Forensic Imperial Concubine

"My master's last name is Chu." Robert answered as he turned the carriage around and drove away.

The assistant pondered Robert's words carefully. Was the man in the carriage actually Princess Harper?

He had heard a lot about Matthew and knew that the prince spoiled his wife so much that he would give her whatever she asked, no matter what it was. If anyone offended her, he would torture those who infuriated her. Since Pearce had barged into the government office today, could it be possible that he had also been intimidated by Matthew?

Thinking of that, the assistant ran to the office at once. He must remind the mayor that compared with Pearce, Matthew was the one to whom he must pay greater honor and respect. If they offended Pearce, they would be kicked into the mud. Yet if they offended Matthew, they could only guess how much time they had left to live.

In the office, Hollis was still perplexed about the murder, and his assistant brought back more confusing news. He was irritated by it. "Don't exaggerate the situation here!"

"My Lord, I do not ring any undue alarms. Princess Harper went to the prison in person, and took Alexander Chu away. If she hadn't known we would release Alexander today, she wouldn't have got the news so soon." The assistant was rather anxious. "And Marquis Pearce also told us to find out the real murderer. We should prepare some lavish gifts, so that we may visit Prince Matthew on the pretense of comforting the wronged Alexander. Then we can ask him how to find the murderer. This way, Prince Matthew will feel your sincerity and you can also get some clues about the murderer. Isn't this a good idea that will satisfy both sides?"

Hollis considered his assistant's suggestion and decided that it was feasible. Then he sent a servant to prepare the gifts and went to the Joy Inn to meet the prince.

When Hollis arrived at the inn, he found that the prince and his wife had already checked out and were staying in the official inn of the River City, proclaiming their identity to the public. With no delay, Hollis turned his steps quickly to the official inn.
