Chapter 202 Zhang Ma's Memories
"Do you still remember our speculation about the cause of grandpa's death?"
Lin Zisu frowned and said: "In the past, we were weak and had no way to investigate. Now that I have taken control of the Lin family, I have free hands. The first thing I need to do is to find out the cause of grandpa's death!"
"Hmm...yes, your grandfather was probably killed by someone!" Jiang Zhonglou also nodded.
"I asked Guapi to quietly find the two maids who used to serve grandpa. I planned to ask them one by one, so I called you."
As soon as Lin Zisu finished speaking, Guapi knocked on the door and brought in a woman in her forties.
"Miss."
The middle-aged woman bowed and saluted Lin Zisu.
"Mother Zhang, do you know why I called you here today...?"
Lin Zisu looked at the woman named Zhang Ma with burning eyes.
"I...I don't know..."
Zhang Ma whispered nervously.
"You have been working as a maid and nanny in our Lin family for some years, right?"
Lin Zisu still stared at Zhang Ma.
"It's...about ten years..."
"Then you should know that if there is something extremely important, I will not ask you to ask questions alone!"
"this..."
Beads of sweat suddenly appeared on Zhang Ma's forehead.
"Did you say it yourself, or did you want me to remind you?" Lin Zisu said coldly.
"Miss! The old man's death is none of my business and has nothing to do with me! Please let me go!"
Zhang Ma suddenly panicked and began to cry and beg.
"I know it's none of your business, otherwise, I wouldn't be asking you questions here..."
Lin Zisu paused and then said calmly: "Tell me everything you know, and I will consider letting you go because you have been with the Lin family for more than ten years!"
"Yes! Yes!"
Zhang Ma calmed herself down, wiped away her tears and then said: "Those of us servants who serve the old man closely have actually long suspected that there is something fishy about the old man's death..."
"What's weird?"
"Although the old man is very old and sick, he has excellent medical skills and should know his own body very well. How could he suddenly die in his sleep without any warning?"
Zhang Ma sighed: "Besides, the old man was actually in very good spirits on the day he died, and his appetite was better than usual...
That night, I stayed on duty outside the old man's bedroom. The whole night, there was no movement at all...
But I didn’t expect that the old man would lose his temper the next morning, which is so strange! So, we servants all secretly talked about it, saying that the old man... was killed by someone!"
Listening to Zhang Ma's words, Lin Zisu was very excited, but she tried her best to look calm: "We all know this, but you should tell me if you found any suspicious people... approaching the old man that day."
"Suspicious person..."
Zhang Ma was stunned and hesitated to speak. She couldn't help turning her head and looked at Jiang Zhonglou and Guapi worriedly.
"You can rest assured that Chonglou is my fiancé and Guapi is my confidant. They will not let your words out." Lin Zisu said again.
"yes..."
Zhang Ma paused and then whispered: "On the day the old man died, a lot of people actually came...
Early in the morning, the third master Lin Tiandong came with the young master of the Sichuan Army. The two of them had breakfast with the old man and said a lot of bad things about you in front of the old man..."
"What did they say?"
Lin Zisu narrowed her eyes.
"The third master and the young master of Sichuan Army told the old master that you are a woman after all. Girls are outgoing. If you marry someone in the future, you will not be from the Lin family. Therefore, Fang Hai Group must not be handed over to you..."
Zhang Ma said: "Young Master Sichuan Army also said that Miss Qingdai is also a female and cannot inherit the Lin family. He is the only male grandson of the third generation of the Lin family, so he asked the old man to pass the title of head of the family to the third master and then pass it on to him in the future.
..”
"What did the old man say?"
"Of course the old man was unhappy. He scolded them severely, saying that the third master and the young master Sichuan Army and his son had evil intentions and were not worthy of their responsibilities. The old man also said that even if Fang Hai Group was handed over to the second master and Miss Qingdai in the future, it would not be the same.
I will give it to them!" Zhang Ma said.
"What happened next?"
"The third master and the young master of the Sichuan Army were scolded by the old man, and they did not dare to speak anymore. They just finished breakfast with the old man and left."
"oh..."
Jiang Zhonglou and Lin Zisu looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Lin Tiandong and Lin Chuanjun, two idiots, father and son, actually openly persuaded Mr. Lin to hand over Fang Hai Group to them. They really didn't have any scheming or planning at all.
It seems that they are not the murderers of Mr. Lin...
"At noon, Wu Lao came again with some people, and they had lunch with the old man..."
Zhang's mother said: "The old man was in a good mood when he saw Wu Lao coming. He chatted happily with Wu Lao and even ate half a bowl of rice...
The old man said to the five elders that he had been busy curing diseases and saving people all his life and neglected to educate his descendants. Most of them were mediocre and unfit for their big responsibilities. Only you, who was trained by him, can carry forward Fanghai Group...
The old man also told the fifth elder that if one day he is no longer around, the fifth elder will help you and don’t follow the second and third masters in their mischief."
"..."
As Lin Zisu listened to Zhang's mother repeating her grandfather's words, she couldn't hold back the tears anymore and rolled down her cheeks.
There was sudden silence in the office.
"You keep talking..."
Lin Zisu wiped away her tears.
"Wulao left after lunch..."
Zhang Ma continued: "During dinner, a group of in-laws from the Lin family came again. They brought some gifts and said they came to visit the old man. The old man had to order someone to prepare a banquet to entertain them...
At the banquet, those relatives also said some bad things about you, saying that you relied on the old man's favor and thought you were great. You acted arbitrarily in Fanghai Hospital and ignored them and other relatives and elders...
The old man just smiled and listened to them without saying anything. Those relatives were bored and left after eating..."
"Among the people who came to eat with the old man that day, did anyone serve him tea or soup?"
Lin Zisu asked the key to the problem.
Grandpa probably died of poisoning, so everyone who ate with him that day would be suspected!
It shouldn't be difficult for them to take the opportunity to pour tea or soup for grandpa...
"It seems... not."
Zhang Ma frowned and thought for a while and said: "During the meal, Sun Ma and I have been waiting on the old man closely. We are responsible for pouring tea and serving soup. We will not let the guests do it. The guests can only do it for us."
The old man will pick up some food or something."
"Then do you think... is it possible that Sun Ma poisoned the old man?"
Lin Zisu stared at Zhang Ma and asked.
