Chapter 441: 202 Murder Cases with Yang Ma_le_2
Yang Ming clicked his tongue, “These police are really good at passing the buck.”
“It’s understandable, but I suspect it’s not that the police don’t want to co in, rather, we pressured them not to pursue the investigation.”
Viscount Godoy Saka sighed,
“The people you see around you are nearly the ones who hold the real power on this planet; aside from my less-than-fortunate situation, most of them control vast networks and wealth.”
“Those who are failing won’t co here just to embarrass themselves.”
Yang Ming nodded and smiled, “You can’t decide this lifestyle, Uncle; you’re withstanding the pressure given by our forefathers.”
“And you still know how to console people. We can’t make choices, but we can strive to change.”
The two n looked at each other and smiled. Yang Ming casually picked up a glass of sothing resembling waterlon juice and took a sip; Viscount Godoy Saka stared at the glass before turning his head and fake gagging.
Yang Ming: …
Click, so weak.
At that mont, a well-dressed, handso young man hurried over to Yang Ming’s side.
“Hello, Hui, could you co with ? Three respected elders wish to speak with you.”
Viscount Godoy Saka gave Yang Ming an encouraging look, “Go, there won’t be any issues.”
Yang Ming’s acting was quite decent; he gently pursed his lips, lightly frowned, made a soft hum, and adjusted his glasses with his middle finger before nodding in agreent.
“Please co with .”
The young man swiftly left, and Yang Ming followed him to a small room on the first floor, where Godoy had been eting earlier.
In the room, three elders from the Saka family were sitting on the sofa in the middle.
In a corner, several middle-aged n were quietly discussing the inheritance of the deceased’s properties.
The deceased’s title was not hereditary.
Yang Ming stood calmly in front of the three elders with his hands behind his back, continuing to portray ‘nervousness’ and ‘tension.’
“Hello, young man,” the middle elder sighed, “I’m sorry that your first attendance at our family gathering coincided with such a malicious event. The perpetrator will surely be punished.”
Yang Ming nodded slightly.
“What is your na?”
“Hui,” Yang Ming responded.
“Alright, Little Hui,” the elder on the left said slowly, “I’ll ask you a few questions. What is your relationship with Godoy?”
“I’m his distant relative, to be precise, Lady Daly is my aunt.”
The three elders chuckled softly, and the middle-aged n in the corner also looked over.
The elder on the right asked, “Have you been with Godoy all evening?”
“Yes, nearly everyone can attest to it,” Yang Ming nodded.
“What do you think of tonight’s murder?”
Yang Ming said, “I’m not quite sure, and I don’t know much about the situation, but it should bring so negative impact, especially if the culprit, once identified, turns out to be a mber of the Saka family or even a noble—I’m afraid it will garner public attention.”
The three elders imdiately looked somber.
The elders remarked:
“You considering these points surprises . Yes, for nobles, reputation is the most important wealth. Our family is already declining, and we can’t afford any damage to our honor.”
“It would be best if the culprit were from outside the family, but that’s not for us to decide.”
“Alas, Morlington, usually arrogant and offending many, didn’t deserve hatred this intense.”
“Was he killed by a radical within the family because he disrespected his own lineage?”
“Do you think there are any radicals among our younger generations?”
“That…”
Yang Ming couldn’t help interrupting the three elders, who seed about to engage in a lengthy discussion:
“I think it’s not so complicated, and it could be a cri of passion, like if there were an argunt, the perpetrator impulsively stabbed Lord Morlington in the chest with a weapon, and fearing retaliation, sealed his fate with a gunshot to the brain.”
“The priority now should be to restrict the movents of everyone in the hotel, to not give the perpetrator any chance to tamper with evidence.”
“Additionally… check the surveillance, it might yield unexpected results.”
The middle elder brightened, “Do you know how to catch the murderer, Little Hui?”
“How could I,” Yang Ming said modestly with a smile, “I just like to watch detective dramas and read novels.”
The elder comnted, “Your earlier words were very sound. It’s amazing; talking to you eases the anxiety and tension in my heart considerably, as if you provide great comfort.”
“Co, sit over here, behind us… Although Godoy lacks talent and ambition, he is, in fact, the real direct heir of this family. It’s good you’re here to represent him in this matter.”
“We had just asked him to stay, but he insisted he couldn’t handle it and had to go back to keep you company, saying you were too young to be exposed to such situations.”
“You’re much more composed than him.”
“Let’s have you stay here, and let him go cry outside! Haha! Oh, right, Morlington’s nephew just died; I shouldn’t be laughing. It wouldn’t be appropriate for people to think I harbored any grudge against him.”
Yang Ming pondered, “Perhaps I should go comfort Uncle Godoy; he must be shocked.”
The elder said, “Oh, no need, now you represent him. Bring a chair over here! You guys!”
A middle-aged man imdiately moved to fetch a chair, but Yang Ming quickly stepped up, repeatedly saying he would handle it himself, awkwardly smiling towards the corner.
