This day was the day when Andy Lee and Chen Chuyao and Rebecca's cousin met. The meeting place was chosen in a quiet coffee shop not far from the scene.

Rebecca's cousin is about 45 years old. She has thick eyes and a well-proportioned and sturdy body, giving people a very reliable feeling. She has deep facial features and can be recognized as a Westerner at a glance.

"Master Andy, this is my cousin Lucy." Rebecca introduced: "This is the Master Andy who I often talk to you, and Miss Chen, the partner of Andy."

Lucy folded her hands in front of her and bowed to Andy Lee.

"Miss Lucy, please sit down!" Andy Lee said politely.

Rebecca and Lucy sat opposite Andy Lee and Chen Chuyao.

Andy Lee followed straight to the point and said, "Rebecca has told us your troubles, but she doesn't know much about many details, so I have to ask Miss Lucy to give us a detailed introduction."

"Thank you very much Mr. Andy for helping me!"

Lucy thanked sincerely, and could see Lucy's grateful gaze through the thick glasses.

Then Lucy began to tell the troubles she encountered.

Lucy started working as a maid for an 87-year-old man named Xie Zhijie two years ago. His work mainly focuses on taking care of the elderly's daily life and diet.

Because Xie Zhijie suffers from chronic lung disease and needs to inhale oxygen all the time, he must carry an oxygen cylinder with him. In addition, his body function has decreased and he is always in a wheelchair. In addition, the elderly only have Lucy, a maid and carer, so Lucy,

I stayed by the old man almost 24 hours a day.

Xie Zhijie has a son and a daughter, but they don’t live with the elderly. The eldest son runs a hotel. Due to poor management, he is unable to make ends meet for a long time. He often comes to borrow money from the elderly and barely maintains the normal operation of the hotel. Xie Zhijie always feels that his son is

He is incompetent and cowardly. Every time he comes to borrow money, he will scold the other party hard.

The youngest daughter married a doctor in her early years and became a full-time housewife. Later, she ended up with divorce because of her husband's cheating. After the divorce, the youngest daughter did not go out to work, but relied on the alimony of her ex-husband and the support of her father to make a living. The old man's family was in the family.

Many things are handled by the younger daughter, such as hiring caregivers, purchasing daily necessities, etc. The younger daughter is also very concerned about her father. Although she doesn't live together, she often comes to visit Xie Zhijie and learn about the old man's health from Lucy.

situation.

Because Xie Zhijie is an old-fashioned person, he always feels that after his daughter gets married, she is no longer a member of the Xie family. In addition, her daughter is unhappy in marriage and does not seek motivation, Xie Zhijie often scolds and complains to her younger daughter.

In addition, the old man also has a nephew, who is the only son of the old man's elder brother. Because the old man's elder brother passed away early, this nephew has been kept by the old man since he was a child.

Because my nephew knew that he was never Xie Zhijie's biological flesh and blood, when treating the elderly, he maintained appropriate care and filial piety, neither too close nor too distant. Xie Zhijie also provided much support to this nephew.

, but it does not have too much harshness towards your children. Most of the time, they always symbolically care about their nephew's life and work conditions, and the two parties get along well.

Due to the torture of chronic diseases, Xie Zhijie has an erratic temper and is not harmonious with the relationship between his family. Therefore, Xie Zhijie always looks cold and complaining about the world. Until Lucy comes to take care of Xie Zhijie, after the initial running-in,

Lucy gradually influenced the old man with her simplicity and enthusiasm, making the old man feel much happier. The two gradually became a couple who could talk to each other.

"Before the old man passed away, he told me more than once that if he died, someone must have murdered him!" Lucy said sadly, with sadness in his eyes.

Chen Chuyao looked at Lucy's reaction silently, feeling that her feelings for Xie Zhijie seemed to be more than ordinary master and servant.

"What is the basis for Mr. Xie Zhijie to say this?" Li Andy asked solemnly.

"The old man said that most of the time he had an argument with his family." Lucy introduced: "The old man often had an argument with his children, and often he would part in a bad mood. After a few quarrels, the old man would

I was very sad and angry about those murdered remarks to me."

"What is the reason for their quarrel?" Chen Chuyao asked.

Andy Lee nodded, saying that he was also concerned about this issue.

"I once heard the old man's son accusing the old man of giving the inheritance to his daughter and nephew, rather than leaving it all to his only son." Lucy recalled: "The old man's daughter would accuse the old man of choosing a husband for her and

Not a good man, she has made her very unfortunate.”

"Does the old man's nephew have any complaints about the old man?" asked Andy Lee.

"That's nothing. The two of them are so polite. They have never had a quarrel. Instead, they feel that there is less affection between them." Lucy continued.

"In other words, the children of the elderly have their own dissatisfaction with the elderly!" Lee Andy concluded.

