Chang'an.
Somewhere within the estate of the nobility.
Li Nuo furrowed his brows as he looked at the two corpses in the courtyard.
Last night, within Chang'an City, another second-class noble was assassinated, along with his son.
Both were slain with a sword piercing their throats, the same manner of death as the previously assassinated nobles.
Within just half a month, this was already the seventh assassination case involving the nobles.
The murderer behind these cases was likely the same person.
However, the Ministry of Justice couldn't find any clues.
Not just the Ministry of Justice, but the Ministry of Justice and the Spiegel Bureau were also coming up empty.
No traces were left at the scene, which wasn't something an ordinary murderer could do. Li Nuo speculated that the killer must possess the cultivation of a grandmaster. Given the protection at these nobles' residences, it would be child's play for a grandmaster to kill them.
