[Chapter 268 The Real Murderer]
Xu Yilian frowned, "Because she is my daughter, I have to stay rational. I can't accuse anyone before the matter is thoroughly investigated."
Xu Lan's eyes widened with anger. "Why are you still investigating? It must be her fault!"
At this time, Huo Jingze came over with a document and samples for inspection in his hand.
"Stop arguing, the test results will be out soon, and the truth will come out then."
Xu Lan glared at Lin Yin fiercely, "Hmph, wait until the results come out. If it's your fault, I won't let you off!"
Huo Jingze stood in front of Lin Yin and glanced at Xu Lan coldly, "Aunt, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
"You..." Xu Lan wanted to say something, but when she met Huo Jingze's cold eyes, she shut up awkwardly.
Although she is the elder, she doesn't dare to act too much like an elder in front of Huo Jingze.
He could only glare at Lin Yin again with hatred.
Huo Jingze opened the sealed file bag and took out the test report inside. There were two copies. One was the test of the ingredients of the bowl of medicine that Huo Nian drank left over, and the other was the new medicine that was sent over later. He personally supervised the boiling of the medicine.
The comparison data of the two tests clearly showed that the bowl of medicine left over by Huo Nian had a lot of extra ingredients.
This shows that the medicine was indeed tampered with.
For a moment, everyone in the living room had different expressions.
Especially Xu Lan and Huo Qingyun, the expressions on their faces were simply colorful.
Lin Yin was in no mood to ask them to apologize. The most urgent task was to find out who was responsible for the incident. They even spared no minors, which was very vicious.
She and Huo Jingze looked at each other, and Huo Jingze understood what she meant immediately. His cold eyes moved coldly between Xu Lan and Huo Qingyun.
"Now that this matter is resolved, my aunt and father must not forget what they said before."
Xu Lan and Huo Qingyun's faces became even uglier.
…
The servants who had been in and out of the kitchen were called into the living room again. Huo Jingze's sharp gaze swept through everyone like a cold arrow, making people shudder.
The servants stood in a row trembling with fear, each of them was silent as a mouse, not daring to make a sound.
Huo Jingze looked stern and said in a chilling tone, "The police will be here in ten minutes. You have one last chance. Admit it or report it. Otherwise, you will all be taken away by the police. Think about it carefully. Once this matter is recorded, it will not only affect you, but your descendants will also be ashamed because of your wrong choice today. Their further education, employment, and military service will all be hindered. Do you have the heart to let your descendants bear such a stain and burden because of your momentary confusion? I will give you five more minutes to think about it. Don't have any fluke mentality."
Suddenly everyone panicked.
"Master, this is really none of my business. The young lady and I have no grudges against each other, so why would I harm her?"
"I won't harm the young lady either, Master, please check it out!"
"Master..."
They all cried out that it was injustice.
Huo Jingze sneered, his voice was cold and without any warmth, "Instead of crying and shouting, why don't you think carefully about whether anyone among you has behaved suspiciously? If you report it successfully, not only will you be cleared of suspicion, I will give you a reward of 100,000 yuan."
The servants stopped crying and shouting immediately, and looked at the people around them with scrutinizing eyes, trying to recall if there was anything suspicious about them.
One of the servants suddenly grabbed the short woman next to him and said, "Xiaoyu, I was in charge of boiling the medicine two days ago. When I was about to serve it to the young lady, I found that the sugar was gone, so I put the medicine back in the kitchen and went to the storage room to get it. When I returned to the kitchen, I saw you come in. You were startled by me and dropped the things in your hands on the ground. You said at the time that you drank the Chinese medicine yourself and wanted to heat it up. Did you harm the young lady?"
Huo Jingze's sharp eyes swept over, and Xiaoyu suddenly became flustered. Her legs became weak uncontrollably and she actually knelt on the ground.
"I, it's not me, that was really the medicine I wanted to drink..." Xiaoyu's voice was trembling, and she didn't dare to look into Huo Jingze's eyes.
At this time, the police came, and five or six men in formal attire and wearing silver bracelets rushed into the living room.
Huo Jingze pointed at Xiaoyu who was lying on the ground and said coldly, "She is the most suspicious. Please focus on interrogating her."
Lin Yin, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up: "How many years will he be sentenced for attempted murder?"
Huo Jingze: "You can't escape from the life sentence."
When Xiaoyu heard this, her eyelids twitched and she almost fainted.
Lin Yin walked up to Xiaoyu and looked at her calmly, "If you are willing to confess now and point out who is behind you doing this, I can guarantee to reduce your sentence."
She didn't believe that a servant would want to kill Huo Nian, and since there was no deep hatred between them, it was really suspicious.
There is definitely someone behind this. Is the target her or someone else?
Xiaoyu lowered her head, her body trembling slightly. After a long while, she finally raised her head, her eyes full of tears and regret. "Ms. Lin, I was wrong. I confess that it was Ms. Wu who instructed me to do this."
As soon as this name came out, everyone in the living room changed their expressions except Lin Yin.
Lin Yin frowned slightly, "Ms. Wu, which Ms. Wu?"
"Yes, yes..." Xiaoyu looked at Huo Qingyun with a timid look.
"Shut up! This is nonsense!" Huo Qingyun shouted angrily. His face turned ashen in an instant, veins on his forehead bulged, and his eyes were full of anger and warning.
Seeing this, Lin Yin became even more confused, "What is going on? Why don't you let her speak?"
Huo Qingyun snorted coldly, "Don't listen to her nonsense!"
Xiaoyu was so scared that she trembled all over, lowered her head and dared not say another word.
Lin Yin looked at Huo Qingyun firmly, "Things have come to this point. It's useless to hide it. Please let Xiaoyu explain clearly."
Huo Qingyun glared at Xiaoyu fiercely, and said firmly: "That's enough, this matter ends here, and there is no need to bother the police. The Huo family will solve it internally."
He gave orders, and the police looked at each other in confusion before finally packing up and leaving.
Lin Yin looked at the expressions of everyone in the living room. The words "secretive" seemed to be written in everyone's eyes.
The doubts in her heart became stronger.
At this moment, Xu Yilian suddenly walked up to Huo Qingyun, raised her hand and slapped him hard without saying a word.
The sound was so loud that it echoed throughout the living room.
After the fight, he said nothing and left coldly.
Huo Qingyun knew he was in the wrong and did not dare to lose his temper. Before he could calm down, Xu Zhengguo slapped his intact left cheek again.
Both sides are swollen, and they are symmetrical.
Old Mrs. Huo came over with a cane and wanted to hit him, but when she saw the clear slap marks on both sides of Huo Qingyun's face, she didn't have the heart to hit him again.
He hit Huo Qingyun's back hard with his cane and yelled in disappointment, "Look at what you have done. In the future, the ancestors of the Huo family will scold you to death in the underworld!
