Jin Mingzhu smiled slightly when she heard Xiong Zemo say that.
"You have leads but no evidence? It sounds like you already have some idea who the murderer is. I'm rather curious. You usually keep such a low profile. Who would have it in for you?"
Xiong Zemo's towering frame stood in stark contrast to the petite Jin Mingzhu before him. Both had unreadable looks in their eyes.
