1304 The He Family's Old Case

Qiao Xi looked at the couple in front of the stage and could not help but sigh in her heart. What a loving couple. Unfortunately, everything was just on the surface.

Seeing that Qiao Xi was silent, Gu Zheng asked again, Xi Xi, do you know how many wives He Weinian has had?

Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment and replied tentatively, Madam He is a mistress?

Among the noble families of high society, it was very common for mistresses to rise to power. Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng's families both had such incidents, but the He family was different.

Madam He is He Weinian's second wife. Two years after He Weinian's ex-wife died, Madam He married He Weinian and gave birth to He Tingchen and He Wenxian.

Qiao Xi calculated carefully. He Tingchen is 25 years old this year. Madam He married He Weinian 26 years ago. In other words, He Weinian's ex-wife died 28 years ago.

Gu Zheng nodded and continued, He Weinian's love life is impeccable. He didn't have an affair and only married his second wife after his first wife's death. In everyone's eyes, He Weinian has always been a gentle, respectful, and humble man. Hence, everyone naturally thinks that He Weinian came from a noble family and received higher education since he was young, but actually

Qiao Xi was instantly interested.

Gu Zheng said calmly, Actually, he's not from a noble family at all. He's just from an ordinary family, but his ex-wife was the daughter of a noble family. He has tried his best to cover up this matter, but I still found some clues.

Qiao Xi raised her eyes to look at Madam He. Looking at how loving He Weinian and Madam He are, I thought Madam He was the first wife. I didn't expect He Weinian to be married a second time.

He Weinian's ex-wife also gave birth to a son and a daughter, but during one trip, the three of them got into a car accident. The car fell off the cliff, and the three of them died on the spot. Later on, the police confirmed that it was just an accident. Xi Xi, if you want to know the details of this matter, go ask Mr. Liang.

Teacher? Qiao Xi asked.

Yes, Mr. Liang should know what happened back then. He Weinian's wife and children died in a car accident. What's even stranger is that a few years before that car accident, He Weinian's in-laws accidentally fell while climbing a mountain. The two of them died on the spot. It was also an accident.

He Weinian's ex-wife was an only child. After his in-laws passed away, all their assets were inherited by his ex-wife. After that, his wife and children died in a car accident, so he ended up inheriting those assets.

The more Qiao Xi thought about it, the more terrifying she found it. She clenched her fists. In other words, the He family's current status and money were all derived from He Weinian's ex-wife?

That's right.

Qiao Xi frowned. To be able to support such an enormous He family, the inheritance left behind by his ex-wife must be very generous. He Weinian is the greatest beneficiary from those two accidents, but no one ever suspected him?

Gu Zheng shook his head. No one will suspect anything because he and his ex-wife were very close. The two of them often attended banquets together. He Weinian doted on his ex-wife very much and was very meticulous. The couple was very loving. Moreover, his biological children also died in the car accident. Everyone thought that even if he wanted to harm his wife, he wouldn't have killed his children.

After the accident, He Weinian was heartbroken and immediately told the police that it could be murder. Otherwise, why would the car suddenly lose control? He asked the police to open a case for investigation and refused to believe that it was just an accident.

In the eyes of outsiders, he had always been gentle and kind. After his wife and children died, he cried bitterly every day and fell sick for a few days. His hair turned white from worry, and he even fainted from crying at the funeral. After that, He Weinian still could not accept it, so he abandoned the company and helped the police investigate. After doing this for half a month, he finally confirmed that it was indeed a murder case.

It was just that the suspect in this murder case wasn't He Weinian but his cousin. His cousin had always been jealous that He Weinian married a beautiful and rich woman. They were a loving couple and had two children, so He Weinian seemed to be a winner in life while his cousin was useless. Out of jealousy, he caused the deaths of He Weinian's wife and children. He wanted He Weinian to live in pain for the rest of his life.

When Qiao Xi heard these words, she kept having the feeling that this story was a little far-fetched. Was it because He Weinian's cousin was jealous of He Weinian that he caused the death of his wife and children?

A trace of mockery and coldness appeared on Gu Zheng's face. After that, He Weinian asked for the death penalty as the victim's family member. He cried bitterly in court, causing everyone to be moved. Because of this, he offended his family and cut off all contact with his parents and relatives.
