Chapter 14: Capture

"What?" Yang Wenbin immediately walked towards Yin Mingxu, "Are you sure?" ”

Yin Mingxu nodded, and showed a puzzled expression, "Yes, I didn't see a box with that necklace in Zhu Bairong's room." ”

"Impossible......" Yang Wenbin obviously didn't think of this answer, and began to pace upset, "But where else would it be if it wasn't in her room?" ”

"But what are you looking for that box for?" Yin Mingxu asked puzzledly, "Is it related to the investigation of the case?" ”

"Oh, that's not it." Yang Wenbin showed a smile and said with some embarrassment, "The box has nothing to do with the case, I'm sorry for letting you do me a favor, this is for Luo Yan's little girl." ”

As soon as Luo Yan's name was mentioned, someone in the room raised their heads, and those who didn't raise their heads also pricked up their ears to pay attention to the sound.

"Luo Yan?"

"Well, you may not know that when Zhu Bairong's necklace was stolen two days ago, Luo Yan used an identical box to drop the necklace. So now Luo Yan is holding the original Miss Zhu's box, and she asked me to get back her own box, which is said to have been given to her by her deceased grandmother. Yang Wenbin said a little helplessly, "I was so worn by her that I couldn't help it, so I had to ask you to take a look." ”

"You're so kind-hearted." Zhu Zhixin, who was sitting on the side and never spoke, said a little yin and yang at this time, "You are still a detective because you are so dedicated to a thief." ”

"First of all, he's not a detective, he's a non-professional surgeon." At this juncture, Yan Junli walked down from the upstairs just right, and relieved Yang Wenbin with an indecent look, "Second, Luo Yan is a thief, and we don't have the slightest intention of protecting her, but at the same time, she is also a minor, fatherless and motherless orphan, what we adults should do should be to give this child a correct education instead of maliciously attacking her and framing her as a murderer." All of you here are adults, so why don't you be more mature? ”

Soon, this topic was passed by Yan Junli with other light topics. Visitors to the South Island spend the whole day in a state of uneasiness. And the night was getting deeper, and the dark blue night hung with a little nebula, and the inn became quiet, and everyone fell into a deep sleep.

Luo Yan is no exception. Her petite body curled up in the single bed of the hotel, her long loose hair and warm quilt burying her entire face, and her steady breathing showed that the girl was sleeping soundly.

At that moment, there was a very slight sound coming from the door, which anyone with experience could hear, the sound of picking a lock with wire. After about a minute or two, the lock made a soft "click", and then the door was gently pushed open, and a man slipped in.

He moved very lightly, trying not to make any moves that might wake up the girl in the bed, and just rummaged around the room by the moonlight that spilled in from the window. He was patient at first, but after all the drawers and cabinets in the house had been rummaged through, the intruder had apparently become less patient. So, the intruder abandoned the table and cupboard and approached the bed lightly.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the intruder to notice that in an inconspicuous drawer next to Luo Yan's bed, there was the delicate jewelry box. The intruder quickly walked over without thinking, and then stretched out his handβ€”

But he didn't get his hands on the box, and his wrist was grabbed. The person who caught him was actually "Luo Yan" who was sleeping soundly in bed!

"Do you want to take this?" "Luo Yan" had a lot of strength, clamped the intruder's wrist tightly, and then ripped off the wig on his head. The person lying on Luo Yan's bed turned out to be Yan Junli.

Yan Junli showed a malicious smile and whispered to the invaders who were desperately struggling to escape, "Don't struggle, Mr. Yin, everyone is looking at you." ”

As soon as Yan Junli's words fell, the lights in the room lit up with a "snap". Yang Wenbin walked in from outside the door, and behind him was crowded with the Zhu family and many other spectators.

"Captain Yan, I have to say, you look really beautiful in a wig." Yang Wenbin said with a smile.

"When is it," Yan Junli's expression was very helpless, "You actually told me this as soon as you came in?" ”

In the bright room, the person who was caught by Yan Junli was the service manager of the Empress Cruise: Yin Mingxu.

"You...... How could it be you!" Yin Mingxu said in surprise, and struggled desperately, "You let go of me!" ”

"The murderer turned out to be him? He ......" and Luo Yan was wearing pajamas, hiding outside the door of the room in a group of spectators and covering her mouth in surprise.

