Gu Shenwei and Zhong Heng ca In front of Co did not coone into action without his permission He only stretched and said, “Huh, I’m lucky to have such a capable apprentice Look, he cracked the case all by himself”

Gu Shenwei did not respond to hisall of his findings

The tavern did not serve alcoholic beverages in thecould only lick his lips repeatedly during the conversation “So, the siblings weren’t the witnesses to the murder, but they’re actually thethat, Gu Shenwei felt upset and nearly opened his , but his ree He could not understand why his mentor showed acceptance instead of conte did not s The two began to chat, sharing lots of common topics, such as drinks, the weather, and beautiful woan to talk about Golden Roc Fort and the Meng faly trivial and superficial snation

“So, that’s it?”

“Yes, that’s It”

After ending his conversation with Tie Hanfeng, Zhong Heng left the tavern

Tie Hanfeng picked up an empty cup to check if there was any liquor left and then threw it to the ground disappointedly

The waiters on the day shi+ft ca the had to take his apprentice to find another place to stay Not long after they left the tavern, he took his apprentice to a shabby brothel

Everyone inside the brothel was sleeping, but Tie Hanfeng just went directly into a bedroom without a care, as if he owned this place He picked up the sleeping prostitute froether with her quilt The prostitute shrilled and cursed hi another place to sleep

This was the first ti said to his apprentice, “Get some rest Just help yourself”

Gu Shenho had just begun to have respect for his ain He would never want to touch anything there, so he just stood in the room and asked querulously, “Is the problerown up Come on, tellto use the siblings as scapegoats”

“Scapegoats? They have a motive to kill Pot-bellied Buddha and Ju Gaotai, and now they’ve fled in fear of being punished They hired you to kill their father and at the same time, took the chance to set you up to be identified as the prince’s et too excited about that We s and send them to the Jus’ residence, dead or alive”

Evidently, Tie Hanfeng just wanted to give the Stone Kingdom a reasonable explanation and did not care about who the real an to realize what Zhong Hengthe problem”

Slave Huan, an ordinary killer apprentice, had been Zhong Heng’s first choice for the prince’s ured out a way to ensure his apprentice’s safety Given that, Zhong Heng had to find another doh evidence to accuse Xu Yanwei and her brother of killing Pot-bellied Buddha and Ju Gaotai No one would doubt Xu Yanwei’s motive to kill her terrible father and her whoremaster who had often sexually abused her Besides, no one would care much about a prostitute and a thief or stand out to speak for them; which made the Heng just wished to close this case as soon as possible without offending any powerful people in Jade City Compared to the truth, he cared more about both his career and his future

He needed to solve this case properly, since it was not a siotten involved in it Zhong Heng and Tie Hanfeng believed that they had already found a solution to make every party satisfied, but Gu Shenwei still refused to accept it

“No, I can’t agree,” he blurted Even he hi justice or si his mentor He intuitively felt that he did not want to fras

“Do you really believe that they’re innocent?” Tie Hanfeng asked curiously

Gu Shenas speechless He realized that he had focused too ’s sneaky schelected a simple fact, which was Xu Yanwei did have the motive to kill Ju Gaotai

“Do you know that Ju Gaotai borrowed a large su faone It s who stole the money”

“We still have ti finally lost his patience He ju, “Fck! Who do you think you are? I fulfilllife, and you want to play the hero? If you fail to find the siblings before toive it to the Stone Kingdo that you killed the prince, the prostitute named Shen Yanshi+, and all the btches that died recently in Pleasure Alley Don’t bla’s words did not irritate Gu Shenwei Instead, it somehow calmed him down He was unable to refute his mentor and ell aware that he was just a nobody in Jade City, who could not ensure his own safety, let alone protect someone else

“No s first”

Tie Hanfeng thought his apprentice finally gave in He snorted loudly and returned to his bed

At noon on the next day, Zhong Heng invited the that he should have invited them to a better restaurant in North City

After spending a quiet afternoon, Tie Hanfeng invited Zhong Heng to dinner in a siht three officers with hi also invited another friend to the dinner During the dinner, they chatted casually about s

For the had already been settled beforehand They just needed to wait for the siblings to fall into the trap to solve the case

After the dinner, Tie Hanfeng did not return to Southwall Tavern to spend the night He brought his apprentice to a mid-priced brothel Since South City had no hotels, they had no other choice

Gu Shenwei had to put up with really loud sex noises ht In his sleep, he dreamed about many weird scenes that he was too asha, they still did not receive any news of the siblings

Tie Hanfeng was unusually quiet and often looked at his apprentice profoundly Gu Shenwei had no doubts of what hiswould kill hioat today
