Miss Truth

Chai Xuanyi was quite cooperative and readily agreed to Ran Yan’s request, personally leading them to the bookroom.

The Chai residence’s bookroom held an impressive number of books, which was not at all fewer than those in Xiao Song’s residence. There was a pear wood bookshelf as tall as a person situated near the south wall, on which were placed many scrolls and record books.

It was eight months ago that Chai Xuanyi had rolled down the hillside, which resulted in his amnesia. Seeing the sheer volume of records, it was apparent that the documentation had been ongoing for quite some time and should be quite detailed.

Ran Yan sought out the record book from the most recent period to examine.

Chai Xuanyi said, "After the two of you finish, you can leave on your own."

Ran Yan understood his thought process, he might not recognize them when they met again later.

Chai Xuanyi only faintly suspected he had amnesia, but he didn’t know his specific situation, and since Ran Yan had never observed and diagnosed him, she naturally couldn’t confirm how long his memory would last. However, based on her understanding of the condition, it should not be more than two days.

"Can his illness be cured?" Liu Qingsong asked after Chai Xuanyi had departed.

Ran Yan shook her head, "He and Princess Wenxi suffer from very rare diseases. Princess Wenxi’s case is a bit better, as long as the living environment is stable, there wouldn’t be much of a problem. But Chai Xuanyi’s situation is troublesome. As time goes by, he will forget more and more things, may not even know basic common sense and his intelligence might be affected."

This meeting with Chai Xuanyi was obviously very different from the smiling, easygoing man they had seen some time ago.

"Could it have been Princess Wenxi who killed the person?" Liu Qingsong muttered while he also picked up a book of records to examine, "If it really was her, what would be the motive? According to Chai Xuanyi’s record from yesterday, their marital relationship is not bad. Otherwise, Princess Wenxi wouldn’t rely on him so much."

Ran Yan, without lifting her head, said, "You’re actually talking sense this time. Wasn’t a body found in the suburbs of the eastern city? Chai Xuanyi had seen Princess Wenxi once in the morning that day, and it wasn’t until the evening that he saw her again. Throughout that entire day, she had plenty of time to commit the crime."
