1. Rose Villa

When Qin Lang opened Xiao Qing's room, Xiao Qing was curled up in the quilt. The sunlight that suddenly shone into the room instantly stung Xiao Qing's eyes.

"Not ready to go home? How long do you plan to eat and drink here?" Qin Lang asked lazily, leaning against the door.

Xiao Qing didn't answer and put the quilt over her head. It has been a month since I last had a quarrel with my parents and left home, and lived with this friend of the opposite sex. She didn't call home and had to shut herself in her room all day.

"If you want to continue to be so decadent, go ahead. I don't have time to appease your childish resentment. I have to go out to do errands soon, and there is no food in the refrigerator. If you don't get up and move around, you will have to wait. If you die, I will dispose of your body when I come back. Goodbye."

Xiao Qing immediately sat up from the bed, staring at Qin Lang with shining eyes.

"Where are you going?"

Qin Lang looked in the mirror, straightened his tie,

"Rose Villa."

Thirty minutes later, while Qin Lang was driving an off-road vehicle on the highway, he kept looking at Xiao Qing sitting next to him with a look of disgust on his face. Xiao Qing didn't care, she was humming the song comfortably.

Qin Lang sighed and said: "When we arrive at the villa later, please don't talk nonsense. The original owner of the villa is Mr. Wang Boyuan, a tycoon in the newspaper industry. Mr. Wang Boyuan died of a heart attack three days ago. After his death, I was entrusted by him to go to Rose Villa today to announce his will."

Xiao Qing was silent for a while and said, "Are you sure that Mr. Wang's death was an accident?"

p>

Qin Lang looked forward and said seriously: "The reason why I waited until today to announce the will is to wait for the police's final report. Captain Ling told me that there is no problem that Mr. Wang died of a heart attack. The only strange thing is..." Xiao Qing was stunned and looked at Qin Lang, "What is it?" Qin Lang's expression was very unnatural, "It's nothing. Look, Rose Manor is just ahead."

Xiao Qing turned her head, and there was a white villa halfway up the mountain where the road wound up. It looked like a crystal shell against the blue sky and green forest. In the garden in front of the villa, roses with large seeds wrapped their branches around the fence, wrapped around the walls, and climbed up to the balcony of the room.

A few minutes later, Xiao Qing and Qin Lang stood at the door of the manor. The housekeeper Mr. Simon and the maid Xizi led them into the villa with a smile and politeness. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a dignified and beautiful woman in her thirties walking down the stairs. The housekeeper, Mr. Simon, bowed slightly and said, "This is the eldest lady of our house, Ms. Wang Qingjun." Wang Qingjun was very elegant. Shaking hands with Qin Lang with a polite smile: "Lawyer Qin, thank you for coming all the way to work on my father's affairs. Please take a seat."

After a while of greetings, the maids brought tea. With snacks, Wang Qingjun said to Qin Lang: "Lawyer Qin, the will will be announced after dinner. Do you think it is convenient?" Qin Lang nodded in agreement, and everyone was polite for a while. Wang Qingjun left because of something, and asked the housekeeper and maid Xizi to lead Qin Lang , Xiao Qing looked around the villa.

Xiao Qing and Qin Lang seemed to have arrived at a famous scenic spot, looking around in novel ways while listening to the butler's explanation of the situation of Rose Villa. Rose Villa was bought by Mr. Wang Boyuan from a wealthy businessman five years ago. The soil and lighting conditions here are very suitable for growing roses. Therefore, even though the price offered by the wealthy businessman is higher than the market price, Mr. Wang, who loves roses very much, still Bought it. Mr. Wang’s first wife passed away when he started his business in his early years. Now, in addition to Mr. Wang Boyuan, who just passed away, there are four other owners living in Rose Villa: the eldest daughter Wang Qingjun, 32 years old, unmarried, is a novelist , has written several books, but they are not well-known. The second lady, Wang Sijun, is 30 years old, divorced, and a third-tier little singer. The third young master, Wang Lijun, is 28 years old, unmarried, and has no serious job. He is a playboy who has nothing to do all day long except hanging out in bars. The last one is Mr. Wang Boyuan's sister, Wang Minyuan, 46 years old, divorced, and runs a small clothing factory. In addition to the above four, there is also the butler Mr. Simon and more than a dozen servants.

2. Sudden death during the meal

Several people were walking when they suddenly heard the sound of a sudden brake outside the villa. They looked closely and saw a man and a woman walking not far away.

