This was a good thing.

At least, for Qin Feng, it was relatively a good thing.

As for Bibabu City? Sorry. What did that have to do with him?

It wasn't him who arranged these spies in Bibabu City.

Although the City Lord's actions were already very careful and very swift and decisive.

But there are no walls without cracks in the world.

The last time they arrested those two people, because the action was fast and the number of people was small.

And it was carried out in two different places at the same time.

And there were people impersonating them.

So the wind did not leak.

At least, the only people who knew were those who participated in the arrest mission, as well as Lin An and Qin Feng.

As for the others in the City Lord's Mansion, including the City Lord's wife, his other children, and the servants, guards, and stewards in the City Lord's Mansion, they didn't know.

But this time.

When arresting these dozen or so people.

Although the City Lord was already very careful and cautious.

But because the action was a bit bigger this time.

Although outsiders didn't know, some people in the City Lord's Mansion knew.

For example, several guard leaders, for example, the steward in the City Lord's Mansion, and Lin An's brother.

Although the information leaked somewhat, making the City Lord feel a bit unhappy.

But after all, the people who knew were all core figures in the City Lord's Mansion.

They were all trusted aides.

And the few servants and maids who accidentally found out had already been silenced.

So the City Lord was not too worried about whether the subsequent arrest operation would be known in advance by the Dark Walkers.

Regardless of whether the intelligence leaked or not, this was a matter for the City Lord to consider.

Naturally, it had nothing much to do with Qin Feng.

So Qin Feng didn't care about this point either.

He just lived as usual, cultivating when he should, eating when he should.

And he didn't do any extra things.

Occasionally, when Lin An came to invite him to stroll around Bibabu City, he did not refuse.

After all, one must combine work and rest.

It was just that this calm and regular life was broken by a look Qin Feng suddenly felt.

"What is the background of the steward of your City Lord's Mansion?"

Walking in the training ground of the City Lord's Mansion.

Qin Feng saw that there was no one around, so he asked Lin An.

"What is the steward's background? Do you think the steward has a problem?"

Lin An immediately noticed Qin Feng's meaning and answered very cautiously.

"Because the steward has served the successive City Lords of Bibabu City for generations."

"And whether it is the steward's wife or the steward's children, they are all people in the mansion."

"Although they are servants, they are quite respected, and their lives should be considered okay."

"And our family has treated the steward's family quite well. So we have never doubted that the steward has any problems."

"And we have also often met the steward before; you should not have seen the steward carrying this badge either, right?"

After all, if Qin Feng had seen that the steward had a badge, he would not have asked like this.

Instead, he would have directly said that the steward had a badge and asked them to arrest the steward immediately.

Although he felt that the steward's suspicion was almost non-existent.

But since Qin Feng brought it up, Lin An would not completely not suspect the steward.

Instead, she held a certain degree of suspicion toward it.

She believed that Qin Feng was not the kind of person who would shoot without a target.

Moreover, this was a matter of Bibabu City, which originally had nothing to do with Qin Feng.

Helping was a favor, not helping was a duty.

He had no need to specifically frame a person who had no intersection with him.

"I just used the Eye of Truth and did not see any badge on him."

"So I cannot determine whether he is a Dark Walker."

"After all, people carrying badges are not necessarily Dark Walkers; they could also be framed by others."

"And people who are not carrying badges could also have put the badges in other places."

"It's just that I have almost never met the steward, and we are strangers."

"Logically speaking, there should not be any intersection."

"But when he met me just now, the look in his eyes was full of killing intent. The kind of killing intent that wished to tear me into pieces."

"This made me feel very strange."

"During this period, the only intersection I had with people in Bibabu City was related to the Dark Walkers."

"The only one who could have a reason to hate me must be other Dark Walkers who have not yet been detected."

"After all, it is precisely because of me that their companions were arrested."

It was based on this consideration that Qin Feng became suspicious of the steward who had just shown killing intent toward him.

"If that's the case, the steward is indeed very suspicious."

After hearing Qin Feng's reason, even Lin An, who originally trusted the steward very much, could not help but feel deep suspicion toward him.

After all, if he were not a Dark Walker, the steward would have no reason to harbor any hatred toward Qin Feng.

"But the steward's status in the City Lord's Mansion is pivotal."

"Although he does not hold any official position, and his strength is not the top in this mansion."

"But he manages all the big and small affairs in the mansion and has managed the mansion very well from beginning to end."

"Everyone in the family trusts him very much, including my father."

"If we want to arrest the steward, we must produce strong evidence."

Although Lin An was willing to believe Qin Feng.

But after all, the steward's identity was special, and he was someone everyone trusted very much.

So wanting to arrest the steward still required producing favorable evidence to move the City Lord to arrest him directly.

Although it is said that it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go.

But because of the steward's identity and what he usually does, the City Lord might not necessarily arrest him directly and then search.

And if one goes to talk to the City Lord about this matter without strong evidence.

It is really not guaranteed whether the wind will leak and the steward will be on guard in advance.

"The identity badge seems to be a very important thing for every Dark Walker."

"The vast majority of them should be wearing it on their bodies."

"Even if a small number do not carry it with them, they will generally put it at home or in a place they consider very safe."

"You also said that the current steward, their family has been stewards in this City Lord's Mansion for generations."

"Usually, they rarely leave the City Lord's Mansion, so for them, the City Lord's Mansion is their home."

"So, for him, a safe place might be the City Lord's Mansion."

"So we can use the steward's room as a breakthrough point to check if there is this identity badge in his room."

Through a conversation with Lin An, Qin Feng also generally grasped the steward's daily situation.

He found that the steward rarely leaves the City Lord's Mansion, not even once or twice a year.

After all, general procurement is done by servants, and the steward is busy managing affairs in the mansion every day, so where would he have time to go out and mess around?

Therefore, Qin Feng inferred that if the steward is really a Dark Walker, then his identity badge must be hidden somewhere in this City Lord's Mansion.
