Ye Wen smiled and asked them to prepare.

After the three of them left, Mu Cheng came in. Regarding today’s matter, Mu Cheng felt quite guilty towards Lin Yin. After Lin Yin persuaded him, Mu Cheng sighed and let today’s matter pass.

Then, Mu Cheng said, “Yinyin, the autopsy report of the Wei Family member who died in prison came out. Arsenic trioxide poisoning is the cause of death.”

Lin Yin’s expression instantly darkened. She said coldly, “According to you, that person was detained for less than three hours. Shouldn’t they have been interrogated according to the normal procedure? And arsenic is a highly toxic substance. It must be a lot to reach the dosage to kill someone. Shouldn’t there be a reaction in a few minutes after eating such a dosage? There must be unconscious struggles and sounds in the middle. How can those people guarding not know?”

Mu Cheng’s tone was also a little serious as she said, “When the Wei Family sent him over, there was already evidence, so the police station detained him and interrogated him later. Those who didn’t follow the procedure were directly sent to jail. However, this really doesn’t follow the procedure. It’s just that this person was sent by the Wei Family. I think those police officers were discerning enough to do this.”

Ye Wen said, “In that case, did that person eat the arsenic only after they entered the police station? There are no surveillance records to prove that someone poisoned her. Does this prove that that person brought the poison in themselves?”

“They have to undergo a full body checkup to enter the prison, so either that person hid it well or someone gave it to her halfway. But why is she so obedient and ate poison just like that?” Lin Yin said in confusion.

“This is too ostentatious. Is it possible that this person had already inadvertently eaten arsenic when she was in the Wei Family? It’s just that this arsenic has been modified. For example, after the sugar on the outside of the arsenic melts in the stomach, the toxicity of the arsenic will come out?” Mu Cheng guessed.

Lin Yin’s eyes lit up in agreement. “In that case, it won’t be easy to find the murderer. If we can know when the sugar coating melted, we can go to the Wei Family to investigate the people we came into contact with at that time. Now, the scope is too big.”

The three of them fell silent. The Wei Family was indeed a mess.

“However, after that person was exposed, he was detained by Wei Yang. Wei Yang’s people have been in contact with him for a long time, so he had plenty of time to commit the crime. However, this person is from the third branch after all. We can’t say that Wei Yang instructed the third branch to push me into the water, right? As far as I know, this person seems to be a distant relative of the third branch,” Lin Yin said after a moment of thought.

Hearing Lin Yin mention Wei Yang, Ye Wen frowned and said, “But there’s no reason for Wei Yang to push you into the water, right? This matter doesn’t seem to be of any benefit to their second branch.”

Mu Cheng analyzed, “There are still some benefits. If something happens to Yinyin in the Wei Family and they find out that it was the third branch who did it, the Wei Family will definitely give our Mu Family an explanation. At that time, the third branch won’t have it easy.”

“Isn’t the second branch the one who benefited in the middle? Moreover, if something happened to Yinyin, there would naturally not be a matter of the Mu family helping Wei Ji. The second branch benefited a lot from dealing with the third branch and Wei Ji in one go. The key is that the people from the second branch Imow Yinyin’s identity.”

Ye Wen frowned and said in a low voice, “I’m going to ask Ning Sheng if they’re using someone else to do this. They’re using our Mu family to suppress the people from the third branch, even using Yinyin’s life.”

Lin Yin was actually a little shocked. To be honest, she had yet to officially help Wei Ji snatch the Wei family’s resources. Logically speaking, the second and third branches of the Wei family should not have much conflict of interest with her for the time being.

However, according to Mu Cheng’s analysis, she had already become a pawn for the Wei Family to attack the other party.

The three of them did not speak for long before Mu Heng and the other two came to ask someone to go out and admire the moon. Only then did they stop their analysis.

It was Lin Yin’s first time at the Mu Family’s old residence. It did not look small. The winding corridor was filled with antique pavilions and buildings, which were a little similar to the classical buildings behind the Wei Family’s modern villa.

Mu Cheng said, “I heard that these courtyard buildings were specially redesigned by Master Architect Li Mo. Her design style was very popular at that time, but it’s a pity.”

Mu Ran asked curiously, “Why is it a pity?”
