Wei Shuxuan felt the bed board and noticed a sunken spot. She quickly pushed the bed sheet aside and found a secret compartment inside. She pressed the sunken mechanism, and the wooden board that made a different sound suddenly popped up, almost scaring her.
"Whoa! This thing almost scared me to death. It just popped out of nowhere."
She moved the popped - up square small bed board aside and looked into the secret compartment. There were several books and a few pieces of paper inside. She picked up the books first and looked at the titles on the covers. They were all collections of poems and songs. Sure enough, she couldn't understand the classical Chinese.
She'd better open them to see what was inside. If she couldn't understand, she'd take them back to Xin Zizhao.
Wei Shuxuan opened one. From the literal meaning, they seemed to be amorous poems between men and women. Some of the words looked familiar. After flipping through several books, the content was basically the same. She'd take them back for a closer study.
Putting the books aside, Wei Shuxuan picked up the pieces of paper. The words were copied rather randomly, and it seemed as if someone was trying to imitate someone else's handwriting. Maybe these were practice papers. What on earth was Jin Yan'er practicing for?
Wei Shuxuan wondered, but she had a rough idea in her mind.
Well, she'd take these practice papers back too.
She carefully looked around the room again. Only when she found no other suspicious objects did she take those things back to her own room.
Back in her room, Wei Shuxuan took out the small booklet she'd brought back in the morning and compared the handwriting on it with Han Xinran's calligraphy and the practice papers of Jin Yan'er. She also compared the words in the booklet with those in the books.
By the time she finished all the comparisons, it was already evening. Wei Shuxuan closed the small booklet and let out a sigh. "Phew, finally finished reading."
Wei Shuxuan closed the booklet. The handwriting in this booklet was an imitation of Han Xinran's. Although the shape was very similar, it still lacked the charm of the original. And the person who imitated this handwriting was Jin Yan'er.
So, Jin Yan'er deliberately spread this booklet. It wasn't that Pan Anping fabricated the fact that Han Xinran had an affair with others. It was Jin Yan'er's scheme to confuse Pan Anping, so that Pan Anping would be determined to drive Han Xinran out of the Pan family. In this way, her position in the Pan family would be completely secured.
However, justice may be slow, but it never misses. Eventually, it was discovered.
She now wanted to take another look at the body of "Pan Leping" to confirm that "Pan Leping" was actually Pan Anping.
When she opened the door, the star - dotted night sky came into view. It was as if a Milky Way had been drawn across the sky. Occasionally, such a beautiful view could be seen on a clear winter night.
"I didn't expect it to be evening already..." Had she really been looking for so long? Wei Shuxuan thought to herself. Should she still go and take a look at the body at this time?
She hesitated for a moment but finally decided to go. After all, she was almost touching the source of the truth of the matter. She wanted to solve the case quickly.
"Forget it. I'll still go and take a look. It seems to be only around eight or nine o'clock in the evening."
As a modern person, how could Wei Shuxuan know the time without looking at a watch?
After asking the soldiers of the prime minister, she learned that the body of "Pan Leping" was placed in the wood - shed, and there were also two soldiers guarding there.
"Hello, two soldier brothers. I'm here to take a look at Pan Leping's body. May I have your permission to enter?"
The two soldiers recognized Wei Shuxuan. She was the young master personally appointed by their prime minister to investigate this case.
"Of course, Young Master Wei."
"Thank you both."
Wei Shuxuan didn't need a detailed examination of the body. She just wanted to look at some small details.
Lifting the white cloth, Wei Shuxuan saw a jade thumb - ring on the left hand of the body. She then checked the left and right hands. Since the person had held a pen for a long time, there might be calluses or slight deformities on the hands.
By comparing the left and right hands, Wei Shuxuan found that the fingers of the left hand of the body were slightly deformed, and the deformed positions were exactly where one would hold a pen. That is to say, this person was a left - hander!
Yes, this body was Pan Anping!
As for the person who killed Pan Anping, Wei Shuxuan had an idea in mind.
After leaving the wood - shed, Wei Shuxuan planned to go directly to the room of Pan Anping's son, that is, Pan Xintian's room to check.
Just as she was quickly walking through the deserted path, suddenly a black figure leaped down from above and stood in front of Wei Shuxuan.
Suddenly, someone appeared in front of her, almost scaring her to death. And this was a remote and deserted path.
"Wei Wei, what are you doing? You scared me to death!" Wei Shuxuan reached out to comfort her frightened heart.
"I'm very sorry, Miss. I just saw that it was already late at night and wanted to remind Miss to go back to the room and rest as soon as possible."
"Late at night? What time is it now?" Wei Shuxuan was too excited about the investigation. The excessive secretion of adrenaline in her body made her feel no tiredness.
"Back to Miss, it's already Chen Shi."
"Chen Shi..." Wei Shuxuan carefully recalled the corresponding table of the twelve two - hour periods. It seemed to be the middle of the night. Had it really gotten so late?
"But I still have something to do now. I'll go back to the room and rest later."
Wei Shuxuan smiled and patted Wei Wei on the shoulder. "Wei Wei, I tell you, this case will soon come to light."
Saying that, Wei Shuxuan turned around and walked in the opposite direction of her room. Wei Wei looked at his master's somewhat petite back and thought of her hard work on this case in the past few days. A part of his cold heart couldn't help but soften.
"Wei Wei, since you're free, accompany me for a walk. Anyway, it's so late that no one will find you."
Wei Shuxuan's voice came from not far away, faintly discernible in the hazy cold frost of the late night. Wei Wei was stunned for a moment and then quickly caught up.
"Miss, where are we going now?" Wei Wei knew the roads around here. It was the courtyard near the rooms of Pan Anping and Han Xinran.
"Of course, it's Pan Xintian's room."
Pushing open the door of Pan Xintian's room, it was quite simple inside. There were several bookshelves. Wei Shuxuan casually flipped through them and found that they were all medical books. So, was Pan Xintian studying medicine?
Wei Shuxuan was stunned for a moment. Just then, Wei Wei beside her said, "Miss, I'll go inside and take a look."
A moment later, Wei Wei's voice came from inside...
