Chapter 162: An Unexpected Teacher Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

There were ns which pointed to the presence of a traitor within Kun Society, and furthermore that he or she was of an important position

Gu Shenwei had already reached this conclusion after Shangguan Ru was abducted in the deserted village TheMaster and Slave Huan to know that there was a great disparity in their Lightness Skills

Subsequently, during the duel in Rouge Forest, the assailant apparently understood Slave Huan’s tactics and waited patiently nearby

Even fewer people knew about the ca shi+’an, yet the squad still fell into the enemy’s trap Had Gu Shenwei not called off the mission at the last possible moment, the casualties would perhaps not have been limited to one killer

The first person whouan Yushi+

Master Yu naturally would not think about har Master; her ivable et rid of hiuan Ru’s trust

In thewhich Gu Shenwei could not make sense of, and that was the question of why the assassin wanted to kill Ye Silang in Rouge Forest

There seemed to be a connection between these ether, yet there also appeared to be contrasting motives Gu Shenas unable to come up with a holistic explanation, and so he did not reveal all of his suspicions to Tenth Young Master

“Allow me to find out who the mole is”

Moles and traitors were the types of people whouan Ru hated the most However, she was somewhat hesitant this ti Master’s eyes, the status of “Slave Huan” was currently declining

“Alright, but keep it a secret I don’t want everyone to become suspicious of each other”

Gu Shenwei bowed and accepted the instructions “I’ll conduct the investigation alone”

When he returned to South City, Gu Shenwei thought through everything several times He realized that he had very few clues at hand, and did not even knohere to begin fros had kept up the covert investigation of the deaths of Marquis Gao and Zhou Huan, and although they found out a fair bit of infor useful to identify the true murderer or even ascertain the existence of one

Male prostitutes were very popular in Jade City Most of the rich sons in North City owned such a plaything or two Zhou Huan was a little different frohtly old for a male prostitute, yet his relationshi+p with Marquis Gao re and stable The latter had even helped hi Riceshop

Shopkeeper Mi’s claim that contradictions arose between them was indeed true Like most ordinary couples, they often bickered Theheart – he was attracted to both males and females The last quarrel between them was more intense than usual, and it happened on the last day of the twelveth lunar month, when Marquis Gao secretly entered South City

On that day, Marquis Gao came to visit Zhou Huan, but after a quarrel, he went to find a female prostitute

nobody had witnessed the quarrel, but a few people who entered Heng Sheng Riceshop after the fact discovered that the whole shop appeared to have been ransacked by robbers, and there were debris and rice grains scattered all over the floor Zhou Huan was seen sitting on a rice barrel giggling foolishly, and when he noticed the visitors, he flew into a rage and drove all of them out

Based on these accounts, it seemed likely that Zhou Huan had indeed committed homicide and suicide in a heat of passion

But Gu Shenwei remained skeptical He had seen Zhou Huan’s body with his own eyes; the wound on the neck was very deep, and did not seem possible to be inflicted upon oneself However, because he had not seen the corpses of other suicide cases, he dared not confir

When the co Huan’s invitation to visit Xu Yanwei’s house in the afternoon the next day, he, as usual, agreed and brought along two junior officers

They were already “old friends”, and always had interesting conversations The banquet swiftly began Because Gu Shenas a terrible drinker, he enlisted Tuo Nengya, together with the Xu siblings, to uests drank to their hearts’ content

During the dinner, Gu Shenwei thanked Coradually changed the topic to Marquis Gao’s death Having drunk a little too much, Xu Xiaoyi was not his usual cautious and meticulous self He unexpectedly thumped the table and stood up “I simply don’t believe that Marquis Gao was murdered by Zhou Huan It’s not as if they hadn’t quarreled before How could things escalate to the extent of lass down “I’htly surprised “Ah, what flaw has Co his thin beard, Zhong Heng appeared hesitant about whether or not to speak the truth “A large part of it is based on my experience I’ve been involved in many houilt or fear of punishment However, I’ve rarely seen a case like Zhou Huan’s where the murderer only takes his own life a few days after his cri to do for most people, and is either done when emotions are at their most intense or not at all”

Gu Shenwei felt that this explanation was very reasonable He had discovered the corpse on the fifth day of the first lunar month, and many experienced machetemen surmised that Zhou Huan had died two or three days prior, which meant his death took place on the second or third day of the first lunar month This was three or four days removed from Marquis Gao’s death

Xu Yanwei held on to her robe horrifiedly “This means a murderer killed both of them That’s terrible! And to think Marquis Gao was such a nice person”

The female prostitutes were neverof male prostitutes – there was no direct competition between them anyway
