From the Imperial Palace Gate to East Rongmi Lane, he and Li Xuan remained close to the sedan chair the entire time. They were certain that no one had approached it.
Chen Ji parted the clothes on the corpse, checking for any signs of a blow dart or similar marks.
There were none.
Chen Ji also felt through the clothes, but found nothing.
Li Xuan frowned and asked, "Can the murderer be found? The Spy Department is likely on its way."
Chen Ji did not answer, instead turning his gaze toward the Korean Crown Prince in the Huitong Hall: "Your Highness, when you entered the palace to face the Emperor, you mentioned that Jing Dynasty assassins had tried to kill you several times?"
The Korean Crown Prince stood inside the door and nodded: "Three times."
Chen Ji asked again, "Where are they? I need to interrogate them."
The Korean Crown Prince replied: "They took poison and committed suicide as soon as they were captured. Their deaths were identical to that of my body double."
