The palm-sized bloodstain spread on the stone brick, resembling a red flower.
The deceased was a Taoist from Dragon and Tiger Mountain, a member of the Zhang family.
It was already midnight at the time. According to the first person who discovered the body, they heard a "thud," as if something heavy had fallen. Hesitating for a moment, they decided to go outside for a look and found the person lying on the ground, lifeless. Subsequently, in a panic, they woke up the other Daoists.
The corpse lay quietly in front, with only one wound on the forehead.
"Junior Brother, did you really see the person fall dead by the door?"
"Yes, one foot was still inside the threshold..."
"Are you suggesting that he twisted his ankle leaving the door and accidentally fell to his death?"
"..." The Daoist who discovered the body remained silent for a while, then could only nod.
