Chapter 737 446: Autumn Hunt and Heaven Sacrifice (Part 3)

"Dead Man's Blade?"

Duan Rong and Zhu Zhengfu were slightly taken aback upon hearing the words.

Zhu Cheng continued, "To be more precise, this blade is a piece of evidence."

"Evidence?"

"Yes," Zhu Cheng replied. "This is a case from two years ago. Normally, according to the Ministry of Justice's practice, if a case has been concluded, the evidence is moved out from the evidence room and transferred to the warehouse after a year. Otherwise, after many years, the evidence room simply can't hold everything."

Zhu Zhengfu frowned and asked Zhu Cheng, "Is the management at the warehouse strict?"

Zhu Cheng replied, "Not too strict, but those who can enter the warehouse must be from the Ministry of Justice."

Zhu Zhengfu said, "So, the person who visited the manor last night is very likely to be someone from the Ministry of Justice?"

Zhu Cheng replied, "Exactly."

Duan Rong sat there but clicked his tongue repeatedly.

It seems the waiter's plan was quite thorough; had he not used Divine Sense to see his face last night, even he would have believed that the visitor was someone from the Ministry of Justice.

As Duan Rong thought to himself, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

He thought of something, just as Zhu Cheng said, the ones who can enter the warehouse must be from the Ministry of Justice. So who exactly handed the Mo Saber over to that waiter at Taihe Building?

Duan Rong suddenly recalled someone.

It was half a year ago when he entered Divine Cloud Prefecture to assist in investigating the mysterious death of Minister of the Secretariat Zhu Shizhong.

The clerk at the Ministry of Justice with the pock-marked face, at that time, Duan Rong knew he was a spy within the Ministry, and his allegiance was clearly with Lv Zhongtang and Ge Rusong.

Thinking about it now, it was very likely this person who stole the Mo Saber from the warehouse and handed it to the waiter at Taihe Building, letting him carry the blade to investigate at night.

Leaving this blade would surely disrupt their focus and thoughts.

Duan Rong suddenly said in a deep voice, "Let's set aside the matter of the Mo Saber for now! Let's talk about Li Shensi." As he spoke, he looked at Zhu Cheng and asked, "Regarding the questions from yesterday, did Sir Zhu conduct a detailed investigation after returning?"

Zhu Cheng, upon hearing this, immediately took out a stack of documents from his sleeve, stepped forward, and respectfully presented them in front of Duan Rong on the table, saying, "The questions from yesterday have all been thoroughly checked and supplemented. After contemplating yesterday, I filled in a few overlooked issues, which I've attached at the back. Please have a look, my lord."

"Very good!" Duan Rong said appreciatively, glancing at Zhu Cheng. Often having a cautious and reliable assistant can make things much more efficient and save a lot of trouble.

He picked up the stack of documents and quickly scanned through them.

Duan Rong had already completed twelve layers of the Fetal Concealment Scripture, and his Spiritual Power had vastly improved, far beyond normal limits in memory and focus.

This was how he reviewed materials; he could immerse his Divine Soul into them, scanning and memorizing swiftly.

After reading, Duan Rong closed the supplemental documents. There still were several quite crucial points in there.

After closing the documents, Duan Rong looked up at Zhu Zhengfu and Zhu Cheng, and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, I wish to learn more about the Autumn Hunt Festival five days from now. You have both been at the center for long; surely you know about this event in detail. I would appreciate your teaching."

"Autumn Hunt Festival?!"

Zhu Zhengfu and Zhu Cheng were taken aback upon hearing Duan Rong suddenly bring up this topic, and they exchanged glances.
