Soon, everyone arrived at the scene of the incident, Cloud Palace.
Because of Xiang Yu's death, Cloud Palace was heavily surrounded by the imperial guards.
The guards and maids in Cloud Palace were also arrested and placed under strict surveillance, awaiting interrogation at any time.
Lu Ming, Ji Tianxing, and the rest walked into Cloud Palace and stood in the courtyard outside the living room.
Emperor Tian Xiang pointed to the living room a hundred steps away and took the initiative to introduce, "Lord, that is where my daughter was killed."
Lu Ming nodded and released his Divine Senses to cover the entire Cloud Palace, searching for any abnormalities.
That living room was the main target of his search.
Xiang Yu's body had long been carried away and kept carefully.
However, there were still bloodstains on the floor of the living room, still exuding a faint divine power.
Unfortunately, Lu Ming did not find any useful clues after searching for a long time.
Therefore, he turned to look at Emperor Tian Xiang and instructed, "Bring Xiang Yu's body here. I want to check it. Perhaps I will find something."
Emperor Tian Xiang hesitated and was about to nod in agreement.
However, Ji Tianxing waved his hands and said, "No need."
Lu Ming and Emperor Tian Xiang turned to look at him, puzzled.
"What do you mean?"
Ji Tianxing said calmly, "If the culprit could be identified from Xiang Yu's injuries, then the culprit would be too stupid."
Emperor Tian Xiang frowned and sneered. "Long Tian, you don't dare to look at my daughter's body because you are guilty and don't dare to face her?
Or are you deliberately trying to hide something? "
Lu Ming frowned and asked Ji Tianxing, "Besides checking Xiang Yu's body, what other methods do you have to prove your innocence?"
Ji Tianxing said with certainty, "That day, after I left, someone else came!"
It turned out that when Lu Ming used his Divine Senses to check on Cloud Palace, he was also using his special ability to check on the situation in Cloud Palace.
He used his special ability to turn back time to check on the situation in Cloud Palace on the day he left.
Although it had been a few days and even with the special ability, the clues he found were very vague.
However, he clearly found that after he left, someone did enter the living room.
Unfortunately, he was unable to detect that person's strength, nor could he discern his appearance or race.
"Are you sure?" Lu Ming's eyes lit up with anticipation.
Ji Tianxing nodded in confirmation. "Summon all the guards and maids of the Cloud Moving Palace and interrogate them. We'll know everything."
Emperor Tian Xiang frowned as if he wanted to say something, but he remained silent.
Following Ji Tianxing's suggestion, Lu Ming instructed the Emperor of Tian Xiang, "Bring the guards and maids here!"
Tian Xiang's Emperor acknowledged the order and waved his hand at the two Imperial Guards.
Not long after, two Imperial Guard Commanders escorted more than twenty guards and maids to the courtyard.
These guards and maids were all trembling with fear, lowering their heads in fear.
When they arrived at the courtyard, there was no need for anyone to speak. They all knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Lu Ming released a powerful Soul Suppression, shrouding all the guards and maids. He asked in a deep voice, "On the day of the incident, after Long Tian left the Cloud Palace, who else came?"
The guards and maids were already terrified. Shrouded by his Soul Suppression, they were all scared out of their wits. All of them lay on the ground with ashen faces, shivering like sieves.
Many people shook their heads, indicating that they did not know. However, two guards from the Bear Clan said in a trembling voice, "It's the State Preceptor … the State Preceptor came!"
Lu Ming got the answer he wanted. He waved his hand, indicating for the other guards and maids to leave.
Leaving only the two guards from the Bear Clan, Lu Ming asked again, "Tell me, why did the State Preceptor come? Why didn't he enter the living room? "
This time, without waiting for the two guards to answer, Emperor Tian Xiang took the initiative to explain, "Lord Territorial Lord, the State Preceptor taught Xiang Yu cultivation. The relationship between the master and disciple was very harmonious.
According to the usual practice, the State Preceptor taught Xiang Yu that day to clear her doubts …
The State Preceptor has explained this to me before. I believe that this matter has nothing to do with the State Preceptor! "
In Emperor Tian Xiang's opinion, anyone could have killed Xiang Yu except for the State Preceptor.
The State Preceptor was a highly respected senior. He had an upright character and there was nothing to criticize about him for thousands of years.
Moreover, the State Preceptor was loyal to the Tian Xiang Empire and doted on Xiang Yu a lot.
However, Lu Ming did not care about this. He glanced at Emperor Tian Xiang and said expressionlessly, "You knew that the State Preceptor came. Why didn't you say so earlier?
No matter how much you trust the State Preceptor, he did enter the Cloud Palace after Long Tian left and before Xiang Yu was killed!
Therefore, he is the most suspicious! "
"No, no, no …" Emperor Tian Xiang hurriedly waved his hands, exonerating the State Preceptor. "Lord Territorial Lord, I believe in the State Preceptor. All the people in the capital know the State Preceptor's character. He would never …"
Before he could finish, Lu Ming interrupted him and continued to interrogate the two guards from the Bear Clan.
"Did the State Preceptor enter the living room?"
The two guards from the Bear Clan hesitated for a moment before answering fearfully, "Yes."
Lu Ming continued to ask, "How long did he go in? When did he leave? Did he say anything? "
The two guards from the Bear Clan hurriedly shook their heads and said fearfully, "We don't know."
"We didn't know when the State Preceptor left. It was only when the maid, Ah Hong, found out that the princess was killed that we …"
Hearing this, Lu Ming and Ji Tianxing already had an answer in their hearts.
However, Emperor Tian Xiang was stubborn and said firmly, "Lord Territorial Lord, you shouldn't be distracted by Long Tian! How could the State Preceptor kill Xiang Yu? "
Ji Tianxing said expressionlessly, "It's useless even if you believe it. The most important thing now is to find out the truth and find out the cause of Xiang Yu's death!
When I left, Xiang Yu was safe and sound. Then, the State Preceptor entered the Cloud Palace.
If Xiang Yu was already dead, the State Preceptor would definitely report it to you.
However, he didn't. This means that Xiang Yu is still alive.
However, the guards only saw the State Preceptor enter the Cloud Palace. They didn't know when he left. Then, a maid found out that Xiang Yu was killed. "
At this point, Ji Tianxing stared at Emperor Tian Xiang and said indifferently, "Emperor Tian Xiang, I've already sorted out the sequence of events very clearly.
It's obvious who the real murderer is! "
"This …" Emperor Tian Xiang was speechless.
No matter how much he trusted the State Preceptor, he couldn't refute the facts.
Lu Ming didn't waste any time and directly ordered, "Bring the State Preceptor here. I'll interrogate him personally!"
Emperor Tian Xiang was full of hesitation and was in a dilemma.
However, he didn't dare to disobey Lu Ming's order. He could only let the imperial guard commander pass the message.
Everyone stood in the courtyard and waited quietly.
Taking this opportunity, Lu Ming secretly sent a voice transmission to Ji Tianxing. "Brother Long, how did you know that someone came to the Cloud Palace after you left?
Could it be that you've mastered the divine power of time and can turn back time to see what happened a few days ago? "
Ji Tianxing smiled and didn't say anything.
Lu Ming had an answer in his heart. His eyes flashed with surprise.