The woman is dressed gorgeously, with heavy makeup, brand names and gold and silver jewelry all over her body. She has a cigarette in her hand and is charming and coquettish. The man next to him was also wearing a brand name, holding a wine bottle in his hand, his suit was open, his tie was tied randomly around his neck, his whole body exuded a strong smell of alcohol, and his eyes were lazy and blurred. The moment the man saw Xiao Qing, his eyes suddenly lit up. "Youniu" ran over crookedly, reaching out to hug Xiao Qing, "Little girl, come and have fun with me." Xiao Qing felt nauseated, Before he could dodge in a hurry, Qin Lang had already grabbed Wang Lijun's hand and bent it inward. Wang Lijun was so angry that he dropped the bottle and started to fight. The housekeeper Simon and the maid Xizi hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. The scene fell into chaos. Wang Sijun was wearing an eight-centimeter T-shirt. The high heels were unstable for a moment and fell into the rose garden. Wang Sijun was so angry that he was about to explode after being helped up by the maid.

"Stop!" Wang Qingjun walked over from a distance so dignifiedly, followed by an older woman with a calculating face - Wang Minyuan.

"Pah!" Wang Qingjun slapped Wang Lijun in the face. Wang Lijun covered his face and cursed: "Wang Qingjun, you old maid, don't use chicken feathers as arrows. After I get my father's inheritance, I can do whatever I want!" Wang Minyuan sneered at the side and said: "So it is. With this idea in mind, no wonder I hope that my eldest brother will die soon."

"Old woman, what are you talking about?" Wang Lijun's face turned red with anger, and he went up to take action. Wang Sijun beside him gently raised his hand and pressed him down. The graceful girl took a puff of cigarette and spit it out again, "Auntie, I'm afraid you are the one who is looking forward to daddy's death the most. Everyone knows that you were purged because of your affair. After leaving home, the clothing factory is in a bleak situation and is now heavily in debt. You have been rejected by your father for borrowing money many times. Now you are at the end of your rope." Wang Minyuan suppressed her blush and said, "Humph, Wang Sijun, you. It’s not much better. You are addicted to gambling, and I heard that you borrowed a lot of loan sharks without telling your brother. Maybe your death was your plan!”

“You, you, you, What are you talking about? The police have confirmed that my father died suddenly of a heart attack. It was an accident! "

"Yes, it was an accident!" Wang Lijun on the side agreed.

"That's enough!" Wang Qingjun gave the three of them a cold look.

At that moment, Xiao Qing suddenly felt something strange, but it passed by in an instant and could not be captured.

At this time, a maid hurried over and said, "Miss, dinner is ready."

"Okay." Wang Qingjun turned around and made an invitation gesture and said: "Lawyer Qin, Miss Xiao, please have dinner in the dining room."

Wang Qingjun and Qin Lang sat down in the dining room. Xiao Qing put her bag on the seat, "I'm going to the bathroom."

As soon as Xiao Qing walked to the bathroom door, she heard a woman's voice coming from inside, "Don't be nervous, no one will know about it, don't let anything slip. The will will be announced soon, our good days It's coming soon." It sounded like someone was answering the phone, and Xiao Qing was about to leave. Wang Sijun slowly opened the door and went out, straightened her hair, gave Xiao Qing a contemptuous look, and left gracefully. Xiao Qing shuddered and pushed the door open. The bathroom is very large, divided into four small rooms. The outside is the dressing room, and the inside is the bathtub, shower room, and toilet room. Even the toilets are different for rich people, Xiao Qing thought.

After everyone came to the dining room and sat down, the maid served delicacies one after another, and soon the table was filled. The aroma of wine wafted, and purple red wine was poured into everyone's goblet. Wang Qingjun picked up the goblet: "To our beloved father." Xiao Qing took a sip and was about to pick up the food with chopsticks when she suddenly heard a painful cry and the sound of a chair falling. Wang Sijun collapsed in pain. On the ground, breathing rapidly and convulsing all over.

"Miss you!?"

"Second sister!"

"Second lady!"

Qin Lang strode over to hug him He picked up Wang Sijun's limp body and gently put her down. "It's too late. Xiao Qing, call the police."

An hour later, the police arrived at the scene. Everyone was sitting on the sofa in the hall with complicated expressions. Wang Qingjun was very silent and showed no emotion. Wang Minyuan looked like it had nothing to do with her, with a somewhat proud look on her eyebrows. Wang Lijun kept his head lowered and his expression could not be seen, but Xiao Qing found that his hands were shaking.

