"I feel like I've got a little bit of a clue!"
Hearing Wei Shuxuan's words, Xin Zizhao was just about to ask her when he was interrupted by Wei Shuxuan again. "Although it's just a glimmer of inspiration for now, it's already enough. We just need to use that glimmer to find a new breakthrough."
This person really likes doing such things!
Because Xin Zizhao found that when investigating the case, Wei Shuxuan's eyes seemed to be shining, making it hard to look away.
After learning a bit of information about Pan Anping and Pan Leping from the managers of the Pan family's silk shop and tea shop, Wei Shuxuan grasped this point and carefully observed Pan Leping.
Since Pan Anping wrote in his will that he would leave all his assets to Pan Leping, Pan Leping had been very active in managing all of Pan Anping's industries.
Pan Anping, the head of the Pan family, had just died. Although he had passed the position of the head to Pan Leping, the mansion was in turmoil because of the loss of its leader. No one knew if someone would take advantage of the chaos to do something rebellious.
In a noble family, who could really tell?
Wei Shuxuan began to pay special attention to the actions of Pan Leping and his wife, Han Xinran and her son, as well as the steward of the Pan mansion.
"Master Wei," Wei Shuxuan heard someone call her. She turned around and saw the steward of the Pan mansion smiling at her.
"Steward Wang," she politely nodded at Steward Wang. "Do you need something?"
"No, nothing. I just wanted to ask how the investigation into our master's case is going."
As Steward Wang was speaking, Wei Shuxuan had already noticed a slight abnormality on his face. She scratched the back of her head and said apologetically, "This... I'm really sorry. I haven't found any clues about Master Pan's death yet..."
Wei Shuxuan deliberately stopped. She looked at Steward Wang again. The expression on Steward Wang's face seemed to be faintly tinged with... joy? Then, she added, "However, I got a bit of a clue yesterday. I believe I'll be able to find out in a few days."
"... Only a few days?" Steward Wang's focus was a bit strange. After hearing what Wei Shuxuan added later, the hint of joy on his face disappeared instantly, and his face turned a bit ugly.
The sharp - eyed Wei Shuxuan noticed the expression on his face. She pursed her lips and pretended to look at him curiously. "Steward Wang, what's wrong with you? You seem a bit unhappy."
Steward Wang was startled. He looked at Wei Shuxuan again, but seeing that she seemed to be completely oblivious, he felt a bit more at ease. He thought to himself that this person named Wei Luo really couldn't be underestimated. She could notice even the slightest change in expression. Before that thing was done, he mustn't let her find out.
"No, I'm just unhappy that it took so long to find the murderer. After all, I've received a lot of kindness from the master. I want to help him find the real murderer as soon as possible. If Master Wei needs any help from me, please come to me. I'll do my best."
"Then I really appreciate Steward Wang's kind offer of help."
Hearing Steward Wang's words, Wei Shuxuan smiled. Her smile was a bit creepy, but Steward Wang didn't seem to notice. Watching Steward Wang's back as he walked away, Wei Shuxuan put away her smile and muttered, "The greed is all over his face..." Although there was no evidence, she silently added this in her mind.
After observing, Wei Shuxuan found that Pan Leping would go out in the morning and come back in the afternoon to accompany Jin Yan'er. However, from what the two managers had said, he used to come back at night, but she didn't notice this. Was it because he had changed from a supervisor to the big boss, so he was more relaxed than before?
No, it shouldn't be like this.
Wei Shuxuan quickly denied the assumption in her mind. Changing from a supervisor to a boss, shouldn't there be a lot of things to learn? Although Pan Leping used to be a supervisor in Pan Anping's industries, didn't he only manage things within his own scope of responsibility?
Moreover, she didn't believe that a businessman like Pan Anping would let his younger brother get involved in all the things he was in charge of. After all, businessmen always developed in a direction that was beneficial to themselves.
Selfishness was human nature.
That night, the cold wind was biting, and the moon was as cold as water.
Xin Zizhao looked at Wei Shuxuan helplessly as she was rummaging through books and drinking tea in his room. "Go back to your own room."
This person was really something. She was clearly a woman, but she often went to a man's wing. How improper!
"Just let me stay here for a while. My room is really unsafe, okay?"
Hearing what Wei Shuxuan said, Xin Zizhao put down the book in his hand. "What do you mean by that?"
"Someone is monitoring my room," Wei Shuxuan poured herself another cup of tea, looking depressed. "Maybe they want to find out if I've made any progress in Pan Anping's case, or maybe they're assassins?"
"Who has the time to assassinate you? Are you overthinking?" Xin Zizhao was as sharp - tongued as Wei Shuxuan.
"I'm serious, okay? What about you? Is there anyone monitoring you?"
"No. It's you who got the right from the prime minister to investigate the case, not me. Moreover," Xin Zizhao raised his eyes. His dark eyes were gloomy. "I know very well if there's anyone monitoring outside the house."
"Wow, are you that awesome?" Wei Shuxuan looked at Xin Zizhao in surprise.
"Yeah, it means you're very good."
Wei Shuxuan explained to Xin Zizhao. Xin Zizhao frowned slightly. He seemed very confused about the completely incomprehensible words that she would come up with every now and then. Although he had saved her, he seemed to know nothing about this person in front of him. For example, where she came from and why she was so badly injured.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Wei Shuxuan looked at Xin Zizhao curiously.
"I'm wondering who you really are, why you were so badly injured, and your behavior is not like that of the people here. The women here would never be as carefree as you."
Wei Shuxuan was stunned for a moment. "You know I'm a woman?!"
"Yeah, after all, it was me who saved you."
Hearing Xin Zizhao's answer, she felt a bit depressed. She thought she had hidden it well.
"It's time for you to go back to your room."
Xin Zizhao issued the order to evict the guest mercilessly. Wei Shuxuan didn't even have time to retort before she was driven out by Xin Zizhao. She had no choice but to go back to her own room.
When she got back to her room and walked past the round table, she saw a note on the table...
