    ?

    After listening to Tang Mochuan's narration, I realized that there was such a twists and turns in Xia Yimeng's husband's family.  However, the so-called accidental fire in this house meant that the original spouse died.  The fire was not big, and the housekeeper and several servants quickly extinguished it at home.  Mrs. Lu's family was not saved and was burned to a scorched corpse.

    Afterwards, some people also questioned whether Xia Yimeng deliberately set fire to kill people or something, but his godfather and fiance, Mr. Lu, refused to let the investigation continue, but said that his wife died accidentally in an accident and held a beautiful funeral.  The wife's natal family asked the police to investigate the case, but only Mrs. Tang's mother witnessed Xia Yimeng entering the wife's room.  But at that time, she was only a little girl about ten years old. After this accident, her spirit had been stimulated, and it was impossible for her to testify in court.  Even if it is a testimony, at the age of ten, whether the judge can trust the testimony is in doubt.

    After this matter subsided, Xia Yi lived together with Mr. Lu in a stately manner.  Of course, she later filmed various Republic of China movies and TV series, which were also invested by Mr. Lu, and she soon became popular.  After high-priced packaging, Xia Yimeng changed from a popular dancing lady to a good lady, and has since become popular all over the country.  Later, she got engaged to Mr. Lu, but in order not to affect her acting career for the time being, she and Mr. Lu set a low-key wedding photo and went to a small photo studio to take pictures.  However, Master Lu was absent that day, so Xia Yimeng went first.  So there was the black and white wedding photo in the photo studio. It should be that the owner of the photo studio knew Mr. Lu, so he took this photo as a living sign.  After all, it was a female celebrity who came to take wedding photos.

    After the two were ready to get married, several sons and daughters of the Lu family objected to no effect, and they also left home to live alone.  The eldest son of the Lu family joined the army and later became an officer of the Kuomintang, but he died in battle during the Anti-Japanese War and died young; the second young lady of the Lu family married a poor teacher and moved away with her family, leaving Shanghai without knowing where she went  where.  The youngest lady of the Lu family was sent to the United States for treatment because of being stimulated.  This went on for many years, and after Master Lu died, she stayed in the United States to settle down and never returned home.  This is some unknown past of the Lu family and Xia Yimeng.

    After listening to this, and inferring from this information, I can almost guess where Xia Yimeng disappeared.  The murderer probably followed Xia Yimeng to the door of the photo studio, saw her enter the photo studio, and then ambushed outside.  Zhao Yu and I have been to the supernatural photo studio twice, so we are more familiar with the surroundings.  It was an old neighborhood with many small fork roads, making it easy to hide.  If the murderer had arrived at the place early, found a place to hide first, and then appeared later to arrest Xia Yimeng, this is very likely.  But when I thought about it again, it was not reliable.

    That place was considered a bustling area a few decades ago, so Xia Yimeng couldn't go there by himself in the middle of the night to take pictures, he should have gone there during the day.  But how could he be taken away by a person in broad daylight without being noticed by the pedestrians around him?  And then why was the first owner of the photo studio killed and locked up in the attic?

    Thinking of this, I think that the case that happened again after a few decades is likely to be closely related to the murderer at that time.  Otherwise, the details of the modus operandi will not be completely consistent.  If it's the same person who committed the crime I thought about it and thought it was a bit nonsense.  That person must have lived to be more than a hundred years old. What strength does an old man over a hundred years old have to kill people.  This Taoist secret technique of maintaining beauty is not something everyone knows, at least not so coincidentally, I have encountered it all.

    After I finished chatting with the old lady of the Tang family, I asked if I could take this diary back for use as physical evidence, and return it after the case is over.  The old lady readily agreed.  I figured that she hoped that this case would uncover Xia Yimeng's scandal and avenge her ancestors.

    After checking this clue, I took this diary and went back to Tianjin with Wu Dan and Zou Xiaonan.  The hypocrite Leng Zhuhua also came to Tianjin with me as an important witness.  Although he has nothing to do with the murder of the bride, I always feel that the Mu Qingxuan incident and Xia Yimeng back then are the fuse of the whole case.

