Chapter 146 Murder Case (Part 2)
Just now, he and the Xie couple stood together to receive the guests who came to pay their respects. Xie's mother was so sad that she almost fainted, and he reached out to hold her up. Everyone who saw this would say that it was a good thing that the Xie family still had Xie Tian.
Su Leyun placed the white rose in front of Xie Yao's portrait, raised his head and looked at Xie Tian coldly: "You should be very happy too, right?"
Xie Tian's expression froze for a moment, but he still tried to remain calm and asked Su Leyun: "Why do you say that? How can I be happy if my sister is dead?!"
Su Leyun looked at him quietly. His eyes were calm but seemed to see through his soul. Xie Tian felt as if he was naked in front of Su Leyun, with all the thoughts in his mind clearly visible.
Xie Tian finally couldn't bear it anymore and lowered his head to avoid Su Leyun's eyes.
Su Leyun suddenly smiled and explained, "The murderer turned himself in, and your sister's innocence was redressed. Of course you should be happy."
Su Leyun's words seemed to remove the huge stone that hit Xie Tian's chest. He was finally able to breathe freely and nodded repeatedly: "This is indeed a good thing, but even if the murderer is caught, my sister will not survive. How can I be happy?"
"But I heard that the police haven't closed the case yet," Su Leyun turned to look at Chu Yanxiao: "Isn't that right, Chu Yanxiao."
Chu Yanxiao had never heard of this before, but when he met Su Leyun's eyes, he nodded calmly: "That's true."
Although they didn't play together much, Xie Tian knew Chu Yanxiao's identity very clearly. There must be someone in their family who knew the police, so what Chu Yanxiao said was very credible.
Xie Tian's expression changed slightly, and sweat began to form on his forehead: "How could it be? Hasn't the murderer been caught? How could the case not be closed?"
He looked at Chu Yanxiao: "Uncle Chu probably doesn't want to see the Chu family on the headlines every day, right? Why didn't you put pressure on the police station to close the case quickly?"
This almost interrogative tone made Chu Yanxiao frown slightly, and his eyelids fluttered: "Why are you putting pressure on me? The fact that the case has not been closed means that there are still doubts. Don't you want to know the truth of the matter?"
Su Leyun was not surprised.
[He already knew the truth of the matter, but just didn't want others to know it. But today, he had to think about it even if he didn't want to. 】
Xie Tian was already a little anxious.
"Xie Tian," Su Leyun suddenly called him, smiling, "Before the lights went out that day, you had already left the room, right? Where did you go that day?"
"I didn't!" Xie Tian denied it, but his shaking hands still revealed his uneasy heart: "What do you know?"
Su Leyun didn't answer, but at this moment Xie Tian didn't care about his answer.
Su Leyun obviously knew something. Now he was only one step away from success, and he could not tolerate anyone ruining his plans.
The Xie couple and other guests were holding a ceremony outside, and there were only three of them in the room. Xie Tian secretly clenched the dagger in his bag with his hand in his pocket, thinking about how to make the two of them shut up forever.
He dodged and rushed forward to hold Su Leyun hostage, put a knife to his neck, and threatened Chu Yanxiao: "Follow me! Otherwise I will kill Su Leyun!"
Chu Yanxiao and Su Leyun have a very good relationship, which is well known in the circle. If they confront each other head-on, he cannot beat Chu Yanxiao at all, so he can only use this method to force Chu Yanxiao to listen to him.
Chu Yanxiao gritted his teeth and followed Xie Tian to a more secluded room.
The sharp blade was against Su Leyun's neck, but he remained calm: "So you really killed that person?"
"It's not me!" Xie Tian's mouth was still very stubborn: "She is asking for death. How dare a woman covet my property! I am the only male in the Xie family. Those two old fools can't even think this through!"
"If she doesn't die, the entire Xie family will fall into her hands the next day. I have no choice but to take action to prevent the Xie family from falling into the hands of a woman."
Although Xie Tian was adopted, the Xie couple treated him as their own son. Xie Tian naturally believed that he would be the future master of the Xie family.
However, when Xie Yao had his coming-of-age ceremony two years ago, the Xie couple suddenly gave Xie Yao a lot of shares as a birthday present. During this year's holidays, they even arranged for Xie Yao to study in the company. It was clear who the heir was.
Xie Tian was not convinced, but he did not dare to confront the Xie couple head-on, so he could only quarrel with Xie Yao secretly. Xie Yao had always treated him as a younger brother and did not take it to heart, let alone tell her parents.
On the day of playing the script-killing game, Xie Tian heard Xie Yao and his parents talking on the phone about the company. His parents seemed to mention Xie Tian, and Xie Yao said nonchalantly: "Give him a sinecure in the future, and he can live a life of ease and comfort in the company."
Xie Tian was furious after hearing this, and he quietly followed him while the lights were turned off in the room.
When Xie Yao came out of the bathroom, she found her diamond bracelet had been left on the sink. She went back to the bathroom to get it and happened to see a staff member picking up the bracelet and putting it in his pocket.
"You stole something!" she pointed out directly.
