Chapter 125 - COMBINING CURRENT EVIDENCE (1/2)

”THEN let me start first,” Duan Yu said.  ”The setting of this character is that of a godly doctor who travels around the world.  And by 'world' I mean the four kingdoms inside this door.  This town we're in is located at the Kingdom of Beitang.  At the west of this Kingdom is Wei.  That's where the godly doctor was before he traveled back here.

”When he was at Wei, he discovered a somewhat alarming news.  Wei was planning to siege war against Beitang.  He's an arrogant jerk but he still considers Beitang as his home.  He doesn't want it to be ravaged by war, so he immediately planned to return.  On his way to the capital, he met the crown prince.  And thus ended up here.  That's most of the information I have.”

Luo Yan almost frowned.  Why the heck was this guy's character introduction so comprehensive?  While he only got 'Shishi'– the proud number one courtesan of Yuexing Pavilion.

”My role doesn't have much character introduction.  All the information on this character's profile is related to the crown prince,” Shen Ji Yun then said next.  ”The crown prince didn't come here to celebrate his Uncle's birthday but to investigate.  Countless assassination attempt this month led him here.  If it was normal, he wouldn't think any of it.  Because people had been trying to kill him since he was born.  But this past month, the assassination attempts just doubled.  Clearly, someone wanted him to die as quickly as possible.

”The investigation led straight to Prince Lin Rong.  The crown prince didn't want to believe that immediately.  Because all the breadcrumbs pointed straight to him.  It was too easy, too obvious.  So he decided to attend his uncle's birthday banquet.  To ask him personally.  He didn't tell it to the Emperor because he didn't want to cause a rift between the two brothers.”

This time, Luo Yan did frown.  Even Shen Ji Yun had important information with him.  Wasn't this simply discrimination?  Maybe that King really does hate him.  That heartless bastard.  Then the two looked at him, their eyes telling him that it's your turn now to speak.

He sighed.  ”I don't have any significant information currently attach to this identity.  Although, I witnessed something earlier before our performance in the banquet.” That's probably the only information he could contribute.  ”I saw the fiancé of now dead second young miss having a rendezvous with a maid.  They were passionately professing their love to each other.”

”At one glance, it looked as if each information we have were unrelated to each other.  But if one looks closely, maybe we can see the link that connects them from one another,” Duan Yu said.  ”These three mysteries presented to us, I think they create a much bigger mystery.  What do you two think?”

Well, Luo Yan had to agree with Uriel.  These clues they had seemed to be all unrelated but the probability of them being connected to one another was very high.  It might not be as obvious just like Uriel said.  But the link was definitely there.  The fact that the three mystery prompt were all triggered during this banquet was evident enough.

Although there's a chance that one mystery might not be related to the other two, something that happened tonight definitely led to it.  Like a cause and effect.  And yes, he's talking about the third mystery.  About what happened to the second young miss.  Because out of all the three, the first and second mystery definitely seemed connected to one another.  Being both assassination attempt and all.

”I also feel the same,” he said, agreeing to what Uriel said.  ”There's probably a bigger conspiracy going on here.”

Shen Ji Yun turned to Uriel.  ”You said that the poison that caused Prince Lin Rong to collapse was from Wei?”

Duan Yu nodded.  ”Not just from Wei, it could only be found on Wei.  It's a colorless and odorless substance that is impossible to detect.  Unless you have the skills of a godly doctor, that is.”

”Is that part of your current Temporary Skills?” Luo Yan asked.
