Chapter 1143: Chapter 538: Respect Immortal Stone_4

Inside the city, there were four businesses and two other places, one being a tea house and the other a brothel. Master Sun understood that these places were most likely set up by the Commanding Chieftain for gathering intelligence.

Outside the city, there were two farm estates, each with several hundred acres of fertile land.

Master Sun instructed Dean Rivercutter Zhan: "Send someone to lead the way for me, I’ll personally visit these places. You stay in the yamen and supervise the other group to interrogate those people again. Have them carefully recall every detail related to the Commanding Chieftain, no matter how trivial, and report everything!"

"This subordinate obeys."

Master Sun didn’t hold much hope for these businesses within the city, and the two outside the city seemed even less likely. What Master Sun was looking for was the wooden totem figurine belonging to the Commanding Chieftain!

This figurine could very likely be different from the others and directly contact the Divine Lord.

However, such a totem figurine would require daily worship and a fixed location to set up a shrine; otherwise, it would be considered disrespectful to the Divine Lord due to a lack of devotion.

It was unlikely that the Commanding Chieftain would carry it with him - and Master Sun had already ordered Dean Rivercutter Zhan to search the Commanding Chieftain’s belongings, and indeed, nothing similar was found in the Storage Brocade Pouch.

The farm estates outside the city were too far away, and it would be too conspicuous if the Commanding Chieftain went there every day.

Master Sun acted swiftly, searching both inside and outside the city throughout the night, but ultimately came up empty-handed. He returned to the yamen with a calm face and hands behind his back. Dean Rivercutter Zhan was nervously cautious, and Master Sun asked, "Are there any new findings from the interrogation?"

"Yes." Dean Rivercutter hurriedly presented the new testimonies. At this point, it was important not to say no, otherwise Master Sun’s anger would be fully unleashed on him.

Master Sun glanced through the trivial matters recorded in the testimonies, his patience wearing thin. He waved them aside and was about to let his anger erupt when he suddenly remembered something else and opened the second set of records, finding one entry.

Dean Rivercutter Zhan, old enough to be Master Sun’s great-grandfather, shrank his neck and trembled like a quail in the cold wind, not only because of the Sixth Realm Venerable’s identity, but also due to the fear of the superior aura emanating from Master Sun.

Truly, a single word could determine life and death, a moment’s thought could dictate the rise and fall!

When Master Sun casually tossed aside the second set of testimonies, Dean Rivercutter had already given up: it’s over! But unexpectedly, in the face of despair, there was a sudden turnaround, and Master Sun reopened the records.

Dean Rivercutter quietly patted his chest, thinking it was a close call. However, the crisis had not truly passed, and he kept an unwavering gaze on Master Sun’s face. Suddenly, Master Sun beckoned: "Come and see this entry."

The old man sprang up like a hare, agilely positioning himself like a wooden post beside Master Sun. Fortunately, he stopped in time, bowed and crouched below Master Sun, following his guidance to spot an entry in the records about a servant from the Miami Club, reminiscing about a past event.

In the Miami Club’s residence, there used to be a kitchen maid who made noodles that were much enjoyed by one of the Commanding Chieftain’s favored concubines. The kitchen maid’s family lived near Fence Market, a bit to the west of the city. Once, during the kitchen maid’s time off, she unintentionally saw her master at Fence Market - he had changed into plain clothes, and the sight struck her as odd. Upon returning, she told this to the favored concubine, who questioned the master, but he firmly denied it, claiming that he had been in the yamen all day and had not gone out.

Both the concubine and the kitchen maid didn’t make much of it, but about ten days later, the kitchen maid accidentally fell into the water and drowned while buying fish. The favored concubine also somehow angered the master in the second month, was sold off, and was said to be sent to the southern regions. Since then, no one has seen this concubine again.

Dean Rivercutter’s eyes lit up, and he immediately walked outside: "Fence Market, I understand, and I’ll personally take people to investigate."

Master Sun nodded slowly, knowing that such a matter required someone familiar with the area to investigate. It was already late at night, and the people of Fence Market were sound asleep, but their rest was disturbed by the commotion that ensued. Master Sun glanced at the time and gradually revealed an impatient expression. About a shichen (two hours) later, Dean Rivercutter hurried back: "Master, I found it!"

"Let’s go!" Master Sun leaped into the air, grabbed Dean Rivercutter, and in an instant, they were hovering above Fence Market.

Dean Rivercutter, like a little chick in Master Sun’s hand, knew full well that the master was venting his displeasure at the slow pace of the investigation. He pointed downward: "Master, it’s that courtyard right there."
