The suitcase had a combination lock, but it couldn't stump Ming Yao.
After all, she used to be a special agent.
In no time, she cracked the lock.
Inside the suitcase were Liu Yun's old clothes.
Ming Yao examined each piece of clothing carefully.
Inside the pocket of a khaki jacket, Ming Yao found a light blue button.
Ming Yao quickly remembered that among her mother's belongings was a set of clothes in light blue.
Her grandmother told her that when her mother was pulled from the lake, she had been unclothed, and that light blue set of clothes was retrieved later.
Ming Yao's eyes darkened as she took out a transparent bag and put the button inside it.
She wore white gloves on her hands, so none of the things she touched would bear her fingerprints.
Ming Yao placed the suitcase back to its original spot.
As she left Liu Yun's room, ready to head downstairs,
suddenly, a man's voice came from the stairwell, "Fourth Master, this way, please."
Fourth Master?
