Many of my university classmates are judges, prosecutors, or lawyers across the country.

I sent a private message with a "case inquiry" to those with good relationships:

“Please check if there are any cases locally where a business owner remarried after divorce, and the family's heirs subsequently died one after another, leaving the assets in the hands of the second wife.”

As soon as the message was sent on WeChat, the "ding ding ding" of replies made the small hospital room sound like a market.

My son rolled his eyes at me repeatedly, and I chuckled and moved a bit farther away, starting to filter the useful information.

Most of the replies from classmates were:

“Xiao Yu, need material for a suspense novel?”

“Has Lawyer Gao switched to handling criminal cases?”

“What a terrifying storyline, scarier than fictional horror stories!”

……

Only one classmate, a public lawyer in a remote county, said he handled a case highly similar to my clue!

He gave me the case number and told me to look it up on the court documents website myself.

It turned out to be a case closed six years ago!

The defendant was only fourteen at the time, and the victim was his father, Su Fugui, who ran a building materials business.

The boy pushed his father off a mountain in a scenic area and swindled over four million in insurance money.

Then, he even tortured and killed his own grandmother.

Because he was a minor and had a good attitude of confession, the local intermediate court sentenced him to seven years in prison.

After reading the judgment, I sorted out that the family’s insurance proceeds, company, and savings ended up in the hands of the boy’s stepmother.

And the stepmother’s name was written as “Lv XX.”

It must be Lv Jiajia!

I exclaimed, “Ah,” surprised at my luck!

I sent all the photos related to Zhang Fengxia’s group to that classmate.

Half an hour later, he replied: “The third picture, Lv Jiajia, is the stepmother of my client. The last picture, judging by the facial features, looks like my client. He was released from prison this year.”

I suddenly felt a surge of emotions, and my vision blurred.

The children of the victims eventually became the perpetrators!
