The night watchmen only discovered the corpses of Shen Gongfu and the guards an hour later. They then calmly reported it to the Blood Rain Guard. To the night watchmen they had seen too many corpses at nightthey had their fair share of experience in such major matters.

Its Shengong Fu.

A Shengong family scion was actually killed.

I wonder who Shengong Fu crossed. The Blood Rain Guards protected the scene. Soon, the experts from South Wing HQs Procuratorate arrived.

The experts investigated the scene carefully.

Centurion Song, hows the investigation going? Judge Niuwho had rushed over after being woken up in the middle of the nightyawned and asked.

The one who died had a noble title after all, so a judge needed to be present. The judge was the from the Procuratorate in charge of South Wing, and his rank was equivalent to that of a Blood Rain Guard Principales.

Lord Niu. Centurion Song pointed at the scene. Theres only one murderer, and hes good at concealed weapons. Although there are only the corpses of Shengong Fu and four guards, from the bloodstains, Shengong Fu should have two stronger guards!

Judge Niu nodded. He trusted his subordinates judgment.

Ive carefully investigated the traces, and Im certain. Centurion Song pointed to a corner. The murderer first charged out from the shadows and instantly shot out flying daggers at close range, killing four guards in a row. Two stronger guards fought the murderer, but their corpses cant be found. Shengong Fu probably heard the commotion and left the carriage before being killed by a flying dagger! Furthermore, he was robbed clean.

Do you have any suspects? Judge Niu asked.

If its just an act of robbery, theres no need for the murderer to target Shengong Fu. A simple investigation will reveal that Shengong Fu isnt thought highly of in the Shengong family and doesnt have much money, said Centurion Song. There are many people in the capital who are richer than him. If its for money, its better to rob some rich merchants. Therefore its more likely a premeditated assassination!

Investigate who Shenggong Fu offended, especially recently! Centurion Song said. I believe theres a high chance that he offended someone, which invited a fatal calamity. The key to this case is the two missing guards. If we can find the two missing guards, be it dead or alive we will be able to find more clues.

Alright. Judge Niu yawned. Write a dossier as soon as possible; I have to inform the Shengong family about this. It looks like sleep is out of the question this late at night. I have to prepare to report to Lord Wang and His Majesty!

After all, he had to report the death of a noble to the emperor.

Yes, sir, Centurion Song replied.

Early in the morning.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Someone knocked on Xu Jingmings door.

Xu Jingming simply put on his clothes and walked out of the house. At the same time, his consciousness officially came onlinewhen he was free, he often cultivated in his personal space.

Whoosh.

Xu Jingming opened the door and looked at Zhang Ke.

Captain, something big happened last night, Zhang Ke said excitedly. Do you still remember Shengong Fu? Its that arrogant Shengong Fu from Nine Flavors Restaurant! He was killed last night! A flying dagger had smacked him straight between his brows!

Zhang Ke spoke excitedly.

Whos the murderer? Xu Jingming looked excitedit was only normal for him to gloat.

Who knows! Zhang Ke smiled. All I know is that the murderer is good at throwing daggers. I dont know anything else! I heard that the Shengong family has gone crazy and is searching everywhere. However, there are many experts in the capital. With Shengong Fus personality, he has offended countless people. Perhaps he was finished off by some badass.

There are many badasses in the capital. Xu Jingming nodded in agreement.

After becoming a Blood Rain Guard and checking the wanted fugitives in the dossiers, Xu Jingming realized that there were too many badasses in the capital.

Assassination and murder via interception were one thing, but the most badass ones in the capital were the snitches. These snitches dared to go anywhere!

A kings residence?

Shengong family? Xiahou family?

Imperial palace?

The imperial capitals snitches were unimaginably strong. There was nowhere they didnt dare to go! They risked their lives to steal treasures.

There were also assassination missions that were extremely difficult. Only badasses dared to take them.

Many of these badasses in the capital dont care about their lives, and they even dare to enter the imperial palace Most of them are probably cosmic citizen players,?Xu Jingming thought to himself.

Cosmic citizen players came in for the money. Therefore, murderers, assassins, bandits, snitches These were the most common roles players had.

If there were benefits, they would do it even if it meant risking their lives. A life was only worth 100,000 cosmic dollars!

Of course, people like Xu Jingmingwho had an important identitycherished their lives more.

Thats why its best to keep a low profile in the capital. Zhang Ke shook his head and sighed. Regardless of whether youre a scion of a large family clan or a relative of the royal family If youre too arrogant and have too many enemies, you might end up offending a badass and lose your life.

There are too many experts in the various factions in the capital; its best to keep a low profile, Xu Jingming said. By the way, Old Zhang, theres no need to look for me if theres nothing important in the next three days. Help me handle it if you can.

Alright. Zhang Ke nodded. If I really cant handle it, Ill report it to you.

Xu Jingming nodded.

He had important matters to attend to. His wife, Li Miaomiao, was about to give birth.

******

Li Miaomiao was admitted to the hospital ahead of time.

In fact, giving birth was much simpler after humans fully evolved. After all, every evolvers physique was much stronger than in the past. Many women on the Internet gave birth at home without going to the hospital.
