Chapter 97: Fourth Uncle
Song Xin looked at her phone, and it didn't take long for her to feel sleepy, and then she went to sleep.
In the middle of the night, she heard a strange knock on the door. Because she was so sleepy, she was not interested in opening the door at all. Although there was a knock on the door, she didn't care and continued to sleep. In this way, the quality of sleep will naturally be reduced, but she can sleep all the time.
Then I don't know when I couldn't hear the sound, and Song Xin also slept until early in the morning.
I slept quite comfortably this night, so Song Xin's mood was still very good.
Stretching, Song Xin got up to wash up and go to breakfast.
When I arrived at the restaurant, I found that many people had already gotten up, but they all looked very sleepy, especially Lu Jing yawned one after another, Song Xin looked sleepy for him, and he didn't know what big things he did yesterday.
Lu Shaozhi asked very directly: "Third uncle, what did you do last night, so sleepy?" ”
Lu Jing replied very quickly, "I don't know who knocked on the door in the middle of the night, I went out to look a few times, and it wasn't my door, so I didn't pay attention, but I didn't sleep well." ”
Song Xin remembered that Lu Jing's room was indeed quite close to her, and it was not surprising that she could hear the knock on the door, the knock on the door was a disaster for people who did not sleep well, and Song Xin rarely sympathized with him.
Lu Qin and Zhou Lan's situation is not much better, and when asked, it is the same reason. Then the old man Lu who came in was not in a very good state, and he went back to sleep after eating half of the meal.
Lu Shaozhi quietly asked the housekeeper, and the housekeeper said that the old man was very interested in playing chess last night, and the two of them didn't go to bed until midnight. The housekeeper couldn't help but yawn as he spoke.
Song Xin asked Lu Shaozhi, "Does grandpa usually like to play chess?" ”
"I don't know, I haven't played chess with my grandfather anyway."
"Then there must be something special that makes Grandpa happy."
"Perhaps." Although he is his grandfather's favorite grandson, there are some things that Lu Shaozhi is not easy to ask.
People were almost here, but they didn't see Lu Jinzhi, Lu Shaozhi suddenly became nervous, worried that something would happen to Lu Jinzhi, and hurriedly ran to Lu Jinzhi's room.
The door to the room was closed, and he kept knocking until someone answered.
Lu Jinzhi opened the door and saw that it was Lu Shaozhi, and his anger was half gone, "Big brother, I'm sleeping, what's the matter?" ”
"It's okay, you can go back to sleep."
Lu Jinzhi didn't understand what the situation was, but Song Xin knew very well that Lu Shaozhi was worried about Lu Jinzhi's accident, after all, in this family, the old man hurt Lu Shaozhi and Lu Jinzhi the most. Lu Shaozhi has already died because of this, and he really doesn't want Lu Jinzhi to have another accident.
Back at the restaurant, the two ate as if nothing had happened, and when they were done, they went to the garden for a stroll.
Originally, the two of them could find a place to sit down and chat while drinking tea, but yesterday's incident made Song Xin feel that it was too unsafe to talk in the house, so he talked to Lu Shaoyi while walking.
She was sure that the knock on her door last night was hers, and if it was someone else, she would have been scared if she heard a regular knock at that point in time. Song Xin didn't care because she wasn't afraid.
Song Xin was naturally not frightened, but this also shows that there are indeed people in this family who have bad intentions.
"You mean people are deliberately causing panic and making you scared and then get out of here?"
"I think it's very likely, and it won't happen just once, and I think it's probably going to be more lively tonight." Thinking of this, Song Xin still had a little expectation.
Looking at Song Xin's expression, Lu Shaozhi was still worried, "Although I know you're not afraid, you still have to be careful, I will also observe at any time." ”
"Don't go out, otherwise it's easy to be alert, isn't it easier for a little girl like me to be scared, and it's easy for those who do it to let down their vigilance. So, you just have to sleep peacefully. ”
"How reassuring I am." Even if Song Xin didn't care about him, Lu Shaozhi still cared about Song Xin very much, and it was impossible for him to let the woman he liked take risks alone.
Song Xin suddenly looked at Lu Shaozhi very seriously, "Seriously, you have a lot of qualities that can be liked by girls." ”
"But it doesn't appeal to you."
"Can you say something useful?"
"I think what I said is very useful, don't you think?"
Song Xin didn't know what expression to use, so she simply stopped talking and left. Lu Shaozhi chased after him and explained what he said to Song Xin. Song Xin didn't listen to anything, but Lu Shaozhi was persevering and had to say it. The scene of the two fighting is really hilarious.
