Assassination methods often accompany problems that cannot be solved through warfare, leading to the emergence of the deadly profession of assassins. Some take on this role to support their families with the rewards, while others live day by day in pursuit of happiness. Regardless, those involved have ultimately chosen this irreversible path out of necessity. In chaotic times, survival becomes difficult, resulting in an increasing number of homeless individuals applying for this tax-free reemployment license.
As the profession of assassins gradually rises, intermediary roles have begun to appear. These individuals bear the responsibility of ensuring the employer's interests are protected while also guaranteeing that the assassin receives their due bounty upon completing the task. However, these are minor dealings; when it comes to large-scale assassination operations like the current one, only organizations with considerable power can undertake such actions! The number of Assassin Groups is few and can be counted on one hand, and they have their own rules: they will never interfere with operations against Troops. This is tantamount to declaring war on the state! If pursued, it would ultimately backfire on themselves.
However, their rules are limited to this; secretly hunting down a certain noble or minister is still permissible. Of course, the bounty is naturally a substantial sum. Ordinary people cannot even venture out, and within this context, political enemies and state figures may subtly emerge. As for confidentiality, employers need not worry; assassins trained through special means are undoubtedly professional. Such highly specialized actions place significant demands on Government investigative work. Additionally, due to some undisclosed private transactions, there are times when collusion occurs between parties involved in suppressing cases. This often leaves many cases unresolved, with very few actually solved.
Based on the above deductions, it seems unlikely that someone hired an assassin group to orchestrate this conspiracy. If that were the case, the entire situation would become much more complicated. It truly is a headache!
At this moment, Wang Jian stood beside where the assassin leader lay after taking down his target. After confirming his thoughts for a moment, he crouched down and began searching through the weeds on the ground. The most concerning sight soon appeared: a thin golden thread as fine as a hair. He gently pinched it with his fingers and examined it under the light of a flame; suddenly, his hand holding the torch trembled. He finally understood why Fan Ju was so panicked and why no experts from the criminal department had come but insisted on finding him as an amateur agent.
When it comes to governing a nation, Fan Ju has always been confident he is second to none. However, regarding on-site criminal investigations, he is nothing but an absolute novice. Since Wang Jian began wandering around, he had remained standing in place without moving. Watching Wang Jian gesturing wildly, although he did not understand what was happening, he could still affirm that Wang Jian was deducing something. To put it in his own professional terms: simulating the scene! When he saw Wang Jian stop all movements, he knew there was a conclusion; he took a deep breath and shook his head with a sigh. He jogged over without caring about his identity and squatted down.
Fan Ju, using the flickering light of the flame, clearly saw that there was an object in Wang Jian's hand shining with golden light. What could this be? Looking up at the forensic expert's expression made him suddenly realize what was happening. He sat down abruptly on the ground and began to cry loudly...
Xingling Jun had been away from Thunder Mountain Temple for some time now; as the seasons changed, the weather gradually turned cooler. With birds and beasts returning one after another, the master living in Stone House at the mountain top no longer faced hunger and cold. If they wanted to spend winter here, it was necessary to stockpile more food. Otherwise, when heavy snow blocked the mountain passes, they would have to gnaw on snow to stave off hunger. As for temperature concerns, there was no need to worry because the original owner of Stone House had already considered this. At this time, underground spring water had turned into hot springs, which directly resulted in Stone House being warm in winter and cool in summer. Although the pool at the mountain top could no longer be used for washing up, it seemed unlikely that freezing would occur during the coldest times.
On one particular morning, Luzi hummed a tune while washing wild vegetables and rinsing rice in the kitchen of Stone House. This should have been Chuchu's task; however, lately, she had been busy with who knows what. Not only had she been absent all day long but she had also neglected her duties of gathering wild fruits. This forced Luzi to step up and personally take on the role of food supply officer. While working wasn't an issue, what mattered was returning home drenched in sweat only to face a scolding.
Almost half of what was collected in her small backpack was inedible—what were you even doing out there? Were you weeding for big trees!?
Luzi, already exhausted with sore muscles and cramping legs—was it calcium deficiency!? After all that went wrong initially, she could only suppress her frustration further. But dissatisfaction could still be voiced! Thus she argued vigorously: "Hey! You little girl! I’ve worked hard my whole life just to bring back this much food; not even a word of praise!?" Saying this, she held up some wild vegetables insisting: "Look! This looks decent enough!"
Chuchu said nothing more; she sorted out what was edible from what wasn't and pointed out their differences. Gathering wild vegetables is actually quite similar to solving cases—the clues lie in subtle details! Edibles are edibles; no matter how much you argue otherwise if something isn't edible—it simply isn't! If you look at someone who resembles a suspect and label them as such—how many good people would suffer injustice in this world!
A few words left Luzi stunned, speechless and blushing. He couldn't help but sigh that the girl had officially graduated, and even surpassed her teacher! To avoid making mistakes and facing criticism again, he decided to take specimens with him every time he went out. With the continuous increase in experience, after a month, he could be considered officially graduated. In his words, this was a result of being forced into it; after all, one couldn't just stop eating, right?
In reality, that wasn't the case. The food stored in the pantry was enough for two people to indulge until spring with plenty left over. The source of this food was naturally from the camp left behind when Xingling Jun evacuated. Many items that couldn't be taken were abandoned, and it was fortunate that this person didn't order everything to be burned. However, there might be another reason: Shen Bao had secretly arranged for someone to leave supplies for Luzi without Wei Wujie's knowledge.
At this moment, what he was doing was purely finding trouble for himself. Whenever he had a moment of leisure, his mind would be filled with thoughts about governing the country and bringing peace to the world! If he didn't find something to distract himself, he would surely become a grumpy old man!
Weren't there two people on the mountain top? Where was Chuchu? Of course, she was busy doing what she loved! Ever since she discovered that there was a hidden door here, this tough girl managed to open what seemed like an unsolvable stone door in just half a day. This happened right after Luzi announced that the door was merely a fake; it opened immediately. This left the well-educated man astonished and questioning whether this master of mechanisms knew anything else! How could someone so young understand so much?
