Chapter 1020 -406: Detective Wang_3
He was still wondering if Wang Tao might ask him any questions later and how he should respond to please Wang Tao when Wang Tao didn’t say anything more and simply waved at them.
“You all keep busy, I’ll head over there first.”
“Eh, take care on your way!”
“Mr. Wang, have a good one!”
“…”
Watching Wang Tao’s retreating figure, Wen Dazhi clenched his fists with a mix of excitement and confusion.
“This power should be quite ordinary, I am self-aware… but Mr. Wang said I was good, could it be… I have some kind of potential? Then I must work even harder! Although, it would be best to get advice from Mr. Wang…”
…
After Wang Tao left, he shook his head with a smile.
He said Wen Dazhi was good precisely because he had hidden attributes. Wang Tao didn’t mind giving some encouragement to people with hidden attributes – they needed to strive hard and not waste their hidden attributes!
Anyway, for Wang Tao, it was just a matter of moving his lips.
After wandering around for a while, Wang Tao eventually returned to where Gu Yun was.
“It feels like things here are getting a bit chaotic…”
Wang Tao stated bluntly.
“Sigh, disaster relief work finally got on the right track, and we were about to have some ease, but with Mayor Yao’s incident, things are getting messy again… Without his command, the follow-up is going to be busy for a long time…”
Gu Yun sighed helplessly.
Yao Guodong’s capability as an ordinary man to become the mayor of Changhe Base was unquestionable. Gu Yun admitted he couldn’t compare. With Yao Guodong gone, the various arrangements for what came next needed to be rearranged, which was troublesome. More people might freeze to death because of this… This domino effect was unavoidable since the death was of the highest administrative official in the base.
“Hang in there, if you need anything, call on me anytime.”
Wang Tao patted Gu Yun on the shoulder.
“I will, and these next few days we might need to trouble Mr. Wang…”
Gu Yun gave a bitter smile.
“Haha, don’t worry about it. I’ll head back first.”
The snow outside was still heavy, and it took some time before Wang Tao finally made it home.
As soon as he entered, Han Rui quickly clung to Wang Tao’s arm.
“Wang Tao~ what did you find?”
She had been holding back all the way and hadn’t asked; she knew that Wang Tao must have discovered something.
“What I found… Yao Guodong was definitely murdered,”
Wang Tao said with a serious expression.
“Why do you say that?”
Han Rui was a little excited – Wang Tao had indeed found a clue!
“Because near those pine trees you thought were problematic, I saw footprints from the same time last night as Yao Guodong.”
Although Wang Tao had seen that Yao Guodong’s two wives were poisoned, he couldn’t be 100% sure that Yao Guodong’s death was a murder. What if his two wives had secretly indulged in something behind Yao Guodong’s back? That was possible.
But when Wang Tao detected faint footprints under the snow near those pine trees with his spiritual power, he knew Yao Guodong’s death wasn’t an accident – someone had been watching him the entire time he lay in the snow!
That person didn’t notify anyone, leading to Yao Guodong being frozen to death. This person was clearly related to the murderer, or perhaps they were the murderer themselves.
And if he assumed that person was the murderer, then another of Wang Tao’s doubts was cleared – why did Yao Guodong keep staggering around in the snow after peeing and not return home? It wasn’t because he was drunk. As an Ability User, he wasn’t so easily intoxicated, and he knew what was important, he wouldn’t be drinking at such a time. Instead, he was influenced by the murderer, so he couldn’t make it home.
As for what ability could affect Yao Guodong and make him lose his way, unable to find home…
Wang Tao was all too familiar with that – mental attacks!
The distance between those pine trees and Yao Guodong was just right for many mental attacks to take effect!
Therefore, Wang Tao had reason to speculate that Yao Guodong was affected by some kind of mental attack, making Yao Guodong’s perception faulty and leading him to mistake the snowy ground for his bed, so he collapsed and couldn’t get up again.
If these speculations held true, then Wang Tao thought the murderer wasn’t very strong. Because someone powerful in mental attacks, like himself, could have killed Yao Guodong instantly, without such trouble…
As for who it was specifically, Wang Tao did not know, but at least there was a range to check.
And there was a straightforward method for speculation.
“With Yao Guodong dead, who benefits the most?”
Combining the two might yield some clues.
However, while Han Rui and others speculated on the most likely murderer based on what Wang Tao provided, Wang Tao suddenly thought of an important question –
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
If even the highest administrative officer, no matter how weak, could be so easily schemed against… could people with strong abilities but weak powers still be placed in important positions in the future?
Perhaps to put it more bluntly, did ordinary people and Ability Users with minimal strength still qualify for key positions?
Considering the current situation… those below the strength of a Fourth-order Awakener, could be said to be weak!
“The impact of this incident may be much greater than I imagined! It might even lead to some reforms…”
