"What is this?" the wealthy businessman asked in confusion.

Qin Feng handed the jade pendant to the wealthy businessman: "Maybe this will be some clues. Do you know anything about this jade pendant?"

The wealthy businessman took the jade pendant and his expression became solemn: "This is a family heirloom jade pendant. Why does it appear here?"

Qin Feng left the wealthy merchant's mansion behind, and he thought about the origin of this jade pendant. He felt that this seemed to be more than just a sudden cerebral hemorrhage case, there might be more behind it.

He decided to go to the place where the servant once lived, maybe he could find some clues. When he arrived, the room was slightly cluttered, as if someone had been searching. He started looking into the room and found a torn letter.

"If you disobey, be prepared to suffer the consequences," the letter read.

Qin Feng frowned, which was a threatening tone. He suspected that someone might have targeted the servant, but the motive and the truth remained elusive. He decided to keep the letter, maybe he could solve the mystery later.

Then, Qin Feng visited the neighbors around the servant, trying to learn more about the situation. The neighbors spoke highly of the servant, calling him a hard-working and honest man.

However, during his visit, he noticed that one of his neighbors was acting strangely. The neighbor was an older woman. She looked a little nervous and seemed hesitant when answering Qin Feng's questions.

"Do you know anything about what's going on nearby? Have you noticed anything strange?" Qin Feng asked tentatively.

The woman shook her head in a panic: "No, nothing special."

Qin Feng had some doubts in his heart, but he did not press for more questions. He sensed that the woman seemed to know more, but he decided to reserve observation for now, knowing that sometimes patience yielded more information.

The next day, Qin Feng decided to conduct further investigation into the situation of the wealthy merchants. He began questioning the wealthy businessman's family members and servant colleagues, hoping to find some clues.

He first found the servant's colleague, a young man named Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming described the situation of his servant during his lifetime. He said: "He was usually very honest and never had any grudges with others. But recently, something seemed wrong with him and he was often mysterious."

Qin Feng thought deeply, maybe the servant did have some secrets. He also found the wealthy businessman's family and asked about some of the servant's behavior during his lifetime. The family unanimously praised the servant for his loyalty and diligence.

However, Qin Feng noticed that the wealthy businessman's wife looked a little erratic and seemed to be hiding something. He decided to continue asking: "Did you notice anything unusual about your husband's last days?"

The wealthy businessman's wife was silent for a moment, and then said: "He has indeed been suffering from insomnia recently, tossing and turning all night long, as if something is struggling in his mind."

This made Qin Feng even more alert. He examined the jade pendant again, thinking about the clues in it. The broken jade pendant may not be accidental, maybe the servant is trying to protect some secrets.

While searching the servant's room, Qin Feng noticed a seemingly ordinary diary. He opened the diary and found it covered with the servant's handwriting.

He began to read. The servant's diary records the trivial matters in life and difficulties at work, but gradually some strange descriptions emerge. The servant mentioned the unsettling presence of a stranger near their home multiple times.

"This man always appears in the dark and hides. I'm a little scared. I don't know what he wants to do."

Qin Feng's eyes were solemn and he continued to read. The servant's diary also wrote about the jade pendant, which seemed to be related to this stranger. The servant calls the jade pendant "the key".

"The stranger seemed to be very interested in the jade pendant. He kept trying to get it. I don't know what is so special about this jade pendant."

Qin Feng felt more and more that things were not simple. He realized that the servant was involved in a mysterious incident, and these seemed to be related to this jade pendant.

He remembered that the wealthy businessman's wife had something to hide. Maybe she knew the truth about the jade pendant. He decided to find the wealthy businessman's wife again to see if he could get more information.

Qin Feng came to the wealthy businessman's mansion. The wealthy businessman's wife was busy sorting out the clutter at home, with a somewhat conflicted look on her face.

"Mrs. Rich Merchant, I have something I need to ask you again. I hope you can tell me the truth." Qin Feng said sincerely.

The wealthy businessman's wife nodded slightly hesitantly: "Excuse me, what's the matter?"

Qin Feng's expression was serious: "Do you know the origin of this jade pendant? There are some things mentioned in the servant's diary that seem to be related to this jade pendant."

The rich businessman's wife's expression changed, she bit her lip and fell into silence. Finally, she revealed the truth: "This jade pendant once belonged to my husband, and he has always cherished it. However, a stranger found him some time ago and claimed that this jade pendant was related to his family. My husband began to have doubts. , I’m worried that this jade pendant may involve some unknown things.”

Qin Feng took a deep breath: "Who is this stranger? How many times has he found your husband?"

The wealthy businessman's wife thought for a while: "He claimed to be an antique collector and found my husband twice. The first time was on the street, and the second time was in front of our house."

Qin Feng frowned: "Did he threaten or blackmail your husband?"

The wealthy businessman's wife shook her head: "No, he seems to just want to persuade my husband to hand over the jade pendant."

Qin Feng thought about it, and the truth of the matter seemed more complicated and confusing. He thanked the wealthy merchant's wife and left the mansion. He decided to find this strange antique collector, and perhaps he could find more clues from him. Things are getting more and more complicated,

Qin Feng's life was very fulfilling. He was learning pastry skills while researching and innovating. He is always trying different recipes and fillings in pursuit of the perfect texture and deliciousness.

As time passed, Qin Feng slowly grew into an excellent pastry apprentice. His unique insights and innovations in pastry techniques began to be recognized by others. People were amazed when they tasted the pastries he made.

As time went by, Qin Feng became a high-profile pastry master. His pastry shop is doing a booming business and people come here to see it. He has conquered countless diners with his unique creativity and superb skills.
