"Just who on earth wants me dead?"
Lin Jin couldn't wrap his head around the attempted assassination. He shouldn't have any enemies in the royal capital. Moreover, Lin Jin had always preferred diplomacy so even if there were people who disliked him, they wouldn't go so far as to want him dead.
"It's times like these that I have to trust the authorities," Lin Jin muttered to himself.
He was out of options. Although there were tons of ways he could deal with this body, why should he?
He ought to do what was right. Another part of the reason was that the authorities must be notified that someone was trying to kill him.
Thus, Lin Jin woke the innkeeper up, whom he got to make a report to the authorities on his behalf.
The officials came over before dawn arrived.
Several constables and coroners came to take the body away.
