Chapter 34: Let me try

Let me try

In public, under the eyes of everyone, Xiao Ru had actually died just like that!

The courtyard was terrifyingly quiet. Everyone stared wide-eyed at the fallen Xiao Ru, wanting to scream in terror, only to find they couldn't even make a sound!

As for Nie Jinxuan, who had been held by the throat by Xiao Ru, she could only stand there blankly. It wasn't until quite a while later that she suddenly came to her senses. She looked down at Xiao Ru, but then, when she moved her feet, she couldn't help but stagger... Yet, just as Nie Jinxuan thought she was about to make a fool of herself in public, she was suddenly supported by someone.

Nie Jinxuan was somewhat surprised. She looked up abruptly and met Yin Fengzhan's cold eyes.

"Uh..."

For a moment, Nie Jinxuan didn't know what to say. But at this time, Yin Fengzhan's attention was clearly not on her. After steadying Nie Jinxuan, Yin Fengzhan walked forward directly.

"Gu Hong, take the body away!"

Lowering his gaze to look at Xiao Ru's corpse, after saying this, Yin Fengzhan turned and left.

With Yin Fengzhan's departure, the crowd dispersed, and the turmoil seemed to have subsided just like that.

But Nie Jinxuan knew clearly, how could things just end like this? So, after the crowd left, Nie Jinxuan went to the study to find Yin Fengzhan, but ended up finding it empty.

Yin Fengzhan was not in the study, which didn't surprise Nie Jinxuan. Afterwards, she went to the room in the Houyuaner where the body was kept, and sure enough, she ran into Yin Fengzhan there. However, also in the room at this time were Gu Hong and the old Coroner of the Ministry of Punishments, Meng Xian.

Nie Jinxuan didn't know Meng Xian, but seeing him examining Xiao Ru's body, she immediately understood the other party's identity. She didn't say much, quietly walked to Yin Fengzhan's side, and then pursed her lips in silence.

As for Nie Jinxuan's arrival, Yin Fengzhan also didn't say anything. His eyes turned slightly to glance at her, and then he shifted his gaze back.

The small room was deathly silent. Yin Fengzhan and the others watched the old Coroner Meng Xian examine the body with rapt attention. After quite a while, Meng Xian finally straightened his back, looked up at Yin Fengzhan, and said:

"Your Highness, the cause of death is that someone used a hidden weapon to shoot into the head, causing instant death!"

Meng Xian spoke with a calm face. Hearing this, Yin Fengzhan's eyes flashed instantly.

"The head?"

"Yes, Your Highness, please look!"

As he spoke, Meng Xian reached out and pointed. Following the direction of his finger, one could indeed see a tiny red dot in the center of Xiao Ru's paper-white forehead!

The red dot was very small, so small that it was about the size of a needle prick! Seeing this, Nie Jinxuan was slightly startled, while Yin Fengzhan narrowed his eyes.

"Can the hidden weapon be taken out?"

"Of course, but it will take some effort. After all, the hidden weapon is completely embedded in the deceased's head, so we must open the skull to retrieve it."

Meng Xian reported truthfully. Hearing this, Yin Fengzhan naturally understood and nodded slightly.

"En, since that is the case, then I will trouble you!"

Saying this, Yin Fengzhan turned to leave... But at this moment, seeing that Yin Fengzhan was actually leaving, Nie Jinxuan, who had been standing to the side without saying a word, was taken aback, but then pursed her lips.

"Wait a moment!"

Calling out to Yin Fengzhan, without explaining to him, she walked directly to Meng Xian's side.

"Old gentleman, may I try?" ===== CHAPTER 35 =====
