"Mhm."
Zeng Anmin slowly nodded upon hearing this, a sharp gleam flashing across his face.
"Then this maid named Xiang Chun will be the main target for the next step in our investigation.
"In eight days, she couldn't have gone far.
"Moreover, the mastermind behind this case probably wants to use this to coerce Assistant Minister Lou, so he won't let this maid get far."
At this point, he slowly looked up at Bai Ziqing, a glint in his eyes. "If you act quickly, Lou Tong might... still be saved."
"Ah?" Bai Ziqing froze, his eyes widening. "What do you mean?"
Zeng Anmin slowly stood up. He glanced up at the peach blossoms on the tree, his voice faintly quiet.
"Ziqing, think about it. If she were just an ordinary maid, how could she quietly sneak into the courtyard, administer the poison, and then swiftly infiltrate Assistant Minister Lou's study and bedchamber?
"And even manage to leave without a trace after the crime... Isn't that suspicious?"
