When Su Nan chased after her out the gate, she couldn't find her sister anywhere.

He asked the gatekeeper, who pointed to the street on the right.

The streets were no longer bustling; only a few vendors carrying baskets were walking back.

Su Nan gritted his teeth, plunged into the night, and quickly ran towards the street on the right.

When Lin Miaoshou and Su Jin returned to the mansion, only the gatekeeper and servants remained.

In the hall, Su Jin saw the map on the table and the charcoal pencils that her older sister never carelessly discarded.

He was overjoyed. "Uncle Lin, my sister must have noticed something. Look at this map, there are several new place names added to it."

Lin Miaoshou is a man who has weathered many storms; he has already instructed his disciples from Huanhua Street to go out and gather information.

He glanced at the table and said, "The three characters 'Lianwu Lake' were written by Yueya. You wait here in the manor, I'll go to Lianwu Lake to take a look."

In her haste, Jiang Shuyue wrote those three words in an exceptionally messy and conspicuous manner.

On the way to Jiang Mansion, Lin Miaoshou learned that the suspect was Song Yunzhi. She concluded that Sui Sui and Princess Chang Le were safe for the time being.

Song Yunzhi's purpose was not to kill, but to have other plans, Lin Miaoshou guessed.

...

Inside the yamen, a city defense map was laid out in front of Xiao Jingzhao.

A little while later, someone came in to report.

"Report! Your Majesty, all the restaurants and inns have been searched, and no one is suspicious."

"Report! Your Majesty, the streets and alleys have been searched, and no suspicious persons have been found."

"Report! Your Majesty, there are no suspicious persons in private residences, temples, or Ciyin Hall."

As the report was made, Xiao Jingzhao's face visibly darkened.

Xiang Song bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please don't worry. Gao Mu said that the young lady sent someone to investigate the medical clinic. Let's wait a little longer. The young master is skilled in developing poisons. Perhaps there will be good news coming back."

At that moment, a whooshing sound rang out.

"Bang!"

An arrow struck the gate of the Prefect of the Capital squarely.
