"You should have some understanding of his physique and voice."

"So, I hope you can follow my group of subordinates later and see along the way if anyone matches your memory from that time."

"I hope you won't disappoint me again on this matter."

After hearing that lecture from Wu Mian, the young man originally stopped in his tracks.

Hope was rekindled in his eyes.

Upon hearing Wu Mian's specific arrangements, he quickly sat up.

He knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Wu Mian several times, and hurriedly said.

"My lord, I still remember his general physique."

"It's just that his voice and the attire he wore outside aren't of much use."

"However, I will definitely do my utmost to help you, my lord, to find his tracks."

As he spoke, he continued to kowtow to Wu Mian.

At the same time, his tone was filled with surprise and the emotion of having survived a disaster.

"Hmm, alright. Since that's the case, you may leave now. Someone will take you."

"I hope you won't disappoint me."

After saying this, Wu Mian was the first to walk away toward the other side.

"Thank you, my lord. Thank you, my lord."

Behind him, the sound of the young man's continuous kowtowing and thanks could still be heard.

However, at this moment, Wu Mian paid no further attention to it; instead, he began his next move.

"Reporting to you, my lord, we discovered a suspicious individual during our search."

"And we collected a piece of very critical intelligence from him."

"Someone used him to put something into the well water."

After leaving the place where he had secretly interrogated the young man, Wu Mian appeared in another part of the small town.

At the same time, he was constantly receiving intelligence collected by his subordinates.

He had actively chosen to stay here this time because of some discoveries he had made earlier, even going so far as to sacrifice quite a few of his subordinates.

He was specifically operating here in order to find some results as quickly as possible.

Hard work pays off, and finally, there were some discoveries here as well.

News similar to this was quickly passed up.

"They have already put something into the well water?"

Upon hearing this situation, which was so familiar to him, Wu Mian immediately frowned.

At the same time, he began to pace back and forth, looking as if he were deep in thought.

Soon, he stopped and looked seriously at the subordinate in front of him, saying.

"If I remember correctly, I had already issued an order when I made arrangements for you all."

"I told you to guard that well and not allow anyone to approach it."

"Even if someone wanted to do something, they had to obtain special permission."

"Otherwise, anyone who approached that well would be arrested."

As he spoke, Wu Mian recalled some of his previous requirements.

At the same time, his tone gradually became colder.

"Yet now you are telling me that someone has successfully put something into the water."

"So, what exactly have you all been doing?"

When he reached this point, an invisible aura suddenly erupted from Wu Mian's body.

In an instant, the subordinate who had been reporting to him quickly lowered his head, and even knelt down.

Suddenly, a gust of wind seemed to blow through this area.

Everyone felt a chill surge into their hearts.

"My lord, we were indeed following your orders and making arrangements."

"After you made your request, we didn't let anyone approach that well at all."

"But…"

Hearing his subordinate's stammering, Wu Mian frowned even more unhappily.

"But what?"

"Could it be that they put the stuff in while I was there?"

"Heh."

As he spoke, Wu Mian couldn't help but sneer twice.

But to his surprise, the subordinate bit the bullet and said at this moment.

"It is true, Wu Mian, my lord. According to our strict interrogation, he did indeed poison it at that time."

Upon hearing the subordinate's words, Wu Mian was stunned for a moment.

But he still fell into silence.

"Are you certain? Who exactly is he?"

After a brief silence, Wu Mian quickly regained his calm and reason.

He asked in a deep voice.

"We have investigated carefully."

"The place where that person lived is exactly in the vicinity of the guy you interrogated earlier, my lord."

"So we think it should also be the work of the Blood Blade Sect."

"At the same time, after comparing it with the information passed on by that young man earlier, we found that his words have a very high degree of credibility."

501. Mutual Verification, Hidden from Sight! (Please subscribe!)

"Because a great deal of information can be mutually verified."

When he reached this point, the officer paused, then continued to speak.

"Of course, we cannot rule out that they are covering for each other, but considering their actual background, this possibility is very low."

After speaking, the officer couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

When facing Wu Mian's inquiry just now, he even had a feeling of suffocation.

But then, thinking of the situation he had obtained from the interrogation, he bit the bullet and continued.

Meanwhile, on the other side, after hearing this news, Wu Mian fell into silence once again.

Only this time, his expression appeared exceptionally calm, completely devoid of the furrowed-brow look he had before.

"That young man said he was also acting under orders."

"But I had already taken him down at that time. If it really was someone who appeared at the same time, wouldn't that be too coincidental?"

"And they just happened to live in this vicinity. Could it be that the guy the Blood Blade Sect sent this time specifically made two sets of preparations?"

"And it just happened to be these two coincidental places?"

"And they even happened to run into each other?"

The more he thought about it, the more Wu Mian felt that the gravity of the situation might exceed his imagination.

"If they made such arrangements just because of this one well, then their plan this time must be extremely rigorous."

"It's even impossible for there to be the slightest mistake."

"Otherwise, it is simply unreasonable that this single water well would have such detailed records and so many coincidental arrangements."

Thinking of this, Wu Mian immediately felt a sense of tension surge from the bottom of his heart.

Because judging from the situation investigated so far, although he had stopped one of them and taken him away for interrogation.

And quickly obtained some intelligence, the other person had completed the poisoning of the well at the same time.

He didn't even know what effect the things he had put in would bring.

But there was no doubt that it definitely wasn't anything good; after all, the Blood Blade Sect was currently making waves everywhere in the open.

And they had actually come up with such a move in the dark; there was no need to doubt their purpose—it was definitely a conspiracy.

But he couldn't figure it out for the time being, so he immediately became a bit anxious.

Especially when he had obtained some clues, yet was only close to the truth. ===== CHAPTER 799 =====
