It was late at night. A bottle of red wine had been drunk by the three of them. Xia Guangyuan was in a lively conversation. Xia Yiran took a set of blankets and put them on his father. Xu Wen held his chin and stared blankly at the dark night sky.
The first half of the Shen family's story has come to an end here. Half a month after Shen Yunguang was kicked out of the house, the tragedy that shocked Zhongjiang happened.
Xia Guangyuan put the empty wine glass back on the table, sighed and said:
"When I heard the news and rushed to the Shen family villa, the police had blocked the road up the mountain. A large number of people and vehicles gathered on the road below the mountain, almost blocking the asphalt road. Most of the people gathered there were They were people from the Shen family's company. They were all without a leader and were very anxious.
I stayed on the roadside for a while and heard people say that it was discovered by a milkman. He came to Shen's house early in the morning and saw that the front door and the building door were both open. When he went in, he saw that the house was full of corpses. "
"How many people died in the villa at that time?" Xu Wen asked.
Xia Guangyuan replied with a whimpering voice:
"There are seven people in total, namely Shen Xin, Shen Xin's lover Ma Xiaohui, Shen Yunhe, Shen Yunhe's lover Duan Lixia, Shen Yun and his three-year-old eldest son Shen Feiqiang, nanny Yuan Xiying and cook Wu Shengchang."
"How did they all die?"
Xia Guangyuan shook his head and said to Xu Wen:
"I heard that all of them were stabbed to death. The scene was horrific. All I know is hearsay. If you want to know the specific situation, ask Liang Shi. He was involved in that case when he first joined the criminal police team. He knows all the details of the case. And he is also the only one who is still in the criminal police team among the criminal police officers who participated in the murder case."
"That day at Shen's house, why did they say that I fell into the cliff and died?" Xu Wen asked in confusion.
"That's it." Xia Guangyuan explained:
"After the incident, the police found that the Shen family's nanny Tang Ju, the driver Shi Fusheng and you were missing. I didn't know this at the time. When I went to the criminal police team to inquire about the news the next day, I heard that you were not in the villa when the incident occurred. . Then I remembered that on the morning of the incident, you were carried by your nanny to burn incense in the mountains.
Based on the clues I provided, the police immediately went to Lingshan Temple to investigate. The abbot of the temple said that it rained heavily after you arrived at the temple that day. The heavy rain continued until dark and did not stop. For safety reasons, so that night you We stayed in the temple with our nanny and driver.
The three of you drove away from the temple the next morning, and no one has seen you since."
"Then why did he fall into the cliff again?" Xu Wen asked.
"Seven days later, someone discovered the remains of a vehicle under the road leading from Lingshan Temple to the city. The vehicle fell off a cliff and caught fire. Inside the vehicle were the charred remains of a man, a woman, and a baby. The police relied on the remains of the vehicle and other evidence. The judgment confirms the death of Tang Ju, Shi Fusheng and you."
"Why did it take seven days to find out?"
"The police said at the time that the place where the car fell off the cliff was sparsely populated, and it was normal that the car wreckage was not discovered in time."
"Has the time when the car crashed into the cliff been determined?"
"I don't know. I just heard that the police took a long time to confirm the news of your death. I guess they were too sure at the time. It seems that the police's original judgment was wrong."
"Yes, I am obviously still alive, how did they prove my death?"
"Yeah, I don't know how they confirmed your death. Judging from the birth certificate and gold beads left by your adoptive father, you are the real Shen Feiwen. If it wasn't you who fell into the cliff, then the baby in the car Who is it again?"
"If I was not in the car that crashed off the cliff, would the nanny and driver found in the car really be the nanny and driver? Would they still be alive now?" Xu Wen said.
Xia Guangyuan shook his head and said helplessly:
"I only know these specific circumstances. No one ever doubted the authenticity of the car accident. Everyone sighed for the Shen family."
"Has there been no progress in the investigation of the case?" Xu Wen asked.
"No. I later went to the criminal police team to ask many times, and every time they shook their heads helplessly at me. As time went by, the case was slowly forgotten by people. If you hadn't suddenly appeared at Shen's house this time, I believe that case will never be brought up again."
The wind picked up, and Mr. Xia went back to his house to rest. Only Xu Wen and Xia Yiran were left in the pavilion. They cuddled together and looked at the stars in the sky through the gaps between the sparse grape leaves.
"Look at how beautiful the stars in the sky are." Xia Yiran said.
"Some people say that people who pass away will turn into stars. I wonder where they are?" Xu Wen has not yet come out of the story just now.
"Although you can't see them, I believe they can definitely see you and me. My uncle and aunt should be relieved to know that we finally got together."
"Do you think they were the ones who led me into the Shen family at that time? If so, then in addition to letting me find you, they should also have led me to seek revenge."
"Revenge? Awen, thirty years have passed since the incident. Even the police didn't find the murderer. Can you find it now?" Xia Yiran asked.
"Yes. I think God will never let the innocent souls live alone in the ancient wilderness. I will definitely be able to find the clues left by the murderers and bring them to justice." Xu Wen said, looking firmly at the vast night sky. .
In order to ease the atmosphere between the two, Xia Yiran leaned on Xu Wen's shoulder and said softly:
"By the way, there's something I forgot to tell you."
"What's up?"
"The girl of your dreams will come to China soon."
"What dream girl?"
"Heidi, your chairman of Halcyon Bank."
"Oh, don't talk nonsense. She doesn't know anyone named Xu Wen at all."
"But she knows Chen Feng!" Xia Yiran said coquettishly with a jealous face.
"Chen Feng, it's just a code name. Don't mention this name to anyone." Xu Wen said seriously.
"Well, okay. I'm just kidding you. Seeing how nervous you are, is there really something going on between you two?"
"It's not like you imagined. By the way, why did she come to China?" Xu Wen asked in confusion.
"Coming to find you." Xia Yiran said with a wink.
"Nonsense, please be more serious." Xu Wen Ai Lian poked her finger on the head.
"The Zhongjiang branch of Hesheng Bank is about to open. As the chairman of Hesheng Bank, she should be here to attend the ceremony. In addition, there should be other purposes..."
"Okay, please remember that you don't know Chen Feng, and you don't know that anyone called her about the loan."
"Okay, people know."
In front of Xu Wen, Xia Yiran looked like a little woman, completely lacking the aura of the domineering president of a real estate company.
