Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 949 Who Was The Murderer (Part Two)

"As for those who had a private talk with Darren without you present, who are they?" Daphne asked. The person who had injured her brother must be someone whom he was not wary of, or someone he knew well. If the ones on the list were eliminated one by one, she might be able to find out the murderer.

"Eh... So far, there are only three people left, Lord Derrick, you and Princess Harper." Quincey Feng was caught in a dilemma. Harper was outside the city and the lord just came back this morning. Daphne was the first one to find out what happened to Darren. The three people seemed not the suspects, but they were also suspicious, because none of them had the alibis for the murder.

Daphne was confused. Harper was out of the city and had no motive to commit the murder. But it could still be estimated that she might run out of the city after she hurt Darren. "Send someone to find out where Harper went out of the city last night." NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

"Yes."

Daphne didn't even think about Derrick at all. It was said that a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs. Darren was his only son, and he couldn't kill him. Moreover, according to the wound Darren was suffering, the other party clearly wanted to kill him.

Harper was busy trying and preparing the antidote in the pharmacy, and Matthew stayed beside her, watching the others in the room, who casually looked at the medicinal materials Harper had chosen, with confusion in their eyes.

"Harp, have a rest and eat something," Matthew said as he came in with some food and saw that Harper was still preparing the medicine.

Stopping what she was doing, Harper took the wet handkerchief from his hand and looked up at the person in front of her. Then, she lowered her head and silently ate the food. While Matthew was picking

up some food for his wife, he was eating slowly and elegantly, quite pleasing to the eye.

The first reaction of Harper when she saw him eating was that this man was not Matthew. He had grown up in the army since he was a child, so he ate very quickly. Even though she had tried to stop him several times, he had only slowed down a little. Matthew would never eat in such a slow and elegant way. She was sure that this man was an imposter.

The man who was having lunch saw the changed expression in Harper's eyes and knew that he had been exposed. "He has been away for something and worries about you. So he asked me to guard you."

'He is Rolando!' Although Harper was stunned, she looked calm. Nobody knew when Rolando had switched the identity with Matthew and pretended he was with her, so Matthew might have gone to investigate the Qin Clan.

With no more words, Harper finished her meal quickly and continued to prepare the antidote. The poison was very strong. Her pill could only slow down the speed of the poison attack, but it couldn't detoxify it. She didn't have much time left before she made the antidote.

"Who hurt Darren, in your opinion?"

"Someone he knows. And it's someone he wasn't on the alert against," Harper answered without hesitation.

Rolando was a little surprised. "Why did you say so?"

"Darren is a martial arts master as powerful as you. So he must have been hurt face to face off guard when he was injured so badly. The killer wasn't someone he was on the alert against. Darren is always highly alert. Very few people could make him let down his precaution," said Harper softly.

"So the leader was someone familiar to Darren, and Darren might even have known about the whole matter," Rolando said quietly. He suspected that Darren was the one behind it, joining hands with the assassins in order to get the antidote. After all, the Spiritual Poison was developed by Harper. It was not easy for ordinary people to get the antidote. They hurt someone she cared about and forced her to take out the antidote by herself, which was the quickest way. But perhaps even those who had this idea hadn't thought that Harper had no antidote.

"If the people behind it know that you don't have the antidote, they'll probably be furious and spit blood. How could they have thought that you would use a poison without antidote? By the way, aren't you afraid of hurting your people?" Rolando sneered.

"Matthew has been immune to any poison because he was poisoned for many years. How could I be afraid of poisons? What's more, the development of the Spiritual Poison was an accident. I didn't have time to develop an antidote. I used it because I didn't have other poisons with me to defeat the enemy at that time. Who would have thought that I would be in such trouble?" said Harper in distress.

"I just think it's no big deal if Darren dies and someone will be very happy for his death. Let's go. If there is no antidote, the person behind it will be poisoned to death, so we don't have to go to find him," Rolando suggested tentatively.

"The one behind it can die, but Darren can't! I won't let him die," Harper refused without hesitation.

"Aren't you afraid that someone will be jealous?"

Harper glanced at Rolando. "He is a jealous man, but he knows what he is doing. So don't worry. We know from Darren's injury that the real mastermind is hiding in Phoenix City. As long as we know he is in the city, we will definitely find a way to get him out."
