"Matthew, do you know anybody who uses a weapon like this?" Harper asked. Now she only knew that Alexander had been
framed, but she had no idea who the real murderer was. Pearce would not let Alexander go unless the real murderer were
discovered and captured.
After thinking carefully for a while, Matthew shook his head and said, "I will tell my men to investigate. This kind of weapon must
be a hidden weapon and rarely used. It is the sort of weapon that is used in conspiracies against people. If we investigate
carefully, we will turn something up sooner or later."
"I need to go to Pearce's mansion. I want to persuade him to plead with the mayor on Alexander's behalf, so that perhaps
Alexander will be released from prison," Harper said seriously. Neither she nor Matthew could visit the mayor themselves. The

So, very soon, Hollis Shangguan, the mayor of the River City, was informed that Prince Matthew and his wife had entered the
River City. The mayor felt a chill up his spine the moment he heard about it. He was afraid that the couple would vent their anger
regarding Alexander's case against him, even though he had done nothing wrong.
It wouldn't be a big problem if Alexander had killed a nobody. However, it turned out that the victim was the only son of Pearce,
and Pearce insisted that the murderer be punished severely. As a mayor, he dared not offend either party, and he could do
