"So what do you think is going on here?" Lu Qing asked.
"There are two possibilities. One is that the person responsible has a sense of mockery and disgust towards the victim, deliberately not wanting to give him a quick death, making him suffer more before dying.
The other possibility is that there isn't any truly ruthless individual in that Headdress and Shoes Workshop.
Although it is tiring, troublesome, and unreliable to kill a person by beating them repeatedly, solving it with a single stroke isn't something just anyone can do. It requires much more courage than a group beating someone to death."
Zhu Yu already had an idea about this issue. As soon as Lu Qing asked, she spoke up: "So I suspect that besides the shop assistants, the Headdress and Shoes Workshop must have some protectors or the like. Perhaps they are just a group of hooligans who are not particularly vicious but definitely not kind-hearted either, just to do some 'dirty work' for Gu Lingyun.
