"I just want to know about my brother. I heard that I met you before my brother was killed?"
Although Zhu Wenye said this, people who knew the inside story of Hongli's family would not believe that the conversation between these two people stopped.
Zhu Wenye is not an ugly girl; on the contrary, she can even be called a beauty.
But since Zhu Shi, the beauty of the century, lived under the same roof, Zhu Wenye's beauty was immediately outshone.
However, even so, before Hong Li's will was made public, Zhu Wenye himself did not feel that he was inferior to Zhu Shi in any way. No, it should be said that Zhu Shi was not important at all in Zhu Wenye's eyes.
Although Zhu Shi is indeed a great beauty, no matter how you say it, she is just a poor creature who relies on others and lives in Hong Li's house.
Besides, Zhu Wenye always believed that as Hong Li's granddaughter, she should have a legacy no matter what.
So she had always believed that Xin Youzhi would choose her without hesitation.
Zhu Wenye has liked Xin Youzhi since he was a child. As he grows older, this feeling becomes more and more unextricable. And Xin Youzhi doesn't seem to hate Zhu Wenye. If everything goes well, Xin Youzhi's cunning parents will definitely encourage their son to marry Zhu Wenye in order to get more of the Hongli family's property.
But things were not as beautiful as Zhu Wenye originally thought. When she knew that she had suddenly become insignificant, she also realized that Zhu Zhen, whom she had never cared about, had now become a happy woman with a halo, which made her even more What was unacceptable was that even Xin Youzhi began to beg for mercy from Zhu Shi.
This incident was undoubtedly a great humiliation for Xiang Qi to Zhu Wenye. The reason why she came to Zhu Shi at this time was precisely for this matter.
After all, after Zhu Wenwu died, Zhu Shi's chance of choosing Xin Youzhi increased relatively. What's more, Zuo Qing has now become completely unrecognizable, making people afraid to look at him, so Zhu Wenye can't help but feel worried.
What exactly the two women talked about in Zhu Shi's living room may never be known. Because asking Zhu Wenye to tell the content of their conversation is as difficult as asking her to tell the location of the treasure, and Zhu Shi, a woman who doesn't like to discuss people's merits, will never say anything slanderous to Zhu Wenye.
In short, after they talked for half an hour, Zhu Shi sent Zhu Wenye away and immediately opened the door to the bedroom.
It is worth noting that her dormitory has no other entrances and exits except the door leading to the living room.
Because Zhu Shi wanted to rest early, after sending Zhu Wenye away, she immediately opened the door to the bedroom and turned on the light switch on the wall.
But at this moment, a shrill scream spread throughout the dormitory...
The next day, when Zhu Shi answered Captain Tian's interrogation, he narrated this: "Well, as soon as I turned on the light in the dormitory, I saw a person jumping out of the dormitory. Because it happened so suddenly, the details I’m not very sure, but that man seemed to be wearing a military uniform. He lowered his combat cap and covered his face with a scarf... Because of this, his bright eyes attracted me even more. I feel very impressed.
Because the man suddenly rushed towards me like a black whirlwind, I couldn't help but scream. The man then knocked me away and ran away towards the corridor; what happened next was just like what others described. "
"By the way, Miss Zhu Shi, do you know why that man is hiding in your dormitory?"
Regarding Captain Tian’s question, Zhu Shi answered this way——
"I don't know, but I later discovered that someone seemed to be looking through the living room. No, nothing was stolen from me. I thought this person might just be looking for something. Because Zhu Wenye and I happened to be back at that time, so the person panicked He hid in the dormitory in a panic. Well, as you can see, my dormitory has only one exit and no other passages, and the windows are all closed. If he wanted to open the window, he would definitely make a noise; so he had to hide in the dormitory. Here, until Zhu Wenye leaves."
"I see, then what do you think this man is looking for? Do you have anything that the man covets?"
"I don't know about this. But this man must be looking for small things, because I have a small drawer with rings and earrings opened."
"But you're not missing anything?"
"Yes."
When Zhu Shi's screams echoed through the entire Hongli family, all the men in the family happened to have alibi.
The first is Zuo Qing, who was in his room at that time. In addition to Hong Xiangsong, the host Zhiqing can also testify about this matter, so there should be no problem.
Host Zhiqing stayed at Hong Li's house that night and chatted in Hong Xiangsong's room for a while, so he also heard the scream. Afterwards, he explained the situation as follows:
"At about ten o'clock, I was chatting in Mrs. Hong Xiangsong's room when I suddenly heard a woman's scream. We both stood up, and then Zuo Qing also ran in from the next room and said it was Zhu Shi's voice. Then I rushed out of the courtyard barefoot. I was startled and hurriedly came to the corridor, but Zuo Qing was nowhere to be seen. Because it was quite dark last night, and it was raining heavily..."
Next was Zhu Wenwu’s father, Zhu Yin, who was guarding his son’s mourning hall with his wife Hong Xiangzhu. In addition to Hong Xiangzhu, there are three other maids who can testify to this matter; because the maids are cleaning the place for the wake.
Finally, there were Xin Youzhi and his father Xinji. They were in their room getting ready to go to bed when they heard the screams. In addition to Xinji's wife Hong Xiangmei, the two maids who prepared his bedding can also testify to this matter.
As soon as Xin Youzhi heard the screams, his face changed drastically and he rushed out. Xinji also followed behind and ran out to see what happened.
But the one closest to Zhu Shi's room was Zhu Wenye.
She just left Zhu Shi's room, and as soon as she came to the corridor, she heard the scream. Zhu Wenye was frightened and immediately walked back. Unexpectedly, he saw two people bumping into each other.
One is a man in military uniform, and the other is Yuan Zhuang.
"What? What did you say? Yuan Zhuang bumped into a man in military uniform?"
Captain Tian was surprised when he heard this testimony.
It was no wonder, because he had always suspected that the man in military uniform was Yuan Zhuang, but now this assumption was shattered by Zhu Wenye's testimony.
"Well, that's right. Not only did I see it with my own eyes, but I also talked to Yuan Zhuang afterwards!"
Zhu Wenye particularly emphasized this point.
After the man in military uniform bumped into Yuan Zhuang, he immediately jumped out of the corridor and ran away.
