Chapter 635: Killing using Someone Else’s Hand! (1/2)

His eldest son was lost. How could he, a father, not be anxious?

“You said the First Prince went out last night? About what time?” Bai Xiaofei plausibly asked. An Bang Ting, who never even thought of doubting him, poured all his hope on him.

“Very early in the morning, before dawn. The soldiers guarding the entrance and his attending maids and eunuchs all said so. This is definitely the right information,” An Bang Ting recounted everything for fear of any omission.

“The people in his palace didn’t know who was looking for him?” Bai Xiaofei frowned and wore a contemplating expression.

“No, they said they only heard a loud scream, and then Ming’er ran out in a hurry.”

“What about Liu Rushi?” asked Bai Xiaofei. This instantly put anger on An Bang Ting’s face.

“He is gone as well! And Ming’er’s people said that when Ming’er left, he kept mumbling something about his master!” An Bang Ting clenched his fists. “If something happens to Ming’er because of him, he will not get away with it!”

Bai Xiaofei couldn’t help a sigh. That’s not gonna happen. After all, he’s already dead. But hey, it’s actually possible to satisfy your thirst for revenge.

“I can only do my best, but I can’t be certain that I’ll be able to find him,” Bai Xiaofei said and squatted down to face Huskie. “Huskie, do you remember the First Prince’s smell?”

Finally! Huskie, who had taken another Crystal’s Longing from Bai Xiaofei last night, had already memorized his script. When Bai Xiaofei asked, he immediately nodded and barked twice.

Bai Xiaofei immediately donned a delighted expression and looked up at An Bang Ting. “Can I mobilize the royal guards?”

“This is my token. You can command the royal guards with it!” An Bang Ting took out a glittering token.

Receiving it, Bai Xiaofei’s heart jumped a little. It seemed that An Bang Ting’s abdication was really just talk. The strongest force in the whole imperial city had never left his control!

However, now wasn’t the time to be pondering about this. What Bai Xiaofei needed to do was finish his own play.

First, he ordered a lockdown at the city gates that had just been opened in the morning. Then, he led a team of royal guards after Huskie and almost circled the whole city. Finally, he found An Ming’s body in a dry well.

It didn’t stop there. They sent An Ming’s body back to the palace before Bai Xiaofei continued the search with the guards. This time they were looking for the killer.

“You can just go in and see.” Bai Xiaofei made a ‘go ahead’ gesture.

The commander waved his hand and a group of guards rushed into the house from the doors and windows. However, there wasn’t even a shadow inside.

“Woof woof!” As the commander was about to report to Bai Xiaofei, Huskie suddenly ran to a corner and barked.

The commander’s eyes lit up. He hurriedly went over, and after careful inspection, was delighted.

“Break it open!”

The guards immediately acted. It didn’t take long for the area to be cleared as a tunnel appeared in front of everyone.
