Honorable Hubby Behind Me novel Chapter 4838

Pei Gu wanted to explain, but Samuel stood still and waited calmly.

He believed that the Second Elder could not still be in the capital city.

Sure enough, in just ten minutes, the old members of the Crown Prince Society, who had rushed out just now, came back one by one with their heads down.

"I know that all of you really wish to ruthlessly give me a beating on my face. Unfortunately... all of you do not have such an opportunity. You should not be able to bring the second elder along, right?" Samuel laughed coldly.

"The Second Elder is an elder of the Pei family. He's usually busy with official business. Do you think he's as idle as you?"

"He must be out for something at the moment, so you don't have to be too pleased. When he returns, it will be the day we slap you in the face."

They didn't give in and fought back against Samuel.

Samuel smiled and looked at Pei Gu. "Patriarch Pei, it's obvious."

"Samuel. Please enlighten me."

Samuel pointed to the floating platform and said, "I have observed the surroundings. There are high walls all around, and there are guards on duty outside the main entrance. Anyone who wants to enter the mourning hall to steal the body will be dreaming."

"Although that floating board appears to be decorated, it is actually the hiding place of a thief."

"During the day, when no one is paying attention to him, he will hide on it. Once the time is right, he will come down and steal the corpse."

"You can even send someone to check it out. I believe that there must be his footprints on the board."

With a wave of Pei Gu’s hand, several trusted aides immediately rushed over with a few soldiers.

Not long after, Pei Gu heard his trusted aide who had just climbed up shouting outside, "There are indeed footprints on it."

"The murderer, Second Elder, actually wanted to take the body of Tiger Jones out from the beginning. However, there were too many people in the mourning hall, so it wasn't easy for him to take action."

"Thus, before setting up the mourning hall, he had already found a place to hide himself."
