Careful

  Fleiss is the general manager of Mike's company and has a busy schedule. But today, he turned down all business, picked up someone at the airport in person, and sent him home in person. This person is little Mike, the biological son of his adoptive father, Mr. Mike Sr.

  Old Mike asked the servants to prepare a dinner table early and invited Fleiss to enjoy it. During the banquet, he looked at Fleiss earnestly and said, "The company has been run by you all these years, it's been hard work. Now, my son is also begging you." After speaking, he took out a document from his pocket and placed it in front of the two young people., said, "When I die, my son will take over as chairperson, but as a thank you, I will give you ten percent of the shares, how about that?"

  At this time, Little Mike nodded sincerely and said, "Dad, don't worry, I will inherit the family business well. Fleiss deserves this 10% stake."

  Old Mike was even happier, and immediately picked up a pen and signed the document, saying, "We'll get a lawyer to notarize it another day." After speaking, he solemnly folded the will and put it in his chest pocket.

  The three of them chatted until late at night, when Fleiss got up to say goodbye. On the way home, while recalling Little Mike's smug look, he scolded fiercely: "As soon as the hairy boy comes back, you will make a will to disown me. Bah! Do you treat me as a tool for the company's transition period?" At the same time, he secretly rejoiced: Hmph, luckily I was prepared.

  It turned out that as early as a month ago, he had already obtained a dream from the black market pharmacist Ron. He still remembers when Ron handed the thing to him, explaining: "The ingredients of this medicine are exactly the same as the medicine that old Mike used to treat heart disease. I just slightly changed the order of the atoms in the molecular formula, and the effect of the medicine is the same as that of the original drug. It will slowly stimulate a heart attack."

  Seeing that Fleiss was still worried, Ron laughed and said, "Except for me, no drug expert can detect the subtle difference. And in order to promote absorption, I deliberately used a capsule that melts faster. Don't worry, your money will not be wasted." Fleiss breathed a sigh of relief.

  So for the past month, old Mike has been taking the fake medicine he stole and changed. It's just that Fleiss was good at it, and before little Mike completed his overseas studies and returned to China, old Mike would die. It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and little Mike graduated early. This upset Fleiss a little.

  Perfect plan

  Soon, little Mike quickly became familiar with the company's business. One day, he called Fleiss to the office. As soon as he entered the door, Fleiss found a pile of financial statements on the table, and his heart skipped a beat: He has lost a lot of money gambling with the company's funds in the past two years.

  I only heard little Mike say lightly: "The company's financial situation in the past two years has been a little messy, I am ready to clean it up, I believe everything will be fine. However, my father is not in good health, so don't disturb him about this." Although Fleiss nodded, he thought in his heart: Only the inheritance that old Mike left to himself can make up for this black hole first. So, he decided to take a risk.

  The next day, Fleiss reported a company property dispute to Little Mike, who went on a business trip without saying a word. And Fleiss himself came to Old Mike's house.

  As soon as he entered the bedroom, he saw old Mike sitting under the covers, and the maid was cleaning up the glass scum all over the floor. Fleiss asked what was going on, and the maid said aggrieved: "I was serving old Mr. Mike to take medicine just now, and I accidentally broke the cup."

  Fleiss hurriedly said pleasantly, "Don't take offense at Mr. Mike's bad health and bad mood. It's all right now, you can go about your business." The maid left with relief.

  Fleiss closed the door, turned around and said, "Little Mike just went on a business trip, I came to see you." Then, he pretended to be hesitant, "I shouldn't have said it, but the company..."

  "What happened to the company?" Old Mike immediately asked with concern.

  Fleiss pretended to be helpless and said, "Recently, there have been some financial problems. Little Mike is going to solve the financial lawsuit today. I also heard that he often calls your lawyer to ask about legal issues."

  When old Mike heard this, he hurriedly called his lawyer to come to the house out of breath. Then, he continued to ask: "Fleck, I treat you as my own son, don't hide the situation of the company from me!"

  At this time, Fleiss showed a sly smile, Erlang threw his legs, lit a cigarette, and said www.rensheng5.com: "Of course. I'm here today to tell you everything. In fact, the basket of company finance is all poked by me." Then, he took what he had done over the years one by one.

