There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

The Special Envoy stiffened momentarily and bit the corner of her lip, "You want me to betray."

"You don't have to betray," said the Capital Commandant indifferently.

But no one had to say anything; everyone knew what he meant, not cooperating meant death.

Without being obstinate for long, after half-heartedly expressing her loyalty, the Special Envoy weakly propped herself up and went to the bedroom to open her suitcase.

Then from the inner pocket of a garment, she pulled out a small bamboo tube, handing it over with a reluctant face.

This was the signal device prepared to send messages to the Ninth District, nothing more than a tiny bamboo tube about five centimeters long. Although the spy who came to steal had knocked over her suitcase, they had not had time to search the pockets of the clothes.

Having given away the object, the Special Envoy deflated, hung her head, and said weakly, "There are scouts from the Ninth District outside of the city. As soon as this is launched, he will return to his troop and report the message."

Then, the large army would march towards the Thirteenth District!

With the marching speed of the Ninth District, a swift half-hour march would suffice to reach the outskirts of the city, by which time the Thirteenth District, which had just fought with the Green Mist army, would probably not have recovered yet.

The Ninth District has played their cards well!

The Capital Commandant sneered as he pocketed the signal device, then turned to Doctor Kong who had become mere background scenery, and picked up the pistol with an indifferent expression.

Xu Shuo was stunned then he sighed helplessly, "Capital Commandant, are you planning to silence him? Indeed, in this era, being a doctor is a high-risk profession."

"Then, remember to choose a different profession in your next life."

"However, actually, I have some information that might qualify as intelligence."

Watching the muzzle of the gun aiming again at his head, Xu Shuo suddenly said thoughtfully.

The Capital Commandant's eyes narrowed slightly.

Xu Shuo didn't wait for him to ask but pondered with a frown, "The Capital Commandant knows that I've been a doctor for ten years. I wouldn't claim to have mastered all the complex and various diseases, but I do have a bit of knowledge about some more obvious sicknesses."

"Don't waste time," the Capital Commandant said without expression.

"Alright, what I mean to say is..." Xu Shuo didn't hesitate to betray another: "Manager Zhang is a drug user, and I found another person at the hotel with narcotics on them. I suspect the two might be connected."

"Continue," the Capital Commandant remained calm.

"The other person is a hotel waiter who often stands by the kitchen door. A merchant engaged in international trade and a hotel waiter sharing the same characteristics cannot but make one suspect that they might be smuggling something."

"Then why didn't you say so earlier?!"

The Capital Commandant seemed to suddenly think of something, his gaze becoming sharply keen, his tone cold, and in an instant, the gun's muzzle still rested on Xu Shuo's forehead.

The Special Envoy silently watched the drama unfold with schadenfreude.

"Ah..." Xu Shuo looked very innocent, "I only discovered it when I was treating Manager Zhang. But then I didn't have time to find the opportunity to tell you before you left. Then there was a power outage, and now you grabbed me to treat her injury; it slipped my mind for the moment."

"..." The Capital Commandant kept his eyes fixed on him, his usually expressionless and icy demeanor suddenly seemed a bit tyrannical.

Other districts might not be clear about the actual situation at the border, but the Thirteenth District, which strictly guards the border, knew that Yamato Country had been making some moves recently, appearing frequently at the border under the pretext of trade, especially during the social season.

The reason the General's Mansion had ignored the events in the city was due to an unusual occurrence at the northern border!

At that moment, a whistling sound suddenly came from outside.

Through the broken window was the pitch-black sky, where a streak of light with a long white tail soared into the heavens, then exploded in the air, blooming into the most dazzling and spectacular fireworks!

Someone had launched the signal!
