1454 Who Was The Traitor? (2/2)

After they sorted out the result, there were 80 people on the name list.

If the traitor went out, he or she would not go out with a partner. Even if he or she went out with a partner, he or she would need solitary time to do such a thing secretly.

Thus, the discipline elder immediately commanded the students to filter out those who went out alone or were alone during midway of the trip if they went out in a group.

An hour later, the result was out. During that time of period, there were a total of 22 students who either went out alone or were alone when they went out in a group. This also included those female and male students who went out together but stayed in a separate room overnight.

Among these 22 persons, there were four elders, three teachers and the rests were all students like Qian Lingyu and the gang.

In other words, these 22 persons were the biggest suspects, and one of them was the traitor.

However, it was not an easy task to find out the traitor from a list of 22 people. With the ability of the discipline elders, if they could inquire them one by one they would be able to figure out who the traitor was, but it would take at least five to six days to complete the investigation.

Since the news about the return of Di Fuyi and Gu Xijiu was not made known to the public yet, the fake Celestial Master Zuo was still not aware of it. Now when Di Fuyi showed up in this village, the traitor would seize the opportunity to report to his or her accomplices.

Therefore, they had to identify and expose the traitor quickly. It would be best if they could find him or her in one to two days. The faster they found out who the traitor was the lower the risk to them.

If they did not want the news to be leaked out, the only thing they could do now was to quarantine the 22 persons at one place and only release them once the traitor was found.
