...
More than half an hour later, outside the Wan County governmental office.
Since it was already nightfall, the constables were all holding high their torches, illuminating the street outside the governmental office as bright as day.
The common people had gathered layer upon layer, some even climbed to the second floor of others' homes, looking down from the corridors while cursing Forensic Doctor Zeng.
As for Forensic Doctor Zeng, despite the bloodshot eyes, his complexion was eerily calm, and he kneeled there without saying a word.
"Could this really have been done by Forensic Doctor Zeng? It's just too dreadful to imagine. On normal days, Forensic Doctor Zeng doesn't seem like someone so ruthless and vicious to have committed such a heinous crime, right?"
"Who can say? It's true that 'Appearances are deceiving.' Thankfully, our magistrate is wise and has captured this evildoer. Otherwise, who knows how many more would die in our county!"
