"What is this? A safe?" Lawyer Li's voice suddenly appeared, "Wait, don't move, let's get fingerprints first."

Jian Jing: "..."

Lawyer Li said, "I have a toolbox in my car, wait a minute."

He hurried out and hurried back, and he actually brought a trace detection toolkit, "Make way, I'll get fingerprints."

Jian Jing watched his performance and asked, "Why do you carry this with you?"

"People in our line of work occasionally encounter such situations." Lawyer Li dipped a brush in powder and gently tapped it on the combination lock and door handle of the safe, "Teacher Jian, have you ever been to the scene to write a book?"

Jian Jing: "...Occasionally."

Lawyer Li laughed briefly, "Yes, some crime scenes are not like this time, they are bloody, even men can't stand it, let alone girls."

Jian Jing smiled politely.

"Look, very obvious fingerprints." Lawyer Li picked up two fingerprints and said, "I will send them for comparison immediately. If they are not Mr. Jiang Guangze's, everything will be very simple."

Jian Jing had to stop him: "Let me take a photo."

In fact, as long as you compare them, it is not difficult to find the difference between the two fingerprints. One is big and the other is small, and they are not the comparison of the little finger and the thumb. Besides, when opening a safe, you usually don't touch the little finger. Most of them belong to different people.

She frowned and thought.

"Teacher Jian, I think this case should not be as complicated as you wrote in your novel, full of tricks and drama." Lawyer Li said slowly, "Based on my experience, most of the cases in reality are not complicated. They are nothing more than money or feelings."

Jian Jing raised her eyelids, as if she saw a peacock spreading its tail.

He analyzed: "Such a hidden place must contain a will. Someone knew this and sneaked in after the chairman fell asleep, preparing to steal it. Unexpectedly, the chairman discovered it and had to kill him to silence him."

Honestly, "That makes sense." Jian Jing said, "Then who is the murderer?"

"Of course it's the owner of the fingerprint." Lawyer Li smiled, "I'll ask other people to print fingerprints for comparison now. Do you want to come?"

She shook her head decisively.

Lawyer Li was also arrogant and no longer showed her courtesy. She smiled reservedly and said, "I hope we can know the answer at dinner."

Her tone was very firm.

Jian Jing returned a subtle smile and turned to the next stop: the study.

Because it was just a villa for vacation, the study was very standard and there was no valuable text information. But the decoration is very beautiful, classical without being vulgar. The mahogany gleams heavy in the sunlight, and the light and shadows shine on the lattice windows, projecting traditional ice crack patterns.

There are many ornaments on the antique shelf, including golden pigs, galloping horses, plowing cattle, tigers, Tenglong, and white dogs, made of gold, jade, and wood. There is also a pair of cloisonné vases, crystal glasses, old inkstones, and antique clocks. There are

several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. Looking at the signatures, they are either works by famous painters in the Republic of China or famous contemporary calligraphers. The works are carefully collected behind glass and do not look like imitations.

Under the window is a rosewood desk with purple clay tea sets, which are shiny and beautiful, and are probably not ordinary. But it looks brand new, and it is estimated that it has never been used since it was bought.

Jian Jing admired it alone for a while, and then called the old nanny to chat casually.

"This place is well decorated. Did the chairman often come here to live?"

"It was bought almost seven or eight years ago, and it took three or four years to decorate it. He originally planned to live here after retirement." The nanny recalled the past and sighed, "In the end, he worked hard and didn't have the blessing to enjoy his retirement."

"What a pity, I heard that the chairman had stomach cancer before?"

"Yes, six or seven years ago. At that time, I almost thought he was dying, so I called all the children back home. As a result, the chemotherapy was very successful. During that time, his wife took care of him all the time, so he got better and married his wife."

Jian Jing asked: "Did you make a will at that time?"

"Yes, they said that the group was handed over to the eldest and second sons, the third son got the shares of the water supply, and the outsiders got the remaining money and houses." After the nanny finished speaking, she immediately said, "Of course, it doesn't count after marriage."

Jian Jing nodded and said, "Sorry, I'll sit for a while."

After dinner, the Jiang family gathered again.

This time, Jian Jing met Jiang Lian's husband and children.

To be honest, when she saw the appearance of Jiang Lian's husband, she immediately understood why she was willing to let her daughter follow the other's surname and did not hesitate to argue with her father several times.

The eldest son-in-law is quite handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and regular features. He is completely different from the popular young men nowadays, but he is a traditional image of a beautiful man, beautiful and calm, and very charming.

I believe that if he was born a thousand years earlier, he would have become the male favorite of the empress, the kind that will be recorded in history books.

Jian Jing couldn't help but look at him twice more.

"Ahem." Jiang Lian cleared her throat, glanced at him as if warning, and sneered.

Her husband touched her shoulder and said concernedly: "Are you too tired these two days and your tonsils are inflamed?"

"Nothing." Jiang Lian drank a sip of hot tea and said to her daughter, "Take her back to the room to sleep. She must be tired after flying back from abroad."

Her daughter Xiaonan was very sensible: "Mom, I'll accompany you."

"Take a nap and adjust to the jet lag. The funeral is tiring." In front of her daughter, Jiang Lian was not so arrogant or indifferent. She touched her head lovingly and said, "Go home soon."

