Book 3: Clear River in Turation (1/2)
Chapter 32: Investigation
After leaving the City Head’s residence, Su Chen headed for West Water Street
It was al with traffic
One of the Origin Bureau’s martial artists pointed to a corner of the West Water Street and said, “That’s where Sir Liu perished”
A toothless old lady was currently sitting and selling bean curds at where he was pointing
The Investigations Office’s handling of this quite important matter was lazy, to say the least
Su Chen asked, “You personally witnessed the victim’s death?”
The martial artist was startled “How could I have seen it? The Investigations Office reported that to us”
“So everything you know about the situation is just hearsay?”
“Yes, sir!”
Su Chen walked back and forth along that section of the road The old lady thought that Su Chen wanted to buy bean curds, and she stared intently at Su Chen with her round was covered with a lot of trash, it wasn’t enough to obstruct Su Chen’s vision
He shook his head “There’s not even a trace of blood…… This shouldn’t be where Sir Liu died, and the corpse was never here at all The Investigations Office is just spouting nonsense They didn’t even try to fabricate a crio and look into the person who reported this case”
“There’s no point” Su Chen shook his head “There isn’t anyone who reported the case anyways This is just the ten Bloodline nobility Clans taking their revenge onfor, then? Sir, we should just slaughter our way back and give thehter?” Su Chen stared at hihter them? They’re the ten Bloodline nobility Clans Every one of theth They hter the was stunned “But……”
“Why wasn’t I afraid of thehed “Because I’ didn’t understand, and neither did Iron Cliff
Su Chen sighed, “You guys still don’t fully understand the situation here in Clear River”
Su Chen said as he walked, “The Crow Region is really quite vast In terh to defeat the ten Bloodline nobility Clans on his own, let alone us The only reason the stale is because the City Lord has the support of the imperial forces If those Bloodline nobility Clans aren’t trying to start a rebellion, they won’t dare to push things too far But the opposite also holds; because the government’s influence is weak, the Bloodline nobility Clans can rely on this support to maintain their position, but they can’t just do whatever they want If the governs too far, well, even a rabbit will bite a human if pushed too far, let alone these Bloodline nobility Clans, who have their own sources of confidence”
“One side has authority, while one side has strength,that both keep each other on their toes As such, they have their own special ways of doing battle Why would I conore the ten Bloodline nobility Clans? Because what I did didn’t actually cross that botto in the streets and injured bystanders, so I was just carrying out the duties of ht people to a the hiin Bureau should fall tountil now, everything I have done is reasonable and lawful No one would be able to point out soth is unequal, strength is righteousness When the balance of strength is equal, righteousness is strength Because the govern each other and everything I’ve done up to this point is lawful, reasonable, and justified, the Bloodline nobility Clans can only endure it no matter how much they dislike me They can only use such underhanded o on a ra to get htened by Su Chen’s explanation
No wonder those ten Bloodline nobility Clans seeh spot Their counteroffensive seerandiose
