Chapter 15: The Final Chapter
"What's more, I've never heard of someone in the service department dealing with a leak in the cabin, and your excuse is not only lame, it's unreasonable." Yang Wenbin looked directly into Yin Mingxu's eyes, "And this is by no means a mistake that the staff of a luxury passenger ship should make." I've been keeping an eye on you ever since. Before you stop the boat, you come to our room to write the registration, whether you take the pen or hand the form, you use your left hand, you are left-handed. But in your workshop, folders and drinking glasses are placed on the right-hand side. Why? Quite simply, it's not 'your room', it's 'Yoon Myung-wook's room'. I don't know what method you used to steal this person's name, it may be bribery or threats, but you knew in advance that the Zhu family was going to the island, so you chose the identity that was most convenient to get close to them and least suspicious. You have only one purpose, which is the legacy left by Jubo, and you are the only one on the ship who knows where that inheritance is, which is why you are the only one who has fallen into my trap. β
As he spoke, Yang Wenbin put down the box with the phoenix pattern, picked up the box embroidered with a dragon, and then pulled out a thin piece of paper from the mezzanine at the bottom of the box with a strong hand.
"Only you know that Jubo's relics have nothing to do with any cursed necklace at all, it's not the contents that matter, it's the box itself." Yang Wenbin unfolded the paper and shook it in his hand so that everyone could read the words on it, "And the relics left by Zhu Bo are none other than the island itself under our feet." β
The paper in Yang Wenbin's hand is a title deed!
"Then, is that ......" Yan Junli said in surprise, "Is the mysterious industry of the old man of the Zhu family this island?" β
Yang Wenbin nodded, "The title deed says that Zhu Bo is the first discoverer of this small southern island, so according to the policy of the authorities, this island belongs to Zhu Bo's property. I guess this island was discovered by accident when Jubo was out and about. But at that time, an island with no minerals and no precious beasts really had no effective value, which is probably why Jubo didn't take it seriously in the first place. But with the development of the times and the advent of the era of peace, an island with a good location and beautiful scenery can rely on tourism to earn a lot of money. Once this title deed is in hand, it can be said that you can sit on a mountain of gold and silver for the rest of your life. The Zhu family also knows this, especially Zhu Bo's elder brother, that is, you, Zhu Haoran and Mao Yingqin. You also know that the title deed exists, but you don't know where it will be, so you will sneak into Zhu Bairong's room and rummage through the cabinets when she is gone. It's just that your mind is simple, and you didn't even think of a jewelry box with a necklace. β
"You!" Zhu Haoran was so angry that his face turned blue.
But Yang Wenbin didn't care about his face at all, and continued, "But no matter how much Zhu Haoran and his wife want this property, their behavior can only be theft at best, but they are not murderers. Now, Mr. Yin, let's talk about the murder part. β
Yang Wenbin walked in front of Yin Mingxu again and looked directly at the other party's expressionless face.
"When I first got on the ship, I found that you know the affairs of the Zhu family in great detail, far more than a cruise staff should know. At first I didn't care, thinking it was just your interest. But then I found out that it's not that simple, you and Zhu Bairong must know each other. Not only do you know each other, but she should have known your true identity long ago. β
"Why do you say that?" Yin Mingxu asked coldly.
The corners of Yang Wenbin's lips curled up with a smile, and he said unhurriedly, "Let me ask you, what did the three of us say when we returned to the boat to investigate the clues and stood outside the door of Zhu Bairong's room?" β
"What?" Yin Mingxu didn't react.
"Come on, think about it." Yang Wenbin was kind and seductive, "Just when we found out that Zhu Bairong's room was turned into a mess. What are your exclamations about Miss Zhu Bairong? β
"I ......" Yin Mingxu was obviously offended by Yang Wenbin's expression, and suppressed his anger and said, "I said, 'What relics her father left her are not good, but it is such a cursed necklace', is there anything wrong with this?" β
Yang Wenbin smiled when he heard this, "So, how did you know that this necklace was a relic given to her by her father?" β
Yin Mingxu was stunned.
"No one had ever mentioned it before. Even we were told to us by Zhu Bairong reluctantly in a very reluctant situation, for her, this should be an unspeakable family matter, how could she tell a waiter who only has one side? Yang Wenbin raised his eyebrows, "So you not only know each other, but also know each other, so familiar that she can tell you this kind of thing without hesitation." Mr. Yin, Zhu Bairong trusts you, she treats you as a close relative, but you killed her mercilessly! β
"How did you do it?" Yang Wenbin gradually approached Yin Mingxu - maybe it would be better to call Mao Wentao, "Use the convenience of the fake position to ask her to the empty pool?" Strike at her when she's defenseless, a fatal blow? How can you! What kind of mood did you take to drag her corpse away, huh? What kind of mood did you have to kill your half-sister with your own hands! β
Yang Wenbin's voice echoed in the room. Zhu Zhixin was silent with wet eyes, Zhu Haoran and Mao Yingqin lowered their heads and shot resentful eyes at Mao Wentao from the corner of their eyes, and Luo Yan seemed to have finally reacted, she looked at Yang Wenbin blankly, and then moved her gaze to Mao Wentao in a daze, tears slipped out of the corners of her eyes.
