any clues in the case, but he was able to find out the truth and come back as soon as he went. Who does he think he is?

Emperor Xia had a glimmer of hope for Lin Xiu. He remembered that Lin Xiu had some skills in investigating cases, but it was only a glimmer, because these cases were not revenge killings. After the murders were successful, the killer might have fled thousands of miles away.

At this time, an official stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, there must be someone with ulterior motives behind these cases, blaming our Great Xia court.”

Everyone looked at him with contempt. Nonsense, if someone didn’t blame them, could it be that Great Xia did it itself?

Everyone knew who was responsible for this case, and what they wanted now was evidence, evidence…

At this time, there was another noisy sound outside the imperial study, and soon an eunuch came in to report that the envoys from the Western Regions, Nanyue, and Beimang were outside the palace to see him…

Emperor Xia suddenly felt a headache, rubbed his eyebrows, and said, “Let them in…”

…

After leaving the imperial study, Lin Xiu condensed a pair of ice wings behind him and flew to the Qingli Division at the fastest speed.

In the past, Emperor Xia always wanted to get free sex from him, but to be fair, Lin Xiu owed him a lot of favors during this period, so it was right to help him. In the

Qingli Division, Liu Qingfeng was about to go out when a figure fell from the sky.

He was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: “Lord Lin, long time no see!”

Lin Xiu got straight to the point: “I’m here for the assassination of the genius from Beimang. Has the Qingli Division investigated this case?”

Liu Qingfeng nodded and said: “We have checked, but it’s useless. The three cases in the past three days are all against our Daxia court. The people who assassinated them have nothing to do with them, and there is no place to check.”

Lin Xiu said: “Take me to the latest crime scene.”

The scene where the genius from Beimang was assassinated was in an inn in Xicheng.

After the small competition, some of the geniuses from other countries will return to their country to continue their practice, and some will stay in Daxia for a while to deeply experience the prosperity of Daxia’s capital.

Lin Xiu soon arrived at this inn.

Putting aside the identity of the genius from Beimang, this is an ordinary crime scene. The murderer entered through the window, killed the person, and left through the window. Only a murder weapon was left at the scene, and there was no item that could prove the identity of the murderer.

The murder weapon was actually the sword of the genius from this small country. The assassin killed him with his sword.

Because the case had just happened, the scene was still as it was.

Liu Qingfeng was holding a small black dog. Lin Xiu waved at it and said, “Xiao Hei, come here.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the black dog broke free from Liu Qingfeng and ran to Lin Xiu.

Liu Qingfeng was dumbfounded by this scene. The dog he had raised for more than half a year was actually kidnapped by someone with just one sentence.

However, since the other party was Lord Lin, it was not so strange.

Lin Xiu pointed to the hilt of the sword and said to Xiao Hei, “Smell it.”

The dog immediately ran over and sniffed hard on the hilt.

Then, it turned around in the room and barked at Lin Xiu twice.

There was indeed a different smell on the hilt, but it was only limited to the hilt. Inside the room, the smell was extremely faint, and it was not smelled at all outside. It was almost impossible to track the murderer with it, unless there was a clear direction for the murderer to escape.

Lin Xiu came to the window and looked out.

In the courtyard of the inn, there is a locust tree. On the top of the tree is a bird’s nest. A female bird is feeding three chicks. Lin Xiu closed his eyes. The female bird in the nest suddenly paused in feeding, and a lively light appeared in her eyes.

After awakening the beast language ability five times, Lin Xiu no longer knew what to call it.

In the past, he could only talk to them and drive them to do things.

Now, he can place his consciousness on them in an incomprehensible way, see their perspectives, and even check their memories.

The female bird’s eyes turned, and a picture flashed in Lin Xiu’s mind.

The picture was blurry, but it was still vaguely visible that last night, a black shadow left the room of the young genius of Beimang and disappeared in a certain direction.

Lin Xiu took Xiao Hei and flew in this direction.

On the street below, a stray dog suddenly raised its head. Lin Xiu saw from its memory that a black shadow ran past its eyes and disappeared in a street.

Lin Xiu walked into the alley. In front of a house at the end of the alley, an orange cat looked at him lazily. When they met each other’s eyes, they immediately shuddered.

After a while, Lin Xiu crossed the high wall at the end of the alley and came to another street.

