Gu Chengrui asked the neighbors. The person’s name was Sun Liang, and he had been working as a clerk in the grain store. After the disaster, he was the only one left in the house.

He was fired because he drank too much before the New Year and delayed a significant business deal. He had been working part-time recently and only found a job at a tavern a few days ago.

Gu Chengrui saw that an auntie knew the deceased well, and he asked, “Have you seen anyone with him recently?”

“I’m really not sure about that, but he has a few friends who often drink with him. Why don’t you ask them? Perhaps they might know.”

“Thank you; I’ll have to trouble you to point the way.”

The auntie did not wait and immediately led the soldiers to search for them. Soon, three people were found. One of them was dead, and although the other two were not dead, they were already unconscious.

After asking around, they were all single.

Gu Chengrui immediately brought in more men to deal with the dead bodies. As for the two people who were still alive, they were carefully disinfected and quarantined.

He found the place where the three of them worked. It was a grain shop and a carpenter shop.

The people in the carpenter’s shop were fine. They were still alive and well, but they were still quarantined.

After that, Gu Chengrui brought his men to the grain shop. However, it was empty.

When they reached the grain shop manager’s house, they found that the manager was already dead.

After asking the neighbors, he learned that the manager’s family had all returned to their hometown a month ago.

The manager had mentioned that since his shop did not make money, he was selling the shop to return to his hometown.

When Gu Chengrui heard this, he immediately sent someone to the government to investigate the manager’s background.

If he hadn’t investigated, he wouldn’t have known the origin. He was shocked. This grain shop and manager originally belonged to the Marquis of Ding’an. But after the disaster, the manager bought the shop from the Marquis of Ding’an and started his own business.

Gu Chengrui could not help but mutter. Could it be that King Hui had returned and that he had deliberately started this epidemic?

He immediately told the Emperor his findings.

After the Emperor received the news, he was shocked. “What should have come is finally here. Fortunately, I didn’t send my wives out to hide. Otherwise, I’m afraid I would have fallen into a trap.”

After that, he gave Gu Chengrui his gold medal and gave him full authority to handle this matter.

After Gu Chengrui received the gold medal, everything became more convenient. He arranged for all the districts in the capital to go under lockdown and started a door-to-door check to eliminate hidden dangers.

After he was done for the day, he took off his gloves and had a meal. He grabbed the pendant hanging around his neck and told Zhou Ying about his suspicion of this epidemic.

He also asked her to help investigate and see if she could find the whereabouts of King Hui and the others.

After Zhou Ying received the news that night, she huffed, “As expected of King Hui. His methods are so cruel and ruthless. He doesn’t take human lives seriously.

“Fortunately, he did not have the destiny to be the emperor, or else the country would definitely suffer.”

After that, she searched the entire capital. After four hours, she finally found Sun Wenhao and his group in the village in the western suburbs.

There weren’t many people—only about a hundred or so.

However, looking at the murderous look on their faces, it seemed that they were all fugitives.

What puzzled her was that she actually saw through his disguise.

It seemed the reason she couldn’t find King Hui last time was that he had escaped quickly, not because she had been careless.

After she found him, she glanced at Gu Chengrui. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, she did not disturb him. She only told him the results after she had breakfast with Guoguo the next day.

On the other end, Gu Chengrui received the news from Zhou Ying and had a headache. He thought that those people would be in the capital, not in a manor.

What should he do now? The problem was that he could not start a massive search. If he let them escape, it would be difficult to catch them again.