  I saw Old Mike's eyes widened, unable to say a word, covering his chest, his eyes spinning around.

  Fleiss scoffed: "Looking for medicine? But don't you think this medicine gets worse the more you take it? Hehe, I spent a lot of money on this medicine. I'm here today to get the money that originally belonged to me. I'm really sorry, if you want to blame it, you have to blame your precious son, and the audit found it on me. I just advanced the money in advance. The will is in the safe, right? Don't worry, I know the password, and I'll let everyone see it as soon as possible."

  By this time, old Mike was frozen in anger, motionless. Fleiss hurried forward to check his breath, he was out of breath.

  Fleiss immediately put on his gloves, took out the electric blanket from the cabinet, wrapped Old Mike, and timed it for an hour. In this way, judging from the body temperature, Old Mike's death time would be later than the real time, and the police would not Suspect him.

Afterwards, he took out the will from the safe, thinking about where it would be best to put it? By the way, according to old Mike's habit, put things in his chest pocket.

  He looked at his watch and estimated that when the lawyer arrived, he would just become a witness to the will, and the will would be protected by law, effective, and there would be no variables.

  After doing all this, Fleiss thought carefully again and felt that every link was done in place, which was really seamless.

  A hundred secrets

  Fleiss walked out of the bedroom, went downstairs and said to the servant, "Old Mr. Mike said he wanted to rest for a while and wake him up when the lawyer came. He also told everyone to have dinner together, and I'll go buy a good bottle of wine nearby."

  After speaking, he hurriedly drove to the Red Hotel, specifically found the owner, helped him choose two bottles of good red wine, and then rushed back to Old Mike's house. He thought very thoughtfully: even if someone doubted him, the servant and the hotel owner would be witnesses to his absence. Not long after, the lawyer arrived. After Fleiss hugged him and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go up and wake Mr. Mike up."

  Next, he walked into the room, unplugged the electric blanket as fast as he could, hid it, and then rushed downstairs and shouted, "No, Mr. Mike is dead."

  The lawyer and the servant hurried upstairs, rolled over Old Mike's eyelids, confirmed that he was dead, and quickly called the police.

  The police and the doctor arrived soon, and everything went according to Fleiss' vision. The doctor found out that old Mike had died of a myocardial infarction. According to the body temperature of the deceased, the time of death was about half an hour ago, when Fleiss was shopping for alcohol. In Old Mike's pocket, a piece of paper was found. What Fleiss didn't expect was that the handwriting on the paper was unrecognizable because it was covered with melted capsules and liquid medicine. Although the technicians of the police station carefully repaired it, the handwriting had been corroded by the liquid medicine. And after the technicians identified, the melted capsules and liquid medicine were the medicines that Old Mike usually used to treat heart disease.

  The police officer was puzzled and said, "Why did Mr. Mike put the medicine in his pocket?"

  At this time, the servant on the side suddenly said, "Oh, I remembered, I was about to serve my husband to drink medicine in the morning, but I accidentally broke the cup. When my husband lost his temper with me, he put the medicine in his pocket., he always likes to put things in that pocket."

  The police finally concluded that the piece of paper in Old Mike's pocket was probably a will. The written will was habitually put in the pocket, but the capsule medicine left in the pocket melted and corroded. As for why the capsule melted, the police felt very suspicious and decided to continue the investigation.

  Fleiss was desperate at the moment, and his ears recalled the words of pharmacist Ron not long ago: "In order to absorb faster, I deliberately used a capsule that melts faster." Fleiss never thought that his seamless plan would be destroyed on this seamless capsule.

  Now, he was powerless, and the police had notified Little Mike, who was on a business trip, to go home. Fryce understood that even if the police didn't find out the flaws in the capsule, the black hole of funds he had created for the company would be found out by Little Mike immediately. All his hard work will be in vain.

  At this time, Fleiss came to the yard, looked at the people who came and went to investigate and collect evidence, looked up to the sky and scolded in despair: "Damn capsule!"
