Outside, the sun was high in the sky, and Tang Ming was earnestly wiping his sword. This sword looked very good, the jade hilt was excellent, and the blade was sharp. This sword had been by Tang Ming's side since childhood.

At this moment, Luo Ling hurriedly ran in and said, "Yes, senior brother."

Tang Ming's expression did not change, "Where is Constable Lin?"

"He went to find Grand Master, and told me to come here and tell Senior Brother about the investigation." Luo Ling took a sip of tea and said, "We went to the store to ask, according to the waiter, there was indeed someone who came to the store that night with some skill, because it was too dark, and that person claimed to be his friend, so he couldn't return home after getting drunk. The waiter talked for a while, and after finding out that the person didn't need his help, he left, but strangely, the waiter remembered to lock the door himself, but when that person came in, he didn't knock at all, making the waiter think that he hadn't locked the door, so he went down to take a look."

"When I was moved to an inn, what technique was there before?" Tang Ming asked as he sheathed his sword.

"In the brothel." Luo Ling even slammed the table as he said, "I told you I was going to the brothel that day. Senior Brother, you're not going. If you go, you might even find something."

"If you want to say it, then say it properly. Don't slam the table every now and then." Tang Ming glanced at Luo Ling and said, "You're still paying attention to these things after you've gone to the brothel?"

Luo Ling pursed his lips, "Alright, I got it. According to what the waiter said, the killer's gender should be around twenty years old and over seven feet tall, but because he kept his head down, he was unable to clearly see the killer's face. On the other side of the brothel, there is someone accompanying him … "Yes, the girl said she saw the other person's face. That person called himself a good friend of his. His face was handsome and his speech was gentle. Not long after he fell, he took away his friend."

"Speaking in a gentle manner, this person might be a scholar." Tang Ming knocked on the table. Not long after, Lin Hao pushed open the door and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for making Young Hero Tang wait."

"I'm fine." Tang Ming smiled, "I wonder if Constable Lin has any leads?"

Lin Hao shook his head, "I can only ask where I can learn from him."

"I have another question." Tang Ming politely opened his mouth, "In that inn, are there any people who have worked for a long time who accidentally left?"

"No, but there was one who was killed by some sort of technique a few months ago." Lin Hao shook his head, "But that person's family is all dead, and his only son is a weak scholar."

"If a scholar were to commit a crime, he would be much more terrifying than others, especially a smart scholar." Tang Ming had a smile that was not a smile on his face, making those who saw him feel numb.

"Young Hero Tang suspects Du Huang, that's impossible. I have interacted with him before, he's not that kind of person." Lin Hao waved his hand.

Tang Ming nodded and remained silent. At this moment, a police officer pushed open the door and said, "Brother Lin Hao, it's bad. Gu Fang Academy is dead as well. It's the same as what spell we used to kill them."

"What?"

Lin Hao stood up abruptly. As the chair fell to the ground, the sound it made was not small. Tang Ming's hand that was holding onto his sword couldn't help but tighten.

"Young Hero Tang …" Lin Hao wanted to say something but stopped. Tang Ming also stood up, "I'll quickly make a trip to this Gu Fang Institute with Constable Lin. I hope Constable Lin won't mind leaving me alone."

Lin Hao breathed a sigh of relief, "Sorry for the trouble."

Gu Fang College

Tang Ming and the other two had just entered the academy when they heard someone shout happily, "The constable is here!"

The person who came out to receive them was a man in his forties, "My surname is Cai, may I know what your names are?"

"Mister, you're too polite. My surname is Lin. These two are the disciples of the Cloud Sky Sect, Young Hero Tang and Young Hero Luo." After Lin Hao politely introduced them, he went straight to the point. "Can we meet the deceased?"

"Sure." After saying that, Mr. Cai sighed. "That child is really pitiful."

"Sir, are you not afraid at all?" Tang Ming asked with narrowed eyes.

Mr. Cai smiled. "This old man has worked in the court and has never seen anything perverted before. Only the kids in the academy fainted at the sight of some blood. Please come with me."

Tang Ming vaguely understood that this mister wasn't simple, but he didn't ask about it. Who didn't have a story or two?

This child's name is Gu Le. His studies are usually not good and he also likes to play tricks. This morning and into the afternoon, he didn't even come to class. Mr. Cai showed the three to a room. "This is Gu Le's room."

Tang Ming subconsciously looked at Luo Ling: "You're waiting outside?"

Luo Ling gritted his teeth and said, "I want to go in."

Tang Ming also objected, "Don't mess things up."

