Lin Rui entered the inner courtyard where the County Magistrate resided and saw that the door to the study on the left was wide open.
He had just approached the doorway when he heard the young County Magistrate's voice come out, "Is that Deputy Arrest Officer Lin? Come in."
Lin Rui stepped into the room and saw the young County Magistrate seated behind a desk, his back to the window on the eastern side, looking at a document in his hands.
Possibly due to consecutive nights without sleep, the dark circles under the County Magistrate's eyes were noticeable.
Lin Rui also noticed a screen placed in the northeast corner of the study.
A hint of suspicion flashed in Lin Rui's eyes; he had accompanied Zhang Tianchang to the County Magistrate's study once before to retrieve a set of divine armors treasured by the Magistrate. Lin Rui remembered that there had been no screen in the study at that time.
