Bab 122: Chapter 118: On How to Steam or Braise a Badger

Compared to the detective's inexplicable death, the incident at Elder Huang's house seemed to cause even more concern and fear among the villagers, with everyone's eyes flickering and their demeanor hesitant to speak.

Xu Shuo knew they had skeletons in their closet and didn't bother to ask further.

After instructing several strong young men to wash away the bloodstains, Xu Shuo used the need to ponder the situation as an excuse to leave for the time being.

He needed to figure out the behavioral pattern of "Green-Faced Fangs" and why last night's mission wasn't considered complete. Did he need to beat the creature half to death before capturing it?

Besides, if there was something about Elder Huang relating to "Green-Faced Fangs," it would only be his wife, who disappeared not long ago.
