My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

The long list of asset names made everyone drowsy.

Listening to the long list of assets, Zhang Hao couldn't help but sigh: "They're really rich. It took them half an hour just to read out the real estate."

After the lawyer finished reading the will, he bowed to Chen Anshi and his mother and said respectfully, "This is Mr. Chen's arrangement of his estate. Do you have any further questions?"

"I didn't..." Chen Anshi was about to say it was no problem when a voice suddenly interrupted him.

Chen Anshui exclaimed, "That's absolutely impossible! The old man was perfectly fine before, and he even saw me. He told me he would leave all his property to me. He always keeps his word; he would never change his mind at the last minute!"

Chen Anshi wanted to refute, but Chen Anshui didn't give him a chance and continued to say loudly, "Unless someone couldn't restrain themselves and was desperate, they would do something like murder to silence witnesses or forge a will!"

Lu Yuxuan's heart was pounding, and her heart was beating even faster because she felt guilty.

But on the surface, she still maintained that impeccable image of a wealthy lady.

Lu Yuxuan laughed and said, "You say it's fake, so it's fake? These have all been legally notarized! I can understand if you want to seize your father's inheritance, but you can't just slander people like that! Besides, you said your father decided to leave all his inheritance to you, do you have any evidence? Do you have a recording? Can you prove that he really said that to you?"

"Also, after you fell into the water and went missing, everyone thought you were dead. You said you met your father in private, but who knows if that's true or not? Maybe you never even revealed your true identity, and your father didn't even know you were alive. How could he leave his enormous inheritance to a son who might already be dead? He's not crazy!"

Lu Yuxuan pressed on relentlessly, eventually even holding up the will itself. The will, bearing the testator's own signature and official seal, served as irrefutable evidence.

“I have evidence. According to normal legal procedures, everything your father left behind is mine! As for you, you were unruly at home before. Your father scolded you many times and complained to me that he wished he didn’t have a son like you.”

"A person like you, instead of thinking about arranging your father's funeral after his death, is here arguing with me about the will! You really are an unfilial son!"

Lu Yuxuan's sarcastic remarks were all very hurtful. Everyone felt that Luoshui was really too heartless. The person hadn't even been laid to rest yet, and they were already fighting fiercely over the inheritance.

That's such an unsightly way of eating.

"You know perfectly well who is behaving badly."

Chen Anshui gave a mocking smile and said to his half-brother, "I know you don't believe me, but I'm telling you, your mother is very likely the murderer of our father. If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"

After saying that, Chen Anshui turned and left, saying that he was going to find evidence to continue the investigation, completely ignoring how angry Chen Anshi was!
Chen Anshi, his face flushed with anger, watched Chen Anshui's departing figure and shouted, "Even if you are my elder brother, you can't slander my mother like this! My mother and father have a deep and loving relationship; they are an incredibly affectionate couple! Even if you want to fight for the family fortune, you can't use such despicable means!"

Chen Anshui didn't hear Chen Anshi's curses at all, or rather, even if he did, he pretended not to hear them and left without looking back.

"Alright, alright, that's not the point right now. We're here today to investigate the real cause of Mr. Chen Zixuan's death." Team leader Lao Zhang quickly stepped forward, breaking the awkward and tense atmosphere. He was just an investigator and didn't want to get involved in this complicated family feud.

Next comes the routine investigation of clues and scientific identification.

After working for most of the day, in the hospital's rest room, Old Zhang said to Zhang Hao with a confident look: "After scientific autopsy and analysis, it can be confirmed that Mr. Chen Zixuan did indeed die from sudden cardiac death. This is based on scientific evidence."

Zhang Hao was drinking a cup of hot water when he heard this. He couldn't help but give Old Zhang a half-smile: "So you think there's nothing left to investigate in this case?"

Old Zhang felt a chill run down his spine from that smile, as if he were about to fall into some kind of trap.

He quickly shook his head and changed to an ambiguous statement: "That's not necessarily true. There are more and more cases of forgery these days, and people's methods of silencing witnesses are becoming more and more sophisticated. There might be other hidden stories."

Zhang Hao smiled and pointed to the empty seat next to him, inviting Lao Zhang to come over and sit down for a chat.

