The one who spoke was Ke Qi, ranked sixth among the many adopted sons.
Lao Liu's mind always works quickly, but he's somewhat timid, so the tasks given to him are always more straightforward. As long as the accounts are clear, it's fine.
His idea of speaking out now isn't wrong, but...
As he mentioned, even if it was indeed the Green Demon Envoy who killed the person, they have no proof to demonstrate this point.
After all... the Green Demon Envoy is still in their territory, without even a chance to leave the premises, so how could he have killed someone right under their noses?
Though he carries the title of Demon Capital Envoy, he's still a demon. With so many people in the court, how could they really allow this fellow to roam freely in the Imperial Palace? He's surely restricted to his residence, unable to step past the main door, under stringent surveillance.
Thus, Lao Liu's remarks are groundless.
"Human skin!"
