Chapter 146: Victims of the Conspiracy
It turned out that the first will was written when the two were newly married, like glue, and with the passage of time, the two continued to have quarrels, which intensified, and not long ago, they were on the verge of divorce. Li Mengru had to change his original intention and write a second will.
So he has changed his mind? Otherwise, the lawyer will not come. Has he made up his mind to give his property to those two old wicked women......
Not long ago, when they were arguing for a divorce, Li Mengru persuaded her to sell her jewelry, exchange it for cash, and spend 500,000 gold yuan to buy the natural pearl necklace.
An Xueru finally complied, however, the necklace was still swapped out, and if Li Mengru didn't give a little property in the second will, she would be worthless.
At that time, she will be exhausted, and sooner or later she will be kicked out of the house, where can she go? She has no relatives in this world, her parents died early, and she is penniless, so she can only beg along the streets except for the almshouse.
The point is, once the drunken life of years of paper fans collapses, how can she bear the great grief of losing it all?
"Li Mengru won't put me to death like this, right?"
Li Mengru's dying words swirled around her mind, casting a shadow over her heart. An Xueru has been restless at night for a few days, because the day of the announcement of the new will is coming, and An Xueru is about to say goodbye to the life of the superior upper class.
The final time has finally arrived, and An Xueru is at a loss for an unsettled future. Anxiety and sorrow eclipsed An Xueru's face, she was about to be driven crazy, and her eyes emitted fierce flames.
At this time, an uninvited guest came - Lang Xiaobai. Lang Xiaobai's new image surprised his wife.
Lang Xiaobai had already abandoned his old black coat and was wearing an expensive suit, and he put his top hat on his chest. The metal-like face that had been there earlier also changed, full of red light and full of spirit. "Madame, let me express my thoughts for your misfortune and sorrow." Lang Xiaobai's gentle words soothed his heart.
An Xueru, who was tormented by neglect and grief, heard Lang Xiaobai's words, tears filled her eyes, and she was about to fall. She told Lang Xiaobai what her husband said before he died, especially the situation of the second will.
Lang Xiaobai patiently listened to An Xueru's statement before saying, "Madam, you are a victim of a conspiracy."
"What the hell is going on?"
"Everything was arranged by Li Mengru. He did it, and he had already found a place to hide a natural pearl necklace. β
"This ......"
"This is Li Mengru's revenge on you. Because he hates you in his heart, if the impact on you is insignificant, he loses the meaning of revenge, so he chooses the most unforgettable and painful method for you, so that you can never forget it for the rest of your life. β
"He had just imagined that you would lose the necklace, but then perhaps he wasn't happy enough, so he resorted to a more shady trick by first lying that the faucet needed to be repaired, and then when the repairman came, he ordered the worker to do what he wanted at the cost of paying a high salary."
"The situation is roughly as follows: Li Mengru bends the sewer pipe leading to the outside slightly upward, and the workers do so, and then take the money and go to enjoy themselves."
"Li Mengru took advantage of your nap to steal the natural pearl necklace from the secret safe, and then hid the necklace in the crook of the sewer. Li Mengru's death is approaching, and when he returns to the light, he asks you for water to drink. You didn't turn off the faucet in your hurry, and the water that flowed out kept accumulating, and you washed away the hidden necklace...... The reason why Li Mengru has a mysterious smile is that he saw that you have destroyed all your wealth with your own hands. β
Lang Xiaobai's words made An Xueru pause, and all her doubts before her husband's death were relieved. Li Mengru smirked proudly at his "masterpiece".
"I never thought he hated me so much, and I don't know until now what he was thinking...... Not only did he make me lose my necklace, but he also left me no possessions. β
An Xueru's tears soaked the handkerchief in her hand, and her heart was full of sadness. "But, ma'am, the necklace is still in my hand."
As he spoke, Lang Xiaobai took out the dazzling natural pearl necklace. An Xueru was stunned and lost her voice.
"I promise this is your natural pearl necklace, not a cultured pearl necklace."
"How is it ...... How is it in your hands?"
"I found it based on my inference. The recontracting scheme that happened in the safe, as well as the loss of the wrench by the worker, the repair of the faucet, and the sudden generosity of the repair worker, I concluded that it was a conspiracy of Li Mengru. During our joint search of the mansion, I found the real necklace and secretly took it out. β
"When you were in a hurry and forgot to turn off the faucet, Li Mengru thought that he was done, and the natural pearl necklace was placed in the safe of our office."
"I see."
An Xueru only realized at this moment that she had always misunderstood Lang Xiaobai, thinking that he was terrifying and murderous, and when she saw that metallic face at first glance, she was full of doubts about him, but she didn't expect him to be so magical. Thinking about it, she bowed deeply to Lang Xiaobai.
"Thank you so much, you have made me understand so much, how can I reward you? You are so magical. β
"No, our detective agency is not for profit, and those who have been wronged can get justice from us, and we don't have to worry about the reward."
"Yes...... I have nothing to repay you, and I am troubled. β
"Since Madame insists on thanking me, please give me your pearl necklace, this is what I want the most."
"What? This...... This ......"
"Of course I can't take such a precious treasure for nothing. I want you to sell it to me, and it is said that you paid half a million gold dollars to buy it. β
"Yes, I paid the jeweler half a million gold dollars for it."
"So, I'll pay ten million gold dollars for itβtwenty times its original price."
"What? Ten million?"
"Yes, Li Mengru's inheritance totals about 10 million gold yuan, although the second surviving family has canceled your inheritance qualifications, Li Mengru intends to let his cousin inherit it."
"I know that the lawyer told me that he had made another will."
"Still, I'd like to buy this necklace. We don't aim to make a profit, I'm destitute, where do I get so much money, I can use cash vouchers to trade with you. β
After speaking, Lang Xiaobai took out a small envelope from a large envelope. "This is the second will."
"What?"
In the will, Li Mengru handed over his property to his cousin, and the format of the will was completely in accordance with the law, signed, stamped and witnessed by a lawyer, and Li Mengru's property was equivalent to 10 million gold yuan. When its contents are published, the first copy has no effect. Madame will not be penny. β
"Those two old evil women are not worthy of inheriting this huge amount of property, they will be unkind to the rich, and will never be kind to the poor, although Li Mengru was very disgusted with their vitriolic and mean things, and rarely interacted. Before dying, in order to carry out his revenge. He summoned them and left them his possessions to stimulate you. β
"I've figured out the situation. When I took out the necklace, I also took the will out of the drawer. β
"You're not just ......"
"Yes, I'm both a detective and a thief."
Lang Xiaobai smiled and put the will on the table, bowed to An Xueru, and walked out of Li Mengru's mansion.
An Xueru looked at his suddenly tall figure, and suddenly felt that he was personable, really like an understanding gentleman.
Lang Xiaobai walked to the door, suddenly turned around, and said to An Xueru:
"This inheritance of 10 million should be able to eliminate your hatred for Li Mengru and let Li Mengru's spirit in heaven rest in peace!"
"Li Mengru's loneliness and perverseness make him hate you to the extreme, and even more because he cares about you too much. Now, you can be a social flower again. That fake natural necklace is not as valuable as a natural one, but it will shine when it hangs on your beautiful neck. β
"Goodbye, ma'am!"
Xiao Bai smiled, his posture was elegant, and he left.
