Initially, they believed there were two separate bases located within Jinzhou city, along with another base situated in Tianfu village. However, they soon realized that these three bases were interdependent, with none of them operating independently. Governor Lian held the responsibility of providing children to the brothel, where some of these children were kept for their purposes and the remaining children were then dispatched to the base in Tianfu village, where the creation of corpse puppets took place.
This interconnectedness explained why there were no children present in the governor's residence and no puppet corpses within the brothel base. Instead, the base in Tianfu village handled the production of puppet corpses. This arrangement was logical, since housing a large number of corpse puppets within the city posed considerable risks. However, the situation differed in Tianfu village, which lay outside the bustling city and thus offered a more suitable setting.
