"Are there any witnesses nearby?" Xi Ligui continued to ask.
"No results yet, we're still investigating, but haven't found any witnesses," the Dwarf Deputy Deacon answered.
Xi Ligui squatted down, checking the body.
Just as the dwarf had described, the fatal wounds were on the chest and throat.
And the scar on the throat looked more like an attempt to decapitate.
The wound was much deeper than a typical throat-cutting.
He pried open the dead man's mouth and looked inside; the tongue was still there.
The emblem had been in the mouth all along and was undamaged, which made sense.
He got up, "Go find a mat and wrap up the body."
An adjacent member immediately took out the mat.
They rolled up the body.
Xi Ligui collected both the body and the emblem into the Space Ring.
These had to be preserved well to prevent the killer from acting hastily and just waiting in the crowd for a chance.
Destroying the body later would be troublesome.
