The man immediately revealed a happy smile. That's great! He actually didn't need to enter the room. But soon after, his happy smile froze on his face.
Bing-Er took a yellow token from the man's waist and put it away, then she sheathed her dagger, "It's fine if you don't enter the room. I will temporarily keep this token for you to prevent you from running away." And you have to stand by the door and watch for me. " She knew that the ancient tokens were very important to everyone. Once she took off the man's token, she was not afraid that he would run away.
The man's smile froze on his face, and he reluctantly agreed to Bing'er's suggestion, "Fine."
Bing-Er pulled the man into the room and lit the candle on the table, "Come here." Bing-Er called the man at the door.
"Ah?" You still want to go over? " The man looked at Bing-Er with a troubled face.
Bing-Er gave the man a helpless look, and then put the candle in his hand, "Hold the candle up high and help me light it up."
The man took the candle from Bing'er and held it high. Bing'er took a quick look at the room with the help of the candle. The room was very simple; aside from the bed, there was a broken table and chairs.
Bing-Er walked over to the bed and looked at the sheets. It seemed like it took a long time for the sheets to be worn out. There were some scratches on the sheets. The head of the bed was made of old red pine, and there were deep scratches on it as well.
Bing-Er looked around the room carefully before she left.
The man followed Bing'er silently. There was nothing he could do.
When he left the house, the man stopped walking behind Bing'er and looked at her, "Hey, I've already brought you into the house and brought you out. Shouldn't you give me back the token?"
Bing-Er turned around and smiled at the man apologetically, "Sorry, I can't return the token to you yet. But don't worry, I will return the token to you after I'm done." After saying that, Bing-Er quickened her steps and disappeared into the dim night. The man stood where he was, looking at Bing-Er's disappearing figure with interest.
Bing'er had originally wanted to go to the Liang Household to look for Sihan, but it was too late. Together with the news that Zhining and Grandma Lu were still waiting for her, she had directly returned to the Sky No. 1 Bureau.
Not long after Bing'er had left, she had also left the Sky One Investigation Division and walked towards the Chief Patrol Officer's residence in the Southern Prefecture. If she did not remember wrongly, the documents she had snatched from the Chen Family guards today should have clearly stated the autopsy list for the young maid. Back then, she had been too excited to see clearly what had been written on the list.
When Zhining arrived at the Prime Minister's Estate, she did not see the silhouette of the Chief Patrol Officer. However, he saw Wang Chen rushing into the South Mansion.
ZhiNing thought for a moment, then quickly took a few steps to catch up with Wang Chen. She smiled at him and asked, "Uncle Wang, why are you in such a hurry to enter the Southern Mansion?"
"Oh, it's Chen Zhi. The patrolman ordered me to go to his study room and show him Lu Zhao's contract documents." Wang Chen said to Zhining as he walked.
From the corner of her eyes, ZhiNing noticed the cold sweat oozing out of Wang Chen's forehead. She lowered her head and looked at his ankle. Sure enough, Wang Chen walked with a slight limp.
"I just happen to have something to discuss with Sir Inspector. How about this, let me deliver the documents to Sir Inspector on your behalf, okay?" ZhiNing looked at Wang Chen with a concerned look.
A few days before, Wang Chen's ankle had been injured when he had caught the thief, but he had refused to see the doctor in order to stay with his lordship all day long, to work for him and show that he was capable.
Wang Chen was a man who loved face. Even if his ankle was painful, he would still persist in completing the task given to him by his lord. Although his head was dripping with cold sweat, she guessed that his ankle would be in great pain right now. She did not mention anything about the injury on Wang Chen's ankle, as she wanted to give him some face.
"Eh?" Hearing this, Wang Chen was slightly stunned. He then glanced at his ankle. Although reluctant, he had to let Zhining take his place. His ankle was in great pain right now. Alright, since there are some matters that I need to attend to in my family, I'll have you take my place and bring the documents to sire for him to take note of. "
ZhiNing was instantly overjoyed. She didn't expect to see Lu Zhao's confession so easily. She quickened her steps, lest Wang Chen change his mind before he died.
"Wait a moment." Wang Chen called out to her from behind.
ZhiNing was shocked. Had Wang Chen changed his mind? She turned around and smiled at Wang Chen, "Uncle Wang, is there anything else?"
