"Mr. Zhou! You have a drink, too!"

Lu Meizhong staggered to his feet and pushed the wine in the cup to Lang Xiaobai's side......

Lang Xiaobai sent the drunk Lu Meizhong back to the hotel. On the second day, Lang Xiaobai invited him to drink again.

This time, Lu Meizhong was drunk again, he opened his wallet and took out a large pile of 100 yuan bills, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Come on, I'll pay today, everyone come and have a drink!"

Not only did he order a glass of wine for all the guests in the bar, but he also gave a lot of tips to the waiter.

"Hey! How can you squander like that?" Lang Xiaobai deliberately admonished him.

Lu Meizhong raised her hazy drunken eyes and stared at Lang Xiaobai, and then laughed wildly: "It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter if you spend all of the money. Do you know? Mr. Zhou, this money is as easy to come by as it gets!"

"Picked up? Really?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, they came to the door on their own. I got tired of the tedious and trivial work of clerking, so I quit...... I've saved enough money in the bank to spend. Just invite the guests to drink and have a good time......"

Lu Meizhong smiled triumphantly.

"What a pleasant life you have! Can you tell me where the money is coming from?"

"Oh, you can't say that."

A cautious look flashed in his eyes, and he shut up for a moment.

"Lu Meizhong, this person is too suspicious. It's unbelievable that he's just a small clerk and has such a large amount of money.

When I inquired about the source of the money, he was already dazed, but his look of alarm flashed immediately. This is so weird, there must be something inside.

"How did he get such a large sum of money? And the money seems to have come from nowhere. If this matter is investigated, it will definitely be useful in solving the case. ”

Lang Xiaobai thought to himself in his heart.

"This case seems to be inextricably linked to the inheritance of Mr. Xie Yunqing's estate. Although Mr. Xie Yunqing did not write a will when he died, he must have hidden a large amount of property in an unknown place. So, this person who wants to monopolize his property wants to poison Mr. Jiang Kai and the sisters.

"The three of them are people with the right to inherit the estate, and only the three of them can get Mr. Xie Yunqing's property, so as long as the three legal heirs are removed, the property can be easily taken into their hands. The person who did this must have such bad intentions, and he is the mysterious person lurking in Xiejiazhuang.

"This man also killed Granny Liu and her only son, Ah Mao, because the mother and son knew about his intrigues and greed."

Because of this thought in his heart, in order to investigate the whereabouts of Mr. Xie Yunqing's inheritance to determine whether he had secret property or whether he would transfer the property to others, Lang Xiaobai came to the Southern District again to meet with the notary Yan Junqing.

He got three very valuable clues from the notary's mouth:

First, Mr. Xie Yunqing loved Juanzi very much, and he intended to leave the manor to Juanzi, but he did not leave a will.

Second, Mr. Xie Yunqing's claim that he had refined pure gold from lead and successfully developed alchemy was simply unreasonable and unconvincing. However, the notary confirmed that the powder was gold. Of course, this statement must also be a kind of trickery.

Third, how did the clerk Lu Meizhong get a huge sum of 200,000 yuan? This is also a matter of suspicion. Moreover, he happened to resign to Mr. Yan Junqing on the morning of May 8, and Jiang Kai was murdered on that day.

"Lu Meizhong and Jiang Kai's murder must be inextricably linked, so as soon as I mentioned the matter of 200,000 yuan, he cautiously raised his vigilance, and there must be many hidden circumstances in between."

With this speculation, Lang Xiaobai invited Lu Meizhong to drink in the bar every day. Lang Xiaobai's tactics finally succeeded in the second week.

That day, Lu Meizhong was not as drunk as before, and after returning to the hotel, his face was gloomy, and he didn't know what was on his mind.

"Lu Meizhong! Why are you so listless? Would you like to have some more drinks?" Lang Xiaobai gently patted his shoulder with his hand, but he shook his head in refusal, and suddenly covered his face with his hand and cried loudly.

"What's wrong? Did you run into something tricky?"

Lang Xiaobai shook his shoulder, but Lu Meizhong cried more and more grief. After a short while, he finally slowly lifted his head.

"Mr. Zhou!"

He screamed like a howl.

"What's wrong with you? Lu Meizhong...... Are you in a quandary?"

"No, sir, I'm a big fool! I'm a piece of shit!"

"How do you say that? What's going on here? What's wrong?"

"Sir, I lied, I'm a badass, I've done a bad thing......"

"What?"

"Okay...... I'll tell you all about it...... One night, I met a gentleman on the street. Because he often came to the office to do business, I knew him, but I didn't know his name. The man called out to me and pulled out a large envelope.

"'Please put this envelope in Mr. Xie Yunqing's file.' He commanded me. After Mr. Xie Yunqing passed away, most of his letters and documents were kept in the vault of the notary office, and only Mr. Yan Junqing and I held the key to the vault.

"The large envelope that this man handed me had the words 'Will' written on it. Because the will is an important document, and it must not be arbitrarily sandwiched between other documents, I did not agree to his request. So, the man told me that if I did it for him, he would reward me with 100,000 yuan.

Still, I flatly refused and told him I couldn't do that. The man said, 'Well, 150,000...... What do you think? Okay, 200,000 yuan, I'll give you 200,000, what do you think?'

"For me, a little clerk, 200,000 yuan is nothing short of an astronomical amount. Even if I don't eat or drink in my life, I won't be able to make that much money. Originally, I planned to buy a piece of land in the countryside to build a house, so that I could spend my old age there after retirement, so my life has always been poor and simple, but it is impossible to save 200,000 yuan.

"Eventually, I couldn't resist the temptation anymore. I took the big envelope, and I must have been lost in my nature by money. The next day, I took advantage of the unpreparedness and quietly stuffed the large envelope into the vault papers, and received a huge sum of 200,000 yuan.

"But it didn't take long for me to regret what I had done. Ah, I betrayed my soul for a mere 200,000 yuan...... I don't know what the consequences of that will be......

"As soon as I thought about this, I couldn't stand working in the firm anymore, so I immediately submitted my resignation to Mr. Yan Junqing. When he asked me why, I lied to him and said, 'I won the grand prize of 200,000 yuan in the lottery ticket I bought before, so I plan to go to the countryside to buy a piece of land and a house, and live there in peace and contentment.'

"However, the 200,000 yuan is money obtained without conscience, so I will not use this money to buy land no matter what. I was going to return the money to the man, but he somehow disappeared and I haven't seen him since.

Lu Meizhong continued: "I was already timid, but now I am restless and worried all day because of the aggravation of guilt. To dispel this fear, I got drunk in the bar every day, ran from bar to bar, toasted anyone I could, and tipped the waiters handsomely.

"I thought I would be numbing my conscience by doing so, but I couldn't. and wept bitterly because of their sins. I was going to die, but I'm a Christian, and suicide is forbidden in Christianity. If I commit suicide, not only will my soul not ascend to heaven, but I will be sent to hell and tortured. When I thought of that tragic situation, I didn't dare to kill myself. Ah, I am a man who has fallen under the spell of the devil and has been spit on by God, and is about to go to hell......"

Lu Meizhong held her face with her hands and cried bitterly. Poor man, he turned out to be an honest and honest man, who became a slave to money because of a momentary vacillation, and he will have a troubled conscience in this life. Lang Xiaobai sighed and walked out silently.
