Chapter 46 The Truth

Ling Chen shook his head and denied:

"She is a person who is easily stimulated and has great emotional fluctuations. Such a personality is not suitable for carrying out such a conspiracy."

"Is it possible that he is acting..."

Before Qin Wei finished his sentence, Ling Chen interrupted:

"Don't forget, the reason why she hates the village chief and his family is because her husband was killed by a witch in the past. If Mrs. Laura is the hidden witch, the cause and effect will not make sense."

Ling Chen took another puff of cigarette, slowly exhaled a stream of white mist, and then continued:

"But you are right about one thing. The prisoner must hate the village chief very much. As for Mrs. Laura... she should be just a victim, playing the role of a pawn."

"Who is the real witch? Brother Ling, do you have any idea?"

"This is also the problem that is bothering me now."

Ling Chen smiled bitterly, his face full of frustration.

Qin Wei scratched his hair hard, saying that this kind of mental activity was really not suitable for him.

After worrying for a while, he gave up on himself and said:

"I'm still not good at using my brain, so I'll leave the rest to you."

Ling Chen smiled bitterly and said:

"Don't think too highly of me, I don't have a clue at the moment."

Qin Wei lit up the cigarette and took a puff, then patted Ling Chen on the shoulder and said:

"There is no need to belittle yourself. If it weren't for your efforts, who would have discovered the true cause of death of the village chief and his wife."

Ling Chen smiled and said:

"Brother, you are wrong. The cause of the village chief's death was found out by a doctor, under a professional examination..."

Only halfway through his words, Ling Chen suddenly stood up.

Qin Wei, who was next to him, was immediately startled and looked at Ling Chen blankly.

In fact, the reason why Ling Chen was so surprised was because after he said a certain sentence, he suddenly thought of a terrible conjecture.

The village chief was confirmed to have been poisoned under a doctor's examination...

It was under professional inspection...

Also in the previous reasoning, the housekeeper made up the illusion that Lady Anne was assassinated...

In fact, the village chief committed suicide rather than being poisoned...

If the above factors are added together, then...

"That's it! In this case, everything makes sense." Ling Chen thought to himself.

He turned to look at Qin Wei who was a little dazed, smiled and said:

"Thanks to you this time... If it weren't for what you said wrong, I wouldn't have remembered an extremely crucial point just to correct you."

He hurriedly picked up Qin Wei and led him out together.

"Go find Lin Zhiwen and Chen Qianru. Invite them together. I have already figured out who the witch is."

"Who is it?"

"Housekeeper."

"What?"

Ling Chen did not explain Qin Wei's question, but planned to explain it slowly after everyone gathered.

In this way, he approached the other two people with Qin Wei, who was full of doubts.

After gathering all the contractors, Ling Chen finally opened his mouth and told his conjecture about the whole matter...

…………

After listening, the three of them looked at Ling Chen in disbelief, dumbfounded for a while.

However, after careful consideration, even Chen Qianru, who had argued with Ling Chen, had to admit that this guess should be closest to the truth.

"I know there is no substantial evidence now. No matter how reasonable it is, you can't submit the report directly. After all, you only have one chance."

In order to dispel other people's doubts, Ling Chen finally whispered a plan:

"But as long as we lock the target, everything will be much easier to handle. As long as we make some preparations, we must..."

After listening, the other three nodded in agreement, and soon set off separately, and then launched a series of actions.

Of course, I deliberately avoided the housekeeper during the process.

Everyone knows what happened next...

It was the scene where the housekeeper was blocked by four contractors when she was returning to the villa after going out for the third time, and could not enter the door.

"You said you found a clue?" The housekeeper's tone sounded a little low.

Ling Chen did not respond directly to the question, but instead said something less relevant:

"After the villagers drank the poisoned wine, there were no obvious features left on the body. After a professional examination by a doctor, it was determined that the cause of death was poisoning."

After finishing speaking, Ling Chen suddenly laughed out loud, which was inexplicably reminiscent of a fisherman collecting his net!

His eyes were as sharp as knives, and he said word by word:

"Excuse me, when you found Mrs. Anne's body, how did you instantly confirm that...she had been poisoned?"

"Didn't I tell you that there was a wine glass next to the lady? I knew she had drunk the poisoned wine as soon as I saw it."

"No, no, no, the wine glass can't explain anything."

Ling Chen stretched out his index finger, shook it in the air, and said decisively:

"There was also a wine bottle where the village chief was found, but the maid believed that he died suddenly from drinking too much... It was not until the doctor arrived that the real cause of death was discovered."

Helen, the housekeeper, raised her eyelids and said indifferently:

"This means nothing."

Ling Chen snorted coldly and said lightly:

"You confirmed the cause of Lady Anne's death in an instant, and you fabricated the scene very decisively. It only took a few minutes. Your reaction is really admirable..."

Without waiting for Helen to respond, Ling Chen continued:

"How can ordinary people react so quickly? Unless...you knew the wine was poisoned from the beginning."

Helen's expression was uncertain at the moment, she narrowed her eyes and said:

"I have no knowledge of the death of my wife and master."

Ling Chen sneered and said:

"Speaking of the village chief...you said that he secretly retrieved the poisoned wine and deliberately committed suicide, right?"

Helen exhaled, then closed her eyes slightly and said:

"That's right."

Ling Chen stared at her closely and said seriously:

"After regaining my suspicion of you, I found that the whole thing was just your one-sided statement without any proof. It is still unknown whether the village chief committed suicide."

At this time, Qin Wei glanced at Ling Chen with a puzzled expression on his face.

Although he had already listened to the explanation once, he still didn't quite understand some of the details, and he suddenly wondered:

"Does it matter whether the village chief committed suicide?"

"Of course it's important. If the village chief didn't commit suicide, we can know why the housekeeper went to fake Lady Anne's murder scene."

"What's going on?"

"Now that I think about it, she had two reasons for faking the scene."

Ling Chen raised a finger:

"First, it was to temporarily conceal the true cause of Lady Anne's death so that no one would know that the wine was poisonous."

Qin Wei touched his chin and said:

"Even the death of the village chief was deliberately arranged by her?"

Ling Chen nodded and said:

"The village chief loves his wife very much. He will usually accompany her to drink a small glass of fruit wine with her after meals..."

Lin Zhiwen interrupted at this time:

"So, her original plan was probably for the village chief and his wife to drink poisoned wine at the same time, and then both of them died..."

Ling Chen glanced at him with approval and said lightly:

"However, our arrival interrupted the meal. The village chief came to receive us alone. Lady Anne was the only one who drank the poisoned wine."

After hearing this, Qin Wei also figured it out and suddenly said:

"In order to make the village chief drink poisonous wine in the future, he concealed the true cause of Lady Anne's death. Moreover, Helen not only did not throw away the bottle of wine, but also did not tell the village chief the truth about the matter."

Ling Chen sighed and said:

"The village chief drank the fruit wine that his wife drank every day at night in order to remember the past... He drank the poisonous wine without knowing it, and finally died of the poison."

Qin Wei also sighed and looked at Helen with more and more disgust.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, what about the second reason?"

Ling Chen raised his second finger and said calmly:

"This sounds a bit contradictory. She stabbed the body in order to eliminate her own suspicion."

Qin Wei said doubtfully:
Chapter completed!
