In the woods, three kitchen soldiers lay dead on the ground, each with a cut across their necks, clearly killed by a swift slash to the throat.
"Qi Kaiming" examined the wounds and realized they must have been attacked by someone they faced, who suddenly turned and struck them down.
This suggested the killer was someone they knew well, someone they trusted completely, leaving them utterly defenseless.
The trail ended there.
"Collect their bodies," he ordered.
"Yes."
"Qi Kaiming" returned to the camp and transformed back into Chu Qingzhi. "Jinghong, I must leave now."
Tang Jinghong approached and kissed her, his eyes soft with affection, "Be safe, and contact me if you need anything."
"Will do," Chu Qingzhi smiled at Tang Jinghong, "I'm leaving now, remember to eat on time."
"I will."
"Stay in touch." Chu Qingzhi hugged Tang Jinghong, then turned and left the camp.