Xiao Qing looked at their different expressions and fell into deep thought: "After police inspection, Wang Sijun died of potassium cyanide poisoning.

The strange thing is that among everyone present, only Wang Sijun's wine glass was poisonous, and the container into which the wine glass was poured was tested and confirmed to be non-toxic. So how did the murderer poison him? And how to ensure that the person who got the poisoned wine glass was Wang Sijun? When did the murderer poison him? "Xiao Qing was puzzled when Qin Lang came over and handed her a stack of A4 paper. Xiao Qing took a closer look and saw that it was the police record. She immediately looked at Qin Lang with gratitude. Qin Lang put his index finger on his lips and said Xiao Qing immediately understood the silent expression, and quietly hid aside and read the transcript carefully.

Wang Qingjun: I have been reading and writing in my room today. At about four o'clock, the maid told me. Lawyer Qin came, and I came down to receive the guests. After sitting with Lawyer Qin for a while, I asked the housekeeper and the maid to take Lawyer Qin around the villa, and then I went to find Aunt Qin. The lawyer was entrusted by my late father to announce the will. Hey, who knew that something like this would happen during dinner? No, there was no time to announce the will to the second sister after the incident. After all, they are biological sisters, so there is nothing wrong with them.

Wang Lijun: I haven’t been home since last night, and I didn’t pick up my second sister until five o’clock today. Then. ? Then it’s time to eat. Oh, by the way, I went back to my room to put things away. How long did I ask if it was annoying? Oh, it was about five or six minutes. I didn’t count. Evidence? What do you mean, do you suspect that I killed my second sister? Just follow the procedure? OK, cooperate with the investigation, but what can I do in five or six minutes? Besides, I have such a good relationship with my second sister. Why kill her?

Wang Minyuan: I went out to the company at eight o'clock today. Oh, by the way, I happened to meet that little bitch Wang Sijun at the door dressed in a fancy way. I was about three in the afternoon. I came back around 0:00, and then stayed in the room until Qingjun came to the room to find me around 5:30, saying that Lawyer Qin was here. Then we went downstairs to find Lawyer Qin, and then we had dinner, okay? Yes, that's right, I had a fight with that little bitch before dinner. She and I really didn't get along. She kept saying bad things about me in front of my brother, but I didn't kill her.

Housekeeper. : The second young lady went out alone to meet friends at eight in the morning, and returned to the villa in the third young master's car at five in the afternoon. After entering the villa, she had some conflicts with Lawyer Qin and Miss Xiao, who were guests today, and then went to the bathroom. Then they came to the dining room to dine.

Maid Kiko: “What’s the relationship between family members? Well, the deceased master was a very serious person and was very strict with his children, so the family members were not very close to each other. Alas, everyone has misunderstood me. Master, I am actually a good father. Um? What is the relationship between the rest of the family and the second lady? The eldest young lady and the second young lady are relatively distant, but there is no major conflict. The third young master has the best relationship with the second young lady. Mrs. Minyuan often had quarrels with the second lady.

Xiao Qing closed the notebook, looked at the goblet on the dining table not far away and fell into silence.

Forensic doctor Lu Qingshu was extracting evidence at the scene when he suddenly felt someone tapping him on the shoulder. He turned around and saw Xiao Qing looking at him with a smile and blinking her big eyes. Lu Qingshu turned around expressionlessly and was about to continue working, when he heard Xiao Qing whispering a few words in his ear. Lu Qingshu was startled, why did he ignore that thing?

A few minutes later, Lu Qingshu told Xiao Qing the result. Xiao Qing nodded and continued to think deeply. "So that's it. No wonder I always feel weird. It turns out that the problem lies here. Fortunately, Qin Lang is here. After the incident, he asked everyone present not to leave the dining room for even half a step. The evidence should still be on her body. It must be Just hurry up. But what is the motive?" Suddenly, Xiao Qing had a flash of inspiration, "Qin Lang, what was the strange thing about Mr. Wang Boyuan's death?" Qin Lang paused for a moment and said, "It turns out that the deceased has passed away. , I don’t want to add any details. Hey, it seems that you think this matter is related to today’s murder.” Xiao Qing nodded, “What is the strange thing you said?”

"At the crime scene, Mr. Wang Boyuan was lying on the carpet in the study room, and the books and medicine on the bookshelf were scattered all over the floor." "Medicine? What medicine?" "A first-aid medicine for heart attacks. And The strange thing is that after forensic identification, some of the scattered medicines were real and fake.

