"Humph, how can you be so sure it's one of us?" At this moment, Zhubin Laura sneered and said, "Big brother has made so many enemies over the years, he probably doesn't even know himself. Your one-sided view of this matter is truly hard to believe."
"There must be a motive for wanting to kill someone. Jennie has never provoked anyone in Laura's family, so the only reason for targeting the head of the family is either for power or for money. And in Laura's family, everyone present would directly benefit from such an act. I'm sure everyone here is well aware of that," Bidegla spoke, causing Zhubin Laura's complexion to change dramatically.
"Don't accuse me without evidence," Zhubin Laura shouted, making Bidegla's words give him a big shock.
This is a huge mess, and if it sticks, he won't be able to wash it off even if he jumps into the Yellow River.
Not to mention he didn't do it, even if he did, he would never admit it.
At this moment, he regretted opposing his big brother all these years. When Jennie Laura was assassinated, he had also been suspected by many, but without evidence, the matter gradually subsided.
But undoubtedly, if his big brother were to step down, he would be the most likely to take his place as the head of the family, after all, he was the one who had truly competed with Maik Laura in the past and had the strongest motive.
"Why are you so worked up? I didn't say it was you. Could it be that this is really your doing?" Watching Zhubin Laura's strong reaction, Bidegla smiled slightly, causing Zhubin Laura to frown.
This young man is truly unfathomable; he doesn't know what the other person is thinking.
"The security at Mingyue Villa is so strict that it's very difficult even for an assassin to sneak in. And think about it, if an outsider really wanted to kill your family head, they could easily do it outside, so why would they do it inside Mingyue Villa? So the only possible explanation is that the assassin was brought in from outside by someone from within, without going through any checks."
"I also know that after Jennie was attacked, you all didn't find the assassin. So I speculate that the assassin must have been hidden by one of you, which is why they weren't found. My words should make sense, right?"
Surprisingly, after Bidegla's deduction, everyone present nodded. Although Bidegla's words were just speculation, they made a lot of sense. The security forces at Mingyue Villa are all elite soldiers who can handle ten opponents without much trouble, and with surveillance all around, it's very difficult for anyone to sneak in. Since they couldn't sneak in, it means they entered openly without any scrutiny.
This is a huge loophole that none of them paid attention to.
"Among you, there are those who want to bring down the family head and then gain some kind of benefit for themselves. Even if it was really done by an outsider, it can only mean that there is a mole among you collaborating with outsiders to achieve a hidden agenda." Bidegla's words made everyone start to stir again.
Bidegla's words made everyone feel that they were in great danger, and their hearts were pounding.
"President Laura, may I ask what you were doing at the time of Jennie's assassination?" At this point, Bidegla turned his gaze to Zhubin Laura as if interrogating a suspect.
Although Zhubin Laura was very tempted to strangle Bidegla at this moment, he suppressed that impulse and explained, "When Jennie was killed, I was with my father the whole time, never leaving his side."
He couldn't afford not to explain this matter. If he didn't, he might become the prime suspect, and he didn't want to take on such a huge mess.
"I can testify to this. At the time of the incident, he was indeed with me, and he never left my sight after Jennie was attacked," Maik Laura's father spoke, his expression calm.
"Hmm?" Bidegla, upon hearing their words, became somewhat confused. According to the information obtained from Stuart Buzer, the most likely perpetrator was Zhubin Laura, due to his clean background and the opportunity to gain immense benefits. However, it seemed that he had made a mistake, as it did not appear to be as he had thought.
The plan was to kill Maik Laura, then kill Jennie and bring Maik Laura to ruin, causing him to lose his position as head of the family. Therefore, from every angle, Zhubin Laura was the prime suspect. The entire Laura group was almost entirely under his and Maik Laura's control, and if Maik Laura were to step down, he would have at least a ninety percent chance of taking over. How could it not be him?
Stolen story; please report.
All signs indicated that he was the culprit, but there was no evidence.
"Although I have always been discontent with my older brother becoming the head of the Laura family, I have never considered harming him. If I truly wanted to become the head of the family, I would only use legitimate means to defeat him and ascend to the position smoothly. I would never stoop to the level of using murder to achieve my goals," Zhubin Laura stated, presenting himself as a man of honor and integrity.
"I believe it wasn't him," Maik Laura spoke at this point, a rare occasion where he helped clear Zhubin Laura's name of any wrongdoing.
“Why?” Bidegla asked.
