Although Kuyi Tulan suspected a connection between Wizard Reed and Mayor Babasha's death, he had no evidence and, therefore, couldn't apprehend Wizard Reed just yet.
He had hoped to gain some insight into the Black Crow's plans for Guru Mountain through this incident. However, Wizard Reed remained tight-lipped and gave no indication of his intentions.
"It was an accident," Wizard Reed repeated several times.
To others, this might have sounded like a lame excuse, but Kuyi Tulan heard a different intent.
On the surface, Reed seemed to be declaring his innocence in Mayor Babasha's death. However, a deeper meaning suggested that he hadn't intended for things to turn out this way—that this outcome was completely unexpected.
In a way, this substantiated the connection between Wizard Reed and Mayor Babasha's death.
However, only someone like Kuyi Tulan could discern such hidden implications.
