Chapter 211 The Worst
Butler Zhang was grinning along with everyone else, but before he could be happy for too long, Detective He had his gun pointed at him.
Detective He still had a smile on his face, but he was very clear about what he was going to say.
"Butler Zhang, why don't you explain what this is first?"
After hearing what Detective He said, everyone's focus instantly shifted to Butler Zhang.
Butler Zhang's smile froze on his face and he took the photo from Detective He.
Others craned their necks to see what it was, but the photo was too small to see clearly.
Detective He explained very considerately: "Our housekeeper Zhang is not a simple person. I found a letter written to him by housekeeper Zhang's father, old housekeeper Zhang, in the belly of a doll beside his bed.
The content of the letter was shocking, and totally inconsistent with the image of Zhang as a loyal butler.
The doctor was very interested and went to Butler Zhang to take a look. After reading every word, he said only one sentence: "I didn't expect your family to be such a family. Tsk tsk tsk tsk."
Seeing the doctor like this, the others became even more curious and scratched their heads, trying to get closer to see what was written on the letter.
The great doctor read the contents of the letter to everyone with great enthusiasm.
"My son, I am grateful for your letter. How is your life in the castle? Your mother and I are doing well, but I miss you very much."
………………
At the beginning of the letter, the content was very normal, just a father's caring thoughts to his son.
But when you turn to the second page, the content starts to go in a strange direction.
"My son, something happened recently. I shouldn't have told you and disturbed you, but I always felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it, I felt that I should still tell you.
In the past, your grandfather and I once suggested to the former Duke that he sell off some manors and farms at low prices, using the excuse of poor management.
Your grandfather and I went through several rounds of negotiations and asked someone to buy it. After the former duke passed away, it was transferred to our family through various means.
But recently, managers of these estates or farms have reported that someone is wandering around and observing nearby, which is very suspicious.
Some people have also checked all the current owners of these estates.
The more your grandfather and I thought about it, the more frightened we became. After all, apart from your grandfather and I, no one else should know about this matter. The people who were involved at the time are either very old or have passed away.
Your grandfather and I were also very cautious when we were doing things, and we never showed up. When something like this happened suddenly, your grandfather and I were worried that the Duke might have found out something and come to investigate.
If this is true, then not only will our family not only lose the wealth we have accumulated over the years, but even our lives will be in jeopardy.
After all, he is the Duke and we are just commoners. If he wants to touch us, it is as easy as crushing an ant.
I hope my son will be more cautious in his actions. I will burn this letter after reading it. "
The great doctor asked everyone mysteriously: "Do you know what the point of this letter is?"
Everyone looked at the doctor in bewilderment. Even Ning Meigui's angry attack was interrupted. They just felt like they were holding their breath, unable to go up or down, and it was so uncomfortable.
The doctor looked at the eager eyes in front of him with pride, and said very proudly: "It is a good habit to burn after reading, but it is a pity that Butler Zhang does not have it. Not only does he not have it, he also does not listen to his father.
His father told him to burn it after reading it, but he refused and insisted on keeping it to leave evidence for us. Our housekeeper Zhang is really a kind man. "
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
What a great “burn after reading” idea! It’s so heartbreaking.
Butler Zhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect the doctor to grasp the key points so sharply and from such an unusual angle.
Ning Meigui was at a loss. She had originally planned to question Butler Zhang about how much of her property the Zhang family had secretly transferred away, but she was interrupted by the doctor and didn't know what to say.
Butler Zhang: "This is actually the first time I know about this. Maybe they also think that Duke T can live for a long time, so they didn't tell me. First, they were afraid that I was too young to hide the truth on my face, and second, they were afraid that I would have the same evil thoughts as them.
In my memory, those manors and farms were places I often went to play since I was a child, and I always thought that they belonged to our family.
But now that I think about it, the ownership of these places should still be in the name of the previous duke, and my father and his people were just managers, but they had already started to have evil intentions at that time. "
Detective He: "When you received this letter, was it before or after Duke T asked you to take nutritional supplements together?"
Butler Zhang: "It was later, but I had already stopped taking these supplements by then."
Detective He: "But would you associate these two things together, plus the doctor's symptoms, and suspect that Duke T was deliberately trying to harm you, forming your murderous intent?"
Butler Zhang was choked and frowned as he thought for a while before sorting out his thoughts: "But I didn't know that the doctor had this disease?
I just heard about this today. I haven’t been taking those supplements for very long, and the only negative reaction is a nosebleed. And a nosebleed seems to be a sign of overdosing, so I didn’t think too much about it.”
Detective He narrowed his eyes, staring at Butler Zhang's face, and asked again: "You don't know the doctor's illness? Are you sure? Are you sure you remember it correctly?"
Butler Zhang fell into deep thought with some uncertainty. He thought about it carefully before answering decisively, "I really don't know."
Detective He withdrew his gaze with some regret. He originally wanted to blast him, but he didn't expect Butler Zhang to be so tight-lipped. It was really disappointing.
“The first round of evidence has been shared, and everyone’s motives for the murder have almost come out.
Mrs. Owl: Duke T is already planning for a divorce, and the property he will get will be very small, especially since she has a child to raise.
Ning Meigui: The heir after Duke T’s death and the biggest beneficiary.
Poet Sa: He is in debt and is afraid of being discovered. What is even more afraid is that Duke T will soon find out that he has stolen things from the castle and sold them.
Butler Zhang: The fact that the elders in my family once transferred the Duke's family property may be discovered, and I was also forced by Duke T to take nutritional supplements.
Doctor: Because I took nutritional supplements with Duke T, I have developed a disease that requires me to take special medicine for life, and the cost is extremely high. And because of this disease, I broke up with my girlfriend. And if the Duke finds out about my disease, I won’t be able to keep my job. I can’t keep my body, my love, or my career. "
The doctor's face was filled with sorrow as he listened to this. He muttered, "Why do I feel like I'm the worst off after listening to this? It seems like it's not worth it if I don't do something for the Duke?"
