Forensic Imperial Concubine

"Matthew, do you know anybody who uses a weapon like this?" Harper asked. Now she only knew that Alexander had been framed, but she had no idea who the real murderer was. Pearce would not let Alexander go unless the real murderer were discovered and captured.

After thinking carefully for a while, Matthew shook his head and said, "I will tell my men to investigate. This kind of weapon must be a hidden weapon and rarely used. It is the sort of weapon that is used in conspiracies against people. If we investigate carefully, we will turn something up sooner or later."

"I need to go to Pearce's mansion. I want to persuade him to plead with the mayor on Alexander's behalf, so that perhaps Alexander will be released from prison," Harper said seriously. Neither she nor Matthew could visit the mayor themselves. The emperor was waiting at every moment for a chance to pin some sort of blame on them, and they could not afford to give the emperor an opportunity.

"Let me talk with Marquis Pearce. You have been so busy. You examined the corpse and went to see Alexander, and you haven't had a good rest yet since we came here. Why don't you go back to have a rest at the inn? I will go to speak with Marquis Pearce at his mansion." Matthew felt sorry for his wife being so busy. He wanted to keep her healthy.

"I'm fine. Alexander..."

"You need rest," Matthew said decisively. "You've done enough for now. Marquis Pearce is a reasonable man. I will be easy on him, since he is no longer young and has lost his only son. Don't worry. Alexander will come out of prison very soon."

"But I'm afraid..."

I'll go back to the inn to have a good rest. Since we have already shown up in public in the River City, we'll have to go to the government office sooner or later. I really want to avoid drawing attention to us, but we can't avoid it any more since we're here in person. I think I'd better appear natural." With that, Harper turned her heels and went to the inn.

Chu is scheduled to be executed in only three days. Prince Matthew and his wife have come to River City at a critical moment. I don't suppose they came here just to watch Alexander Chu's beheading, right?" the private assistant asked Hollis cautiously. He had a feeling that a storm was brewing. After all, Pearce was a tough character as well. If Pearce and Matthew were to lock horns, the winner would likely be Matthew, because he had military power. However, the case had happened in the River City, where Pearce was a local oligarch, so he had a fair chance of winning too.
