"In that case, let's go down and take a look," Xiao Ran suggested.

“Okay.” Pei Yun had just finished replying and was about to climb into the well, but before he could make a move, he felt a resistance.

He turned around and saw Miss Xiao smilingly tugging at the hem of his clothes.

"You stay."

Xiao Ran said, then pointed to Jiang Shaorong standing to the side.

"He'll go."

"Why? I've been familiar with all kinds of detective books since I was a child, and I know all kinds of detective methods. My family has also done their best to cultivate me. Logically speaking, I am the most suitable candidate." Pei Yun was puzzled and frowned.

"Don't you know what Jiang Lushi is talking about?" Xiao Ran stared at Jiang Shaorong and asked.

Jiang Shaorong cupped his hands in greeting, but remained silent.

The meaning is clear: he will.

He certainly could. In her past life, Xiao Ran was well aware of his skillful methods and meticulous thinking.

"That's not the most important thing, it's Miss Chen." Xiao Ran smiled at Chen Zijing and said, "Let him stay here—"

"I'm worried."

Jiang Shaorong's gesture of cupping his hands froze.

Pei Yun glanced at Chen Zijin and sighed, "Never mind, I believe Registrar Jiang can handle this small matter."

“Then—Recorder Jiang.” Xiao Ran picked up the stone tied with the rope and threw it into the bottomless well.

"please."

As Xiao Ran finished speaking, the stone with the rope wrapped around it fell to the bottom of the well, splashing water and making a loud noise.

Jiang Shaorong smiled and said, "To gain Miss Xiao's approval is my greatest fortune."

After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves, took the rope from Xiao Ran's hand, climbed up to the well opening, and jumped down.

After that, no one spoke.

Xiao Ran felt a little depressed. She walked to the well and lowered her voice to speak to Duan Li beside her.

"Let's go down."

Duan Li seemed to sense Xiao Ran's displeasure and stopped her from jumping in. "I'll go first, Ran will follow."

Xiao Ran only came to her senses after the long, tied-up hair had completely disappeared into the well.

Yes, how could she be so soft-hearted?

Isn't Jiang Shaorong used to putting on this act?

In his past life, he could always use the gentlest tone to say the most ruthless and irresistible words.

She's been fooled countless times already, is she going to be fooled by this hypocritical act again?

"Sister Xiao? What's wrong?" Chen Zijing asked, worried when she saw that Xiao Ran was not in a good mood.

"It's nothing. I was just thinking about some disgusting things," Xiao Ran replied, then jumped into the well.

……

The rope was fairly secure, and Xiao Ran slowly descended along the well wall. It turned out that there was a hidden door above the bottomless well water.

She carefully climbed in, but after a while, she found herself on a very deep platform below.

"Aran, I'll catch you."

Just as she was wondering how to proceed, she heard Duan Li's deep voice.

Looking up, Duan Li slowly walked over and extended his hand.

Suddenly another hand reached out, accompanied by a jogging pace.

"Let Jiang do it. It seems that Officer Duan was injured when he went into the well."

Duan Li glanced at Jiang Shaorong, then lowered her eyes, her hand slowly retracting.

But just then, he felt a warmth; it was Xiao Ran who had tightly grasped his hand and jumped down.

"Where are you hurt? How serious is it? Does it hurt?" Xiao Ran asked anxiously as soon as she landed.

Jiang Shaorong's gaze was still fixed on the narrow opening above, obscured by weeds, but he slowly withdrew his hand.

He closed his eyes briefly, but a sly smile appeared on his lips.

"Miss Xiao, why are you so dissatisfied with me, Jiang?"
