Chapter 518 Murderer
"Don't touch anything at the scene!" Song Tian shouted loudly, asking everyone not to act rashly. Once the scene is destroyed, it will be difficult to find out who the murderer is.
Taoyao Ye and Lan Ting carefully observed the layout of the study. The study was simply decorated with two rows of bookshelves, two paintings hanging on the wall, and a few yellow charms that could ward off evil spirits. In addition, there were desks, wooden chairs, and coffee tables. , the vase on the coffee table... is no different from an ordinary study.
The door is closed, and according to the housekeeper, the windows are also closed and cannot be opened from the outside.
"This is…"
The window was broken, and Tao Yaoye found that someone had poked a hole in the corner of the window.
The housekeeper explained on the side: "Before I broke the window, I poked an eye to see if something was really wrong with the master."
"You must be the eldest brother who killed my father!" The second son Song Qing grabbed the eldest son Song Tian by the collar and yelled, very angry, his eyes were bloodshot, like a crazy dog.
Song Tian was displeased, frowned, pushed his second brother away, and angrily shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"I'm not talking nonsense. Don't think I don't know. You have been losing money since you took over your father's business. Your investment failed a while ago and you lost a lot of money. You didn't dare to tell your father for fear that he would be angry. I won’t let you take care of the family business anymore!”
“Now, you killed your father and you are the first heir. All the family business belongs to you!”
Song Tian was furious: "Nonsense. When it comes to motive for committing the crime, you are more serious than me. You failed to pass the exam several times, and your father got angry and broke your legs. He also said that if you failed to pass the exam, you would never be able to pass the exam for the rest of your life." Don’t expect to inherit any property from your family! I once heard your friend say that you bought wine for fun, and that you must kill your father!”
“You bribed my friend!”
“It’s your friend who is jealous of money.”
Song Lian'er tremblingly pointed at the body of Member Song and said, "Stop arguing. Look at my father's eyes still open. He will die with his eyes open."
Everyone saw that it was true. Song Yuanwai tilted his head and opened his eyes, looking straight at the coffee table.
The youngest son Song Qi followed Mr. Song's gaze and saw a blue and white porcelain vase on the coffee table.
"Blue and white porcelain vase...blue and white porcelain...blue...Second brother Song Qing! This is the clue left by my father before his death! Second brother, it was you who killed my father!"
The second son, Song Qing, was anxious: "That's nonsense. Just because you don't know what it means, do you think I killed you?"
“Father stretches out a finger on his right hand, which is clearly a hint to my elder brother!”
"And as for the motive for committing the crime, no one here has it. Third brother, you resent your father for cutting off your pocket money, which makes you very embarrassed among those gangster friends. If you kill your father and inherit part of the family property, you will naturally be rich!"
"And little sister, your father asked you to break off the relationship with the boy named Zhou, but you refused to listen and kept in touch secretly. Once your father dies, no one will stop you from getting married to the boy named Zhou!"
Song Qing found out the little thoughts of the three people one by one, and they all had motives for committing the crime.
Tao Yaoye suddenly asked: "When was the last time you saw Song Yuanwai?"
“I saw my father in the yard when I was studying in the morning, and then I went into the house to study. That was two and a half hours ago.”
The third son hesitated and said: "An hour ago, I came to the study and took away some money. When I went out, I happened to bump into my father walking into the study. He scolded me."
Song Lian'er said: "Half an hour ago I brought a bowl of tea to my father in the study."
The steward agreed: "I happened to be outside the door when the young lady served tea. I haven't seen the master since then."
Lanting nodded: "So, Song Yuanwai died less than half an hour ago."
“What were you doing half an hour ago? Who can prove it?”
The eldest son Song Tian was the first to say: "I was checking the account books in the shop at that time, and everyone can prove it."
The second son Song Qing also said: "I was studying at that time. Although no one saw me, I was used to reading loudly, so the maids at home should be able to hear me when they passed by."
Song Lian'er burst into tears: "After bringing tea to my father, I stayed in the house until my elder brother came to find me." "Can anyone prove it?"
Song Lian'er's voice became softer and softer as she spoke: "No."
Tao Yaoye was keenly aware of the strangeness: "Wait a minute, you said you sent tea to member Song. Where is the teacup?"
There is only a blue and white porcelain vase on the coffee table, but no coffee table.
It was impossible for Song Lian'er to wait until Song Yuan finished drinking tea before taking the teacup away.
Song Lian'er hesitated and couldn't say a word.
“Little sister, please speak quickly!” the third son Song Qi said hurriedly, sweating on his forehead.
Song Lianer finally made up her mind and said: "The housekeeper said that there is no insolvable conflict between father and daughter, and encouraged me to tell my father about Zhou Lang. I served my father tea to ask him to agree to my matter with Zhou Lang. He After hearing this, I got angry on the spot and threw the tea cup to the ground. The housekeeper took the tea cup away, and then I went back to the room and cried all the time."
Song Tian frowned and looked at the housekeeper, with a hint of questioning: "In that case, housekeeper, why don't you talk about this matter? And you should know your father's attitude. It is impossible to agree to my little sister's matter!"
The housekeeper met Song Tian's eyes and fled in panic.
"Look into my eyes! Tell me, what do you want to do?" Song Tian shouted sharply.
Seeing everyone looking at him with unkind expressions, the housekeeper knew that he could not hide away, so he sighed helplessly: "Actually, the lady's sweetheart is my illegitimate son. I wanted to bring them together, but I didn't expect that the master would be so determined."
Song Lian'er looked at the housekeeper blankly. She didn't expect that the housekeeper and Zhou Lang had this kind of relationship.
The housekeeper keeps saying encouraging words to himself, but does he not encourage himself to pursue love?
Song Lian'er's eyes were dull, and something collapsed in her heart.
Tao Yaoye said in a low voice: "So, the most likely thing is that Song Lian'er and the housekeeper worked together. It should be that the housekeeper shot a poisonous ice needle through the window and poisoned Mr. Song to death. Then he stabbed Mr. Song under the guise of checking. Pierce the paper window and cover up the eye of the needle.”
Lan Ting shook his head and had his own opinion: "If this is the case, how can the housekeeper ensure that the eldest son will let him go to Song Yuanwai? You know, the housekeeper doesn't know that we are coming."
“In my opinion, it may be the second son Song Qing. He said he was studying in his room, but as long as he bought a photo ball at the Chamber of Commerce and played his voice continuously, he could completely forge an alibi!”
The two of them argued quietly without coming to a conclusion, and finally turned to ask Lu Yang at the same time.
“Senior Brother Lu, who do you think is the murderer?”
Lu Yang did not answer, but walked over silently, squatted next to Song Yuanwai, and took out the Resurrection Pill.
He bought this from the Mission Hall when he was afraid of encountering any accidents when he went to Huangzhou, but he never used it.
The elixir melted in Song Yuanwai's mouth, and Song Yuanwai slowly woke up, looking a little confused.
Lu Yang explained: "Song Yuanwai is not dead, his soul was taken away. I used the Resurrection Pill to bring his soul back."
Lu Yang was often taken away from his body, and he was far more experienced in terms of soul than the two junior sisters.
“Executive member Song, the three of us came from the Immortal Sect, who took away your soul?”
Song Yuanwai was still a little confused at first, but after hearing Lu Yang's words, his eyes became firm and he revealed the murderer:
“It’s a picture scroll.”
Lu Yang turned to everyone and said, "Look, the murderer has been found."
Song brothers and sisters: “…”
Steward: “…”
