Perhaps after receiving the order from the third lady, the bearer carrying the sedan ran as fast as he could. Zhuang Youjie felt as if the breakfast in his stomach was about to be knocked out.
"What, what's going on!"
"Looking at it like this, another person from the Lin family must have died in this moment." Liang Yuanque held the top of the sedan with one hand and opened the curtain with the other to check the situation.
I just don’t know if it was a sudden death or an accident.
As a detective, Liang Yuanque would certainly not put the theory of the divine turtle first. He still had a vague feeling in his heart that the Lin family was being targeted by some vicious murderer.
Generally speaking, this kind of murder aimed at extermination probably only serves two purposes.
First, in order to embezzle family wealth, you must kill them all, let alone men, women, or children. Even the eggs in the henhouse have to be shaken for you.
The other is for the purpose of revenge. The so-called love for the whole family is the same as hatred. Sometimes, "I wish your whole family would die" is not just an angry statement.
Judging from the current situation of the Lin family, Liang Yuanque is more inclined to encounter the second situation.
After all, if you want to kill them all in order to embezzle family property, you can just find a wave of bandits to rush in with machetes and chop down a gasping person. There is no need to go to such trouble to make a "ghost murderer" "Conspiracy?"
However, there are also times when these two situations can be considered side by side. For example, if you have a grudge, you kill the other person's family bit by bit in this torturous way, and then inherit the family property as a matter of course.
In short, they haven't arrived at Lin's house yet and haven't learned the specific situation yet. All of this is just speculation.
The hotel owner had just told them that the stone tower was not far from the Lin family.
Sure enough, after a few bumpy steps, the bearer got off the sedan. Liang Yuanque jumped down neatly and saw this luxurious mansion standing in the mud of loess.
Miss Lin San had already got off the sedan first, and hurried in without the help of the maid.
Liang Yuanque helped Zhuang Youjie down, and the two walked into the Lin Mansion under the guidance of the servant.
As soon as he stepped through the second door, he heard heart-wrenching cries, and the entire Lin family was filled with grief.
The servants guided them through the corridor and to the main hall door. Some servants were already busy tearing off white cloth and preparing incense, ash, paper money.
Sitting on the throne in the main hall was an old woman with gray hair. She was supporting Miss Lin San and was crying out of breath.
After the servant made a report, the old lady finally came back to her senses and opened her swollen eyes to look at Liang Yuanque and the others.
Miss Lin San also hurriedly covered her face with a fan and whispered to the old woman,
"Grandma, these are the two Feng Shui masters."
The old lady must have been someone who walked through the scene. In such a sad situation, she still tried hard to calm down and face outsiders.
"Two gentlemen, you must have heard about the situation of our Lin family. Do you have any advice?"
Liang Yuanque was not in a hurry, and instead of showing off his "skills", he asked the old lady,
"Old madam, may I ask who you are who passed away just now?"
Thinking of this, the old lady's eyes were covered with a layer of concealment. The death of a loved one is a particularly difficult thing to accept, especially...
Liang Yuanque changed his expression to a serious one, "It is really uncomfortable for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person away, but he has passed away, so please forgive me."
At first glance, these words sounded like nothing, just a simple comfort from an outsider, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that Liang Yuanque judged that the deceased person was her junior before the old lady answered.
The old lady's expression was stunned for a moment, and even Zhuang Youjie behind Liang Yuanque was stunned.
However, Zhuang Youjie has participated in many cases with him, and his thinking has gradually been tempered, and he soon figured it out.
On the way here just now, the servant who reported the news had already shouted, "The young master is gone."
The old lady of the Lin family is already this age. There should be no one of her generation or even her elder who would be called "young master"!
The old lady sitting in the seat calmed down and said, "Sir, you are right. The person who just passed away is my great-grandson."
Liang Yuanque nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, "Then do you dare to ask whether the old lady is in charge of the Lin family now?"
The old lady sighed, "To tell you the truth, our Lin family has no men who can take care of things now, so I, the old woman, can only speak out for the time being."
Seeing that she was an old woman who had lost her loved ones countless times, Liang Yuanque reluctantly endured and listened to her complicated introduction. Before she opened her mouth next time, he stretched out his hand to stop her.
"Old madam, let's not talk so much. Can you take me to check on the young master's body first?"
The Lin family was probably too experienced in hosting Feng Shui masters, so the old lady did not hesitate at all. She shouted to the servants outside the door and directed them to take people to see the corpse in a familiar manner.
The servant led them quickly to the wing on one side. The young master passed away suddenly and was still lying in the bedroom.
As soon as the servant opened the bedroom door, Liang Yuanque smelled a very strange smell, and he stepped in with big steps.
Zhuang Youjie behind him was not as bold as him. From a distance, he saw a corpse covered with a sheet parked on the floor in the center of the bedroom, and felt a little hesitant.
Although he had entered other crime scenes before, there were no bodies in those scenes!
Not counting the wooden building, he didn't know there were rotting corpses hidden inside when he entered.
After all, he still has little contact with dead bodies and still has a traditional taboo against dead bodies.
Of course, not only him, but also the servant who led them here was hesitating at the door, not daring to go in.
Outside the room, someone was busy preparing for the upcoming funeral, but no one dared to enter.
The servant saw Liang Yuanque walking in and couldn't help but remind him, "Master, to tell you the truth, several people have died in this room."
Liang Yuanque did not look at the body directly, but walked around the room briefly, and casually replied to the servant,
"Yeah, I can see it."
Of course he doesn't have psychic abilities, but as a detective, he has been to too many crime scenes and seen too many corpses, and he has developed a kind of judgment ability for some unknown reason.
He could vaguely feel whether someone had died in a place.
There are many flowers in this bedroom, and some of them seem to have yellowed and curled petals because they were not replaced in time.
The special smell that the Liangyuan bird smells is emitted by these flowers. Because there are too many flowers and too many varieties, the smells of each other are strung together, which is really uncomfortable.
"Does your young master like flowers very much?" Liang Yuanque looked at the servant at the door.
"I don't know the details about this," the servant scratched his head, "I've only vaguely heard that the young master grows flowers to ward off disasters."
