"Have you considered another detail? Why did the culprit fire off a City Guard Department whistling arrow as he was leaving?"
"If he was an assassin from the Wind and Rain Tower, why would he bother with such an unnecessary act?"
Jiang Botao asked abruptly.
Mao Yong thought for a moment before replying, "I have considered that as well. The culprit likely fired the City Guard Department's whistling arrow to mislead us, to make me shift the investigation's focus toward the powers within Linji City."
Jiang Botao said, "Even if the perpetrator was truly an assassin from the Wind and Rain Tower, he could have been hired by the Four Great Clans of the Inner City. After all, the Wind and Rain Tower only cares about getting paid; they never ask why."
Mao Yong mused for a moment. "Lord Jiang, you would naturally not permit any member of the Jiang Family to do such a thing, and the Qin Family is equally unlikely. That leaves only the Wang and Shen Families."
