Searching wastes time.
After waiting for half an hour, Manager Li finally returned.
He was holding a brocade box, and two old women were bringing a maid in.
The maid was evidently Xie Jinyu's close personal maid.
One of the women kicked her leg, and the maid fell to the ground with a thud.
The sound was so loud that it made people's knees ache.
After leaving the main hall, Manager Li took some people to search around, focusing on Peony Garden, followed by the rooms of Xie Jinyu and Xie Jingchuan.
They searched everywhere but couldn't find anything.
However, Xique's keen eyes noticed when Su Jin mentioned the Short Flute, Xie Jinyu's maid ran indoors.
Manager Li remembered that when he brought people into the room to search, Xie Jinyu's maid was standing at the window.
He glanced out the window.
Good heavens.
A brocade box had been thrown outside the window.
If you weren't paying attention, you would truly miss it, as no one would look outside the window.
