Xu family villa, first floor.

In a slightly empty study room.

On the main seat in the middle, Cheng An did his job and sat firmly on it.

A little further back, Qu Yiyang was holding a pen and paper, making a temporary guest appearance as Cheng An's assistant.

On the opposite side, by the window, Chi Yu leaned against the wall with his arms folded across his chest, always ready to catch the suspect who might try to escape through the door.

As for Xia Yanzhou... originally there was no need for a fourth person in this place, but she forced him to stay on the grounds that "Dr. He must not be proficient in taking notes for the first time, so he needs help."

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

Cheng An raised his voice and said, "Come in."

The door opened, and Butler Xu, who had a stiff expression, stepped into the room escorted by two players, Qin Zhen and Fang Yu, and sat on the chair opposite Cheng An.

Cheng An ignored his angry expression: "Please introduce yourself, as detailed as possible."

Housekeeper Xu took a deep breath: "My surname is Xu, and my name is Xu Xinghan. I was hired as the housekeeper of the Xu family ten years ago, and I still do it today. My usual job is to deal with the trivial matters of the Xu family villa, that is, the villa, except occasionally Except for annual leave, I always stay in the villa and rarely go out. ”

Qu Yiyang, who was in charge of recording, didn't even raise his head: "Ten years ago, Xu Song was only a teenager, right?"

"Fifteen."

"It doesn't matter how big it is." Qu Yiyang said nonchalantly.

When Butler Xu heard this, his anger, which had been forcibly suppressed, suddenly began to burst out.

——It’s an unimportant question, why are you asking me? !

Qu Yiyang paused and realized that what he just said seemed to be somewhat ambiguous: "I mean, he was not yet an adult at that time. Was he the one who hired you?"

"No." Butler Xu's voice was a little dull, "At that time, the person in charge of the Xu family was Mr. Xu Song's uncle, and he hired me."

Uncle Xu!

This is a key figure.

At this moment, not only Qu Yiyang was refreshed, but Chi Yu, who was standing by the window, also turned his head slightly and became attentive.

Cheng An flipped through the information on the tablet: "Xu Jian, Xu Song's uncle, has passed away?"

Butler Xu nodded: "Died in an accidental car accident, but that was already eight years ago."

Eight years ago…

When Tang Wenjing committed suicide, her brother Tang Wenxuan was only fourteen years old. As Cheng An mentioned before, Tang Wenxuan had just turned twenty-two this year...

Chi Yu quickly made a subtraction in his mind: "Did he die in the same year as Tang Wenjing?"

"Yes, and the time was not too far apart. Xu Jian was in a car accident at the end of July. A dozen days later, Tang Wenjing committed suicide by jumping into the lake."

Such a coincidence?

The three players frowned.

Qu Yiyang asked: "The car accident, what exactly happened?"

Under the gaze of everyone, Butler Xu thought for a while: "I don't remember very clearly. At that time, Mr. Xu Song had been learning company management knowledge from Mr. Xu Jian, and occasionally we would go on business trips together. 8 In July of last year, they had just finished an out-of-town project, and when they were returning from the airport... there was a car accident. "

"Mr. Xu Jian died on the spot in order to protect Mr. Xu Song. Mr. Xu Song also suffered serious injuries."

The three players turned to look at Cheng An.

Cheng An nodded and said: "Because there were so many casualties in that car accident, the police also have some records. It is said that it was a head-on collision with a truck. Not only Xu Jian, but also the driver who was driving the car died shortly after being sent to the hospital. "

"As for the cause of the car accident, according to the investigation, the driver of the truck was driving tiredly. In addition, it was a rainy day and the vision was blocked. When passing through an intersection, the Xu family's car suddenly sprang out, and the other party did not react for a moment. , which led to this tragedy.”

In other words, the Xu family is a complete victim?

Chi Yu pondered.

However, "dying to protect Xu Song"...why does this sound so weird to me?

She said: "Xu Song, do you have a good relationship with his uncle?"

Butler Xu knew that he was asking himself: "Very good. When Mr. Xu Song was very young, with the help of Mr. Xu Jian, he began to get involved in some affairs of the company. At least in the three years after I joined the company, they They are almost inseparable, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they are biological father and son.”

……real or fake?

Chi Yu raised his eyebrows lightly, and across from him, Qu Yiyang also felt a little strange.

According to the information they obtained in the "Nightmare", this uncle of the Xu family was very covetous about the property left by his younger brother, and he even went so far as to conceal the truth about two murder cases... He would be so kind-hearted that he would send the Xu family to Directly to his brother's son?

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

But to say it was false... Butler Xu didn't seem to be lying. What's more, he had no reason to lie.

As for Xu Jian being pretentious...it doesn't really make sense.

When he first adopted the Xu Song brothers, the latter two were probably only eleven or twelve years old. If he really didn't want to hand over the Xu family's property to them, he could just throw them abroad to be free-range. To be more ruthless, he could just let them "Accidental death" is fine, there is no need to spend three years performing a scene in front of the housekeeper, and it also increases the possibility of raising a tiger to become a disaster.

…I can’t figure it out.

Chi Yu shook his head and asked again: "Then do you know Tang Wenjing?"

"never heard of that."

On the other side, Qu Yiyang reminded: "It's a young woman who threw herself into a lake nearby eight years ago."

Butler Xu thought carefully for a while, and then suddenly said: "Is it her?"

"What she said... made a little impression. After all, that was the only time I had contact with the police during my years working in the Xu family." He warned, "But that incident shouldn't have anything to do with us, right?"

"It doesn't matter much, let's just ask casually." Qu Yiyang said perfunctorily.

Butler Xu didn't quite believe it, but in this situation, he couldn't ask too many questions.

At this point, the interrogation of Butler Xu is basically over.

Under the signal from Qu Yiyang's eyes, Xia Yanzhou trotted forward and opened the door, calling in Fang Yu and Qin Zhen who were guarding outside.

The two players escorted Butler Xu away expressionlessly. Soon after, Lin Shenze and He Meimei walked into the "interrogation room" with the second suspect.

The woman who was sent in looked to be in her thirties, with rough skin, long and dry hair, and was wearing cheap clothes. Her brows and eyes were filled with tension and exhaustion.

Zhou Wanjing was a little scared, and she sat down in the position representing the "suspect" with some trembling. She put her hands on her knees awkwardly, raised her eyelids, and carefully looked at Cheng An and others opposite.

Cheng An ignored her little gesture and said expressionlessly: "Please introduce yourself in more detail, thank you."

Zhou Wanjing shrank her neck, opened her mouth slightly, but stopped talking.

Qu Yiyang smiled: "Don't be nervous, take your time."

"Okay... okay."
