Jin Xu pondered.
People used the oil lamp as a symbol of eternal love and fidelity, yet it had killed several who strayed, all the while playing with their lives.
This affair seemed reasonable.
The two constables nearby, upon hearing this, stiffened in their expressions.
Team Leader Li hurriedly spoke up to clarify.
"Young Taoist, you have misunderstood. This oil lamp does not only kill the impure. Before these three, there were several other victims, some of whom were decent and honorable. The places where they were harmed bore no 'words of accusation.' It's more like it kills at random. It just so happened that the circumstances of these three were a bit... a bit more chaotic."
Upon hearing Team Leader Li's words, the young Taoist was confused. "Then how do you know for sure that it was the oil lamp that killed them?"
"Because a ring of black marks was left at every crime scene."
The young constable blurted out.
