> Resumos de The Murder in Kairoutei
The fire at Kairoutei, caused by a petrol bomb ignited in a microwave, was quickly extinguished by the police. One man, Gao Lin, was found dead, while Cheng Cheng was severely injured and rushed to the hospital. All suspects present at the scene were taken in for questioning, and their testimonies varied greatly. The police initially suspected Gao Zijian was the mastermind behind the kidnapping.
His parents, Gao Hongjie and Ji Dongmei, vehemently denied this, asserting their son lacked the courage for such an act. However, Teng Jun insisted that Gao Zijian knew about Gao Hongzhi's long-standing relationship with Li Sixuan and likely sought revenge. When questioned, Gao Hongzhi confirmed his feelings for Li Sixuan but dismissed it as a personal matter, which Captain Shi refuted, stating it was now part of a kidnapping investigation.
Li Sixuan, Gao Zijian's fiancée, claimed she barely knew him and that the Gao family's affairs were unrelated to her.
Jiang Yuanxing confessed that she had returned to Jiangyang using Xie Can's identity for three primary reasons: to swiftly resolve the power struggle for the chairmanship of Hongye Group, to use Xie Can's status as a board member to access internal company files to uncover the truth about the Seven Star Town flood, and to discover the truth behind the Kairoutei fire.
Investigations revealed that years ago, Gao Guangyi and his father-in-law, Gao Jianguo, had disregarded the family's objections and delayed relocating Hongye's old factory. This decision indirectly expanded the flood area, leading to the submersion of Seven Star Town. During his interrogation, Gao Zijian portrayed himself as a victim, pointing to his injuries.
When Captain Shi revealed that only Gao Zijian was not drugged and suggested he might have been exploited, Gao Zijian admitted to having drugged everyone before the will reading. His original plan was to place Li Sixuan and Gao Hongzhi in compromising positions, photograph them, and use the nude pictures to force Gao Hongzhi's resignation, thereby securing the chairmanship for himself.
He detailed how he ensured no one could call for help by taking their phones, turning off surveillance, clearing out staff, and unplugging all telephone lines. Captain Shi deduced that there must have been another person involved, either an accomplice or someone who took advantage of Gao Zijian's scheme.
Upon learning that the incident had turned into a murder case and someone had died, Gao Zijian reacted with shock, immediately asking about his parents' safety and quickly accusing Cheng Cheng of returning to seek revenge on Lin Zhenhui. Lin Zhenhui initially maintained a calm demeanor during her interrogation. She admitted to having been Gao Guangyi's mistress in her younger, ignorant years, and expressed her resentment for the years she sacrificed, only to be completely omitted from his will.
Captain Shi then revealed that Gao Guangyi had been secretly searching for his illegitimate son, and Lin Zhenhui saw this as an opportunity to control Cheng Cheng and claim Gao Guangyi's entire inheritance. While Lin Zhenhui denied such ambition, Captain Shi pressed her, suggesting she was acting on behalf of someone else. He then presented Gao Lin's diary, revealing him as her son and the true perpetrator of the explosion and kidnapping.
Lin Zhenhui initially refused to believe her son was dead and the culprit. Captain Shi explained that Gao Lin's sole objective was to kill Cheng Cheng, who was the only witness to the Kairoutei arson, and implied Lin Zhenhui was also a suspect. Gao Lin's diary contained a poignant message for his mother, expressing his love and apologizing for his mistakes.
Reading this, Lin Zhenhui broke down, lamenting her son's congenital heart condition and Gao Guangyi's apparent preference for Cheng Cheng, whom she bitterly referred to as a "love child." She confessed her overwhelming resentment that Cheng Cheng, an outsider, stood to inherit everything, while her own sick son was ignored. The investigation further delved into the death of Cheng Dawei. It was revealed that Gao Lin, disguised as a mysterious figure, had established contact with Cheng Cheng much earlier.
