The crowded throng fell silent for a moment, as if recalling, then a man with brown hair raised his head to look at He Ao, hesitated, and began to speak, "We didn't see any 'suspicious persons,' sir, is there someone specific you're looking for?"
Surrounding people nodded in agreement, and a lackey chimed in, "We've been here during the day, and all the visitors had appointments, they are people we recognize, there's no one who didn't have an appointment..."
He paused there, swallowing his saliva, not daring to continue.
He Ao didn't pay attention to his words, his gaze sweeping across the increasingly large crowd outside the door, over the faces of some still deep in thought, as he continued to inquire, "No suspicious visitors during the day, what about at night?"
"Visitors are very rare at night,"
Someone in the crowd spoke out, "At night, there are fewer people on duty in the manor, and they clock out by twelve at the latest."
Kake was taken aback: "Huh?"
