Shangzhou, Zhao Mansion.

Lin Feng looked at the table full of food and viciously took a bite of the big naan he had brought.

Sun Fujia and Wei Zheng glanced at each other, and also bit the naan.

Zhao Minglu looked at Lin Feng and the others blankly, and couldn't help but say, "Engong, why don't you eat?" ”

Lin Feng smiled kindly: "It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, we must adhere to a simple attitude to life, you can eat if you want, don't worry about us." ”

Sun Fujia glanced at Lin Feng and took another bite of the big naan...... It seems to be true, but the truth is that they are afraid of death.

Lin Feng secretly met with Sun Fujia and Wei Zheng last night and informed them about the third party.

The two of them immediately expressed their shock and emotion, and praised Lin Feng for really knowing what was going on, and he really guessed correctly!

Then Lin Feng told them that the enemy was in the dark and they were in the light, and everything in the Zhao Mansion should be cautious, especially when eating and drinking, and try to only eat what they carry.

After all, Zhou Wan'er was poisoned, in case the third party was worried about being exposed, and he went to the extreme and poisoned them, then they would really die unjustly.

So, that's where we are now...... They couldn't move their chopsticks when they looked at the delicious food on the table, and could only bite into the dry baked naan.

Lin Feng looked at Zhao Minglu while chewing the naan vigorously, and said, "Zhao Gongzi, how is Zhou Wan'er's popularity in your Zhao Mansion?" ”

When Sun Fujia heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately understood what Lin Feng meant.

Lin Feng had already determined that there was a third party last night, so now there is a question - what is the motive of the third party to kill Zhou Wan'er?

Zhao Minglu has a reasonable motive, but what about the third party?

Why did he have to kill Zhou Wan'er?

Did you have a feud with Zhou Wan'er?

Or is there something else that is currently unknown?

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Zhao Minglu swallowed the food in his mouth first, then put the dishes and chopsticks away, and then sat down and said: "She likes luxury, her personality is perverse and jealous, and everyone else doesn't like her too much." ”

Seeing Zhao Minglu's serious reply, Lin Feng also silently put down the roasted naan in his hand, in his previous life, he was used to discussing the case while eating, and forgot the rule that the ancients paid attention to food and did not sleep and did not speak.

He continued: "Can you give an example? Detailed down to each one. ”

Zhao Minglu thought for a while and said, "My aunt is here...... When Zhao Wan'er first got married, her father loved her very much and accompanied her almost every day, but when my father occasionally went to my aunt's place to rest, she would be unhappy, always pestering her father and letting him coax her. ”

Jealous and possessive grinding goblins?

Lin Feng nodded and motioned for Zhao Minglu to continue.

"Not to mention my aunt, my aunt is a strong person, always likes to control everything, always likes to point fingers at the affairs of the house, she dresses up every day, and likes luxury, does not wear non-precious jewelry, does not eat non-precious medicinal materials...... My aunt had a great opinion of her, but she ignored her at all because of her father's favor. ”

"So the two often quarreled, and every time they quarreled."

This belongs to the tip of the needle.

When the two non-fuel-efficient lamps came together, Lin Feng could imagine how lively the Zhao Mansion was.

"What about Zhao Yanran?" Lin Feng asked.

Zhao Minglu said: "Yanran was a little cowardly when she was first picked up by her father, and she was very careful with everyone, for fear of being disliked, so she was a relatively pleasant person who could get along with Zhou Wan'er at the beginning, but after a long time, Yanran also saw Zhou Wan'er's temperament, Zhou Wan'er pointed fingers at Yanran like a maid, and Yanran slowly stayed away from Zhou Wan'er. ”

It's a human insulator, right?

It is also a talent to be able to be so poorly popular.

Lin Feng couldn't help but recall the contents of the house fight on the paper on the dresser in Zhou Wan'er's room, which also verified Zhao Minglu's words.

He lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "So, in fact, except for you, the rest of your family is also dissatisfied with Zhou Wan'er, in other words...... If there is a third party, in terms of motivation, they are all possible. ”

Zhao Minglu's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Aunt won't, and Yanran definitely won't." ”

What do you say...... You might as well just read your aunt's ID number and tell me she's most likely to get it.

