The cocktail party turned into an assassination spot, and the people who attended the cocktail party naturally became suspects. As for the faults of Bai Xiaofei and Shang Youdao, it is not yet time to investigate. The top priority is to find out what happened in this attack!
Fortunately, Bai Xiaofei, who was successful in rescuing the driver, became one of the investigators under the protection of Concubine Qing. After several members of the royal family evacuated, Bai Xiaofei and the Forbidden City Guard Chief began to interrogate everyone present one by one.
"You can leave now."
The tedious inspections and interrogations did not bring much results, and the people at this reception could not be locked up for interrogation, so the guard chief had no choice but to let people out one by one.
Bai Xiaofei simply didn't participate much.
If this investigation could have been found, this attack would not have happened.
"Did you find anything, Xiaoer?"
Bai Xiaofei, who walked around in front of the five corpses lined up for a long time, frowned and asked the waiter, but the response he received was quite unsatisfactory.
There is no common smell among the five of them. In other words, as of now, these five people have no common connection.
"Brother Bai, everyone has been checked..."
The guard commander walked up to Bai Xiaofei, with a hint of disappointment in his tone.
Because of Concubine Qing's protection, the chief of defense is now very polite to Bai Xiaofei. Concubine Qing is a popular person around the emperor, and Bai Xiaofei has done a great job in rescuing her. Although he organized this reception, the final result may not be good.
What negative impact will it have on Bai Xiaofei?
Therefore, this time is a very rare opportunity to get close.
As long as Bai Xiaofei survives this calamity, it won't be any problem to take him and a guard commander to take a further step.
"Do you know these five people?"
Bai Xiaofei had expected nothing to be found there. If he wanted to find out the cause of the attack, these five attackers were the only breakthrough.
"They are all masters of the imperial guard, two martial arts masters, and three skilled puppet masters. Logically speaking, there will be no problem with their loyalty, otherwise they would not be arranged into the banquet hall, but I didn't expect them to
Will be an assassin..."
The guard chief's tone was full of confusion, as if this kind of thing was completely beyond his understanding.
"You said three of them were puppet masters?"
After a slight pause, Bai Xiaofei's brows furrowed even more.
"Yeah, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"
When Bai Xiaofei suddenly asked the guard commander, he couldn't help but look at the person lying on the ground again, and answered after confirming that he was right.
Of course there is a problem, otherwise how could I confirm it with you.
"Which three are they?"
Bai Xiaofei turned to look at the three people on the ground, and the guard commander pointed them out to him one by one.
It's okay to have two, but the third person pointed at by the guard was the one Bai Xiaofei expected. This person was the first person he smeared and tortured to death.
The reason why Bai Xiaofei paid attention to him was because his attack at that time was not threatening at all. Compared with the martial artist who almost cut off his arm, his sword was just an itch.
So the question arises, why does the attack launched by the puppet master not use the ability of the puppet, but use the martial arts that he is extremely bad at?
If there is one person, there is something wrong with his brain, but there are three of the same person lying on the ground!
In the recent attack, none of the three puppet masters used their own puppets!
It stands to reason that the person who launches an attack in this situation is definitely a dead soldier, but who has seen a dead soldier who spared his hands? Thinking that he did not die quickly enough?
You might say that this is their arrangement, okay, so what happened to the two martial arts masters? Why did they attack with all their strength?
There were five assassins in total, three stayed behind and two tried their best. The people who were attacked had nothing in common. After all kinds of information were strung together, Bai Xiaofei finally came to a conclusion.
This was not a premeditated assassination!
So the question comes again, what is this if not assassination?
Just disrupting the situation?!
Damn it, sir, who have I messed with to trick me like this? Are you going to all this trouble just to mess with me?!
Thinking of this, Bai Xiaofei's eyes suddenly lit up.
"How many puppet masters above the master level are participating in this cocktail party?!"
Turning to look at the guard commander, Bai Xiaofei's ecstatic look frightened the guard commander for a moment.
"Five in total."
After thinking for a while, the garrison chief reported the number he had.
"Who are they?"
Asking more questions, Bai Xiaofei felt that he had seen the light of day.
"The personal bodyguards of the eldest prince, the third prince and the fourth prince, as well as their immediate superiors and the deputy commanders of the imperial guards."
"Where's the other one?!"
None of the four names mentioned by the guard chief met the conditions in Bai Xiaofei's head, and the fifth person left had become his last hope.
"you……"
Pointing at Bai Xiaofei, the guard commander slowly uttered one word.
This last answer left Bai Xiaofei speechless, and after all the questioning, it was like asking in vain.
If you put it this way, the person who did it should be hiding. Then, the senior puppet master who hides his strength...
A candidate instantly appeared in Bai Xiaofei's mind!
But, could it be her?
You know, one of them slashed at her with a knife. If I had taken a step slower at that time, I would have never been able to dodge the knife.
Did she include all my actions?
But in that case, why would we arrange for two people to attack us both at the same time? Wouldn't that increase our own risk?
Or does she just want me not to doubt her?
For a moment, Bai Xiaofei felt a little pain in his head.
No wonder everyone is talking about the depth of the water here. It seems that they are really not exaggerating. There are even people in the imperial city who dare to take action!
Then the problem comes again.
If it is really Concubine Qing, then who does Concubine Qing belong to?
From the Wind and Thunder Thieves Group?
But what's the benefit of the Wind and Thunder Thieves doing this? If it's just to drive you crazy, then the price is too high.
Originally, the Imperial City ignored the Wind and Thunder Thieves Group, but if there is such a wave, I am afraid that the Imperial City will never let them continue to run wild.
This is not something a smart person would do, and the Wind and Thunder Thieves are obviously a smart group.
Thinking of this, Bai Xiaofei felt like he was going to collapse. What the hell was going on!
"Brother Bai?"
Bai Xiaofei didn't know how long he had been stunned, but the guard chief couldn't help but call him.
"Concubine Qing said she wants everyone to cooperate with my investigation, right?"
After coming back to his senses, Bai Xiaofei stared at the guard commander with burning eyes. The sudden change made the guard commander speechless for a moment.
"Uh...yes! That's what you said. Why, do you need to see someone?"
He responded quickly, and the guard commander looked like he didn't dare to neglect.
"Deputy Commander of the Praetorian Guards!"
"No problem. Vice Commander Li and I are close friends. It's easy to meet."
The guard commander patted his chest and reassured.
"There's one more."
After a pause, a sharp look flashed in Bai Xiaofei's eyes.
"who?"
"Empress Qingfei!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the garrison commander was stunned on the spot.
The last person who said he wanted to see Concubine Qing alone seemed to have been delayed...
