Chapter 368 - Chapter 368 Chapter 364 Is Su Wanqing Related to the Goddess

Chapter 368: Chapter 364: Is Su Wanqing Related to the Goddess of Vengeance? Chapter 368: Chapter 364: Is Su Wanqing Related to the Goddess of Vengeance? “Check how he died!”

Looking at the body that lay face down in the sand, clearly having died not long before, Fang Xiaocao’s heart was full of doubts, her mind brimming with speculation, “Could it be that last night, nearby, there wasn’t just our two groups of people, but a third party lurking on top of this dune, watching the battle, and Su Wanqing just happened to run here?”

“Did these people then clash with Su Wanqing and Little Luban, resulting in one of them dying while Su Wanqing and Little Luban were both captured?”

Fang Xiaocao tried to rationalize the appearance of this male corpse as much as possible.

But in the end, she shook her head.

Too many coincidences!

Unreasonable!

Rather than reason this way, Fang Xiaocao preferred to believe another possibility, that this man knew Su Wanqing, and they had planned to meet here to pick up Su Wanqing.

If this assumption held, then Su Wanqing must definitely have others with her, and the disappearance of Little Luban would be easy to explain–it would mean Su Wanqing had abducted him.

“Princess Your Highness, this man was killed by Little Luban’s repeating crossbow. There are blood holes left by crossbow arrows in his chest and neck, the fatal wound being a crossbow arrow that pierced his heart. The time of death should be last night.”

Through the joint examination by Taotie and Drilling Mouse, the cause of the man’s death was quickly determined.

Although neither Taotie nor Drilling Mouse had studied forensic science, the two, who were experts in various methods of killing, found it relatively simple to examine a dead body for cause of death, so Fang Xiaocao had no reason to doubt the accuracy.

Fang Xiaocao nodded, “It seems that Little Luban truly encountered an accident. Search this man’s body for personal belongings, to see if there are any clues that might prove his identity.”

Taotie gestured an ‘OK’ sign with his hand.

Two minutes later!

Taotie came to Fang Xiaocao’s side, “Princess Your Highness, we’ve searched him. There are no documents on the body that could prove his identity. But I found a very interesting tattoo on the corpse’s left arm, an image of a woman with a rose in her left hand and a sword raised in her right.”

“At the scene in the back mountains, I once saw the same tattoo on Feng Yue’s arm, only Feng Yue’s was more refined. Therefore, I suspect this man was with the Goddess of Vengeance.”

Hearing Taotie’s words, Fang Xiaocao was taken aback.

“The Goddess of Vengeance?”

Fang Xiaocao asked back.

Taotie nodded, “Yes!”

“The tattoo’s design and location are exactly the same; it must be the symbol of the Goddess of Vengeance.”

Hearing this, Fang Xiaocao fell silent.

“What are the chances of it being a coincidence?”

Fang Xiaocao asked in a grave tone.

Taotie shook his head, “Slim to none!”

“I don’t know this man, but First-Class Experts like Feng Yue don’t care for tattoos, let alone choose this kind of tattoo design. If he has it, it is very likely the mark of the Goddess of Vengeance.”

Fang Xiaocao nodded, “Makes sense!”

“The Goddess of Vengeance, huh?”

Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself.

“Has Su Wanqing actually colluded with the Goddess of Vengeance?”

“Did she choose to join them just to target me, or was she with the Goddess of Vengeance all along?”

“Then Han Xue being rescued from the psychiatric hospital by the Goddess of Vengeance and joining them, could Su Wanqing have been involved in that as well?”

Fang Xiaocao’s mind was flooded with thoughts, and seemingly a lot of puzzles were suddenly explained.

Long before, Fang Xiaocao had been wondering how Han Xue, while in the psychiatric hospital, had gotten mixed up with the Goddess of Vengeance. The Goddess of Vengeance even rescued Han Xue from the hospital and teamed her up with Axi, accurately locating her own position to cause her trouble.

If all this was Su Wanqing’s doing, Fang Xiaocao wouldn’t find it strange at all.

Fang Xiaocao even thought that perhaps the assassins who had tried to kill her in the past, including Tom’s arrival, were all orchestrated by Su Wanqing.

“Hehe…”

“The more interesting it’s becoming!”

Fang Xiaocao said with a cold sneer.

“Su Wanqing, oh Su Wanqing, why has it come to this?”

Fang Xiaocao shook her head, her eyes showing a complex irony as she smiled at herself.

“Is there anything else you’ve found?”

Fang Xiaocao asked in a deep voice.

Hearing Fang Xiaocao’s question, Taotie turned to Drilling Mouse, gesturing for him to respond.

Drilling Mouse nodded and began, “No weapons were found nearby or on the body, they must have been taken away. There are scattered bloodstains around the corpse and a crossbow arrow hooked with bits of flesh and tissue. Judging from the distribution of the bloodstains, there must be no fewer than five injured people, with only this one dying on the spot. The rest of the wounded must have been carried away.”

“So I surmise their numbers would be around ten, and among them, no fewer than two are First-Class Experts, and Little Luban must have engaged with them and was overpowered and captured.”

Fang Xiaocao closed her eyes and pondered for a long time before she finally spoke, “Keep on the trail. I’ll say it once more, I want to see Little Luban alive, or his body if he’s dead. None of Su Wanqing and the Goddess of Vengeance’s people are to get out alive.”

Seeing Fang Xiaocao’s determined stance, both Taotie and Drilling Mouse chorused, “Yes!”

Without needing further instruction from Fang Xiaocao, Drilling Mouse began to look for more clues to determine in which direction the group had departed.

In fact, for Drilling Mouse, the task wasn’t difficult; he just needed to follow the bloodstains.

There was only a sand dune separating this place from the campsite. The Goddess of Vengeance’s people, after capturing Little Luban, certainly wouldn’t dare to linger, not even daring to treat their wounds here.

Blood would surely drip while they were running, and the sand mixed with blood would be easy to distinguish.

Soon, Drilling Mouse had determined the direction.

Fang Xiaocao and Taotie immediately mounted their camels and, led by Drilling Mouse, chased in the direction indicated by the bloodstains.

Two hours later!

The leading Drilling Mouse suddenly stopped and made a gesture for silence.

Fang Xiaocao and Taotie immediately reined in their camels to a halt.

Drilling Mouse dismounted the camel, pointed ahead, and tiptoed stealthily forward.

Fang Xiaocao and Taotie exchanged a glance and immediately followed. When the three reached the top of a sand dune a person’s height, a few vehicles and a row of neatly organized tents came into view.

Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao showed a surprised expression and looked at Taotie.

Taotie was also surprised, shaking his head.

“How can there be so many people?”

“Why don’t the Goddess of Vengeance’s people just surround us if they are so numerous?”

Fang Xiaocao was full of questions.

“Princess Your Highness, take a closer look, those vehicles and tents are strange.”

Drilling Mouse said in a low voice upon hearing Fang Xiaocao’s words.

“Strange?”

“What’s strange?”

Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself, took out a pair of binoculars from her bag, and looked down at the campsite.

As she watched, Fang Xiaocao was stunned.

“It really is strange!”

Fang Xiaocao exclaimed.

The cars in the campsite below, rust-streaked as they were, seemed to have been sitting there for many years, and the tents were even more damaged. Many had already collapsed…