Lin Feng looked at Zhao Minglu and said, "Don't be in a hurry to refute. ”

"Your aunt's place, as soon as Zhou Wan'er came, she snatched all your father's favor, and even your father treated your aunt well, she was jealous and noisy...... Do you think your aunt will have no hatred in her heart? Won't you feel that Zhou Wan'er took away her father-in-law? ”

"And as long as Zhou Wan'er is dead, your father-in-law will definitely return to her, do you think she doesn't want Zhou Wan'er to disappear from now on?"

Zhao Minglu was stunned: "This ......"

Lin Feng continued: "Not to mention your aunt, she clearly regarded herself as a person in the house, but as a result, she was all safe before, and suddenly a disobedient Zhou Wan'er appeared, challenged her authority, and fought against her every day. ”

Lin Feng looked at Zhao Minglu: "From your aunt's performance last night, it can be seen that she doesn't even want you, a relative, to come back and seize power with her, so do you think your aunt doesn't want this disobedient Zhou Wan'er to disappear?" ”

Thinking of his aunt's incident last night, Zhao Minglu's expression couldn't help but be a little gloomy.

"And Zhao Yanran ......"

Lin Feng thought for a while and said, "She is a lonely girl, and she suddenly suffered an accident in life, which is the most timid and dazed time...... Then she came to your Zhao Mansion, thinking that she could invest in a warm place, but she never wanted to be called by Zhou Wan'er as a maidservant and pointed fingers......"

"Will she be resentful of all these encounters? Do you want this bad woman Zhou Wan'er to disappear directly? ”

Zhao Minglu was silent for a long time before he sighed: "In this way, how do you feel as if everyone is suspicious." ”

Lin Feng smiled: "I haven't said anything about your uncle who has a dodgy gaze and a hearty stomach." ”

"Your uncle has obviously done something wrong, seeing that you and I are very weak-hearted, he may also have something to do with Zhou Wan'er."

"But ......"

His voice changed: "Being motivated doesn't mean that you will really do it, the reason why people are human is because they have a bottom line and a conscience, and they will not hurt people's lives completely by their preferences." ”

"I'm saying this just to remind you...... Next, no matter who you face in the Zhao Mansion, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't disclose anything about the case, so as not to affect our next investigation. ”

Zhao Minglu nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I understand!" ”

Lin Feng bowed slightly, he picked up the water bag on his waist, took a big sip of water, rushed the baked naan dregs in his mouth into his stomach, and said, "You said before that before Zhou Wan'er died, your father slapped Zhou Wan'er and got very angry, because of this incident, you suspected that the poison was caused by your father, what is going on?" ”

"Didn't you say that your father dotes on Zhou Wan'er very much? If your father doesn't spoil her, she won't be arrogant like this with a concubine. ”

As soon as Zhao Minglu grabbed the chopsticks, he silently put them down again.

"It was a theft," he said. ”

"Theft?" Lin Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, and guessed: "Zhou Wan'er stole something?" ”

Zhao Minglu nodded.

"Three days before Zhou Wan'er died, she secretly entered my father's treasure room and wanted to steal my father's valuable treasures, but she was discovered."

Lin Feng was puzzled: "Isn't your father very good to her?" It shouldn't make her so bad that she needs to steal, right? ”

Zhao Minglu nodded: "My father has always been generous to her, jewelry is the most valuable, food and clothing are also the best, and she is indeed not short of money." ”

"But ......"

Zhao Minglu looked at Lin Feng and said, "Does Engong still remember Zhou Wan'er's younger brother?" It's the bastard who calculated me with Zhou Wan'er, and even designed to harm my father together. ”

Lin Feng nodded: "Of course." ”

How could he have forgotten this wonderful...... After all, not every younger brother can calculate his sister's sons with his sister, and he has to use medicine to hand over his sister's innocence.

Zhao Minglu said: "The reason why Zhou Wan'er went to steal things was for her bastard brother Zhou Mo. ”

"Zhou Mo is a gambler, he usually likes to go to the gambling house to gamble money, but he has no luck, he loses once he gambles, he doesn't stop when he loses, and he borrows money everywhere to continue gambling, and then continues to lose."

