Demoness, where are you Fleeing to?

Li Xuan stood waiting in place, but the surrounding noise continued for a good three breaths without settling down.

Even the Slayer of Demons couldn’t stand to watch anymore, he directly placed his cane on the ground, "Silence!"

In consequence, both inside and outside the main gate of the Demon Tower, silence fell once more.

"My initial thoughts were similar to that of Jianchashi Shi, believing that the insider who caused the Demon Tower explosion and allowed Shenhui and others to escape, need to simultaneously meet several conditions. First, and also the most important condition, they must have had the opportunity to enter both the fifty-seventh floor and the three underground levels of the Demon Tower within seven days. After learning that the traitor had used Xuan paper to create talismans, I shortened this time to three days.

Secondly, they have had access to the Demon Tower’s blueprints and are familiar with the underground structure of the Demon Tower. They were able to bypass the impregnable water gate, accurately puncturing the isolation layer between the water prison, the sewer, and the water channel;

Lastly, the traitor needed the opportunity to acquire Xuan paper, sulfur and charcoal. As everyone knows, the security checks for entry and exit of the Demon Tower are extremely strict. Neither gunpowder nor talismans could be brought into the Demon Tower. But since saltpeter can be found near the restroom and in the sewer, one only needs sulfur and charcoal to make gunpowder inside the Demon Tower; talismans can be made with Xuan paper and human blood."

Li Xuan looked around at the people present:"Then there’s a fourth requirement, to coordinate with Aunt Lin’s meal delivery time, and plant the explosives at two locations. In this way, only the four colonels who were on duty that day in the Six Paths Bureau meet these conditions."

"If I followed this line of thought, I would set my sights on Xiaowei Zhen as well. But an unexpected incident made me change my mind. I realized, apart from those imprisoned by Jianchashi Shi, there are others who can meet the most important condition, that is, have entered both the fifty-seventh floor and the three underground levels of the Demon Tower within three days."

Li Xuan’s gaze focused on a man in the crowd whose complexion was gradually growing pale.

"After that, I had people focus on investigating three matters: the connection between the Six Paths Bureau’s Xiaowei and the lowly civilians, and those who have any connections with the Demon Tower’s blueprint, particularly the Mo craftsmen who repaired the Demon Tower’s drainage system more than twenty years ago; thirdly, the source of the sulfur. Apart from this, I also conducted an autopsy on Aunt Lin. When all these clues came together, I had a clear idea of the identity of the traitor."

This time, he took a deep breath, clenching his fists tightly: "Xiaowei Sima, could you lend me your identity token?"
