As soon as Xie Xiu and others walked out, they were stopped by a well-dressed man.

"Did you use any incense just now? I seem to smell a particularly pleasant fragrance. What is that incense? Where did you buy it? I want to buy some too!"

Xie Xiu smiled slightly and said naturally, "I didn't buy it from outside, I just made some incense pills.

Unfortunately, the raw materials are too rare. I only got a small piece by chance and experimented many times before I got a satisfactory taste.

If it weren't for the foul smell that hit me earlier, I wouldn't have been willing to use the incense pill."

After saying this, he shook his head with regret, and walked away with the child in his arms, feeling very distressed.

The man didn't feel comfortable stopping them anymore, so he quietly stepped aside and watched Xie Xiu and the others leave.

When the figures of Xie Xiu and the others disappeared around the corner, the door of the private room next door suddenly opened, and a man in black walked out.

The man who had just stopped Xie Xiu from asking questions walked up to him and reported quietly, "It sounds like there's nothing wrong. I never thought Xie Xiu had the ability to make perfume."

"Go in and take a look."

The man in black said this lightly, and strode into the private room previously used by Xie Xiu. He sniffed carefully inside and checked the incense burner.

There was still some ashes in the incense burner, but it had been processed and nothing could be seen now.

The smell in the room had long since dissipated, leaving nothing behind.

The man in black picked up the incense burner and smelled it carefully, and felt something was wrong: if the incense ball had been burned in the incense burner, there should be residual fragrance on the incense burner.

Could it be that what Xie Xiu used was not a scent pill, but a scented lotion?

Then why did he lie?

The subordinates carefully checked the private room, but found nothing suspicious.

Seeing the black-clad man's face full of suspicion, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you suspicious about, sir? Is there something wrong with that fragrance?"

"That smell is a bit peculiar, like some rich floral scent. But there are only some bonsai trees here, and those people didn't bring any flowers, so it can only be some special incense.

But spices were expensive, and specially prepared incense was even more valuable than gold. The Tu family was just a small country landlord and could not possibly afford Xie Xiu's lavish purchase of spices.

How could he have such a special incense in his hand? If he really had mixed the incense pills himself, it would mean that he was an expert in perfumery and probably also had some knowledge of pharmacology.

If that's the case, how could Xu poison someone so easily?"

The subordinate was shocked: "Are you suspecting... that Xu didn't poison anyone, and that Xie Xiu is making a false accusation?"

The man in black chuckled sarcastically, "Whether Xu poisoned someone or not is none of my business. She offended that person, and even if she was wrongly accused, it's just bad luck. I'm just curious, how capable is Xie Xiu?"

The subordinate secretly studied his expression and tentatively asked, "Then... shall I check on him right away?"

"Go ahead, but be careful and don't let him find out."

"I obey my orders!"

The subordinate quickly took the order and left.

After he left, the man in black stood at the window, looking down at the street below, recalling how Xu's prison van passed by here.

Xie Xiu was standing here watching at that time, right?

Oh, he should be holding a child in his arms.

This man was lucky. After being missing for eleven years, he not only settled down in the countryside, but also had two sons and two daughters.

It really makes people jealous of this guy's luck.

It’s a pity that his good luck has probably run out.

Once Xie Xiu's identity is exposed, he will no longer have the good luck he had before.

Who made him a thorn in the eyes and flesh of others, making people want to get rid of him as soon as possible?

He was just entrusted by someone, so Xie Xiu couldn't blame him.

The man in black smiled strangely, turned around and strode out of the private room.

A transparent thread hung down from the door frame, and the moment he walked out of the private room, it buried a seed as fine as dust into his hair.