"He ......," Luo Yan choked up and said, "such a person, such a murderer!" It's actually my own ...... Father ......"
"Not really!" I don't know if Luo Yan's words touched Mao Wentao, he suddenly shouted vigorously, "I didn't want to kill her!" Oh my God, I didn't think she would die! I was just...... I just want my share of the inheritance, which is supposed to be mine! That's what the old man promised me a long time ago! You Zhu family, you don't know what a hard life my mother and I, orphans and widows, live! Our mother and son often eat the last meal without the next, but you can sit back and enjoy it without doing anything! β
The expression on Mao Wentao's face also became hideous, and he shouted like a beast, "That old man is the same, he is just as open-minded as you!" What did I do? I'm just asking him to reveal my identity before he dies! Am I his son, and I can't even get this right? But as soon as the old man heard this request, he even handed over the inheritance that was originally intended for me to someone else! When I saw on the news that it was Zhu Bairong holding the box, my lungs were about to explode. I just want to get the box back, to get my possessions back. I asked her to go to the pool to have a good talk with her, but Zhu Bairong, that woman, was like a madman, she didn't listen to anything, and she did everything possible to drag me out of the pool. I had no choice but to knock her unconscious, but I didn't expect my strength to be so strong that I actually beat her to death......"
Mao Wentao laughed nervously twice, "You all know the rest of the matter, that's right, just like Mr. Yang said." I tied her body to a heavy object and threw it into the sea. I found Zhu Bairong's box, but found that the title deed was not inside, and at this time Zhu Bairong's body had been found. I didn't do anything wrong and I don't regret killing her! If I have the chance, I want to kill all of you Zhu family members one by one and throw them into the sea! You ruthless brutes, how many years of painful life have you made me carryββ! β
"It's a pity, I don't think you have that chance." Seeing that Mao Wentao might get out of control, Yan Junli stepped forward in three steps and two steps, cut his hands behind his back neatly, and quickly handcuffed him, "Whether it's inheritance or hatred, you can't take it to prison." β
Yang Wenbin's eyes always had a dark look, and he didn't say another word, he turned around and melted into the darkness of the night.
From the beginning of the journey, the event was like a dark cloud over the heads of the passengers, and at this time the curtain finally came to a perfect end. Yan Junli had already called the police in advance, and a day later, the police rushed to the island by speedboat, taking away not only Mao Wentao, but also a group of tourists who had completely lost their interest in vacation due to the shadow of the murder. Many people have walked away on the island at once, and the beautiful scenery seems a little lonely.
Luo Yan sat on the steps outside the hotel and looked at the sea in the distance in a daze, since the case was solved, this reckless little girl seemed to have matured a lot overnight, and the little sadness between her eyebrows made people feel a little distressed. Yang Wenbin had just come out of the hot spring in the backyard, his hair was still wet, and he had a towel around his neck, and he saw Luo Yan in a daze as soon as he got downstairs.
"So...... What are you going to do next? Yang Wenbin cleared his throat and asked.
Luo Yan turned around and relaxed when she saw that it was Yang Wenbin, "Hmm...... The Zhu family is willing to subsidize my return journey. Mr. Zhu Zhixin said that he could adopt me, but after this kind of thing, I thought it would be better for me to live alone. β
Yang Wenbin nodded, "It's okay, when you can live independently, don't forget to pay back." β
Luo Yan showed a shallow smile when she heard this, and then she raised her head to look at Yang Wenbin and asked, "So you guys...... You and Officer Yan, is this how your daily life is? β
"Investigating the case and taking a risk?" Yang Wenbin said with a smile in his eyes, "Yes, we are like this, we are not bored every day." β
"No, I'm not talking about that." Luo Yan showed a very complicated expression, "I mean...... You go through this every day, how do you keep yourself from going crazy? β
Yang Wenbin was stunned, and at that moment he couldn't think of any words to answer this question. Until Yan Junli's shout came from the backyard and interrupted Yang Wenbin's stunned.
"Wen Bin! Can you hand me a towel? β
In the bathroom, Wang Jianjian held a towel in his wet hand and lowered his head.
- I don't know how to tell you, but I just want to remind you not to fall deeper and deeper.
- The intrigues behind the corpses, the sins of the murderers, etc.
- Seeing too many people can be affected even by outsiders, let alone characters like you.
"Who let you not take it yourself!" Yang Wenbin immediately said and walked towards the hot spring in the backyard.
