Later on, through the evidence collected by the government, it turned out that Miss Lu had asked Eldest Young Master Shen to come out and talk that day. Who knew that this matter would be known by Second Young Master Shen and he would beg his brother to give him a chance.
Young Master Shen, who had always given in to his second brother since he was young, chose to compromise as usual.
Who knew that after the second young master went, he had evil intentions towards Miss Lu. He felt that if he didn't go, the rice would be cooked as soon as possible. That night, he tricked Miss Lu into his room and attempted to do something to her.
Who knew that in her struggle, she actually took off the phoenix hairpin on her head and stabbed it into the Second Young Master's heart. He immediately started bleeding non-stop and pushed Miss Lu back. In the end, he used too much force and Miss Lu fell back. The back of her head hit the sharp point of a table at the side and she died on the spot.
This was what Young Master Qi saw when he came in.
After that, Young Master Qi had suffered a huge blow from the death of his brother and lover, so he had been acting like a lunatic. After that, all his belongings were handed over to his eldest sister to deal with. The people of the Lu Residence only felt that the feng shui of this place was not very good. Recently, they had always encountered some unpleasant things and decided to move away.
From then on, the front of these two houses was deserted, as if no one remembered their former glory.
After listening to the old lady's story, Qi Lu was amazed by how strange it was. Ye Meng, on the other hand, was not surprised at all. She had read everything she had just said in the file room. However, she felt that something was wrong with this case.
That was why she thought of pulling Qi Lu over to take a look.
This allowed her to see a lot of flaws. She felt that this matter might not be handled according to the old routine of solving the case.
That afternoon, Ye Meng brought Qi Lu to meet with Boss Shen alone for the sake of treating his illness. However, the person in front of her still looked silly.
He really looked like a four or five-year-old child. His eyes darted around dejectedly, and his gaze was evasive when he looked at them.
"Alright, Boss Shen." Ye Meng looked at him and felt that he was tired of pretending, so she went straight to the point. "Let's just tell the truth."
Meanwhile, Boss Shen was still playing with a piece of pumpkin pie in his hand. He even put the pumpkin pie in his hand to Qi Lu's mouth with a pair of innocent eyes, pretending that he did not hear anything and did not even look at her.
" Ye Meng, no matter how I look at him, he's just a person who's not in his right mind. Why are you still..." Qi Lu waved away the pumpkin pie that Boss Shen handed over and looked at Ye Meng helplessly.
"Are you delirious?" Ye Meng's lips curled up slightly. She was curious about how Boss Shen was so delirious.
"Since Boss Shen is unwilling to cooperate, I can only say it myself.”Ye Meng poured herself a cup of tea and said casually while drinking," Let's talk about the so-called prophecy murder."”
Boss Shen still did not have any reaction.
"The people here should all know that the Eldest Young Master of the Shen family was smart since he was young and was a good businessman. The honey industry he created was even more prosperous. However, the Second Young Master was the complete opposite. He only knew poetry, wine, and music. He never asked about the family matters.”
"However, everyone knows that the Second Young Master is most protective of his brother, which is you.”Ye Meng said as she glanced at Boss Shen.
"If this little girl's guess is correct, Miss Lu should have fallen in love with the elegant Second Young Master at first sight. However, at this time, Boss Shen, you snatched her away.”
"However, Miss Lu has no attachment to you.”Ye Meng looked at him and found that there was still no reaction. He continued,"So you set up a trap to kill your second brother. Who knew that Miss Lu would miss him so much that she went to the second young master's place." In your panic, you accidentally killed Miss Lu.”
"Nonsense!" At this point, Boss Shen suddenly jumped up and slammed his palm on the table. He said angrily," She loves me. She loves me. She must love me. I've done so much for her. Why doesn't she love me?!"”
"Why, Boss Shen, aren't you acting dumb anymore?”Ye Meng glanced at him, her face full of mockery.
"How did you find out that I was pretending to be crazy?”Seeing this, Boss Shen threw away the pumpkin pie in his hand that had already been kneaded into a mess. He no longer pretended to be stupid and said coldly.
"It's nothing. It's just that the act that Boss Shen put on in front of me just now was too fake. And when I mentioned the Lu Residence, I noticed a flash of light in your eyes. It was very fast but also very obvious. Moreover, if you were really crazy, how could your Eldest Sister support the entire Shen residence and still not fall?”
"Let's talk about what happened after that. When you learned that the disaster had already happened, you could only pretend to be crazy and stupid, pretending that you didn't know anything.”
"How do you know all this?”Boss Shen didn't directly admit or deny everything she had just said. He just changed the topic and asked her how she knew.
"Is that important?" " What a pity." Ye Meng asked him in return." Your brother has always protected you. Even though he knew you wanted to kill him, he still took revenge on you."”
"He, he knows that I want to kill him?" When Boss Shen heard Ye Meng's words, his eyes widened in surprise. Then, he shook his head repeatedly, refusing to believe it. "How could he know that I wanted to kill him?”
