The Sixth Iron Chest chapter 4

A Long – Planned Conspiracy

Five days later, the workers cleared the secret chamber, which had become a pile of ruins, and carried out Jules’ body. After investigation, the local police finally concluded that Jules’ death was due to the sudden collapse of the dilapidated secret chamber. It was purely an accident.

Meanwhile, in another room of the villa, Lawyer Frans was interrogating Dade Hall. Hall got impatient and stood up, shouting, “Alright, Mr. Frans, don’t you want to know the truth? I’ll tell you. Back then, my great – grandmother bribed the craftsman to set up this mechanism in the secret chamber of the villa. As long as the crown is turned, the secret chamber will suddenly collapse. That young man was just too greedy. His death has nothing to do with me.”

“Really?” Frans sneered. “Mr. Hall, if I’m not wrong, you actually knew this secret a long time ago. Why didn’t you tell Jules in advance? The matter is very simple. Once he died, the biggest beneficiary would be you. You could not only get the inheritance rights back in advance but also embezzle the share of the inheritance that Jules deserved. Although you didn’t directly kill him, theoretically speaking, you’re also one of the murderers.”

After hearing this, Hall laughed wickedly and said, “Okay, even if you’re right, but one thing you should not forget. Back then, your great – grandfather was also bribed by my great – grandmother. It was because he provided the content of that will in advance that my great – grandmother was able to design this revenge plan that spanned over two hundred years. So, your great – grandfather is also one of the culprits in this matter, right?”

Frans didn’t know how he walked out of the villa. His mood was extremely bad at this time because his great – grandfather had repeatedly told him before he died that his descendants must protect the descendants of the Osgood family. But now, a living life had died so innocently!

Thinking of this, Frans took out the recording pen with the conversation between him and Dade Hall from his pocket. He would use this as evidence to sue Dade Hall and seek justice for the dead Jules.

So, Frans put the recording pen away, got into his car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove quickly towards the city police station…