"At present, these do not seem to constitute a crime motive!" Chen Chuyao also said: "Did the will made by the old man share the property to the three of them?"

"I don't know the specific situation about the will." Lucy shook her head and said, "I just heard that they mentioned it when they were arguing. It should be that the old man divided the property into three equally and left it to the three of them."

"Look at this point, the old man suddenly passed away without changing his will, and the distribution of the inheritance will not change much." Andy Lee analyzed: "Unless someone in the group is in a hurry to use the money!"

Andy Lee looked at Lucy and continued to ask: "Among them, is anyone in urgent need of money recently?"

"I don't know this!" Lucy shook her head and said.

Andy Lee and Chen Chuyao looked at each other and felt that the motive part needed to be investigated.

Andy Lee then asked, "What is the cause of the old man's death?"

"I heard from the doctor that the cause of death was organ failure caused by suffocation." Lucy said sadly: "That day, the old man said he felt a little sleepy, so I served him and lie down and fell asleep quickly. Not long after, the monitoring instruments were

I started calling the police, and in just a short while, the old man's heart rate and blood pressure dropped. I immediately contacted the doctor, the old man's children and nephew. The old man's daughter arrived first, and then the doctor arrived. Waiting for the old man's wife

When the son and nephew arrived, the old man had been declared dead by the doctor."

"What is the chronic disease the elderly suffer from?" Chen Chuyao asked.

"It's a pulmonary embolism!" Lucy said.

"Pulmonary embolism is indeed easy to cause death caused by suffocation!" Chen Chuyao nodded and said.

"If it is really suffocation caused by lung embolism, it will be natural death!" Andy Lee said with some confusion.

"Actually, the doctor said so!" Lucy said unwillingly: "But the old man's physical condition has been very stable recently, especially on the day of the incident, there has been no abnormality."

"If the cause of death is suffocation, usually, severe symptoms of dyspnea will occur, and the patient will suffer great pain before and after death!" Chen Chuyao said thoughtfully: "However, Miss Lucy described the situation, Xie Zhijie

The old man died peacefully in his sleep, which seems unreasonable."

When Lucy heard this, she immediately widened her eyes and stared at Chen Chuyao through the thick lenses and said, "Yes! I just think there is something strange about the old man's death! Someone must have murdered him!"

"Will it be some kind of drug that makes the elderly enter deep sleep and also cause suffocation?" Lee Andy analyzed.

"Is there any change in the medications I take on daily before the old man died?" Chen Chuyao asked.

"The daily medicines are prescribed by the elderly doctor, and they are purchased by his daughter. This has been like this for more than ten years." Lucy frowned and said, "I haven't found anything unusual recently!"

"Can someone change the medicine while you are not paying attention?" asked Andy Lee.

"The elderly's medicines are usually placed in the bedroom cabinet. If someone changes the medicine while the elderly and I are not in the bedroom, it is entirely possible!" Lucy became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she had already determined that someone had moved among the medicine.

Hands and feet.

"Can it be that the elderly have a problem with their oxygen cylinder? It leads to insufficient oxygen, causing the elderly to suffocate!" Andy Lee said another possibility.

"This won't happen!" Lucy immediately shook her head and said, "Because the old man's pulmonary embolism is very serious, as long as the oxygen in the oxygen cylinder is insufficient, it will immediately cause physical discomfort, and it is impossible to fall asleep peacefully. And

The doctor also checked the oxygen device at that time and found no problems.”

When Andy Lee heard this, he nodded slightly and said, "It seems that there may be problems with the medicine taken by the old man!"

"Miss Lucy, can we go to Mr. Xie Zhijie's house to take a look?" Chen Chuyao asked.

Lucy said in a little distress: "Now I am no longer a maid from the Xie family, so I can't enter the old man's room normally!"

Chen Chuyao then asked, "There are other means to enter there?"

"I heard that the old man's son and daughter were about to sell that house. If you pretend to buy that house, you should be able to enter there in the name of viewing the house." Lucy said.

"Okay! Then let's go and take a look now!" Andy Lee immediately stood up and said.

Chen Chuyao looked at the anxious Andy Li and stood up as well. At the same time, she was silently thinking in her heart that he would have to pay for that house again!

Lucy and Rebecca also stood up, and then the four of them left the cafe one after another.

Because the cafe is not far from Mr. Xie Zhijie's house, several people walked to their destination under Lucy's leadership.

"After crossing this street, you'll be there after a turn!"

Lucy pointed southwest and said as she walked.

Just as a few people were about to cross the road, the indicator lights on the sidewalk suddenly turned from green to red. Seeing this, Andy, Chen Chuyao and Rebecca immediately stopped and waited for the indicator lights to turn green.

But unexpectedly, Lucy, who was leading the way in front, continued to walk forward.

"Lucy?!" Rebecca shouted: "It's a red light now! Wait for a moment!"