"Why not?" Ye Meng stood up and pointed at the jars of honey around her, shrugging. "That's right. At that time, everyone said that Second Young Master did not care about family matters. I only know poetry. However, he grew up in the Shen family after all. How could he not know that honey was the most attractive to small insects like ants?”
"Do you really think that he believed that the woman said that it was destined?”Ye Meng smiled disdainfully." Boss Shen, your plan is too childish."”
"So, Second Brother was willing to be killed by me?”Boss Shen looked at his hands in disbelief and said,"So, so I killed my brother with my own hands." "It's all my fault, beast…" As he spoke, his voice choked up with a rough wail.
"Surrender yourself." Ye Meng suggested to him as she couldn't bear to see him like this.
"Aren't you going to take me back?" He looked at Qi Lu. Actually, he already knew what Qi Lu did ever since he came in. After all, he had so many years of experience in the business world. He could remember the characteristics of all kinds of people clearly.
"Three days." Ye Meng gestured a three with her finger." I'll give you three days to turn yourself in. If you don't come back after three days, we'll come and arrest you."”
"In that case, thank you, Young Lady." Boss Shen was a little surprised when he heard her suggestion at first, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was a good suggestion to save his last bit of face.
In the afternoon, Ye Meng and Qi Lu left West Street after receiving Boss Shen's confession and did not stay in the Shen residence for long.
"Ye Meng, you're so amazing. How did you guess that Boss Shen was the murderer and even reconstruct the case so vividly?”Qi Lu asked as he walked. She was still holding a large bottle of high-quality honey that Boss Shen had just given her.
This was the first time he and Ye Meng had gone to investigate the murderer, and the murderer was not in a hurry to confess but even gave them something.
"Do you want to know?" Ye Meng stopped and hooked her finger at him.
Qi Lu looked at the slender finger but was unwilling to move his ear closer. He still remembered that his ear had hurt for an entire day because of the last time.
"Aiya, coward." Seeing that he was unwilling to come over, Ye Meng remembered what happened last time. She didn't feel ashamed at all and instead mocked Qi Lu for being as timid as a mouse.
"Just say it." Qi Lu shook his head.
"Sigh, actually, half of it was just a guess.”Ye Meng glanced at him and continued walking.
"Guessed?" Qi Lu was shocked once again. When he heard her speak so confidently in the Shen residence just now, he thought that every word she said was based on evidence. In the end, she actually said that she had guessed half of it. Could it be that she was bluffing Boss Shen just now?
Ye Meng noticed that his pace was getting slower and slower. She turned around and saw that he was shocked and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She shook her head and didn't bother with him.
The sky gradually darkened. At this time, a group of people was slowly passing by the East County, which was the only way to enter Ningzhou.
At the very front of the group was an extremely gorgeous sedan chair. There were guards on horses guarding the front and back, and a group of people followed closely behind.
"Everyone, hurry up." The leading guard shouted to the people behind him," It's getting dark. We have to finish this road as soon as possible. Everyone, work harder."”
"Yes, sir!" The people behind him answered.
"What's that?" Suddenly, a person in charge of scouting ahead quickly reported. There were actually white shadows ahead, looking extremely strange in the dusk. Immediately, a few of them became timid.
"What are you panicking about? It's just a few rags. Everyone, show some masculinity!”The leader continued to boost their morale, worried that once someone panicked, the enemy would easily take the opportunity to kill them all.
However, just as he was speaking, an arrow shot into his chest and went straight through his back. The leader fell.
The people at the side were even more flustered.
Soon, the night had completely fallen. The chaotic land had now returned to silence, leaving only flags and broken arrows on the ground.
"Milord, Milord, bad news, bad news.”Early in the morning, the bailiffs in the government office rushed into Magistrate Zhang's study room at an extremely fast speed, shouting loudly.
"What's going on?”When Magistrate Zhang heard his voice, his eyebrows furrowed together. The words that he had just written had accidentally dripped a drop of ink onto the paper due to his sudden intrusion, causing the entire paper to be blurred.
"Milord, this is really bad.”The bailiff panted heavily but still insisted.
"What's the big deal? She kept shouting,'Oh no, oh no'.”Magistrate Zhang rolled his eyes gloomily. He finally knew why there were not many capable people in his government office.
"Milord, it's like this. Yesterday, the imperial court sent an imperial envoy to Suizhou. He passed by Ningzhou and wanted to stay the night. "Who knew…" The bailiff paused for a moment and continued,"Who knew that he would disappear as soon as he arrived at East County."”
"Gone?" Hearing this news, Magistrate Zhang quickly stood up. At this time, the impatience on his face had been completely replaced by nervousness and doubt," What do you mean by disappeared?”
"Milord. It seemed like they had been robbed. Only the corpses of a few guards and some broken flags and arrows were left.”
"What about the imperial envoy?"
