Lin Mu was a little surprised upon hearing that it was Han Lei that the people from the night vigil met, but did not show it upon his face.

"Patrolling? As if! We were right, he's most likey a part of the culprits." Lin Mu spoke inwardly.

"The circumstances do point towards it. But still, you need more information." Xukong replied.

'But if he already met the people of the Night Vigil, why didn't he take them then and there.' Lin Mu thought over for a moment.

"Who else was with you when you met the new Vice captain, last night?" Lin Mu inquired.

"Oh, it was just me, Yuan Tu and Fu Lao, the old man who was leading the Night vigil. The rest of the newly awakened people were out looking for other people." Lu Xiao answered.

'That makes sense. If it was just the three of them, then he should have become cautious since there were others still spread out.' Lin Mu thought.

"This Han Lei probably didn't want the news to be released in an uncontrolled manner. So he opted to instead release it by himself, in the morning." Xukong spoke.

"Han Lei was going towards the residential district, this means that he was probably heading to that old warehouse as well. But we still don't know what's their purpose behind the dead mercenaries." Lin Mu spoke in his mind.

Lu Xiao looked at Lin Mu, who was thinking and seemed to be lost in thought. He did not mind it for a minute, but then started to feel strange when Lin Mu just stood still for over a minute.

"Lin Mu? Are you fine?" Lu Xiao asked.

"Ah yes. I am." Lin Mu hurriedly answered.

"You need to stop doing that as often. Make sure that you have a normal expression when taking with me with other people around." Xukong chided.

"Yes, senior. I'll take care not to." Lin Mu replied in an embarrassed tone.

"I think we should head inside now." Lu Xiao suggested.

Lin Mu simply nodded in affirmation and walked ahead towards the guard barracks. They were then stopped at the entrance of the barracks by two guards.
