Chapter 341 - 198: Riding on the Swinging Car
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, mornings and evenings had interchanged, days whispering away into silence.
During these days, Jiang Shouzhong spent his daylight hours accompanying Li Nanshuang in searching for Yan’er, his evenings studying some case files related to the former Magistrate of Qingzhou with Ran Qingchen, and his nights discussing life with Mengniang.
Although Yan’er could not be found, new discoveries had been made in the investigation of He Benquan.
Extracting the thread from the mess of files, Jiang Shouzhong had uncovered some dubious clues and had even personally visited the prison where Qu Hongling had attempted to assassinate He Benquan, ultimately concluding—
The former Magistrate He Benquan hadn’t died at all.
Someone had secretly replaced him with a look-alike, deceiving everyone.
This investigative result undoubtedly shocked Ran Qingchen.
At this moment, in the study, the flickering candlelight was dim, like scattered stars.
Ran Qingchen gazed intently at the detailed logical deductions that Jiang Shouzhong had written down, her eyes shimmering like ripples on water; with each point, the skepticism in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by disbelief.
When she looked up at Jiang Shouzhong again, her gaze was full of astonishment and admiration.