Old Zhang sat down next to him, poured himself a cup of hot water, and asked Zhang Hao with a sidelong glance, "What do you think? Do you think this case is not simple?"

"Of course it's not simple. If I were to loudly proclaim at the scene that Mr. Chen Zixuan's death might have been a setup, but I couldn't produce any evidence, I would definitely be ridiculed by many people. So, I can only tell you this in private."

Upon hearing this, Old Zhang felt a chill run down his spine.

Will this cause any trouble? He has absolutely no desire to get involved in those mysterious and supernatural matters. You know, these things can easily lead to death, and he doesn't have that kind of special ability. If he encounters danger, things will be terrible.

"Look at you, so cowardly. Are you afraid I'll continue?" Zhang Hao was surprised to see Old Zhang, a grown man, so frightened. He was supposed to be the head of the Major Crimes Unit, so how could he be so timid?
“It’s not that I’m cowardly or afraid. This matter wasn’t originally my responsibility. Although I now know the ins and outs of the matter, I still need to collect evidence. Nowadays, we’re all about science. We need to have complete witness testimonies and physical evidence. If the chain of evidence is incomplete, we can’t bring the murderer to justice. So, I can only focus my efforts on this aspect of the investigation.”

At this point, Old Zhang suddenly paused, turned his head, and looked at Zhang Hao expectantly: "If possible, I hope you can help me. After all, if the prisoner can confess voluntarily, everything will be much simpler."

"Good grief, I originally wanted you to bring the murderer to justice yourself, cut the Gordian knot, and close this case quickly, but you've pushed the case back to me?"

Zhang Hao couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder he's been through the officialdom; he really knows how to do things!"
Old Zhang smiled sheepishly: "I really had no other choice. Look at all this evidence, it all points to Lu Yuxuan being innocent. If we keep investigating like this, the murderer will probably get away with it."

"It's not that I can't help you..."

Before Zhang Hao could finish speaking, Old Zhang interrupted him, saying with a disapproving look, "Mr. Han, you can't say that. We're in the same boat now. If you help me, your problem will be solved smoothly too. So this is about mutual help. Don't make it sound like I owe you a huge favor."

"According to you, am I supposed to help you for free?" Zhang Hao asked, raising an eyebrow slightly.

Old Zhang laughed heartily, shook his head, and said, "This isn't about owing favors; we're all friends here!"

This old fox!
Zhang Hao muttered a few words to himself, then looked up at the sky outside. The sky was gloomy, as if it too was mourning the lives lost.

"Oh, the yin energy is quite strong today, perfect for summoning spirits."

Zhang Hao smiled slightly: "Come over tonight, and I'll summon Mr. Chen Zixuan's soul back. You can ask him any questions you have, or I can have Mr. Chen Zixuan take you to find the murderer."

Old Zhang beamed with joy. Although he was still a little scared, he nodded in agreement.

On the other side, Luo Shui, who had left the hospital in anger, returned to the First Mansion in a fit of rage.

At this time, this once magnificent local mansion, under the butler's direction, has been decorated with all sorts of things for a funeral.

The manor was filled with alum, white cloth, white flowers, and pots of chrysanthemums, a scene of pure white. Looking around, the vast manor seemed shrouded in a sorrowful gloom, permeated with the grief of the dead.

Chen Anshui's sudden appearance startled the old servants and maids working in the manor.

Chen Anshui's expression was indifferent as he coldly said, "I'm not dead, I'm back." After saying that, he turned and walked towards the villa, heading directly towards the room where Chen Zixuan had lived before his death.

The door to the room was tightly closed. The two maids behind him looked troubled and explained dryly, "Young Master, the key to this room has been taken by Madam. No one can enter without Madam's permission."

Chen Anshui took a deep breath, his eyes filled with barely suppressed rage. That damned woman again! She was so meticulously prepared!
Another maid quickly added, "Madam said that Master has passed away, and the things in the room should be tidied up. However, Madam is busy preparing for Master's funeral and really doesn't have time to tidy up."

These people were rambling on and on without getting to the point, and Chen Anshui quickly lost his patience, raising his hand to interrupt them: "Where is that woman now?"

Just then, a crisp, loud sound of high heels came from the stairwell.

