Chapter 162 Lesson

There werespy in the Kun Society

Shangguan Ru had been kidnapped at the deserted village At that time, Gu Shenwei had already come to the conclusion that the spy zi and Servant Huan because the spy knew the levels of both of their lightness skills

The duel in the Rouge Forest showed that the assassin obviously knew Servant Huan's tactic and had been staying close by

Even fewer people knew of the assassinationshi+an, but they still fell in the trap of the enemy If Gu Shenwei hadn't called off the mission at the last moment, it was very likely that more than one killer would have died

The first person Gu Shenwei suspected was Shangguan Yushi+

Yu Gongzi naturally didn't intend to hurt or kidnap Tenth Gongzi Her goal was to force Servant Huan into ivable et rid of hiuan Ru to lose all trust in him

The only thing Gu Shenwei didn't understand hy the assassin had tried to kill Ye Silang in the Rouge Forest

These events were all interled There seemed to be a connection between them but their purposes also seemed to be completely different Gu Shenwei couldn't explain all of thezi all of his hunches

”Let o find the spy”

Spies and traitors were the types of people that Shangguan Ru hated most, but this time she was a bit hesitant Gu Shenwei knew that Servant Huan's status was declining in Tenth Gongzi's mind

”All right, but do not talk about it with others I don't want anyone to suspect or envy another”

Gu Shenwei bowed and accepted, ”I'll go investigate alone”

Back in Southern Jade City, Gu Shenwei thought over everything several ti that the clues in his hands were so few that he didn't even knohere to start

Lotus and the siblings of the Xu faatheredthe real murderer They weren't even sure whether the real murderer still existed or not

Young male companions were very popular in Jade City Actually, most of the rich scions of the families in Northern Jade City kept one or two of these boytoys Zhou Huan was a bit different He was in his twenties, a bit too old to be a cata, to the point that even the Hengsheng rice shop was bought by Duke Gao

Shopkeeper Mi had said that the tere in conflicts and this was true They often quarreled like an ordinary couple Their hts were on Duke Gao's fickleness in love, as he not only liked men but also women Their last quarrel was fierce It happened on the day Duke Gao sneaked into Southern Jade City at the end of the twelfth lunar month last year

As a matter of fact, Duke Gao had come to visit Zhou Huan, but went to a prostitute after they quarrelled

No one had witnessed the fight, but a few people had entered the Hengsheng rice shop afterwards and found that the whole shop seemed to have been ransacked by bandits The debris and rice was scattered everywhere, and Zhou Huan was sitting on the rice bucket, giggling But he got angry after seeing customers and drove everyone out

In this sense, it was more than likely a true story that Zhou Huan had killed Duke Gao in a moment of passion and then commited suicide

But Gu Shenwei still didn't believe it He had seen Zhou Huan's corpse, and the wound was so deep that it didn't see a suicide victim could have made But he hadn't seen any other corpses that resulted froht or not

Either way, he had to do so

The Patrol Co Huan's invitation and caht two junior officers with him

They could be considered old friends now, so they talked happily as the feast was served Gu Shenas not good at drinking, so he called the old sabres of the Xu faood time

During the feast, Gu Shenwei first thanked Co for his support of the Kun Society, then slowly changed the topic to the death of Duke Gao Xu Xiaoyi was a bit drunk now, so he was not as scrupulous as when they first met He actually slammed the table and rose to his feet, ”I don't believe that Duke Gao was murdered by Zhou Huan This wasn't the first time they had a quarrel, so how could he kill Duke Gao due to a quarrel this time?”

Zhong Heng put down his wine cup, ”I also don't believe it”

Gu Shenas a bit surprised, ”Oh? What flaw has Co found?”

As he stroked his thin beard, Zhong Heng seemed to think about whether he should tell the truth or not, ”Well, more than half of it is based on my experience and intuition I've been exposed to many homicide cases, as well as suicide cases that occured for fear of punishment or repentance, but very few people were like Zhou Huan, who committed suicide after a few days For normal people, it's difficult to commit suicide, and they will either do it when they're in a hysterical state or else they will never be able to do so”

This was another explanation and Gu Shenwei thought it was quite reasonable He had found the corpse on the fifth day of the first lunar month, and several experienced sabremen believed that Zhou Huan had died two or three days earlier, which was the second or third day of the first lunar month and three or four days after the death of Duke Gao

Xu Yanwei took hold of her collar in horror, ”Then it means that murderer killed two people It's so scary, Duke Gao was such a good guy”

Prostitutes didn't careboytoys because there was no direct competition between the two

”Duke Gao was too careless withended the discussion after he said a sentence, and an officer ied the subject The second half of the feast returned to a normal, playful atmosphere

The two officers took their leave first Since Co was in a brothel now, he would not si hi her drink, Xu Yanwei staggered to her feet and alht her in tiain, everyone knew that it was time for the feast to end

Zhong Heng had a perfect day, and his bones felt like they were about to ht 'No wonder those playboys of Northern Jade City like Southern Jade City People living in the cleanest and safest city really needed a dirty spot to enliven themselves'
