Gu Zhaoming admired his nephew and nodded calmly, "Are you here to see her too?"

Gu Shuzhi smiled and said, "Uncle, I came to see you."

"Oh?" Gu Zhaoming was a little surprised.

"I know that my uncle's family has been investigating the incident in which my aunt got into a car accident. I have learned some information and would like to talk to my uncle," said Gu Shuzhi.

Gu Zhaoming nodded and found a restaurant nearby to sit down and talk.

"What do you know?" Gu Zhaoming went straight to the point as soon as he sat down.

Gu Shuzhi clasped his hands on his legs and said calmly, "I know who the murderer is. I can tell uncle, but uncle has to promise me that the grudge between you and my father will be written off."

As he spoke, he met Gu Zhaoming's gaze and added, "Don't worry, uncle. Aunt's car accident has nothing to do with our third room."

Gu Zhaoming nodded, "If you can really find the murderer, I will not take action against your third room because of what happened before. But the premise is that what you said is true."

Seeing Gu Zhaoming agreed, Gu Shuzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Pei was a little impatient, "Who is it?"

Gu Shuzhi looked at Gu Zhaoming and said with a half-smile, "It's someone who surprised us all. The Fifth Elder."

"What?!"

Hearing this, everyone present was surprised.

"How could it be the Fifth Elder? The Fifth Elder has always been good to our family. What reason does he have to harm our family?" Gu Pei didn't believe it at all, and looked at Gu Shuzhi suspiciously: "Are you deliberately trying to sow discord?"

Ruan Xueling didn't believe it either, and her eyes turned cold when she looked at Gu Shuzhi, "When our family returned to the capital, he helped us settle down, and the Fifth Elder has been persuading Zhaoming to return to the capital all these years.

The murderer's motive was that he didn't want Yangyang and Xiaojin to pass the exam and return to Beijing to study. If it was the Fifth Elder, wouldn't that be contradictory?"

Gu Yang, Gu Jin and Feng Jue remained silent.

"Uncle, I know you have a deep relationship with the Fifth Elder. He has helped you a lot, both more than 20 years ago and now. But people change. Even the most honest and simple person will do anything if he is obsessed with something." Gu Shuzhi said, putting his phone on the table.

A familiar voice came from the phone.

It is a recording of a phone call between the fifth elder and a middle-aged man.

"Here's two million in cash, tell your dad to shut up." Unlike the usual kind and gentle image of the Fifth Elder, his voice was cold at this moment.

The middle-aged man asked, "Who do you want to confess? The second wife, the third wife, or the old lady?"

Fifth Elder: "No need for that. Let your father die because of a personal grudge. Close the case as soon as possible. The more confusing it is, the better. Don't contact your father. Leave the country immediately and don't expose your relationship."

"good."

When the recording was played, Gu Pei and Ruan Xueling were both shocked and silent.

Gu Zhaoming's hand tightened around the phone, and then he looked at Gu Shuzhi, "Who is that person? I remember that the housekeeper of your third room only has a daughter but no son. Where did you get this recording? How did you find out about this?"

Gu Shuzhi did not hide it and told the whole story: "The person who talked to the fifth elder is the illegitimate son of our third housekeeper. The housekeeper and his wife have no sons, and this is the only illegitimate child outside.

This recording came from the illegitimate child. I was able to discover this because I found it when I checked the Fifth Elder's account. After all, the Fifth Elder helped your eldest family a lot. I couldn't deal with you at that time, so I thought of starting with the Fifth Elder who had the best relationship with you, and checking if he had any evidence.

The timing of his transfer was somewhat sensitive, so I had someone check the account and found out it was our housekeeper’s illegitimate child. I felt something was wrong, so I went to look for the housekeeper’s illegitimate child.”
