“Miss Wang, it’s being late. How may I help you?”Ji Yue opened the door but didn’t invite Wang Yao into the room.

Wang Yao smiled at him and said, “Detective, I told you that I always want to tell you something that I remember two days ago. But I didn’t get the chance since so many things happened these days and his lordship is not feeling good. I happen to have some time now. May I talk to you for a minute inside?”

“Sure thing.” I Yue smiled and invited her in after giving it a thought.

Wang Yao was surprised to see Xia Liang on the bed. She said smilingly, “she is with you these days. I should have known it since she was close with you last time I saw her. She likes you.”

“Um.” responded Ji Yue smilingly, “she is a good cat. I like her too.”

Wang Yao smiled and turned back to him, “Detective, the day Mr. Nangong went missing, I saw him. He looked rather absent-minded. He was answering a phone at the time and said ‘impossible, I don’t believe it’ or something like that. And he looked terrible like he was terrified.”

“When was it when he answered the phone?” asked Ji Yue, frowning.

“About dinner time, six-ish. ”She paused as if she was recalling seriously, “yes, it’s about that time. It was the second day after her ladyship’s funeral. We had done pretty much everything and his lordship just went to sleep after taking medicine. I happened to have some free time by then. That’s why I remember so clearly.”

“Did Mr. Nangong go out after that?” Ji Yue nodded and kept asking her.

“Yes. I saw him driving out. But I didn’t expect that he…” she looked sad as she paused, “that he was found dead at the horse ranch. His lordship is getting better these days but now he almost…”

“My condolence.” said Ji Yue gently.

Wang Yao forced a smile but her face was pale and her eyes were full of sorrow.

As she looked away and saw the box on the table, there was sparkle in her eyes. But she pretended to ask nonchalantly, “they told me that you have found the crime that murdered Xiaomei. It’s Li Shun. Really didn’t see that.”

“Yes.” nodded Ji Yue, “Li Shun killed Xiaomei because of money but he didn’t kill Mr. Nangong.”

“Because of money?” Wang Yao was confused and asked while pointing at the box the on the table, “is it because of the box? Can I have a look?”

Ji Yue looked at her and opened the box for her. “Of course you can. But you can’t touch it because it is important evidence. You can look at it.” said Ji Yue.

“Thank you.” said Wang Yao with a smile, “I am just curious. So I’ll just take a look.”

She marched forward and looked into the box. When she saw what was in the box, she squeezed her fists and quickly looked away. “it is a strange box and it looked old.” she said.

“Yes.”Ji Yue responded, “Miss Wang, it’s getting late. If you will excuse me, I need to go to bed now.”

“Good night. Sorry for the trouble.” Wang Yao said with a smile and greeted to Xia Liang, “good night, Liang.”

After Wang Yao left, Ji Yue closed the door and got back on bed. Xia Liang hopped onto him and pressed her forehead against his.

“There is something wrong with her.”
