Chapter 238: A mutilated suicide note
Because they found the secret grid before, they relaxed a lot in the study's investigation, and people will have a satisfied mentality, and after finding a clue in the study, they feel that the secret of the study has been dug up and no longer pay attention to the study. However, Xu Yueqing believes that if she investigates carefully, there will definitely be new clues in a very private place like the study.
With this mentality, Xu Yueqing slipped into Fang Wenguo's study with confidence, still spotless when they first came in, Xu Yueqing didn't look for other places, she kept searching along the hidden places in the corners, but the search for a long time was not as smooth as before.
If you can't find other clues, you can't debunk the truth of the matter.
Xu Yueqing paced around the study with some irritability, completely forgetting the fact that she had snuck in.
Suddenlyβ
The small voice under her feet attracted Xu Yueqing's attention, in order to confirm her guess, Xu Yueqing stomped her foot hard again, not only did the two tiles not only feel different when they stepped on, but the sound of the knockout was not the same, and a surprising guess exploded in her mind.
"What are you doing?"
Fang Zhilan was just passing by the study and was about to go back to her room to rest, but she heard movement in the study outside the door, as if someone was inside, and her heart suddenly became alert. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the study, I saw a woman kneeling on the floor in the center of the study, half-lying on her stomach, sneakily not knowing what she was doing.
Fang Wenguo's study is almost a forbidden area in the Fang family's mansion, and Fang Zhilan has also ordered that no one can enter the study without permission, except for the person who is responsible for cleaning the study.
Thinking that there would be a maid at home who took her words as a deaf ear, Fang Zhilan felt that the anger in her heart was simply raging.
Xu Yueqing was just pleasantly surprised by her discovery and was caught by the owner of the house, and she didn't care about any embarrassing or embarrassing questions, she beckoned to Fang Zhilan to come to her side, she couldn't wait to tell everyone about her discovery, although she didn't know whether the clues in it were good or bad.
"Zhilan, come on, I have made a new discovery!"
Fang Zhilan frowned and looked at the "trespasser" who was still kneeling on the ground, not knowing whether to be angry or laughing, but when she heard her say that there were new clues, she couldn't help but want to escape. She had listened to too many investigations, and each time it only made her more suspicious of her father.
Xu Yueqing saw that she was standing still in place, and thought that she was waiting for her to put the clues she found in front of her, and she didn't know the fear in her heart.
When Xu Yueqing turned around to dig the hidden objects under the floor, Fang Zhilan rushed out of the study without saying a word, but met Zhuo Xiangyu at the door who didn't find Xu Yueqing in the room and came out to look for her.
Fang Zhilan, who had always been elegant and generous before meeting, had a rare panic on her face, and Zhuo Xiangyu couldn't help but grab her arm, "What's wrong with you?" β
Fang Zhilan kept shaking her head to say that she was fine, Zhuo Xiangyu had to glance at the study quietly, and then let go of her arm, "Have you seen Qingqing?" β
Fang Zhilan pointed straight to the study, and threw down a sentence, "Sister-in-law found a new clue in the study." He hurried to his room.
Zhuo Xiangyu watched Fang Zhilan's back disappear into his field of vision thoughtfully, and what swirled in his mind was the sentence before she ran away, but he never understood what connection Xu Yueqing had found a new clue and her Zhang Huang's departure.
Shrugging his shoulders, Zhuo Xiangyu walked to Xu Yueqing, who was busy in the study, and squatted down without a sound, and then suddenly made a sound when she excitedly took out the small wooden box hidden under the floor.
"What kind of trap did you find in the study this time?"
Xu Yueqing was already frightened by Fang Zhilan's sudden appearance, but now she was so frightened by Zhuo Xiangyu's mischievous treatment that she jumped up directly from the ground. When he found out that it was Zhuo Xiangyu, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, slapped him twice as if he was angry, and then bent down to pick up the wooden box that he threw on the ground and handed it to Zhuo Xiangyu.
"Oh, I found it after rummaging through it, and your father-in-law is really weird to hide things, first digging holes in the wall and blocking them with murals, and then digging holes in the ground with tiles."
Zhuo Xiangyu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and replied to her when he heard the little woman's complaints, "Even if you hide it again, won't you find it?" Last time, so many of us didn't find it, you found it all alone. β
Xu Yueqing heard the ridicule in his words, and did not refute it, only snorted at him, and then looked through Zhuo Xiangyu's tall body to find Fang Zhilan's figure, "What about Zhilan?" Wasn't she still here, where did she run away for a while? β
Zhuo Xiangyu didn't know why Fang Zhilan deliberately ran away even though she knew that Xu Yueqing had found a clue, but she didn't want Xu Yueqing to keep worrying about her, so she replied casually, "I know you found a clue, so go and inform the fifth uncle!" β
Xu Yueqing was obviously satisfied with Zhuo Xiangyu's statement, and quickly turned her attention back to the small wooden box she found in the dark grid, and then pretended to approach Zhuo Xiangyu mysteriously and asked quietly: "What secrets do you think this box contains?" β
Zhuo Xiangyu looked at Xu Yueqing with an idiot look, but the movements in his hands were very neat, "Just open it and take a look." β
But as soon as the box came, both of them were dumbfounded.
