"What's wrong? Your eyes suddenly lit up." Gu Xin looked at Fatty Wang in surprise.

“Third Miss, I recognize this, I recognize this one,” Fatty Wang said excitedly.

"You recognize him? They've all dispersed, yet you still recognize him?" Gu Xin asked, somewhat incredulous.

These beads are very common. If they are strung together and have special markings, you can recognize them at a glance. But when they are scattered, they are so ordinary and they look like they belong to a girl. How did Fatty Wang recognize them?

“I recognize it, I really recognize it. Third Miss, give it to me.” Fatty Wang took two beads from Gu Xin’s hand, took the clasp as well, and handed the torch in his hand to Gu Xin. “Third Miss, please light this carefully for me.”

Gu Xin: "?"

Hey, this fatso is ordering me around?

Despite her thoughts, Gu Xin did as instructed.

"Third Miss, look." After confirming it again, Fatty Wang picked up the bead and held it up to the firelight. "Do you see that the bead has changed color?"

Gu Xin looked over and realized it was true; it had been a pale white before, but now it had turned pinkish.

"Look again." Fatty Wang turned to another angle.

Gu Xin's eyes widened in surprise. This...this color changed again.

"This is a rare item that appeared at the Treasure Pavilion at the beginning of the month. I even tried to snatch it from someone, but I lost. My finances aren't good enough!" Fatty Wang shook his head and sighed. "I didn't expect the Feng family's daughter to get it. Wait a minute, I remember it was a man who bought it!"

"Are you sure you really bought it from Treasure Pavilion? Isn't it available anywhere else?" Gu Xin asked.

"It's confirmed! The owner of Zhenbaoge said it's from Jinan Prefecture, which they got this from earlier this year. Jinan Prefecture doesn't produce much, and he managed to snag this one. He said it's the only one in the entire Taizhou Prefecture. The rest ended up in Jiangnan; there aren't any in the capital. There are only four in total!" Fatty Wang sighed. "I was finally thinking of getting something for my wife, and someone robbed me! That damned man, tell me, how could he be so ungrateful? Is it easy for me to buy my wife a gift? We've been married for years, and I finally thought of buying her something, and it's all stolen. I feel so sorry for my wife!"

Gu Xin sneered, "I really feel sorry for your wife! The child can run away now, and this is the first time you've thought of sending something to your wife? Is your wife not your in-laws' biological daughter? Otherwise, why would they marry their daughter to a scoundrel like you?"

Fatty Wang's beady green eyes gleamed as he vigorously tapped his large head: "Oh dear, Third Miss, you're really clever! My wife isn't actually my in-laws' biological daughter. She's my in-laws' adopted daughter. They never had any children of their own, intending to cherish her. But when she was three, they had a son, and then several sons in a row. Yet, my wife is still the most cherished, because my in-laws have many sons, and this is the only daughter they've ever adopted!"

Gu Xin was taken aback, then smiled helplessly.

Why does she keep such a clown around? Is investigating a serious case just for him to make people laugh?

“Third Miss, don’t disbelieve me. Look at this clasp, isn’t it engraved with orchids? The owner of the Treasure Pavilion said that plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums were specially crafted by the craftsmen of Jinnan Prefecture. So, this is definitely the one I saw, there’s no mistake.” Fatty Wang affirmed again.