    After arriving in Tianjin, I reported the clues I found to Ouyang Zhuan's family, and chatted with Zhao Yu to see what he had found.  Zhao Yu has not been idle for the past few days. He said that he checked all the information in the photo studio and did a lot of unannounced investigations with his colleagues from the city bureau. Only then did he get some clues about Xia Yimeng.  Through the reports of the year, various folk news, and our own speculations, we restored the ins and outs of the photo studio at that time.  It turned out that when Xia Yimeng came to Tianjin to film a romantic drama, it happened that a young man whom Mr. Lu knew opened a photo studio in Tianjin, so he introduced it to Xia Yimeng and asked her to try out a wedding dress. If she was satisfied, the two would meet together  Get up to this friend's photo studio to shoot.

    However, Xia Yimeng's whereabouts have always been known to the murderer. Perhaps the murderer followed her to the door of the photo studio, and somehow restrained Xia Yimeng and took her away.  But this process may have been seen by the owner of the photo studio, who remembered the murderer's face, so he was killed.  Because this time I went to??Find out the entanglement between Xia Yimeng and the Lu family, then the murderer is likely to be the person who hates Xia Yimeng, and it is likely to be the descendants of Mrs. Lu's children.

    However, among the three sons and daughters of the Lu family, the eldest son died, the whereabouts of the second daughter are unknown, and the third daughter has been abroad and never returned to China.  Then the murderer may be some relative of the second daughter.  After all, they all suspected Xia Yimeng of arson and murder.  So Zhao Yu and I started investigating the whereabouts of Miss Lu's second daughter.

    However, the results of the survey let us down a bit.  The second lady of the Lu family passed away very early, leaving behind only one son, who is also in his sixties and is a visiting professor at the Central University for Nationalities.  Zhao Yu and I took a car to find Professor Cen, but the moment we saw the old man, we immediately rejected the possibility that he was the murderer.

    This old man has inconvenient legs and feet, and now he is making wheelchairs.  During the conversation, I found that although the old man has a clear mind and a good spirit, it is really inconvenient to move. He has to be supported by an assistant when he gets up and sits down. He basically relies on a wheelchair and crutches to walk.  When I mentioned Xia Yimeng to Zhao Yu, Professor Cen didn't know anything about it, and said in surprise: "I thought my grandfather was just a peddler who made a living, but he was also a wealthy businessman in the Republic of China?"

    "Don't you even know this?" I looked at Zhao Yu in surprise, and stared at the thin old man carefully.

    Professor Cen shook his head and said, "I really don't know. My mother passed away very early. I was only twelve years old at that time. My father was a teacher and died of illness a few years ago. My father didn't mention the matter of my grandfather very much. He only said  He passed away. My mother mentioned it occasionally when I was a child, saying that he was a street peddler, but never said that he was a rich businessman."

    I looked at his expression carefully, he didn't seem to be lying, so I was stunned for a while.  It seems that this Second Miss Lu was very worried about her mother's death back then, and felt that it was all her father's fault, so she never went home again, and never mentioned to her son about his grandpa.  It seems that the "murderer" suspect can be completely ruled out.

    Professor Cen took the opportunity to ask about the Lu family, so I told him about his cousin in the United States.  When Professor Cen heard it, he was filled with emotion, saying that he had lived for more than 60 years before he knew the inside story of his family, and only then did he know that he had other relatives living in the world.  So I gave him Mrs. Tang's phone number and said goodbye to the professor.

    Zhao Yu and I went out with a wry smile, thinking that this investigation would be a good thing, and it would become an annual family drama.  The long-lost brothers and sisters are separated by oceans, but they meet again after 50 or 60 years because of a strange case.  It sounds like Qiong Yao.

    I asked Zhao Yu, "What should I do? It seems that all the Lu family who have a grudge against Xia Yimeng can be ruled out. Those who don't know the truth, those who are abroad, and those who are dead. It seems that no one will have this opportunity and  Ability to take revenge."

    Zhao Yu stood in the same place, pondered: "When I went out just now, I carefully recalled your retelling of the arson case back then. If the Lu family can rule it out, then there is another person who may be suspected."

    "Who else?" I asked suspiciously.

    "The housekeeper of the Lu family." Zhao Yu said.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
