Chapter 185: The Murderer Is Someone Else
"You're talking nonsense! My husband always travels with me. ”
Bai Lang smiled and said, "I don't go with you every time, he used to go out alone." Although he was nominally traveling abroad, he actually registered a false name and stayed in a hotel on the other side of the river. As soon as dusk came, he went to the woods and hid in Granny Liu's small grass house.
Then, when late at night, he climbed over the walls of the manor and went into the courtyard to search for the document. However, no matter how hard he tried to spare every nook and cranny of the village, he still couldn't find the classified document, so he suspected that it might be under the river.
However, according to Mr. Xie Yunqing, most of the rivers belong to Juanzi and belong to her. So he moved the three willow trees that had been growing on the mound to the depression, so that you could own most of the river. ”
"You're talking nonsense! How could my husband do such a nasty and shameless thing?"
Lang Xiaobai ignored Xie Yan's shouting, and continued:
"Mr. Jiang Kai instructed Granny Liu's son, Ah Mao, to remove the three willow trees. After Granny Liu went insane, she often mentioned this incident to people outside, and I once heard her talk about the Three Trees.
So, I went to the inn to investigate, and for a while, your husband, Mr. Jiang Kai, stayed there. Although he used a fake name, the handwriting was not easy to obfuscate.
"Now, I have the handwriting that I ripped from the hotel registration." Lang Xiaobai patted his purse.
"In the same column of the registration book, there is another person's name, which was written by a woman."
"It's impossible! My husband would never stay in a hotel with another woman! You slandered my husband so badly? And you have already damaged his reputation, why do you insult him like this, what are your intentions?" Xie Yan said angrily.
"No, it's true!" Lang Xiaobai said quietly.
"Ah Mao planted a lot of weeds all over the place where the three willow trees used to grow, so after a while, there was no trace of the tree. At this time, Mr. Jiang Kai pretended to have just returned from a trip to other places, and after you arrived at the manor, he followed him. ”
Lang Xiaobai paused when he said this, Xiao Bin and Juanzi were eagerly waiting for him to continue, but Xie Yan closed his eyes tightly, as if he was deep in thought. Judging by her heaving chest, she was trying to restrain her agitation.
Lang Xiaobai continued:
"On the night after your husband Jiang Kai returned to the manor, he pretended to go out for a walk, went to Nancheng City, and bribed Lu Meizhong with 200,000 yuan to put his grandfather's will back in the notary's document vault.
"The next afternoon, Mr. Jiang Kai walked to the pigeon house on the island in search of the missing Juanzi, when a shot rang out, and your husband was shot in the heart and fell to the ground and died."
"So, it's getting tougher?" Xiao Bin interjected, and then continued: "According to you, Mr. Jiang Kai is an ambitious conspirator. But why was he assassinated again? Is there any other thug?"
"Not bad! The murderer was someone else, and he's still alive and well. It was this person who wanted to strangle Juanzi. Not only did he shoot Mr. Jiang Kai, but he also tried to kill the two of you. ”
Xie Yan and Juanzi looked at each other, and both of them were shocked.
"So what to do?" They all asked.
"Will you trust me and do exactly what I want?" Lang Xiaobai asked their sisters.
"That's natural, we'll do exactly what you tell us to do!" The sisters nodded in agreement.
"Thank you for trusting me so much. Stay in the manor for two more days, then.
"What do you say? Stay two more days...... In this dangerous manor?"
"Xiao Bin and I will accompany you at any time, you can relax. However, you must pretend to return to Dongzhou in a few days to show others, this is to relax the vigilance of the murderer, so you must pack your bags and publicly announce that you two sisters will return to Dongzhou on the 12th. ”
"To whom?"
"Whether it's the people in the village, or the servants Ah Cai, Ah Qiao, or the people next to them. Or call home at night. ”
"To the investigators, the local security guards, including the notary Yan Junqing and all the clerks, you must say that you left the manor on the 12th and returned to Dongzhou, and did not return until the spring of the following year, so they must all know."
"Why do you do that?" Xiao Bin asked in surprise.
"It's a strategy to deal with that elusive weirdo." Lang Xiaobai smiled slightly, and immediately called Ah Cai and Ah Qiao.
That night, the two of them led the other servants back to the manor.
When it was almost ten o'clock that night, when Lang Xiaobai was resting alone in the room, Xie Yan suddenly broke into the room.
"I have something to ask you, Mr. Zhou Guoxiong!" Her face turned pale, and her lips trembled.
"What's going on?"
"You just said that when my husband Jiang Kai lived in the hotel, there was a woman who was also there...... You also brought back a register with their names on it?"
"Yes, I got it back. You see, it's this piece of paper. ”
"What's my husband's name?"
"The one on the left. By the way, this Lady Qin Fu from Dongzhou, do you know?"
"No, I don't know."
"Where's the handwriting?"
"I haven't seen it either."
"Well, she must have deliberately changed her handwriting. However, if you analyze it carefully, you will understand that she has a routine. When she writes, she has a habit of leaning to the right. ”
"Habit...... So, have you seen what this woman wrote?"
"Yes, and I know the real name of the woman who writes."
Xie Yan's face was as white as paper, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes. She sat down on top of her couch, holding her face with her hands and weeping bitterly.
"I ...... You've got everything, right?"
"Yes, I know everything, and no matter how much you try to hide it, you can't escape my eyes. You'd better tell me the truth, and I'll take care of everything for you. Madam, I have no grievances with you, and I want to help you out of this situation wholeheartedly, I hope you don't get me wrong!"
"Yes...... I understand. I am a weak woman who obeys her husband's words. ”
"The woman who lived in the inn with Jiang Kai is Madame, right?"
"Not bad."
She replied in a deep voice.
"So, did you use the name Qin Fu to facilitate discussions with your husband?"
"Yes."
"I already know all this, but why would you do it?"
"Jiang Kai showed me the stolen will, which stated that I could get less land than my sister, but I could get 3.5 million yuan in compensation. But these compensation were neither cash nor deposits, but gold silt that my grandfather had refined himself.
"My husband and I didn't know where the gold sand was, and we couldn't find it, even though the will mentioned another piece of paper with the secret recipe for gold extraction. At that time, my wife and I were financially weak and needed money urgently, so we wanted to find gold sand as soon as possible. Moreover, in Jiang Kai's view, if a way to refine gold is found, there is no need to worry about financial problems. So, we started frantically searching for the secret recipe.
"In the end, I agreed with Jiang Kai that it was hidden at the bottom of the river or under the right bank slope. But that piece of land belonged to Juanzi, so my husband had the three willow trees removed and the dividing line changed...... Ah, I have committed an unpardonable sin......"
