This is actually a very insidious and vicious killing method, because in this way, when Lin Ruo is poisoned and dies, the murderer does not have to appear next to the victim, so it is less likely to arouse suspicion.
It can be seen from this that the people who came to Tian Chunda this time were not ordinary people.
The day after Lin Ruo's tragic death, a visitor from Tian Cunda came to Hongye Hotel.
When Tian Chunda took the business card with the words "Gu Gong" written on it from the waitress, he couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Gu Gong is the director of Gu Gong Law Firm, the legal advisor of Hong Li's family, and the person who keeps Hong Li's will.
Thinking of this, Tian Chunda couldn't help but feel a heartbeat, and he immediately ordered the waitress to bring the guests in.
Lawyer Gu Gong arrived soon. He was a gentleman in his sixties with a dark complexion and a serious expression.
While observing Tian Chunda with professional and keen eyes, he exchanged simple greetings and apologized for his sudden visit.
Tian Chunda smiled habitually and said: "No, don't take it to heart...Actually, what happened yesterday also surprised me. I believe you should be even more surprised!"
"Yes, this incident is so unexpected that I doubt its authenticity. However, in fact, I came to visit you specifically for this purpose today."
"Is it?"
"Just now the local police station told me that Lin Ruo entrusted you with some kind of investigation?"
Tian Chunda nodded.
"That's right! Did he entrust you with a letter?"
"Well, yes, it's a pity that Mr. Lin Ruo was killed before I saw him, so I don't know the details."
"Oh, yes!"
Tian Chunda stared at lawyer Gu Gong and asked slowly:
"Mr. Gu Gong, are you the Hong Li family's legal adviser?"
"That's right."
"So, you have the responsibility to protect the Hongli family's reputation?"
"Of course it is."
"In fact, Mr. Gu Gong."
Tian Chunda suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I was also thinking about the Hongli family's reputation, so I didn't tell the outside world about it."
As Tian Chunda spoke, he took out the letter sent by Lin Ruo and paid close attention to the expression on lawyer Gu Gong's face when he read the letter.
Lawyer Gu Gong looked quite surprised. Not only was cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, but even the hand holding the letter was shaking.
"Mr. Gu Gong, do you have any opinion on the content of this letter?"
When lawyer Gu Gong was asked by Tian Chunda, his shoulders immediately shook, as if he was greatly frightened.
"I think this letter is really incredible. Even if something big is about to happen to the Hong Li family, how could Mr. Lin Ruo know about it in advance? And why is he so convinced? Mr. Gu Gong, are you sure about this matter? What do you think?"
"this……"
Lawyer Gu Gong's expression looked uncertain. It seemed that he knew something, but he didn't know whether to say it or not.
Tian Chunda quickly leaned forward and said:
"Mr. Gu Gong, are you really unclear about the investigation that Mr. Lin Ruo entrusted me with?"
"I don't know, but now that I think about it, Lin Ruo's words and deeds a few days ago were indeed a little unusual. He seemed very nervous and scared..."
"afraid of what?"
"This... this is the first time I have thought about this after Lin Ruo was killed..."
Lawyer Gu Gong seemed hesitant to speak.
"Do you know what he is afraid of?"
Finally, lawyer Gu Gong made up his mind and said to Tian Chunda: "It should be about Mr. Hong Li's will!"
"Oh, a will? What's going on?"
"The will has been locked in the safe in my office. After Lin Ruo was killed yesterday, I suddenly felt uneasy, so I checked the safe and found that someone seemed to have peeked at the will."
Tian Chunda couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard this, and quickly asked: "Has someone peeked at the will?"
Lawyer Gu Gong nodded sadly and continued: "Since Zuo Qing will be back soon, this will will be made public sooner or later. What I am worried about is whether there will be any commotion when this will is made public. …”
"Is there anything unusual about this will?"
"Very unusual!"
Lawyer Gu Gong said categorically: "This will is extremely unusual, as if it was intended to stir up mutual hatred among the surviving family members. I also tried hard to dissuade Mr. Hong Li from doing this, but he insisted on it... "
"Can you reveal some of the contents of the will to me?"
"No, no!"
Lawyer Gu Gong waved his hand and said: "I absolutely cannot do this. Because Mr. Hong Li said that the contents of the will must not be disclosed before Zuo Qing returns home, so..."
"I understand. In that case, I won't ask any more questions. However, you said that someone seems to have peeked at the will. I think only the survivors of the Hongli family are interested in the contents of the will, so it may not be difficult to find out who it is. Secretly open the safe.”
"No, I don't think they will have any chance to open the safe. However, it is also possible that someone bribed Lin Ruo, because only he can open the safe. Presumably Lin Ruo later discovered that the contents of the will would bring disaster to the Hongli family , that’s why I’m so worried and scared.”
"Why will this will bring disaster to the Hongli family?"
"Do you remember that a strange thing happened on the lake yesterday..."
Lawyer Gu Gong gave Tian Chunda a meaningful look.
Hearing this, Tian Chunda raised his head.
"Ah! About the boat..."
"Yes, I heard that you also investigated the boat..."
"Well, I checked and found that someone had indeed tampered with the bottom of the boat, and the hole was plugged with lead powder. Judging from this situation, Zhu Shi's name probably also appears in the will?"
"You are right, she does play an important role in the will. Frankly speaking, as long as she survives, she has the right to decide who is the successor to the Hongli family."
Tian Chunda couldn't help but have the image of that peerless beauty pop up in his mind.
What kind of fate did Hong Li arrange for that holy, unparalleled beauty? At this moment, Tian Chunda seemed to see the small boat submerged in the lake under the sunset, and behind Zhu Shi on the small boat, there was a huge black hand, slowly reaching out to her...
*******
Two weeks after Tian Chun arrived at Hongye Valley, that is, on November 1, 201x, Hongye Valley was filled with a tense atmosphere early in the morning.
This is because Zuo Qing, the grandson of Hong Li's parents who returned from abroad, returned home late last night accompanied by his mother Hong Xiangsong.
It is undeniable that the prosperity of Hongye Valley is closely related to Hongli's fate.
Hongli's family will prosper, and Hongye Valley will also benefit from it.
In the past, Hongye Valley was originally a small lakeside village that was cold, surrounded by mountains, and not rich in agricultural products. The reason why it has grown from a population of hundreds of thousands to its current urban form is entirely due to the development of Hongli Group here.
