Before long, a City Guard Army guard came to Gongsun Wuji's side and said in a deep voice.
"Very well, under whose orders?"
Gongsun Wuji nodded and asked in a deep voice.
Reporting to Commander, they said that they were bribed by Hall Master Zhao of the Black Dragon Guild to wait for a young man called Ye Fan here tonight.
the city guard replied.
"That's all?"
Gongsun Wuji could not help but frown. Just this matter alone could not explain anything.
"According to their own confessions, that's all they know."
the city guard replied.
"Let's go down and try again!" Do the city guards know anything? "
Gongsun Wuji asked in a deep voice.
"The guards are all off duty today. They only said that Captain Ma gave them each 100 crystals and told them to follow them here to capture someone. They didn't know anything else."
the city guard replied.
"Alright, I understand. Let's go down and try again."
Gongsun Wuji waved his hand and ordered the city guards to continue interrogating him.
"Lord Gongsun, although we have yet to find out who the real culprit is, we can already tell that this has to be a premeditated event."
Old mister Nan said from the side with a stern face.
"Elder Nan is right, this matter is indeed premeditated. It seems that little brother Ye is indeed being targeted."
Gongsun Wuji said to Ye Fan with an apologetic expression, immediately causing Ye Fan to feel flattered.
Of course, Ye Fan understood in his heart that it was impossible for Gongsun Wuji to apologize to him just because of his own strength. Now, he only felt that the Old Master Nan was standing up for him, and thus thought that he was in cahoots with the Old Master Nan.
If Gongsun Wuji knew that he and this old Daoist did not know each other, he would probably want to slap him a few times!
Thinking to this, Ye Fan couldn't help but look at the South Lord, who was beside him. He couldn't help but raise a trace of suspicion in his heart. Or was there some other purpose?
But what could an expert like the South Lord receive from him? What other intentions could he have? Ye Fan really couldn't understand.
"Lord Gongsun, now that Captain Ma is dead, I'm afraid it's very difficult to find any useful clues from these people. I think the most important thing right now is to capture the Black Dragon Guild's Pavilion Master Zhao, otherwise, the real culprit would really get away with it!"
Ye Fan said to Gongsun Wuji.
"Mm, what you said is true. "Someone come, quickly go and capture Zhao Fan. Today, I must find out who the mastermind is!"
Gongsun Wuji nodded his head, then turned to a small city guard commander standing behind him and said.
"Yes, Commander!"
The little commander nodded in agreement and then led a group of people straight towards the Black Dragon Guild. However, they were only halfway there when they returned with a corpse.
Zhao Fan was actually dead!
"Looks like Zhao Fan has also been silenced. The murderer must have gotten out."
The South Lord said as he looked at the corpse on the stretcher.
"Now that the clues have been cut off, it'll be difficult to catch the real culprit."
Gongsun Wuji also said with a frown.
Ye Fan also frowned, he could only say that the culprit was too smart, and constructed layers and layers of plans, as long as one of them was broken, it would be hard to continue tracking him down.
However, Ye Fan was very clear that he was very close to the truth. Otherwise, the mastermind would not have killed Zhao Fan. Zhao Fan's existence must have threatened him!
"Sir Gongsun, I think today's farce is over. How to catch the real culprit is a matter for the City Guards. I will be taking this little brother away."
When the South Lord saw that the clues had been cut off, he stood up and spoke to Gongsun Wuji.
"Take care, Old Master Nan. If this sort of thing were to happen, it would be a shame to Old Master Nan. I will definitely clean up the mess and make these brats suffer. Let's see if they still dare to mess around in the future!"
Gongsun Wuji hastily sent him off with a smiling face.
"That's your problem, I don't care."
Old Man Nan smiled slightly, then walked outside.
Ye Fan and the others also followed closely behind Old Master Nan as they walked out. At the same time, they nodded their heads in thanks to Gongsun Wuji, who also sent them off with a smile.
After waiting for Old Man Nan and Ye Fan to leave, Gongsun Wuji turned to the Vice Commander of the City Guards standing beside him and said: "Find out about this young man's background. Put his information in my study before dawn tomorrow."
"Yes, Commander!"
"Yes." The Vice Commander replied and quickly retreated, disappearing into the night with his men.
Thereafter, Gongsun Wuji led his men in a symbolic search of the interior and exterior of the Taibai Restaurant before withdrawing his troops and returning to the camp. He knew very well that it was impossible to catch the culprit in the Taibai Restaurant.
Ye Fan followed along behind the South Lord, and very quickly, they arrived at a secluded alley.
"How long are you going to follow me? Do you want me to send you home? "
Old Man Nan said in a low voice, his tone carried a bit of displeasure, as if he was blaming Ye Fan and the others.
