The Novelist Forced to Become Famous

Chapter 247: The seventh person

Views:

Jiang Yue was different from the nervous nurse Yu. When she was also called to the hall, she sat down without waiting to be called.

"I heard that if you have any questions, ask me?" she said generously.

Jian Jing asked: "On the day of the incident, at 12:35, what did you do after you saw Jiang Xue leave in a hurry?"

Nurse Jiang said very naturally, "I'm going back to rest."

"No, you went in," she said. "Like Jiang Xue, you also found that the chairman's condition was not good. But with your attentiveness and professionalism, you must have noticed the lack of morphine injection. It is difficult to determine the condition of the deceased at the time. Was he poisoned by morphine or suffering from respiratory depression? Was he about to die, or was he struggling? Anyway, you made a decision to put the blame on someone else."

Jiang Xue was so angry that her teeth were itching. She opened her mouth to curse, but Mrs. Jiang grabbed her arm tightly, forcing her to remain silent.

Nurse Jiang shook her head and asked, "If it was me, why did I specifically remind you before? Isn't it too obvious? Besides, although Miss Jiang Xue ordered me around, I don't like her, so there is no need to frame her for murder."

Jian Jing's face turned cold and she asked, "Ms. Jiang, do you think you are very smart, or do you think I am too stupid?"

"I don't understand what you mean." Nurse Jiang was surprised.

"If you pay close attention to Nurse Yu and Doctor Tao, you will know where your first flaw is." Jian Jing took a sip of red tea to moisten her throat, and her voice suddenly turned cold. "I first asked the doctors and nurses, and they called the chairman 'patient' or 'patient', so you called the deceased 'Chairman'."

Language habits are the easiest way to betray a person.

Dialects and accents betray your field, and word usage habits betray your profession. It's just like the internet meme: "This report needs to be checked at the meeting, the boss cares a lot about it." If someone is used to speaking like this, he either works for a foreign company or is a show-off after studying abroad.

Doctors and nurses will not specifically address a patient as Mr. So-and-so or Mr. So-and-so. Instead, they use general terms such as "patient" or "family member".

But as soon as Nurse Jiang came in, he addressed Jiang Guangze as "Chairman" just like the others.

But she is not an employee of Jiangshui Group.

Of course, one cannot conclude anything just by using a title. Maybe she was hired privately and therefore called him boss like that, but it was enough to attract Jian Jing's attention.

"You think your identity is safe, so it's okay to give me some 'hints'." Jian Jing chuckled, "The first time, you reminded me that the injection was damaged. The second time, it was Jiang Xue who entered the room. The third time, it was Jiang Lian. As an ordinary medical worker, aren't you too concerned?"

The patient's death was in doubt. Facing the family's investigation, Dr. Tao's self-protection and Nurse Yu's caution were reasonable responses.

But Nurse Jiang was too enthusiastic and noticed too many things.

Nurse Jiang said, "You can't suspect me of obstruction just because I'm careful."

"And the amount of medicine." Jian Jing faced the crowd, "Let me explain to everyone, the lethal dose of morphine is 200-500 mg, and the amount of injection medicine lost is 60 mg, which is not too big or too small, just enough to cause acute poisoning."

She said: "If it was done by an amateur, why didn't he just smash all the bottles so that no one could guess how much was broken? The number was controlled so delicately, not more, not less, just the dose that would cause a problem, and it was cleverly disguised as an accident. This person must know the characteristics of morphine.

"In addition, the medicine was placed on the chest of drawers at the door, and the glass fell onto the door, where there was no carpet. If the medicine had broken naturally, Nurse Yu should have heard a sound, but she didn't hear any such noise, so someone must have carefully crushed it from behind - I found some fragments of the ampoule under the carpet beside the bed."

Jian Jing took out a sealed plastic bag and slapped it on the coffee table. Inside was the same glass fragments as the morphine hydrochloride injection.

Jiang Qi picked it up and looked at it for a while, then glared at Nurse Jiang like a knife.

