Chapter 99 Don't worry, Bai Youqian! I will make sure you die with a clear conscience!
So far, this is the most straightforward and obvious clue to the motive, and there is almost no room for quibbling.
Jiang Huai calmly felt the gazes from all directions. After all, this was a trap he had dug for himself: "I did write it, but I didn't really do it."
He looked at Lu Yulin again: "So I don't understand. She left all her money to you in her will, and you actually think she doesn't love you."
"Stop talking about other people." Yan Xun interrupted his performance impatiently, as if the two of them really had some hatred and Jiang Huai and he were not the same person.
"Since you saw this will, you have been arguing with Bai Youqian almost every day. Last week, I even made several Xs every day, but this week, there were suddenly no Xs."
He pressed her, "Is it because you have made up your mind to kill her that you think it doesn't matter anymore? Don't you need to worry about these little things?"
...She was so sharp-tongued that she was a little too sharp. Even the usually calm Gu Shutang was a little surprised: this question did not involve any reasoning, it was just a rhetorical question that was purely emotional, and the answer was completely meaningless.
"Love and hate can coexist." Jiang Huai looked at Yan Xun calmly, as if he didn't feel offended at all. But in fact, he was shouting in his heart that it was nothing to dig a hole for himself, and he argued with gritted teeth: "I do hate Bai Youqian a little, but I also love her, and I love her a little more."
Before the results of Bai Youqian's autopsy came out, Jiang Huai really had no way to explain - judging from the direct motive, Jiang Huaizi was the most suspicious person, and he could only play the emotional card.
But his emotional card seems to be more convincing than Lu Yulin's four marriage certificates just now... I hope so.
Jiang Huai thought it was all because he knew his script too well, which led to Yan Xun's high efficiency in collecting evidence, and he got most of the clues in the first round - if he had known earlier, he would have let them off a little!
"Really?" Yan Xun looked at him for three seconds before looking away. He laughed in confusion and then walked off the stage. "I have told you all the clues I have found."
Li Li blinked, almost forgetting that she also had to serve as the host: "Okay. Now let me tell you about the evidence collection results that Zhuang Chong and I found."
Zhuang Chong and Li Li were responsible for searching the master bedroom of the deceased Bai Youqian and the guest bedroom of the doctor Gu Shutang. Perhaps because the deceased was in poor health, the two bedrooms were connected to facilitate the doctor's care.
Li Li had been taking notes while listening to them searching for evidence and arguing. Holding a folder and wearing glasses, she looked like a detective. "Doctor Gu, when we were chatting earlier, you said that Ms. Bai's physical condition was 'the same as before, nothing serious'. Then why did she suddenly start drafting her own will in early July?"
Gu Shutang crossed out a line on his notebook: "Her heart disease has indeed not worsened. I don't know much about the will either. It's probably a common problem among rich people."
"There's too much money and the family relationships are too complicated. If I die suddenly one day, there might be some trouble because of the inheritance. It's better to prepare in advance... What a pity." She sighed softly.
It's a pity that she died in an unclear manner. Jiang Huai added to what she didn't finish in his heart.
Don't worry, Bai Youqian! I will make sure you die with a clear conscience!
Li Li did not deliberately make things difficult for her old colleague, and quickly moved on to the next question: "You have increased Ms. Bai's dosage of sleeping pills in the past few months. Before, you only prescribed a safe dose each time and did not allow her to take more. Why do you prescribe a whole month's worth of sleeping pills at once now?"
"Because she told me every day that she had nightmares again, and her insomnia was worse than before." Gu Shutang said, "If you find Ms. Bai's phone, you should be able to find the corresponding chat records. I also contacted Bai Yulin and asked him to watch Ms. Bai and not let her eat too much."
During the first round of evidence collection, the detectives and suspects had not yet received the autopsy report of the deceased. They mainly analyzed the motive based on the clues, and only the detective conducted a public vote. Li Li pinched her chin and scanned the five suspects. When her eyes fell on Jiang Huai and Lu Yulin, she paused for a moment.
Jiang Huai clasped his hands together in his heart, and then watched Detective Li cast his vote into the box with the three words "Jiang Huaizi" written on it: It was all his fault that he knew his background story too well, and Yan Xun found too many clues... Oh yes, Yan Xun.
