Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

The night is as dark as ink, and everything is sounding, but the study room of Prince Qi's Mansion is brightly lit.

Xiao Jie was standing in front of the window at the moment, quietly looking up at the waning moon in the night sky, his eyes were misty, his face was deep, and he couldn't tell what was going on in his heart.

While he was thinking, a soldier announced softly outside the door: "His Royal Highness, Mr. Yao is asking to see you."

Xiao Jie's thoughts were interrupted by someone, but there was no trace of anger on his face, he just nodded slightly after regaining his senses: "Mr. Yao, please come in."

Not long after, Yao Ce hurried into the study, and bowed to Xiao Jie: "My subordinate, Yao Ce, sees Your Highness."

"Mr. Yao doesn't need to be so polite." Xiao Jie waved his hand lightly, but then changed the topic and asked, "Is there any progress in today's investigation?"

His wife was assassinated in broad daylight, and Yu Wenxuan was also seriously injured. Every time Xiao Jie thought of this, he couldn't help feeling guilty and afraid. He knew that what he was doing now violated the vital interests of many people. There will be some people who want to deal with him by all means, and some even take the risk and want to get rid of him, but he has explosive force and has expert guards like Pang Hu by his side. He is never worried that an assassin will take his life, but he also wants to However, the other party may attack the people around him, and specially strengthened the guards around his family, but he didn't expect Su Yao to be assassinated, and Yu Wenxuan was seriously injured.

With Xiao Jie's personality, he certainly couldn't let it go. Although his father had handed over the case to the Qilin Guard, Xiao Jie himself did not want the assassin to fall into the hands of the Qilin Guard. He swore that he would catch it with his own hands. The assassin and the mastermind personally took their lives to vent their hatred.

He knew that he had offended a lot of enemies, if he didn't find out and execute these enemies this time by means of thunder, and frighten those other people who were hiding in the dark and ready to move, there would definitely be people who would dare to take the risk to attack those around him.

Therefore, when Su Yao was assassinated, although it was inconvenient for Xiao Jie to come forward, he still sent his think tank, Yao Ce, to secretly investigate the matter and intervene every day, all he wanted was to find the murderer as soon as possible.

Yao Ce's current official position is the capital officer of Sili Xiaowei's Mansion. He is in charge of prosecuting all officials who break the law. It is his duty to investigate and deal with suspicious cases.

Seeing Xiao Jie's urgency, Yao Ce didn't exchange greetings, nodded lightly and said: "Today, the Qilin Guard finally let me go and check the corpses of those assassins. The clothes they wear all have the logo of Luoyang Taoji Cloth Store, and some people have seen them go to Tao’s Eight Immortals Building for dinner, it seems that the people behind the scenes want to lead all these clues to Tao’s.”

Xiao Jie smiled coldly: "It's just a very clumsy way to kill someone with a borrowed knife."

Yao Ce also smiled lightly, and then continued: "My subordinates also think that the clues on these assassins are all for the purpose of framing the Tao family, and there are no useful clues, so they also decided to continue to investigate from other aspects. Therefore, I still I made a special trip to the Su Mansion to check the assassination scene, and I found a major discovery."

"I sent people to check their hiding places on the roof, and found that there was only one set of footprints in each location, indicating that the assassin knew that the princess would return to the Su mansion to visit relatives today, so he purposely lay in ambush here in advance, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate the princess."

Xiao Jie couldn't help but frowned slightly: "You mean that these assassins should inform them in advance?"

Yao Ce shook his head and said with a sneer: "This subordinate also thought so at the beginning, because the number of times the princess returns to the Su Mansion to visit relatives is not frequent, and there is no rule at all, but these assassins can still accurately grasp the time when she returns to the Su Mansion and set up an ambush in advance. It can only be explained that someone was tipping off the assassin, so that the assassin knew the whereabouts of the princess in advance."

"However, after interrogating all the servants of the Su Mansion, the subordinates still found something different, because some servants told me that a few days ago, the mother of the princess, Mrs. Shen, fainted for no reason, and even asked the doctor to come to see a doctor. For one reason, the Su family sent someone to inform Wang Hao about this, Wang Hao must have been worried before she decided to return to the Su Mansion to visit her mother, so she was assassinated at the gate of the Su Mansion."

"Therefore, this subordinate has a bold inference that these assassins should first send someone to drug Madam Shen, causing Madam Shen to faint inexplicably. The princess is a filial person, and when she finds out that her mother is unwell, she will definitely return to the Su residence to visit her immediately. Assassins have a chance to strike."

After listening to Yao Ce's narration, Xiao Jie's face was serious, and he was silent for a moment before slowly saying: "If that's the case, what are you going to do next?"

Yao Zhizhi pondered for a while, and then said: "According to my subordinates, we should continue to investigate the people around Mrs. Shen, find out who gave the medicine to Mrs. Shen, and then follow the clues to find out the real behind-the-scenes mastermind. "

Xiao Jie nodded and said in a deep voice, "Okay, let's do it according to your wishes."

Yao Ce took the order to leave, but Xiao Jie did not leave the study, but continued to stay in the study, staring at the flickering candle in a daze, as if lost in thought.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a slight knock on the door, which suddenly interrupted Xiao Jie's contemplation.

Xiao Jie looked up, but saw Su Yao standing at the door holding a cup of hot tea, looking at herself with a smile, and asked with a smile: "Husband, can I come in?"

Although Xiao Jie said that Su Yao could enter his study at any time, Su Yao insisted on asking him every time before stepping into the study. In her words, it was a kind of respect for her husband's career.

Xiao Jie hurried forward, took the saucer from her hand and put it aside, gently held her hands, and said softly: "Yao'er, why are you here?"

Su Yao gave him a blank look, and said angrily: "I have to ask you, I would rather stay in the study alone at night than go back to the room to rest. I can't rest assured, so I can only come to the study to see you."

Xiao Jie looked at his wife apologetically, and his tone was even more apologetic: "I'm sorry, Yao'er, I made you worry. I just haven't figured out some things, so I just stayed in the study quietly."

Knowing husband Mo Ruo's wife, Su Yao didn't understand the reason for Xiao Jie's confusion, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly: "Is your husband still thinking about my assassination?"
