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.

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.

This news must not be leaked..
