Camel was dead beyond any doubt; sending him to the hospital was merely a formality. As for those who pursued the assassin, they returned empty-handed.
The news of Camel's death spread through Yuen Long like wildfire, rippling outward until it was common knowledge. The assassination caused a massive stir throughout the underworld. Those present at the Shengxing Tea House suffered the most, subjected to rigorous interrogation. The owner of the tea house had the worst luck of all; even though he had nothing to do with it, being the site of the murder made his life miserable. Still, innocence was innocence, and even under the harsh interrogation of the Dong Sing members, they found nothing.
The identity of the assassin remained a mystery for the time being.
