Of course, Jian Xingzhi's arrangements were more than just this. If he didn't tie up Fuji Mikako's energy, he wouldn't be able to conjure up Xiao An's body for them to examine.

Sure enough, Shen Wenjiao was standing not far away and before she could go forward to comfort Fuji Mikako, Xiao Lei had already arrived in a hurry with a group of people full of hostility.

As soon as Xiao Lei arrived, he heard Jian Xingzhi's words, and then immediately fired at Fuji Mikako in a very aggressive tone.

"Did you do it? That is our Xiao family's property. Even if you..." Old Man Xiao passed away too suddenly. Xiao Lei suddenly realized some things. He felt that he had no face to compete for the Xiao family's property. He also knew everything about Xiao An taking over, so he didn't say anything.

But who is Fuji Mikako? How could she have the nerve to covet the Xiao family's assets? Fuji Mikako has been very active recently, almost without any concealment. Even if Xiao Lei doesn't care much about the Xiao family's affairs, he has heard about it.

In his eyes, Xiao An's accident must have been caused by the vicious woman Fuji Mikako, including the death of his father, Grandpa Xiao. Xiao Lei has always kept his suspicious eyes on Fuji Mikako.

"Bakayaloo~ How could it be me who did this? I think it was you who did it. You are not willing to accept that the Xiao family will fall into the hands of my husband and me in the future, so you will take revenge."

As Xiao Lei and Fuji Mikako quarreled and suspected each other, no one on either side, including the outside world, paid attention to the circumstances of Xiao An's death. Instead, the focus was on speculating and discussing who killed Xiao An.

"If you ask me, it must be that Japanese woman. Look, now she has become a famous wealthy widow in Shanghai. How can you say it wasn't her who did it? She made a lot of money, but she hasn't given the child to him yet. Maybe there are many people waiting for her to remarry now!"

"That's not necessarily the case. Maybe it was Inspector Xiao. In my opinion, Mr. Xiao's death was suspicious. Maybe this was revenge." The man who spoke didn't say it clearly, but from the way he made eyes, everyone who should understand understood.

Generally speaking, the overall public opinion is more inclined towards Xiao Lei. As the name of a human shadow tree, Xiao Lei's reputation is much better than that of Fuji Mikako.

Although public opinion is in favor of Xiao Lei, his family knows their own business, and most members of the Xiao family still do not stand on his side.

Xiao Lei came to Jian Xingzhi looking very depressed and a bit embarrassed.

When Shen Wenjiao opened the door, she looked at Xiao Lei, who seemed to have aged more than ten years in just one month, and felt a little sorry in her heart.

"Brother Jian is in the study. I'll go make you some tea."

"Thank you~ Sorry to bother you, but it's just this once~" Xiao Lei said the last sentence very quietly, the sadness and reluctance in it were beyond words.

Shen Wenjiao had sharp ears, so she naturally heard it. Just this time, could it be that this guy was going to leave or had other plans?

"Xingzhi, you believe that I didn't kill Xiao An, right?" Xiao Lei looked straight at Jian Xingzhi. His life had changed a lot recently. People left him and they became distant. After his father left, the people around him changed their attitudes quickly. There were also people who tried to please him in the past but are now taking advantage of him. All of these made him very flustered for a while.

Now Xiao An’s death and the suspicion of his tribe members have made his situation even worse.

Only Jian Xingzhi's attitude towards him has not changed at all over the years.

Jian Xingzhi: Is it possible that you have always been the one who is more enthusiastic about our relationship?

"Well, it shouldn't be you. You said you wouldn't fight for the family property if your opponent was Xiao An."

Yes, it wasn't you who did it. Xiao An asked for death.

Jian Xingzhi's affirmation almost made Xiao Lei cry. Even if the people around him said they believed him, there was always some doubt and scrutiny in their eyes. Xiao Lei had been a detective in the police station for so many years, and he was not only relying on his family background, but also had some skills of his own.

"It's not me. I never had the mind to argue about these things."

It wasn't because he had no interest before, but now he doesn't have the face to do it after knowing his father's identity. Yes, when Xiao Lei knew that he was not a descendant of the Xiao family, he gave up.

Xiao Lei grew up as a Chinese, and Old Master Xiao never told him the truth, so he instinctively disliked the Japanese who invaded his country. When he first learned that not only Old Master Xiao was Japanese, but he was also Japanese, he almost got so angry that he killed his own relatives.

But that was his father, the biological father who had loved and cared for him since he was a child. How could Xiao Lei do that? He was also a normal person with emotions. Putting aside the interests of the country, his father really treated him with all his heart.

"Xingzhi, I'm leaving Shanghai." Xiao Lei hesitated again when he thought of the Japanese who contacted him, but Fuji Mikako's recent relentless pressure had left him no chance of staying.

Xiao Lei was worried that if he continued to stay in Shanghai, he would most likely follow in Xiao An's footsteps. Although he struggled with his identity, he still wanted to live.

"It's good to leave. I wonder where you are going?" Jian Xingzhi thought of the news Xiao An told him. Old man Xiao has saved a lot of things and funds over the years. I just don't know if Xiao Lei has any clues.

Before Xiao An left, he said that if Jian Xingzhi had the ability to find it, he would donate it to the Red Army as military expenses. Jian Xingzhi was really not interested at all. Xiao Lei just happened to be there, and he would be guilty if he didn't ask a few more questions.

Oh, what a waste of opportunity.

Xiao Lei: Really, I am connected with you in every way, you and I should use our brains!

"I don't know either. Anyway, there is a high possibility that I won't come back in the future~" Although Xiao Lei did not admit it, once he left with the Japanese who came to find him, he would no longer be Xiao Lei of the Xiao family.

"Really? When are we leaving? Maybe you can write to me when you get there." Jian Xingzhi always had a somewhat cold attitude towards Xiao Lei, without any strong purpose. This was the reason why Xiao Lei trusted him very much.

"Okay, if there's a chance~"

Xiao Lei smiled bitterly, then changed the subject and talked about other miscellaneous things. Especially the faces of the Xiao family, Xiao Lei talked about them the most.

Jian Xingzhi had been listening quietly, just like he had done in the past, occasionally interjecting and slightly guiding Xiao Lei's words, unraveling the information he wanted from them.

"By the way, I was in a hurry this time, and I didn't want to give some of these things away cheaply, so I gave them all to you. They're nothing valuable, just some books. I remember your wife, Mrs. Jane, loves all kinds of books the most."

Before leaving, Xiao Lei left a big gift for Shen Wenjiao. You know, some books are hard to buy on the market.
