Chapter 658: How else can you explain it?
"That is not what I meant," Xiao Guanjia said hypocritically. "I am just reporting the surveillance content I saw to the Master and Madam truthfully."
"Good! So the two of you entered Jinbai's room yesterday. You must have held a grudge against Jinbai and killed him when he was off guard!"
Yan Ershen immediately cried out: "My poor husband, actually killed by his own brother! Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this!"
"That is complete nonsense! What does Second Uncle's death have to do with us? Second Aunt, if you keep talking nonsense, I have the right to sue you for slander!" Yan Qingxue retorted sternly.
Usually, Yan Ershen would frame her for trivial matters, and she would let it go, but now, to pin such a major crime as murder on her was simply going too far!
"Mom, don't talk nonsense. I believe Big Uncle and Sister Qing Xue couldn't have done such a heartless thing." Yan Hongyu pulled Yan Ershen's arm and said with a serious expression.
"Hongyu, what time is it, and you're still speaking for outsiders!" Yan Ershen cried and made a scene relentlessly. "Your father was always kind and never offended anyone. If you want to talk about who he had a grudge with, it's only your Big Uncle's family!"
"Because of that incident back then, your Big Uncle held a grudge against your father, and Yan Qingxue never gave us a good look either. In my opinion, they are the ones with the most motive to kill your father!"
"And before your father died, they were the only two people who met with him. If they didn't kill him, could it be suicide?"
"Enough!" Yan Family Patriarch reprimanded sternly. "Stop talking nonsense!"
"Dad, Jinbai died too tragically. You must get justice for him!" Yan Ershen continued to wail relentlessly.
Yan Family Patriarch had a headache from her noise. He rubbed his temples hard and took a deep breath before turning to look at Yan Jinsong and Yan Qingxue, who were standing on the other side.
"Eldest, Qing Xue, the two of you explain exactly what happened last night!"
"Dad, how could I possibly harm Jinbai?" Yan Jinsong quickly explained to Yan Family Patriarch. "Yesterday, Jinbai called and said he had something important to discuss with me, asking me to return to the old mansion immediately. At that time, Qing Xue happened to be by my side, so I asked her to drive
me over."
"But when we came to find Jinbai yesterday, he was drinking. He wouldn't say what the matter was when asked. Finally, seeing that he was too drunk, we wanted him to rest well and talk about whatever it was after he sobered up, so Qing Xue and I left. By the way, before leaving, I even went to the bathroom in his room to prepare a hot towel for him to sober up."
"He said he had something important to discuss with you?" Yan Family Patriarch grasped the key point. "Then did he reveal to you what it was when you came yesterday?"
"He was only focused on drinking and didn't say anything," Yan Jinsong answered truthfully. "I felt that Jinbai must have encountered something, and he seemed to be in a very bad mood. When he saw me, he was only focused on drinking his sorrows away..."
"That is complete nonsense!" Hearing Yan Jinsong's explanation, Yan Ershen jumped up again and pointed at him, shouting, "My husband had no worries recently, so why would he drink his sorrows away? I think the two of you colluded temporarily, wanting to clear your names, and fabricated this reason!"
Hearing this, Yan Qingxue retorted coldly: "Second Uncle drank a lot of alcohol yesterday. Even if he is dead, the alcohol concentration in his body can be detected. Is it necessary for us to tell such a lie that can be easily debunked?"
"Then... that means you deliberately got him drunk to confuse the issue, and then killed him while he was unconscious!" Yan Ershen was still aggressive.
"Wanwan, I can understand your feelings, but without evidence, you are not allowed to talk nonsense and slander your Big Brother!"
Old Yan Lao Taitai was also a bit angry.
"Jinsong is my child. I watched him grow up. Even if he was foolish and did wrong things before, I don't believe he would murder his own brother."
"What exactly happened, everyone can see by looking at the surveillance footage." Seeing the tense atmosphere in the living room, Xiao Guanjia spoke at the right time. "Master, Madam, please watch the surveillance footage first."
"Bring a laptop over," Yan Family Patriarch ordered.
"Yes."
Xiao Guanjia immediately ran to get the laptop and plugged the USB drive containing the copied video into it.
The surveillance footage showed that Yan Jinsong and Yan Qingxue had indeed entered Yan Jinbai's
room, and it was already night.
Yan Ershen pointed at their figures and said: "If there really was something, there's no reason to come and talk in the middle of the night. I think the two of them have ulterior motives!"
"Shut up!" Yan Family Patriarch glared at her.
Yan Ershen shut up resentfully, but her red, teary eyes darted around, scanning the screen back and forth.
After Yan Jinsong and Yan Qingxue entered the room, Xiao Guanjia pressed the fast-forward button on the video playback.
Everyone saw that the two of them stayed in Yan Jinbai's room for less than an hour, and then they came out of the room one after another and walked toward the stairs.
These completely matched the situation explained by Yan Jinsong and Yan Qingxue, and there were no problems.
But about ten minutes later, two figures appeared at the door of Yan Jinbai's room again.
This time, the surveillance footage did not capture their faces, but whether it was their clothing, hairstyle, or height, they were exactly the same as Yan Jinsong and Yan Qingxue.
In the video, the two entered Yan Jinbai's room sneakily, and not long after, they came out of the room one after another. At this time, everyone watching the surveillance footage discovered that these two people were holding blood-stained fruit knives.
Seeing this scene, Yan Ershen wailed again.
"I knew it! The two of you conspired to kill my husband!"
"Husband! You were actually killed by your own brother and niece. You truly died with your eyes wide open!" She rushed toward Yan Jinsong and Yan Qingxue while crying.
"Second Young Madam, please calm down," Xiao Guanjia hurriedly blocked her.
"Yan Jinsong! Yan Qingxue!"
Yan Family Patriarch pointed at the surveillance screen in disbelief, his chest heaving violently.
"How else can you explain it?"
"What a sin... what a sin!" Old Yan Lao Taitai's voice choked, and as soon as she spoke, she fainted.
"Old Madam!" Xiao Guanjia stepped forward again to support Old Yan Lao Taitai.
The scene was chaotic for a moment.
Yan Jinsong stood frozen in place, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning.
Although the two figures in the surveillance footage were dressed exactly like them, he was certain that the two people captured were definitely not himself and Yan Qingxue. ===== CHAPTER 659 =====
