The others were a little confused after hearing Hei Bao's words and wanted a better explanation. Hei Bao too noticed their expression and knew what they were thinking.

"The blood splatter here is only concentrated around the shackles. Look around, there is none outside and neither is in any other rooms. It seems like the prisoners were treated rather well and were not unnecessarily harmed." Hei Bao explained.

The people looked around and indeed found Hei Bao's assumption to be correct. There was no blood in any other rooms either. Even in the cages, only ten out of the nearly hundred cages even had any blood in them. And it did not look like it had been cleaned either.

"There is another thing." Hei Bao spoke and pointed at the furniture and items in the hall.

"These seem like they have been moved around in a rush. Some of these things are randomly strewn about, and even the food was left unattended." Hei Bao stated.

"That means…" A member of Hei corps spoke.

"Yes, they were taken away in a rush. My guess is that the beast attack probably made them scared. From what we saw before and what brother Lin Mu showed us, they even cleaned the traces of the attack and removed the wreckage of the broken carriage. They were trying to hide their tracks because they realized they were discovered." Hei Bao explained.

"Hmm, but this should be good for us." Teng Xiaolian added.

"How so leader?" One of his subordinates asked.

"Teng Xiaolian is right. Since the culprits left in a hurry, they should have definitely left some clues behind. From what we know, there were at least fifty or more mercenaries captured here. It would be a herculean task to transport them all to a different location in a short period of time and also erase all their traces." Hei Bao answered while looking closer at the blood splatter.
