Overlord, he played off

"Mr. Huo, Huo Kaize is dead."

Huo Kun was slightly startled when he heard this, he exchanged a glance with Jiang Xuecheng, and asked in a deep voice, "When?"

"In the evening, someone found Huo Kaize's body in the lower reaches of the river outside the community where he was hiding. He died by drowning. He must have drank a lot of alcohol before his death. Now the police have been involved in the investigation. It is suspected that he was drunk too much and accidentally fell into the water and drowned. "

Huo Kun rolled his eyes, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and said coldly: "Really?"

The person on the other end of the phone sensed Huo Kun's displeasure in his voice, and explained: "Mr. Huo told us to continue to pay attention to Huo Kaize's movements. We dare not relax. Huo Kaize has been very depressed recently, and he was drunk all day long. We also pay attention , but just this evening, he was drinking at the bar, and went to the bathroom halfway, but he didn’t come out for a long time. Our people noticed that something was wrong and rushed to the bathroom, only to find that Huo Kaize had left the bar at some point.”

"We didn't know that the phone had been stolen until we found the location based on the positioning system installed in Huo Kaize's mobile phone, and Huo Kaize was still missing until his body was suddenly found this evening."

Huo Kun didn't know what he was thinking in his mind, and he said after a while: "Has the police already settled the case for accidentally falling into the water?"

"At present, it is preliminarily determined to be a suicide, but because of Huo Kaize's special status and Mrs. Han Mi's insistence, the police are investigating one by one to rule out the possibility of homicide."

"Is there any suspicious point found at the scene? Or is it 'just' left evidence?"

"No."

Huo Kun said: "Understood, drop all the hands back, clean up the tails, don't leave traces and cause the police to suspect for nothing."

Huo Kun hung up the phone, his expression was not very good.

Jiang Xuecheng has been immersed in the battlefield of power struggle for so long, and with his keen senses, he immediately smelled something unusual, "Huo Kaize's death may not be easy."

"Whether it's an accident or not, if something happened to Huo Kaize, everyone should be the first to suspect me." Huo Kun narrowed his eyes, with a cold expression on his face, and said, "Who did it so quickly? A cheap brother doesn't have such decisive and ruthless methods."

Jiang Xuecheng said: "Not necessarily, those few who were plotted by Huo Kaize have hatred in their hearts. If they can find a chance to solve Huo Kaize and cause you trouble, why not do it?"

"That's right," Huo Kun said again: "But if this game is arranged by me, the shore or Huo Kaiser should bring some 'evidence' to drag the target person into the water and get covered in water." It's fishy. The strange thing is that the traces at the scene only point to the accidental falling into the water. I don't know whether I should be grateful or afraid."

Jiang Xuecheng said: "But think about it, although this didn't directly drag you into the water, but in the eyes of those who are interested, you are more suspicious, isn't it? If there is any 'evidence' to identify the murderer, it will make people think it is framed."

"Everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages."

"Anyway, the suspicion on me is unavoidable," Huo Kun stood up and said, "I have to make some arrangements."

Seeing that Huo Kun was leaving, Jiang Xuecheng sent Huo Kun to the door.

Huo Kun stood still at the door and turned around: "Brother, I won't come over these two days, you take care of yourself, don't worry."

How could Jiang Xuecheng not be worried in his heart, and just told him: "If someone doubts you when you go back, don't get angry, and don't be irritated by the other party. Just obey the old lady and the old man. You are still young, so it doesn't matter if you dress up appropriately and innocent. Talk less, Read more and think more. Call me if there is something you don’t understand or something that is inconvenient to do.”

Most of the haze between Huo Kun's brows disappeared because of Jiang Xuecheng's earnest exhortation. His brows relaxed a little, his heart felt warm, and his eyes couldn't help but stare at Jiang Xuecheng for a moment.

Jiang Xuecheng Huo Kun was so stupid, he felt angry, and hit Huo Kun's head, "Did you hear that?"

Huo Kun nodded, "I heard it, and I wrote it down."

Huo Kun placed a soft kiss on Jiang Xuecheng's forehead, "Don't worry, I know how to do it."

