Chapter 1010: Four Six Four: Astounding Mystery Puzzle! Execution by Fire Fu Lingxi!_2

Suo Lun asked, "Is it difficult to obtain all the brain data of a person?"

Zhi Yan replied, "Extremely difficult. The frequency of brainwaves, as well as their bands, constitute a very complex set of data. Only with the full cooperation of the target, letting down any mental defenses to undergo an examination, can the complete data be obtained."

Suo Lun said, "That means, the murderer who killed Marquis FuE was someone very familiar with him, perhaps even his closest confidante?"

"Correct," nodded Zhen Yan Princess.

Marquis FuE’s original spouse was already deceased.

Therefore, his closest confidante would be his children. And among his many children, the only one versed in advanced Mental Skills was his daughter, Fu Lingxi.

Could it be, the killer was Fu Lingxi?

Of course, her martial skills were not that high, but what if she conveyed Marquis FuE’s brain data to someone else, and then that person went to kill Marquis FuE?

Suo Lun inquired, "Yan, is it possible that Fu Lingxi sent someone to kill FuE to silence him?"

Zhi Yan nodded and said, "There’s a strong possibility."

Suo Lun immediately closed his eyes. If that were the case, then Fu Lingxi was truly impressive.

Not only could she bring herself to harm her own son, but she also sent someone to kill her biological father.

Truly impressive!

The education provided by the Dragon Temple is indeed devoid of humanity!

Moreover, a few hours before Fu Lingxi was arrested, she had specifically sought out Suo Lun to inquire whether he could release FuE?

At that time, Suo Lun found it very strange. She hadn’t asked earlier or later but specifically at that time.

Suo Lun originally thought it was because she knew she would be arrested and wanted one last effort to save her father.

But when Suo Lun ultimately refused, she actually seemed relieved.

This was clearly not the reaction someone should have when trying to save her father; it was as if she finally found a justification to have Marquis FuE killed to silence him.

But why... why?

At that moment, Fu Lingxi already knew that her name was mentioned in Zhi Li’s testimony, fully aware she was about to be arrested.

With her arrest imminent, she had no chance of survival.

Why would a person facing death need to silence FuE?

What secret did Marquis FuE know that made Fu Lingxi want to ensure his silence even before her death?

Shouldn’t she care more about her own survival?

What kind of major secret could it be that made her want to kill her own father to ensure silence before she died?

Suddenly, Suo Lun asked, "Yan, is it possible that the one who directly committed the murder is Ji Mengbai?"

Zhen Yan Princess replied, "He has the capability."

Suo Lun continued, "Aside from him, who else could have the capability?"

Zhi Yan said, "Huai Bingyi, Ji Xiuning."

"What about Fang Qingshu, Yuanyuan?" asked Suo Lun.

Zhi Yan replied, "These two don’t have the capability."

Huai Bingyi, Ji Mengbai, who could be the murderer who killed Marquis FuE?

Huai Bingyi is elusive like a dragon, his whereabouts unknown, and given his strained relations with the Zhi Du Sanctuary, his relationship with Fu Lingxi should also be quite bad.

Ji Mengbai represents Yin Zhou and is an ally of Zhi Du Sanctuary, and thus an ally of Fu Lingxi as well.

Furthermore, Ji Mengbai was precisely in Wangcheng Zidu yesterday, and he even visited Fang Qingyi in the sky prison, meaning he very likely knew the exact location of FuE’s confinement.

With that in mind, Ji Mengbai being the murderer seems more plausible.

"Immediately send someone to track down the whereabouts of Ji Mengbai and Fang Qingdi," Suo Lun ordered.

"Yes," and promptly, a Shadow Cabinet Warrior took the command and left.

Suo Lun waved his hand and directed, "Everyone out, I need some quiet to think."

"Yes!"

And just like that, Zhuang Zhixuan, Gao Ningqi, Yin Du, and others all withdrew!

But Zhen Yan Princess didn’t leave.

Suo Lun closed his eyes and thought silently.

Meanwhile, Zhen Yan Princess gently massaged Suo Lun’s temples, allowing his head to rest against her soft chest.

Suo Lun’s sharp intuition was not wrong. There was a reason behind Marquis FuE’s desperate actions with Zhi Li, one that involved significant secrets.

"Yan, if one does not know the other’s mental brain data, is it impossible to kill a person with Mental Skills from dozens of meters away?" Suo Lun questioned.

"Correct," said Zhi Yan. "Based on my knowledge, no one can, without prior information, kill someone like Marquis FuE – a mental expert – from dozens of meters away with Mental Skills. Mental energy dissipates, and the further it travels, the more it weakens."

Suo Lun concluded, "In that case, the person who sent the killer for Marquis FuE is very likely Fu Lingxi. Apart from her, no one else should know Marquis FuE’s mental brain data."

Zhen Yan Princess nodded in agreement.

After a lengthy silence, Suo Lun suddenly asked, "Yan, if you were to govern personally, would you be able to manage the entire kingdom well?"

With a shiver, Zhen Yan Princess hugged Suo Lun’s head in her bosom and shook her head, "Don’t say that, I can’t, I wouldn’t manage the kingdom well."

In truth, she was more than capable. She had the vision, the breadth of mind, intelligence, calmness, ruthlessness, and decisiveness - nearly all the qualities of a ruler.

Even more so, she was perhaps better suited to be king than Suo Lun.

The most outstanding thing about her was not that she left all political affairs to Suo Lun, but that there were times when she did not agree with Suo Lun’s decisions, and her own approaches were often more rational. However, she would not voice her disagreement; instead, she continued to support Suo Lun.
