Chapter 567 Will Dispute
Upon receiving the news of the old lady's death, the lawyer rushed to the villa and announced the changed contents of the will.
The old lady left all her property, including the house, to the housekeeper.
"What?!!!" Pingzhong's family was extremely shocked. "How is it possible! Why?"
The second son, Hiranaka Kota, stared at the housekeeper and asked, "Why did mom leave all the inheritance to you?"
The housekeeper replied expressionlessly, "Because the old lady knew that someone coveted her property and wanted to kill her, in order to survive and live to the anniversary of the master's death, she deliberately changed the contents of the will. When the day passed, she would change the will back."
"But unexpectedly, she was still murdered!"
When the butler finished speaking, his tone was full of anger and sadness.
He had served the Heinaka family all his life. The old lady and the deceased master had been very kind to him. He never expected that he would end up like this in his later years.
The housekeeper glanced at several people with cold eyes, and finally looked at Youya and said: "Detective Kamiya, please find the murderer who killed the old lady! Please!"
After saying that, he bowed vigorously towards Youye, bending his waist to 90 degrees.
"Why are you pretending to be a good person!" Hiranaka Kota suddenly roared, "You must have killed Mom. Originally, you had no right to inherit the estate, but now she has changed the beneficiary of the will to you. As long as Mom dies, all the property of the Hiranaka family will be yours!"
"That's right, you must have killed my mother!" Heinaka Keisuke and Heinaka Megumi also glared at the housekeeper.
Even the usually taciturn Rina Hiranaka looked at the butler with suspicion.
The housekeeper was so anxious that he was sweating profusely: "How is it possible? I have served the Pingzhong family for so many years, and the old lady has always treated me very well. How could I possibly harm her!"
Hiranaka Yuta sneered, "Who knows? Maybe you have evil intentions because you see that mom's inheritance is so large? And I heard that your son owes a lot of money because of business failure, right?"
The housekeeper's expression suddenly changed: "That's right, but I will never kill the old lady!"
"And, and!" the butler suddenly shouted, "Didn't Mr. Kota also owe a huge sum of money because of gambling? It was you who pushed the old lady down the stairs!"
Hiranaka Kota's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't Mom fall down the stairs by herself? What does it have to do with me?"
"And to be honest, Big Brother is also suspicious!"
Heinaka Keisuke's face changed: "What do you mean?"
Heinaka Yuta sneered, "Don't think I don't know that you embezzled a large amount of company funds. You were waiting for your mother's inheritance to save your life, right? That's why you pushed your mother down the stairs to make her die sooner."
Heinaka Keisuke's face turned pale: "You, how did you know?"
He suddenly reacted and argued loudly: "You are talking nonsense, I will not kill my mother because of this kind of thing!"
Hiranaka Kota just sneered.
Hiranaka Keisuke was sweating profusely, and suddenly looked at Hiranaka Rina: "If you ask me, Rina is the most suspicious, right?"
Hiranaka Rina was stunned: "How could it be me?"
Heinaka Keisuke sneered, with a desperate look on his face: "Don't think I don't know that you have a gigolo outside, and the pocket money your mother gives you is not enough, and you still..."
"Enough, shut up!" Rina Hiranaka's face turned red, and she was so angry that her body was shaking after her secret was exposed.
Yuya and a few others were eating melons on the side, but they didn't expect that although this family seemed harmonious, there were so many twists and turns behind the scenes.
How do they know other people's secrets?
At this time, the lawyer kindly reminded: "No matter what happened before, now, according to the old lady's will, all her property is left to the housekeeper. Please remember this clearly."
Otherwise, if there is a dispute over inheritance, he, the lawyer, will be in trouble.
"I will never agree to this!" Hiranaka Yuta roared, "The person who killed my mother must be you, Yamato! Mr. Police, please arrest him immediately!"
"Yes, catch him quickly!" Hiranaka Keisuke, Hiranaka Megumi, and Hiranaka Rina whose disguise had been torn off all echoed.
As long as the butler is identified as the murderer, he will lose the right to inherit the property even if there is a will. In this way, the old lady's estate will be divided among them according to the legal heirs.
Yokoguro Sango quickly tried to smooth things over: "But right now there is no evidence to prove that the butler is the murderer..."
Several Pingzhong also realized this and sat on the sofa angrily, with several pairs of eyes still staring at the housekeeper.
Yokomizo Sango looked at Yuya for help.
Youya pondered. There were almost no clues now, and even he couldn't judge who the murderer was.
At this time, the doctor suddenly said: "Speaking of which, the liver medicine that the old lady took today was brought back from abroad by Mr. Kota."
"Hmm?" Youya looked over, "Where's the medicine?"
The doctor quickly took Youye to the storage room and took out the bottle of liver medicine from the cabinet above.
Yuya took the medicine bottle and examined it, but didn't see anything special, so he handed it to Miyano Shiho.
Miyano Shiho looked at the instructions on the bottle and said, "According to the instructions above, this is indeed a medicine that has a good effect on the liver. Of course, the premise is that the medicine inside has not been replaced or nothing extra has been added."
Yokogo Sango's face changed and he quickly called the forensic officer to send the drugs for toxin testing.
Yuya glanced around and saw a lot of commonly used medicines stored in the cabinet, and next to the bottle of medicine there was another bottle of medicine, which was also related to the liver.
"This is a liver-protecting capsule," the doctor explained, "but the old lady doesn't take it very often."
"Have you eaten today?" Youye asked.
The doctor was stunned for a moment, then he recalled carefully for a while and shook his head: "I don't know, maybe he didn't eat it?"
Yuya thought about it and handed the bottle of capsules to the forensic officer: "Just in case, let's test this bottle of medicine as well."
The forensic officer nodded and left with the medicine.
Yuya and Toru Amuro walked around the villa, trying to see if there were any clues.
A Shiba Inu ran past them chasing a ball.
Yuya's eyes followed subconsciously, and Amuro Toru took a look and said, "This dog is Pochi."
"Pochi?" Youya looked at Pochi, an ordinary Shiba Inu who looked a little dull.
At this time, the ball rolled to Yuya's feet.
Pochi barked twice and jumped happily on the spot, as if inviting Youye to play with it.
Yuya sighed, Pochi seemed completely unaware that his old master had passed away.
He bent down to pick up the ball and threw it casually into an open space.
Pochi ran over happily, brought the ball back and placed it at Yuya's feet, then ran back quickly.
After casually playing with Pochi for a while, Youya patted its head and said, "Okay, Pochi, play by yourself. I have things to do."
Bochi barked, ran back to the nest with the ball in his mouth, and lay down obediently.
Yuya couldn't help but narrow his eyes as he looked at Pochi's skilled look.
