Chapter 83 Irreparable Regret

In the silent hall on the first floor of the villa, only two hurried footsteps echoed.At this time, Luo Fei was holding the floor plan and leading Xiaoman towards the basement.

"At the beginning, we focused our investigation on Charlie Wang's body, so we mistakenly thought that people like Wang Dashan, Lin Zaizhong, and Chen Shuang killed him for money, but in fact the real culprit was Charlie Wang himself." Luo Explained very confidently.

Xiaoman hesitated for a moment, then summed up Luo Fei's words: "You mean, it's not the younger brother who kills the older brother, but the older brother kills the younger brother."

Luo Fei nodded: "That's right, just now Benjamin said, Wang Dashan, oh no, the second corpse is Wang Charlie, so I called the hospital just now and confirmed that Wang Charlie went to the hospital a while ago, The doctor has given him an ultimatum."

"Oh yes!" Xiaoman also followed Luo Fei's train of thought at this time, and nodded again and again: "The steward He also mentioned that Charlie Wang went to the hospital recently, but he didn't bring any medicine back. I think there should be no medicine left." It's a curable stage."

Luo Fei: "Wang Charlie knew that he was going to die soon, so he set up a trap to kill him by changing his body. The purpose is to leave the inheritance to Lin Zaizhong's mother and son in a logical way."

"Why didn't Wang Charlie transfer the family property to Lin Zaizhong through legal documents, but died with his younger brother in such a bizarre way?" Xiaoman asked suddenly.

Luo Fei sneered and said, "You also saw the scene of the banquet last night, Wang Dashan acted like a rascal, after Wang Charlie's death, the young Lin Zaizhong is no match for him, and the foundation will be swallowed up sooner or later. "

Xiaoman nodded in agreement: "It's conceivable."

"Furthermore, no one in this world can prove that Lin Zaizhong is Wang Charlie's biological son except Lin Yuan herself." After finishing speaking, Luo Fei put down the floor plan and pointed to the entrance of the ice cellar not far away.

"Then how did Wang Charlie learn of Lin Zaizhong's true identity?" Xiaoman asked.

"We have to ask Lin Zaizhong and Lin Yuan, mother and son." After speaking, Luo Fei pushed open the iron door of the ice cellar, and walked in with Xiaoman.

In the cold and windy underground ice cellar, Charlie Wang's body was lying on a stretcher.On the edge of the stretcher bed, the two figures were close together, and weeping could be heard from time to time.

Luo Fei and Xiaoman approached immediately.

"This is Ms. Lin Yuan." Luo Fei said to one of the backs.

The two turned their heads in panic.Xiaoman immediately saw Lin Zaizhong hugging an elderly woman tightly, and was a little panicked.

Lin Yuan looked at Luo Fei and Xiao Man suspiciously, and asked hoarsely, "You... who are you?"

Luo Fei bowed to Lin Yuan: "I'm Luo Fei, the detective consultant of the police station."

"I'm Qin Xiaoman, a police detective from the patrol room." Xiaoman then said.

After Lin Yuan listened to the introduction of the two, she leaned close to Lin Zaizhong, and Lin Zaizhong also hugged her mother tightly.

"Chong'er..."

Luo Fei waved his hand: "Don't be nervous, I have already figured out the ins and outs of Wang Charlie's death. Moreover, what you are facing now is not Wang Charlie, but Wang Dashan."

Lin Yuan and Lin Zaizhong couldn't help being shocked when they heard Luo Fei's words.

"Of course, Charlie Wang is indeed dead. His body should still be in the temporary laboratory, and our forensic doctor will send it to the ice cellar after processing it." Luo Fei said calmly.

Lin Zaizhong asked with a trembling voice, "What's going on?"

At this time, Xiaoman suddenly said to Lin Zaizhong in a reproachful tone: "Lin Zaizhong, what happened just now when you disobeyed the order and sneaked down the mountain!"

