While Zhao Chuchu was preparing to set up her business, something bad finally happened in the Xia clan.

Xia Chenglan died.

She was strangled to death by someone.

By the time her body was brought to the government bureau, it had already started rotting.

The government bureau summoned Zhang Qun. Zhang Qun recognized the body and realized it was Xia Chenglan. He almost fainted.

After that, he told the magistrate that Xia Chenglan had told him she would go back to the Xia clan the previous day. He thought that Xia Chenglan stayed the night at the Xia clan, so he didn’t search for her.

However, the magistrate immediately accused him of being a suspect and captured him.

Zhao Chuchu went to see Xia Chenglan’s body as well.

She could immediately tell that the red marks on Xia Chenglan’s neck were made after she had already died.

Xia Chenglan’s skull was completely broken, but no one could tell from the outside.

The murderer was an expert.

The coroner wasn’t able to find out the real cause of Xia Chenglan’s death.

Money could motivate anyone to do anything. Zhao Chucchu found it quite impressive that Xia Chengzhu was able to find a hitman of this standard.

Zhao Chuchu’s finger moved slightly.

Blood started seeping out from the back of Xia Chenglan’s head.

The coroner was shocked.

This reminded him to carefully investigate Xia Chenglan’s head. Then, he realized that her skull was completely broken.

Zhao Chuchu saw that the coroner had noticed Xia Chenglan’s head injury, so she left the scene.

She was planning to completely overthrow the Xia clan. How could she let Xia Chengzhu have his way?

The Xia clan owed this to the original owner’s mother. She had to make the Xia clan pay for what they had done.

Coincidentally, Qiao Heting and the Third Prince of the dynasty were in Guangqing Province as well.

The Third Prince came to Guangqing Province using the reason of recovering from his illness. The emperor sent several capable guards to follow him.

Now that there was such a murder case in the capital, the Third Prince went to the government bureau to check it.

The coroner was submitting the autopsy report to the magistrate. The Third Prince decided to take a look at the report. He noticed that Xia Chenglan’s skull was shattered, which made him feel that the case was more complicated than it seemed. He said, “Magistrate Li, Xia Chenglan is just an ordinary woman. She shouldn’t have anything to do with the outlaws and the underworld. Why did she die in the hands of someone so powerful?”

“Third Prince, we’re sending out officers to investigate the case as we speak.

We will have the results very soon. Please give us some time.”

“I don’t want to intervene with Guangqing Province’s internal affair, but this is a murder case. I wonder why the culprit did something so vicious. For the sake of the safety of the citizens here, I’ll send two people to help you, Magistrate

Magistrate Li started to sweat.

The Third Prince said that he was helping, but it simply meant that he wanted to intervene.

Yet, because he was a prince, magistrate Li didn’t dare to refuse his offer. He had no choice but to accept his help.

The Third Prince summoned two men who looked very ordinary.

After checking the wounds on Xia Chenglan, they immediately locked onto the culprit. “Sir, the way Xia Chenglan died is very similar to the way Yuan Dongfang kills people. He’s the only man in the underworld who likes to kill people by crushing their skulls.”

“Start investigating the whereabouts of Yuan Dongfang.”

“Yes, sir.”

Magistrate Li felt like he was just a decoration there.

The Third Prince managed to find clues just moments after arriving. He kept wiping off his sweat. He was worried that the Third Prince might blame him for being incapable.

“I’m feeling a little exhausted. They will bring over Yuan Dongfang to magistrate Li when they find him. Magistrate Li, please put in a bit more effort and try to find the culprit as soon as possible so this case doesn’t cause panic among the citizens,” the Third Prince said as he stood up.

“Yes, sir. I will follow your teachings carefully. Oh, by the way, Third Prince, I’ve ordered my men to arrange for your lodging tonight. Please have a good rest. I believe the journey here must have been quite exhausting. I will arrange

for a welcome banquet tonight.”

“There is no need to trouble so many people. My body is not very fit, so I can’t really attend functions that are too lively. Magistrate Li should focus on the more important stuff. I just came to Guangqing Province to recover from my illness. There is no need to let too many people know about my presence.”

“I understand.”

“Good.”

The Third Prince stood up and left.

Magistrate Li looked at the Third Prince’s figure as he left the room, feeling rather puzzled.

Didn’t the rumors say that the Third Prince didn’t have much time left? Did his condition really get better?

Magistrate Li didn’t know the answer, and he didn’t dare to get people to investigate this, so he could only ponder about it himself.

“Brother, why did you suddenly come to Guangqing Province? Did someone send you a message? Otherwise, how did you just happen to arrive when Xia Chenglans got murdered?” Qiao Heting suspected that Xie Heng might have sent a message to him.

The Third Prince smiled and said, “I’ve been staying in the Imperial City for a long time. It’s getting quite boring there. I came here for a change of place and to relax. Although I somehow managed to survive, it was only temporary. I would like to see more beautiful sceneries while I still have time.”

“You will be fine, brother.”

“There’s no need to console me. I know how my body is. Let’s go. How about we head to the Yuan clan? Are you not going to see your fiancée?”

The Third Prince changed the conversation and said jokingly.

Qiao Heting blushed a little and said, “Third Brother, please don’t make fun of me.”

“How was that making fun of you? It’s completely normal for people to get married at a certain age! I feel quite regretful that I can’t be like you. If I can, I would definitely want to try getting married.”
