The news headline is: Millionaire dies mysteriously!
"Yesterday night, the carriage in which banker David Fuller was riding had an accident. It broke through the fence and fell into the river!"
"The coachman was lucky to be rescued, but David Fuller himself unfortunately drowned!"
…
David Fuller...isn't he the old fox who competes with Mrs. Jones for the inheritance?
Gao Fei recalled the plot of the previous chapter and felt that the cause of Fuller's death was more and more suspicious.
At this time, the system prompts that it is time to "seize the gods".
Gao Fei immediately switched to the protagonist's first-person perspective, stood up, and shouted outside the office: "Lisa! Help me get the other newspapers published this morning!"
"Come right away, dear."
Not long after, Miss Lisa came in with a pile of newspapers.
The firm subscribes to six newspapers in total.
In addition to the "Sun" that Gao Fei often reads, the other five newspapers are also quite influential, with different audiences.
Gao Fei quickly browsed through several other newspapers, and sure enough he found relevant reports on the death of David Fuller on prominent pages.
Based on reports from various media, there are currently two main theories regarding the cause of Fuller's death.
The mainstream theory is that he died in an accident, which is also the current investigation result announced by the police.
However, public opinion circles also put forward another speculation, believing that Fuller's death was a murder disguised as an accident.
A columnist provides analysis from a detective's perspective.
Assume that Fuller may have died in a well-planned murder. Who would benefit from this murder?
The author lists several options.
Among them were Fuller’s only daughter and nephew!
Fuller's daughter is the sole heir to a million-dollar fortune.
However, it seems unlikely and unnecessary for a young girl to murder her own father.
As for Fuller's nephew and secretary Wallace, it's hard to say.
This well-informed columnist pointed out that Wallace was actively pursuing his cousin, eager to get closer to the Fuller family and become the banker's son-in-law and career heir.
However, David Fuller was not very satisfied with his nephew.
Fuller once expressed his attitude in social circles, feeling that marrying his daughter to his nephew could neither increase his property nor improve his social status, and was purely a loss-making transaction.
He prefers to use his only daughter as a marriage tool, marrying into a noble family or betrothed to the son of a business partner.
Of course, Mr. Fuller did not give up his words. He still left a glimmer of hope to his nephew and made a decision based on his performance.
Wallace was like a donkey, being hung by his uncle on a carrot. He had to work hard for his uncle and flatter the father and daughter.
He also felt that the hardships he endured now were all paving the way for a bright future, and that one day he would be able to win the approval of his uncle and the heart of his cousin, marry Bai Fumei, and inherit a huge family fortune.
However, the good times did not last long. Just two weeks ago, the judicial duel initiated by David Fuller and Mrs. Jones over the inheritance dispute shattered Wallace's dream.
Gu Lao
This duel was organized by him from beginning to end.
In the end, he messed up and eventually lost the lawsuit involving the ownership of the inheritance of two million in the duel field.
Actually, Wallace can't be entirely blamed for this.
When the court ruled that Mr. Jones's estate should be divided equally between the two parties in the lawsuit, Wallace once advised his uncle to just give it up and settle with Mrs. Jones!
It would be good to get 1 million.
Even if we take another step back, it will be fine if the two sides are divided at four or six points!
After all, it would be a bit deceptive to rob the widow of her inheritance based on a vague gambling agreement.
However, his suggestion was not adopted by his uncle. Instead, he greatly angered his uncle and his equally greedy cousin. They scolded him at the dinner table as "a country bumpkin who has never seen the world", "a wimp who is just a rich man", and "an elbow."
Turn out."
Wallace was scolded so hard that he couldn't even lift his head.
In order to change his image in the eyes of his uncle and cousin, he had no choice but to change his position and actively support the judicial duel provoked by his uncle. He worked hard and worked hard.
He recommended Hashem, a monk from the Bellow Sect, as his uncle's dueling agent.
The uncle agreed, but after losing the duel, he turned against him and not only fired Hashim, but also complained that his nephew was short-sighted.
Wallace was treated as a punching bag by his uncle, and one can imagine his resentment.
Seeing that he has been crossed out from the list of candidates for son-in-law by his uncle, and is gradually far away from his dream of marrying Bai Fumei and inheriting a millionaire family, as a young man with a strong spirit, how can he bear this tone?
After some analysis of Wallace's mentality, the columnist suggested that Wallace was the most likely murderer of his uncle.
"It doesn't seem difficult for a mage to cast a spell to cause a small malfunction in a speeding carriage."
"Of course, I am not a witness at the accident scene, and I have no intention of identifying the murderer."
"I was just exercising my right to free speech granted by the law, and reminded the Avalon police in good faith, why not investigate Wallace? Maybe there will be unexpected gains!"
Gao Fei finished reading the article, put the newspaper aside and fell into thought.
"My dear, do you also think that Fuller's death was not an accident and that his nephew is suspected of committing the crime?" Lisa couldn't help but ask.
"I do suspect that Fuller died of murder. As for whether the murderer was his nephew... I think it is unlikely."
"However, the analysis in this article seems to be very reasonable." Lisa picked up the newspaper.
"That's purely one-sided." Gao Fei shook his head and smiled, "I'm very familiar with this method of writing articles. To put it bluntly, it's 'putting up a target first and then shooting'. You first identify someone as suspicious, and then you compile arguments to prove the other person.
He is indeed a murderer."
"Lisa, this is not a rigorous reasoning, but a category of literary creation. According to this logic, if you just write a sentence on the paper, I can figure out that you are a murderer."
Taking the coffee handed over by Lisa and taking a sip, Gao Fei continued: "If Wallace really murdered his uncle, how he would cover up his crime afterwards would be secondary. What is more important is how he would convince his cousin to marry him.
for myself?"
"Judging from the attitude of Fuller's daughter towards Wallace, she might have had hope of marrying her cousin before her father's death, but after her father's sudden death, this hope has been almost zero."
"If Wallace could not marry Fuller's only daughter as he wished, then there would be no point in murdering Fuller."
"It is possible to be carried away by anger and kill someone impulsively, but I think as a mage, Wallace is unlikely to kill someone impulsively regardless of the consequences."
After listening to his explanation, Lisa nodded thoughtfully.
"I have come into contact with Fuller's daughter Emily in social circles. How should I put it...she is the typical daughter of a 'nouveau riche' family. She is indulgent and willful, without any cultivation. She only thinks that the whole world should be around her.
