Chapter 974 The Real Murderer
"Uncle, are you here to see grandma too?" Gu Shuzhi was friendly to them, as if he had no grudge against Gu Zhaoye for being punished by the family.
Gu Zhaoming admired his nephew and nodded lightly, "Are you here to see her too?"
Gu Shuzhi smiled and said, "Uncle, I'm here to see you."
"Oh?" Gu Zhaoming was a little surprised.
"I know that my uncle's family has been investigating the incident when my aunt was in a car accident. I got some news here and I want to talk to my uncle." Gu Shuzhi said.
Gu Zhaoming nodded and found a restaurant nearby to sit down and talk.
"What do you know?" Gu Zhaoming got 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, and I can tell my uncle, but my 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 eyes and added, "Don't worry, my aunt's car accident has nothing to do with our third branch."
Gu Zhaoming nodded, "If you can really find the murderer, I will not attack your third branch again because of the previous incident. But the premise is that what you said is true."
Seeing Gu Zhaoming's agreement, 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 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, it was he who helped settle us. The Fifth Elder has been persuading Zhaoming to return to the capital over the years.
The murderer's motive was that he didn't want Yangyang and Xiaojin to pass the exams and return to the capital to study. If it was the Fifth Elder, wouldn't it be contradictory?"
Gu Zhaoming looked at Gu Shuzhi silently, his eyes deep and cold: "Gu Shuzhi, do you have any evidence to say so?"
Gu Yang, Gu Jin and Feng Jue were silent.
"Uncle, I know you have a deep relationship with the Fifth Elder. He has helped you a lot, whether it was more than 20 years ago or now. But people will change. Even the most honest person will do anything if he is obsessed." Gu Shuzhi said, and put his cell phone on the table.
A familiar voice came from the phone.
It was a recording of a call between the Fifth Elder and a middle-aged man.
"Here is two million in cash, so your father can 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: "Do you want to confess whether it is the second wife, the third wife or the old lady?"
The Fifth Elder: "No need. Let your father hold it to death. It is a personal grudge. Close the case as soon as possible. Make it as confusing as possible. Don't contact your father, go abroad immediately, and don't expose your relationship."
"Okay."
After the recording was played, Gu Pei and Ruan Xueling were shocked and silent.
Gu Zhaoming tightened his grip on the phone, then looked at Gu Shuzhi, "Who is that person? I remember that your third room's housekeeper has only 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 said everything, "The person who talked to the fifth elder is the illegitimate son of our third room's housekeeper. The housekeeper and his wife have no sons, and there is only this illegitimate son outside.
This recording came from the illegitimate son. The reason why I was able to find out about this matter is that... , or because I found it when I checked the Fifth Elder's account. After all, the Fifth Elder helped your first house a lot. I couldn't deal with you at that time, so I thought of starting with the Fifth Elder who has the best relationship with you, and check if he has left any handle.
The time of his transfer was a bit sensitive, so I asked someone to check the account and found that it was the illegitimate child of our housekeeper. I felt something was wrong, so I went to find the housekeeper's illegitimate child. "
