"Then how did your mother die?" Deng Fan asked sternly.

"She was shot." Wang Xinyu said.

"Shoot?" Deng Fan frowned, he then asked: "Can you tell me more?"

"Actually, there's nothing much to be said." Wang Xinyu said, "According to Old Ding, my mother was shot and killed by a thief who entered the house, but I don't think it's that simple."

"Didn't he see the killer's face?"

Wang Xinyu shook his head, and said: "Old Ding said that person had a face covered by a black robe. I was wondering recently if the killer was the assassin from last time. "

"It really is possible!" Deng Fan did not comment, he felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed, "The culprit should not be just a simple Thief, even a Thief is not an ordinary Thief, he must have a great background."

"How long ago was that?" Deng Fan asked, "I'm talking about when your mother was killed."

"It's been a long time. At that time, I was still very young. It's been almost ten years." Wang Xinyu said.

"So this is what happened after Old Ding came to your house?" Deng Fan asked.

"Yes." Wang Xinyu nodded, "Is there a problem with that?"

"I'm thinking, why didn't Old Ding stop this tragedy from happening?" Deng Fan thought and asked.

"He's just a servant. How is he going to deal with a thief with a gun?" Wang Xinyu said.

"Who else was at home?"

"Other than my mother, only Old Ding has a nanny." Wang Xinyu thought about it before adding, "Oh yes, there should be two guards, but they said that they didn't see the culprit."

"Two guards?" Deng Fan was surprised, "There's still security?"

"At that time, my father's career was not as bright as it is now. To be able to hire two guards was already out of budget." Wang Xinyu said, "The security guards you are seeing in my house were invited here only a few years ago."

"So that's how it is." Deng Fan scratched his chin, and nodded as if he had thought of something.

"Have the police never solved the case?" Deng Fan asked after a while.

"If I can solve this case, I won't trouble you anymore."

"Don't tell me you have no leads at all?"

"I'm sure there are clues, but I'm not sure about the specifics." After Wang Xinyu said that, she turned and looked at Deng Fan, and said respectfully: "I do not care about the process, I only want the result, I want my mother's murderer to receive the punishment that she deserves!"

"Forgive me for being blunt, but your mother has been dead for so many years. It would be very difficult to find the murderer." Deng Fan said.

"I also know that it's very unlikely. If you don't have any confidence, then just pretend that I didn't say anything." Wang Xinyu was obviously very disappointed.

"I didn't say I wouldn't help!" Deng Fan patted his chest, "I like challenges the most, the more difficult things are, the more I like them to do. If anyone can do what anyone can, there's no need for me to feel accomplished, even if it's done."

"If you can help me find the killer, I will reward you handsomely." Wang Xinyu said.

"Promise me your life?" Deng Fan immediately asked.

Hearing that, Wang Xinyu's expression suddenly froze, she quietly looked at Deng Fan, her face had a look of displeasure, but she was not angry.

Deng Fan had thought that Wang Xinyu would definitely reject him, but he never expected that Wang Xinyu would actually agree to it!

"Well, if you do, I'll leave myself to you." Wang Xinyu said indifferently, completely unlike a perfunctory remark.

"With your words, I will do my best." Deng Fan promised seriously.

"I don't care what method you use, I only want the result." Wang Xinyu emphasized.

"I know. I know what to do." Deng Fan paused for a moment before continuing, "First Miss, I admire you more and more."

"Why?" Wang Xinyu said in disdain, "Do you like my beauty?"

"I admire your personality more than your beauty." Deng Fan said, "Even though you were born into a wealthy family, you have always been strong due to the loss of your mother since young and your illness. Regardless of whether it was in your studies or work, you are always so hardworking and smart.

"Don't praise me, I have my own opinions of myself." Wang Xinyu's tone was very calm, as if she was already immune to such praises.

"What I said was true." Deng Fan said with a stern expression.

"Alright, stop wasting your time talking nonsense. If you have time, go do what you need to do!" Wang Xinyu said.

"Alright, then I'll take my leave first." Deng Fan was about to leave after he finished speaking.

"Wait a moment." Wang Xinyu suddenly added, "Right now, your main task is to help me find the killer who killed my mother. Time is still under your control, you don't need to have to come to work here."

"I know." Deng Fan nodded, "I'll send you home tonight." With that, he turned and left.

After exiting the office, Deng Fan first returned to his station, sat down and quietly thought about things, planning his following actions.

"Brother Fan, what are you thinking?" Wang Ming suddenly walked to Deng Fan's side and asked, "Did you encounter any difficulty?"

"What a joke, I don't have any problems in front of me." Deng Fan said confidently.

"That's right, what kind of difficult problem would it take in front of Brother Fan to solve it?" Wang Ming rubbed his hands while speaking, he then asked after a pause, "I wonder if Brother Fan is free tonight? I want to treat you to a meal. "

"You're not just treating me to a meal, are you?" Deng Fan looked at Wang Ming suspiciously, "Do you need my help again?"

"Sigh, nothing can be hidden from Brother Fan …" Wang Ming scratched his head in embarrassment.

"You, when did you not have a favor to ask of me?" Deng Fan said.

