Chapter 179: A Manor in Danger

"In the hall!"

Xiao Bin shouted loudly and immediately rushed to the hall.

Lang Xiaobai walked through the window to the middle of the courtyard and looked around with a flashlight, but found no suspicious signs. He returned to the hall and found Xiao Bin and Juanzi cooking Xie Yan who had fallen to the ground.

This time the person who was hit was her sister Xie Yan, but fortunately she was not hit by a bullet, but she was so frightened that she fainted. The bullet flew past Xie Yan's ear, hit the wall and bounced back. Xiao Bin finally picked up the bullet on the floor.

"If you get a centimeter closer, you'll hit her in the head."

After listening to Xiao Bin's words, Juanzi couldn't help but tremble, and her face turned pale with fright.

"Juanzi, this time the murderer may have confused you with your sister, and your situation will be even more dangerous in the future. So you'd better go out and get out of the limelight. ”

Lang Xiaobai said to Juanzi.

Juanzi trembled and nodded in agreement.

At night, everyone in the manor tossed and turned, people's nerves were tense, and the slightest wind and grass made people shudder. However, Lang Xiaobai slept unusually sweetly.

The next morning, Ah Choi and Ah Qiao, as well as the other servants, asked the owner of the manor to resign. Although the two sisters found it very troublesome, they could not be forced to stay in this dangerous manor.

Xiao Bin also returned to the farmhouse he had rented and told Lang Xiaobai: "I will go to that manor to keep a close surveillance, as long as the murderer reappears, I will definitely pounce on him immediately and arrest him."

"Well, you're in trouble. I'll put the two sisters in a safer place first, and then I'll go back to you. ”

Lang Xiaobai led the panicked sisters to rent a house in Dongzhou City, and then rushed to Shinan District non-stop to visit the notary Yan Junqing. He was a plump middle-aged man who looked polite.

"Mr. Yan, I am the entrusted agent of Sister Xie Yan of Xie Jiazhuang in Taojinqiao Village, my name is Zhou Guoxiong. I'm sure you've heard that Mr. Jiang Kai's matter has become an unsolved case. On behalf of the two sisters, I would like to ask you a few questions about this matter. Here are their power of attorneys, please take a look. ”

Lang Xiaobai took out the power of attorney that Juanzi had signed in the past:

In order to investigate the truth and ensure the safety of my own life, I have entrusted all powers to Mr. Zhou Guoxiong.

Xie Juan

"What's the matter with you?"

While asking, the notary returned the power of attorney that had been reviewed to Lang Xiaobai.

"In my opinion, this suspicious case is inseparably related to Mr. Xie Yunqing's will, so I specially came to ask for advice."

"You're welcome, if you have any questions, please just ask."

"When Mr. Xie Yunqing's father bought the manor in the Gold Rush Bridge, the sales contract was handled by you, right?"

"Not bad. However, that happened decades ago and was handled by my former notary. ”

"So, do you have a copy of the contract at that time?"

"Of course, of course, such an important document should be kept in a copy for future reference. So it's still kept in the vault here. ”

"Have you heard about Mr. Xie Yunqing's inheritance?"

"Yes, Mr. Xie Yunqing mentioned it to me, and I have told his granddaughter Xie Yan and Xie Juan all the details."

"Is there anything in it that is particularly beneficial to one of them?"

"No, there is absolutely no such thing. Of course, Mr. Xie Yunqing has always been dependent on Miss Juanzi, so he loves her very much. He may have intended to leave this manor to his sister Juanzi, but in fact, Mr. Xie Yunqing did not write such a will. ”

"Did he forget to leave a will?"

"I don't know. He was an extraordinary man, obsessed with the study of chemistry and alchemy all day long, so it was not impossible for him to forget to write a will. Oh yes, I think of one more detail.

"One day, Mr. Xie Yunqing rushed into my office excitedly and said to me: 'Mr. Yan, after a long time of study and exploration, I have succeeded! I've made gold, you see! As he spoke, he held up a golden test tube and placed it in front of my eyes, "Don't be frightened, this is gold, pure gold without a trace of impurities!" My experiment has finally succeeded, and this ancient alchemy has finally been mastered by me! For thousands of years, tens of thousands of alchemists have racked their brains to delve into exploration, but none of them have received results. So far, I am the only one who has studied alchemy, and I am the only one who has succeeded! Look at it, these are the gold dust I found in the lead!' After speaking, Mr. Xie Yunqing couldn't help but burst into tears. ”

"So, is the contents of the test tube really gold powder?"

"That's right, he gave me some. At first, I couldn't believe it was true, so I sent it to the chemistry lab at the university to test it, and it turned out to be real gold, which was incredible. ”

"Oh?"

Although he asked so, Lang Xiaobai's demeanor did not show surprise at all. "Actually, I think this mystery is more or less related to alchemy," he said.

"Why is that?"

Lang Xiaobai didn't answer directly.

"Oh, by the way, I also want to ask you a question, have any employees in your firm resigned in the last few days?"

"Yes, there was a clerk who had been working for me for a long time who left the company a few days ago."

"Who is he?"

"He was a dedicated, meticulous man, and I had a lot of trust in him. His life has always been poor and simple, and his colleagues think he is too frugal, but he doesn't think so. I knew that he was just trying to save money to buy a piece of land.

"Unexpectedly, not long ago, he suddenly offered me his resignation. When I asked him why he left his job, he explained that he had won the jackpot with the ticket he had bought, and that he had received $200,000. ”

"When did this happen?"

"It happened about a few weeks ago...... Yes, it was May 8th, because Mr. Jiang Kai was murdered on that day, so I remember it very clearly. ”

"So, did he use the 200,000 yuan to buy the land right away?"

"No, it's too suspicious. It is said that he lives in a luxurious and high-end hotel and lives a life of poverty and luxury, and if he continues like this, I am afraid that his 200,000 yuan will soon be squandered. ”

"So that's it, that person is ......"

"His name is Lu Meizhong."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Yan."

Lang Xiaobai left Yan Junqing's impartial office and went straight to Nandu. Around nine o'clock in the evening, he found Lu Meizhong in a hotel.

Lu Meizhong is a man of nearly fifty years old, with a tall and tall body, and his expression is very gloomy. Lang Xiaobai led him out of the hotel and went to the bar with him to drink. Lu Meizhong seemed to be very fond of drinking, the melancholy on his face was swept away, his mood was much brighter, and he began to talk about it incessantly.

"This guy is a lot!" Lang Xiaobai muttered to himself. Then, he poured strong liquor for Lu Meizhong. After a while, Lu Meizhong was drunk.
