"A button? People come and go there. Even if a button was dropped, it doesn't prove anything," another policeman said. "I think this was simply an accidental fall. There's no need to investigate further. Didn't everyone say that the deceased had a cold on the day of the accident? And he took cold medicine and slept through the night. It's most likely that he accidentally slipped at night."
Lin Xuefei's tense expression relaxed a bit.
Since the policemen found nothing, they led their men out.
"It's strange. Why does that Ms. Wei insist that it was a murder? She has no evidence but keeps talking nonsense."
"What did you say? It was my mom who reported the case," Lin Xuefei felt as if struck by lightning, completely stunned. She had asked Wei Hongmei to claim the compensation, but Wei Hongmei had caused so much trouble.
She was really exasperating!
After everyone had left, Lin Xuefei returned to her room. She couldn't help but take out her pajamas and found that one of the buttons was missing.
In Lin Yan's room, Xia Weilan was sitting in front of the desk, looking through Lin Yan's exercise books. The writing was so neat that it looked like it was printed. It was very beautiful. And he was very smart, getting many questions right.
Presumably, he had been preparing seriously for the mid - term exam.
Xia Weilan's hand trembled. She couldn't help but put down the exercise book, curl her legs up, and hug her head as she cried. Why did Lin Yan die so suddenly? If she had sent Lin Yan to the hospital, maybe he wouldn't have been left unattended and fallen down the stairs.
Mo Beichen walked to her side and silently patted her on the back, staying with her. Suddenly, his eyes fell on the pills on Lin Yan's desk.
After Xia Weilan had calmed down a bit, Mo Beichen picked up the bottle of pills and looked at it. His deep eyes revealed no emotion. He suddenly asked, "I remember we didn't prepare calcium tablets for him. Where did these come from?"
Xia Weilan glanced at it. "Maybe he bought them himself."
But Mo Beichen didn't think so. "Wasn't Lin Yan suddenly in a bad state of mind?"
Mo Beichen didn't find anything after checking himself. Suddenly, he called the butler over and asked him to take the calcium tablets for a chemical analysis.
Seeing Mo Beichen's series of actions, Xia Weilan also became alert. "This bottle of pills was brought back by Lin Yan on the day Lin Xuefei went to pick him up."
The two looked at each other, and a thought flashed through their minds. Could it be that Lin Xuefei bought them? Otherwise, how could Lin Yan have had the chance to buy them at the pharmacy while at school?
Downstairs, Lin Xuefei secretly hid her pajamas in her bag and asked the maid to push her out quickly. But just as she left the hall, she saw Mo Beichen waiting there, and there was a stranger beside him.
"Where are you going?" Mo Beichen stood in front of her, and the maid immediately stopped.
Lin Xuefei was a bit anxious. "Brother - in - law, I'm going to see my mom. I don't know how she is now. I'm afraid she might do something stupid."
Lin Xuefei tried to use Wei Hongmei's pitiful situation to soften Mo Beichen's heart so that she could leave.
But Mo Beichen wasn't moved. He suddenly said, "Doctor Lin, this is the patient I told you about. Please take a look at her."
Mo Beichen didn't give her any chance to escape. His deep eyes were like searchlights, falling on Lin Xuefei's legs. It was as if he could burn her legs, making Lin Xuefei extremely uncomfortable.
"Next, next time. I'm busy," Lin Xuefei kept winking at the maid, but the maid just stared straight ahead and ignored her.
If Mo Beichen didn't say anything, the maid wouldn't dare to take Lin Xuefei away.
Lin Xuefei felt extremely irritable and tried to push the wheelchair out by herself.
But the next second, Doctor Lin stepped forward, looking serious. "I'll just take a simple look. It won't take much time."
The next second, Doctor Lin really squatted down and was about to check Lin Xuefei's foot injury.