"Fake medicine?" Did Mr. Wang die because he took fake medicine? "Qin Lang shook his head, "According to the identification, the fake medicine is just some ordinary flour and will not cause the patient's death. Xiao Qing's eyes were firm, "But in an emergency, if you take fake medicine by mistake, although the fake medicine itself is not poisonous, it will delay the treatment and cause the patient's death." Qin Lang shook his head again and said: "The ingredients of the medicine he took were not found in the deceased's body, nor were the ingredients of the flour." "

"That is to say..."

"Whether it is real medicine or fake medicine, the deceased did not have time to take it. "

As soon as Qin Lang finished speaking, he saw Xiao Qing running to grab the housekeeper and muttering something. The housekeeper nodded as if he was heavy. Qin Lang was about to call Xiao Qing when he suddenly heard someone at the door. There was a commotion.

"Wang Lijun, this bag of potassium cyanide was found in your suit jacket pocket. I am now officially arresting you for the murder of Wang Sijun. You can remain silent now, but what you said Every sentence will become evidence in court. ”

“Let me go, young master. I said I didn’t kill my second sister. Let me go!” You lousy police officers! "

"Please wait! "A clear female voice sounded, and everyone immediately turned to look at Xiao Qing. The whole place was silent for a moment.

The truth - misunderstood family affection

Ling Feng didn't understand that what he had done How could a captain of the criminal police brigade be reduced to gathering here with a group of suspects and waiting for a little girl to solve a case? Despite this, Ling Feng still waited patiently for Xiao Qing to explain. Hum, if you dare to talk nonsense, I will. Lock you up.

"Tell me, how did the murderer poison Wang Sijun's wine glass in front of everyone? "

"In fact, the murderer did not need to be close to the wine glass to poison him, because the person who put the poison into the wine was not someone else but Wang Sijun himself. "

"That's nonsense. Could it be that Wang Sijun committed suicide? "Ling Feng sneered.

"No. Xiao Qing walked to Wang Sijun's wine glass calmly and asked, "Do you think there is any difference between Wang Sijun's wine glass and other people's wine glasses?" ”

“Ah, the second lady’s wine glass has lipstick marks on it!” "A petite maid said.

"Yes, Wang Sijun loves beauty very much and always likes to wear heavy makeup. The murderer took advantage of her beauty-loving nature and replaced her lipstick with a poisonous lipstick of the same brand. When she drank red wine, the potassium cyanide on her lips would naturally dissolve in the wine and she drank it together.

Xiao Qing paused, turned around and looked at a thin figure in the distance, and continued: "Before dinner, Wang Sijun once fell into the flower garden, or the murderer deliberately took advantage of the chaos to push Wang Sijun down." In the flower garden. Because the murderer knew that with her beauty-loving personality, she would definitely take a shower and change clothes before meals. The murderer took advantage of her bathing in the inner room to remove the lipstick from her cosmetic bag..."

"Why can't she be Did you change the package before? "Ling Feng was a little dismissive.

Xiao Qing smiled: "Captain Ling doesn't understand women very well. A woman like Wang Sijun who loves makeup will definitely have more than one lipstick. Only in this case can we determine which brand and color lipstick Wang Sijun used today. This shows that the murderer is someone who knows Wang Sijun very well. On the other hand, people often have many blind spots and are prone to preconceptions. When everyone saw Wang Sijun died after drinking red wine, everyone would preconceptionally think that the red wine was poisonous. As expected, after the poison was detected in the red wine, who would have thought that there was something wrong with the lip print on the wine glass? "

"Who is the murderer? "Ling Feng was a little impatient.

"It can be inferred that the murderer meets the following conditions: 1. He knows Wang Sijun very well. 2. If possible, push her into the flower garden. 3. There is time to put on lipstick before dinner. If all the above conditions are met, there will be only one person present. "Xiao Qing raised her hand and pointed her index finger at a trembling figure in the corner. "The murderer is you, Miss Kiko! "

The murderer was the maid Kiko? The whole audience was shocked. I saw Kiko wearing an apron, with a frightened expression: "Miss Xiao Qing, do you have any misunderstanding?

Xiao Qing shook her head and began to speak slowly: "I always felt something was strange, and I didn't find out the reason until just now." The butler always wears a pair of white gloves out of etiquette, but maids generally don't wear gloves.

And you, Miss Kiko, have been wearing a pair of white gloves today. "

"It's because Lawyer Qin is coming today, so..."

