I spent a full two hours in the information room before someone came in and asked me. To be honest, I was accustomed to Jiang Zuoyi's convenience of helping me with the green light everywhere, and I thought that this time I would be able to see the pot-bellied Director Li come in with a smile and say 'misunderstanding, misunderstanding'.

The police officer in charge of the transcript was in his 40s and did not speak or act in a manner that was arrogant. In terms of aura, I believe that even Jiang Zuoyi can't break his iron-faced selflessness.

But I'm not nervous or scared at all, because I don't have a ghost in my heart.

But I can't be completely at ease, because I can guess that my father's death has something else to hide, but I don't want to face it.

I really want to suppress the whole thing, and while protecting Jiang Zuoyi, I am also protecting our precarious love.

The only thing I didn't expect was that Shu Yan's move was not on the dead Ling Nan, not on the mysterious Jiang Zuoyi, but on me!

I said Mr. Officer, I didn't kill my father. I can't explain all the unnecessary slanders. Whoever controls the quality and who adduces evidence, I still understand this point.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, it's not uncommon for my father's bones to be cold, and my children are intriguing for property. I admit that my relationship with my sister is not good, but it is unreasonable and illegal to charge me with such a big crime. ”

I'm not defending myself, I just don't want to waste time on this kind of thing.

In my eyes, what Shu Yan did today is like smashing someone's glass if he can't win, and it's completely a child's childish behavior.

She said that if I kill someone, I will go to jail? It's too whimsical.

At this time, I heard from the police officer that Ye Jinliang was already outside, and he may have helped me find a lawyer.

"Ms. Shu Lan, do you want to remain silent and wait for the lawyer to come and talk, or do you want to cooperate with us to make a confession first?"

I said you ask.

"Okay, first of all, I want to inform you of the results of the autopsy report on my father, Shu Zhongshan." The police officer raised his head solemnly and pushed a document in front of me in front of me: "After being examined by a forensic authority designated by the prosecution's lawyer, Shu Zhongshan did die of acute cor pulmonale. The cause of acute pulmonary heart disease cannot be ruled out that some foods ingested in recent days contain substances that can trigger a sudden rise in paraamine lymphamine hormone.

Because his blood sugar has always been close to the threshold of diabetes, in order to control the index, he deliberately replaced the monosaccharide polysaccharide with a sweetener similar to xylitol in his diet.

You know that, right? ”

I said I knew, but so what! First of all, you should understand that my father has been in prison for four years, and he is not taking care of him. I just want to poison him, and I don't have this chance, okay!

"But in the month or so before he died, you visited him three times, and each time you brought the same cake from the designated store.

We analyzed it through surveillance footage and combined with facts, and if the first time was because of your father's birthday, it is understandable. So why did you buy this cake for the next two times?

You know he rarely eats sweets—"

I couldn't calm down at that time, and I almost stood up when I slapped the table, but the two trainee policemen came up and held me down, saying that I should calm down.

"Officer, do you think that I deliberately brought cake to my dad to make him have a malignant heart attack caused by an increased blood sugar load?

But I can tell you responsibly that I bring snacks every time because I always talk to him on the phone before I make an appointment for a visit. When asked what he wanted to eat, he made his own request. ”

I said that the phones in the prison are all monitored, and you can investigate my conversations with my dad word for word.

Although I knew that my father didn't eat much sweets before, the prison food was monotonous after all. At his age, he has no desires and no desires, and will I not be satisfied with the occasional small request? He is not diabetic in the real sense, and I am a daughter, even if there is a mistake, it can't be concluded as a deliberate murder!

"So, that's the cleverness of your behavior, in order to get rid of the suspicion of your own subjective motives, and let your father take the initiative to ask for exoneration.

However, during your father's hospitalization, there was a very obvious serum marker that showed that his ESR rate was only one-third of normal.

Combined with the detached state of nerve cells after the autopsy, it can basically be determined that he had ingested a certain amount of drug addiction during the period before his onset. ”

"You're saying someone gave him poison...... Product? ”

"That's for you." The officer's eyes were still sharp: "It can make a person who is not usually interested in certain foods suddenly change the appetite of his taste buds—"

I said as you say, it's like I added an addictive drug to my father's cake, which I bought in the store! From making to boxing, I haven't even touched it!

"Mr. Officer, your explanation is far-fetched, and—"

"Which store did you send the cake?"

"Yes......"

I was stunned all of a sudden, didn't I buy it for the first time?

