The Imperial Capital was quickly enveloped in night.
The shops along the street dared not light up to do business, and there were significantly fewer pedestrians.
Chen Ji was running wildly on the silent bluestone road, trying to catch a fleeting clue: Han Tong hadn't not met him, but had already seen him in a more subtle way.
After Zhu Xiao had taken him in circles, they had changed carriages in a bustling market.
During the transfer, Zhu Xiao took Chen Ji through a street-side shop and paused at the back door. It seemed like he was waiting for another carriage, but he took the opportunity to ask him how he killed Consort Xue.
At that time, there were also two Cao Guild men beside Chen Ji; this wasn't a question Zhu Xiao should ask, nor was it something the Cao Guild men could hear... Zhu Xiao was asking on Han Tong's behalf.
Han Tong was right next to him at that moment!
When Chen Ji figured this out, he also figured out Han Tong's hiding place... he was hiding in that shop.