Huo Kun didn't go back to Huo's house, but went back to his own residence first. He should be in a state of not knowing anything now. He only needs to wait for a call from the old house before he can return to Huo's house. Otherwise, he will go back too early and will just sit confirm his suspicions.If he had no intention of harming Huo Kaize, why did he pay attention to Huo Kaize's whereabouts, and how did he know that Huo Kaize had an accident before the police and Huo's family were notified?

Therefore, Hawkun must not go back early.

Not long after Huo Kun returned to his residence, within half an hour, he received a call from the housekeeper of the Huo family, saying that the old man asked him to go back.

Huo Kun thought: Here we come.

He pretended to be ignorant and said, "Father suddenly asked me to go back, what's the matter?"

The big housekeeper was very strict and said: "Young master, you will know when you come back."

Huo Kun didn't really want to hear the answer. He asked this question just to convey a message to the old man and the old lady: I ​​don't know what happened yet.

The Huo family's old house is different from the decoration style that young people like nowadays. It pays attention to the low-key and restrained ancient flavor. The house is filled with a bit of lively life, making it very dull and depressing.I heard from the old servant who has worked here for many years that it was better at first, but after Huo Junhao passed away, the Huo family's old house became more and more solemn.

Huo Kun rushed back to Huo's house overnight, the old lady was still sitting on the sofa in the living room like a Bodhisattva, with Buddhist beads in her hand, her face was kind, but the old man Huo Zhenlin was not in the living room.

Huo Kun walked into the old house, "Ma'am."

The old lady closed her eyes and pushed out two more Buddhist beads, then opened her eyes, and said softly, "You are back, your father is still in the room, he will come out later."

He didn't say a word about other things.

After a while, Huo Zhenlin, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was pushed out from the next room by the servant.

As soon as Huo Zhenlin came out, the butler made a gesture, and the servants in the living room left silently. Only Mrs. Huo, Mr. Huo, Huo Kun and the butler were left in the living room. The atmosphere became more and more tense. Stagnant and dull.

Huo Kun said respectfully: "Father, how is your health after not seeing you for a few days?"

After treatment, Huo Zhenlin's condition improved slightly. Although he was still paralyzed, he was able to speak.

Huo Zhenlin has been successful and famous all his life, with boundless scenery, but in his later years, everything is not going his way.First he lost his heir, and then the battles of several incompetent sons ruined the reputation he had accumulated all his life, and then he was paralyzed by a stroke, and now he lost a close son.

The glory and arrogance of Huo Zhenlin's life were almost wiped out by these incompetent sons in his later years.Even if he doesn't want to admit it now, he still has to suspect that Huo Kaize's death may be related to his other sons.

After Huo Zhenlin lost his heir and was disappointed with his other sons, he was actually extremely gratified to suddenly get such a smart and usable young son as Huo Kun.But this little son has never grown up by his side, so the love is naturally not as good as that of Huo Kaize who watched him grow up since he was a child. Even if Huo Kaize is incompetent, his feelings are deeper than this little son.

Huo Zhenlin's cloudy and shrewd eyes looked at the young son who had just brought back with a cold light. Huo Kun didn't wear the suit he usually wore when he appeared in the company or in public. He probably came in a hurry. He only wore homely clothes.A white T-shirt, a pair of black sweatpants, and a pair of sneakers, the young, energetic, and boyish aura rushed over his face, making the old man who was used to him in a suit suddenly realize that his little boy The son is only 20 years old, and he is still in school.

Huo Kaize couldn't help but think of the appearance of the late Huo Junhao at this age, also youthful and energetic, but because of his extraordinary background, there was even a little more arrogance in Huo Kun's brows than the current Huo Kun, obviously he had just glimpsed the fur of this world. , so young and frivolous.But when I think about it, I can't help but feel that young children should look like this?

Thinking of Huo Junhao in the past, and looking at Huo Kun again, the cold light in Huo Zhenlin's eyes dissipated a lot. After all, he was only 20 years old, and he was still a young and law-abiding flower bone in his bones. How could he understand these cruel methods?I'm afraid it wasn't done by some of his incompetent brothers.

But in a flash, most of Huo Zhenlin's doubts about Huo Kun were dispelled, but he still kept a straight face and said in a deep voice, "Your fifth brother Huo Kaize is gone."

