Fang Qianyuan knew nothing of forensic examination, nor did he have any patience for reasoning and deduction.
What Bei Yetang had told him, along with Tian Heng's suspicions, served as nothing more than reference points.
What he truly valued was, ultimately, this ability of his own.
Now that Fang Qianyuan's cultivation of the Time Dao was approaching mastery, his progress was far beyond what it had once been. Thus, his divine ability, Past Scene Retrospection, had improved considerably, even allowing him to recreate events from several months earlier.
This was also why he had come here to investigate in person.

These illusory images were like flowers in a mirror and the moon upon water. Fang Qianyuan clearly saw everything rapidly retreating: swaying branches, flying dust, even animals darting past...