As he said this, Tang Ming followed Lin Hao inside, and the smell of blood assaulted his nostrils. Tang Ming endured it, barely able to resist the urge to poke his acupoints.

"Ugh –"

Tang Ming turned around and found that Luo Ling was already leaning against the wall, retching.

"This person … Young hero, is this your first time going out? " Mr. Cai hesitated for a moment before asking Lin Hao.

"I... I'm fine, I'll be fine in a moment... "Ugh …" Luo Ling quickly waved his hand and said, "You all, continue."

Tang Ming really couldn't bear to see his junior brother's cowardly appearance. He took out a pearl and flicked it at his acupoint, sealing Luo Ling's sense of smell.

"Hiss …" Although the spot where Luo Ling held the pearl had hit hurt, he knew Tang Ming was doing it for his own good, so he didn't complain.

"Young Hero Tang, come over here and take a look." Lin Hao carefully lifted Gu Le's hand. Tang Ming immediately saw the tattoo on Gu Le's hand.

"Do you remember Du Huang?" Mr. Cai suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Lin Hao raised his head. "Didn't I send him away?"

"He's back, this morning." Mr. Cai sighed. "He left in a hurry again."

Lin Hao's face was filled with disbelief. "How is this possible?"

"Excuse me, may I ask what's going on with Du Huang?" Tang Ming interrupted in confusion.

Lin Hao recovered from his shock and remembered Tang Ming and his junior brother, who didn't know anything, and explained, "This is a long story …"

So it turned out that Du Huang was also a student of the Gu Fang Institute. He was an Elementary Scholar at the age of sixteen and was quite famous in the academy.

His mother had been bedridden all year round, and the entire family's burden was on his father, who worked in the inn. Du Huang had repeatedly tried to quit school, but all of them had been beaten back by his father.

It was a pity that the good news did not last long. Du Huang's father had accidentally provoked some sort of technique that broke his father's leg on the spot, and then, locked him up, causing his father to disappear. Not long after, his mother also became ill from the worry and concern for his death, and in addition to her poor health, she died of a serious illness soon after.

Du Huang had a little sister, who was very pleasing to the eyes. After Mother Du died, she was somehow tricked into a brothel. In order to prove her innocence, Little Sister Du committed suicide in front of a guest.

After Little Sister Du died, Du Huang gave him a beating. In a breath, he sent Du Huang to join the army.

Coincidentally, the inn where Father Du worked was where Tang Ming and his disciple stayed.

"Later on, I secretly released Du Huang. What happened afterwards, I don't know anymore." Lin Hao rubbed his temples.

"But what does that have to do with Gu Le?" Luo Ling came over and asked.

Tang Ming looked at Luo Ling and immediately set his gaze on Mr. Cai.

"It's probably because little sister Du was sent to the brothel by Gu Le." Under Tang Ming's gaze, Mister Cai slowly spoke up, "Gu Le has a bad character and is extremely jealous. Du Huang has always been the most outstanding student in the academy, and if he were to grow up, he should be comparable to the famous Scholar Li from five years ago. After Sister Du's accident, this old man had a vague idea that this matter was related to Gu Le. Heaven is playing with us. "

Tang Ming patted Lin Hao's shoulder and said, "Since you know who the culprit is, then you should quickly catch him. I really want to know just where he got the Worryfree Water from."

Lin Hao nodded his head solemnly.

"And …" Tang Ming stared at Lin Hao seriously, "Immediately send someone to protect the outside of Steward He …" "No, I will go. I hope that Constable Lin can look after my junior brother."

"He'll make a move against Captain He?" Lin Hao was perplexed at first, but then firmly refused: "Impossible, Steward He is the benefactor and Du Family, and mother Du Huang's life was saved by someone other than Steward He, not to mention his father's work was introduced by Steward He. Even if he really did harm some technique, he is definitely not an ungrateful person."

"Will there be a result within two days if we make a move against Captain He?" Tang Ming calmly looked at Lin Hao and said, "Before that, all prevention is necessary."

After thinking for a while, Lin Hao still agreed with Tang Ming's words.

"No!" Luo Lingyi jumped out and said, "Senior brother, you can't leave me behind. Master gave me to you, not to this stupid rat."

The corners of Lin Hao's mouth twitched. "Stupid rat?"

"What? You have an objection?" Luo Ling hid behind Tang Ming and made a face at Lin Hao, "If you have any objections, hold it in."

"It seems like my junior apprentice-brother will have to take it with him." Tang Ming glanced at Luo Ling as he spoke with an apologetic tone.
