"Have you found evidence?" Jin Kui couldn't believe that there was really such evidence.

"Of course!"

Shan Li looked at his expression and knew that Jin Kui would never believe him unless this evidence appeared.

He raised his hand to signal, and Feng Er, who had been waiting on the side, hurried forward.

After bowing, he swiftly took out a testimony from his pocket.

"This is the testimony of the maid who sweeps Mr. Jin's yard and the gatekeeper. It has her signature and seal."

As he said this, he brought the things in front of the golden box.

Jin Kui took the testimony and began to read it, but the more he read, the more furrowed his brows became.

When Feng Er saw that he had finished reading it, he quickly took the testimony back and handed it to Song Qingci.

"Mr. Jin, you've read the testimony. Do you have any questions? Feel free to ask. I have not only the signed testimony in my hands, but the person is also being held in the woodshed. If you'd like to ask him in person, that's fine."

After saying that, he gave Feng Yi a look, Feng Yi understood it in a second and turned away.

After a while, Feng Yi came back with a maid and two servants.

As soon as the maids and servants arrived at Chixiao Courtyard, they kowtowed in a hurry.

Looking at the situation before him, Jin Kui couldn't help but ask the servant in front, "Why do you say Su Wen's whereabouts are unknown?! She has always been doing her job well, either in her own courtyard or in the pharmacy. When did she disappear?"

The servant who was questioned did not feel guilty at all when facing the golden box.

He shouted directly, "Miss Jin is missing!"

"She was indeed fine before, but seven days ago, I saw her leave the yard with my own eyes, but she didn't go towards the pharmacy."

Mr. Jin and Jin Suwen's activities in the General's Mansion are actually very fixed.

Basically it's a straight line between three points.

Either in Chixiao Courtyard, in the pharmacy, or in their own courtyard.

Occasionally, when I go somewhere else, I always have other people to accompany me.

But it happened that this servant was guarding the gate that day, and he saw with his own eyes that after Jin Suwen went out alone, he did not walk towards the pharmacy, but walked in the opposite direction.

He felt a little strange at the time, but the other party was a distinguished guest of the general's mansion and nothing serious had happened at the time, so he didn't say anything.

"What we said is true," another servant chimed in. "I saw it too. I was on shift change with him that day. Although I didn't see Miss Jin leave, I saw her come back with my own eyes. She didn't go back to the pharmacy, but to the lotus pond in the backyard."

These two servants actually thought similarly.

As for the distinguished guests in the mansion, no one had previously ordered them not to go anywhere. It was just that Mr. and Miss Jin were usually very well-behaved and rarely went anywhere else, so they kept silent.

Who knew that the major general suddenly wanted to check Miss Jin's whereabouts.

They were just doing their job honestly and never expected to be imprisoned in the end.

Fortunately, they were locked up only to inquire about the whereabouts of Mr. Jin and Miss Jin. They told the truth, so they were not tortured.

Just restricted freedom.

"Major General, could it be that this old man and my granddaughter are prisoners in this general's mansion? We can't even go to the lotus pond?"

Jinkui is still arguing.

I don’t understand why a trip to the lotus pond would mean his whereabouts are unknown.

Is the lotus pond in the general's mansion a forbidden area?

"Mr. Jin, you've misunderstood. You're certainly not a criminal, and the lotus pond is accessible. But isn't Mr. Jin curious about why Miss Jin would go to the lotus pond, a place she doesn't usually visit, for no apparent reason?"

Without giving Jin Kui any chance to continue speaking, Shan Li raised his chin and signaled the kneeling maid to speak.

"I am just an ordinary maid who sweeps the yard of Mr. Jin's daughter. Mr. Jin doesn't like too many people in the yard, so I occasionally help them tidy up the room."

"That day, just as I was about to go into the house to tidy it up, Miss Jin stopped me. She said she didn't need my help today and told me to leave immediately."

"I didn't think much of it at the time. I just thought I could do less work today. Later, I saw Miss Jin hurriedly leaving the house with a small bag of something she didn't know what it was. When she came back, the thing she was holding was gone."

"The day you saw her hurrying out with her things, was it the day they said she was going to the lotus pond?"

Shan Li asked while looking at the golden box deliberately.

The maid nodded, "Yes, that day."
