"Ms. Dana, thank you for your cooperation," Yide said gently to Dana.
Deep entreaty was revealed in Dana's eyes, "As long as you can find the real murderer who killed my daughter for me, I am willing to pay any price."
"Don't worry, I will definitely catch him," Yide solemnly promised again.
He then turned to leave, but just as he was about to step over the threshold, he suddenly turned back and asked a question: "By the way, who exactly is the biological father of Anna and the other children?"
Dana was slightly stunned by this question, and a complex emotion flashed across her face.
After a brief hesitation, she finally revealed the man's name.
When Furina heard this name, a hint of surprise couldn't help flashing in her eyes.
But Yide's expression remained as calm as water, as if he had expected this result.
After leaving the house, a drizzle quietly fell from the sky.
Yide's mood was a bit gloomy, Dana reminded him of the original owner's poor mother.
Furina followed closely behind him, curiously asking, "Yide, why would Dana hide such an important thing?"
Yide sneered, "Your Ladyship, can't you use your rusty brain to think about such a simple question?"
Furina was speechless at his words.
She was so angry!
This bastard, if he falls into her hands in the future, she must sentence him to death!
The two walked silently one after the other, without saying a word.
The rain gradually intensified, changing from a fine drizzle to a continuous light rain.
Yide opened the umbrella in his hand, shielding himself from the fluttering raindrops.
Furina noticed that he had no intention of sharing the space under the umbrella, so she was too embarrassed to lean over.
The rain quietly soaked Furina's clothes, and the coldness penetrated her skin through the wet fabric, making her mood also drop.
A sense of inexplicable grievance and loss lingered in her heart.
However, just when she was at her lowest point, Yide suddenly stopped.
He waited for Furina to approach, and then held the umbrella over her head.
All the grievances and loss in Furina's heart instantly vanished.
She would forgive him for the time being.
As for the death penalty, she would change it to life imprisonment.
"Yide, are you trying to please this Goddess? If so, then this Goddess will be magnanimous and not hold your previous offenses against you," Furina's tone was a bit exaggerated, as if she was indulging in self-admiration.
Yide's mouth twitched involuntarily when he heard this.
He quickened his pace, worried that he would be infected with stupidity by the "idiot goddess" beside him if he was even a little slower.
"Hey! Wait for me! Don't walk so fast!"
Furina hurriedly chased after him, not wanting to be drenched like a drowned rat.
After half an hour's journey, Yide returned to his home with a resentful Furina.
At this time, Ophelia and Ebel had been waiting for a long time.
The four sat around the table and began to seriously discuss the case.
Ophelia's expression was serious, and she said in a deep voice, "Chief Yide, according to the information I have found, the disappearance of the lawyer Kano is related to Baron Edson's will.
When Baron Edson was seriously ill, he made a will in advance, but later, he wanted to change the will for some reason.
Lawyer Kano rushed to Edson's manor late one night, and then mysteriously disappeared."
Hearing this, a flash of inspiration flashed in Furina's mind, and she said eagerly, "I understand! Edson learned that the Anna sisters were his biological daughters before he died, so he decided to change the will."
Her tone was firm and confident, full of confidence in her guess.
However, apart from Ebel showing a little approval, Ophelia and Yide were indifferent to this.
Ophelia said sternly, "Your Ladyship Furina, your deduction is completely wrong.
In aristocratic society, they often do not care about their illegitimate children, and even feel very disgusted by them.
Especially a stubborn aristocrat like Edson, he would never change his will because of the existence of illegitimate daughters.
Unless something unknown happened in the middle."
After saying that, she fell into deep thought, trying to think about various possibilities.
Yide pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth and ordered, "Ophelia, Ebel, please investigate the identities and backgrounds of the Marechaussee Phantom agents who were responsible for investigating the lawyer's disappearance case back then."
Ophelia and Ebel nodded in response after hearing this.
At this moment, Lynette and Lyney carefully walked in with steaming coffee.
"Father, guests, please enjoy the coffee!" Lyney's voice was gentle and well-behaved, showing the good upbringing.
When Furina heard Yide's address of father, she was struck by lightning. She never thought that Yide already had children.
At that moment, she felt that the whole world was moving away from her, and betrayal and disappointment surged into her heart.
But soon, she came back to her senses. Yide had no children during the trial, and he was not even twenty years old. Lyney and Lynette looked five or six years old.
Getting married and having children at the age of fourteen or fifteen?
This was obviously a bit too outrageous.
Lyney and Lynette should be orphans he adopted.
After figuring this out, the haze in Furina's heart was swept away, and a smile bloomed on her face again like sunshine.
However, Yide didn't tell her in advance, causing her to have a bad misunderstanding, so his crime was aggravated, from life imprisonment to death!
