"How's it going, Xuan'er? Have you found anything?" Yang Xiaojing saw Wei Shuxuan coming out of the room she shared with her husband and quickly stepped forward to inquire. Just now, seeing Wei Shuxuan checking so intently, she didn't dare to make a sound to disturb her evidence - gathering.
"Xiaojing, I need a bit of time. Just looking like this, I can't find anything. Give us some time. I will definitely give you an explanation, as well as an explanation to all those who have lost their family members."
Seeing the serious and determined look in Wei Shuxuan's eyes, Yang Xiaojing chose to believe her words. She nodded. "Okay, Xuan'er, I believe you. I also believe that your companions will seek justice for us, help us find our family members. Also, I really appreciate your help today. Otherwise, my husband really wouldn't have come back because of that useless County Magistrate Luo."
"Humph, people like County Magistrate Luo will surely be dealt with sooner or later. Don't worry so much. Now, we'll take the physical evidence I've collected back to the inn first. If there's any news, I'll inform you."
"Okay, really trouble you, Xuan'er."
Yang Xiaojing thanked Wei Shuxuan again and again. The phoenix - like eyes with slightly upturned tails were filled with tears, looking as if they were about to fall at any moment. Wei Shuxuan smiled, took out an embroidered handkerchief from her body and handed it to Yang Xiaojing. "Xiaojing, don't cry anymore. Your husband is waiting for you."
"I know. Thank you, Xuan'er."
Wei Shuxuan wiped the tears from Yang Xiaojing's face with the handkerchief and then stuffed the handkerchief into Yang Xiaojing's hand. She turned her head and said to Xin Zizhao and the others, "Okay, let's go back."
After saying goodbye to Yang Xiaojing, Wei Shuxuan and the others returned to the inn. On the way back, Xin Zizhao asked Wei Shuxuan, who was repeatedly looking through the record book, "Xuan'er, do you have any clues about this incident?"
"Not yet for the moment. But I think the one who left the mark should be an organization. As for how large this organization is, I don't know. It still needs to be investigated."
Xin Zizhao looked at the sky. Night was gradually falling. The once - dazzling afterglow had now suddenly become dim. "For now, let's go back first. We'll conduct the investigation tomorrow. After traveling for so many days, everyone is tired, and so are you. You need to rest."
"I know, but I'm so excited now that I can't fall asleep even if I go back!" Wei Shuxuan was extremely excited because there was another case to investigate. She also knew that with the excessive secretion of adrenaline, she definitely couldn't fall asleep.
Hearing Wei Shuxuan's words, although Xin Zizhao felt a bit helpless, his eyes looking at Wei Shuxuan were still full of doting and love.
Back at the inn, after Wei Shuxuan and her group had a good meal, they each went back to their rooms to rest. Wei Shuxuan went to Wei Wei to get the drawing paper with the just - recorded marks and the collected white powder. "Wei Wei, give me the marks you drew as I told you and the wrapped white powder. I'm going to study them tonight."
"Okay, Miss. Please wait for me for a while."
While Wei Wei went into the room to get the things, as soon as Si Ma Yongheng saw Wei Shuxuan outside, he happily ran out of the room. "Sister Xuan!"
"Yongheng, why aren't you asleep yet? It's already very late."
Wei Shuxuan regarded Si Ma Yongheng as her younger brother and kindly reminded him. Si Ma Yongheng shook his head and replied, "Sister Xuan, I'll go to sleep after I wash up."
"That's good. I was really worried that you wouldn't get used to this kind of life."
"No, Sister Xuan. No matter how hard the life is, I can persevere. When I was a child, I also had a very long period of hard life. So, Sister Xuan, don't worry about me."
"That's good," Wei Shuxuan had just finished speaking when she saw Wei Wei walking towards her. He handed the things to Wei Shuxuan. "It's really troublesome for you, Wei Wei."
"It's not troublesome, Miss. It's my duty."
"Okay, then I won't stop you from resting. I'll leave first."
"Okay, Miss."
"Good night, Sister Xuan!"
Wei Shuxuan took the things back to her room. Xin Zizhao wasn't asleep yet. He was reading a medical book again. "Why aren't you asleep yet, Xin Zizhao?"
"Aren't you also still awake?" Xin Zizhao put down the medical book in his hand and looked at the things in Wei Shuxuan's hand. "What are you going to study?"
"Just right. Since you're not asleep yet, let's take a look at what this white powder is together!" Wei Shuxuan got excited and opened the small paper bag containing the white powder. There was only a little white powder inside.
"......Get a glass of water."
However, Xin Zizhao had already known that this would happen tonight. He silently sighed. As soon as Wei Shuxuan heard this, she immediately went to do it, but she poured a cup of tea for him. Xin Zizhao was a bit helpless. "I want plain boiled water. Tea won't work."
"I know. I'll go find the waiter to get a glass of plain boiled water right away!" Wei Shuxuan very actively ran downstairs to the lobby and asked the waiter for a glass of plain boiled water.
Xin Zizhao dipped a little of the white powder with his finger, put it into the plain boiled water and stirred it. Then he added a little something to the boiled water with the powder in it. After that, it could be seen that the boiled water changed color, turning into a light blue. If you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't see that blue.
"Xin Zizhao, what is this?" Wei Shuxuan looked at Xin Zizhao with a puzzled face.
"Nothing. It's just ordinary Soul - Numbing Powder. After inhaling it, people will fall into a coma and it will take at least three hours to wake up."
"Then I'll test how long the effect of this Soul - Numbing Powder lasts. Then I can calculate the time when Xiaojing's husband was kidnapped."
Seeing Wei Shuxuan so determined, Xin Zizhao sighed. "Let me do it."
"No, let me do it. Your martial arts are better and you can protect me. Should I drink this glass of water or inhale this powder?"
"......Inhale the powder."
Xin Zizhao had no choice but to agree to her request and let her inhale the Soul - Numbing Powder. Wei Shuxuan nodded. She only inhaled a tiny bit. Soon, Wei Shuxuan felt her consciousness gradually becoming blurred. The whole person seemed to sink into an endless abyss...
Seeing that Wei Shuxuan was about to fall, Xin Zizhao quickly caught her.
