Hearing such a detail, Xiao Jiang and Jennie were excited.
Mother Sun said, "I felt that the pen was still in good condition. My
granddaughter, Lele, usually used it to read English, and it has no
other use. What's the point of buying a new one?" "Hence, I returned it
to Lele."
Jennie's heart jumped in her throat and asked, "Where's Lele?"
"Did she take the pen with her?"
Mother Sun looked at the mess in the house and sighed. "So much has
been happening at home, and I couldn't help but send Lele to her
maternal grandmother to stay away for a few days." "She might have
taken it with her as she reads English every day..."
Xiao Jiang asked a few more questions again, but Jennie's
attention was on the reading pen.
Coming out from the Sun family's house, Xiao Jiang informed Chaeyoung the result of the investigation and mentioned the reading
pen.
"Jennie, how did you think of asking that question after hearing
about Sun Xu's job?"
Xiao Jiang was becoming increasingly curious of Jennie. She was
only a junior reporter, but her mind was so meticulous that she could
totally become a detective.
Sun Xu's unusual request for the mother to keep the pen meant that
there must be something about it.
"Mother Sun said that Sun Xu worked at a sophisticated place hence
it's inevitable that he might have come into contact with some of the
dignitaries, and those people often looked down on the waiters. Maybe
they had discussed about something after getting drunk, and it was
overheard by Sun Xu."
As Jennie explained, Xiao Jiang's eyes lightened up, and he felt
that it made sense. "The topic Sun Xu was interested in would most
likely be related to his brother's pension?"
Jennie smiled, "I'm not sure actually. It's just my speculation. I'm
not a police officer. You guys would need evidence for the case, but I
only need to make an assumption hence I could over think situations
to explore more possibilities."
Chaeyoung laughed. "It's good to over think. What's worse is not
thinking at all." "However, what you've just said is right. Imagination
alone won't work. We need evidence."
"How did it cross your mind that Sun Xu might have passed something
to his mother?"
This was Xiao Jiang's first time here. The Sun family was having a
funeral for their Old Master, hence everything was quite chaotic, and
he did not have much idea on how to obtain a testimony. However, Jennie had managed to get a clue just like that, hence he was
naturally curious about Jennie's thought processes.