Later, I happened to see this similar red raspberry light cheesecake in the pudding shop that Jiang Zuoyi introduced to me......

That first time, it was my father's birthday.

I racked my brain to think about it, why did the face in front of me suddenly flash clearly and vaguely?

I wanted to forget the memories that I wanted to fade, but in an instant they became clearer than nightmares.

The first cake was prepared by Jiang Zuoyi for me.

The events of that day were so embarrassing that I should have remembered them vividly. Not only did I meet Ye Jinliang and Shu Yan's family, but my father also told me that he would leave all the shares in his hand to his youngest son.

"Ms. Shu Lan, if what is shown on the surveillance video is correct, you actually broke up unhappily on your father's birthday." The officer raised a stern brow, and his eyes were blazing: "You quarreled with your father because he didn't want to leave you the shares." You could have stopped him from eating cake that might be harmful to his body, but you didn't-"

"It's all your speculation, I ......" I admit that I was distracted and could no longer fight the officer in front of me. It's not because I'm a thief, it's because I'm ...... I was really scared.

I've imagined countless times that the person who poisoned my father in such a high-end and secret way would it be Ling Nan who was in prison?

He's so perverted and so awesome, since he has made up his mind that he wants my father to die, there are a thousand ways to do it.

But I never dared to think that they would let me deliver the deadly poison to my father with my own hands.

The first cake was given by Jiang Zuoyi......

I said Mr. Officer, I don't want to say anything. Please let me see my bail officer and lawyer, I am innocent anyway.

After the police left, I lay on the table like a stranded fish like dead.

Does Jiang Zuoyi know?

I'm just not a filial girl, but I'm unprincipled. It's just a father's hatred that doesn't share the sky, but I just want to save my own love.

My dad was wrong, ridiculously wrong. What Ling Nan did made me feel disgusted and hurt so many innocent people. But only in the matter of revenge against my father, I can try to fight him, but I can't say that he did something wrong.

But Jiang Zuoyi is different.

I kept telling myself that I could forgive him even if he knew, even if he acquiesced, even if he didn't act.

As long as he's not involved. There was no personal planning, no hands-on implementation. Didn't get bloody.....

But I also know that there are some things that I can't ask about when they are clearly laid out like this.

By the time Ye Jinliang came in, I had already forced myself to sit up. The first thing he said was, what about Jiang Zuoyi?

"He's in the company."

I said what are you talking about? Now that I'm being calculated by Shu Yan's slut and going to prison, others don't come to catch me, but I'm still in the company?

What to do in the company!

"Because the lawyer published my father's will."

I swallowed hard, what did I say will? The announcement of the will is just a formality, the previous one has been invalidated, and now Shu Yan and I are his only two heirs. Even if you don't use a lawyer, you can do it according to the rules.

"But Dad...... Later it was quietly changed and did not tell us anyone. ”

"What do you mean?" My eyes widened.

"Dad put all the property in his hands, including real estate, into the name of a company called Acacia Rain Interior Decoration and Building Materials Trading Company." Ye Jinliang said, but he, like me, didn't know what kind of trading company it was about.

It was only today that I learned that the nominal legal representative was Shu Yan.

I didn't rush to jump up right away, because in the face of love and hatred, money is a trivial matter for a long time.

I thought about it and said it didn't make sense: "Could it be that my dad ...... because he feels that he owes too much to Shu Yan?"

"If you just feel indebted, why don't you just make a will and transfer it to her? On the contrary, what kind of trading company did it come from? ”

Ye Jinliang's doubts are actually my doubts, I said have you checked this company? Could it be that Ling Nan and the others single-handedly built it?

No wonder when I made an appointment with my father's wills lawyer yesterday, his words flickered and ambiguous, and it turned out that my father had other plans.

I said Shu Yan, so what? If she wants money, she will be satisfied.

Again, the damned and the undeserved are dead. If you make waves again, you will be shooting yourself in the foot.

"Now that she's taken the money, she's instead framing me for hurting my father? It's a real motive for my murder. ”

"It can't be said that she took the money. Because according to the latest provisions of the Wills Law, it takes at least three months for the consideration of the property to be transferred to the enterprise legal person before it can be liquidated and unfrozen. But—"

"But what?" I felt that Ye Jinliang seemed to be a little speechless from just now, so I said when it was over, what else do you have to hide from me. I saw him grab a copy slip from the bag he was carrying.

Densely packed, there are about two dozen business names.