Xiaonan kissed her cheek and went upstairs yawning. Her husband picked up the heavy suitcase and considerately avoided the internal affairs of the Jiang family.

"That's my husband and my daughter." Jiang Lian said, "They just came back from abroad."

Jian Jing: "So?"

"Nothing, just an introduction." Jiang Lian said calmly.

Jian Jing was about to speak when Jiang Baiyan suddenly opened his mouth and said very sincerely: "Teacher Jingjing, my brother-in-law looks good, right?"

She said: "Not bad."

"Sister, this is amazing." Jiang Baiyan tried his best to poke her sore spot, and said affectionately and surprised, "The men around Teacher Jingjing are all good-looking. People like me..."

He pointed at himself and said with emotion: "I may not be able to rank in the top three. But, my brother-in-law will definitely be ranked tenth."

Jian Jing: "...Puff."

Jiang Lian's face turned blue.

But this was just a small episode. Attorney Li brought up the real topic of this meeting.

"Teacher Jian found a secret compartment in the chairman's bedroom, which contained a locked safe. I extracted two fingerprints from the safe."

Attorney Li stood in the middle of the living room. All the crystal chandeliers on the ceiling were turned on. The dazzling light shone on everyone's face. No subtle expression could escape the eyes of others.

He looked around at everyone: "This afternoon, I extracted fingerprints from each of you and gave them to a friend in the professional field for comparison. The answer came out soon."

The air became very quiet. Some people wanted to speak, but they restrained themselves.

"One of the bigger fingerprints belongs to Mr. Jiang Guangze, and the other one..." Lawyer Li looked at them one by one, and finally stopped at a beautiful and dignified face, "Ms. Yin, it's yours."

Mrs. Jiang was stunned.

"You?" Jiang Ou suddenly stood up and raised his voice, "You killed Dad?"

Mrs. Jiang was very shrewd and quickly regained her composure: "It's not me, what safe?" She denied it, "I didn't even know there was a safe in the room."

"There are your fingerprints on the safe." Lawyer Li said coldly, "This is an indisputable fact, ma'am, you need to explain this."

Mrs. Jiang said: "I don't know about the safe at all - what's in it? Will?" She looked at Jian Jing, speaking quickly and breathing rapidly.

Jian said quietly, "I'm sorry, I don't know the password and didn't open it. Maybe Attorney Cai knows?"

Attorney Li was going to announce the answer tonight and of course invited Attorney Cai. He said calmly, "The will was indeed kept by the chairman, but I don't know where he put it."

"Madam, please explain this matter." Attorney Li said in a judgmental tone.

Mrs. Jiang said, "I don't know about the safe, and I don't know why my fingerprints are there. Someone must have framed me."

She asked the others, "Are you going to accept this answer?"

Jiang Qi said, "I don't see why there is anything unacceptable."

"What can a fingerprint represent?" Mrs. Jiang retorted, "What does this have to do with murder?"

Lawyer Li said, "Time. The chairman has been in this villa for half a month. There was always someone in the room during the day, so you had no chance to open the safe. I also asked the doctor. Three days before the chairman's death, he had trouble sleeping due to breathing problems. It was not until the last three days that he was injected with drugs.

"Before that, if you entered the room at night, you would be discovered. Only on the night of his death did you have the opportunity or motivation to peek at the will."

Mrs. Jiang sneered, "Continue. "

Lawyer Li was unmoved: "You made too much noise and woke up the chairman. You know, the chairman will change his will tomorrow. If something like this happens at night, he will most likely cancel your inheritance rights, so I decided to kill him."

"You're talking nonsense!" Jiang Xue couldn't stand it anymore. She pointed her finger at the tip of his nose and cursed, "Did Jiang Qi instruct you to put the blame on my mother? This was not my mother's doing."

Just like last night, she either kept silent or revealed something: "Jiang Ou, was it you? Last night, you sneaked into Dad's room, and I saw it all."

Jiang Ou's face was ashen: "Stop slandering me."

"You know in your heart whether it is slander or not. "Jiang Xue pressed on, "It was past 12 o'clock, I got up to go to the bathroom, and saw you coming out of the room and going into Dad's room - did you do it?"

Jiang Lian asked, "How did you see Xiao Ou when you went to the bathroom? There is a bathroom in your room, and his room is downstairs, how did you see it?"

"I, I got up to breathe some fresh air." Jiang Xue said, "Anyway, I saw it."

Jiang Ou asked, "Where is the evidence?"

"Are eyewitnesses not enough?"

Lawyer Li said, "Ms. Jiang Xue, in view of the competitive relationship between you and Mr. Jiang, your confession will not be credible even in court."

Jiang Xue looked at her mother for help.

Mrs. Jiang said, "Then you can use this evidence to sue me. See you in court."

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

"So, you are not going to explain the fingerprints? "Lawyer Li asked.

Mrs. Jiang remained silent.

He paused, turned to look at Jian Jing: "Teacher Jian, do you have anything to add?"

Jian Jing said: "Jiang Xue testified that Jiang Ou entered the room after 12 o'clock. I want to know, Mr. Jiang Ou, do you admit this?"

Jiang Ou pursed his lips for a long time and said: "I didn't go there."

"You are lying."
