“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 . ”
