"Hey! Hui Dalang! Who exactly killed Granny Ping?"
"Hui Dalang! Has the dōshin in charge of this case not arrived yet?"
"Hui Dalang..."
...
Hui Dalang felt as if his head was going to explode from all the repeated shouts of "Hui Dalang."
At this moment, the crowd outside Granny Ping's house was growing larger, nearly reaching two hundred people.
This was putting more and more pressure on Hui Dalang, who was struggling to maintain order.
After all, with such a number of people, if something unexpected were to happen, like a stampede causing deaths or injuries, he, the patriarch responsible for managing Mukiura Town, would find it hard to escape blame.
He had already started trying to disperse the crowd.
But there were simply too few people. Including the book officer responsible for paperwork, each garrison staff only had about a dozen people at most.
