Now...
all we can do is wait for the others to arrive.
...
After a while.
The other officials from the Qintian Division finally arrived, albeit late. The reason they knew something had happened here was that someone had escaped from the guesthouse to report to the authorities, who had then reported non-stop to the Qintian Division.
As soon as the Qintian Division's people arrived at the scene, they immediately sealed off the guesthouse completely, with some guarding the back door and others the windows. Some even leaped onto the roof to prevent anyone from escaping from above.
Then.
A Chief Flag Officer from the Qintian Division, leading several Little Banner Officers, burst into the guesthouse. They were among the strongest members from the Qiping County Qintian Division sub-division.
As the Chief Flag Officer stepped inside the guesthouse, he smelled a faint scent of blood.
And he also saw the utter disarray inside the guesthouse.
