"By the way, where is the second young lady?
The second young lady was always by Madam's side, how did she disappear at this moment?"
The butler looked around, as if worried that the second young lady had also been a victim, and hurried to the adjacent room.
But when he reached the door, he found it was locked.
"Let me!"
Yan Tinghao squeezed forward and kicked the door hard.
The door was actually kicked open by him!
"Not bad, you've got some skill!"
It was rare to hear praise from his boss, and Yan Tinghao scratched his head with a憨憨 smile.
But before he could say anything, Lin Qingge's gaze had already passed him and landed on the fallen figure not far from the door.
Lin Qingge quickly walked forward, squatted down to check, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief:
"Fortunately, she was just knocked unconscious."
Having said that, she called Butler Wang Bo over.
"Second Young Lady?
Second Young Lady, wake up?"
Butler Wang Bo kept calling out. After five or six calls, the second young lady, Shangguan Yuyan, finally reacted and slowly woke up.
"Second Young Lady, you're finally awake. What happened?"
"I remember that after I served Mother to rest, I went back to my room.
As I pushed the door open, someone suddenly attacked me from behind. With nowhere to dodge, my vision went black, and I don't know what happened next..."
As she spoke, Shangguan Yuyan reached up and touched the back of her head, and a sharp gasp of pain escaped her.
"Second Young Lady, did you get a good look at the attacker, or any other distinguishing features?"
"Detective Lin, why are you in my room?"
"Second Young Lady, please answer my question."
Perhaps sensing Lin Qingge's overly forceful attitude, Shangguan Yuyan subconsciously replied:
"Because the person appeared behind me suddenly, I didn't see their appearance. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
However, I vaguely remember smelling a perfume, a scent that was very familiar, similar to..."
At the end of her sentence, Shangguan Yuyan fell silent.
Hua Jinrong, standing by the dressing table, kindly completed her unfinished sentence:
"Is it just like the perfume Madam Shangguan uses~"
After speaking, Hua Jinrong waved the piece of paper in her hand.
"Detective Lin, the killer this time was a bit impatient. Before we could find her, she confessed her guilt herself~"
Lin Qingge took the paper from Hua Jinrong's hand and scanned it briefly. She discovered it was a confession.
The signature at the bottom of the confession was Madam Shangguan's real name, Xiahou Jin.
The confession stated that Madam Shangguan, fearing that her affair would be exposed and she would be kicked out by Master Shangguan, decided to kill him.
Therefore, she instructed the driver He Zhang to drug Master Shangguan's usual milk.
Besides the confession, there was an unidentified small bottle on the dressing table.
"Detective Lin, if I'm not mistaken, this bottle contains purified digitalis~
But just to be safe, we should still send it to Bai Er for testing later~"
"Detective Lin, I just found this under Madam Shangguan's pillow!"
Lu Huaiying walked in from outside, holding a small bottle similar to the one on the dressing table.
"This is...?"
"I opened it and smelled it. It should be cyanide."
"So, Madam Shangguan killed Master Shangguan and then committed suicide out of guilt?
But why did Madam Shangguan attack the second young lady, Shangguan Yuyan?
After all, even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs!"
Yan Tinghao habitually scratched his head and raised his question.
But Shangguan Yuyan exclaimed:
"What suicide out of guilt?
Who committed suicide out of guilt?!"
"Second Young Lady, please calm down and listen to me. Madam, Madam just took poison and committed suicide!"
Hearing Butler Wang Bo's words, Shangguan Yuyan rolled her eyes and fainted again.
Seeing this, the butler couldn't help but sigh:
"Madam deserved to die for harming Master, but the second young lady losing both parents within two days, the blow is truly too great."
"Madam Shangguan noted in her confession that she did not want her daughter Shangguan Yuyan to feel guilty about her death, so she knocked her unconscious.
This way, it not only prevented Shangguan Yuyan from stopping her but also proved that she was actively seeking death~"
After Hua Jinrong finished speaking, Lin Qingge frowned and said:
"Although the thoughts of those at their wit's end are not easily understood by ordinary people, compared to knocking her unconscious, there were clearly better ways to get Shangguan Yuyan out of the way.
However, the digitalis powder, which was the murder weapon for Master Shangguan, has been found, indicating that the killer could freely enter and exit this villa without raising any suspicion.
In other words, the killer is someone within this villa!"
"Boss, isn't Madam Shangguan the killer of Master Shangguan?
Didn't Madam Shangguan even leave a confession?"
"It cannot be confirmed yet whether this confession was indeed written by Madam Shangguan, so we cannot jump to conclusions."
"If Madam Shangguan isn't the killer, could it be the driver He Zhang?
Although he's not in the villa, with his knowledge of the place, he could have infiltrated it at any time!"
Lin Qingge said with certainty:
"Although the driver He Zhang is indirectly responsible for Master Shangguan's death, he is not the killer of Madam Shangguan."
"Boss, you've made me so confused! Wasn't Madam Shangguan a suicide out of guilt?"
"Considering Madam Shangguan's personality, do you think she would commit suicide out of guilt?"
Hearing Lin Qingge's rhetorical question, Yan Tinghao recalled Madam Shangguan's fiery temper and immediately shook his head like a rattle drum.
"This is one point.
Secondly, after being poisoned by cyanide, symptoms like difficulty breathing would occur, and the death appearance would likely be somewhat grotesque.
However, Madam Shangguan looked so serene, which clearly indicates someone tidied her appearance after her death."
"Tidied her appearance after death?
If it wasn't a close relative, one would likely not care about a person's appearance after death.
But Master Shangguan died even before Madam Shangguan, and Madam Shangguan had such a sharp and harsh temperament, so the person closest to Madam Shangguan in the entire villa was...
Wait!
Boss, are you implying that it was the second young lady, Shangguan Yuyan, who tidied Madam Shangguan's appearance after death?
But that doesn't add up. Wasn't Shangguan Yuyan knocked unconscious by Madam Shangguan?"
Looking at the傻狍子 who was finally showing some intelligence, Lin Qingge hooked the corners of her lips with a smile that was not a smile:
"Yan Tinghao, who said Shangguan Yuyan was knocked unconscious by Madam Shangguan?"
"Of course it was the second young lady, Shangguan Yu..."
Halfway through his sentence, Yan Tinghao finally realized something was wrong.
"Boss, the second young lady Shangguan Yuyan's claim of being knocked unconscious by Madam Shangguan was actually fabricated by herself?
Then what was her purpose in concocting this lie?"
Lin Qingge did not answer Yan Tinghao's question but looked coldly at the second young lady, who was leaning in Butler Wang Bo's arms and unconscious, and said with a fake smile:
"Miss Shangguan, if my investigation is correct, you studied at Harbin Medical University for one year?"
