Through their brief exchange, Zeng Anmin gained a basic understanding of the young man before him, Shen Jun.
Following normal logic, his deceased uncle, Shen Liu, had no heirs. This meant Shen Jun was the sole legal heir of the merchant Shen Mansion. He didn't have to do a thing; he just needed to follow the natural progression of events to take over the Jin Taiping fleet and become the wealthiest man in Liangjiang Commandery. There was absolutely no logical or emotional reason for him to murder his aunt in front of the mourning hall.
After being seduced by his aunt... he went to the Imperial Music Bureau. This was a hot-blooded young man.
Moreover, during their conversation, the man spoke clearly and fluently. If he hadn't meticulously planned this out in his head beforehand, then it proved he wasn't lying. But if it was meticulously planned... how could someone with that level of intelligence run off to the Imperial Music Bureau right after committing a murder?