"We both share a certain intuition, so no matter how well others may conceal their murderous intent, we can still sense it. Although he has always been at odds with me, I still believe he would not do anything to harm me," Maik Laura explained, leaving Bidegla stunned.
Even Maik Laura had concluded that the culprit was not Zhubin Laura, so who could it be?
Maik Laura's words were accurate. After their training, their intuition was far superior to that of ordinary people. Even if someone temporarily concealed their murderous intent, it was inevitable that it would eventually be exposed, especially after spending a considerable amount of time with them.
Just like the night before Jennie's encounter with the serial killer, Bidegla had sensed the gaze of that person, but he had not actively pursued it.
Now, Bidegla was in a dilemma. He had originally wanted to find the culprit and seek revenge for Jennie, but now that the prime suspect had been ruled out, how would he continue his investigation?
"Bidegla, just forget it. It's been so many years since the incident, and I'm doing fine now, aren't I?" Jennie Laura spoke, reaching out and grabbing Bidegla's hand.
"You may be able to forget, but I cannot," Bidegla shook his head in response to Jennie's words, stating, "You are my woman, and you were once the target of an assassination. Of course, I must help you find the culprit, or who knows if they may try to harm you again in the future. Today, I must find out the truth."
Bidegla's voice was resolute and unwavering.
"You..." Upon hearing Bidegla's words, Jennie Laura was deeply moved, holding his hand even tighter. She had met a man in this lifetime who cared so deeply for her, what more could she ask for?
"By the way, Jennie, when you were attacked, did you get a good look at the assailant or did they say anything to you?" Bidegla asked Jennie, filled with uncertainty.
Jennie Laura was the one who was attacked. If she had seen the assailant's face, it would have been easy to track them down with the resources of the Laura Group.
"No," Jennie Laura pondered for a moment, shaking her head. "I was sleeping at the time of the attack. When I woke up, I saw someone jumping out of the window. I have no idea what they looked like."
"Did they say anything?" Bidegla inquired further.
"I don't think so," Jennie Laura replied uncertainly.
"Did you hear anything?" Bidegla could tell by Jennie's tone that the person had definitely said something.
"I'm not sure, because I heard him say something in a daze," Jennie Laura said, visibly nervous.
"It's okay, I'm here. No one will dare to harm you," Bidegla assured Jennie, gripping her hand firmly.
"Okay," Jennie Laura nodded, and then continued, "I was already half asleep at that time, but I heard him say something about a regrettable missed opportunity, but it's been too long, and I can't remember clearly if I really heard it." Jennie then shook her head, seeming reluctant to recall the incident.
"Alright, I understand," Bidegla said, refraining from further questioning. Instead, he turned his gaze to the people present and declared, "The truth is clear. One of you here is the mastermind behind all this. Come forward and confess, because if I find out, I will ensure that you suffer greatly."
Bidegla's voice was cold, causing a stir among the people present. However, no one stepped forward. Judging by Bidegla's tone, if the culprit did reveal themselves, they would be in serious trouble.
If Bidegla doesn't deal with him, will Maik Laura be let off the hook?
"Sister, have you forgotten something? Think about it carefully. Now that your husband is advocating for you, we must find the culprit and punish them severely," a voice spoke up, and it was none other than Paulo Laura.
"I can't remember," Jennie Laura shook her head, her expression pained.
"Hmm? This person?" Bidegla's gaze shifted slightly upon seeing Paulo Laura, as he unexpectedly sensed that Paulo's heart was beating irregularly, despite his outward calm demeanor. At the same time, Bidegla used his insight to observe the heart rates of the others, and while they were irregular, none were as obvious as Paulo Laura's.
This person definitely has something to hide!
If he hadn't spoken up, Bidegla wouldn't have noticed him at all. Hearing him speak, it seemed that he was Jennie's brother.
In that moment, Bidegla suddenly overlooked a very important detail. If Maik Laura were to fall, the person who would benefit the most might be Zhubin Laura. However, if Jennie were to die, Paulo Laura could gain considerable advantages.
After all, without Jennie, he might inherit all of his father's wealth and possibly everything else in the future.
At this realization, Bidegla had a sudden epiphany. If his intuition was correct, Jennie's brother might have been involved in the events of that year, and perhaps even…
Bidegla's gaze flickered slightly, and then he looked at Paulo Laura and slowly said, "Were you the mastermind behind everything that happened back then?"
The voice of Bidegla was remarkably tranquil, yet upon hearing these words, Paulo Laura's countenance momentarily stiffened, before swiftly returning to its usual composure as he inquired, "What are you saying? Why can't I understand?"
