The Scheming Ex-Husband's Courtship-Chapter 690 - 596: Murder in the Secret Room (Conclusion)_2

Feng Guang spoke, tears streaming from his eyes: "You must wonder why the Nan Family didn’t intervene. During the party that day, there were a lot of guests and people later formed their own cliques. Han Feiyi and those aristocrats of high society were playing on the second floor, so the incident was only known to those on the second floor. In the end, my mother knelt on the ground, ridiculed by these rich people as a thief, spat on, and had garbage thrown at her. She is over sixty, her hair graying. Just how cruel do these people have to be to harm an old lady like this? It didn’t stop until the butler discovered what was happening and hurried to inform Mr. Nan. Mr. Nan arrived, and that’s when the farce ceased. However, when my mom got home, she cried all night. She might have been poor, but she lived a clean life, never taking advantage of others. She often told me to live with integrity. It was such a principled old lady who committed suicide by hanging herself in the early morning, all because of the drama these rich people caused."

By the time Feng Guang reached this point, he was sobbing uncontrollably, his hands covering his face.

The people around fell into a solemn silence after hearing this.

But soon, Feng Guang wiped away his tears, a slight smile on his face: "Mr. Nan, your deduction is indeed brilliant. However, even if I had a motive to kill, where’s the evidence? You can’t just accuse me of being the murderer based on my reaction, can you?"

A proud smile appeared on Nan Zhan’s face: "Feng Guang, do you really think your actions were flawless? Once I’ve unveiled the truth behind all the facts, the evidence you speak of is indeed plentiful."

Feng Guang’s complexion changed slightly.

At this moment, Luo Shangqing and Zhuo Yanbei carried in something drenched and threw it onto the corridor, Zhuo Yanbei wiping the water droplets from his head: "Brother, we’ve brought everything up."

Luo Shangqing and Zhuo Yanbei were both soaked through, with various aquatic plants and debris sticking to their white shirts, leaving the two handsome men looking dirty and disheveled.

Luo Shangqing calmly wrung the water out of his pants: "I think you owe me a new lab to compensate for today’s labor."

Among the brothers, Luo Shangqing and Zhuo Yanbei were the best swimmers, so the task of diving underwater to retrieve things had been assigned to them.

"It was tough work, I’ll treat you to a meal another day."

Nan Zhan, wearing gloves, walked up to the wet item, untied the rope binding it, and pulled out a small wooden boat: "This is the little wooden boat that my son let go by the lakeside, but when he went back there, the boat had capsized. There were no waves on the lake, so how could the boat flip over? The only explanation would be that something was thrown into the water to capsize it. Therefore, I had Professor Luo and Yanbei dive to the bottom of the lake to retrieve the evidence."

Nan Zhan took out several waterlogged copybooks, flipping through them to reveal writing that had been smeared by the water, childishly and clumsily written: "This is Yuan Xiaoxian’s handwriting. You taught her how to write for today’s purpose. Hence, once the police’s forensics department compares it, we’ll know if the handwriting on the suicide note belongs to you or Yuan Xiaoxian."

Panic was evident in Feng Guang’s eyes as his hands slowly clenched into fists.

"This is a big item, a lawnmower. The lawnmower came to mind because I saw Jian Si using it to cut grass this morning. Later, I had people search everywhere for this machine but it was missing, and only a new machine that had just arrived and still in its packaging was seen in the storeroom. Therefore, I deduced that you threw this old machine into the artificial lake after using it as a murder weapon, knowing it would soon be replaced and no one would suspect anything. Look, this has ropes wound around it, identical to the rope that hung Yuan Xiaoyi. If we search your room, we should find a utility knife, and comparing the cut marks will be evidence as well."

"Additionally, although Han Feiyi’s phone is broken, a little work by technicians should bring it back to life. I believe not only will there be records of contact between the murderer and Han Feiyi, but the murderer’s WeChat account will also definitely be among Han Feiyi’s WeChat contacts. He determined the timing of the crime by observing Han Feiyi’s WeChat. Just last week, Han Feiyi posted a moment showing the invitation to this party. Therefore, just check Feng Guang’s phone and everything will become clear."

Feng Guang’s complexion went completely pale as his hands tightly formed into fists.

At that moment, Nan Yu walked over, took out handcuffs from his pocket, and swiftly cuffed Feng Guang’s wrists: "Feng Guang, no, Feng Tianbao, stop being stubborn. If Lawyer Nan dares to accuse you, it means he has solid evidence. No amount of your clever arguments will help."

"Feng Guang, it’s no use, just resign yourself." Suddenly, Qin Yong, who had been silent till now, sighed: "You’ve taken your revenge for your mother, but you still can’t escape the law’s punishment. I warned you not to commit the crime while Lawyer Nan was here, but you wouldn’t listen. You were just too confident."

Nan Zhan shook his head: "A life taken must be paid for with a life. No matter whether I was here today or not, you would have to pay the price for your actions."

Feng Guang hung his head, a contemptuous sneer still at the corner of his mouth: "To be brought down by Lawyer Nan, I am convinced. As long as those two wretches are dead, my life doesn’t matter anymore. Lawyer Nan, you haven’t asked me yet, what was written on that piece of paper on Han Feiyi’s table?"

"You don’t have to say it. I can guess."

Feng Guang nodded: "Right, I sent her a message to meet me in that room on the second floor. I wrote a letter of demand in my mother’s tone with animal blood on that paper, exposing the events of the past year, cursing her with a miserable death. She was afraid that the incident of her driving my mother to death back then would become public, so she burned the paper with the incense burner I had placed there beforehand. And as for Yuan Xiaoxian, she thought I loved her so much and told me about the events of the past year voluntarily, with not a single hint of remorse; instead, feeling relieved that she had escaped punishment thanks to my mother being the scapegoat. Thus, I chose for her the same method of death as my mother. I told her to pretend to hang herself to avoid suspicion; she was truly stupid to listen to everything I said. Ha ha, it serves her right, such a woman, it’s no loss if she’s dead." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
