Chapter 1590: 1589 The body shape is wrong Chapter 1590: 1589 The body shape is wrong Zhuang Liu smiled, “You’re tricking him by exploiting his guilty conscience. If he is injured and has applied medicine, then he will want to know whether there’s a medicinal scent on his body, so he will definitely find an opportunity to come out and take a sniff. If he isn’t injured, then we can directly eliminate him as a suspect.”

“Yes,” Tan Rou said, “the facts have proved that he was indeed the suspect last night.”

“But it still doesn’t quite add up,” Zhuang Liu said, stroking his chin in thought, “Although the person in black last night was wearing a black robe and about the same height as Hamillen, their builds don’t match. Hamillen is on the plumper side, but the person last night had a more balanced figure, and with his speed, I don’t think he was a fat man.”

This was also what troubled Tan Rou; she nodded and said, “Indeed, the person last night was too thin, not like Hamillen. But the person last night did injure his wrist, and we had suspected something was off with Hamillen before. If it wasn’t him last night, then who could it be?”

“Let’s go back and keep an eye on him,” Zhuang Liu said, “Now that we have a target to follow, let’s try tracking him first. If it isn’t him, then we can eliminate a wrong answer.”

Tan Rou agreed with this approach. “Okay, let’s head back. But before we go, we need to buy something else to avoid arousing his suspicion.”

“Alright,” Zhuang Liu said, “I see some wooden carvings on sale over there, how about we buy one?”

By the time they had purchased the wooden carving and returned, Hamillen was already waiting there. At this moment, Tan Rou smelled another scent on him, it was a strong aroma of incense.

“What a lovely scent!” Tan Rou sniffed and then asked Hamillen, “Mr. Hamillen, do you recognize this fragrance? It smells wonderful, it fills the entire shop.”

Hamillen looked much more pleasant than before. He took out the freshly purchased incense from his pocket and said, “This is a specialty spice from our country, you might consider buying some if you like it.”

Tan Rou understood why this man had to go out, to buy things to cover up the smell on his body, “Oh, this incense is quite uniquely shaped, we should buy some later as well.”

Now that Hamillen realized the smell of the medicine wouldn’t be detected on him, he became more talkative. He asked, “Have you two been enjoying your time in our country these past few days?”

Tan Rou hurried to answer, “We’ve been having a good time, but we’re still not quite used to it, it’s really too noisy here at night.”

Hamillen looked puzzled, “People around here go to sleep at 8:30 pm, how can there be any noise?”

“There’s someone playing the flute at night.” Tan Rou said with some irritation, “I don’t know who lacks civic sense, playing the flute late into the night and keeping me from sleeping well.”

“You also heard the flute?” Hamillen’s brows furrowed, “Was the sound very loud?”

“Yes,” Tan Rou said, “it was noisy all night, how could I possibly sleep?”

Hamillen muttered, “There won’t be any noise again.”

Although Tan Rou heard it, she pretended as if she hadn’t, “Ah, what did you say?”

Hamillen smiled and said, “Oh, I mean I’ll make a suggestion to the local patrol responsible for public security. There shouldn’t be any noise after this.”

In her heart, Tan Rou thought, his flute is gone, how could there still be noise? But then again, could the Dawn Society only have that one flute?

“Oh, that’s good,” Tan Rou said with a smile.

It was their turn to buy cotton candy, and Hamillen then said, “Mr. Zhuang Liu, Miss Rou, could you possibly let me have your number placard? My daughter is waiting for me at home, and she wants some cotton candy, so…”
“Sure,” Tan Rou handed over her place in line, “You go buy it first.”

The cotton candy vendor had no objections; since the cotton candy hadn’t started to be made yet, it didn’t matter whose order was prepared first.

As Hamillen went ahead to buy cotton candy, Tan Rou quietly told Zhuang Liu, “You stay here in line, I’ll follow him. If he is truly buying something for his daughter, then he will definitely go home.”