I glanced at it a few times, and most of them were familiar. Isn't this the company that will come to bid together after the end of our second phase of the project promotion meeting at the beginning of next month?

"Look at it, these people in there—"

I lowered my head suspiciously, only to see that the Acacia Rain Decoration Trading Company I just mentioned was lying on the waiting list!

"Shu Yan wants to compete with us for the project? Make no mistake! "I said that I really don't understand what this little girl wants to do anymore, if the hatred really can't be resolved, she might as well throw an atomic bomb and bomb me!

"She's going to fight me? Just use this ability to fight? Fight with you, fight with Jiang Zuoyi? Which one can she fight! "I think the air conditioning in the interrogation room is a little hot, and my face is flushed at this point.

"Jin Liang, where is Jiang Zuoyi? I won't have already started to dismantle Shu Yan. I said I really didn't believe it, how long could I stay in the police station: "What about the lawyer?" I have to be released on bail for more than 48 hours, and I don't have time to waste my life with her! ”

"Shu Lan, I have to mention something to say hello to you." Ye Jinliang handed me a wet wipe, I wiped my face in a daze, and said You can talk about it directly, do you want to kill me in a hurry!

"After you were taken away, there was a riot on the board. Several old shareholders have already strongly questioned your previous publicity plan, which adds fuel to the fire.

So—"

Ye Jinliang said and pulled out a new thing from the folder that he had just gone to the list.

If we hadn't divorced a long time ago, his solemn and tangled expression would have made me think that this was what the divorce agreement said.

"It's-" I was so angry that I almost hit him in the face, "What do you mean!" At this time, you forced me to step down?! ”

"Shu Lan, listen to me, the more times like this, the more we have to have one heart. Now that something like this has happened, you can't stabilize the hearts of those old shareholders if you don't go down.

What kind of ...... are there in the company? Well, you know," after all, he was still at the police station, and I understood that Ye Jinliang didn't dare to hide his mouth, so he could only hint tacitly: "Shu Lan, you sign first, and I will temporarily take the position of director." You can rest assured that your decisions and attitude are my position.

We don't have to separate each other, right? ”

It's not that I don't distrust Ye Jinliang, and I also understand that no matter what kind of situation he comes into, he is even more worthy of believing than Jiang Zuoyi. But I said that I still don't quite understand, according to Jiang Zuoyi's previous style and position, shouldn't he personally go into battle to suppress other people's wariness and doubts at this time?

Why didn't he care about me? What is his attitude now?

"Shu Lan, Jiang Zuoyi also means this. Let you step down first, and I'll take your place for the time being. ”

I said okay, in that case, I'll sign it.

Maybe it was because my attitude suddenly changed to be crisp and decisive, and I directly abused Ye Jinliang.

He said that if I could trust him as I trusted Jiang Zuoyi, he would have no regrets when he died.

I shook my head with a wry smile and returned the resolution to Ye Jinliang.

I want to say that you don't understand at all, and it is precisely because I believe in you that I dare to ask you word by word; It is precisely because he doesn't believe him enough that he desperately risks slapping his face to find himself under the stairs.

"Shu Lan, Dad's passing..... do you think ......?"

"Don't ask me that question! First of all, it will definitely not be me who did it, and secondly...... It won't be someone else's doing.

Accidentally...... I think it was just an accident. I held my head and lowered the table. I tried my best to hold on to the fragile tears that didn't let him see me.

I found that I really miss Jiang Zuoyi, and I really hope that he can stand by my side and hug me, and tell me that it's okay, everything is with him. He can do everything for everyone, and I feel comfortable and bold to do what I want.

But why, that short period of happiness is like using an app to shake out a friend to travel. It was when he began to become uncertain and uncertain. Wrapping me in promises and sugarcoatings, and always doing things that I don't know how to ask and how to explain them?

For example, now, why did he ...... Haven't shown up yet?

"Do you want to talk to a lawyer first?" Ye Jinliang said that he first found a lawyer from the company's legal department. If it's really difficult, change people.

Of course, his attitude is rarely as optimistic as mine, saying that this case is not so complicated, it is all a false accusation made out of nothing, and it will not be planted.

I want to say that I know I won't plant it, but I need to tell the police...... The first person who bought a cake for my father was actually Jiang Zuoyi?

I suddenly seemed to understand a lot more, and I walked around, all fucking dead.

I said Ye Jinliang, call the lawyer in, I have an idea to communicate with professionals.

