"Sifu, is there anything else that needs to be said?" Su Jinmei shouted at Zhao Yu in front of Li Chen. "It's too obvious. The truth is exactly what we thought it was! Ai Lili used ten million to bribe Le Chao, so that he could get close to Chen Bingxian and frame him. Then, all of Ai Lili's obstacles would be cleared! The mastermind is Ai Lili, so we can arrest her now! "
"Brilliant, really brilliant!" Li Chen clapped his hands in shock and said, "Why didn't I realize that the chairman's wife was so calculative? It really was a trap within a trap! Brilliant! Really brilliant! "
Su Jinmei and Li Chen were excited, but Zhao Yu was still creasing his eyebrows.
"Sifu, what's wrong?" Su Jinmei asked. "Captain Zhang and the others are already preparing. What are you waiting for?"
"Manager Li!" Zhao Yu didn't answer Su Jinmei, but asked Li Chen instead, "Ai Lili designed such a perfect plan, so how could there be such an obvious loophole? Let me ask you, if the ten million that Ai Lili took out from the bank was the same ten million that Le Chao put in the locker, is there any way to prove it? "
"Of course! Is there a need to say more? "Su Jinmei interrupted and said," There is a record of the ten million that was taken out from the bank! Check it, the evidence is conclusive! "
"No, not necessarily …" Li Chen suddenly lowered his body and said, "The ten million was taken out from the chairman's personal account, not from the bank, nor was it in cash. You don't know that for a tycoon like him, the daily flow of funds is rather large, and there are some … gray areas … You know! So, because it involves breaking the law, his personal account is rather hidden … "
"Huh? What do you mean? " Su Jinmei's eyes were wide open. "Are you saying that, even though we know that Ai Lili is the mastermind, there is no way to convict her? You are the general manager, so you must have a way! "
"There is, but …" Li Chen creased his eyebrows and said, "Even if I cooperate fully, it will be very troublesome to investigate, because a lot of the funds came from overseas. So, it will take at least two to three months! Plus, even if we find the flow of funds, we might not be able to prove that the money was taken out by Ai Lili! We can't be sure that it's the reward for the murderer, so … "
"No way …" Su Jinmei said gloomily, "This sum of money is the only evidence. If we can't prove that it's the same sum of money, what should we do?"
"This is exactly what I was worried about!" Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "The reason why Chen Bingxian pleaded guilty was because of the evidence that Le Chao left behind! However, it was totally different for Ai Lili!
"If we can't prove that the ten million was given by Ai Lili to Le Chao, we won't have any evidence to accuse Ai Lili! So, tell Little Zhang not to act rashly for the time being! "
"How cunning!" Su Jinmei pinched her chin and said angrily, "Are we just going to watch Ai Lili reap the benefits without doing anything?"
"The key is …" Zhao Yu pinched his chin and said, "The case is still unclear. We can't be so sure that Ai Lili is the mastermind!"
"10 million? Isn't it obvious, Master? "Su Jinmei said," Do you think there's another murderer? Who else? It's obvious that Ai Lili is the biggest beneficiary! If it wasn't her, who else could it be? "
"No!" Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "Although Ai Lili is the biggest beneficiary, and she most likely participated in it! But, I still feel that all of this wasn't planned by Ai Lili! "
"Then … Who else could it be?" Su Jinmei asked in shock. "Could it be Chen Bingguang, who was in a coma?"
"You … What are you talking about?" Li Chen was so scared that his face turned pale. "Don't … Don't talk nonsense, okay?"
"True!" Su Jinmei lowered her head and said, "Even if Chen Bingguang pretended to be in a coma, how could he hire a murderer to kill his own daughters? If he was the mastermind, it would be more likely that he killed Ai Lili! "
"Mm … Kill Ai Lili?" Zhao Yu moved slightly and said, "Yeah? Back then, if Chen Bingxian hired a murderer to kill someone, why didn't he kill Ai Lili directly? Why did he have to kill a pair of sisters? "
"I know that!" Su Jinmei replied. "In Chen Bingxian's confession, he mentioned that if he were to kill Ai Lili directly, he wouldn't be able to deal with the Chen sisters! So, if he were to kill the Chen sisters and frame Ai Lili, he would be able to kill two birds with one stone! After all, Ai Lili is a stepmother. If he were to frame her, it would be more beneficial to the public! "
"This Chen Bingxian is so cruel!" Li Chen said agitatedly. "Mili and Mochi are his nieces, after all. How could he bear to kill them? He's worse than a beast!"
"Yeah!" Su Jinmei said. "If Chen Bingxian had only killed Ai Lili, he could have taken over the chairman's position and controlled the company. But, then, his motive would be too obvious, and he would definitely be suspected by the police! "
"But, if he were to kill the Chen sisters and frame Ai Lili, it would be different! If he were to succeed, not only could he take over the company, but he could also take over Chen Bingguang's assets! The risk was worth taking! "
"Oh … Oh …" Suddenly, Zhao Yu's eyes lit up. He suddenly realized something and said, "I seem to have figured out the entire situation! It turns out that the mastermind behind the scheme was him!!! "
"Huh? What? "Su Jinmei was shocked and asked quickly," Sifu, who is the real murderer? Hurry up and tell me! "
"Jinmei," Zhao Yu said agitatedly, "Do you remember what I told you back then? Only those crimes with coincidences in the scheme are the most difficult for us to detect. "
"I remember, I remember, but … I don't understand, Sifu." Su Jinmei stared with her eyes wide open, waiting for Zhao Yu to reveal the answer.
But, Zhao Yu had only said the word "so," when Li Chen's office phone suddenly rang.
Ring ring ring …
Ring ring ring …
Li Chen apologized and hurriedly picked up the phone. But, just as he heard a few words, his body suddenly trembled and his face changed.
After he hung up the phone, Li Chen said to Zhao Yu and Su Jinmei in a panic, "Both of you, bad news. The hospital called and said that Chairman Chen … He is dying!"
"Huh? How … "Zhao Yu and Su Jinmei were shocked.
"I'm sorry, I have to rush over now!" Li Chen said anxiously. "Let's talk about our matters later! Please help yourselves … "
After that, Li Chen didn't care about anything else and jogged out of the office.
"Sifu … This …" Su Jinmei looked at Zhao Yu helplessly.
At that very moment, Zhao Yu looked like he was frozen in place. He stared at the ceiling in the distance, not moving an inch!
"Sifu … Sifu …" Su Jinmei urged him softly, but Zhao Yu didn't respond.
After dozens of seconds, Zhao Yu suddenly jumped up from his chair.
