The Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching. The crime took place in the Capital City, was committed by a Martial Artist, and to top it all off, the victim was a man from Prince Qi's Mansion.
For all these reasons, the Jing'an Guard's Hundred Households in Yong'an County took the case very seriously. The Hundred Households Commander, Gao Xi, personally came to the scene to investigate.
"Sir, there are no signs of the home being ransacked. We also found 1,200 taels of silver in a wardrobe. The female victim was not violated. We can confirm the killer's sole purpose was murder."
A Standard-Bearer leaned in close to Gao Xi and reported.
Gao Xi, a man in his early forties, instinctively stroked his beard and asked, "What was Wang Er's position at Prince Qi's Mansion?"
"Liu Qiaoniang's neighbors said he was just a servant who tended the flowers at Prince Qi's Mansion," the Standard-Bearer replied, having already looked into it.
Gao Xi frowned. "And Liu Qiaoniang?"
