Drawing a Snake With Horns and Turner arrived at the same place in different ways--
Xuanyang Square, Wannian County Government.
However, Drawing a Snake With Horns was taken there to be put in prison, and Turner was taken by his uncle for a visit to the county magistrate to find more clues about the case.
But things weren't that simple.
As a giant city home to a million soldiers and civilians, Chang'an, even with numerous security agencies, could only do its best to reduce crime and could not eliminate it completely.
As the head of Wannian County's law enforcement, it's unrealistic to remember all these cases.
Turner, in particular, wanted to find not some heinous crime, but a missing case.
Can these things even show up in a magistrate's day to day recollection? If it weren't for the unique circumstances and the place of the disappearance, the magistrate wouldn't bother asking about it.