"Jiang Yue, after you entered the room, you found that the chairman was in a bad condition. At the same time, you realized that the dosage of morphine was not right. You guessed that someone had done something, but the loss amount did not reach the standard value. You 'helped' them by crushing the remaining bottles of medicine, blurring the actual injection dosage."

Jiang Yue shrugged: "Listening to your reasoning, it seems that I am indeed the most suspicious, but I still want to ask, why did I do this? Who bribed me?"

"No one bribed you. The reason you did this is simple - to get rid of your opponent." Jian Jing said, "Because you are the seventh person with the right of inheritance. Lawyer Cai, am I right?"

Lawyer Cai pursed his lips and agreed.

Mrs. Jiang frowned slightly and looked at her suspiciously.

"A vixen." Jiang Ou sneered, "She's crazy to do such a thing."

"No, no, you guessed wrong." Jian Jing raised the corners of her lips, "This Miss Jiang Yue, judging by her age, should be the fourth child of the Jiang family, right?"

Jiang Yue raised her head, with a stubborn and doubtful look between her brows: "How did you know? No one should know except Lawyer Cai."

"Are you going into the chairman's study?"

Jiang Lian said: "Of course, but there is nothing in the study, only some antiques."

"Yes, but the chairman originally planned to use this place as his residence in his later years, so the decoration and layout were done very carefully, especially the exhibits. They are all works of famous artists, right?"

Jiang Ou was impatient: "Speak to the point."

"That's the point, but you can't see it." Jian Jing said indifferently, "Don't you think the zodiac animals on the antique shelf are very interesting? They are all made of precious materials, and they just match the people sitting next to you."

"Jiang Lian was born in 1983 and is a pig. Jiang Qi was born in 1990 and is a horse. Jiang Ou was born in 1997 and is an ox. I guess Jiang Yue was born in 1998 and is a tiger. Jiang Baiyan was born in 2000 and is a dragon. Jiang Xue should be born in 2006 and is a dog. Is that right?" she asked one by one.

Except for Jiang Baiyan's cooperation, everyone else maintained a subtle silence.

Jian Jing said: "The chairman is very ruthless to his wife, but judging from his last request, he is quite fond of his wife. The zodiac is on the side of the desk, and he can see her as soon as he raises his head."

In silence, Nurse Jiang said, "I didn't notice this. This is my first time here. After all, my father and I have only known each other for a few years."

Jiang Lian asked: "Lawyer Cai, do you know about this?"

Lawyer Cai nodded and said, "Ms. Jiang and the chairman have done a parent-child identification."

"Maybe you don't know my mother at all. She only stayed with the chairman for three years because he never wanted to marry her. Finally, she decided to leave and marry my adoptive father." Jiang Yue began to tell her story. "My mother passed away five years ago, and my adoptive father remarried. I decided to look for my biological father."

Jiang Ou raised his eyelids and said disdainfully: "I'm not interested in your story. All the reasons why mistresses are kept are made up of the same pattern. It's just a different soup but the medicine remains the same. Stop playing the victim. In the end, it's all about money."

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "What does this have to do with me? I am an illegitimate daughter, but without the chairman, where would I be? Is it wrong for me to want to find my biological father?"

"Ahem." Jian Jing interrupted the trial at the right time. "This is not a moral review. Let's get back to the case. Miss Jiang Yue, you also have the right of inheritance. Moreover, with the help of Secretary Fan, you showed up earlier than anyone else. So, you have every motive to frame someone."

"Secretary Fan?" Jiang Lian looked at the silent audience in surprise.

Secretary Fan said: "Ms. Jiang is the chairman's daughter after all. She hopes to be with the chairman, and the best way is to conceal her identity."

"She is also your son's girlfriend." Jian Jing said, "You didn't lie, but you chose to conceal it."

Secretary Fan moved his lips, unable to deny it.

Jiang Lian sneered.

Jian Jing smiled. Secretary Fan's information was well concealed, and no one in the Jiang family knew about it. However, the driver, who was also the chairman's confidant, was not the same. Jiang Baiyan sold her beauty and got the information.

She clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention: "Okay, now that things are very clear, let me go through what happened on the night of the incident:

"Jiang Lian was the first to enter and injected a small amount of medicine into the chairman; Jiang Ou was the second, you discovered your eldest sister's actions and quickly went to your second brother for help; Jiang Xue was the third, you mistakenly thought that the chairman had gone to the hospital, but it backfired on you and you immediately went to find Mrs. Jiang; Jiang Yue was the fourth, you smashed the medicine bottle, mixed up the injection dosage, and put the blame on Jiang Xue and Jiang Lian; Mrs. Jiang was the fifth, you cut off the power to shut down the medical equipment to protect your daughter; Jiang Qi was the sixth, you forged Mrs. Jiang's fingerprints in an attempt to shift the suspicion of killing her father onto her.

"The above is all the truth about that night."

Jian Jing gave a concluding statement.

Jiang Qi said: "This is all your speculation. You have no evidence."

"Besides, you didn't even make it clear who killed Dad." Jiang Ou added.

"What's there to not understand?" Jiang Baiyan said, "You two killed Dad together."

The scene was silent.

Jiang Ou retorted: "Nonsense, she also said that the medicine injected by my elder sister was very small, not enough to cause poisoning. It must be Assistant Yin who cut off Dad's oxygen machine and killed him."

Jiang Xue immediately protested, "It was the medicine Jiang Lian used! Dad was dying when I went there, it was obviously her." She fought hard, one on two, and pointed the finger at Jiang Yue, "And you, maybe Dad could still be saved when you went there, but you were still nursing him, you didn't do anything."

"I just didn't do anything, but your mother gave the chairman a ride." Jiang Yue was not a pushover either, and every word she said was heart-wrenching.

Everyone was in a mess, it was just a mess.

Jian Jing said, "Okay, stop arguing. Do you accept the answers I gave? If you do, do you want to hear my other guesses?"

"If you have anything else to say, let's say it all at once," Jiang Qi said.

Jian Jing pondered for a moment and said, "I think the chairman has anticipated what you are going to do. His will may be completely different from what you think."

As soon as these words were spoken, the quarrel stopped abruptly.

Jiang Ou asked: "What do you mean?"

"Don't you think the chairman's request is strange?" Jian Jing spread her hands. "All the women must be present and have no doubts about his death. The former is easy to understand. What is the latter's intention?"

Yes, the key to this case lies in the psychological motivation of each person, but we must not forget that the intentions of those who make the rules are also intriguing.

"I was so curious that I searched the bedroom carefully twice." Jian Jing took out a tiny camera from the pocket of her pleated skirt. "There is a memory card inside. I haven't looked at it yet. Everyone—"

She blinked and asked hopefully, "Would you like to take a look together?"

Silence.

Deathly silence.

Everyone had a bad look on their face. After all, doing something bad was one thing, but doing it and being anticipated by others and having others arrange for cameras to record it was another.

Jiang Lian's face was particularly ugly, pale as if she would faint at any time; Jiang Ou picked his hands anxiously; Jiang Xue seemed to have some regrets, but after looking at her mother, she suddenly fell silent; Jiang Yue was very alert, and glanced at the cameraman twice, revealing a hint of fear.

But in the end, it was Jiang Qi who stared coldly at Jiang Baiyan who was about to speak, and said, "No need, I accept the answer."

"What about the other ones?" Jian Jing asked, "Aren't you going to watch it? Maybe there are some errors in my reasoning."

No one responded.

Mrs. Jiang said, "That's it, Lawyer Cai, can we announce the will now?"

Lawyer Cai looked at everyone for advice, and no one raised any objections. He adjusted the frame of his glasses and took out a sealed briefcase from his briefcase.

"This was given to me by the chairman, who asked me to open it after we all reach a consensus." Lawyer Cai showed the sealing strip to everyone before opening it.

There was only a thin piece of paper inside.

Lawyer Cai finished reading it quickly, and then looked at Jian Jing: "Maybe, we should still take a look at the video. The chairman said that the will is in the video."
