Chapter 21: Lang Xiaobai is warned
The detective and Lang Xiaobai rode together in a police car and drove to the prison.
As soon as the car arrived at the prison gate, the warden ran out in a panic, his face very pale.
"Warden, what's going on?"
"Mrs. Xiao Xiurong......"
"What's wrong with Madame?"
"Suicide!"
"Huh?"
"I just called to report to the Security Service."
"What is she...... When did you commit suicide?"
"I woke up in the morning and found it. The corpse is ...... over here."
The detective and Lang Xiaobai walked over with the warden.
The corpse was parked in the medical room, and the skin of the whole body showed brown spots, and at a glance it was known that it was poisoned and died, and the symptoms were very similar to those of Agent Wang Lin, Fu Yude, and Fu Yucheng.
"Where did her poison needle come from?"
"This vial and the needle were found under her pillow."
"Oh? Who gave it to her?"
"Haven't found out yet." The warden replied.
The inspector glanced at Lang Xiaobai's face.
The same poison, the same method, what's going on? Did the lady herself get the poison shot? Or did Fu Yucheng become a ghost after his death to poison his wife? An indescribable horror made Lang Xiaobai's face pale.
"It's so pathetic! The lady committed suicide in grief and anger because she couldn't wash away the grievances of killing her husband and son!" Lang Xiaobai said with infinite grief.
"Although Fu Yucheng's confession can exonerate his wife from suspicion, it is too late." The Inspector's voice was also very painful.
"Nope! Detective, Mrs. thought that there was no way to clear the suspicion of murder, so she committed suicide. β
"Why?"
"Have you forgotten her tooth marks? Those canine-like tooth marks must have been left by the murderer. And the lady's tooth marks are the same as the murderer's tooth marks, which is undeniable. Madame must have committed suicide for this reason. β
"That tooth mark, it's so weird! How could the tooth marks on Madame's bite be the same as the tooth marks on the apples you picked up in the yard and the chocolate candy that Agent Wang Lin brought back?...... What do you think about this question?"
"So far, I dare not draw conclusions, but we can be sure that Madame is not the murderer. Therefore, this tooth mark is another mystery...... "Lang Xiaobai also felt helpless.
The Mystery of the Dogtooth...... That's right! If there is no way to unravel this mystery, it cannot be said that Madame is absolutely innocent, so she will hate her under the Nine Springs!
"Alright! I'm definitely going to get to the bottom of it. Lang Xiaobai thought so in his heart and secretly swore an oath.
However, three days later, in the detention center, Rhodes actually tore the sheets into strips of cloth and committed suicide by hanging himself.
Next to his corpse, there were many clipped-out newspapers scattered around. In every newspaper, there was news about the suicide of the wife. Therefore, everyone concluded that he committed suicide due to excessive grief after seeing the news of his wife's suicide.
Who brought in the news report of his wife's suicide to Rhodes? In the detention center, which has always been heavily guarded, it is reasonable to say that such a thing cannot happen.
Of course, the purpose of the newspaper delivery was to make Rhodes feel disheartened when he saw the news of his wife's suicide, so he ended his life immediately.
"Brother Hao! Oops!"
A few days later, as soon as Li Yunshan entered Lang Xiaobai's house, he told him in a panic; "People outside are talking about you being the real killer!"
"What are they making up?"
"Every newspaper published in great detail the deaths of Madame and Rod Cai. Therefore, everyone thinks that in order to embezzle Mosk's inheritance of 20 million gold yuan, after killing Fu Yucheng's father and son, you murdered your wife and Luo Cai by bizarre means. In this way, you will naturally be the only heir to that vast fortune.
"What's worse is that Deputy Inspector Lu Pei has decided to come and arrest you. To prevent you from escaping, he sent me to spy on you. He will lead his men here in an hour. Brother Hao! Run away, time is running out!"
"No, if I escape, they will definitely hold you accountable!"
"You don't have to worry about that, I'll figure out how to explain it for myself. Because so far no one knows that I am your brother, they still think that I am a faithful security guard. So one or two negligences are also reasonable. β
"If that's the case, then I'll go to No. 146 Changqing Street for the time being to avoid the noise. I've rented a small house there under the pseudonym of Lucock. So, Lang Xiaobai went to Changqing Street to hide temporarily.
In order to investigate the source of the poison and injection needles used by Xiao Xiurong to commit suicide, the Security Bureau spent several days, tried all methods, thoroughly investigated, and interrogated many people involved in the case, but still found nothing. The source of the newspaper that lured Rhodes to commit suicide has been investigated several times, but it has not been fruitful.
Mosk's relatives have all passed away, so Inspector Wu Changhao decided to hold a meeting on the inheritance on June 9. He ordered his men to immediately notify the attendance of the officers concerned.
Since in Mosk's suicide note, Lang Xiaobai was designated as the last heir, so he also saw the notice of the meeting.
On the afternoon of June 9, Li Yunshan came to Lang Xiaobai.
"Brother Lang, look at these strange letters. The recipient of the envelope is me, but the letter is addressed to you. β
Lang Xiaobai opened the letter casuallyββ
Warning Lang Xiaobai:
You'd better leave now and don't meddle in this matter again, or you'll be poisoned in the same way, and your life will be in danger!
"Humph! Lang Xiaobai was dismissive, and then asked, "That guy must not know my address before he sent the letter to you." Hey? No, why isn't there a stamp on the envelope? It must have been delivered by someone. Who gave it to you?"