Huo Kun suddenly raised his eyes and exclaimed in disbelief, "What!"

Huo Zhenlin carefully looked at Huo Kun's reaction, and found nothing wrong.

Huo Kun seemed to be still immersed in the shock and couldn't extricate himself, so Huo Zhenlin said: "It is said that he drank too much wine and drowned to death."

Huo Kun showed sad affection on his face, "Father's Day is sad, and the body is the most important."

Huo Zhenlin felt pain in his heart, thinking of Huo Kaize's lively appearance around him in the past, his old eyes turned red, he sighed, and then said again, "I heard that your people were by your fifth brother's side a while ago Appear."

Huo Kun didn't hide anything, and said truthfully: "Yes. I told my father about it."

"My fifth brother didn't recuperate well, so he ran out of the hospital. My father was worried about his health, so he sent someone to find him. I happened to find him near my residence, so I asked my people to take him away. He wanted to send him back to the hospital, but Fifth Brother ran away halfway."

"The fifth brother is not in good health yet. I was worried about something wrong, so I asked someone to find the fifth brother. Later, my people found the fifth brother and found that the fifth brother had returned to one of his residences. Later, Aunt Han went to take care of the fifth brother. Brother, I will let people withdraw."

Huo Zhenlin had heard Huo Kun mention this matter, and Huo Kun's remarks were not problematic, they were reasonable.

It's just that Huo Kaize's accident must first make people suspect Huo Kun as the heir, because Huo Kaize is the person who almost became the heir and has not given up his position as the heir. Huo Kun, the new heir, is the most threatening person.

Secondly, others will suspect that Huo Kaize has offended people, such as Huo Kaijie and Huo Kaixuan.

Huo Zhenlin's old eyes were shrewd and calculating, staring at Huo Kun's face as if he was weighing something, before he said for a moment: "I see."

Huo Kun looked at Huo Zhenlin, his heart suddenly moved, a bold idea came up, Huo Kun subconsciously clenched his hand, and said: "Father has doubts about the death of Fifth Brother, do you need me to send someone to investigate?"

What he said was ridiculously overconfident.Since Huo Zhenlin suspected that there was something wrong with Huo Kaize's death, even if he had already sent his own people to investigate, why should he say it here?

His words clearly meant something else.

Huo Zhen has been immersed in Vanity Fair all his life, so he can't see Huo Kun's thoughts.

Huo Zhenlin shot at Huo Kun with sharp eyes, completely unimaginable that a paralyzed old man has such a sharp and plump spirit.

Huo Kun stared at him neither humble nor overbearing. In fact, he was under a mountain of pressure. He knew that he should avoid suspicion now, instead of going into the muddy water by himself.

But Hawkun was unwilling.First of all, he can't trust others, and if someone deliberately framed him during the investigation, he would have no power to fight back if he avoided suspicion and didn't intervene; if he did it himself, he still had a way to deal with it.Secondly, he was testing Huo Zhenlin.To test how much weight he, the heir, has in Huo Zhenlin's heart, to test whether Huo Zhenlin is willing to let him come to a conclusion on this matter when he doubts himself?If Huo Zhenlin disagrees, Huo Kun will know that being the heir is much more difficult than he imagined. If Huo Zhenlin agrees, then Huo Kun can let go of half of his heart.

But if you check it yourself, why not take a risk?If there is a murderer, it's okay, Huo Kun's suspicion can be cleared, but if there is no murderer, Huo Kaize himself is unlucky, then Huo Kun's meddling in this matter will be a finishing touch, and it will be even more difficult to clear his suspicion.

But after considering the pros and cons, Huo Kun asked without hesitation.

Huo Zhenlin stared at Huo Kun for a moment, calculating quickly in his mind, and finally when Huo Kun's sweat was about to drop, Huo Zhenlin finally said, "Since you are willing, then go and check. "

The big stone in Huo Kun's heart fell to the ground suddenly, and he breathed a sigh of relief, no matter whether Huo Zhenlin believed that Huo Kaize's death had nothing to do with him, Huo Zhenlin was willing to let others believe that Huo Kaize's death had nothing to do with the heir.

"I will live up to my father's trust."