Not far along the street, Xiao Hei in his arms suddenly cried out. It smelled a familiar smell. Although it was very weak, as long as it smelled it, it could follow the smell and find the source.

Lin Xiu put it down. Xiao Hei sniffed on the ground while moving forward. Finally, he came to an inn and stopped in front of a guest room.

Lin Xiu walked to the door and knocked.

The door opened quickly. When a young man saw Lin Xiu, he was obviously stunned.

Then he said, “I’m sorry, I was born and raised in Beimang. I can only fight for Beimang and will not join Daxia.”

Lin Xiu knew this young man. He was above the small competition. The ground-level seed of Beimang, the final ranking was thirteenth, which was also a very good ranking. If there is no accident, he will also be on the list of this competition.

Lin Xiu was very surprised. When he was looking for the murderer who assassinated the genius of Beimang, he actually found another genius of Beimang.

Judging from his body shape, it was undoubtedly the assassin from yesterday.

Lin Xiu looked at him and sighed, “I didn’t expect it to be you.”

The young man looked at Lin Xiu and said in surprise, “Aren’t you here to recruit me on behalf of the Daxia court?”

Lin Xiu asked, “Why did you kill your people from Beimang and put the blame on Daxia?”

As soon as Lin Xiu finished speaking, the young man from Beimang showed fear on his face. He didn’t know why this happened. Why could Lin Xiu find him so quickly? Why was he so sure that he was the one who killed Zhao Yue?

The genius of Beimang was assassinated, why would people suspect someone from Beimang?

Do people from Daxia know how to investigate cases?

Caught off guard, he couldn’t even keep calm and forced a smile, “You, what are you talking about, how could I…”

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiu shook his head and said, “Your acting is too bad. Your eyes are erratic, you stutter, and your smile is so forced. Anyone can see that you have something to hide. Do you have a grudge against him, or someone has given you a benefit? I guess it should be that the Great You Dynasty has made a promise to you?” The

face of this Beimang genius turned pale, and all his secrets were exposed in front of Lin Xiu.

Until now, he couldn’t figure out how he knew it?

He let out a low roar in his throat, and his muscles began to swell rapidly. Hair grew on the exposed skin, and his nails grew two inches longer, shining with sharp cold light.

Bang!

Before he finished transforming, Lin Xiu punched him in the chest. He was like a deflated ball. His swollen body began to shrink, and his sharp nails retracted into his body, and he collapsed to the ground powerlessly.

Lin Xiu picked him up and flew directly in the direction of the palace.

Imperial Study.

The arguments had never stopped since the beginning. Emperor Xia’s head had begun to ache.

The Western Regions envoy said, “We believe that Daxia would not do such a thing, but please give us a deadline. The murderer must be handed over within the deadline…” The South Vietnamese envoy

also spoke solemnly, “Although South Vietnam is small, it also has integrity. Our genius was assassinated in Daxia. If your court cannot give us an explanation, the South Vietnamese delegation will leave Daxia.” The

North Mang envoy was even more impolite, gritting his teeth and saying, “If you fail to recruit him, you kill him. Is this what the Celestial Empire does?”

In the Imperial Study, Daxia officials remained silent. After all, in this matter, the Western Regions, South Vietnam, and North Mang were the victims. If it were Daxia, they would probably be more excited than them.

Emperor Xia’s veins on the back of his hand bulged, but he could only comfort the envoys of the three countries and said, “Don’t worry, the court will investigate the case as soon as possible and give you an explanation.” The

envoy of Beimang stepped forward and said, “As soon as possible means as soon as possible. I hope the court of Daxia can give us a deadline.”

Emperor Xia was silent for a moment and said, “One month.”

The envoy of Beimang said, “One month is too long. Three days at most. If the murderer is not handed over within three days, we will protest to the Alliance of Nations.”

The Alliance of Nations is an organization jointly established by all countries on the continent after the continent went from war to peace. Its purpose is to maintain peace and stability on the continent and mediate and resolve disputes between countries. Although Daxia also has a great voice in the alliance, if it loses the hearts of the people first, it may be condemned by most countries in the alliance. At that time, in addition to losing national prestige, it will also cause a series of immeasurable losses to Daxia.

One month is too long, and three days are too short. Emperor Xia wanted to strive for half a month, but before he opened his mouth, a figure had already walked in from outside.

