661 Can’t Find the Murderer
Song Ci was speechless. She could not take it anymore!
Lan Xue snorted and took out a letter. “This letter was written by Young Master Lu’s father. It says, ‘Don’t forget what you should be doing. It’s time to avenge your mother!’”
Song Ci did not expect Lu Gan to have a line of revenge. She asked in confusion, “What’s going on?”
Lu Gan sighed helplessly. ‘Seven years ago, my mother was in critical condition and needed to be urgently sent to the hospital. In the end, she got into a car accident because someone was driving while drunk… That’s why my mom was a few minutes late and didn’t get rescued. My dad was very sad. Later, he found out that Driver Wang was the one who got into the car accident while drinking… As he knew about Driver Wang, my dad wanted to kill him and the old master,” he explained. “Although this happened, I truly love Little Ci. I wouldn’t do this to her father. That’s why my father said this to me, as I didn’t want to do it.”
“You really don’t want to avenge your mother?” Song Ci looked at him.
“You can’t count it that way. My dad’s thinking is a little extreme. He insists on tracing it back to your father, but if you look at it that way, Madam Ji deserves to die too. None of this would have happened if she had not slandered Driver Wang. Besides, there’s also Lan Xue. If it weren’t to give his sister a better life, Driver Wang wouldn’t have come to your house to be a driver…” Lu Gan nodded and said, “Of course, Lan Xue deserves to die. You treat her as a friend, but she wants to be your wife.”
Song Ci felt that this explanation was reasonable as well.
After Lan Xue finished speaking, Ji Yue and Second Young Miss Xu Qin also mentioned the evidence they had found, and the round of deduction ended.
As the detective, Xie Chuan concluded, “Currently, everyone’s motive are: Little Ci was not the old master’s biological daughter. Since the old master favored men over women, she would likely receive the least inheritance. She might have killed someone for the inheritance. Young Master Lu would have killed to avenge his mother; Madam Ji’s son is not Master’s son. She also could have killed someone for the inheritance. The Young Master might choose to kill for the sake of his inheritance and prevent his sister from getting engaged; Lan Xue might choose to kill to avenge her brother and prevent Little Ci from getting engaged. Gao Jing would murder to avenge his ex-girlfriend; Was Second Young Miss Xu Qin the only one without a motive? If she had to, it’ll probably kill Gao Jing.”
Everyone nodded.
Xie Chuan felt a headache coming on. “From the looks of it, it’ll be impossible to tell who the murderer is. Let’s search for evidence in the second round.”
At this time, the staff had already taken advantage of their round of deduction to release new evidence, so everyone had new gains.
Lu Gan found a diagnosis report about the old master. “Please explain, Madam Ji.”
Ji Yue sighed. “I won’t hide it anymore. Old Master really can’t get anyone pregnant. As you’ve deduced, I set up a trap, used him, and chased him away. I couldn’t let anyone threaten my status, but I didn’t expect him to die…”
“So when Old Master found out that Third Young Master was not his son and refused to give you and Third Young Master’s inheritance, you killed him?” Lu Gan asked.
Ji Yue refused to admit it. “I was afraid you would say so, so I didn’t dare to admit it. I didn’t know that Old Master already knew about it. Although Old Master was really cold toward me recently, I thought it was because he was busy.”
“Third Young Master, you didn’t know that Old Master already knew?” Lu Gan looked at Di Cheng.
“I only found out about it today!” Di Cheng shook his head.
Lu Qian sighed. “It’s strange that the two of you don’t know.”
Ji Yue suddenly thought of something, “Young Master Lu, I remember Old Master telling me you’re not father’s biological son. He adopted you.”
“That’s right, but how does this affect me? I couldn’t possibly have killed the old master just because he knows about this, right? If he knows, others may also know. I can’t possibly kill everyone, can I?” Lu Gan did not deny it.
When Ji Yue heard this, she was also speechless.
Xie Chuan looked at the person in front of him and scratched his head. “So no one is admitting to killing the old master?”
There was complete silence. Everyone checked their timeline again, as someone must have lied.
After a round of questioning, Di Cheng gave himself away. He had indeed felt that his father had been cold to him recently and had heard about his father’s will.
Second Young Miss Xu Qin also expressed that the old master had been particularly caring towards her these few days. He said that he would compensate her in the future and treat her well.
Madam Ji’s lips were sealed. She had not found any loopholes.
Gao Jing also refused to admit it.
