Chapter 359 Fingerprints
At this moment, everyone present was focused on the moment the coroner took out a token the size of a baby's fist.
"What is this?" Shen Yaosi said as he took out a handkerchief and wiped the token-sized object clean.
"National God's Mansion..." After reading the words on the token, Shen Yaosi looked at Yi Qianhuan in disbelief, "This is the token of the National God's Mansion."
"The tokens of the National God's Palace are all engraved with the name of their owner. Whose name is engraved on this token?" Yi Qianhuan said as he took the token from Shen Yaosi's hand.
After wiping the blood off the token, Yi Qianhuan clearly saw the three small words "Yi Mo Bao" appearing on the back of the token.
At this moment, Yi Qianhuan felt her blood rushing to her head, making her heart sink, and she subconsciously looked towards Ji Chilian.
The surprise in Ji Chilian's eyes was no less than hers, and he shook his head at her the first moment.
Before Yi Qianhuan could figure out the situation, a loud noise was heard from the front yard.
"The Emperor has issued an order—!"
"It's Princess Lianhe's voice." Yi Qianhuan listened to the voice and saw Princess Lianhe coming surrounded by a group of Dragon Shadow Guards.
Holding the bright imperial edict in her hand, Princess Lianhe began to read it out after everyone except Yi Qianhuan knelt down: "In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that the drugstore explosion case and the Xijiang Kingdom spy suicide case be investigated together. Princess Lianhe will lead the Dragon Shadow Guard to cooperate with the Northern Pacification Bureau in the investigation. I decree this."
"Your Majesty, I obey your order." Ji Chilian took the imperial edict and slowly clenched it.
"Chi Lian, this time Master Shen was seriously injured, and my father was worried that you couldn't handle it alone, so he specially asked me to come along to help you. From now on, I and the other Dragon Shadow Guards are all your people, and you can tell us how to use us."
Princess Lianhe didn't mind Ji Chilian's silence. She looked at Yi Qianhuan and smiled slightly: "Lord God of the Country, I heard on the way here that you were dissecting the body. I wonder if you have any new clues?"
Yi Qianhuan looked at Princess Lianhe who happened to appear here.
"The princess is well-informed." The cold smile on her face deepened, and Yi Qianhuan said with a fake smile: "We just happened to find the token belonging to my son in this corpse. I think the mastermind didn't blow up my son last time, so he thought of this dirty and low-level method to frame my son's innocence."
"I can understand that the Lord of the State is concerned about my son. But the truth of the matter is still uncertain. But rest assured, Lord of the State, with the cooperation of the Northern Pacification Division and the Dragon Shadow Guard, this palace and the Governor will definitely clear your name as soon as possible." Princess Lianhe said, clapped her hands and said, "Come here, arrest Yi Mobao."
"Stop." Yi Qianhuan looked at the restless Dragon Shadow Guards warily, and said gloomily, "The matter is still unclear. You can't convict my son based on just a token."
"The national god has misunderstood. We are not such reckless people. Since we have come here today, we have sufficient evidence." Princess Lianhe said and winked at Lianzhi behind her.
Lian Zhi's face had not yet fully recovered from the beatings she had received, but that did not stop her from being arrogant: "Your Majesty, while you were dissecting the bodies, we had already discovered the first crime scene, and found the murder weapon that killed the spy, and we also found the child's fingerprints on it."
"Extract...fingerprints?" Yi Qianhuan looked at Princess Lianhe in disbelief.
Fingerprint extraction is a modern technology. This is ancient times when technology was backward. Criminals would only leave fingerprints if their fingers were stained with blood or something like that.
However, extracting fingerprints requires modern technology and special potions. Why did fingerprint extraction exist in ancient times?
This unfamiliar word caught Shen Yaosi's attention.
"Can fingerprints still be extracted?" Shen Yaosi said, subconsciously looking at his fingers.
"This is a new technology that I have developed. It can use potions to find fingerprints at the crime scene. Even if the murderer deliberately covered up fingerprints with blood stains, the potion I have developed can find other fingerprints under special circumstances and extract them."
Princess Lianhe paused and continued, "If you are curious, I will demonstrate the whole process of extracting fingerprints to you in detail when I have the chance. However, the point now is not this, but the fingerprints we extracted are most likely left by Yi Mobao."
"Your Majesty the God of the Nation, I heard that Young Master Mo cut his left thumb when he was a child, resulting in a scar on his hand. Therefore, the fingerprints on Young Master Mo's fingers are incomplete." Lian Zhi looked at Yi Qianhuan and said.
Yi Qianhuan sneered: "You have investigated everything. You are aware of these secrets that only I, a mother, know. I guess you have put a lot of effort into my son."
Lian Zhi said calmly, "You are joking, Lord Guoshen. Since the emperor has handed the Dragon Shadow Guard to the princess, the princess will naturally know all the information obtained by the Dragon Shadow Guard. Moreover, we are not here to provoke you today. We just need to ask Young Master Mo to come and compare fingerprints to confirm that this matter has nothing to do with Young Master Mo."
Yi Qianhuan had a cold face and did not respond.
She knew very well that since Princess Lianhe chose to come at such a critical moment, she must have made all the preparations.
If Princess Lianhe doesn't take Yi Mobao away today, the group of people she brought with her will not let it go.
Thinking this in his mind, Yi Qianhuan had no intention of backing down.
"My son stayed with me last night. I can prove his innocence." Yi Qianhuan said, and her frail figure stood in front of the group of Dragon Shadow Guards.
"Your Highness, the National Goddess is, after all, the mother of Young Master Mo. In order to protect Young Master Mo, she might do something foolish. In order to make the case clearer, it is better to bring the National Goddess back to the Beifusi and investigate together..." Lianzhi reminded softly.
“How dare you!” Shen Yaosi interrupted Lian Zhi’s unfinished words, “The national god is the god of a country, and his status is noble. What you said is an offense to the national god!”
"We are also trying to find out the truth of the matter. Lord State God, my father hates the spies from Xijiang Kingdom the most. Now everything involves the State God's Mansion. In order to protect your reputation, I have no choice but to inconvenience you." Princess Lianhe sighed helplessly and winked at the Dragon Shadow Guards.
Even though these Dragon Shadow Guards approached, Yi Qianhuan's eyes remained sharp, and he did not show any sign of retreat or avoidance.
At this point, she was completely certain that both she and Mo Bao had been plotted against.
After the explosion at the pharmacy, the matter was far from over.
Although she was not sure what the conflict was, she was sure that the Princess Lianhe in front of her must be an insider.
Thinking that someone had been deliberately plotting against his own son, Yi Qianhuan laughed out of anger.
