"No... no..." Wei Yulang understood what Xu Zhen meant, but shook his head in disbelief and said, "This is impossible, impossible!"
According to Xu Zhen, if the person Sonner looked at before he died was not Wei Yulang, it could only be someone close to Wei Yulang.
There was only one person standing next to Wei Yulang at that time, and that was Mrs. Wei! ! !
"She..." Wei Yulang said tremblingly, "She went to Ziyang Palace. How could it be her? She wasn't even there!"
"Because of this," Xu Zhen nodded, "she will not be suspected by anyone and can get away with it perfectly."
"Ah?" Wei Yulang stared at Xu Zhen with doubt in his eyes.
"After a person dies, the body gradually becomes stiff," Xu Zhen said. "Miss Wei's rigor mortis has spread to her limbs, which shows that her death time has been far longer than three hours."
"How is that possible?" Wei Yulang didn't believe it.
"I have already asked the maids who woke up early in the morning," Xu Zhen added. "They were just outside the house to remind Miss Wei to get up, and they were scolded by Miss Wei. At that time, they did not enter the room and did not see Miss Wei with their own eyes. .”
"You... you mean..." Wei Yulang opened his mouth wide, "At that time, my daughter had already been killed? Then... who was the one who spoke?"
"If I'm not wrong," Xu Zhen said solemnly, "the incident should be like this. Mrs. Wei sneaked into Miss Wei's room as early as midnight, lured her to get up, and then killed her.
"And there is another person with her, Sonny!
"Mrs. Wei knew that something had happened at Sonner's family and she was in urgent need of money. Moreover, Sonny had been poured boiling water on by Miss Wei, and she felt resentful.
"So she made a deal with Sonny to be the scapegoat. Once they fail to frame Asheng, Sonny will take the blame!
"After the murder, Mrs. Wei asked Sonner to stay in the house and left the murder weapon with Sonner, asking her to disguise the scene as a theft so that she could blame Asheng.
"When the maid woke up to wake him up, Sonny covered his mouth with a sheet, imitated Miss Wei's voice and cursed loudly, saying that he would not go to burn incense, so as to ward off the maid who woke up."
"Bed sheets?" Wei Yulang frowned.
"The maid who called me said that the voice they heard at that time was a bit muffled, so they couldn't accurately identify it. It must be Miss Wei who spoke.
"However," Xu Zhen added, "they did not become suspicious, because they would naturally believe that Miss Wei's voice came from under the quilt, and even if there were some abnormalities, it was normal.
"Besides, Miss Wei has such a bad temper, how can the maids dare to enter the house to check?"
Bang...
Hearing this, Wei Yulang's clenched fists made a banging sound, but after careful consideration, he still raised an objection:
"Since she has already found a lowly slave to take the blame, why would she do it herself?"
Xu Zhen did not answer directly, but gestured to Son'er's body.
"Oh..." Wei Yulang realized on his own: Son'er's body is too weak and she has no experience. If she is allowed to kill people directly, the probability of failure is very high.
But Mrs. Wei is not the case. The Rama tribe is a warlike and aggressive people from the Western Regions. As Princess Rama, she is not only tall, but also has learned equestrian martial arts and killing skills since she was a child.
If you want to kill Miss Wei, it's no problem.
"I asked the guards of the Wei Mansion," Xu Zhen said again, "The house is heavily patrolled and guarded, and it is extremely difficult for outsiders to approach Miss Wei's boudoir.
"However, Mrs. Wei's residence is only separated from the boudoir by a courtyard wall. If you know the patrol rules, you can easily avoid everyone and sneak into the boudoir.
"In addition, there is the most important point, which is the motive for the murder!" Xu Zhen said again, "I heard that you want to designate the third lady as your successor and inherit the family business, right?"
ah! ! ?
Wei Yulang sat down, his eyes full of extremely complex expressions, shock, anger, regret, frustration...
Various emotions intertwined and entwined, making the high-spirited Wei Yulang gradually slump. When he raised his head again, he seemed to have aged much older in an instant.
Yes, once he passes away in the future and the third young lady takes over the Wei family, it is conceivable that Mrs. Wei, the little mother, will still have a good life?
"Wei Sicheng," Xu Zhen said calmly when he saw Wei Yulang looking like this, "Once the case is investigated, it becomes your family matter. How do you want to handle it? It's your humble duty to do whatever you want.
"Don't worry, if Wei Sicheng doesn't want to make any noise, then he must keep his mouth shut, and the case will end here!"
Xu Zhen made it very clear that it was up to Wei Yulang to decide whether to find the mastermind behind the scenes. After all, the real murderer and the deceased were his closest relatives.
"Obstacles, they are all obstacles!" Wei Yulang sighed up to the sky, and said with grief and anger, "The one who caused the evil is none other than me... Sigh..."
Xu Zhen was surprised to see that Wei Yulang, known as one of the four bullies, had a little moisture in the corners of his eyes.
"Little catcher," Wei Yulang raised his head and said, "Since we have reached this point, let your yamen handle official business!"
"Oh?" Xu Zhen confirmed, "Do you really want to get to the bottom of it?"
"Well," Wei Yulang nodded with difficulty, "How can I feel at ease in the future if I keep such a vicious person? What's more, she killed my daughter, how can I not hold her accountable!?"
"Okay, since Wei Sicheng has made up his mind, I will do my best in this humble position, but..." Xu Zhen deliberately lengthened his voice and fell into hesitation.
"What?" Wei Yulang heard the question and asked, "Do you mean that we may not be able to catch him? Is it... that there is no evidence?"
"It's not that there is no evidence, it's just that... there are some deficiencies," Xu Zhen said in a dilemma, "Once the real murderer denies it, the case will reach a deadlock. It will not be able to convict, but it will also hurt feelings, so the gain outweighs the loss!"
"What evidence do you have?" Wei Yulang asked.
Xu Zhen approached Wei Yulang and whispered the answer in his ear.
After Wei Yulang heard this, his brows slowly furrowed. Indeed, as Xu Zhen said, this evidence was not sufficient.
"Then..." Wei Yulang suddenly thought, pointing to Son'er's body and said, "You have never let me spread the news of this bitch's death before, so what if we use her to make an issue?
"Pretend that she is still alive and that she told me all the truth?"
"No," Xu Zhen shook his head, "If Mrs. Wei had tried to come in to check the situation during this period, this plan might be possible.
"But she didn't come, which shows that she understands the toxicity of the poison and is sure that Sonny will be poisoned to death. If we use Sonny to make an issue, I'm afraid she won't be fooled!"
"What should we do?" Wei Yulang clenched his fists, "If she refuses to admit it, is there nothing we can do to her? My daughter can't die in vain, right?"
After saying this, Wei Yulang suddenly saw a wise light in Xu Zhen's eyes.
"Oh?" he asked hurriedly, "Do you have any idea?"
"Well," Xu Zhen nodded and said, "But it will require your high degree of cooperation..."
