Chapter: 2004
That�s why the officials had only roughly collected the bodies and didn�t properly investigate the cause.
Pyo-wol began to carefully examine the charred remains of the Poyang Lake branch.
Although his face and body became covered in black soot, he paid no attention to it.
�They have been attacked.�
Pyo-wol found traces of weapons imprinted on a burnt pillar.�
It was the mark left by a powerful weapon like a sword or axe, and it wasn�t just one or two marks.�
Although they were not visible under the ashes, traces of fights were discovered throughout the area. Moreover, the marks belonged to different weapons.
It wasn�t just one or two people who were mobilized. It was clear that at least a dozen or more armed individuals were involved in the attack.
�It was an organized attack.�
It had been five days since Pyo-wol had set out from Lake Tai.�
If the fire had happened here at that time, the Lake Tai branch would have known about it. But the Lake Tai branch hadn�t heard of such an incident.�
It was clear that someone had deliberately blocked the information here.
The organization that has the most extensive information network in the world is the Hao clan. So, the fact that the attackers were able to neutralize and blind the eyes and ears of the Hao clan�s information network demonstrated how capable they were.
There was nothing more to be gained here.
Pyo-wol brushed off the ashes from his body and walked outside.
The boy was also no longer in sight.�
Pyo-wol�s next stop was the office that had taken care of the bodies.
When Pyo-wol mentioned that he wanted to see the bodies, an official replied with a sigh,
�Well, you�re too late, they�ve all been cremated.�
�Cremated?�
�Nobody came to claim the bodies, and they were decaying, emitting a strong odor, so we had no choice.�
The official said that all the bodies had turned to ashes and were scattered in the river.
With that, all the clues related to the Hao clan were gone.�
But Pyo-wol didn�t give up.
Ting!
He flicked a coin towards the official, who chuckled in return,
�Hehe! Well, what else are you curious about?�
�Has there been a wealthy person who recruited a theater troupe recently?�
Xielao Manor1 was located on the most scenic hill in Poyang Lake. It was considered one of the most affluent neighborhoods in Poyang Lake.
Among those who had manors or mansions in this place, there was not a single person who was not a person of power. The security measures were thorough, and the vigilance towards outsiders was strict. JrNovels.com
