Forensic Imperial Concubine

"The Scarlet Devils is associated with somebody who is a member of the imperial court," Matthew said as he passed over a list to Harper, with records of the assassination dealings of the Scarlet Devils over the years. Most of the dealings were related to the assassinations of the officials in the court. Of course, some of the names on the list were unknown figures, and some others were pretty famous figures in the world of martial artists.

"That's a good way to plant one's own person," Harper said slowly as she looked at the list. "Eliminating some officials can make their positions vacant, and thus, one can plant his own people to replace the dead. Moreover, since some of them held less important positions, it didn't attract too much attention. Even though we knew that these people died mysteriously, the Scarlet Devils was careful not to leave any trace. They also made it look like an accident to cover up the truth."

Matthew's eyes lit up. It finally made sense to him why that person acted discreetly, leaving no trace at all. He used the Scarlet Devils to secretly kill the officials, and then he had his men arranged in the imperial court to take up those vacant positions. These positions were not important, and few people paid attention to them. However, at certain pivotal moments, these people could play a key role. Perhaps, if Matthew carried out an investigation on them based on this list, he could yield some unexpected harvest.

"I never thought of it that way. The man is indeed sophisticated and a hard nut to crack." Matthew sneered coldly. "If he were to fight against Felix, I doubt if the latter would survive. I'm curious about what is going to happen in the imperial capital."

"We'll know what will happen in the imperial capital as long as we stay here," Harper said as she put down her bowl and chopsticks. "Do you want to stay here?"

"Yes, let's stay. Since they don't want us to go back, we can spend the New Year here, in case we will meet too much trouble when we go back," Matthew said without hesitation. The hidden forces were finally coming out of the shadow at the end of the year. Since they were never stingy with their tricks, there must be even more of them on the way. If Matthew was able to find out the newcomer of the imperial capital, he would be one step closer to the man behind the scene.