On the balcony, Zhou Chao walked to Zhou Lan's side, "Sister, I advise you to give up on him." ”
Zhou Lanqiang couldn't help but feel sad, "What are you talking about?" ”
"Do you think I don't know if you don't say it, you like Lu Shaozhi. However, even if you don't care about the relationship between the two of you, he won't like you, so why make yourself uncomfortable. ”
Zhou Lan was a little angry, "You don't have to worry about my affairs." ”
"I'm your own brother, and I'm the one who will really be for you."
Zhou Lan couldn't listen to this kind of talk at all, and left directly. In her heart, no one is more suitable for her than her brother Shaozhi, and she is also a woman that Brother Shaozhi should cherish.
Zhou Chao looked at the two people in the garden, with a fierce expression on his face.
With yesterday's thrill, today's manor is quite quiet.
The old man did seem to be sleepless, and he didn't show up at lunch. Lu Shaozhi was really too worried, so he went to take a look at it and made sure that the old man was indeed fine.
After lunch, Song Xin was dragged by Lu Jinzhi to play badminton. The interests and hobbies of the two are very similar, and they get along extremely well, and Song Xin is relaxed only when she gets along with Lu Jinzhi.
After sweating, the two went back to the house, nestled in the sofa and chatted while watching TV.
As they chatted, they heard the sound of someone talking loudly.
Both of them were very curious, and went to the door to see the situation, and then a young man came over, and greeted Lu Jinzhi happily when he saw him, "You are Jinzhi, you are so old." ”
However, Lu Jinzhi really didn't remember that he knew such a person, let alone Song Xin.
"What, don't you remember me? I'm your fourth uncle, Lu Kai. ”
"Oh, it's the fourth uncle, when did you come back?"
No wonder Lu Jinzhi doesn't know, this fourth uncle has been away from home for a long time, if he doesn't come back, it is estimated that everyone will forget that there is such a person in this family.
"It hasn't been long since I came back."
"Grandpa is still sleeping, and I don't know where the others are."
"It's okay, few people will welcome me anyway."
Song Xin's first feeling of this person was straightforward, but he didn't know what he came back for at this time, in Song Xin's opinion, he must have something, otherwise he wouldn't have come back at this time. However, as long as it has nothing to do with Lu Shaozhi's affairs, Song Xin can ignore it.
Lu Kai looked at Song Xin, "Who is this?" ”
"It's my eldest brother Lu Shaozhi's girlfriend, my sister-in-law."
"Oh, it's Shaozhi's girlfriend, Shaozhi is quite discerning."
"Of course, sister-in-law is fine."
Lu Jinzhi praised himself like this, Song Xin was really embarrassed, and smiled, which was a response.
"I'll go to bed first, I'll see you later."
"Oh."
Then the two of them watched Lu Kai leave.
Lu Jinzhi muttered that the fourth uncle was not so handsome before, why did the fourth uncle come back suddenly. Song Xin said that it had nothing to do with the two of them, and Lu Jinyi thought that this was really the case, so he didn't want to.
Just because they don't want it doesn't mean that others don't.
It didn't take long for everyone in the family to know that Lu Kai was back, and they were all discussing Lu Kai. Although Lu Kai always does things against Old Man Lu's will, Old Man Lu still likes this son very much, and everyone speculates that he came back this time for another purpose, and it is very likely that he came for the family property.
Song Xin also felt very speechless, why is this family property when they open and close their mouths, is it possible that rich families are like this? But also, for them, there is no money and no thoughts.
Song Xin took advantage of the fact that no one noticed her and retreated directly, she was not interested in listening to them say that these were useless, it was better to stay quietly alone and do something she liked.
When I went upstairs and was about to enter the room, I heard the voice of someone talking, which sounded like Lu Jing's voice. Song Xin didn't enter the room either, leaning against the wall and listening.
"Can't you forgive me for a few days, it's not the first time I've ever had it, and I don't have any trust at all?"
"No, you also know the situation of my family, you just have to wait a little longer, I can give more interest."
It's just that the other party doesn't seem to want to give him more time at all, and finally he angrily drops the phone.
Before being discovered, Song Xin withdrew.
Song Xin returned to the room, took a pen and wrote down the relationship between the family, and then added his own questions, now it seems that there are many suspects, but there is no definite evidence. She investigated the whereabouts of everyone when Lu Shaozhi fell into the water, and there was no suspicion. Wait until tomorrow, Song Xin will go to the place where the accident happened, maybe she can get something.
After a while, Lu Jinzhi came over and asked Song Xin why she slipped away directly, she still had to listen to other people's ramblings there.
Song Xin said she was embarrassed, she didn't think about it that much.
Lu Jinzhi naturally didn't want to go back, and he didn't want to stay alone, so he continued to stay with Song Xin.
