It's almost New Year, and there's no end in sight. Could it be that the Inspector is just toying with us?"
"We're just buzzing around like flies, with no leads at all. I think the Hong family must have taken their fortune and entered the Upper City. We'll never find them searching like this."
Another guest elder who often followed the Inspector to investigate everywhere was exhausted and wore a mournful face: "In over a month, we've turned Yanghua upside down, even discerning the gender of rat nests. Elder, this is too difficult."