"When there is no money, the debtor will be in debt, he will come to our Zhao family and ask his sister for help, although Zhou Wan'er is harsh on others, but she is very concerned about her only brother, as long as Zhou Mo comes to ask for money, she will give it."

"She had no money in her hand, so she gave Zhou Mo the jewelry that my father bought for her, and asked Zhou Mo to exchange money."

Lin Feng listened quietly, not surprising the relationship between Zhou Wan'er and Zhou Mo, this situation was not uncommon in later generations.

"But Zhou Mo is a bottomless pit, Zhou Wan'er is not enough with her own jewelry, she can only beg my father, she also finds all kinds of excuses to lie, saying that Zhou Mo is sick, how to say Zhou Mo...... Let my father help. ”

"My father loves her very much, so naturally he doesn't think much about it, so he helps Zhou Mo."

"But paper can't contain fire after all, and the day will come when lies and excuses will be exposed, my father finally knows the truth."

Lin Feng nodded, Zhao Deshun can do such a big business, how can he be easily coaxed?

"This made my father very angry, and what my father hated most in his life was people who were addicted to gambling, and what he looked down on the most was gamblers."

Zhao Minglu said: "So my father directly cut off Zhou Wan'er's money, and warned Zhou Wan'er not to help Zhou Mo that gambler again, if Zhou Mo is willing to turn back, my father is willing to find a good livelihood for Zhou Mo, if Zhou Mo does not repent and continues to gamble, then Zhou Mo will die." ”

When Lin Feng heard this, he couldn't help but have a good impression of Zhao Deshun, a person who had never had face-to-face contact.

In front of him, there seems to be such a loving heir, with a clear view of right and wrong, as well as a decisive and kind person.

Zhao Deshun seemed to ruthlessly reject Zhou Wan'er, but he was actually helping Zhou Mo.

With Zhao Deshun's life experience, how can he not understand what kind of abyss gambling is, he said this, he also hoped that Zhou Wan'er would force Zhou Mo to break the gambling and return to a normal life trajectory, and even if Zhou Wan'er deceived him like this, he was willing to provide Zhou Mo with a living.

It's a pity that some people can't help it, and they don't understand the good intentions of others at all.

And such a person who has experienced the ups and downs of the shopping mall and is so decisive and decisive...... Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, would he really commit suicide in prison?

Zhao Minglu continued: "My father didn't give Zhou Wan'er money, but Zhou Mo didn't repent, he still continued to gamble, continued to lose, and owed countless debts when he lost, he came to Zhou Wan'er for help, but Zhou Wan'er didn't have any money, and finally ......"

He looked at Lin Feng: "Zhou Wan'er has the idea of stealing. ”

Lin Feng nodded, and he said, "Zhou Wan'er lived up to your father's expectations and didn't listen to your father, so your father beat her in anger?" ”

Zhao Minglu shook his head: "If that's all, with my father's love for Zhou Wan'er, he won't beat her." ”

"Oh?"

Lin Feng was a little stunned: "What else did Zhou Wan'er do?" ”

Zhao Minglu said: "She wanted to steal something, but she didn't succeed, she was found and caught by her subordinates, when my father asked her, Zhou Wan'er actually denied it, she said she didn't go to steal, she said she went to catch thieves." ”

"She said there was another thief in the treasure room, and she followed him when she saw the thief enter."

Lin Feng sat up straight suddenly, his eyes flashed, and said, "There is another thief?" ”

Zhao Minglu said: "Fake, she lied, when she was arrested, she was holding several valuable jewelry in her hand, who would steal something from the thief?" ”

"Besides, after my father heard this, he also sent someone to search for it, but it turned out that there was not even a single fly, let alone a thief."

"She deceived my father many times, and accused my father of just watching her brother die and not saving him, which completely angered my father and made my father slap her."

Everything is clear, there are cracks in the relationship between Zhou Wan'er and Zhao Deshun, and even the motive for killing is also understood.

But...... Is the thief Zhou Wan'er said really a lie?