Then, someone called Lu Jinzhi, and Lu Jinzhi went out.
Song Xin continued to think about her own affairs, but there was not much to think about at the moment. Regardless of anything else, what she is unhappy about now is that he didn't respond at all to what she asked Jiang Hao to do, Jiang Hao's efficiency shouldn't be so low.
Song Xin was about to call Jiang Hao, and when someone knocked on the door, she went to open the door first.
opened the door, but the person who came surprised Song Xin a little.
"Fourth uncle, why did you come to me?"
"There's something I'd like to talk to you about, do you have any time?"
"Then come in."
Bringing people in, Song Xin asked Lu Kai bluntly what was the matter.
"Shaozhi is dead, right?"
His question surprised Song Xin very much, after all, although Lu Shaozhi was a resurrected person, he did not have the slightest breath of a dead person on his body, even Song Xin had no way to identify that this person had died without knowing it.
Song Xin didn't deliberately hide his expression, and Lu Kai could see it clearly, so he confirmed his conjecture.
"You don't have to be so surprised, I know it's because I investigated after Shaozhi's accident, and I could confirm that he was dead at that time, and I personally confirmed the body, but he actually came back to life, it's really unbelievable."
Song Xin pondered how to give Lu Kai a reasonable explanation, and Lu Kai said: "Actually, there are many things in the world that are difficult to explain with common sense, I don't think so, I just want to know how your investigation is." ”
"What do you mean?"
"I've made it so clear, you don't have to pretend to be confused. Are you investigating who did this family to Lu Shao, how is the investigation? ”
Regardless of how Lu Kai learned about Lu Shaozhi step by step, his last question was a bit strange, he obviously didn't particularly care about Lu Shaozhi's affairs, so what was the reason he wanted to know.
Song Xin didn't answer Lu Kai's question, but asked a question.
"For a woman."
"What woman?"
"A woman I love dearly."
Song Xin wanted to ask again, but Lu Kai said: "It seems that you have not made any progress, and I will tell me when you have progress." ”
With that, Lu Kai left.
Song Xin watched him leave and felt that this person was really strange.
Coincidentally, Lu Shaozhi, who came to look for Song Xin, saw Lu Kai coming out of Song Xin's room, he went over and asked, "What is the matter with my fourth uncle coming to you?" ”
"Inquire about our progress."
Lu Shaozhi became nervous, "What does he mean?" ”
Song Xin pulled Lu Shaozhi in and explained the situation to him.
"What does the woman he loves have to do with me?"
Song Xin spread her hands, how could she know about this kind of thing.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that a female corpse was fished out of the river under the waterfall the next day.
Song Xin felt that she might have been unlucky today, she just wanted to know if there would still be items left in the river that could identify who was trying to harm Lu Shaozhi. But I didn't expect the person who went into the water to say that there seemed to be a person underneath, and I didn't expect it to be a woman after I fished it up. The face was completely puffy and unrecognizable. His hands and feet were tied, and he sank to the bottom of the water with a hanging stone.
If it weren't for Song Xin's whim to find out, it would probably take a long time to know.
After learning that there was such a situation in the place where he had been swimming, Old Man Lu naturally felt very bad, so he went to the scene to take a look and left directly.
Fortunately, although the body is unrecognizable, there is still DNA left that can be used as identification.
When something like this happens, everyone has no appetite for dinner. Originally, we would have been communicating, but it was very quiet.
Song Xin carefully observed everyone's expressions, but he didn't find anything special, even if there were people here who were related to the dead, it was very well hidden.
When the police arrived, they questioned everyone, and no one knew the deceased.
"This woman is definitely coming to this house, and there will definitely be people who know her, and they will say it sooner. Of course, if the person who knows is the murderer, it is a different matter. ”
"Fourth brother, what do you mean by this, do you suspect that someone from this family killed her?" Obviously, Lu Jing doesn't like Lu Kai very much, he is also a son who has no prospects, and the old man hates himself but spoils Lu Kai very much. Lu Kai didn't know how much it cost to travel, but the old man still supported him. But as for himself, if he wants to open an art exhibition, the old man will only say that it is meaningless to spend money in vain.
"What I mean should be understood by everyone, generally no one will come here, since it comes, it must be related to our family."
"It's also possible that someone killed someone and dumped the body here."
"There shouldn't be many people around here, and it's not a place where anyone would come here on purpose, come here to throw corpses, who would believe it."
"What's the matter, do you have to identify your family as the murderer to be happy?"
"I didn't mean that."
Lu Jing really hated his attitude very much, obviously he brought it up himself, and now he is like a nobody. Since this is the case, he is not afraid, he wants to see what ideas his younger brother is holding back.
