Huang Weining said, "That's possible, but why would Liang Gen want to kill my grandfather? He definitely has nothing to do with the inheritance distribution. If he really wanted to kill my grandfather, he would have done it long ago. Why would he wait until now? "
Li Rui pondered for a while and said, "Our previous analysis was that someone was dissatisfied with the inheritance distribution and wanted to kill the old man. Now, we deduced that it was most likely Liang Gen who did it. If we connect the dots, could it be that … Liang Gen was bribed by that person and only appeared as an assassin while the real murderer was hiding behind the scenes? That would explain your question just now. Liang Gen had no reason to kill the old man, but he still did it. Uh, actually, if we were to talk about it, there are too many stories of people around a big shot being bribed by the enemy and drugged to kill the big shot. It's not rare at all. "
His half reasoning and half imagination had a huge impact on Huang Weining's thinking. She didn't know what to say for a while, so she simply closed her mouth and didn't say a word. She entered a silent state, cold and elegant, with a heroic spirit, like a quietly blooming winter plum.
Li Rui stared at her for a while and suddenly thought of something. He shouted, "Oh, I almost forgot a key point."
Huang Weining looked at him in confusion.
Li Rui shouted excitedly, "If it was really Liang Gen who killed the old man, then he could only have put the drug in the old man's thermos. We just need to find the thermos and find a place to test the residual liquid in it, then we can confirm it."
Huang Weining's heart jumped when she heard that. Her pair of beautiful eyes shot out two rays of light. She said, "You're right. I'll go find my grandfather's thermos right now. Wait for me!" After saying that, she quickly walked to the door.
Li Rui didn't expect that she would trust him so much that she would allow him to stay in her room and wait. He secretly sighed as he watched her leave the room. After returning to the bedroom, he pulled a chair over and sat down. He didn't sit on the bed, even though what he wanted the most right now was to climb onto the bed and sleep.
Last night, he had been drinking and rushing, so he had only slept for a little more than two hours. Although his physical fitness had always been good, and he had been able to persevere until now without any adverse effects, the strong sense of drowsiness in his body was still irresistible. However, he couldn't fall asleep now. He could only wait until he got home.
He waited and waited. After a quarter of an hour, Eldest Miss Huang finally returned.
"Hmm? You didn't find him? "
Li Rui saw that Huang Weining was empty-handed after entering the house. Her expression was gloomy and uncertain. He guessed that she probably came here in vain.
As expected, Huang Weining nodded sadly and said, "I didn't find it! I went to ask Butler Qi, and he took me to look through my grandfather's belongings. We found that all of my grandfather's belongings were still there, except for the thermos. Steward Qi didn't know the reason either. He had said that he wouldn't be able to see him when it was time to tidy up his belongings. Why did he suddenly disappear? It was very strange. It seems that your analysis is completely correct. The murderer drugged her through the thermos, and in order to cover up the evidence, he secretly took the thermos away, not giving us a chance to investigate. This murderer is very cunning! "
Li Rui sneered and said, "The murderer is very cunning, but he didn't know that this would only make things worse. He gave himself away and proved our inference." Huang Weining was silent for a while before she said faintly, "So what if it was proved? The clues have already been cut off. How can we continue to investigate? " Li Rui said, "Let's not talk about this first. Let me ask you, did you tell your father about Dr. Liu's findings? What did he say?" Huang Weining said with a calm expression, "I already told my father. He told me to keep it a secret for now, and to talk to you face to face when there's time."
Li Rui was very disappointed and sighed, "He already got such a clear test result, but your father is still so indifferent. Doesn't he want to know the real cause of your grandfather's death? Doesn't he want to find the murderer and bring him to justice? What is he thinking? " Huang Weining explained, "He … maybe he has his own considerations. After all, this is a big matter. If it's really someone in the family who did it, and the news spreads, our Huang family will face doubts, disdain, and even ridicule from all walks of life. The valuation of the family group's listed companies will also be affected. He has to consider the family."
Li Rui was infuriated when he didn't hear this, and mercilessly mocked, "Oh, so in your hearts, the family is the most important, and your ancestors are not important? But if you don't even care about your ancestors, how can you have the face to repeatedly mention your family? Family comes first, then clan. An unfilial person who can't even care about his family still wants to care about his clan? What a joke! Even if you talk about your family all the time, it's just hypocrisy. "
Huang Weining's pretty face sank. Her cold eyes swept across his face and said, "Mr. Li, do you know what you're talking about?"
