”She can't die.” The man who blocked the attack for Su Li pulled her behind him.
Su Li swallowed his saliva. Looking at the man's back, he didn't know why the man would help him.
”You want to protect her?”
”Please, she can't die.” The man insisted.
”Lah …” The masked man from before let out a few weird laughs, ”You dare to disobey me?”
”If you truly want to kill her, then kill me as well.”
”Okay …” I hope you don't regret it. ” After the masked man finished speaking, his gaze landed on Su Li for a moment. Then, he leapt up and left the alleyway.
Su Li subconsciously retreated a few steps, creating some distance between him and the man, ”Who are you?”
The man turned to look at her. ”I advise you not to investigate any further.”
”Who the hell are you?”
The man didn't answer, just flew out of the alley like the man before him.
Su Li chased a few steps, but the man was already gone. She helplessly stomped her feet, and quickly left the alleyway.
She returned to the Fifth Prince's Mansion and waited for an hour before Mo Lianjin returned with his people.
”How is it?” Su Li asked first.
Mo Lianjin's face was slightly pale, his eyebrows twisted, ”Dead, the poison in his mouth, I sent someone to show it to Feng Jiu.”
”I suspect that there is a stronghold in the capital, and there is more than one person behind the scenes. Perhaps, it is an organization.”
Su Li recounted what happened just now, and before she could say anything else, Mo Lianjin had already approached her and grabbed her shoulder with a look of extreme worry.
”Are you hurt?”
”No …” ”Yes.” Su Li shook her head while stuttering. Mo Lianjin's worry had ruthlessly knocked at the bottom of her heart, she just felt that he was different from how he was in the past.
Mo Lianjin retracted his hand, and returned to his own seat, ”If there is an organization backing you, then there will definitely be a leader, I will first bring you to see that woman's corpse.”
”Alright.”
The two of them went to the secret passageway from last time. In the basement, besides that room, there was also a secret passageway that led to the outside of the Prince's Mansion.
After going through the secret passage, Su Li looked around. It was an unremarkable house, its exact location unknown.
In the east wing of the house, Feng Jiu was looking over the body of the Tea Flower.
The way he looked at the corpse was different from Su Li's method.
Su Li used a scalpel to directly cut through areas where the corpse might have left clues, but Feng Jiu felt like he was taking his pulse.
When Su Li arrived, only then did he withdraw his hand from Su Hua's wrist.
”It's the gum that Death Soldiers usually use to hide poison. The only thing that's interesting is that her muscles and bones have been remodeled.”
”Is there anything else on her body?” Su Li asked.
Feng Jiu pointed to the table, ”The only things I found on her are those.”
Su Li walked over and looked at the items on the table.
It was all a woman's hair and accessories, nothing else.
However, there was one thing that caught her attention.
It was the tasseled end of a pouch, and was weaved together by four pearls at the center. It didn't look like anything much, but it was very similar to the pearl she had found.
Su Li took out the ones he picked up and compared them with them. They were all white, and they were made from the same material.
Seeing Su Li staring at the tassel, Mo Lianjin asked, ”Is there something wrong?”
”I don't know, but I still feel a little strange. If we were facing an organization, then they would have the same tasseled pearl, could it be their symbol or symbol?”