"I'm to blame for this." Luo Fei said as he took out the photo from his pocket and handed it to Lin Yuan, "You were shocked when you saw me holding your mother's photo just now. Well, like a father who taught you how to be a human being, and left you the art foundation, so you can't wait to go down the mountain and ask your mother the reason for all this."

Lin Zaizhong nodded emphatically: "That's true." At this time, Lin Yuan, who was looking at her photo, was in a trance, and suddenly cried loudly again. Lin Zaizhong hurried over to comfort his mother repeatedly.

Luo Fei looked at Lin Yuan, who was in tears, and said softly, "Charlie Wang has always cherished this photo. I think he has always regretted driving you away, and the reason why he chose to kill was out of respect for you. The guilt of mother and son, wanting to do everything possible to leave you all his wealth before he dies."

After a long time, Lin Yuan stopped crying, raised her crying eyes and looked at Luo Fei: "Charlie killed someone?"

"We have deduced what happened last night through the evidence and clues." Luo Fei walked to Wang Dashan's body and sighed with a complicated expression, "That night, Wang Dashan was sent to Wang Charlie from the banquet. In the room, Charlie Wang stunned Wang Dashan with drugs first, and then gave him an air injection. Later, Charlie Wang deliberately staged the sound of the two arguing in the room, and then turned back the wall clock at the door. The correct voice, and immediately after, Wang Charlie dressed himself as Wang Dashan, came out of the room, and got away from the scene of the crime with Lawyer Liu."

When Luo Fei said this, he looked back at Lin Zaizhong: "Charlie Wang used this method to mislead Steward He and Lawyer Liu. Of course, he also misled us at the beginning, making us think that Wang Dashan was the suspect who killed Charlie Wang. .”

Lin Zaizhong shook his head vigorously: "I don't believe that Mr. Wang would kill someone! He is so kind and treats me, Steward He and all the servants like family members. How could he kill his own brother?"

Luo Fei sighed helplessly: "Driven by strong love, it is easy for a person to make a decision beyond reason. Just now, when the forensic doctor was dissecting the corpse, he found a tumor in Wang Charlie's body. I called the hospital afterwards. It confirms that doctors have determined that Charlie Wang has only one month to live."

When Lin Yuan heard this, she began to wipe her tears again: "Charlie...why are you so stupid..."

"He's not stupid, but guilty." Luo Fei said, looking at Xiaoman, motioning for Xiaoman to continue.

Xiaoman nodded knowingly, and squatted beside Lin Yuan: "At the banquet last night, Charlie Wang announced that Lin Zaizhong was in charge of the art foundation. At that time, many people questioned it. With such a big circle, one is to clear obstacles for loved ones, and the other is to maintain a good image."

"He is a person who values ​​his reputation, and he must die as a victim rather than a murderer." Luo Fei said with firm eyes.

"Charlie committed suicide?" Lin Yuan asked back.

Luo Fei nodded: "Yes, he has thought about how to end this murder plan from the beginning, so he adopted a quick way."

Xiaoman said to Lin Zaizhong in a slow voice: "Charlie Wang returned to Wang Dashan's room, injected himself with poison, then quietly smoked the last cigar, came to the rooftop alone, leaned against the cliff, leaned on the railing, Looking at the cable car you left, I cut my right hand and threw down the suicide note I prepared in advance.”

Hearing this, Lin Zaizhong trembled all over, and turned to cry and said: "No wonder Mr. Wang canceled the party with me. He was afraid that I would disrupt his plan."

Luo Fei cast a consoling look at Lin Zaizhong: "He also wants to protect you and prevent you from getting involved. He didn't expect that Steward He asked you to knock on the door to wake him up, making you one of the suspects." , In order to let you clear the suspicion as soon as possible, he went up to the rooftop on the top floor before he got back the key from Chen Shuang."

Lin Zaizhong looked at Luo Fei suspiciously: "What key?"

