A wealthy family recognizes my relatives? But I am already a billionaire.

Chapter 164 Extreme Coincidence

Xu Youyou turned around and squatted on the ground, staring at the broken finger. It seemed to be her ring finger because there was a diamond ring on it.

The two police officers' expressions had become extremely serious: "A murder has indeed occurred here. The scene must be sealed off immediately."

Mrs. Gu recovered and said reflexively, "No, this is my house. If people knew about the murder, the house price would definitely drop..."

Xu Youyou said lightly, "Mrs. Gu, you're stopping the police from doing their job. Did you kill that person? Is that why you're so afraid of people finding out?"

Mrs. Gu immediately became furious and said, "Xu Youyou, stop spitting blood! I just bought the house, and this person has been lying in there for who knows how many days. What does this have to do with me?"

The police officer looked at Xu Youyou helplessly and said, "Ms. Xu, please stop scaring Mrs. Gu."

He turned back to comfort Mrs. Gu, "Don't worry, Mrs. Gu. This is something none of us want to see happen. We will definitely find out the truth as soon as possible. Please cooperate. The scene needs to be sealed off for a while. It will be unsealed naturally after the truth is found out. This is a legal procedure and cannot be circumvented."

No matter how reluctant Mrs. Gu was, she did not dare to obstruct law enforcement and had to agree.

Xu Youyou added, "The previous owner seemed to be planning to emigrate abroad."

The police officers tensed up instantly and took action in the shortest possible time.

Thanks to Xu Youyou's reminder, the police notified the police in time, and the original owner and his lover were just one step away from boarding the plane when they were stopped.

Although this case was a bit complicated, the two murderers were arrested at the same time, and it took a lot of effort to sort out the entire case.

Xu Youyou finally learned the truth of the case.

The female corpse in the stairwell was indeed the missing hostess, but she did not die from falling into the sea, but was murdered by her loved ones.

The hostess, Wu Mingzhu, lost her parents when she was one year old. Her mother remarried and soon gave birth to another daughter named Huang Zhenzhu. This sister, who was two years younger than her, looked extremely similar to Wu Mingzhu.

Although the two are half-sisters, their fates are very different. Their mother divorced and married a wealthy businessman, but soon after the marriage, the businessman went bankrupt and their lives fell into decline.

On the contrary, Wu's father, a university professor, prospered through careful management and bought a property for his daughter early on.

Wu Mingzhu was raised like a princess by her father, while her younger sister Huang Zhenzhu was often beaten by their bankrupt father. Even though Wu Mingzhu often helped Huang Zhenzhu, the narrow-minded Huang Zhenzhu still held a grudge against her.

Sun Jiaming was originally his younger sister Huang Zhenzhu's boyfriend. With his younger sister's deliberate matchmaking, he met and fell in love with Wu Mingzhu, and eventually they got married.

Huang Zhenzhu used to be a diving instructor and is very good at swimming. Sun Jiaming came from a humble background and worked on construction sites while studying, where he learned the skill of bricklaying.

The two men came together to plot against the expensive villa owned by the hostess.

The hostess was murdered in the villa. Coincidentally, the stairwell was going to be converted into an elevator, so the host simply sealed her body in the wall, poured cement in it, painted it white, and covered it with wallpaper. Logically, it should not be noticed by others.

This is indeed the case. After the villa was put up for sale, so many people came to see the house, but no one noticed anything unusual about it. If it weren't for Xu Youyou, who could understand dog language, the matter would have just slipped away.

After completing the murder, the male host asked his sister Huang Zhenzhu, who looked very similar to the female host, to dress up like her and go sea fishing, and deliberately fell into the sea under the camera.

The most difficult part of this situation is not the murder or falling into the sea, but waiting for the hostess's father to leave Shanghai.

The father and daughter have a very good relationship. The old father lives in the next community, and even after getting married, they meet almost every day. He will know whether she is his real daughter as soon as they meet.

Sea fishing is a common hobby of the father and daughter, and the old father always goes out to sea with his daughter.

Xu Youyou also soon met the devastated old father. When she first saw him, she always felt that he looked familiar, but she couldn't remember him for a while.

"Ms. Xu, I really don't know how to thank you. You must accept this small gift." Professor Wu handed a check to Xu Youyou while crying.

The amount above is 20 million, which is exactly the reward amount that Professor Wu had previously offered for finding his daughter's body.

Xu Youyou didn't want to accept it, but Professor Wu was very sincere. Seeing that she didn't want to accept it, he immediately gave it to Xu Fang who was standing beside her.

"My dear daughter, I knew she was not such a careless person. It's a pity that she is so afraid of the dark, but she was trapped in cold cement..." The old father said with tears in his eyes.

Xu Youyou felt a lump in her throat, and couldn't help thinking, maybe this is what it feels like to be loved completely. Even if you encounter misfortune, there are people who care about you and are willing to spend all their money to seek justice for you.

"Uncle Wu, what are your plans for the future?" Xu Youyou asked.

Professor Wu said, "I will try to live a few more years. When I am old, if any student is willing to pay tribute to my daughter every year, I will leave all my property to him."

Xu Youyou couldn't help feeling upset again. The old man didn't care about his own affairs after his death, but was afraid that no one would worship his daughter in the underground.

"I heard from the police officer that you are a university professor. I wonder what subject you teach?" Xu Youyou asked.

Professor Wu casually said, "I study ancient literature."

Xu Youyou asked again: "Have you studied Dream of the Red Chamber?"

Professor Wu said: "My main research direction is 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. Don't worry about Miss Xu making fun of me, my life is just my daughter, 'Dream of the Red Chamber' and sea fishing."

Xu Youyou was shocked, but she felt it was a great coincidence. She finally understood why she felt that Professor Wu looked familiar. She had read his works and saw his photo on the title page.

"I once read a book called 'Appreciating Ancient Poetry from the Dream of the Red Chamber'. It seems to be your work?" Xu Youyou asked.

Professor Wu nodded gently, wiped the tears from his face, and said, "Miss Xu also likes Dream of the Red Chamber?"

Xu Youyou said, "Uncle Wu, I'm planning to reshoot Dream of the Red Chamber. Once the script is finished, I'd like to ask for your advice."

Professor Wu was stunned when he heard this, and after a long while, he said, "My teacher directed the filming of that TV series forty years ago. Since then, all the remakes have been unsatisfactory. I never thought that someone as ordinary as me would have the opportunity to participate in such an important TV series."

The TV version of Dream of the Red Chamber from forty years ago is a classic in the hearts of countless people. Xu Youyou never thought about surpassing the previous work. She just thought that she had already got the full manuscript. Wouldn’t it be a pity if she couldn’t present it to the public?
