Chapter 1660: 31: My Last Trust in You
Chapter 1660: Chapter 31: My Last Trust in YouMany people believe that the existence of the Long Life Palace is largely based on the Son of Heaven’s compassion and favoritism…
The stupidity, greed, and audacity of Concubine Lei, once exposed, would almost strip away the foundation upon which the Long Life Palace exists.
That’s why Gongsun Yu would rather cut off his own tongue to keep the secret. Because the truth is not dignified for the Long Life Palace.
That’s why Feng Gu remained silent while Jiang Wuqi was alive. Because after Concubine Lei’s death, his life’s meaning was to protect Jiang Wuqi.
But Jiang Wuqi is now dead as well…
What use is the Son of Heaven’s love?
The Son of Heaven loved Concubine Lei dearly, but Concubine Lei is already dead.
The Son of Heaven described his grief over losing Jiang Wuqi as “immeasurable sorrow,” but Jiang Wuqi is also dead.
Feng Gu harbors only hatred in his heart, wanting to have the Queen accompany Concubine Lei in death — something that should have happened seventeen years ago.
Thus, the hanging in the mourning hall faced the Queen’s position upon death, even using **the spider that devours its children** as a metaphor for the Queen…
So he took out Lin Kuang’s knife to guide Lin Youxie into participating in the old case.
The entire incident, from seventeen years ago to seventeen years later, finally pieced together a complete picture in Jiang Wang’s mind.
Concubine Lei, the Queen, the Tian family, the Lei family, Jiang Wuqi, Gongsun Yu, Feng Gu… each party’s choice was so clearly presented before them.
At this moment, Jiang Wang knows more than Lin Youxie.
Moreover, he knows something that Lin Youxie does not, a secret revealed by a mysterious person in front of the Patrol Inspection Bureau’s gate —
Indeed, Lin Kuang committed suicide.
Of course, to be more precise, it was forced suicide…
When Lin Kuang arrested Tian Fen back then, it was clear he had caught onto some clue, perhaps even the Wanling Frozen Snow on the assassin’s weapon was applied by Tian Fen.
A person like Lin Kuang would not commit suicide easily. Even if Tian Fen died in prison, all evidence was erased, and all clues were against him, he would still strive to find new leads, capture new evidence, until he fully uncovered the truth.
But what if someone used Lin Youxie as leverage?
By that time, Lin Kuang should have known what kind of shadow he was facing. He could fully understand that the other party could turn any escape into a real threat—
If he didn’t want those things to happen, he would have no choice but to die.
Taking all clues to the grave.
Jiang Wang looked at Lin Youxie, thinking silently—
The glory of the Green Token is worth defending with every aspect of life.
But for you alone…
For you, he would even relinquish the glory of the Green Token.
He was willing to “fear responsibility and commit suicide.”
The weight of fatherhood overrides the Green Token.
“Too bad we have no evidence,” Jiang Wang sighed.
“No, I do,” Lin Youxie said.
“What evidence?” Jiang Wang asked.
“Gongsun Yu is dead, Uncle Yu is dead, and as we investigate further, more will die… What does this precisely indicate?” Lin Youxie said with a complex emotion: “They are very afraid too!”
“Because today’s environment is different from back then. The Son of Heaven has always been ambivalent, and they are tormented by fear!”
“Whether it’s the Queen or the Tian family, they don’t know if I have evidence, or rather, they dare not be sure that I don’t have evidence. So, I do.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wang understood her intention.
His expression became grave: “You’ve told me all this today, revealed the investigation results of so many years… all for this step?”
“Although there’s no evidence, you’ve already determined the truth, haven’t you?” Lin Youxie asked.
To present it to the Political Affairs Hall and hold the Queen accountable, evidence is naturally required.
But all that they have experienced these days, the process of witnessing and sensing the destruction of various pieces of evidence, along with all facets of clues, has already pieced together the truth in Jiang Wang’s heart.
He naturally could only nod.
“Minister Jiang, I trust you. I give you all I have left, my final trust.” Lin Youxie handed him a thin booklet: “Please leave.”
Jiang Wang lowered his head for a look.
This thin booklet was already quite old and seemed to have been flipped through many times. However, due to the good material, it hadn’t worn out.
The cover of the booklet was blank, without a name.
Upon opening it, the front page had only one sentence—
The body is composed of clues.
The content of this thin booklet was Lin Kuang’s insights into corpse analysis, detailing how to find clues within the body, and was considered a unique skill of the legendary detective. He had completed only half before his death, and the latter part was supplemented by Li Youjue.
Lin Youxie handed this thin booklet to Jiang Wang, intending to make her crucial evidence claim appear convincing, encouraging either the Queen’s side or the Tian family to send someone to kill her!
Then she would leave irrefutable evidence of who the murderer was within her body.
Jiang Wang would only need this “evidence” to string together the entire case!
The one who kills Lin Youxie would naturally be the one covering up the truth!
“There are other solutions,” Jiang Wang said.
Lin Youxie shook her head gently: “No, there aren’t.”
“Chief Wu is dead because of the Wanling Frozen Snow. The Hegemon Island clues, haven’t we left that unused?”
“The evidence of Wanling Frozen Snow certainly doesn’t exist anymore. Since the Tian family discovered we’ve traced it to this point, how could they leave the Hegemon Island clues?” Lin Youxie said: “I think Gu Xing might already be dead.”
