Chapter 653 The Banker's Death

The news headline is: The millionaire dies mysteriously!

"Last night, the carriage in which banker David Fuller was riding had an accident, broke through the fence, and fell into the river!"

"The coachman was lucky to be rescued, and David Fuller himself was unfortunately drowned!"

……

Isn't David Fuller... the old fox who fought Mrs. Jones for inheritance?

Gao Fei recalled the plot of the previous chapter, and felt that the cause of Fuller's death was more and more suspicious.

At this time, the system prompts that it is time to "trance".

Gao Fei immediately switched to the perspective of the protagonist No.1, stood up, and shouted to the outside of the office: "Lisa! Help me get all the other newspapers that were published this morning!"

"Come right on, dear."

Not long after, Miss Lisa came in with a stack of newspapers.

In total, the firm subscribes to six newspapers.

In addition to the "Sun" that Gao Fei often reads, the other five newspapers are also quite influential, and their audiences have their own emphasis.

Gao Fei quickly browsed through several other newspapers, and sure enough, he found relevant reports on David Fuller's death in a conspicuous section.

Based on reports from various media outlets, there are currently two main theories regarding the cause of Fuller's death.

The mainstream theory is that the death was accidental, and this is also the result of the police investigation currently announced.

However, the public opinion has also put forward another speculation, that Fuller's death was a murder disguised as an accident.

A columnist with a detective's perspective.

Assuming that it was possible for Fuller to die in an orchestrated murder, who would benefit from the murder?
The author lists several candidates.

Among them was Fuller's only daughter and nephew!
Fuller's daughter, the sole heir to a million-dollar fortune.

Yet it seemed unlikely and unnecessary for a young girl to murder her father.

As for Wallace, Fuller's nephew and secretary, it was hard to say.

The well-informed columnist pointed out that Wallace was actively pursuing his cousin, eager to get closer to the Fuller family and become the banker's son-in-law and business heir.

However, David Fuller was not very satisfied with his nephew.

Fuller once expressed his attitude in the social arena, thinking that marrying his daughter to his nephew could neither increase his property nor improve his social status, and it was purely a loss-making business.

He is more inclined to use the only daughter as a tool for marriage, marrying into a noble family or betrothing to a son of a business partner.

Of course, Mr. Fuller didn't say anything to death, he still left a glimmer of hope for his nephew, and made a decision after seeing his performance.

Wallace was like a donkey, hung by his uncle with a carrot, and had to work hard for his uncle, trying to flatter the father and daughter.

He also felt that the hardships he endured now were paving the way for a bright future, and that one day he would be able to win the approval of his uncle and the heart of his cousin, marry Bai Fumei, and inherit the wealth of the family.

However, the good times didn't last long. Just two weeks ago, the judicial duel between David Fuller and Mrs. Jones over inheritance disputes shattered Wallace's dreams.

This duel was all handled by him from beginning to end.

In the end, he messed up, and finally lost the lawsuit related to the ownership of the 200 million inheritance in the duel field.

It's not entirely Wallace's fault.

When the court ruled that the two parties in the lawsuit should share Mr. Jones' estate equally, Wallace once advised his uncle to accept it as soon as it was good, and it was so private with Mrs. Jones!

It's good to get 100 million.

Even if we take another step back, the two sides can score four or six points!

After all, it would be a bit deceptive to snatch the widow's inheritance just based on an vague gambling agreement.

However, his suggestion was not adopted by his uncle. On the contrary, he greatly angered his uncle and his greedy cousin. Turn outside."

Wallace was so scolded that he couldn't lift his head.

In order to reverse my image in the eyes of my uncle and my cousin, I had to change my position, actively support the judicial duel provoked by my uncle, and worked hard back and forth.

He recommended Hashim, a monk of the Ripple Sect, as his uncle's dueling agent.

The uncle agreed, but after losing the duel, he turned his back on him, not only dismissed Hashim, but also complained that his nephew was blind.

Wallace was treated as a punching bag by his uncle, and the resentment in his heart can be imagined.

Seeing that he has been crossed off from the list of candidates for his son-in-law by his uncle, and gradually drifting away from his dream of marrying Bai Fumei and inheriting millions of fortunes, as a young man with full blood, can he bear this tone?

After dissecting Wallace's state of mind, the columnist suggested that Wallace was the most likely murderer of his uncle.

"For a mage, it doesn't seem difficult to cast a spell to cause a small malfunction in the speeding carriage."

"Of course, I am not a witness at the scene of the accident, and I have no intention of identifying the murderer."

"I'm just exercising the freedom of speech granted by the law, and out of good intentions, I remind the Avalon police why they don't investigate Wallace? Maybe there will be unexpected gains!"

After Gao Fei finished reading the article, he casually put the newspaper aside and fell into deep thought.

"Honey, do you also think that Fuller's death was not accidental, and his nephew is suspected of committing the crime?" Lisa couldn't help asking.

"I do suspect that Fuller was murdered. As for whether the murderer was his nephew...I don't think it is very likely."

"However, the analysis in this article seems to make sense." Lisa picked up the newspaper.

"That's purely one-sided." Gao Fei shook his head and smiled. "I'm too familiar with this kind of writing routine. To put it bluntly, it's 'set the target first and then shoot'. First identify someone as suspicious, and then weave evidence to prove the other party. A murderer indeed."

"Lisa, this is not a rigorous reasoning, but the category of literary creation. According to this logic, as long as you write a sentence on a piece of paper, I can figure out that you are a murderer."

After taking a sip of the coffee Lisa handed over, Goofy went on to say: "If Wallace really murdered his uncle, how to cover up his crime afterwards is secondary, and what is more important is how he can persuade his cousin to marry him. for myself?"

"Judging from the attitude of Fuller's daughter to Wallace, she may still have hope of marrying her cousin before her father's death, but after her father's sudden death, this hope is almost zero."

"There is no point in murdering Fuller if Wallace cannot marry Fuller's only daughter as he wishes."

"Being dazzled by anger, it is possible to kill on impulse, but I think Wallace, as a mage, is unlikely to kill on impulse regardless of the consequences."

After listening to his explanation, Lisa nodded thoughtfully.

"I have met Fuller's daughter Emily in the social arena, how should I put it... She is the typical daughter of an 'upstart' family. turn by yourself."