The sound of footsteps, "tap tap tap," grew louder as they approached.

Chen Anshui turned his head in the direction of the sound and saw the woman—Lu Yuxuan.

Lu Yuxuan's attire was extremely simple, consisting entirely of black and white, making her look exactly like a widow.

"Your father's mourning hall is almost ready. Aren't you going down to offer incense to your father?"

Lu Yuxuan spoke casually, as if she were just asking if they wanted to have a meal together, without any of the solemnity and sorrow that should be shown when paying respects to the deceased.

Chen Anshui knew in his heart that this woman didn't truly love his father, and he had no time to argue with her about it. All he could think about now was finding out the truth about his father's death as soon as possible, so that his father could rest in peace and not die in vain.

"I never imagined you could be so shameless. You killed my father and still have the nerve to preside over his funeral!"

He thought to himself, if his father knew about this in the afterlife, he would probably be so angry at this woman that he would jump out of his coffin.

“I am your father’s lawfully wedded wife. Isn’t it only right and proper for me to hold a funeral for him? I know you don’t like me, but at a time like this, it’s best not to make a scene. After all, you don’t want your father to leave this world in peace, right?”

Chen Anshui stared at the woman in front of him through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with hatred.

How hateful! She actually used her father's funeral to threaten him!

“If you dare to cause trouble here and ruin the funeral, your father might scold you for being an unfilial son.”

Do you really think that everything you've done can remain hidden forever, undiscovered?

Chen Anshui questioned through gritted teeth.

Lu Yuxuan began to play dumb, blinking her beautiful eyes and a faint smile playing on her lips: "What do you mean by that, young master? I haven't done anything wrong, so why should I be afraid of the truth? Young master, please stop making veiled accusations. If other people who come to pay their respects see this, they'll only laugh at the discord within the Chen family, and your father will become a laughing stock in this circle."

This is clearly using his father's reputation to blackmail him!

Chen Anshui's chest heaved violently with anger. If murder were not illegal, he would have loved to tear this vicious woman to pieces!

No, even being torn to pieces wouldn't quell the hatred in his heart. He's currently learning Yin-Yang magic and corpse-driving techniques from Zhang Hao, and in the future…

Before that thought could even form, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder from behind.

Chen Anshui turned around abruptly and saw his master, who was also his superior, Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao walked over with a smile and put his hand on Chen Anshui's shoulder. Chen Anshui felt a cool breeze instantly penetrate his shoulder, and the anger in his heart was immediately soothed.

Having regained his composure, Chen Anshui took a deep breath, secretly glad that he hadn't acted impulsively. Otherwise, he might have become a laughing stock in this circle.

He gave Zhang Hao a grateful look.

Zhang Hao didn't care at all; his gaze was fixed on Lu Yuxuan.

After returning from the hospital, Lu Yuxuan had carefully reviewed her plans and actions, confirming that there were no loopholes, so she was completely fearless at this moment.

She got the money, and the evidence of the crime was completely destroyed. Even if someone guessed that she was behind it all, so what? Those people still couldn't do anything to her!

Money makes the world go round, that's her confidence!
Lu Yuxuan smiled slightly at Zhang Hao and said, "Mr. Han, I happen to have something I'd like to ask you for help with. I wonder if you have the time?"

Zhang Hao smiled, as if the woman in front of him was not a heinous person, but a friend of many years.

“If you have any requests, please just say so. If it is within my power, I will certainly not refuse.”

Lu Yuxuan's smile deepened, tinged with a hint of smugness. She glanced at Chen Anshui, who was barely containing his anger, and said, "Mr. Han is truly a wise man, unlike some people who start making a scene as soon as they return, causing me a lot of trouble and creating a lot of chaos. Mr. Han, let's go over there and talk."

As she spoke, Lu Yuxuan gestured an invitation towards a small bar on the balcony outside.

Just as Chen Anshui was about to say something, Zhang Hao stopped him first.

Trusting his superior, Chen Anshui barely managed to suppress the surging anger within him.

"Don't follow me. This is between Mr. Han and me."

Seeing that Chen Anshui seemed about to follow, Lu Yuxuan smiled and stopped him. (End of Chapter)
