Chapter 49: Solving the Case 4
Unfortunately, no clues about Lin Jingmo’s method of murder were found in his room, so we can only remain skeptical for the time being.
Yun Zhao's room on the same floor was extremely messy, with all kinds of clothes and accessories thrown around randomly. There was also a wine cabinet in the room, and an unfinished glass of wine on the table.
"You're a drunkard." Ruan Tianxi patted Yun Zhao, and Yun Zhao slapped him back, and the two began a glorious fight between two noobs.
"Okay, let's start?" Lin Jingmo clapped his hands and looked at his younger brothers around him.
Everyone started to move, but Yun Zhao's room was a bit messy, and it was very inconvenient to find things.
Fang Langxing rummaged through the pile of clothes under his hands and found Yun Zhao's phone in a coat, but it required facial recognition to unlock it.
Fang Langxing pointed the phone at Yun Zhao, who reacted quickly and tried to dodge and run away.
"Brothers, catch him." Fang Langxing waved his hand, and Yun Zhao was held by Mu Tianya.
Mu Liunian helped Fang Langxing hold Yun Zhao's head to prevent him from moving, and finally succeeded in unlocking his phone.
There was a video on the phone, and judging from the angle, it should be the same camera found in the study. Fang Langxing watched it and said to Yun Zhao who was sitting next to him: "You acted very well, kid? You are first-rate at pretending to be confused."
Yun Zhao laughed and looked at Fang Langxing's shoulder as he watched the video.
In the video, there are Mr. Jia and Lin Jingmo. The two are arguing and look very excited. Mr. Jia even wants to hit Lin Jingmo, but Lin Jingmo grabs his wrist and pushes him onto the chair. Mr. Jia's chest is heaving violently, as if he is going to die in the next second.
The content of their argument was even more explosive. Lin Jingmo discovered that Mr. Jia wanted to kill Duan Hanyun and came to stop him, but Mr. Jia threatened him that if he couldn't get the property, Lin Jingmo's current status would also disappear. Lin Jingmo didn't care about the so-called face and property at all, and Mr. Jia, who was angry and humiliated, wanted to take action.
However, Lin Jingmo is no longer the powerless child he used to be. He easily stopped the old and frail Mr. Jia. Mr. Jia became furious and said that Lin Jingmo was as disobedient as his mother and should have followed his mother!
"You know?" Fang Langxing suddenly realized: "You want to kill him because he killed your mother?"
Yun Zhao pouted and nodded sullenly.
There was also a video on the phone that Yun Zhao used to celebrate Lin Jingmo and Duan Hanyun’s birthdays every year. He was even more murderous: “You two have a good relationship. If Mr. Jia wants to do something to them, you won’t just sit back and watch.”
"Yes, but look at the date!" Yun Zhao pointed to the date in the upper right corner of the video and said, "I just found out about this today, and I don't have time to prepare."
"It's not impossible that a crime of passion could have occurred." Mu Tianya, who was standing behind them and watching, said after hearing Yun Zhao's explanation.
"It really wasn't me." Yun Zhao looked at Fang Langxing pitifully, holding his hand and said seriously: "Brother, you believe me."
"Okay, okay, I believe you." Fang Langxing nodded repeatedly, but it seemed like he was just being perfunctory and he didn't believe it at all.
But nothing else was found afterwards. It seemed that Yun Zhao was indeed as he said. He only learned the news today. He had always been in a free-range state, so he lived as he pleased, and Mr. Jia didn't care much about him.
Next are the people on the first floor. Fang Langxing, Mu Tianya, Mu Liunian, Hua Xinyi and Zuo Chi's rooms are all on the first floor. From this we can see that Zuo Chi's status is very low. His position in this family is the same as that of his subordinates.
They first investigated Zuo Chi's room, which was only half the size of the upstairs room and was simply decorated. On the bedside table was a photo of Zuo Chi and a woman who looked exactly like him.
"Is this your mother?" Fang Langxing looked at the photo and asked Zuo Chi.
Zuo Chi nodded without saying much. In the plot, he was a man of few words and seldom communicated with others.
Zuo Chi's room is very clean and has few personal belongings, so one always feels like he can leave at any time.
After opening Zuo Chi's suitcase according to the date on the back of the photo, a diary was found inside with a pink and blue cover. It was not difficult to tell that its owner should be the type who is full of girlish heart.
The text inside is also written in the beautiful handwriting of a young girl, recording the story of a girl who is full of hope for the future and falls in love with a handsome and wealthy man.
Until she became pregnant with Zuo Chi, the girl was still immersed in happiness, believing that she had found true love and that her life was as beautiful as a fairy tale.
But the situation took a turn for the worse. The girl first discovered that the man had another lover outside. When she went to the house to confront the lover, she found out that she was also a mistress. The man was already married and had a family, and even his and his wife's second child had just been born.
The girl was very sad to have become a mistress without her knowledge. She thought about leaving, but the baby in her belly was already seven months old. Not only was she unable to move around easily, but the man also discovered her intentions.
This made the man, who had a strong desire for control and treated the girl as his private property, very dissatisfied. He simply locked the girl up and ignored her even though she became more and more haggard day by day.
The girl held on for more than a month, but gave birth prematurely due to the tremendous mental stress. She could not hold on and passed away after Zuo Chi was born. Zuo Chi was taken back to the mansion to be raised. It was also because of this that the man started quarreling with his wife.
It can be said that the root of all tragedies is men who cannot control themselves. No one else did anything wrong. The girl just fell in love with a man who lied to her that he was single. The man’s wife did nothing wrong. It was just that the man couldn’t stand the loneliness and ran out to cheat. Zuo Chi did nothing wrong either. If the girl had known that the man had a family, she might not have given birth to the child.
"But who gave you this diary?" Duan Hanyun looked at Zuo Chi. He was brought back home when he was still a baby. He couldn't bear to see Mr. Jia being so kind as to keep Zuo Chi's mother's relics.
"It was given to me by the old butler." Zuo Chi glanced at Fang Langxing. The old butler he mentioned was the previous butler of this house and also Fang Langxing's father.
The others' eyes also stayed on Fang Langxing, but they said nothing. They only stayed there for a short while before looking away.
【I think there is a story.】
【Lang'er's father must be very important in this story.】
[I think so too. After all, in novels, the old butler basically plays a very important role in the protagonist's life. ]
Later they found a blood-stained handkerchief in Zuo Chi's room, but there was not much blood, so it should have nothing to do with Mr. Jia's death.
Mu Tianya and Lin Jingmo also found the hidden phone on top of the cabinet in Zuo Chi's room. There was a hidden group chat in it with nine members, but they all had nicknames and it was impossible to tell who they were. Only one of them had a profile picture of a purple hydrangea, so it could be roughly confirmed that it was Zuo Chi, because his mother liked this kind of flower.
However, according to the plot, it should represent these nine people.
The screenwriters of the program team really have a lot of imagination. Fang Langxing thought of a guess and sighed in his heart.
There was nothing else in Zuo Chi's room, but he also had murderous intentions. His mother died because of Mr. Jia's deception, and he himself was discriminated against because of his status as an illegitimate child and had to live under someone else's roof.
His murderous intention was very strong.
