Chapter 302 Tracking
Although the stall owner found Bai Mu's attitude very deserving of a beating, he was currently being restrained by law enforcement officers, so even though the stall owner wanted to punch Bai Mu in the face, he was powerless to do so because he was being controlled.
Do you know what's in these beverage machines?
Clarinde stared intently at the stall owner in front of her, her powerful aura making the other person dare not lie at all.
"I...I don't know."
The stall owner shook his head frantically.
At this point, he realized the problem: the "fake drinks" he was selling might not be as simple as just fake drinks.
If I were only selling fake drinks, I wouldn't have bothered Clarinde, that big shot.
Where did you buy these drinks?
Seeing that the stall owner was truly unaware of the Primordial Sea of Immortals water, Clarinde had no choice but to inquire about the source of the beverage.
Upon hearing Clorind's question, the stall owner, perhaps hoping to atone for his crime, quickly replied:
"I bought this at a farm, which is located in the suburbs..."
...
"Take him away and lock him up for now. I'll deal with him when I get back."
After obtaining the location of the beverage's origin, Clarind immediately ordered a squad of guards to take the stall owner away.
She immediately rallied her team and headed towards the location given to her by the stall owner.
Shiraki didn't want to go at first, but because Funina was worried about her safety and didn't dare to go, she insisted on dragging Shiraki along.
......
"According to the address given by the vendor, the beverages come from the village just ahead."
Looking at the somewhat dilapidated manor on the mountainside ahead, Clarinde told everyone to slow down.
The closer you get to Zhuangzi, the more a strange smell fills the air.
Smelling this strange smell, Shiraki frowned slightly.
Although he never killed a human, he did kill a wild boar while he was in Mondstadt.
The smell in the air was similar to the smell he had when he killed the wild boar.
This smells like blood.
At this point, Claurind also realized the problem.
She looked around, then found a spot and gently used her long face to push aside the bushes beside the road.
"what!"
Upon seeing the scene behind the bushes, Funina jumped up in fright.
If Bai Mu hadn't caught her from behind, she would have already fallen down the mountain.
Yes, there are dead people.
Funina pointed to the bushes ahead and let out a terrified scream.
Shiraki also discovered the body lying in the bushes.
It was a middle-aged man whose chest had been pierced by a sharp weapon. The murderer's method of killing seemed very skilled. Judging from his expression, the middle-aged man did not suffer any pain before he died.
“This is the guard hiding here, but he belongs to this estate and is our enemy.”
After examining the area, Clarinde gave a result.
Bai Mu also stepped forward to take a look.
After all, this was a dead person, the first dead person he had ever seen since birth, and Bai Mu was still very curious about what a dead person looked like.
After all, with his strength to back him up, Bai Mu wouldn't feel any fear towards the dead.
"Stop looking, let's keep going."
Just as Bai Mu was about to reach out and touch the corpse, the Great Tree King suddenly patted him on the back.
Bai Mu turned his head and saw that the main group was already planning to leave.
He quickly withdrew his hand and stood up as if nothing had happened.
"Bai Mu, that's a dead man! Aren't you afraid?"
Upon hearing Funina's question, Shiraki looked at her as if she were an idiot.
"A dead man is nothing. The weakest monster I've ever killed was stronger than he was in life. What do I have to be afraid of?"
"Ah, okay."
Funina didn't have much of an understanding of Shiraki's strength; she had always perceived him as an ordinary person.
No matter how vivid Funina's imagination is, in Funina's eyes, Shiraki is at most just an ordinary person who is a little stronger.
As a fellow ordinary person who was also somewhat stronger, Funina originally wanted to learn from Shiraki about his experience of not being afraid of dying.
But Shiraki's words touched on a blind spot in Funina's knowledge.
...
"Let's hurry, someone got here before us."
The closer you get to the village, the more corpses you'll find around it.
Moreover, there are many broken clockwork mechanisms around Zhuangzi.
These broken clockwork mechanisms and corpses all have one thing in common: they were all destroyed in a single blow.
Furthermore, judging from the modus operandi, the culprit who destroyed the clockwork mechanism and killed these people appears to be the same person.
The gate to the manor was ajar, and one of the guards next to Clorinde kicked it open.
"bump!"
The door was kicked open, revealing a floor littered with corpses and several people bound hand and foot, kneeling on the ground, as well as...
A woman with her back to the gate, carrying a red sickle on her back.
Hearing the noise from the doorway, the woman, who had her back to the door, suddenly turned around.
"Ok?"
"It's you?!"
The question in the first part came from Arecino, while the exclamation that followed was from Funina.
“Ms. Arecino, I think you should explain the current situation.”
Looking at Arecino in the center, who seemed to be interrogating a criminal, Claurind spoke expressionlessly.
Her eyes were fixed on Arecino, as if afraid that the person in front of her would suddenly attack.
After all, the reputation of the Fatui Enforcers isn't exactly good, and it's possible that they might suddenly attack and hurt someone.
Furthermore, Alegino's strength made Clorinde very unsure of herself, so she had to take precautions.
Upon hearing Clorind's question, Arecino's gaze swept over everyone present, as if she were weighing something.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat tense.
Just as Shiraki was pondering who would win if the two of them started fighting, Arecino suddenly chuckled.
The tense atmosphere in the room immediately eased.
"hehe."
"It's quite a coincidence that I discovered a criminal den by chance."
"I originally intended to sneak in here to investigate, and then hand over the results to your guards."
"But unfortunately my infiltration methods were too crude, so I was discovered as soon as I reached the mountainside."
"Leaving me with no other choice, I had to resort to some special measures."
At this point, Arecino paused for a moment.
Her gaze lingered on Bai Mu's face for a second, and seeing that Bai Mu was lost in thought and hadn't noticed her, she looked at Fu Ningna with relief.
“Ms. Fulina, now that you’ve come here, you must already be aware of their crimes, right?”
"Tell me, wouldn't what I did be considered doing a service to the people?"
Seeing Arecino's slightly threatening gaze, Funina nodded subconsciously.
"No, that's right."
