My sister regretted sending me to the correctional facility.
Chapter 44 The Real Murderer
I quickly followed Lin Xia to the nearest bank to Aunt Gu's house to find her.
But Aunt Gu is long gone.
So I asked the bank manager.
The other party said that a middle-aged woman did indeed come to the bank to check her account balance.
But when she checked her balance and found it was zero, she went completely insane.
They were making a huge fuss in the bank lobby.
The bank manager's repeated attempts to persuade the other party to calm down were unsuccessful.
He then chose to call the police.
After the police were called, the middle-aged woman left on her own.
I frowned and quickly pressed, "Do you know where she went after she left the bank?"
The bank manager led me to the door.
He pointed in the direction of the bridge.
"After she left, she walked towards the bridge."
Upon hearing this, my heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition immediately arose within me.
Lin Xia shared the same thought as me, worrying that Aunt Gu might have suicidal thoughts.
So we hurried toward the bridge.
By the time we arrived at our location...
To my surprise, a group of people were gathered on the bridge, peering down from the railing.
When Lin Xia and I reached the edge of the crowd.
I can hear them talking.
"Sigh, at your age, why can't you see things clearly? What is there that you can't get over?"
"I heard that person muttering that fifty million was missing. He probably went crazy because the money was gone."
"Fifty million? That old lady is that rich? Could it be that she was swindled out of her money?"
"Who knows? Anyway, she jumped from there, and no one around could save her in time."
"......"
I overheard their conversation.
With a bang, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
I plopped down on the ground, my expression one of shock.
A sense of terror is spreading through my heart.
I cannot accept this.
Aunt Gu, who was chatting and laughing with us and having dinner with us yesterday.
Today, I've become a victim of a suicide attempt!
Lin Xia's pretty face was also terribly pale.
While she was trying to pull me up from the ground, she was also asking those people who had jumped off the bridge.
Finally, after half a day of salvage efforts by the rescue team, the item was recovered.
The body was finally found downstream.
Lin Xia and I rushed over immediately.
When I arrived at the body covered with a white sheet, I trembled as I pulled it off.
I finally realized that the person lying here was Aunt Gu.
At that moment, I was overcome with grief and burst into tears.
After crying for so long, I was so out of breath that I fainted on the ground.
When Lin Xia saw me faint, she hurriedly asked others to carry me to the hospital.
When I wake up again.
It was already three days later.
I don't know why I slept for so long.
When I opened my eyes, it was already dusk outside.
There are needle marks on the back of my hand, with glucose connected to them.
Lin Xia was right next to my hospital bed.
When she saw that I was awake, she gave a wry smile: "Lu Yi, you're finally awake."
Seeing Lin Xia's haggard appearance, I felt as if my heart was being pierced by needles.
If it weren't for me, Lin Xia wouldn't have become like this.
I asked, "Lin Xia, you look so tired. How long has it been since you had a proper rest?"
Lin Xia shook her head: "You've been unconscious for three days, someone needs to take care of you."
My heart skipped a beat; it turned out that Lin Xia had taken care of me for three days.
Suddenly, it dawned on me.
"I slept for three days, so where is Aunt Gu's body?"
"He has already been cremated."
I was instantly enraged, my heart burning with fury.
"Who authorized the cremation?"
"Zhao Ming".
"What gives him the right? Does he have the authority to make this decision? Does Gu Yao know about this?"
Lin Xia took a slight breath: "Gu Yao agreed to let Zhao Ming be cremated."
After hearing this.
I felt completely drained of energy, lying paralyzed on the bed.
Was Gu Yao angry?
"anger."
"Are you angry?"
"angry."
"Hate me?"
Lin Xia looked at me in surprise: "Why do I hate you? Aunt Gu jumping off the bridge has nothing to do with you."
I smiled bitterly and said, "I promised Gu Yao that I would take good care of Aunt Gu when she goes on a business trip."
"Now that Aunt Gu has committed suicide by jumping off the bridge, I must take full responsibility."
Lin Xia saw my self-destructive state.
She stared at me with some anger.
"Lu Yi! Your top priority right now should be to investigate the truth of the matter!"
"Aunt Gu, unable to bear the shame and burden of losing her 50 million yuan inheritance, committed suicide out of shame and fear of facing you!"
"The real culprit behind this is that the person who took the 50 million yuan inheritance is the one who killed Aunt Gu."
Lin Xia suddenly stood up excitedly.
She pointed her finger at my nose: "Blaming yourself won't change what's already happened. Don't you want to get justice for Aunt Gu?"
Lin Xia's words rang in my ears like a thunderclap.
I was jolted awake.
It was as if a sudden realization dawned on him.
"Lin Xia, thank you for waking me up!"
"However, I already have someone in mind who is responsible for Aunt Gu's death."
Lin Xia was incredibly clever and immediately realized what was going on.
"You're referring to... Zhao Ming?"
I nodded silently.
"When Aunt Gu mentioned the 50 million yuan inheritance, only you, me, and Zhao Ming were present..."
Lin Xia said, "Then why don't you doubt me?"
I smiled faintly: "Because with your wealth, fifty million is not very tempting to you."
"But it's different for Zhao Ming. He just had his affair exposed, and Gu Yao's impression and trust in him plummeted. I heard that Zhao Ming is now managing the company terribly, with many contracts being terminated and orders being lost, leading to a sharp decline in the company's revenue."
"At this moment, a sum of 50 million suddenly appeared, which was almost within Zhao Ming's grasp. With this money, he could even reverse his current unfavorable situation."
"Therefore, I can't imagine anyone else besides Zhao Ming who would target Aunt Gu's bank account."
Lin Xia looked at me with an expression of admiration.
She said, "Lu Yi, who says you don't have any strengths? You're very smart, isn't that your advantage?"
I chuckled to myself: "Lin Xia, don't try to comfort me."
"Please call the nurse to remove the needle. I need to go find Zhao Ming right now!"
"I must personally seek justice for Aunt Gu's death."
