Otherwise he would really be in a dilemma.

"What do you mean by a good man?" Fan Xian asked puzzledly.

"Ah? Oh, no, I mean, a male ninth-grade is easier to identify!" Wang Qinian said casually, then immediately changed the subject and asked, "Sir, what are the characteristics of the other party?"

The two men walked out of the General's Mansion.

Fan Xian thought for a moment and replied, "He used a long sword, similar in shape to a horizontal blade! His attacks were clean and sharp, and he exuded a murderous aura!"

"A ninth-rank cultivator who wields a knife?" Wang Qinian frowned and said, "In Daqing, there are a few ninth-rank cultivators who wield swords, but ninth-rank cultivators who wield knives are much rarer. For the moment, I can't think of any ninth-rank cultivator who wields a knife!"

"She might be a hidden ninth-grade master!" Fan Xian analyzed. "Don't forget, the Blue Bird in the Third Prince's mansion was at the ninth-grade realm when she first attacked. Before that, no one knew she was a ninth-grade master!"

Wang Qinian's heart trembled when he heard this. After looking at Fan Xian with a guilty look, Wang Qinian asked softly, "Your Excellency, are you suspicious of the Third Prince?"

Fan Xian didn't answer, but instead asked, "How's your investigation going?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qinian hurriedly took out a token from his pocket and handed it to Li Chengyuan, saying, "This is the token of the Northern Qi secret agent!"

"Token?"

"Northern Qi has a secret agent lurking in my Qing Kingdom, relying on this token to mobilize subordinates and command their actions!"

"So, Cheng Jushu is a secret agent of Northern Qi?"

"Most likely!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian laughed at himself.

"I'm truly honored! An unknown big shot teamed up with Northern Qi spies just to kill me!"

"Sir, the matter is getting bigger and bigger. Are you still investigating?"

"Investigate! Teng Zijing's death must not be in vain! I won't stop until I find the real culprit!"

"But now all the clues are gone!"

Fan Xian's eyes flickered, and after a moment of contemplation, he suddenly said, "Not necessarily!"

As they walked, Fan Xian analyzed, "Let's forget the identity of the mastermind, forget the involvement of Northern Qi spies, forget the smuggling of weapons, forget the lieutenant general's escape!"

"But have you forgotten what we are investigating?"

"Forget all the details and focus on the assassination itself. Why did Cheng Jushu and the female assassin want to kill me on Niulan Street?"

Wang Qinian followed up, "You were going to Zuixianju that day, so you had to pass by Niulan Street!"

"How did they know?"

"Maybe they don't know and are just following you secretly, waiting for an opportunity to attack you!"

"Impossible! That day, two assassins attacked from both sides, and Cheng Jushu hid behind the wall. They had prepared the ambush in advance and knew I would pass through Niulan Street!"

"Then who else knows that you are going to Zuixianju?"

“A lot of people might know!”

"Relatives in the mansion?"

“It has nothing to do with them!”

"Could it be that the news was leaked accidentally?"

"Don't think too much, the person who asked me out will naturally know!"

"Second Prince?"

"If he is really the Second Prince, the suspicion is too great and will only arouse suspicion!"

"That...is the third prince?" Wang Qinian couldn't help swallowing.

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice, "He is the most likely one!"

"!!!" Wang Qinian was dumbfounded. "No, sir, you and the Third Prince have no grudges against each other. He wouldn't kill you, would he?"

Fan Xian said coldly, "I just arrived in Kyoto and he's been targeting me. No one knows whether he has a grudge against me or not!

Also, don't forget that the person who stopped me today was an unknown ninth-rank master.

Think about it, in the entire capital, besides the Third Prince, who else has had an unknown ninth-grade master appear in their residence?"

Wang Qinian was completely stunned.

He really didn't want to admit that this matter had anything to do with the Third Prince.

But he had to admit that Fan Xian's analysis seemed to make some sense!

The main thing is that Wang Qinian still doesn’t know what the Third Prince’s attitude towards Fan Xian is!

