Chapter 3290: Chapter 3290: It’s Really Hard to Find the Killer
It’s quite strange, the clan guards came to Rock City for business, why would they bring a child? He clearly saw the child sitting inside, the curtain lifted by the wind.
He looked up and glanced at the leader.
He better not say anything, to avoid getting scolded by the leader again, maybe even worse.
Admitting fault is never wrong, since those people have already left, what is there to doubt? Let this matter be settled, and don’t let the leader bring it up again.
"At that time, I really didn’t expect those people to be from major clans."
He thought, the other gatekeepers wouldn’t see the leader, so his words wouldn’t be exposed. Just leave it at that, it won’t cause any trouble.
"Useless!"
The leader glared at him fiercely.
It was just a small matter, yet it weighed on his mind for so long. The people under him, they truly are a bunch of useless people!
"Did you find out who killed the people chasing the civilians?" he asked again.
"Uh!"
The man below choked.
He really hadn’t found out, previously thinking those people were from the Sect, instinctively shifting the blame onto them, to avoid his own responsibility.
But looking at it now, it doesn’t seem so. Those people were just here to pick someone up, they certainly wouldn’t cause trouble for themselves.
So, the person who killed their colleagues must be someone else.
But who could it be? There wasn’t a single Sect disciple who entered the city today, and the ones who entered previously, upon seeing evil cultivators like them in grey robes, would immediately draw their swords and attack.
As if not making a scene would be letting them down.
If they were from the Sect, they wouldn’t have come so quietly, and besides, even if they came as a team from the Sect, it wouldn’t be possible to kill so many of their colleagues without making any noise.
Moreover, none of them escaped; they all died.
"Leader, when we arrived, we didn’t find any clues, aside from the poison and the sword marks on their bodies. We really couldn’t find any clues.
And that poison, I haven’t seen it before, it’s really difficult to find the culprit."
He appeared troubled as he looked at the leader. In fact, he was truly troubled, as he was no detective, how would he know who killed those people?
And looking at the injuries on those people, it didn’t seem like it was caused by any special abilities of a Sect, they were poisoned first and then killed with a sword, ruthlessly.
"Continue the investigation, no matter who they are, they definitely have entered the city. You have two days to find out where those people are staying," the leader ordered.
The subordinate: "..."
Two days to investigate people whose existence is still unknown?
Might as well wait for heaven to strike him with lightning and kill him. How could he possibly figure this out? He should have never mentioned the people entering the city, that way, maybe there wouldn’t be so much trouble.
"Yes, I will go investigate immediately."
What else could he do? He had to comply, whether he finds out in the end or not, that’s not up to him to decide.
Anyway, even if he couldn’t find out, the leader couldn’t kill him, right?
...
In the pitch-dark courtyard, a group of people sat together, having their first meal after entering Rock City.
Dry naan with a pot of meat and vegetable soup, along with some crispy roasted suckling pigmeat contributed by the little baby, it was quite a good meal. At least while traveling, they didn’t even have hot meat and vegetable soup.