Li Rui sneered and said, "Of course I know what I'm talking about. It's you, Miss Huang, who doesn't know. Hmph, hmph, you're all my brother's descendants, but your eyes are only fixed on the huge inheritance he left behind. You never care about his health. When his lung cancer was diagnosed, it was in the terminal stage, and it didn't happen in a day. He must have been suffering from it when he was in Malaysia. You, his descendants, were completely unaware of it. This at least shows that you didn't take his health seriously. After all, it's meaningless to talk about the past. But now, he's obviously been killed, and you don't care about it. Even if you know, you're just pretending to be deaf and dumb, deceiving yourselves and others. You're even saying that you're thinking about the family. But if it weren't for my brother, where did your so-called family come from? I finally understand now why my brother didn't tell you when he got cancer. It's because there's no point in telling you. You're only focused on his huge inheritance! It's ridiculous that I thought you could trust me. I even wanted to catch the murderer with you and avenge my brother. I was really blind! "
The more he spoke, the angrier he got. The angrier he got, the more agitated he got. Every sentence he said was harsher than the previous one. Occasionally, he would glare angrily and spit would fly everywhere. His momentum was quite frightening.
Huang Weining's pretty face was cold at first, and she was about to explode at any time. But when she saw his generous words, she was a little shocked. She fixed her eyes on him and waited until he finished speaking. Then, she asked coldly, "Are you done?"
Li Rui said proudly, "No! But I don't want to say anymore. It's a waste of saliva to say more. Since you guys are so afraid of this and that, then I don't want to work with you. I don't believe that with my own ability, I can't catch the real culprit and redress Big Brother's grievances! "After saying that, he resolutely walked towards the door.
"Stop!"
When Li Rui walked to the door, Huang Weining suddenly shouted. Her tone was filled with anger, as if she was going to attack him. Li Rui stopped and said without turning his head, "Why did you ask me to stop? Are you afraid that after I catch the murderer, your family's dirty linen will be spread around and affect your Huang family's reputation? Hmph, your Huang family is afraid, but an outsider like me isn't. I just want my brother to die in peace. I don't care about anything else! "
Huang Weining looked at his back with a cold expression. Her pretty face was like a frozen plum flower. She took a few steps closer to him and said coldly, "You're really fearless because you don't know anything! We're thinking about the family, which is actually thinking about my grandfather. If the murderer is really someone from the family, or even a close relative of mine, then if word gets out, won't it show that my grandfather didn't have a good upbringing? Do you want him to be ridiculed after he dies? Do you know that at the height of his life, reputation is more important than life? He … "
Li Rui didn't wait for her to finish and opened the door, leaving behind a sentence, "Don't try to flatter me. You're not the one who was killed!"
Huang Weining was stunned and immediately became tongue-tied. She stared blankly at the door. Her face quickly turned from white to red. Her expression also changed from astonishment to shame and anger. Her thin but handsome lips opened and she gasped for breath. After a long time, she said, "That guy!"
Not long after Li Rui came out, he received a call from Xu Da. When he saw that it was his good brother calling, he finally calmed down and raised his hand to answer.
"Where are you?"
Xu Da asked in a leisurely tone.
Li Rui was stunned and said, "Of course I'm in Qingyang. There's no need to ask, right? Haha. "Xu Da said," Do you think I don't know that you're in Qingyang? I'm asking you where you are. I'm almost there. Let's drink tonight. "Li Rui was surprised and happy. He said," You're here to drink with me? " Xu Da said lazily, "Yes, I'm bored so I came to drink with you. I'm already on the train. I'll be there soon." Li Rui smiled and said, "That's great. I have all the time tonight. Also, I'm not in a good mood. You can come and listen to me complain …"
When they got off work in the evening, the sky was still very bright. The afterglow of the setting sun was still flickering in the western sky. Li Rui and Xu Da were already enjoying cold beer and fragrant roast mutton in a Muslim barbeque restaurant on West Second Ring Road.
"Roasted chives! Fried grasshoppers! "
Following the waiter's call, two fresh dishes were placed on the table.
Li Rui pointed at the fried grasshoppers with his chopsticks and said, "Brother, try this fried grasshopper. Tsk tsk, the more you eat it, the more fragrant it is and the more you want to eat it!" Xu Da picked up a fat grasshopper that was fried until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. He put it into his mouth and chewed for a while. He nodded and said, "The more you chew it, the more fragrant it is. Not bad." As he spoke, he raised his wine glass.
Li Rui clinked his glass with him. The two of them finished the wine in their glasses and then poured themselves a new one.
Xu Da asked, "You said on the phone that you're not in a good mood. What do you mean?" Li Rui paused when he heard that. He put down the skewer in his hand and sighed. He raised his wine glass and gulped down two big mouthfuls. He then said angrily, "It's a long story. Listen to me slowly …"