Sometimes even Wang Qinian suspected that Li Chengyuan was the real murderer behind the Niulan Street assassination.

But he has been avoiding this speculation!

He didn't dare to think so!

"Sir!" Wang Qinian said in a trembling voice, "You mean we should investigate the Third Prince now?"

Fan Xian shook his head and said, "He's a prince, and I'm just an illegitimate child. What right do you have to investigate him?"

"But if we don't investigate the Third Prince, won't the clues be lost again?"

"Who said that?" Fan Xian asked in a serious tone, "Don't forget, besides the Second and Third Princes, there are other people in Zuixianju who know about my attendance at the banquet!"

Wang Qinian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly his heart was shocked.

"Are you talking about Miss Si Lili from Zuixianju?"

"That's right!" Fan Xian analyzed, "Since we had an appointment in advance, Zuixianju would have prepared a banquet, so Si Lili must have known that I would be passing by Niulan Street!

Also, think about it, there are so many girls in Zuixianju, why does the second prince insist on finding Si Lili to accompany him?

Also, I heard from Prince Jing that Si Lili was once a famous courtesan in Zuixianju.

Countless people fell in love with her.

Later, the third prince conquered her with a poem and took her virginity!

But the strange thing is, since then, the Third Prince has never visited her once. Why do you think that is?"

Wang Qinian's brain was working rapidly, trying desperately to make amends for Li Chengyuan.

"Maybe the Third Prince doesn't like Si Lili?"

"If that's the case, then why did Si Lili close the ship and stop accepting other guests?"

Wang Qinian swallowed again.

"So, sir, what is your guess?"

"It's very simple. If I'm not mistaken, the Third Prince should have known that there was something fishy about Si Lili's identity a long time ago.

And he had already reached some kind of cooperative relationship with Si Lili.

It's just that they never meet in public because they want to avoid suspicion.

But who knows whether they have met privately?"

After listening to Fan Xian's analysis, Wang Qinian's head was buzzing.

"So, your Excellency is saying that the real culprits of the Niulan Street assassination are the Third Prince and Si Lili?"

Fan Xian said, "Whether it's related to the Third Prince is still uncertain.

But I'm sure this matter has something to do with Si Lili!"

"So now we are going to Zuixianju to investigate Si Lili?"

"Exactly!"

...

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at Zuixianju.

However, when I got here, I found that Zuixianju had closed down.

After asking around, I learned that because Si Lili's flower boat was burned and the government was solving the case, they were temporarily closed!

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian's face froze instantly.

Wang Qinian also felt dry mouth.

Si Lili suddenly burned the boat and left, which proved that she must also be a spy from Northern Qi.

This means that Fan Xian’s analysis just now may be true!

(Qian Zhao's)

Could it be that the Niulan Street assassination was really done by the Third Prince?

Wang Qinian was really confused at this moment!

He really didn't want Li Chengyuan to do this.

Because in his heart, Li Chengyuan has always been an approachable, sincere and friendly person.

But if it was Li Chengyuan who planned to assassinate Fan Xian, doesn't that mean that the Third Prince is also a person who disregards his own life and takes human lives lightly?

Wang Qinian really didn't want to accept this fact.

But inexplicably, he wanted to find out the truth.

However, Fan Xian was somewhat disheartened at this time.

"At this point, there are really no clues left!"

Upon seeing this, Wang Qinian immediately said, "Sir, don't lose heart. We can go find Si Lili. As long as we find her, we'll have a clue!"

"Didn't you hear someone just now? Si Lili has already left the city and has been gone for most of the day!"

Wang Qinian bowed and replied, "Don't worry, sir. You don't know that this Inspection Institute has two great tracking experts. One is called Zong Zhui, and the other is none other than me!"

"!!!" Fan Xian was stunned at first, then he was overjoyed!

......

At the same time, Li Chengyuan also returned to Prince Li's Mansion.

Mr. Thirteen and Gong Yu were waiting for him in the mansion.
