Chapter 288: Suspicion
Parking lot. The perimeter has been cordoned off.
In front of a black SUV, the faces of the Xie family gathered here were all very ugly.
In front of them were three rings that had turned black and yellow after being burned by the fire, and an emerald green emerald ring the size of a quail's egg.
Xie Qiling withdrew his gaze, looked at the people behind him, gritted his teeth and said, "Something is right." It is the iron ring of the old man and the ring of the elderly. ”
Undoubtedly, people really died.
Xie Jun slammed his fist on the car, making a loud "bang". His face was distorted, and he roared fiercely, "Who! Who did it!?"
"It doesn't make sense to say that now. Xie Qiling's eyes were gloomy and said, "Even Elder Zhang is dead." It can be seen how terrible our enemy is this time. It is imperative to report to the council immediately and ask for their support. If we can't get their help as soon as possible, I'm afraid that our Xie family will be this time..."
Hearing this, Xie Jun and the others subconsciously nodded. Xie Qiling was about to take out his mobile phone and dial out, but on the side, Xie Qingshi hurriedly held him down and said, "No, Uncle San, you can't notify the meeting!"
Xie Qiling frowned when he heard this: "Why?"
The rest of the people looked at him with puzzled expressions on their faces.
Xie Qingshi glanced around at everyone, and said with a very serious expression: "What is the situation in our family now? The second uncle died, the eldest uncle was also injured and admitted to the hospital, and the most important thing is that Zhang Lao Hou Lao also died. In this case, let's ask for help from the congregation. Maybe the current crisis can be resolved, but what about after that?"
"After that?" Xie Qiling didn't fully react for a while, but the faces of several people around him changed.
Xie Qingshi looked directly at him and said in a deep voice: "Third uncle, it is easy to please God and it is difficult to send God. Now that our Xie family has nothing to rely on, we really want to bring them in, how can we ensure that our family is not occupied by doves?"
Xie Qiling's body shook suddenly. He almost ignored such an important hidden danger.
Today's Hidden Dragon Society is no longer as pure as it was when it was first founded. Needless to say about the nature of an organization controlled by a group of businessmen?
No matter how to share resources, it is better for nine people to share it than to share it alone. If they could, who wouldn't want to take the entire Hidden Dragon Society into complete control of their own hands?
Force is not all that a family supports, but if you take the initiative to invite people into your own home. Then the initiative is no longer in your control, and then everything is not in the hands of others, but you have become a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others.
"But if we don't ask for help from the meeting, how can our Xie family get through this difficulty?"
Xie Qingshi said solemnly: "Third uncle, don't be misled by the situation in front of you. I don't think the opponent we're facing this time is really as strong as you think!"
"Huh?" Xie Qiling frowned and looked at him and said, "Qingshi, what did you find?"
His eyes swept over the faces of the people in front of him one by one, Xie Qingshi's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said in a deep voice: "If the other party can really kill Zhang Lao and Hou Lao with his own strength, why do you still use poisoning and car accidents, why don't you find a chance to attack directly? If he does it directly, the eldest uncle and the fifth uncle can still escape this time?"
Everyone's expressions were all stunned when they heard this, and a trace of fear flashed on Xie Jinyi's face. Obviously, the previous car accident gave him a lot of psychological shadows.
But Xie Qingshi didn't finish speaking, he continued: "In addition, I won't mention the matter of Elder Zhang and Hou Lao in Jiajun first. How did the other party poison the second uncle and Jiaming, and how did he know the route of the fifth uncle?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes changed. Xie Qiling and a few other elders were even more embarrassed.
"Do you suspect that someone inside our family did this?"
Xie Qingshi's face was gloomy and he said: "Since the other party chooses to use poisoning and car accidents, he will inevitably leave clues." It's not difficult to find out who did it, as long as you speed up and find out how the second uncle and Jiaming were poisoned, and what happened to Jiajun, the truth of the matter will basically come out. ”
There was no mention of the driver who caused the accident, because both were dead. Undoubtedly, the other party is a dead man who takes money to sell his life, and there is no need to continue chasing this line.
Xie Jinyi had a different opinion. He shook his head slowly, and asked the doubts in his heart: "If someone from the family did it." Why did he kill Zhang Lao and Hou Lao? What a loss this is for our Xie family, he has no reason not to know, right?"
A cold color flashed in his eyes, and Xie Qingshi said in a deep voice: "If he doesn't do this, how can we shift our suspicious eyes to outsiders?"
Xie Jinyi was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't expect that. But the truth seems to be true, just like yourself, don't you always put the object of suspicion on outsiders because of this?
"Besides, Zhang Lao is a seventh-rank martial artist, and he is a top master in the whole world. Xie Qingshi gritted his teeth and said: "Who can kill his old man in Los Angeles, our territory? In this regard, I prefer that the other party is poisoned, just like poisoning the second uncle and Jiaming!"
