“Sigh…”

Wang Tao let out a sigh. There wasn’t a look of sadness on his face, nor did he need to feign sorrow—after all, he wasn’t particularly close with Yao Guodong… It’s just that Wang Tao felt a bit regretful, as he had just gotten Yao Guodong to owe him a big favor, which now was completely wasted.

“It’s already noon, please everyone, move to the City Hall for lunch…”

Gu Yun said to everyone.

Everyone nodded, and after Yao Guodong’s body was taken away first, other people also left the villa one after another. This included Yao Guodong’s two wives and others who were about to depart. The villa was to be sealed off as a crime scene needed to be preserved. Those close to Yao Guodong who had been in contact with him also had to continue being investigated. After all, this was the death of a mayor; regardless of whether anything could be found out, they certainly had to try their best.

As Wang Tao and his party were coming out, Han Rui suddenly looked towards a certain spot.

“What’s wrong?”

Wang Tao, who was discreetly observing everyone with his spiritual power, noticed Han Rui’s movement immediately.

“I always feel that there’s something off over there… but I can’t quite put my finger on what exactly it is… Maybe it’s just my imagination. You know my job; whenever I encounter such situations, I always think about solving the case…”

Han Rui shook her head softly.

Following the direction of Han Rui’s gaze, Wang Tao looked toward a few sparse pine trees about thirty meters away from the villa’s entrance, covered in snow. These pine trees were short and thin, as if they were stunted in growth.

Neither He Jijun, Xiang Hongbin, nor anyone else seemed to notice anything amiss, including Wang Tao. But Wang Tao took Han Rui’s words seriously because Han Rui had a unique hidden attribute—

[Arrest: More likely to catch criminals]

“Let’s go check it out.”

Wang Tao immediately said.

“…”

Han Rui opened her mouth but didn’t say much more, only feeling a touch of warmth in her heart from seeing how seriously Wang Tao took her words.

However, once Wang Tao and the others arrived at the courtyard where Yao Guodong died, Wang Tao suddenly paused in his step.

“That’s enough, no need to go there.”

A slight smile curled the corners of Wang Tao’s mouth.

Han Rui and the others didn’t understand, but based on their impression of Wang Tao, he clearly wasn’t one to give up halfway, so—Wang Tao must have discovered something! However, they didn’t ask further and all followed Gu Yun to the dining hall of the City Hall.

Although it might not look appropriate to eat and drink right after the mayor’s death, after all, it was Gu Yun who had called them here, and they hadn’t even had their meal yet, so they deserved at least to be provided with one meal.

After having the meal, Wang Tao walked around within the City Hall, making his presence known.

Of course, he wasn’t just wandering around aimlessly; he was getting acquainted with the administrative officials. Especially those who had either good or bad relationships with Yao Guodong—they were the key observation targets.

“Mr. Wang!”

Wang Tao suddenly heard someone calling him and turned to see it was Cui Sheng.

Cui Sheng was accompanied by a group of men and women dotted around him, dressed similar to Cui Sheng, probably all secretaries from the City Hall.

“It’s Secretary Cui!”

Wang Tao responded.

Those people were surprised and envious when they saw Wang Tao’s friendly demeanor toward Cui Sheng. Clearly, they recognized Wang Tao.

Cui Sheng hurriedly introduced Wang Tao to them.

“This is Mr. Wang from the Starfire Society, an Awakener…”

“Mr. Wang, these are my colleagues…”

As for introducing his colleagues, Cui Sheng just skimmed over it.

However, the group was obviously interested in Wang Tao, and directly ignoring the look Cui Sheng gave them, they began to introduce themselves.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Wang. I have long heard about you! My name is Wen Dazhi…”

“I am Tang Chunyi…”

“My name is Guan De…”

“…”

This was a rare opportunity to get to know an important figure, and if they didn’t thicken their skin now, they would just have to regret it later!

Wang Tao nodded and smiled, appearing very approachable.

He could see that this group was implicitly led by Cui Sheng; half of them were ordinary people, and only a few were level 1 ability users. Cui Sheng, being a Second-order Superpower Owner, was already considered the strongest among them.

Two of the group caught Wang Tao’s eye in particular.

It was the first to speak, Wen Dazhi, and the second, Tang Chunyi.

Wen Dazhi looked relatively handsome, much more so than the balding middle-aged Cui Sheng—of course, looks weren’t the point. What mattered was that not only was he a Level 1 ability user, he also had a hidden attribute—this man was the seed of an Awakener!

As for the other, Tang Chunyi, even Wang Tao, who was used to seeing beautiful women, found her very attractive, especially those peach blossom eyes that seemed to wink intentionally at Wang Tao, very enticing. As for her abilities, she was just an ordinary Level 1 ability user without hidden attributes, which Wang Tao promptly overlooked.

Wang Tao didn’t hide his gaze, and everyone could see him lingering a second longer on the two of them. When they noticed that it was the most handsome man and the most beautiful woman in their group that caught his attention, they all sighed internally.

Indeed, humans are visual creatures. When meeting strangers for the first time, regardless of gender, being attractive definitely scores points.

However, to their surprise, Wang Tao didn’t gaze at Tang Chunyi, the stunning beauty, any longer. Instead, he patted Wen Dazhi on the shoulder.

“Good strength.”

Although Wen Dazhi indeed was the second strongest in their group, next to Cui Sheng, he was only of Level 1 strength. Did that really warrant praise as “good strength” from an Awakener like Wang Tao? Everyone was a bit puzzled.

Wen Dazhi, meanwhile, was somewhat thrilled—did this notable figure see potential in him—”seeing potential” meaning being recognized by Wang Tao like Cui Sheng was.
