Chapter 89: Chrysanthemum Shoes and Fresh Durian

Chapter 90: Disaster Approaching

"This person is truly ruthless."

It was almost dusk. Two constables stood at the edge of the bamboo grove. After a long while, Chief Constable Chen murmured these words.

"What's wrong?"

"He sat right here."

As if he had immersed himself in the situation, Chief Constable Chen took an uncomfortable deep breath. He squatted down and picked up a branch nearby. This small area was mostly bamboo. The branch in front of him had clearly been broken off from elsewhere, and its leaves were already slightly withered.

"He must have been waiting for someone here. He probably sat on this side; any stool or chair would have been burned by now. He had waited for quite some time. He was severely injured but had no intention of leaving, still waiting here. By this time, he might have already killed Yang Yi and Yang Heng's family."

As he spoke, he gazed at the ruins on the riverbank. He plucked a leaf, considered it for a moment, then put it into his mouth, his brows immediately furrowing.

"This isn't right. This isn't how that female assassin operates. If it truly were a martial arts expert, they wouldn't have sustained such severe injuries."

Deputy Constable Xu, who was standing nearby, also frowned. "Are you saying that Gu Yanzhen's case was committed by someone else?"

"Very likely, extremely likely. That person..." Chief Constable Chen paused. "...That person killed Yang Yi and Yang Heng's family due to certain reasons. He was injured, severely so, yet he still waited here. Then, Gu Yanzhen and his servant arrived, and he killed them both. Look at the ground here."
