Chapter 1142 - 1141: The Worst Has Come

Chapter 1142: Chapter 1141: The Worst Has Come

When initially being ostracized by the ancient family, everyone gathered in Beisitian’s room, and everyone knew that Zhou Xinghai had been rebuked out of Beisitian’s room. It can be said that Zhou Xinghai and Beisitian indeed had a grudge, but it was not to the extent of causing death.

However, human nature is unpredictable.

Mo Qinghe chuckled, "Just after the falling out, someone died. If Doctor Bei claims there’s no suspicion, it’s indeed hard to justify."

Fei Yunqing frowned and said, "You can’t say that."

Mo Qinghe laughed softly, "No matter how you say it, it doesn’t make sense."

Not far away, You Hong’an asked Zhou Shengjie quietly, "Should we investigate the case first or handle the body first?"

His words reminded Zhou Shengjie that this is not the time to find the culprit; moreover, whether there’s a murderer is still uncertain. He only said that earlier due to agitation.

"Please help me carry Uncle back." Zhou Shengjie was deeply saddened and terrified at the same time. Zhou Xinghai was the leader of the Zhou Family this time, his father Zhou Xingyun’s elder brother, and the family’s only Quasi Great Power. His death dealt a huge blow to the Zhou Family.

The Zhou Family was originally a candidate family like the Wen Family. After the Wen Family soared, the Zhou Family started to make moves, hoping to seize an opportunity this time. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xinghai died.

The possibility of the Zhou Family becoming a prominent family instantly vanished into thin air.

A death in the modern family simultaneously shook the ancient family; however, their expressions were solemn without appearing surprised. Clearly, they had anticipated it.

Yet, regarding the attitude of the ancient family, the modern family was cautious. Before the cause of Zhou Xinghai’s death is clarified, the ancient family is still implicated!

This cause of death is not referring to Zhou Xinghai’s death, but rather how he fell into the lake.

Those present were all outstanding doctors, and the cause of Zhou Xinghai’s death could be determined almost at a glance!

Someone suggested monitoring the people from the Qingyu School, but few supported this proposal because they themselves were still prisoners. What right do they have to imprison others?

The castle has an underground freezer, which is unmanaged now, leaving only servants who understand nothing. Zhou Shengjie simply put Zhou Xinghai’s body into the underground freezer, planning to take it back to the family for burial when they leave.

The shadow of death loomed in everyone’s hearts; even for release, no one could laugh anymore.

After all, those present were only doctors, not skilled in solving cases. Zhou Shengjie found many people from after 4 o’clock that day, all claiming they didn’t see Zhou Xinghai, whereas Beisitian had enough alibi at that time to clear the suspicion, which made some people unhappy.

"Maybe he accidentally fell." Fei Yunqing said.

This explanation is closer to reality and more acceptable to the crowd. If it was just an accident, the death incident would merely be an accident. If not, things become complicated.

Zhou Shengjie didn’t think so, "My uncle isn’t a hundred years old; he’s very healthy and strong. It’s impossible for such a thing to happen!"

He firmly believed his uncle was murdered, and since Beisitian had cleared the suspicion, only the ancient family was left. Yet now he couldn’t contact the family, and he and the other uncle couldn’t handle it.

Beisitian stayed in the room, not allowing Luo Yirui to go out during this time, with only Black Coal Ball investigating outside.

She sighed and said to Wei Zhongxun, "The thing I feared most might be coming."