How strong the seven-rank martial artist is, everyone present is clear. At this level, it is impossible to kill unless the two sides of the same level fight for their lives with the determination to die, or use weapons of mass destruction. Especially since this is still Los Angeles, if Zhang Lao is determined to escape, who can stop him? They really can't think of anyone who can do this. Therefore, this speculation is undoubtedly more convincing.
"It doesn't have to be that complicated!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the crowd. Everyone immediately turned their heads to look at the person who spoke, and saw Xie Qiling's son Xie Yunsheng walking out, and said with a cold face: "If you want to know if this is done by someone inside our family, you just need to carefully sort out all the things that happened to the present, and then see who will be the biggest beneficiary." ”
Xie Jun subconsciously narrowed his eyes when he heard this, frowned and said, "Yunsheng, say what you want to say directly, there is no need to be weird." ”
"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point. Xie Yunsheng glanced at everyone and said coldly: "Now the second uncle is dead." Our Xie family is facing another huge crisis. The immediate priority is not to elect a new head of the house so that we can lead us through this difficult time?"
When everyone heard this, they were silent. It's not that no one thought of this problem, it's just that from early in the morning to now, major events have happened one after another, and all of them are huge "disasters" that the Xie family couldn't even think of in the past, so they didn't have time to discuss this issue at all.
Of course, everyone present is also aware. Xie Yunsheng's purpose in bringing up this topic at this time was definitely not to let everyone discuss who should be elected as the head of the house, everyone realized the meaning of his words.
The corner of his eye swept over the faces of everyone around him, and Xie Jun's face was slightly ugly: "Yunsheng, what do you want to say?"
"What do I want to say, Fourth Uncle, do you really not understand?" Looking directly at the other party without the slightest evasion, Xie Yunsheng said expressionlessly: "You can think about it carefully, who is in the accident now? There are so many people in our Xie family, why are others fine, but the eldest uncle, the second uncle, the fifth uncle, Jiaming and the family have an accident? Are they more vulnerable to attacks? No, absolutely not!"
"Now, we don't think about what the other person's purpose is. Let's just look at what our Xie family should do in this situation? The first thing to do is what I have already said, elect the head of the family! The second uncle and Jiaming are both dead, and according to this situation, who should take over? Everyone knows in their hearts that it is the eldest uncle! What is the result? Everyone knows just now. Uncle is still being treated, and it is estimated that he will not be able to leave the hospital in a few months. ”
Speaking of this, Xie Yunsheng turned around and swept his gaze at Xie Jinyi, whose eyes were cloudy, and Xie Qingshi, whose face was ugly. "We can't wait a few months for my uncle. So who is most likely to come next? It's Qingshi and the fifth uncle. Anyone with both is possible. But here's the problem. If the fifth uncle hadn't been lucky, he would have been the same as the uncle at this time. Of course, if it weren't for what happened to Jiajun, I might have doubted the fifth uncle. After all, it turns out that you're fine. But Jiajun's injuries are too serious, even if he is rescued, his legs are useless, and he will not be able to take over the position of head of the family in the future. I don't think the fifth uncle would sacrifice his son's future for himself, it makes no sense. ”
Speaking of this, Xie Yunsheng looked at Xie Jun's father and son, and said with sharp eyes: "If it wasn't an accident, and the fifth uncle was also injured and admitted to the hospital like the uncle, then Qingshi could naturally take over the position of head of the family." Even if it's only temporary, but with his ability, who will ask him to give up his position again in a few months? So, who do you say will benefit the most?"
After the words fell, everyone present turned their eyes to Xie Jun's father and son. There was a dead silence at the scene.
Xie Jun's face was ugly, because every look in the eyes of their father and son was full of suspicion. His fists clenched subconsciously, his chest rising and falling violently, and he felt his anger to the extreme. But just when he was about to break out, he was stopped by his son. Immediately, I heard him say in a calm tone: "What you said makes sense. But do you really think that if it were me, I would make things so obvious?"
The reason is very simple, this matter does not need to be reminded by Xie Yunsheng at all. As long as it is the Xie family, after calming down and thinking about it a little, they will naturally suspect Xie Qingshi.
Isn't it a clear question who benefits and who is behind the scenes?
If Xie Qingshi is really so stupid, can he become the actual second, nominal fourth family head candidate?
Xie Yunsheng smiled coldly and said, "But the truth is that you will benefit from this." Besides, as you just said, it is because of the simplicity that people are not easy to suspect you. Even if you have suspicions, you only need to explain lightly as you did just now, and you can clear your suspicions. So, at the end of the day, the scheme is not simple or complex. It's easy to use!"
"According to you, you are also not a small suspect. "Xie Jun couldn't bear it anymore. He pushed his son away, stepped forward to face Xie Yunsheng, and said word by word: "Now everyone is suspicious of Qingshi. In this case, it is impossible for him to take over the position of head of the family. And according to you, if the fifth is not lucky but only slightly injured, then who is more likely to take over this position next?"
Speaking of this, he glanced at Xie Qiling coldly, then returned his gaze to his nephew, and said coldly: "It seems that only the third brother and you are left." ”
