Ultimately, nothing significant could be found in the belongings of either Huang Ye or Lou Xiu to further the investigation.
To dig deeper, we must find the murderer.
Who could it be? Only the Phoenix Clan truly understands the situation on the Divine Mountain. East Victory's involvement is limited, and they can only allow the Phoenix Clan to investigate themselves.
East Victory's secret agents suspected Feng Xi at first but later thought it unlikely. If Feng Xi were controlling the Phoenix Clan to act treacherously, it wouldn't have been possible to capture Huang Ye and Lou Xiu here. Besides, Huang Ye's sudden escape earlier clearly indicated an insider had informed him.
These findings were reported truthfully by the leader of East Victory's secret agents when he returned to the East Victory Royal Court with the suspects' corpses and belongings, to meet with Right Minister Hou Jiahuan and those by the Queen's side.
