The Millelith arrived at the scene. Astonished that not many pieces had been broken or moved. It seems like the killer was experienced. The office was quite dry except for the pool of water and blood surrounding the body. The papers on the desk were also soaked. The writing on the paper is no longer illegible. The corpse was now pale and their once wet hair is now dry but it wasn't in the elegant it once was. It was ruffled and the strands were grouped into thicker ones as only a few had placed themselves on the corpse's face.

"This is horrible..." one had commented when they took a look at the current scene. Even though the method was simple, the victim didn't probably suffer a quick and painless death. The Millelith now discussed on what to do and whatnot. Considering there weren't much investigators in Liyue, they have to either recruit someone from outside of Liyue or just depend on the Qixing. Even then, they're probably too busy on other stuff to focus on this. Or they could recruit a certain traveller. Who knows? He might have a clue on what to do or who might have done this. But even then, the traveller is not currently in Liyue. If there is a possibility of them being in Mondstadt, a formal letter may take too long for it to arrive in Mondstadt and the traveller might not even be there anymore.

They could only sigh and just hope that they are able to figure out something to solve this murder.

Along the way, a certain mop of (HC) hair was walking down the street. A basket full of vegetables he had just purchased along with another basket full of fish. A very noticeable blue jewel that was hanging off of the belt chain on his hips. His dark clothes made him stand out in the city where people are wearing mostly brightly-coloured clothing. Additionally, it only made the white dragon embroidery on his clothes stand out more.

His (ST) legs were shown to the world as his shorts only stopped where most shorts are. His top was a staple top here in Liyue, the only difference that it didn't have any kind sleeves. And the small cape that he wore only covered his right shoulder. Overall, his clothing mostly consisted of black with white embroidery with a few golden linings here and there. His fingerless gloves also had embroidery except it was more subtle than on the clothes he wore.

Humming a song, he skipped along the way to his home. It wasn't far but it wasn't popular either. Especially in the day. The place where he liked to call his home was more popular during the night. Even then, not many know about this place. Possibly because of the business being conducted here or they just think it's shameful that they have this kind of place. But in regard to business, isn't this technically business also? His (self-proclaimed) sisters and brothers are giving service and their customers pay them and they don't pay in such small sums either. It's enough for a large family to last for a year when they try to recruit someone of higher rank.

It's quite disrespectful of them to shame his brothers and sisters when they just try to earn money, is what (YN) thinks whenever he hears someone pitying him if they knew where he lives at. But even then, there are some sensible people there and wouldn't mind. So (YN) likes those kinds of people since they wouldn't judge him because of his origins and so on.

Since the Red Light District was a bit far from Liyue, (YN) has to walk for a couple of minutes before arriving at the entrance of said district. Since (YN) has been doing errands since he was young, it wouldn't take long especially since he has a Vision. (YN) doesn't know why but he received a Vision when he woke up after beating up that one person for saying that one of his brothers is disgusting. Whether it's because the gods had admired him for not betraying his family even with their reputation or just how brave he is and proud of his family. But he didn't care that much, really. With his Vision, he could work as a guard along with the others. To protect his sisters and brothers from drunk customers and customers who are too pushy or not that well-off.

Soon arriving at the entrance of the Red Light District, (YN) was immediately greeted by a few guards. "Yo! (YN)! Back from errands?" Gou Lan, a man whose body was bigger and was probably the most masculine that (YN) has ever seen, asked so tenderly. Quite similar to how (YN)'s brothers and sisters would talk to him. "Yea! Think of making something Squirrel Fish tonight!" Gou Lan can't help but salivate when he heard the name of the dish. With how delicious (YN)'s cooking is, it wouldn't be an exaggeration that he could battle Xiangling when it comes to cooking. "Mind if I take a serving for later?" (YN) chuckled, already knowing that the man would ask for that. He nodded, "Sure thing! Just stop by before the opening!" With that, (YN) dashed to the brothel that he worked for and lived.

Two guards in front of the entrance and the door was wide open. Possibly for the customers who had slept in to leave. Which there were a few of them stumbling out. Possibly because of their legs were weakened from the last night's events or they're suffering from a hangover. It was always neither of the two or both probably if their customer likes to drink and was not that dominant.

Entering through the back entrance, (YN) was met with his a few of sisters' and brothers' presences. Their hairs ruffled and their clothes weren't that properly put on. Possibly because of last night and (YN) didn't react that much considering he's been living in the brothel since he was a child.