"Don't spew blood!" Yin Mingxu shook his arm vigorously, broke free of Yan Junli's restraints, and his cheeks turned red, "Why do you say that I am a murderer!" ”

Yang Wenbin showed a light smile, stood in the center of the room, and spoke unhurriedly, "As I said, I will never wronged a good person, nor will I shield a murderer." Let me think, where should your story begin? Let's start with the story of the Zhu family twenty years ago. ”

As he spoke, Yang Wenbin began to pace around the room and slowly began to speak.

"Twenty years ago, when the Zhu family's power was at its greatest, the head of the family at that time, that is, Zhu Bo, the father of Miss Zhu Bairong, was a talented and romantic person. I asked Yan Junli to investigate some of the past history of the Zhu family, and I found out that twenty years ago, Zhu Bo had a notorious affair that was exposed. It is said that once when he was doing business abroad, he fell in love with a young and beautiful female student. He was so caught up in it that he couldn't extricate himself, and even had a child with the international student. But the good times didn't last long, and the relationship between the two was soon discovered by Zhu Bo's wife, who must have been so angry that she was so angry that in desperation, in order to maintain the marriage and family, Zhu Bo had to cut off the love thread with the international student and never contact him again. However, before parting, Zhu Bo gave her a token of commitment, hoping that she would never forget herself. ”

As he spoke, Yang Wenbin took out a jewelry box like a trick, walked to the side of the bed, and took the jewelry box in the bedside drawer in his hand. In this way, two almost identical boxes were shown to everyone by Yang Wenbin.

"First of all, it's normal that you can't find the box in Zhu Bairong's room, because I noticed it when we returned to the Empress to investigate, and I put it back." Yang Wenbin played with the two boxes in his hand and said to Yin Mingxu, "As for why I did this, it was to compare how similar these two boxes were." As you can see, they are very, very similar in size and shape and color, except that the dark lines of the embroidery are slightly different. This one is embroidered with a dragon, while this one is embroidered with a phoenix, so we can say that these two boxes are a pair. This kind of paired jewelry box is not uncommon, and it is mostly used to put the couple's pair rings or something. Therefore, I guess that Zhu Bo gave this box to his lover as a souvenir. ”

Yang Wenbin said and raised the box in his left hand so that everyone could see it, "Because the bottom of this box is embroidered with the word 'Lan'." ”

"'Ran'?" Yan Junli asked.

"I believe that it should be the word 'orchid' of 'Mao Yulan'." Yang Wenbin put down the box and said calmly.

"That! Is that! Luo Yan couldn't help but cover her mouth when she heard this, she couldn't believe it, "That's my grandmother's name!" ”

Yang Wenbin nodded, "That's right, and that's why Luo Yan will have a jewelry box in her hand that is exactly the same as Miss Zhu's." And what happened then? Zhu Bo did not see Mao Yulan again, as he promised his wife. But he couldn't do it anyway not to meet his own son. That's right, it is the child of Zhu Bo conceived by Mao Yulan, the illegitimate son of the Zhu family. I asked Yan Junli to use the police station to check the whereabouts of Zhu Bo's funds a few years ago, and then I found one thing, Zhu Bo has a fixed amount of money to an account almost every year, and the name of the owner of that account is Mao Wentao. That's right, it's the child born of Zhu Bo and Mao Yulan's fornication. Jubo has apparently been in private contact with the child, and my guess is that what you call his 'mysterious property' is most likely the legacy you wanted to leave to the illegitimate son in the first place. ”

Several Zhu family members were shocked when they heard this.

"He actually ...... I never knew he had an illegitimate child out there! Zhu Haoran's mouth couldn't be closed.

"No wonder he always hides the whereabouts of some of his money from us, so that's what happened." Zhu Zhixin muttered.

But when he was dying, for some reason, the old man suddenly changed his mind and handed over the property to his daughter Zhu Bairong instead. And this must have made this bastard angry. Yang Wenbin suddenly turned his head to Yin Mingxu, his eyes sharp, "That's right, Mr. Mao Wentao." ”

Yin Mingxu stood stiffly in place, looking at everyone coldly.

"What? But he ...... Isn't he a cruise attendant? Everyone was surprised, "How did you become the illegitimate son of the Zhu family!" ”

"I began to suspect your identity from a few hours before the ship stopped, that is, when Zhu Bairong began to disappear." Yang Wenbin walked in front of Yin Mingxu and looked directly at him, "Two hours before the boat stopped, you came into our room to fill out the form, and I noticed that your cuffs were wet. You say it's because of water seepage in the cabin, but if it's seepage, it's seawater. Wet clothes with seawater must leave some salt and mineral stains, and there are no such marks on your sleeves, so it is fresh water that wets your sleeves, most likely the water in the pool when you attacked Zhu Bairong. ”