Xu Yueqing couldn't help but rub her eyes, but there were still a few pieces of burned paper in front of her, which made her pull Zhuo Xiangyu's sleeve, "What the hell is this?" β
Zhuo Xiangyu glanced at the timeless and powerful handwriting on the paper, frowned and spit out a word, "Letter." β
Xu Yueqing was shocked when she heard this, she pulled the man's sleeve excitedly, and asked with a gossip and curiosity: "Is it a love letter written to him by other young and beautiful girls when your stepfather was young, or else your stepmother wrote it to your stepfather?" β
Zhuo Xiangyu no longer responded to Xu Yueqing, but looked at the handwriting clearly visible on it and was stunned, the person who can write such strong handwriting is definitely not a woman, and of course it cannot be the words written by his familiar father-in-law.
Zhuo Xiangyu, who was pulled back to her senses by Xu Yueqing, listened to her ears and kept guessing the source of the letter, and couldn't help but raise her hand and knock her head with a dumb smile, "Okay, don't guess anymore, let's take the letter to the fifth uncle to read!" When the time comes, just ask him any questions. β
Xu Yueqing thought about it and felt that it was very reasonable, so she ran downstairs with a small box to find Fang Zhengzhi.
At this time, Fang Zhengzhi was still immersed in the grief that Fang Wenguo was most likely the murderer, and when he heard the maid say that Xu Yueqing was looking for him, he thought that she was coming to settle accounts for her parents, although his heart was sour, he could only helplessly meet it.
But the truth was not as Fang Zhengzhi thought, I saw Xu Yueqing sitting on the sofa in the living room with a small wooden box on her face, and as soon as she saw him, she immediately handed the box in her arms to him as if offering a treasure, "Fifth Uncle Fang, you can see that I have found a new clue in your third brother's study." β
Fang Zhengzhi half-convinced and moved his gaze to Zhuo Xiangyu, who was sitting calmly on the sofa, and saw him nod lightly before taking the box and opening it.
Surprisingly, Fang Zhengzhi showed great shock when he saw the burned and mutilated letterhead, "This letter, this letter ......"
He stammered several times and didn't say anything, but just from Fang Zhengzhi's expression when he saw the letter, Xu Yueqing knew that he must know who the person who wrote the letter was, and couldn't help but pester him again and ask about the gossip.
"Fifth Uncle Fang, you know who the person who wrote the letter is, right? Do you know what her relationship with your third brother is? Why did she write to your third brother? Have you seen this letter before? β
A large list of questions were thrown out like bullets in a machine gun, but the person asked was the same as Zhuo Xiangyu's previous reaction, as if he had entered some memory, and was silent and did not answer any questions from Xu Yueqing.
"You all read this letter one by one, as if you had fallen into an evil spirit, and you didn't say anything!"
Hearing Xu Yueqing's complaint, Zhuo Xiangyu reluctantly pulled her to sit down beside him, and asked her to wait quietly for Fang Zhengzhi to give an answer.
Finally, when Xu Yueqing's patience was about to disappear, the distracted Fang Zhengzhi finally looked away from the broken letter, Xu Yueqing did not let go of his trembling hands, only to see his depressed face, "This letter was written by the fourth brother!" β
"What?" Xu Yueqing couldn't believe it, the "she" in her mouth was not "her" but the old Sifang Chengzhi of the Fang family, it took a long time for Xu Yueqing to come back from her surprise, and she was a little embarrassed and said: "This is not a love letter?" β
Zhuo Xiangyu rubbed the hair of the little woman in his arms helplessly, and said amazingly, "If I'm not mistaken, this is a suicide note." β
If Fang Zhengzhi's words surprised Xu Yueqing, then Zhuo Xiangyu's words brought her not only surprise, but shock, which was enough to make her jump up from the sofa all of a sudden, and Zhuo Xiangyu, who was not mentally prepared, was accidentally knocked on the chin by her reckless movements.
Before Zhuo Xiangyu could accuse the little woman for two sentences, he heard her open her mouth in an incredulous tone, "If you put it together, it means that this is a suicide note left by Fang Chengzhi?" β
Fang Zhengzhi nodded with difficulty, and Zhuo Xiangyu unfolded the mutilated letter on the coffee table, "Although this letter is mutilated, there are still some contents in it that can be identified." β
"Seeing the letter, my brother is not here, may my brother be safe......"
"Big brother, you may complain about me, I ...... do this"
"I'm also a member of the Fang family, there's no reason to ......"
