Mo Fan was smart enough to know that Leng Qing was implying something. He lowered his voice and asked, ”Big sis, do you know something?”
”My people have access to some information, and I also spent some time investigating the identities of the first two corpses that were found after the snake appeared in the city. I didn't find anything useful, but someone seems very suspicious now.” Leng Qing was fairly tall and was currently bearing a sharp gaze. Her aura was quite different from the girls with cold personalities.
Luckily, she was Lingling's sister. Otherwise, Mo Fan would simply not approach a woman like her.
”Big sis, are you suspicious about… the plague?” Mo Fan noticed something from Leng Qing's tone.
”Do you want to save the snake?” asked Leng Qing.
Both Li Tian and Leng Qing were leaning towards the side of the Totem Guardians. They had already asked Mr. Lu who was leading the medical team. He mentioned that even though the blood of the Black Totem Snake was able to resist the virus, it was not enough to cure it. It implied that the Black Totem Snake was not the true cause of the plague.
Besides, White Town was severely impacted when the outbreak took place, but the Black Totem Snake was staying at West Lake before. If he were the cause of the plague, the most serious outbreak would have happened to the people close to the lake instead.
The Elder of the Magic Court Li Tian and Leng Qing had both been investigating the incident. They had acquired some leads, but they were unable to sort out who their real targets were.
”I do, but...” Mo Fan glanced at the dispirited Tangyue sitting at on the edge of the causeway.
Mo Fan knew they did not have any convincing proof, but his instinct was telling him that the Black Totem Snake was not evil.
Mo Fan felt rather down, as he had never seen his Miss Tangyue so helpless before.
”My people have been allocated to West Fortress. I didn't have anyone to help. If you're willing to assist me, head to White Town at once and see if there's any trace of other demon beasts,” said Leng Qing.
”I thought someone had already investigated it. Would it make any difference?” said Mo Fan.
White Town was the place of the outbreak, thus the government would have sent Magic Court people over. What could he possibly find there?
”If someone were purposely hiding the truth, or preventing people from finding the true cause, the government's efforts would have been in vain. I've already asked Lingling to go to White Town. You will regroup with her there. Remember, we don't have much time. Once the White Magic Falcons are driven back, Zhu Meng would surely come and kill the Black Totem Snake straight away. There's nothing we could do once the beast is dead, and it would be even harder to discover the truth,” said Leng Qing sternly.
”So big sis was already investigating it. Don't worry, if there is indeed something fishy at White Town, I promise I'll find it!” declared Mo Fan, tapping his chest.
”Great, we'll move separately. Please find the truth before they return!” said Leng Qing.
”I've no clue where to start from. What shall I do first?” blurted out Mo Fan.
”I've already sent the information to Lingling. She will give you the debrief.”
”Fine.”
