The two sat facing each other at the table.
Tang Huai took out the ring and handed it to Jing Xuan.
As soon as Jing Xuan saw it, he seemed to guess the crux of the matter.
He didn't take the ring but looked at Tang Huai and asked, "Found at the fire scene?"
"Yes. While you went to call the mayor and Peng Dong, Jiajia and I searched behind the kitchen and found it in that pile of unrecognizable burnt firewood."
"Its owner is the real murderer?"
"Yes. I believe Peng Ca's words. She only brought the kerosene to the back of the kitchen but didn't start the fire. I went to the bamboo grove behind and found traces of high heels. The person who set the fire is a woman, and specifically, a woman who usually wears high heels."
Jing Xuan raised his lips, "Since you knew the fire wasn't set by Peng Ca, why didn't you mention the ring in front of the mayor?"
"Look at these." Tang Huai took out the pieces of paper he had found and showed them to Jing Xuan.
