Wang Jingyuan and Yan Qiufeng both stood to greet the crown prince, who waved for them to sit down. "At ease, everyone. No need for formalities." He joined them at the table. "I see that you all were discussing the case."

"Yes, Your Highness. I was wondering how the investigation was going." Wang Jingyuan explained.

"To be completely honest, Miss Wang, it is not going very well." Xiao Yuhan sighed. "I have questioned everyone whom I think needed to be questioned, but I did not gain any new information about what occurred that night. No further clues were found either, which is quite frustrating."

"Your Highness, is it enough to convict someone with the information you have right now?" Wang Jingyuan asked.

Xiao Yuhan let out a long breath. "I would say no," he said slowly. "I do not think the information we have right now is sufficient to convict with a hundred percent confidence."

"Yuhan, do you doubt the prisoner's confession?" asked Yan Qiuyun.