After saying this, Huo Zhenlin said: "I'm tired, you can stay and talk to Madam."

After speaking, the servant pushed Huo Zhenlin back to the room.

After closing the door, Huo Zhenlin's confidant whispered, "Does the master trust the young master?"

Huo Zhenlin opened his eyes, his eyes were clear and cold, he snorted coldly, "I believe it is of no use, the key is to see if he has the ability to make outsiders believe him."

Regardless of whether he did it or not, he is willing to give Huo Kun this chance, it all depends on whether he can clear up his suspicion and convince outsiders.

This is a test of Huo Kun's ability, and the second is to give Huo Kun a clear name, so he can sacrifice the truth about the death of a dead son.

Perhaps in Huo Zhenlin's heart, compared with the existing things, the truth of a son's death is not worth a penny, not worth caring about.

After Huo Zhenlin left, the old lady, Huo Kun, and the butler were left in the room.

"Ma'am," Huo Kun said, "Can I ask you something?"

The old lady raised her eyelids lightly, her voice was still as gentle as ever, "Since your father agrees, you can do it. It's just that you have to understand that your brothers are not as easy-talking as your father."

"I understand."

Father is easy to talk?Huo Kun could not hold back the corner of his mouth and sneered.

The old lady lingered on the corner of Huo Kun's mouth for a second, then closed her eyes again, "It's all right, you can rest by yourself."

After Huo Kun, Huo Kaixuan, Huo Kaijie and other brothers were called to the house for questioning, but they couldn't stop as to the result.

Since Huo Kun took over this trouble, he had to take care of it, and he was also curious about what happened to Huo Kaize's death.

Huo Kun first sent people to the police station and various news newspapers to block the news. The sooner the outside world knows about this matter, the better for him. Rumors may also point to him.

Afterwards, Huo Kun sent two more teams, one with himself to the police station to learn about the progress of the case, and the other to search for clues in private.

After the preliminary judgment of the forensic doctor, the police determined that Huo Kaize's death time was around [-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m.

It is a pity that the surveillance at the scene of the crime was destroyed just three days ago, that is to say, there is no way to know from the surveillance whether Huo Kaize's death was accidental.

"The police retrieved undamaged surveillance cameras near the crime scene, and found that there were suspected to be about 13 people who passed by the crime scene that night, and they are still comparing the identities of these 13 people."

Huo Kun said: "Send me the photos of these thirteen people."

The assistant responded, and after a while took the photos for information.

These photos are all taken from video screenshots. There is only one blurry figure, and at night, the light is dim, which adds a lot of difficulty to the identification work.

The screenshots in the picture are relatively clear photos, and they will look better.

Huo Kun's eyes slid across the thirteen video screenshots. He didn't expect to gain anything, but when Huo Kun's eyes fell on the twelve photos here, his eyes stopped.

In the first and second photos, there is a figure of a woman, of medium build, wearing dark clothes and carrying a black bag in her hand, walking towards the scene of Huo Kaize's incident.

Huo Kun looked at the figure of this person. Although there was only one figure from the back, he always felt familiar, but it was always so small that he couldn't remember it.

"Send me the video of this person."

The secretary went to find the video answer, and handed the tablet in his hand to Huo Kun.

Huo Kun repeatedly clicked on the video to see how the woman was walking, and the sense of familiarity became stronger and stronger. Where did he see it...

At this moment, Huo Kun's phone vibrated suddenly. It was Jiang Xuecheng who sent a WeChat message, asking him how he was doing. Huo Kun glanced at Jiang Xuecheng's WeChat message reminder, and he was enlightened. He remembered that this made him feel familiar. The figure from the back was Jiang Xuecheng's titular stepmother - He Manxiang.

Wanting to understand the identity of this woman, Huo Kun gradually frowned, as if he had grasped some trick to solve the problem, he pointed to He Manxiang's photo and said: "Check this woman, she is the mother of Huo Kaize's girlfriend Jiang Yuwei, who suddenly There is definitely something wrong with appearing next to Huo Kaize's residence. I have a hunch that Huo Kaize's death must have something to do with her."

Huo Kun hadn't seen Jiang Xuecheng for a few days, but this night the case had some clues, so he took the time to come back.