Xiaoman took out a Rococo-style key from his pocket at this moment, and Lin Yuan was shocked when she saw the key.

Luo Fei smiled: "Sure enough, as I speculated, the reason why Charlie Wang hangs this key is not that it is the key of a safe for famous paintings, but..."

Luo Fei paused for a moment, and glanced at Lin Yuan, who took the key from Xiaoman's hand and stroked it carefully.

"This key is the token of love that Charlie proposed to me back then."

Luo Fei said with a serious expression: "I am afraid that the reason why your engagement with Wang Charlie was annulled is not because you committed adultery with Wang Dashan."

Lin Yuan sobbed again, and Lin Zaizhong slowly helped her to sit down beside her.

Lin Yuan suppressed her grief and said: "That night, Wang Dashan broke into my room drunk and raped me forcibly. I resisted desperately and stabbed him with a hairpin. Wang Dashan became so angry that he slapped me unconscious. Later The villain Wang Dashan filed a complaint first, and Charlie misunderstood me, so he kicked me out of the house..."

Lin Zaizhong heard this and hugged Lin Yuan tightly.

At this moment, Luo Fei stretched out his hand to remove the white cloth from Wang Dashan's body, turned the body over, and saw a long scar on his back.

Xiaoman watched from the side, then nodded firmly and said, "It's definitely Wang Dashan."

Lin Zaizhong grabbed Lin Yuan's hand and glanced sideways at Wang Dashan's body: "Mother, could it be that I—"

At this time, Luo Fei suddenly said to Lin Yuan: "I'm not wrong, Lin Zaizhong is the son of you and Wang Charlie."

Lin Yuan nodded immediately: "Actually, I was pregnant before being bullied by Wang Dashan, and I planned to tell Charlie the good news when he came back from his expedition. I didn't expect him to misunderstand my adultery. I can't argue with it."

Xiaoman listened and quickly covered Wang Dashan's body with a white cloth in disgust.

Lin Yuan: "I have kept this secret for 22 years. When Chong asked me 'why I don't have a father' when I was young, I told him that your father is dead, and I have never mentioned these two things about my father in front of me since then. word."

Xiaoman saw that Lin Zaichong's eyes were red at this time, showing a very complicated expression.

"Until today, Zaizhong came home in a hurry." Lin Zaizhong said and looked at Lin Zaizhong, "Ask me why my photo is in Mr. Wang's, and I only know that Charlie was killed, so I called He brought me to see Charlie one last time."

"I always thought that Mr. Wang valued me so much because he was in a hurry to prepare an art foundation, but I didn't expect it to be for..." Lin Zaizhong began to cry as he spoke.

Luo Fei rubbed his chin and said, "I speculate that Charlie Wang learned the truth recently, so he made up his mind to get rid of Wang Dashan and leave his life's hard work to his son."

Lin Zaizhong suddenly stopped his mournful voice: "As soon as you said it, I remembered that about two months ago, I asked Mr. Wang to sign the document, and I heard Mr. Wang scolding Wang Dashan in the office: he is simply not human, if he hadn't touched As far as Zhang Ma, I was still kept in the dark." Lin Zaizhong said and looked at his mother again, "Then I heard Wang Dashan retort that if you really loved her so much, you would not have let her go in the first place. .”

Xiaoman nodded thoughtfully: "From that day on, Charlie Wang started his revenge plan."

Lin Zaizhong hugged his head, as if he couldn't believe the facts before him.At this time, Benjamin and his servants brought in Wang Charlie's body.

Benjamin waved at Luo Fei: "Luo Fei, Wang Charlie's body has been disposed of."

Lin Zaizhong helped Lin Yuan up, and looked at Luo Fei and Xiaoman with earnest eyes.Luo Fei nodded slightly towards Lin's mother and son.Lin Yuan and Lin Zaizhong immediately lifted the white cloth, and Charlie Wang's pale face was immediately revealed.

In the empty ice cellar, heart-piercing cries immediately echoed.