"No, you are trying not to leave fingerprints when you poison and frame me. Around five o'clock today, Qin Lang and I had a conflict with Wang Lijun in the garden. When you and the housekeeper came to dissuade us, you secretly put potassium cyanide into Wang Lijun's suit pocket while we were not paying attention. "

"Even if what you said makes sense, but where is the evidence? Do you have evidence to prove that what you said is true? "Xiko's cheeks were red and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

"Up until now, no one has left the scene. You didn't have time to destroy the evidence, so that one was taken away. The non-toxic lipstick must still be on you, with Wang Sijun’s fingerprints on it, and Wang Sijun’s DNA on the lipstick. "Xiao Qing was full of confidence.

Xizi bit her lower lip, trembling all over.

"What about the motive? Why would a maid kill a young lady? She has no inheritance rights. " Ling Feng asked.

Xiao Qing thought for a moment, looked sad, and said: "I think everything will be clear after listening to Mr. Wang Boyuan's will first. ”

Will

Everyone will have this day. When this day comes, I don’t think I will be afraid at all, but what I can’t worry about is my children.

Now that I am conscious, I will distribute my property after my death as follows:

Give all the books in my study to my eldest daughter, Wang Qingjun. I am in A. The city opened a bookstore for her, hoping that she would learn wisdom from the book and persist in her dream of becoming a writer.

I gave my old radio to my second daughter, Wang Sijun. The source of her love for singing. In addition, I bought a singing studio for her in city A. I hope that no matter what kind of environment she is in, she can still be free to be herself and be happy. Sijun, forgive her father for being so so. I opposed your entry into the entertainment industry. Yuan Liang’s father was so strict in separating you and your boyfriend because he was too worried about you.

I gave my collection of Van Gogh’s paintings to my son, Wang Lijun. That was his long-cherished wish, and I finally helped him achieve it. In addition, I opened a studio for him in City A. I hope he can start everything over again. Li Jun, please forgive my father for being so cruel as to break your painting. Dream, scolding you for not doing your job properly has caused you to be so decadent and confused in your future life. I hope it is not too late for your father to start supporting your dream.

Leave my Rose Manor to me. The youngest daughter, Kiko. Rose is Kiko’s mother and her favorite flower. Kiko, I forgive my father for not fulfilling his responsibilities as a father for many years. I cannot bring your mother to me and give her a name, nor can I admit it publicly. Your identity. But I still hope that in the remaining days of my life, I can do something for you that a father should do.

I hope that my four children can love each other and be the same. Facing the difficulties and tribulations in the future, my father will always be with you.

When Qin Lang read the last word of his will, the scene was silent for a long time.

Xizi was already in tears. She rushed over, pointed at Wang Lijun in anger and cried: "It was you, it was you who changed my father's medicine, it was you who killed my father and deprived me of the last time to enjoy my father's love! ”

“Ms. "Butler Simon stood in the crowd and said heavily.

Simon remembered that day, when the master discovered all this, he was not angry. His back was turned to him, and his back was soft under the afterglow of the setting sun. Lonely again. He heard the master say slowly: "Give the children one more chance. "

Therefore, Simon did not mention this matter to anyone.

"The death of the master was indeed an accident. "The housekeeper said seriously.

Suddenly, Wang Lijun looked up to the sky and let out a painful groan, which echoed in the hall for a long time.

Epilogue

"So you ran there then What was confirmed with the housekeeper is that Xizi is the daughter of Mr. Wang Boyuan? ”

“Yes, Mr. Wang Boyuan fell in love with Kiko’s mother in Japan when he started his business. Wang Boyuan had a wife at that time, so Wang Boyuan stopped contacting Kiko’s mother after returning to China.

Until Kiko's mother passed away five years ago, she asked Kiko to come to China to find her father before she died. Since Mr. Wang Boyuan is a local celebrity, public opinion cannot recognize Xizi's identity, so he arranges for Xizi to be a maid to stay with him. The so-called Xizi probably means "cherishing the child". I think Xizi's mother hopes that Mr. Wang can pity her child. "

Qin Lang sighed while driving: "What a sad story. By the way, that forensic doctor Lu Qingshu is your fiancé? You had a quarrel with your parents and ran away from home just to resist their forced marriage? "

Xiao Qing nodded, was silent for a while, then looked at Qin Lang and said: "I will pack up and go home tomorrow. ”

“You figured it out? "

"Well, I can't keep escaping. I want to have an honest and honest talk with my parents. I don’t want misunderstandings in family relationships to cause irreparable regrets. ”
