"Zhou An, we have results!"
Zhou An's mouth twitched.
Results?
What results?
I'd only been gone for a few days, and they'd already gotten results here?
Seeing Zhou An's expression, Division Magistrate Zhang understood what he was thinking. "Ever since Master Ye came over last night to summon the soul, we started looking into professions capable of controlling people with sound. We actually found something."
Zhou An raised a hand. "Sorry, I really can't help interrupting. I think you should explain who Master Ye is."
Only then did Division Magistrate Zhang realize this, and he recounted everything that had happened the previous night.
Zhou An froze.
Master?
A girl?
He thought of the Gray-Clad Girl he had encountered over the past few days and instinctively asked, "Was she dressed in gray, plain-looking, and had a silly face?"
Once last night and once this morning—the Gray-Clad Girl had left quite an impression on him.
So when the subject came up, Zhou An immediately thought of her.
Division Magistrate Zhang looked puzzled. "What are you thinking? Though Master Ye wore a veil, she must be a peerless beauty. And her demeanor is incomparably aloof, like a snow-capped mountain."
Zhou An understood. The person being described was clearly cold and distant, completely unlike the one he had met.
"Ahem, we're getting off topic." Head Constable Xie coughed awkwardly, reminding Division Magistrate Zhang.
Only then did Division Magistrate Zhang come to his senses and steer the conversation back.
"We specifically searched for people skilled at controlling others through sound, and unexpectedly, we really did find a suspicious person. Take a look at this."
A sheet of paper was handed over.
Zhou An took it and studied it carefully for a moment, his brow furrowing slightly.
Written on the page was a woman's life story.
