Chapter 271 The murderer’s farewell 15

"Then why didn't you tell me before?"

"I forgot." Li Yuerong pretended to be sad, "Hu Peng's life and death were so sudden. I was immersed in great sadness and forgot about it. This is also a common human reaction, right?"

"So you killed Hu Pengsheng."

Li Yuerong shook her head, "No, Sir Xu, I can't possibly kill Hu Pengsheng, why should I kill him?"

"For his legacy."

"His legacy was meant to be mine and my son's."

Then Li Yuerong calmly stated the reason why she returned to K City.

It was Hu Pengsheng who called her to come back. Hu Pengsheng told Li Yuerong that he was terminally ill and would die soon. He asked Li Yuerong to return to K City to sign a document.

The document is the distribution of inheritance. Hu Pengsheng’s inheritance totals 1000 million, 50.00% is left to Li Yuerong, and 50.00% is left to Hu Dongdong.

Li Yuerong said:

Sir Xu, Hu Pengsheng's estate was established more than a month ago. He found a lawyer, and the lawyer was able to testify that the estate was like this a month ago and has not been changed at all.

When the incident occurred, I returned to K City to sign this inheritance document.

The documents were also signed. After signing, Hu Pengsheng immediately sent them to the lawyer, and then I returned to the United States.

You ask me why I use a fake passport?

I'm really sorry, because when I was about to come back, there was something wrong with my real passport.

I was very afraid that Hu Pengsheng would die at any time, so I had no choice but to buy a fake passport on the black market and rush to K City as quickly as possible.

You ask me why I wear a mask and why I have to sneak around in Qinjiang Village?

This is also what Hu Pengsheng explained.

He said that it was better to keep the money matters a secret, as he did not want the villagers to know that he was ill or have other evil thoughts towards him.

He is such a suspicious person. He was going to die, so of course I would comply with his wishes.

Li Yuerong looked at Xu Wenshan calmly:

Sir Xu, Hu Pengsheng is dead now, it doesn't matter if I tell you these things. You can go and verify it, and the result will be exactly what I said.

Li Yuerong's eyes were moist:

Hu Pengsheng, my husband, was so good to me. He left all his money to me and my son.

He is also about to die. Tell me, what reason do I have to kill him? Please don't accuse me wrongly.

.

After listening, Xu Wenshan was stunned. Is it really what she said?

Hu Pengsheng left all his money to the mother and son, and Li Yuerong already knew that Hu Pengsheng was terminally ill.

If this is the case, she has no reason to kill Hu Pengsheng. She only needs to wait quietly. In a few days, Hu Pengsheng will die of terminal illness.

Li Yuerong's rhetoric brought the case back to its starting point from a pile of seemingly "ironclad evidence."

.

At this time, Hu Dongdong came over holding an urn.

Li Yuerong said to Xu Wenshan, "Sir Xu, if there is evidence, arrest me. If not, I will continue to deal with my husband's funeral."

Based on the current situation——

Xu Wenshan said with some guilt, "Sorry, what I said just now was impulsive. This is also a method of investigating the case. I also did this to find out the real culprit and take responsibility for Hu Pengsheng's death."

He said, I will continue to pursue the murderer and won’t interrupt him.

After saying that, Xu Wenshan left the pavilion.

When he walked under the tree, he looked back and saw Li Yuerong holding the ashes while Hu Dongdong was comforting him.

It can be seen that the mother and son have deep feelings for Hu Pengsheng.

.

Later, Xu Wenshan also asked someone to find the lawyer in charge of Hu Pengsheng's estate. The lawyer said that this was indeed the case.

Hu Pengsheng established a legacy a month ago and divided all the money in his name into two, leaving it to Li Yuerong and Hu Dongdong.

This will has never changed.

Xu Wenshan thought:

In this way, Hu Pengsheng really loves Li Yuerong.

Could it be that the murderer is Ye Ling?

Ye Ling and Hu Pengsheng were secret lovers. Seeing that Hu Pengsheng was about to die, he wanted to seize the inheritance?

But that’s not right, hasn’t the legacy been established long ago?

It's messy, it's really messy. It seemed that the only option was to find her.

.

Full of questions, Xu Wenshan drove to the crime team.

The vacation is over, and Yao Ruolan, Thirteenth Sister, and Fatty returned to the old case archives.

In the office, Xu Wenshan talked about the case.

He asked Yao Ruolan, "How is it? Has the Dream Stealing helmet been upgraded?"

Xu Wenshan thought that if the helmet was upgraded, he would ask Thirteenth Sister to go to the City of Missing and find Hu Pengsheng and ask about the cause of death.

Yao Ruolan said, "The helmet is still in the United States. Will it be back soon?"

"Hey." Xu Wenshan pressed his temples and said:

I have been reasoning about this case, and every time I feel close to the truth, I am suddenly slapped in the face.

I thought Ye Liqing was Hu Pengsheng's daughter, but it turned out not to be the case.

I thought Hu Dongdong was not Hu Pengsheng's son, but the conclusion proved that they were biological father and son.

I thought Li Yuerong hated Hu Pengsheng so much that she went back to China to kill Hu Pengsheng.

But it turned out that she came back to sign the inheritance documents, and Hu Pengsheng loved her very much.

Xu Wenshan took out a lollipop from his pocket and put it in his mouth, "After checking for so long, this is the first time I guessed everything wrong. It seems that the murderer is one of the 200 villagers in Qinjiang Village." One, it’s hidden too deeply.”

.

Yao Ruolan listened to Xu Wenshan describing the case and looked at the file information in his hand:

Hu Pengsheng is an authentic native of Qinjiang Village.

Divorced 12 years ago.

A miser has no friends in the village, and the only one he can talk to is the village goddess Ye Ling.

He takes good care of his body and often goes for physical examinations, twice a year, with physical examination reports.

Unfortunately, no matter how many physical examinations he took, he still could not escape his fate and became terminally ill.

Before he died of illness, he was burned to death at the sentry post on the top of the mountain, burned to death by the fire set down by the murderer.

Why did the murderer burn Hu Pengsheng to death? What is the purpose?

Yao Ruolan suddenly raised her head and asked Xu Wenshan, "Sir Xu, did you just say that Hu Pengsheng's body was sent for cremation?"

"Yes." Xu Wenshan said.

"Don't you think it's strange?"

"strangeness?"

Yao Ruolan explained: Hu Pengsheng was from Qinjiang Village. According to the customs and traditions of the village, the most normal way to deal with his body is to send it to heaven for sacrifice.

And Hu Pengsheng knew that he was not going to die soon, so he asked Li Yuerong to come back to sign the inheritance documents. He would definitely explain to Li Yuerong how to deal with the funeral affairs - heavenly sacrifice.

So why did Li Yuerong choose cremation, a method that goes against the tradition of Qinjiang Village?

"What do you want to say?" Xu Wenshan vaguely felt that an incredible truth was about to be revealed.

"Sir Xu, I think all your reasoning is correct. However," she paused, "you may have mistaken someone."
