The assassination of a general in Osiri shocked the entire region, and the state of Puda launched an unprecedented crackdown, especially since the assassin had escaped.
When the investigation finally led to Anatoli, he was completely stunned. What? That beautiful lady might be the murderer?
"Where did she hide the weapon?" This was the question that came out of Anatoli's mouth when the investigating soldier found him. He never expected that this would get him into big trouble. He knew the suspected murderer and had been socializing with her all over the place. They seemed to be quite familiar with each other.
Many people greeted her. At the time, she was dressed very boldly and revealingly, leaving no room to hide her weapons, especially a miniature crossbow, which was far superior to a pistol.
Everyone knows that the crossbow bolt killed General Ak, but after searching high and low, they only found one suspected murderer. Where did this person come from? They can't find him. Even the invitation had changed hands several times before it was sold. They also couldn't find out how the crossbow bolt was brought in.
Because of his powerful family background, Anatoli was only interrogated and suffered minor injuries before being released.
Those who resold the invitations, because they had no connections, were all arrested, and even the family that received the invitations suffered as a result.
In the end, the investigation found no such person, and they couldn't figure out how the crossbow was brought in. In addition, another general's vehicle went missing and its whereabouts were unknown.
After so much turmoil, what people talk about most is not the general's death, but Anatole and the mysterious assassin lady.
Anatoli became a lustful fool, being used without realizing it, while An Moxue became a beautiful poppy, making many upper-class people wary of beautiful women for a long time.
An Moxue never expected to become famous under such circumstances, nor did she expect that scandalous news would always be the most talked-about topic, even among An Moxue's small group of friends.
A group of people were gathered together, discussing the new store and gossiping about the latest news.
"Giddy, I think your idea is great. As long as we pre-deposit a certain amount, we can have priority in choosing the latest products in the store, and we can also get discounts. This way, our cash flow will be more flexible, and we'll retain customers better," Sophia exclaimed sincerely!
She had always spent money in her life, and this was the first time she had earned money herself. The feeling was quite novel and gave her a great sense of accomplishment. Even her father praised her, saying that she had grown up. Knowing that it was Jiduo who suggested that the shop be opened with the help of several friends, he also told her to take it seriously. This time, she could feel that her father had high expectations for her, and she couldn't let him down.
Sofia has already decided how to spend her first earnings: she will use them to buy a gift for both her father and mother.
Martha looked up at An Moxue and said, "Giddy, it's a good thing you have experience, otherwise we would be completely clueless."
"Yes, that's right, experience from a small restaurant." An Moxue said seriously, but then she couldn't help but laugh.
The group glanced at her, then looked at each other, and suddenly burst into laughter.
People passing by the pavilion glanced in their direction. Although they didn't know what the girls were laughing about, their good mood was contagious, and some of them smiled along with them.
After laughing, they started gossiping.
Saiya asked mysteriously, "How did that beautiful assassin manage to bring the crossbow into the manor?"
"Do you have any new information?" Martha looked at her eagerly, hoping for some new news.
Saiya rolled his eyes, speechless. "No, that's why I asked you guys. If I had, who would have asked?"
Katyusha offered an objective analysis: "I don't think she took the weapon in; someone else did. Didn't they say there was nowhere to hide something in her clothes?"
Sofia asked, "But where did she get her weapons?"
"Yes! Where did she get her crossbow bolts?"
An Moxue suppressed a laugh in her heart; of course, it came from the space.
The question has come full circle. Over the past few days, the topic of assassinating General Ak has been repeatedly raised with the same few questions. They seem to never tire of it and always want to ask. Even without a result, they still seem to enjoy it. Perhaps this is the pleasure of gossip.
An Moxue interrupted them, "Alright, we won't come up with any new answers by discussing this. Let's get back to the shop! After school this afternoon, who's free to go to the shop and take a look at how far the renovations are going?"
Sophie glanced at the group and said, "I'll go! I'm fine."
An Moxue glanced at her watch and said, "Okay. Let's leave it at that for now! It's almost time for class."
The group glanced at their watches, then packed up their books and left the pavilion, heading towards the classroom.
After school in the afternoon, An Moxue left the school alone.
She didn't go home today. Instead, she received news that since the Lan Kingdom started some kind of cultural movement, some people have been using the banner of the cultural movement to collect money and then sell some antiques to several countries at low prices in order to make money. Today, An Moxue is going to investigate this line of events.
"Welcome!" An Moxue pushed open the door and entered. Immediately, a waiter came over and greeted her politely, "Miss, what would you like?"
An Moxue glanced at the waiter, then at the store, and said, "I'll look around by myself first, and call you if I need anything."
"Okay, Miss, please take your time looking around." After saying that, the waiter stepped aside and stopped following An Moxue.
An Moxue slowly browsed the shop, picking up a snuff bottle with a miniature carving of a fisherman fishing. It was made of ivory, very exquisite, and clearly a product of the Lan Kingdom.
The shop was full of trinkets, and An Moxue thought there must be other tricks to it.
Since this is your first time here, you shouldn't rush things, lest you arouse the suspicion of those behind the scenes.
She put down her snuff bottle, then seemed to take an interest in a jade screen. She looked at it for a long time, then shook her head and put it down with some disappointment.
She strolled around slowly, taking a few steps and picking up something to look at before putting it down again. Each time, it was clear she was looking at it very carefully, only to be disappointed in the end.
I wonder what she's looking at? She's looked through most of the store, but she still hasn't picked up a single item.
Although the waiter wasn't following her, he was constantly watching her movements. He felt that she was looking for something, and that she wasn't very satisfied with anything she saw in the store.
Finally, An Moxue carefully examined the items in the shop and discovered that most of the items should have come from Lan Kingdom, and judging from the classification of the items, they were not from the same place.
Finally, she took a bronze Guanyin statue and went to the waiter. Because the Guanyin's weight was wrong and its hands were reversed, she felt that there might be something hidden inside.
