Xia Chujian raised an eyebrow but didn't comment. However, she scoffed inwardly, thinking, this guy is really cunning...
He had pushed Qiu Shenju to take the blame for him before, but now that the Dog Emperor was dead, he didn't have to worry about being sandwiched between the Dog Emperor and himself, so he hurried back.
A group of people were having a meeting and a barbecue in the hall of the manor.
A large virtual display screen is projected onto one wall of the hall.
Playing on the display screen was a program hosted by a female anchor of the Beichen Empire Royal Television.
Xia Chujian put a piece of freshly roasted beef into his mouth and chewed it carefully.
Then, she heard the female anchor say with a sad face: "His Majesty was assassinated and the murderer is still at large."
"The royal family and clan members, led by Empress Li Fengen, have today summoned representatives of the nobility, members of the Senate, heads of the cabinet, and senior military officials to discuss arrangements for His Majesty's funeral."
Then the scene changed, and a magnificent hall appeared.
A group of people at the top of the empire's power were sitting on both sides of a long table, apparently having a meeting.
The graceful and elegant Queen Li Fengen sat at the head of the table, all in white, save for a faintly emerald green hairpin pinned below her high bun, holding her thick, inky black hair in place.
At this moment, Empress Li Feng'en's face was filled with sorrow. She sighed and said, "Your Majesty's sudden death pains me deeply."
"Now that ten days have passed, I wonder how the Correctional Department and the Special Security Bureau are progressing in their search for the murderer?"
The Department of Corrections falls under the Cabinet Department of Justice.
The Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice is from the Li family and is a relative of the Queen Li Fengen.
He was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the murderer is being tracked down."
"But the other party is very cunning, and we currently have no clues."
Queen Li Fengen frowned and said unhappily, "How come there are no clues?"
"Although I'm not a professional in this area, I know that at least during the forensic autopsy, many clues can be found."
"For example, the trajectory of the bullet, or the shape of the knife edge and the nature of the knife wound, which can be used to determine the characteristics of the murder weapon."
"Also, many of the royal guards who were present at the time saw the murderer commit the crime with their own eyes. Isn't that enough?"
The middle-aged man from the Nali clan smiled bitterly and said, "... Queen, the internet on that road was blocked at the time, and all surveillance was ineffective."
"Even the cameras on the simulated drones were broken, and the memory sticks were shattered into pieces."
"We had our best technicians inspect them, and they all said the memory sticks were physically damaged and could not be repaired, let alone restored."
"And those surveillance systems don't have their own memory sticks, so they rely on the network to transmit data to the cloud in real time."
"What a pity, I didn't capture anything."
"So, only the guards who rushed over to protect the emperor in time and... Ms. Ying Wuxin saw the murderer with their own eyes."
"But the murderer was covered from head to toe in a mecha with a wolf's head and a dragon's body."
"Not only has the Beichen Empire never had such a mecha, but even the former Dongtianyuan Divine Kingdom, the Southern Cross Principality, and the Ximaneli Federation have never had one."
"Not to mention the appearance, even the performance is not comparable to the current second-generation mechas of the Empire."
"Furthermore, our on-site trace experts have conducted multiple inspections and concluded that the murderer was not only wearing high-level mechas that far surpassed our empire's highest technology, but also that his own genetic evolution level must be extremely high."
"There were almost no traces left by the man at the scene."
"The only thing that can be considered a trace is where your Majesty's head was cut off."
"We can confirm that the murder weapon was an ordinary high-frequency vibration war blade. The Beichen Empire produces 10 billion of these blades a year."
"The service life of this battle blade is twenty years."
"Even if we only count the war blades produced in the past ten years, there are still 100 billion."
"And this kind of battle blade isn't unique; it doesn't even have a number."
"It's just like an ordinary kitchen knife in everyone's home. How can I catch it?"
"Are we going to check them one by one?!"
Queen Li Fengen seemed unaware of these details and pondered, "The surveillance and simulated drone monitoring are both ineffective, and the network has been blocked. Doesn't this explain the problem?"
The middle-aged man from the Nali clan smiled wryly and said, "That proves something... The network control device Your Majesty was carrying at the time was able to achieve this effect."
Queen Li Fengen was shocked: "No way? You mean, all this was caused by Your Majesty himself?!"
"But Your Majesty, why are all surveillance and the internet blocked?!"
The middle-aged man from the Li family continued to smile bitterly: "It's a pity that His Majesty is no longer here, otherwise if I asked him in person, there might be some results..."
The implication is that now that the emperor is dead, what's the point in asking these questions?
Queen Li Fengen raised her swan neck and changed the subject: "What about the murder weapon? If it's just an ordinary high-frequency vibration battle blade, can it kill Your Majesty?"
"Did you make a mistake somewhere?"
"You are aware of His Majesty's genetic evolution level."
"Even the Destroyer No. 1 sniper rifle can't harm His Majesty!"
The middle-aged man from the Li family said solemnly, "This result has been collectively confirmed by technicians from the Special Security Bureau, the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ministry of Justice, the General Armaments Department of the Military, and the technicians from the Li, Zong, and Quan families."
