At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through the Eighth Prince's mind. Should he surrender? Could he explain it clearly?
Or fight his way out? But if he fights his way out, will that confirm his guilt?
What would he do in the future? What else could he do after losing his status as a prince?
These constables in front of him were all from the Six Gates, and he had done a favor to the leader of the Six Gates.
But with so many people and so many eyes watching, it is impossible to suppress such a big thing.
Finally, after thinking for a moment, the Eighth Prince gave up resistance, sheathed his sword, and said:
"Everyone, I heard the screams and came in to watch. I was afraid of a sneak attack, so I drew my sword to defend myself.
None of this has anything to do with me.”
The golden captain of the police force who came here felt the situation was tricky. He received a letter inexplicably while in the city.
It said that someone was trying to assassinate the prince and marked the location, although these things should not be fully trusted.
But he found out that the tenth prince had left the city early in the morning.
Just in case, he came anyway, and saw this scene as soon as he entered.
However, seeing that the Eighth Prince was willing to surrender, the golden captain breathed a sigh of relief.
If a conflict really breaks out and weapons are used, everything will be bad.
"Your Highness the Eighth Prince, I'm sorry." The man apologized.
He took the shackles from his men, but ultimately did not put them on Zhao Li.
He just disarmed Zhao Li, and then sent someone to the Six Gates to invite the leader over, and also notified the palace, the Ministry of Justice, etc.
Protect the scene well and wait until the coroner arrives to determine the outcome.
It was only early morning, but several streaks of light appeared in the sky.
The first to arrive was the leader of the Six Gates - Ghost Eye Bai Luo, a powerful man who had suppressed the martial arts world for the imperial court for thirty years. After being injured, it was the Eighth Prince who healed his injuries.
He looked short, skinny, and had white hair.
The exposed parts of his face and hands were covered with scars, and he didn't look like a strong man at all.
When Poirot saw this scene, he, being the best coroner himself, examined the body of the Tenth Prince.
The time and cause of death were roughly determined, as well as the prince's tokens scattered around and the broken and collapsed stone walls.
He looked at Zhao Li, who was standing in the corner with mixed emotions, and immediately understood the truth of the matter.
"Eighth Prince, please be careful.
Tell me why you came here and what happened here. Don't be nervous."
Bai Luo used his inner strength to stimulate his abdominal cavity to speak. He had lost the ability to speak in that battle.
He asked the Eighth Prince, hoping that he could tell the truth.
The Eighth Prince had no choice but to tell the Tenth Prince about his invitation and everything that happened this morning.
He then took out a letter from the Tenth Prince to prove that it was the Tenth Prince Zhao Yuan who invited him, and that he had merely suffered an unprovoked misfortune.
"I understand." Poirot looked at the letter. How this case would be classified would depend on what His Majesty said.
If I want to help Zhao Li, I need evidence.
The best evidence is to find out who the real murderer is. In this way, the Eighth Prince will naturally be cleared of suspicion.
After thinking for a moment, a powerful aura landed on the ground, undoubtedly another supreme grandmaster.
The man was dressed in black and had a black mask covering his face, making it impossible to see his features.
It was An Ling, the leader of Da Gan's secret guards. An Ling said in an unrecognizable voice, "Master Bai, please check as soon as possible.
Your Majesty will ask the question in person."
Poirot nodded and had it checked again carefully, keeping a record.
After doing all this, the body of the tenth prince was buried.
If it were someone else, they would probably have to wait until the case was solved before burying the body, so that more evidence could be preserved.
But now that the royal bloodline is involved, we can't just wait like this.
------------
In the palace, Emperor Zhao Yue was extremely angry.
He had just finished attending the morning court and had not yet taken off his court robes when he received the news of the Tenth Prince's death.
How could they not be furious? Seeing Zhao Yuan's corpse at this moment, a vast aura emanated from them, making it hard for them to breathe.
Only the Grand Steward, the Commander of the Secret Guards, and the Master of the Six Gates who were present at the scene, with their cultivation as supreme grandmasters, would not be affected too much.
He never liked Zhao Yuan very much. He was just a prince born to a palace maid, but he was still his own child after all.
Moreover, he is a great prince. If someone can assassinate the prince today, will someone dare to assassinate the emperor tomorrow?
This is the real reason why he is angry. The royal majesty cannot be touched.
"Did you do this?" Zhao Yue looked down at Zhao Li who was kneeling on the ground, with golden light in his eyes.
This question seemed light, but Zhao Li felt that these five words were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and each word weighed on his soul.
A golden dragon was constantly gnawing at his soul, and his thinking speed slowed down.
I could only grit my teeth, strain my strength, and answer word by word with difficulty:
"No... I killed... my tenth brother. I beg... Father... to investigate and severely punish the murderer."
After saying this, Zhao Li felt like he had lost all his strength.
But when Emperor Da Gan heard the answer, he still did not retract his momentum and continued, "I will investigate.
Poirot, you were the one who saw this incident. Could you please tell me in detail? Do you have any clues?"
The Six Gates Master, Bai Luo, nodded and stepped forward, saying respectfully:
"His Highness the Tenth Prince died from a punch to the heart.
