Pei Ku wanted to explain a few things, but Han Qianqian was bland and stood quietly in place, waiting.
He believed that it was absolutely impossible for the Second Elder to still be within the main city.
Sure enough, just ten minutes later, the group of old members of the Prince’s Party who had rushed out earlier returned, one by one, heads bowed.
“I know, you guys would love to slap me in the face hard and messy, it’s just a pity …… that you don’t have such an opportunity, Second Elder, you shouldn’t be able to bring it, right?” Han Qianqian sneered softly.
“The second elder is an elder of the Pei family, usually busy with official duties, do you think they are all as idle as you are?”
“He’s bound to be out at the moment, so don’t be too proud, when he comes back, that’ll be the day we smack you in the face.”
A few of them were still not soft-spoken, and they were still trying to dislike Han Qianqian.
Han Qianqian smiled and looked at Pei Gu, “Master Pei, it’s already obvious.”
“Three thousand, please also enlighten me.”
Han Qianqian pointed his hand at the levitating platform and said, “I have observed the surroundings, there are high walls all around, and there are guards standing outside the main gate, so anyone who wants to enter the Hall of Souls to steal the corpse is almost like dreaming.”
“That hovering board, although it looks like a decoration, is actually a hiding place for thieves.”
“During the day, when people are not looking, he hides on it, and once the time is right, he comes down from it and steals the corpse to leave.”
“You can even send someone to check on it, I am sure that there are bound to be footprints left by him on that board.”
Pei Ku waved his hand widely, and several of his cronies immediately rushed over with a few soldiers.
Within a few moments, the cronies who had climbed up there could be heard shouting from inside towards the outside, “Footprints were indeed found up there.”
“The murderer, the Second Elder, actually wanted to take Pei Hu’s corpse out from the very beginning, only that, with so many people in the Spirit Hall, it was not easy for him to do so.”
“Therefore, he had already found a hiding place for himself in advance before setting up the spirit hall.”
Hearing Han Qianqian’s words, and in light of the evidence now, even those who were tough-talking were all silent at this time, unable to refute it for a while.
“Second Elder …… him …… how could he do such a thing?”
“Did he really use us to steal the Duke’s corpse?”
Han Qianqian smiled, “Because there were quite a few people guarding the spirit hall and he stole the corpse silently, so, after taking the corpse away for a long time, we never noticed.”
“I have thought carefully, it is highly likely that he left the city last night.”
“Immediately send people to all the city gates to check the exit records.” Pei Gu commanded.
“Slowly, by the way, have the people from all the city gates chase him all the way north, I believe that Second Elder, with Prince Pei’s corpse, must be heading towards the route that the Underworld Rain troops evacuated on in the first place.” Han Qianqian added.
The subordinate glanced at Pei Gu, who nodded.
“Brother Pei must be wondering why it was in that direction, right? Or, in the midst of wondering, did something suddenly occur to him?” Han Qianqian smiled and looked at him.
Looking at Han Qianqian’s eyes, Pei Ku froze fiercely, and in the next second, he suddenly thought of something: “You mean, the Forbidden Zone of Death?”
My Cure Game
That’s right, as soon as something happened to the Death Forbidden Zone back then, the Underworld Rain Ministry happened to send troops to attack the Pei Family’s main city.
Moreover, the speed of the Underworld Rain Ministry’s march was still like a ghost.
All this meant that there was a traitor in the Pei family, who had not only told Hei Yu about the Deathly Hallows at the first opportunity, but had even secretly planned the route to the main city.
In this way, they were able to arrive around the main city unnoticed and at exactly the right time, causing the Pei family to almost be completely annihilated in this catastrophe.
“Three thousand, do you mean that …… the second elder is a traitor to the Pei family?” Pei Gu doubted.
Han Three-thousand nodded and asked with a smile, “Could it be that the Pei family head thinks otherwise?”
“Report!”
Just then, an urgent shout once again rang out outside the hall ……
