Chapter 255 Murder on a Rainy Night
The front hall of the Sun residence is very large.
The room, which was about 30 to 40 square meters in size and completely empty, contained only a round Luohan table.
Led by the servants of the Sun family, Ye Shaohong and his group arrived at the place, where the dishes and wines had already been laid out.
But the old lady and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Sun family were nowhere to be seen.
Just as Ye Shaohong and the others were puzzled, a middle-aged man in his forties with a slicked-back hairstyle slowly walked into the open doorway of the hall.
"Commissioner Ye, I'm so sorry, so sorry."
"I just received a message from my mother and rushed over immediately, but I'm still too late." "I'll punish myself with three drinks later to apologize!"
Before the man even got close, he had already made a strong first impression. His familiar and polite words immediately caught Ye Shaohong's attention.
"you are?"
"Look at my memory, I forgot to introduce myself."
"My name is Sun Yihai, and my elder brother is Sun Yihui, the commander of the newly formed 7th Army."
“I am his third brother.”
While introducing himself, the middle-aged man strode quickly to Ye Shaohong's side. Upon seeing Ye Shaohong's face, Sun Yihai was slightly taken aback.
However, he quickly composed himself after that moment of surprise.
Then came a loud laugh.
"sit!"
"Team Leader Ye, please take a seat!" It has to be said that Sun Yihai has a lot of personal charm. In just a brief moment of contact, Ye Shaohong was already infected by his boldness and magnanimity.
A smile then appeared on his face.
"So it's the Third Master of the Sun family!"
"excuse me!"
"Hi!"
"Commissioner Ye, you are too kind. You are a distinguished guest who has come from afar to pay your respects to my elder brother on behalf of the National Government. It is my Sun family that has been negligent in our hospitality and has neglected you. How could you say that we have been impolite?"
Sun Yihai grinned, and even his words of apology, spoken by him, carried a touch of the carefree spirit of a northern man.
But he wasn't a man from the North.
This temperament is even more rare.
Seeing this, Ye Shaohong stopped being polite with him. After all, the role he was playing now was that of a person with connections. These insincere pleasantries were appropriate for him.
Ye Shaohong immediately sat down.
Following Ye Shaohong's actions, Yu Manli, Li Yunlong, Zhuang Yifan, and Zhou Haichao also took their seats.
Sun Yihai did not immediately take his seat, but instead picked up the wine pot from the table and personally filled a cup for Ye Shaohong and the other four.
Then he returned to his seat.
"I'll punish myself with three drinks first!"
Without waiting for Ye Shaohong's response, Sun Yihai downed three glasses of wine as if they were water.
Before drinking each glass of wine, Sun Yihai would raise a toast to Ye Shaohong from afar and explain his reasons for punishing himself.
Ye Shaohong nodded repeatedly at the sight of those swift and decisive movements.
Li Yunlong's eyes widened immediately.
He was also from the north and a lover of wine, so he naturally felt a sense of closeness to such a bold and unrestrained person. It was only because his superior, Ye Shaohong, was still there that he felt this way. If it were just Li Yunlong alone, this bandit king from the north would probably have already stood up, stepped on the table, and called Sun Yihai over.
Zhuang Yifan is the same.
Zhou Haichao, however, seemed quite resistant to Sun Yihai.
He frowned, and several times he tried to speak, but in the end he looked at Ye Shaohong and held back.
After three cups of apology wine, Sun Yihai finally revealed his purpose for coming.
It turned out that the old lady of the Sun family saw that there were mostly women in the old house and it was not appropriate for her to personally entertain Ye Shaohong and his group. So, in the afternoon, she specially sent someone to Hanyang County to call Sun Yihai back.
They wanted Sun Yihai to receive Ye Shaohong and his group.
This is normal.
When Ye Shaohong first met the old lady of the Sun family, he keenly sensed that she was a typical old-fashioned person. Women of her generation were very particular about the distinction between men and women.
This arrangement is reasonable.
Ye Shaohong, of course, wouldn't blame him.
After a brief explanation, Sun Yihai sat down, and Ye Shaohong began to chat with him.
They talk nonsense from all over the country.
With the help of knowledge he learned online in his later years, Ye Shaohong could always manage to say a few words, albeit vaguely, no matter where Sun Yihai steered the conversation.
I'd like to share some comments and opinions.
Even Sun Yihai, a seasoned veteran in the business world and a street tycoon, couldn't help but repeatedly express his admiration.
They claimed that Ye Shaohong was a rare and outstanding young talent.
Under these circumstances, their conversation naturally went smoothly. After several rounds of drinks and dishes, and with Sun Yihai clearly intoxicated due to the deliberate encouragement of Ye Shaohong, Li Yunlong, Zhuang Yifan, and Zhou Haichao, Ye Shaohong began to inquire about the cause of death of Sun Yihui, the commander of the newly formed Seventh Army.
Why would a high-ranking official of the National Government, a fierce general commanding tens of thousands of soldiers, commit suicide for no apparent reason in the room of his newly acquired concubine?
This question had troubled Ye Shaohong for far too long.
He desperately wanted to get an answer from the Sun family.
Ye Shaohong also happened to have a reason to ask.
After all, he was specially dispatched by the Nationalist government to pay his respects to Commander Sun Yihui.
If this problem isn't clarified, he won't be able to go back and report.
With a plausible reason and perfect timing, Sun Yihai, in a daze and without suspicion, began to recount the circumstances of Sun Yihui's death in fits and starts.
According to Sun Yihai, he didn't know the details of the matter either. He only learned a rough outline of what happened that night from the old lady of the Sun family.
It is said that it was a stormy night.
Sun Yihui, who had been away from home for several days and had not returned from the military camp, suddenly drove back.
He was completely drunk at the time.
Upon entering the house, the eldest wife of the Sun family, who was also Sun Yihui's first wife, immediately ordered people to help Sun Yihui change her clothes.
Boil ginger soup.
After a brief conversation, Sun Yihui went to the Seventh Concubine's room under the resentful gaze of the First Madam.
The old lady of the Sun family didn't say what happened inside the room, and Sun Yihai didn't press her for details.
More than half an hour later, the lights in the seventh concubine's room were finally turned off. At two o'clock in the morning, the seventh concubine got up to relieve herself, yawned, and turned on the incandescent light in the room. When she came back, she did not look at Sun Yihui on the bed.
Back in bed, the seventh concubine turned to her side, ready to hug Sun Yihui and fall asleep again.
But then he suddenly felt a wet spot on the bed.
The seventh concubine was confused.
She raised her hand in the darkness, and in the flash of lightning outside, she saw that her hand was covered in blood.
It immediately let out a terrified and shrill scream.
Then, the newlywed seventh concubine, who had recently married into the Sun family, fell off the bed in a panic. Wearing only a bib and shorts, she opened the door and ran out.
She shouted and went to the door of the old lady Sun's room, pounding on it repeatedly.
It wasn't until the old lady of the Sun family was awakened and the servants from the other households arrived that everyone learned of the death of Sun Yihui, the pillar of their Sun family!