"Wow, wow, wow!" Lin Xuefei suddenly started shouting and pushed Doctor Lin away like a madwoman. She murmured to herself, "I don't want to take it. I don't want to take it. Take it all away. Take it away from me."
Doctor Lin wasn't prepared and was directly pushed to the ground by Lin Xuefei. She looked at Lin Xuefei in surprise.
Mo Beichen squinted his eyes and just watched Lin Xuefei go crazy without saying a word. But Lin Xuefei didn't seem to get tired. After going crazy for a while, she started staring blankly at the sky and just wouldn't let Doctor Lin get close.
"The patient is in no condition to be examined now. I think we should wait until her mood improves," Doctor Lin said helplessly to Lin Xuefei. Her sharp fingernails were like claws. She was afraid that instead of examining the patient, she might get scratched.
"Take her in to rest," Mo Beichen ordered in a deep voice.
The maid immediately pushed Lin Xuefei out.
But Lin Xuefei's backpack fell to the ground and she didn't have time to pick it up.
Mo Beichen looked at the backpack, then suddenly bent down and picked it up. It was quite thick. He wondered what was inside.
As soon as Lin Xuefei entered the room, she knew something was wrong. She had forgotten her backpack. But if she went back now, it would be too obvious.
Gritting her teeth, Lin Xuefei still thought she must get it back.
When Lin Xuefei asked the maid to push her out, the maid was shocked. Why had Lin Xuefei suddenly recovered?
"Brother - in - law, that's my bag," Lin Xuefei looked at him blankly. "Why is my bag here? Didn't I want to go out?"
Fortunately, there was only Mo Beichen in the hall at the moment, and Doctor Lin had already left. So Lin Xuefei wasn't afraid and went over to take her bag.
"Recovered so quickly?" Mo Beichen looked at her meaningfully.
Lin Xuefei could only force a smile and pretend to be stupid, acting as if she didn't understand.
Under Mo Beichen's dark and piercing gaze, Lin Xuefei returned to her room reluctantly. She didn't mention going out for the time being.
The next day, two big white lanterns were hanging at the entrance of the villa. The whole mansion was quiet, and everyone looked depressed.
A car slowly drove towards the villa. Before they reached the villa, Lin Yuyan couldn't wait to say, "Do you think our daughter - in - law will be shocked if we suddenly show up? But I haven't been back for a long time. I can't wait to see what our daughter - in - law is like. I heard she's only 19. I wonder what her personality is like."
Compared to Lin Yuyan's chattering, Mo Guxuan was much more steady. He said calmly, "I said we should wait for Beichen to introduce her to us. This is a bit too hasty."
"How can it be hasty? I'm her mother - in - law. She won't blame me. And we're just going to take a look. We won't make things difficult for her." Lin Yuyan exuded an air of ladylike elegance, but her personality was a bit impatient, perhaps because she was really too curious.
When the car reached the entrance, the two people in the car both looked out and were stunned. Why was there a funeral in the villa?
Lin Yuyan and Mo Guxuan both felt a sense of unease. This had always been Mo Beichen's place. If there was such a grand funeral, whose could it be if not the host's?
"Husband, don't tell me something happened to our Beichen..." Lin Yuyan grabbed Mo Guxuan's arm and looked nervously out of the window. When the car got closer, the driver opened the window.
Lin Yuyan frowned in distress and asked the guard, "What's going on? Why is there a funeral?"
Fortunately, the guard explained, "The young mistress's younger brother passed away."
"Phew!" Mo Guxuan and Lin Yuyan in the car all let out a sigh of relief. Lin Yuyan even reached out and patted her chest to calm her nerves. "Let's go in."
The funeral was being held in the back room. In the hall, as soon as Lin Yuyan and Mo Guxuan arrived, the butler greeted them. "Master, Mistress."
Lin Yuyan looked around and asked, "What's going on? Why is there a funeral at home?"
What Lin Yuyan wanted to ask was why the funeral of the daughter - in - law's younger brother was being held here.
Didn't her family care?