Jiang Xuecheng hadn't seen Huo Kun for many days. Although he didn't say anything, he really missed him a little. Although he often kept in touch with the mobile phone, it was different from seeing a real person. For a moment, the eyebrows and eyes were stained with smiles, "Why are you here? Has the investigation progressed?"

Huo Kun nodded, and also smiled: "Forget it."

"What's going on?" Jiang Xuecheng asked.

"I told my brother before that I found traces of He Manxiang near the scene of the crime, so I sent someone to check on He Manxiang, and only then did I know that Jiang Yuwei had a mental problem."

Jiang Xuecheng nodded, "After you said that, I specifically asked the old man at home. He said that he was huddled in the house all day and refused to go out. He was suspicious. He always felt that someone was watching her, and he always said that Huo Kaize was going to kill her." she."

"But if you suspect that He Manxiang killed Huo Kaize because of this, I don't believe it." Jiang Xuecheng shook his head with some disapproval, and said, "Although I hate this woman very much, after fighting for so many years, I have some understanding of her methods. It's not her style, she's very discreet."

Huo Kun said: "She wouldn't do it in a rational situation, but what if she was emotional? She might not plan to kill Huo Kaize, but if she had the chance, would she push it by accident?"

Jiang Xuecheng didn't speak, because of special circumstances, at the moment of making a decision, anything could happen.

"I asked people to investigate He Manxiang, and at the same time I asked people to go to the place where the incident happened to see if there are any witnesses or clues. Unfortunately..." Huo Kun shook his head and said: "I don't know if He Manxiang is too cautious or just lucky, There were no witnesses either nearby or on the other side of the river, let alone surveillance video.”

Jiang Xuecheng said: "With He Manxiang's prudence, it may be difficult to find evidence."

Huo Kun said: "This morning, the police passed He Manxiang's statement. He Manxiang performed perfectly, and there was no flaw in her speech. She said that Huo Kaize had indeed made an appointment with Jiang Yuwei. She was worried about her daughter's condition and went for her daughter. Unfortunately, Huo Kaize might have died when she went. Killed, because she didn't see anyone. Moreover, the reason why she went to see Huo Kaize that day was a text message from Huo Kaize."

Jiang Xuecheng frowned, "Didn't Huo Kaize get drunk every day and lose his temper? Still thinking about entanglement with Jiang Yuwei's mother and son?"

How can a person who has been so decadent that he only drinks and sleeps have the energy and ambition to take revenge on others?

This is so unreasonable.

Huo Kun said: "It is indeed unreasonable, but it is the fact."

Jiang Xuecheng shook his head, "The development of this matter, up to Huo Kaize's death, is too weird."

"indeed."

"Except for He Manxiang, other passers-by and police officers have also questioned them one by one, and they all said that they have never seen Huo Kaize."

"Passers-by have no motive, but He Manxiang who has a motive has no evidence." Jiang Xuecheng shook his head and said, "Now, whether He Manxiang killed Huo Kaize or not, I'm afraid only she knows. It's just a suspicion on you..."

It's just that Jiang Xuecheng is a little worried about Huo Kun. Huo Kun received this matter from Huo Zhenlin, if he can't find out clearly, then there is no way to remove the suspicion.

Huo Kun's heart warmed up, and he said: "Brother, don't worry, even if I don't check myself, I can't get rid of this suspicion. And..."

Huo Kun said with a smile: "And knowing whether He Manxiang killed anyone or not, I probably don't know that it was He Manxiang herself..."

"Oh?"

Jiang Xuecheng raised his eyebrows, "How do you say?"

"And He Manxiang's driving recorder."

Huo Kun said: "I have seen several other surveillance cameras that have not been damaged at the incident site, and found that the car that He Manxiang was driving was facing the incident site, and perhaps because she got out of the car in a hurry, her car did not turn off, that is, Said her dash cam was still working.

Jiang Xuecheng was overjoyed, and said with a smile, "All the cars of Jiang's family are equipped with driving recorders with video recording functions."

"It just depends on whether He Manxiang expected this."

The author has something to say: enmmmm... I don't know what's going on, anyway, this article will kill many people...

Two in one again today.
