Chapter 314.2: Probing (2/2)
“It’s very likely. I heard the government’s coroner say that those cuts were very precise and seemed to have been made by an experienced person.” Lin Shuxuan then shuddered. “More importantly, after that first case, County Magistrate Tao sent people to protect the most likely second victim, but the result still turned out the same. No matter how many people guarded the person, he still ended up dying from being bled dry.”
“The person that did this was definitely very skilled,” said Tang Doudou. “Is it still happening?”
“This is also a strange part. At the start, it had happened frequently, but lately the occurrences have decreased. It’s probably because that dark art has been complete!”
The two continued to converse like this for half the day. Tang Doudou managed to faintly get some clues. She didn’t dare to be too obvious in her goal so whenever they broached the subject, she would take the initiative to soon direct the conversation to another topic in order to avoid arousing Lin Shuxuan’s suspicions.
As time passed, Tang Doudou saw that they didn’t show any intentions of going down to fight over the embroidered balls and were only here to watch the show. Soon, she started getting drowsy. Just as her eyelids were about to close, she vaguely saw a person’s figure.
Although it wasn’t very clear, she instantly recognized that figure and abruptly stood up to jump off the stage.
“B-brother… Tang…” Lin Shuxuan, who had still been chattering nonstop, only saw a blur before Tang Doudou disappeared from sight. His jaw dropped. There was no way Tang Longbiao only learned ‘a little martial arts,’ just this qinggong was already on a godly level!
“Young Master Jun, this Tang Longbiao is probably not that simple!” The men behind him finally reacted and started discussing this.
“Humph, of course I know that he’s not simple. Since he’s also probing us, let’s just see who slips up first! All of you, be careful! Don’t let him notice anything, especially you, Li Ziyu, got it!?”
“I got it, Young Master Lin.”
“What exactly did he see? He didn’t even say goodbye…” muttered Lin Shuxuan. Then he stood up and said, “You guys stay and watch this place, I’m going to go follow him.”
“This…”
Lin Shuxuan glowered at them. “You guys had better listen to me, otherwise I’ll send you guys to that place. Let’s see if you guys dare to misbehave then!”
When ‘that place’ was brought up, their faces immediately paled and they went silent.
Lin Shuxuan gave another humph, then got up and walked off the stage while fanning himself with the fan.
Nearby, County Magistrate said to the imperial envoy, “This Young Master Lin is very suspicious!”