Sun Fujia looked at Lin Feng and said in a low voice, "Zide, what do you think?" ”

Obviously, Sun Fujia was also a little skeptical.

Lin Feng pondered: "I really can't help but care...... After all, just three days after Zhou Wan'er said that there was another thief, she was killed. ”

"And since she has been arrested and stolen, at this time, there is no need for her to look for another thief's excuse, who can believe this clumsy excuse...... Besides, she knows Zhao Deshun, and knows that what Zhao Deshun dislikes the most is deception, stealing things is enough to make Zhao Deshun dislike, why should she continue to tell such an easy to verify lie to provoke Zhao Deshun? ”

Unless......

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, unless...... She's telling the truth.

He looked at Zhao Minglu and asked, "When Zhou Wan'er identified another thief, did she ever tell who that thief was?" ”

Zhao Minglu was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Lin Feng meant, and he couldn't help but say, "Engong, don't you suspect that there really is this thief?" ”

Lin Feng touched his chin and said, "It's always right to know more about the situation of the deceased before his death." ”

Zhao Minglu thought for a long time before he said: "She said that she saw a shadow, and she was discovered before she could catch the thief." ”

"So she doesn't know who the thief is?"

"I don't know."

Lin Feng was thoughtful.

Really don't know? Or did you not know it at the time, but later guessed who it was?

No, there are still too few clues.

There is no way to form a complete logical chain, and there is no way to make deeper reasoning.

Lin Feng frowned and pondered, thinking if he could find out some problems from the side, or logically.

While he was thinking about it, he heard Sun Fujia's voice sound.

Sun Fujia looked at Zhao Minglu and said, "Zhou Wan'er wants to save her brother, but she completely annoys your father, and she no longer has any source of money, in order to save Zhou Mo...... That's why they're going to hit you with their ideas. ”

Zhao Minglu nodded: "It should be so." ”

In order to save Zhou Mo, he hit Zhao Minglu with the idea......

"That's not right!"

Lin Feng's mind suddenly flashed with a flash of inspiration, he suddenly looked at Zhao Minglu, and said, "I remember your confession in the file, after Zhou Wan'er's sister and brother calculated you, you were at a loss and left in anger, you didn't say that you gave them back the money." ”

Zhao Minglu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "They just said that I should be obedient in the future, and they really didn't ask me for any money...... But it could also be that I left so angrily that I walked too fast and they didn't have time to speak. ”

Lin Feng shook his head: "The money in the gambling house in this world is the most indebted, and if it is a little late, the casino will dare to unload Zhou Mo's legs." ”

"And Zhou Mo was forced to give you his sister's innocence and use it to coerce you...... Since he has managed to scare you, how can he not ask you for money to pay the debt? ”

"Even if you leave quickly, he didn't have time to say anything at the time, and he will definitely catch up with what you asked for quickly, and in that case, you won't dare not give it at all."

Zhao Minglu was stunned for a long time, frowned, and said, "That's really the case...... He asked me at the time, and my head was messed up like that, and I might not dare to refuse. ”

"That's strange...... Sun Fujia was puzzled: "He calculated with his sister for money, but why didn't he ask you for money directly?" ”

"There's only one possibility!"

Lin Feng thought of something, straightened his back directly, and his eyes flashed: "At that time, he had already obtained a sum of money, which was able to solve his urgent needs...... Therefore, Zhou Mo and Zhou Wan'er did not ask for Zhao Minglu directly, what they wanted was to control Zhao Minglu for a long time, not for short-term interests. ”

Wei Zheng, who had been listening quietly on the side, couldn't help but speak at this time: "But isn't Zhou Wan'er's money cut off?" Where did she get the money for Zhou Mo? ”

The corners of Lin Feng's mouth raised slightly, and he seemed to smile and said, "Perhaps...... Did some thief send it on his own initiative? ”

Thief?

Take the initiative to send it?

Brush it up!

A flash of inspiration flashed in Sun Fujia's mind, and he hurriedly looked at Lin Feng and said, "Could it be!?" ”

Lin Feng immediately got up and said, "Let's go, go and ask Zhou Mo, don't you know?" ”
