Qin Wan was walking when she suddenly heard a voice asking her, "Xiao Qin, what a coincidence! Where are you taking your child to play?"
When Qin Wan heard the voice, he subconsciously raised his head, and where his eyes fell was the familiar and majestic figure - Mrs. Huo!
This unexpected encounter filled Qin Wan with an indescribable sense of surprise. He thought, "This is like someone offering a pillow just when you're sleepy. I just had a question to ask, and here I am, on the way."
Of course, despite being extremely excited, Qin Wan still managed to remain calm, and asked with a smile as if he was talking to an ordinary acquaintance:
"Oh, it's Aunt Huo! I just went to Captain Wang's house to play for a while. Now it's time to make lunch, so I'm going home to cook. Aunt Huo, are you going home too?"
Mrs. Huo nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, I walked outside and it's a bit cold. I'll go home and warm up."
After a few brief greetings, the two said goodbye to each other and walked in different directions.
No one noticed that at the moment they passed each other, Mrs. Huo lowered her voice and said to Qin Wan quickly and softly:
"Remember to come to my house at night."
After saying this, he left in a hurry.
As the night deepened and the sky became completely dark, Qin Wan carefully observed his surroundings.
Only after she saw that the lights in Aunt Zhang's and Aunt Yu's houses next door had been turned off did she feel at ease to act.
She gently placed the sleeping child into her own space, laid him down properly, and then tiptoed out of the house.
After rushing all the way, when Qin Wan arrived at Mrs. Huo's house, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
She was about to raise her hand to push the door, but it was quietly opened and a strong hand quickly pulled her in.
Before Qin Wan could react, she was already inside the house. Then, she heard the sound of a door closing softly behind her, as Mrs. Huo closed it tightly.
The room was pitch black, and the two men did not light the oil lamp. Instead, they talked in the faint moonlight that seeped in through the cracks in the window.
"Director Huo, did you call me here for a new task?" Qin Wan asked.
"Xiao Qin, just call me aunt from now on. It's more intimate. We can talk about the mission later. First, tell me what you have discovered these days." said Mrs. Huo.
"good."
Qin Wan took a deep breath and slowly told Mrs. Huo everything he had seen outside the wall of Captain Wang's house that night.
"That night, I wanted to visit Captain Wang's house, but unexpectedly, I caught a glimpse of a mysterious figure outside the courtyard, hurrying up to the wall. He was fast and his footsteps were quiet. Fortunately, I have good hearing and hid early, otherwise he would have discovered me.
Later, I secretly observed outside the wall of Captain Wang's house several times, but I didn't see the figure again. Later, I found that the back of the old lady of the Wang family was surprisingly similar to the person I saw that night.
After recounting this experience, Qin Wan paused for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and then expressed his inner speculation:
"In my opinion, the old lady of the Wang family is most likely the person that night! But... I really don't understand. If that person is the old lady of the Wang family, why is there a human scent in her room?"
After saying that, she looked at Mrs. Huo with a puzzled look on her face, as if expecting to get some enlightenment from her.
Mrs. Huo nodded slightly, indicating that she understood Qin Wan's confusion, and encouraged:
"In that case, why not take a bold guess and guess what the reason is?"
Qin Wan frowned and thought for a moment, then hesitantly said:
"Uh... maybe the old lady arranged for someone else to replace her in the house."
However, Mrs. Huo was not satisfied with this answer and continued to ask:
"Besides this, is there no other possibility?"
Faced with the old lady's further guidance, Qin Wan couldn't help but look embarrassed, shook his head slightly and said:
"Other possibilities? At the moment, I really can't think of anything else."
She seemed a little embarrassed while speaking.
At this time, Mrs. Huo smiled and patiently reminded:
"For example, could it be that someone deliberately lured the old lady out of the house and took the opportunity to go back to her house to look for something important?
Or maybe she was really in the house originally, but then she noticed you outside and hurried out; otherwise, is it possible that there were actually two other people hiding in her room the whole time?
Qin Wan was stunned by the answer given by the old lady. It was not until then that the hidden sense of superiority in Qin Wan's heart disappeared without a trace.
She also deeply realized that this world was too complicated. Even though she came from the end of the world, she had no right to be arrogant in this world.
"Then, which type could the old lady of the Wang family be?"
Qin Wan asked sincerely, with curiosity and thirst for knowledge shining in his eyes.
Mrs. Huo was keenly aware of Qin Wan's calm state of mind at the moment, and she couldn't help but feel relieved. She was sincerely happy for Qin Wan's rapid growth.
At this moment, Mrs. Huo decided not to keep the secret any longer, but explained directly to Qin Wan:
"Actually, this was done by a comrade from our Institute of Supernatural Powers who's an expert at tracking. He even cleverly tricked the old lady."
Qin Wan was immediately interested when he heard this, and couldn't wait to ask:
"A trick? What kind of trick is it? Tell me about it!"
Mrs. Huo smiled slightly and quickly explained:
