Capítulo 1425: Chapter 1425: Cat Theft (Part 3)
Turning around, Duan Qirui said something to him, then left the hospital first, giving Feng Nianian a deliberate glance before he left.
Duan Qianyang had rarely stayed at the Duan Family home these past few years, spending most of his time living away. When he returned to the Duan Family home, the blood from when the old master fell down the stairs had been cleaned meticulously, leaving no trace.
The one taking care of the old master at the Duan Family home was the butler Li, an elder at the Duan Family.
Duan Qianyang called the butler Li into the study alone, earnestly inquiring about the events of the entire day.
As the butler Li recounted, Duan Qianyang’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
From the butler Li’s account, it was clear that since they were going to recognize Xiu Xi again, the old master’s mood had actually been very good recently. He ate well and slept well every day, and his condition was excellent.
Perhaps because he was really in such a good mood, he uncommonly thought about his daughter and called Duan Sishu to come and stay for a few days.
Since Feng Jin’s death, Duan Sishu had been in poor condition and didn’t want to leave the small home she and Feng Jin had shared. She lived each day clinging to past memories.
She originally wanted to refuse, but Feng Nianian, who was by her side, expressed a desire to go to the Duan Family.
The more Duan Sishu loved Feng Jin, the more she loved this only daughter, especially now with her son gone and her husband gone, this daughter was her only emotional support.
When Feng Nianian expressed her desire to go to the Duan Family, she immediately packed up her things and went to the Duan Family.
They went over at noon and even accompanied the old master for lunch. The atmosphere at the dining table was harmonious, and after lunch, Duan Sishu pushed the old master outside for a short walk.
After returning, the old master began to rest. During his afternoon nap, which usually lasted two hours, the butler Li would typically attend to other matters.
But who would have thought that on this particular day, when everything had always been fine before, something happened within those two hours of his nap. Furthermore, he had fallen down the stairs from the second floor.
Afterwards, he inquired with the other servants in the house, asking who had taken the old master upstairs, but none admitted to doing so. After the old master’s stroke, he was not easy-going, and most servants avoided him, let alone taking him upstairs.
The servants all claimed they hadn’t done it, meaning that in the afternoon, only Duan Sishu and Feng Nianian were in the villa.
But how could Duan Sishu, delicate and frail, with no strength to even tie up a chicken, possibly carry the old master upstairs?
And Feng Nianian, a girl barely into her teens, was even more unlikely.
Thus, in the eyes of the Duan Family servants, it was utterly baffling, even eerie, that the old master suddenly fell down from the second floor.
After hearing the butler Li’s account, Duan Qianyang’s eyes turned cold.
Given the current situation, all suspicions pointed toward Feng Nianian.
After Xiu Xi’s warning, he didn’t take any precautions. He hadn’t even actively invited Duan Sishu to come and stay but had instead assigned several servants to take care of the mother and daughter, just in case.
Yet unexpectedly, it wasn’t Duan Xin who got into trouble; it was the old master.
Duan Qianyang simply couldn’t understand why, if all the cases he investigated and the old master’s matter were indeed committed by such a young girl like Feng Nianian, what was her motive? How could such a young girl be so vicious as to want to kill all her blood relatives?
