Mu Chenshuang looked at the contents recorded in the case file, which mainly included the death certificate given by the coroner at the time and the people involved in the investigation.
The death certificate stated the cause of death. Madam Mu had a pre-existing condition, and the assassination that day occurred when her condition relapsed. Madam Mu's fatal wound was from a poisoned dart, and the poison on the dart was Yin-Yang Flower.
Based on the on-site investigation, the focus was on the Dark Night Assassins. The final conclusion was that someone had bribed the assassins to assassinate Madam Mu. However, the mastermind behind this has not yet been found. Unless the core members of the Dark Night Assassins can be captured, they will definitely have records. But as the most powerful assassin organization in the Xuanzhou Continent, capturing the core members of the organization will not be an easy task.
"Madam Mu's death has become a cold case. Over the years, the Ministry of Justice has been investigating it, but it has involved assassins from the martial arts world. Because Madam Mu had been following Lord Mu on the frontier and had not offended anyone in the capital, the case has made no progress."
Mu Chenshuang looked at the contents of the dossier and then put her hand down. "Nan Zhi, do you really think there's been no progress at all?"
Shen Nanzhi's eyes darkened. "Shuang'er, do you have someone you suspect?"
Facing Shen Nanzhi, Mu Chenshuang did not hide her guess, "Besides Lu Wei, I really can't think of a second person."
"Madam Lu?" Shen Nanzhi was slightly surprised. "However, given Madam Lu's situation at the time, she shouldn't have been able to come into contact with the assassins of the Dark Night Organization. I heard that Madam Lu and your mother had a very harmonious relationship back then."
Years ago, Lord Mu was saved by Lu Wei. In their youthful passion, the two had a relationship, which resulted in Lu Wei becoming pregnant. When Lord Mu met with Madam Mu, he told her the truth. Everyone knew that Lord Mu and Madam Mu loved each other deeply back then, making them an enviable couple. Lord Mu even vowed that he would only have Madam Mu for the rest of his life. But fate had other plans.
Madam Mu eventually accepted Lu Wei, and according to what others said, the two did not have any conflicts or disagreements.
Mu Chenshuang might not have doubted these words before, but after learning Lu Wei's identity, she realized that their meeting back then was probably a premeditated scheme.
"You probably don't know Lu Wei's true identity?"
Shen Nanzhi asked, puzzled, "Shuang'er, what do you mean by that?"
“Lu Wei is an informant planted in the Mu family mansion by the Chengtian Bureau. Lu Wei’s first meeting with my father and her subsequent entry into the mansion were probably a planned conspiracy, so Lu Wei absolutely cannot be allowed to live.”
Mu Chenshuang told Shen Nanzhi about this because she knew in her heart that Shen Nanzhi was someone she could completely trust.
Shen Nan was greatly shocked, but upon closer examination, it made perfect sense. The Imperial Observatory was secretly investigating the information of all officials in the capital. It could be said that the entire capital was under the watchful eyes of the Imperial Observatory, and its covert network was enormous. If one was not careful, it could lead to death.
"If my guess is correct, when the entire Libei Prince's family was executed, there must have been a close and vital figure among them."
Shen Nanzhi looked at her and said, "Actually, I came here today to talk to you about the Libei Prince's Mansion. However, your suspicion is indeed correct. Chen Jiang, the confidant of the Libei Prince, followed him through thick and thin, saving his life several times. He was the most trusted person of the Libei Prince. However, when I looked through the files, I found that Chen Jiang left the capital before the incident at the Libei Prince's Mansion. According to the records, he was dispatched by the military to Xuzhou, but he encountered a flood on his way there and unfortunately died."
Shen Nanzhi only came into contact with the secret documents concerning the Libei Prince's Mansion because he had now accepted the Libei Army.
"Since this General Chen is a confidant of the King of Libei, he could easily fabricate evidence that the King of Libei is plotting a rebellion, but there is no point in saying that now."
Shen Nanzhi said solemnly, "Indeed."
"But what exactly is it that you want to talk about, Nan Zhi?"
Shen Nanzhi took out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to Mu Chenshuang, asking, "Shuang'er, does this jade pendant look familiar?"