Emperor Xia looked at Lin Xiu and immediately asked, “How is it going? Have you found any clues?”

Lin Xiu clasped his fists and said, “Your Majesty, the murderer who assassinated the genius of Beimang has been captured and is now outside the palace, waiting for your Majesty’s decision.”

As soon as these words came out, the whole palace was silent.

It took more than a quarter of an hour from the time he left the imperial study to the time he returned here.

What can be done in more than a quarter of an hour? Those who don’t know would think that he went out to relieve himself.

In such a short time, he could catch the murderer?

It’s not that fast.

Even Emperor Xia was skeptical about Lin Xiu and said, “Zhu Jin, bring the person in first.”

After a while, a figure was brought into the palace.

When the envoy of Beimang saw the man, he was immediately furious and said, “This is the murderer you Daxia caught. You have already killed one of our geniuses, are you going to kill another one?”

This genius of Beimang also performed extremely well in the small competition. Even the Daxia officials here were familiar with him.

The prince was secretly delighted. This Lin Xiu was really too bold. Even if he was tortured into confessing, he had to choose a suitable target. The people from Beimang were dead, and he still arrested them. Isn’t this bullying an honest person?

Lin Xiu looked at the envoy and said in a deep voice: “The murder weapon is still at the scene. You just need to send someone to compare the smell of the murder weapon and the person’s body, and you will naturally know who the murderer is. When I found this person just now, he looked panicked and tried to attack me. Do you think I framed him?”

Emperor Xia looked at Zhu Jin and said, “Let someone interrogate him.”

The Secret Investigation Department is full of talents. When it comes to investigating cases, they may not be very good, but when it comes to interrogation, no one can match them.

However, this time, before the Secret Investigation Department interrogated him, the genius of Beimang confessed himself.

The moment Lin Xiu found him, he knew he had no chance.

At this point, stubborn resistance would only make him suffer more torture.

According to his confession, a few months ago, before the competition started, someone found him and asked him to commit a crime and frame Daxia after the competition. After the crime was committed, he would be allowed to join Dayou, where he would not only be in a high position, but also enjoy endless cultivation resources.

The Northern Mang envoy pointed at him and trembled and could not speak.

Emperor Xia looked calm, looked at them, and said, “Since it is your Northern Mang’s business, let you handle it yourself. This case was framed by someone behind the scenes. I believe the other two cases are also related to them. You go back and wait. Daxia will give you a result as soon as possible…”

The envoys of the three countries no longer had the anger they had just had, and they were afraid.

If they had friction with Daxia, or even a falling out, it would be self-evident who would most want to see it and who would benefit the most. By then, their own countries would probably be involved in the turmoil of the great power struggle.

They bowed to Emperor Xia and left immediately.

Emperor Xia looked at Lin Xiu and was extremely satisfied.

What is professionalism? This is professionalism!

Was his marriage granted for nothing? Was his house given for nothing? He paid an unknown amount of salary to the officials in the court every year. At the critical moment, wasn’t it Lin Xiu who could help him out?

When he looked at the ministers in the palace, his face gradually darkened.

“Why don’t you continue to impeach?”

“Where were you when Daxia was in crisis just now?”

“If I don’t favor capable and important ministers, should I favor some people who are in office but do nothing and are not useful?”

“When he defeated the geniuses of other countries in the competition, you could only watch. When he stepped forward to investigate the case and saved Daxia from danger, you were like turtles in front of me…”

“He doesn’t deserve my favor, do you?”

…

In the imperial study, Emperor Xia was spitting and talking non-stop, almost pointing at the noses of the ministers and scolding them.

Since he ascended the throne, he has never scolded so happily.

The crown prince, the king of Qi, and their followers all lowered their heads and dared not even breathe.

That Lin Xiu is too outrageous.

Go and come back as soon as you say.

He will be back soon.

In the imperial study, everyone was still discussing the deadline for the investigation, but he had already caught the murderer. His speed was not only reflected in martial arts, but also in all aspects.

Now, compared with Lin Xiu, the Crown Prince and the King of Qi are simply two pieces of trash.

They originally wanted to take this opportunity to make His Majesty change his mind and change the candidate for marriage with Fusang Tianjiao to the Crown Prince or the King of Qi.

Now, even as the followers of the Crown Prince and the King of Qi, everyone had to ask in their hearts.

Are they worthy?