Secretary Yan was very aggressive when he was confronting Jiang Huai just now, but he suddenly became casual when listening to Li Li sharing clues. He crossed his legs nonchalantly, so relaxed that he didn't look like he was recording a show.
At this moment, the detective cast his first vote for Jiang Huai, and the air pressure around Yan Xun became lighter. The pen he used for recording turned back and forth between his slender and dexterous fingers, from his index finger to his ring finger, and then back to his middle finger. He seemed to be in a good mood.
[I know you are good at pen spinning, can you please stop spinning?] 819 sighed, [You look at the bodhi tree in his hand, it looks more like a second-generation rich man... At the age of 24, he is so happy to spin pens, how about reducing his age by 10 years and seamlessly sneaking into the campus drama to play the role of a mentally retarded junior high school boy who is smug after making the person in front of him angry?]
Yan Xun put the pen back on the folder, sat up straight in silence, and stopped playing with the beads.
——So who is the murderer?
Jiang Huai held two scripts in his hands and knew that he and Yan Xun were not the murderers. There were only three options left, and he still had no clue.
Before participating in the show, he specially watched the first two seasons of the show and realized that the analysis of the first round of searches was not reliable. Often everyone had a motive, but only one person actually did it, or two or three people did it one after another. They needed to find out the real method of death.
As for motives… no matter how you think about it, it’s unreliable. We can’t make quantitative comparisons, and it’s too unreasonable to vote for who is the murderer based on intuition. Although Yanxun is him, he is not Yanxun, at least he shouldn’t bite people for no reason - we still have to deduce logic based on evidence.
The second round of evidence search was mainly to find clues that needed to be deciphered. The clues were basically in the master bedroom, but the puzzles were scattered. Several people came in and out of here. The lifelike body of Ms. Bai Youqian was still lying on the bed, with a knife stuck in her chest, crimson paint splattered everywhere, and bloodstains all over the sheets and the floor of the room.
The murderer must have been set up in advance, otherwise he would have been covered in blood, but the exact time of the crime could only be determined after the autopsy report came out. While Jiang Huai was thinking, he took out an unused prop blanket from the cabinet and covered Bai Youqian with it.
Yan Xun, who was standing next to him, glanced at him and then looked at the new clue he had just obtained.
This new clue is Bai Youqian's personal bank account for the past six months. It contains two full pages of densely packed numbers. Fortunately, most of them are fixed income and expenditure, and there are also notes at the end. Personal assets, stock dividends, Bai Yulin and Jiang Huaizi's living expenses, Bai Youqian's own daily expenses... every item is clearly recorded.
The production team of "Who is the Murderer" has always paid great attention to the details of clues. Even the water, electricity, gas and property fees of the villa are marked in detail in the running water. His and Dr. Gu's salaries should have been paid from the company account, so it was deliberately omitted.
So what is this unremarked monthly fixed income?
Yan Xun stared at it for a long time, and the amount looked familiar. It should be the clue shared by someone just now. Fortunately, his brain was working well, and he remembered it without much effort - it corresponded to the bill of Zhuang Wumo.
This is even more strange. Secretary Yan has worked in the Bai Group for five years, and he has always been in charge of the cooperation with Zhuang. It is clearly written in his personal background that Zhuang Meiqian and Bai Youqian are just ordinary business partners... Why does Zhuang Meiqian pay her money every month?
[You and Bernard are just ordinary business partners on the surface, but you have been secretly spending his money.] 819 said faintly, [Zhuang has no money to spend on Ms. Bai, what's wrong?]
[How can it be considered that I secretly spent Bernard's money?] Jiang Huai argued, [He also had to spend money to find other spokespersons. All our cooperation was directly connected between Elysium and Jingming. I didn't deliberately raise the contract price to enrich myself... etc.]
He suddenly realized a possibility.
An hour later, the second round of evidence search was completed.
"The autopsy report is out." Li Li deliberately arrived three minutes late, pretending to be late, and walked into the meeting room. Several people who were originally in deep thought suddenly perked up.
"According to the report, the direct cause of death was indeed the knife stuck in her chest. In addition, Bai Youqian took T and K, two drugs that counteract each other and can cause death, an hour before her death. However, the murderer killed her before the drugs took effect."
"To facilitate discussion, I have compiled the time when you arrived at the villa and separated from the others." Li Li pushed her glasses. "Who is the murderer?"