But at this moment, the lawyer who came in surprised Ye Jinliang, because this person was obviously not what he was looking for.

I don't know, but just looking at the temperament makes me feel awesome.

"Hello, you are Ms. Shu Lan, right? My surname is Qin, and although we haven't met, I've always known you. The Mr. Qin who spoke still couldn't make me search for ripples from my memory, but when he handed me a business card, I was stunned.

I have seen Qin Zheng's business card, which is the excellent lawyer that Jiang Zuoyi introduced to me and asked me to use to help Li Zhijian fight for custody and file a lawsuit.

All I know is that he's awesome. If it weren't for the fact that he quit the circle after becoming someone else's legal consultant, where would he still be able to take the turn of the gringo brought by Shu Yan?

"It was Mr. Jiang who entrusted me to help you defend yourself, of course, you don't have to be too nervous, this case is very easy, and you don't even need to go to court."

I nodded, like a little girl with no master.

I said Mr. Qin, let's get started.

"First of all, I don't know if the public prosecution evidence issued by the police can hold up," I truthfully cooperated with this lawyer Qin, to be honest, the people Jiang Zuoyi found always made me feel at ease and relieved so unconditionally: "But still lawyer Qin, you can fully trust me, I will never do such a big rebellious thing to my father." ”

Qin Zheng smiled and said, naturally, the first principle of case filing must always be controlled.

"So now the police evidence is focused on the few cakes I gave my father—" I balabala poured out my worries and doubts to Qin Zheng, and I said that I prefer to start with the cake itself. Because in terms of motives, I am not dominant.

The quarrel between me and my dad was obvious to all, and the 360-degree deviation of the will was even more unexpected. Even outsiders like Dr. Su Xihang have opened up to me about the fact that who sees and thinks I am suspicious.

I said Lawyer Qin, I just don't believe that someone in the cake will subjectively put drugs that can disrupt neurological coordination and make people addictive.

"There are some words, to put it bluntly, everyone's face is not good-looking." I said that my father had an accident in prison after all, and this kind of thing is tacitly known to everyone, and those who can shirk responsibility will of course be pushed out.

The prison is also reluctant to take the charge of the supervision loophole on itself, and it is very 'hopeful' that the source of the poison will float in from the outside world, so that everyone will be happily exempted from responsibility.

"Don't worry, Ms. Shu, I understand your thoughts. Six hours have passed since this morning. According to the legal process, the police have no right to keep you here without evidence of direct prosecution and a warrant for arrest within 48 hours.

And forty-eight hours is enough for me. ”

I was so energetic by Qin Zheng's confidence that I didn't think I was light-hearted, I just felt that I had too many things to figure out - but the first step was to no longer be trapped in the detention center.

When I said goodbye to my lawyer, I was taken into a single room by the female correctional officer. I asked for a pen and paper, and lay down on the humble bed to write and draw.

I made a tree diagram to show the ins and outs of the whole event in the most intuitive way.

With Zhongshan Jianye as the center, black and white business roads, my father and Ye Jinliang's father are on the same camp, but these people in all directions seem to be enemies.

In addition to the family feud between love and hate, why do I always feel that the character of Shu Yan seems to have a bond between Ling Nan and Ling Xue.

Am I ...... What else is missing?

It took my dad such a short time to suddenly change his will. Is it a debt? Or is it —

Protect me?

My dad didn't want me to wade into troubled waters, I knew that.

But now, the people related to the tragedy of that year have died one by one, and we are left with a curse but always changing our minds day by day, so why do we have to not let ourselves go?

I think I know too little about my dad, but ....... don't have a chance to ask him anymore.

And just like that, I opened my tired eyes at the first prison sunrise in my life, and it was already the next day.

As soon as I finished washing, the prison guards came to greet me and said let me go out first, someone outside wanted to bail you out.

"So fast?" Can I say that I didn't do enough to go to jail once?

I said my lawyer is here? Can the police remove my suspicion and quality control?

As I thought, I didn't see Qin Zheng. Jiang Zuoyi was the only one, as if he had carefully prepared a big magic trick and conjured himself up.

"You're like this every time, either you turn around and leave, or you don't show up for days, or you suddenly fall from the sky." I got a haircut and walked up to Jiang Zuoyi: "I know, you just don't want me to know something." ”

"Shu Lan, you have suffered."

I smiled and shook my head, saying no, I think the rare loss of freedom and calm emptiness will make me think more clearly: "For example—"
