eluctant to leave just like that. They looked up at Cui Liu with their small faces, hoping he wouldn't make them go. They were so innocent and adorable, completely showing the most endearing side of...Now that things have calmed down, let's just talk about the atmosphere here. It's definitely eased a lot!
Lin Meng's ability to "lift a thousand pounds with four ounces" is admirable!
"I accept your suspicions!"
He spoke candidly, expressing Rong's position while also voicing his own suspicions.
"Since this thing appeared in your house, I have reason to suspect that it was stolen. As for the thief, I would suspect everyone who is worth suspecting."
This naturally includes Lin Meng!
What Lin Meng knows.
"I accept that."
Just then, Uncle Zun walked in with four others. His hawk-like eyes first swept around, getting a general sense of the current atmosphere. He figured he didn't need to resort to violence, so he calmly approached Lin Meng. Lin Meng spoke softly and gave him a brief account of what had happened.
Zūn Shū Lǎo Dào, jí mò fā huà.
“This is an insult to our dignity, and it must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise, both parties will be unhappy. I think this way, since everyone is already here, it won't make much difference if we continue sitting here and cooperate with our investigation. This document isn't going to walk away on its own, appearing here means someone put it down. If we really want to investigate, it shouldn't be too difficult! So, let's work together, Lord Four!”
If he has shown sincerity, how could Rong Si not respond! There is no reason for him to have full authority to investigate, otherwise, Lin Meng's side would not believe it either!
At this time, Rong Man also spoke up. It was she who had brought the person in. Now that something like this had happened, she absolutely couldn't stand idly by. In her opinion, this matter definitely had nothing to do with Rong Ling. He wouldn't stoop to stealing things like this, and he certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to steal something and then throw it away casually. Besides, Lin Meng's intelligence hadn't deteriorated to this point! What she was most annoyed by now was that her intuition told her that Lin Meng's suspicions were correct. Then, these people from the Rong family used her to get in the door and framed Rong Ling and Lin Meng, and finally threatened Rong Ling. It was simply too infuriating!
"Uncle Si, please look into this matter carefully. The person involved is someone I brought here, so I absolutely won't allow any slander or false accusations to be spread. I also ask all the elders and older siblings to cooperate as much as possible so that we can hopefully bring this matter to a swift and clear resolution!"
Since she made it so clear, the Rong family naturally had to cooperate. Besides, Lin Meng also praised them, they absolutely wouldn't let Lin Meng look down on them.
Thus, these usually arrogant people surprisingly cooperated wholeheartedly. At Uncle Rong's request, everyone who had lingered near the soft couch since entering was brought out for questioning. As for the others, Lin Mengshan, fulfilling her duties as the mistress, invited them all to sit down and served them tea and refreshments.
Master Zun's appearance was extraordinary, his methods causing even Rong Si to be secretly astonished. Outsiders see the commotion, insiders see the point. When Master Zun revealed a series of criminal investigation matters through his subordinates, Rong Si knew this man was exceptional. This is good too, it saves him from having his subordinates reveal those matters himself.
First, fingerprints on the file need to be collected for preliminary target identification.
Secondly, debris such as hair around the tatami mats was also collected. At the same time, hair from anyone who had wandered around the tatami mats was collected for DNA comparison.
Having reached this level of professionalism, many people expressed astonishment and anticipation for the final outcome. To avoid any suspicion from the Rong family regarding the results, Master Zun sincerely invited two trustworthy individuals from the Rong Four Families to work collaboratively. Rong Jian readily agreed, while Rong Man volunteered to participate in the process as well, taking on the role of supervisor. During this process of mutual distrust between the parties, she acted as a mediator, earning the trust of both sides and ensuring impartiality.
The fingerprint results came out first. They showed the fingerprints of Rong Ling, Lin Meng, the young man from the Rong family who had taken the document, and Rong Si's. To an outsider, these results would naturally raise more suspicion about Lin Meng and Rong Ling, but insiders know that fingerprints can be forged.
To this, Rong Si made a candid explanation, suppressing the indignation of some members of the Rong family.
Then, Lin Meng also raised doubts, that is, why would she be so stupid to put this thing in such an obvious place! Isn't this suspicious! And the fingerprints on the document seem too regular, just a few, not at all chaotic. If this document is really important, wouldn't the person who stole it carefully review it; Just by being able to casually place the document on the soft bed, it can at least explain that this document should be taken and looked at casually, and it shouldn't be so clean at the end of the fingerprints. And judging from the force point, these fingerprints are also somewhat regular; you know, due to different grasping postures, fingerprints will appear in various ways.
Because Lin Meng had been falsely accused by Li Lanqiu in the study last time, she had done some research on fingerprints. When it came to this topic, she spoke eloquently and clearly, which was quite impressive.
Indeed, the points she raised are really suspicious!
Most importantly, she said this:
“Since you have invited Rong Ling back with such sincerity, and have put in so much effort, I believe you trust him. As the saying goes, ‘Do not suspect those you use, and do not use those you suspect.’ We have made it clear several times that your Rong family could ask someone else to take charge, but you still insist on Rong Ling. This shows that you have great confidence in him. Then why do you doubt him now! In this situation, how can you send Rong Ling back! Or are you saying that your insistence on Rong Ling is actually a blind reliance, a reliance that crumbles at the slightest blow!”
The family members were immediately stunned!
Lin Meng shouted again, "If that's the case, then please allow Ling to go back. After this, please don't mention it again! Today's matter ends here, and we will each go our separate ways on the sunny path!"
This rebuke, like a blow to the head, immediately shocked Rongliu.ple. The visitors were truly caring towards the old woman, and once Lin Meng confirmed that the woman being treated urgently inside was the one in the photo, they bombarded her with questions about th...
