He'd caught the black-faced cultivator and Huang Teng. Next, he had to interrogate them and get them to sign and fingerprint a confession.

Having been a constable, Zhao Lin knew the system inside and out. He understood he had to make the case ironclad.
He had initially planned to have them write their confessions on paper, but while inspecting the black-faced cultivator's storage pouch, he discovered two Communication Talismans.
In addition to the runes, the talismans were inscribed with the word "Shangyuan."
"These two Communication Talismans can reach Shangyuan County, right?"
The black-faced cultivator glanced over and replied, "Yes. The vessel station communicates with Shangyuan County, so we use Communication Talismans to exchange information."
