Chapter 239
A torrential downpour!
Sanhe Commandery docks!
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Constable Captain Yu led a squad through the rain, straw rain capes draped over their shoulders, hurrying toward the docks.
Sun Wen, helm leader of the Caobang’s Sanhe Commandery main helm, had already arrived at the scene with a group of Caobang elites.
One of his squad leaders and four team members lay sprawled lifeless in the cabin of a large merchant vessel. Dishes were overturned across the floor, the cabin in utter disarray.
Constable Captain Yu covered his nose and stepped into the cabin. His sharp eyes swept the surroundings. From his pouch, he took out a silver needle and tested the food and wine. When he saw the needle turn black, his expression grew grave.
“Take everything—including the bodies—back. Hand them to Old Lu and have him determine what poison was used.”
“Yes, sir!”
