Chapter 2333 Where did I see it?
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people in the room became more serious.
Of course they knew about that string of beads. They had learned earlier that the black market next to the manor belonged to the Second Prince because of it.
The string of beads was worn on the wrist of the man in charge of the black market.
So, this former manager has now come to Qingxuan County and even bumped into Wei Qin?
The group suddenly understood why Wei Qin had suffered such an undeserved misfortune. Being caught up in the black market incident, it was a miracle she had survived.
However, to confirm, Shu Yu still asked, "Was the person wearing the beaded necklace rather thin, about this tall, with long, narrow eyes and relatively large ears?"
They had even crossed paths before on the black market.
Wei Qin was stunned. How did she know?
"Yes, yes, that's him. You've met him before?"
Meng Yunzheng asked in a low voice, "Where did you see it?"
“He works in our shop,” Wei Qin said immediately. “He has a close relationship with our boss’s young master.”
The young master of the house? Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng exchanged a glance. So that shop was very likely a... base of the black market?
"Tell me in detail when you met him, what he said to your master's son, and whether your injury was related to him."
Meng Yunzheng walked back to the bedside.
Zhao Xi stood to the side and whispered, "She needs to rest, otherwise..."
"It's okay, I can do it." Wei Qin was actually feeling much better; apart from feeling a little dizzy, it didn't affect her speech.
Seeing that she was in a good mood, Zhao Xi finally stopped trying to stop her. He was also eager to know what had happened.
Seeing that her lips were chapped, Shu Yu immediately poured her a glass of warm water and fed her some before saying in a low voice, "Take your time, don't rush. If you feel uncomfortable, we'll stop and continue after you've rested enough."
Wei Qin looked at her gratefully, and after finishing her water, she spoke, "I first met him more than two months ago. At that time, I thought he was just a guest of the young master. That day, the young master's attendant went out to buy things, and I happened to be free, so Miss asked me to take the tea and snacks to the young master's study."
Wei Qin knew they were discussing important matters, so as soon as she entered the study, neither of them spoke.
She had little knowledge of business matters and didn't want to listen, so she put down the tea and prepared to leave.
Who knew that the guest's sleeves were a bit long, making it inconvenient to serve tea, so he pulled his sleeves forward a little.
With this pull, the beaded bracelet on his wrist was revealed.
Wei Qin was stunned for a moment, but the young lady outside was calling her, so she didn't have time to think it over and quickly came out.
Therefore, his demeanor and actions did not arouse the suspicion of the guest.
However, after she came out, she became more and more frightened, and her fingers trembled uncontrollably.
She was absolutely certain she hadn't misread it; she recognized the beaded string—it was the same one Da Zhuang used to carry around.
She knew all too well the significance of the beads on Dazhuang's body; they were left behind by the murderer who killed the Song family. Now, she saw the exact same string of beads on someone else. Did that mean... this person was connected to the murderer?
Wei Qin didn't want to speculate like that; she was both hoping it was true and hoping it wasn't.
Finding the murderer would be ideal, but if this person is indeed the murderer of the Song family, what can she, someone who is already imprisoned herself, do to the other party?
She feared that before she could report it to the authorities and have someone arrested, she would be dead herself.