"Indeed, there are some things I would like to ask you." Wang Ming said in embarrassment.

"Let me see if you have time, or I can ask you out when I'm free!" Deng Fan said.

"Alright, but it's best not to wait too long." Wang Ming said.

"I know, I should strike while the iron is hot." Deng Fan replied, "Don't worry, I, as a good person, will not quit halfway!" With that, he patted Wang Ming's back to show that he was okay.

"Then, I'll have to thank Brother Fan first!" Wang Ming thanked his repeatedly and returned to his station happily.

After thinking about it again and again, Deng Fan decided to ask Di Lili for help first, and immediately left the company.

Just as he walked out of the company's main entrance, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking towards him. Focusing his gaze, he saw that it was none other than Su Xiaobei.

"Master!" When Su Xiaobei saw Deng Fan from afar, she ran towards him, overjoyed.

"Why did you come here?" Deng Fan asked in surprise.

"Today's the holidays!" Su Xiaobei said as she held Deng Fan's hand, "What's wrong, you don't need to go to work either?"

"Aren't I going to work?" Deng Fan said.

"Then why did you come out?" Little Bas frowned doubtfully.

"Sigh, your sister gave me such hard work, how can I sit in an office building so comfortably?" Deng Fan shook his head and sighed.

"What does my sister want you to do?" Su Xiaobei's beautiful eyes actually lit up.

"To investigate a case." Deng Fan casually replied.

"I want to go too!" Su Xiaobei immediately shouted out, "I'll be your assistant!" She seemed to be in high spirits and was filled with confidence in herself.

"This idea isn't bad. Come, let's get on the car first!" After Deng Fan finished speaking, he walked towards the direction of the garage.

"You mean my sister wants you to investigate my aunt's death?" Su Xiaobei who was sitting in the car was extremely surprised when she heard about Deng Fan's mission.

"Yes." Deng Fan nodded.

"But that's a long time ago."

"That's why it's tricky."

Su Xiaobei sighed, and said: "I'm afraid that even the police have given up on the investigation?"

"No matter what, since I've taken over this case, I must get to the bottom of it." Deng Fan said resolutely.

"I support you!" Su Xiaobei raised her clenched fist and said with a serious face: "We must bring the murderer to justice!"

"Perhaps the murderer is no longer alive." Deng Fan said, "But I will definitely give your sister an explanation."

Hearing that, Su Xiaobei slowly lowered his head, and after a moment of silence, she raised his head and gently asked: "Oh yes, there is one more thing I do not understand about the case last time."

"What don't you understand?" Deng Fan asked curiously.

"It's a female ghost!" Su Xiaobei raised her voice, "That night, I clearly saw a yellow light and a white light in the library..."

"The white light is from my watch." Deng Fan immediately followed.

"What about that yellow light and that female ghost!"

"Where's the female ghost?!" Deng Fan said, "That is just a puppet set up with a timing mechanism."

"That's not right! Then why is it that when I went in, the golem was gone? " Su Xiaobei was puzzled, "Weren't you the only one inside at that time?"

"Yes, but the ghost you see is not in the same space as me." Deng Fan said.

"What?" Weren't they all in the library? Why are they not in the same space? " Su Xiaobei was startled.

"If you have paper and pen, you'll understand if I draw a picture with you." Deng Fan said, "Simply put, there is a secret room in the library, the secret room is hidden behind two bookshelves beside the wall, outsiders cannot discover it."

Su Xiaobei blinked in surprise, thought for a while and asked again, "But, if it's like that, can't I see it from inside the library? "Ahhh!" As she finished speaking, she suddenly called out softly, as if she had thought of something important.

"That's right, it's that special window that's blocking the dark room. From the inside, we can't see the scene in the dark room at all." Deng Fan explained, "The windows in the secret room are almost parallel to the ones in the library, so it is impossible to tell whether it is normal or not from the outside. As the space within the dark room is very small, it's hard to find. However, it's enough to store a small desk and a puppet. "

"But who would be so eager to play such a prank?" Su Xiaobei still didn't understand.

"How is this a simple prank?" Deng Fan said, "I think those outlaws are trying to create a terrifying atmosphere that would cause ghosts in the library. They would make it so that no one would dare to get close to them at night, which would allow them to move around conveniently at night."

"I see!" Su Xiaobei suddenly realized something and could not help but praise Deng Fan again: "Master is really smart! I like you more and more! "

"If you like me, don't fall in love with me." Deng Fan reminded.

Hearing that, Su Xiaobei stuck out her tongue, her face flushed red, and she lowered her head silently without saying a word.

As it was business time, Deng Fan went straight to the police station to find Di Lili.

Di Lili brought Deng Fan and Su Xiaobei into his own office and began an official conversation.

"I'm here to ask you about a murder that happened ten years ago." Deng Fan went straight to the point, "The victim is the wife of Eagle's Claws Company's chairman, Wang Shusen."

Hearing that, Di Lili's face changed, but after a while, she said: "I have only heard of that case, after all, it's been a long time, it's going to be very difficult to investigate."

"It's rare for the police to give up on the investigation just like that?" Deng Fan asked.