Lin Zhenhui had recommended Dafeng Investigation, where Gao Lin worked as the liaison, providing information about Cheng Dawei being Cheng Cheng's father. Influenced by Teng Jun, Cheng Dawei met Cheng Cheng by the river, leading to a heated argument. Gao Lin, who had been secretly observing them, hoped to gather incriminating evidence against Cheng Cheng. After Cheng Cheng left, Gao Lin confronted Cheng Dawei. Cheng Dawei, unafraid, challenged Gao Lin and even pulled off his mask.
During their struggle, Gao Lin accidentally pushed Cheng Dawei into the water, causing his death. Panicked, Gao Lin immediately called his mother, Lin Zhenhui, who calmly instructed him on how to dispose of the car to stage a car accident. Lin Zhenhui vowed to protect Gao Lin, proclaiming him as her sole reason for living, and subsequently orchestrated the Kairoutei incident. Lin Zhenhui's plan for Kairoutei involved tampering with candles to drug Cheng Cheng and Jiang Yuanxing.
Her intention was to kill a drunken Li Hao, impersonate him, and frame Cheng Cheng for both murders, leading the police to believe Cheng Cheng had killed Li Hao, disguised himself, and then jumped into the river to destroy evidence and commit suicide. However, her elaborate plan went awry when Gao Lin intervened, incapacitating Lin Zhenhui and taking her place.
It was Gao Lin who, impersonating Li Hao, entered the room, blocking the surveillance view at the door to make it seem like Jiang Yuanxing opened it. Once inside, he returned Jiang Yuanxing's phone and disposed of the drugged candles and Cheng Cheng's clothes. Unexpectedly, Cheng Cheng woke up. During a confrontation with Cheng Cheng, Gao Lin suffered a sudden heart attack and, in desperation, ignited a petrol bomb, hoping to die with Cheng Cheng.
Cheng Cheng miraculously survived the explosion, while Gao Lin perished. Two days after the fire, Cheng Cheng remained in critical condition in the intensive care unit. Jiang Yuanxing was consumed by guilt, feeling immense responsibility for his current state. She reflected on the profound sorrow of confronting tragedy only for it to ultimately prevail. The legal consequences for others unfolded. Gao Zijian was imprisoned.
When his mother, Ji Dongmei, visited him, she was met with scorn and hatred in his eyes. He confirmed her prior knowledge of Gao Hongzhi's affair with Li Sixuan before turning his back on her, leaving her to weep. Teng Jun was arrested for financial fraud related to dianjin. com, which also led to his divorce from Gao Shiyao. Li Sixuan decided to leave Jiangyang, while Gao Hongzhi was left alone in his studio, lost in thought, contemplating her departure.
Cheng Cheng eventually awoke but was withdrawn and refused to communicate. Captain Shi visited him in the hospital, urging him to be strong and to live for those who still cared about him. Outside the window, colorful balloons drifted past, triggering a flood of memories for Cheng Cheng: his first meeting with Jiang Yuanxing, their playful exchanges, her comforting words, the small star she gave him, and his promise to always protect her.
Several months later, Lin Zhenhui was sentenced to death for intentional homicide. Teng Jun, Gao Zijian, and Cheng Cheng also received varying prison sentences for their respective crimes. Jiang Yuanxing meticulously gathered all the documents and information related to the Seven Star Town flood and submitted them to the relevant authorities to aid in the investigation of the truth from all those years ago.
Soon after, Jiang Yuanxing resigned from Hongye Group, choosing to embark on a new chapter in her life. During the reading of Gao Guangyi's will, lawyer Gu Tao announced that a substantial portion of his assets would be donated to various charities, with the remaining forty percent to be distributed among the Gao family members.
DNA test results, obtained from a razor that belonged to Li Hao but also contained Cheng Cheng's DNA, confirmed Cheng Cheng as Gao Guangyi's biological son, entitling him to five percent of the inheritance. However, Cheng Cheng declined his inheritance, deciding to donate his five percent shares entirely to the Swan Charity Project, acknowledging it as Jiang Yuanxing's cherished endeavor. After completing his three-month sentence, Jiang Yuanxing waited at the detention center to welcome Cheng Cheng upon his release.
They revisited the skyway where they used to play their "guess car" game, a place filled with shared memories. With tears in their eyes and soft kisses, they poured out their love for each other, vowing to remain together forever and never be separated.
