No one else would know. So, I wonder if there might have been some eavesdropping device hidden inside this ornament. Because knowing that Ling Xiu cared deeply for Qingchi, he would carry it with him at all times, making it the perfect window for leaking information.
If my speculation is correct, then Third Young Master Jun knowing my grandfather's schedule means, undoubtedly, that he is the most likely murderer! Of course, this is only my conjecture since the actual ornament has disappeared, and I can't prove that there indeed was an eavesdropping device inside it. Therefore, I've come to you today to seek your advice on how much of my conjecture might be correct?
Ye Lu sighed inwardly, almost completely right, just missing the final, unexpected step that no one would have anticipated or believed.
The person who assassinated Old Ling was Third Young Master Jun, but the one who actually killed him was not.
However, who would believe such an absurd and utterly unproven conclusion?
