"Alright. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info I'm pretty sure that the tone of this piano is very accurate, the sound is normal, and there shouldn't be anything hidden in it. At the end of the song, Xiao Yao stood up and said.

"Well, I'll look somewhere else. Tim Haggis said helplessly.

Seeing that Tim Haggis was busy, Xiao Yao stopped staying in the living room and went into the bedroom to check.

"Hey Tim, you should come and see this!" Xiao Yao shouted to Tim Haggis outside after opening Wyatt's closet.

"What did you find?" Tim Haggis walked in when he heard the sound, and saw Xiao Yao standing in front of the open wardrobe, so he walked over curiously, looked inside the closet and said, "You won't tell me that he hid drugs or bloodstained clothes in the closet, right?"

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head, turning his head to look at Tim Haggis, "Wyatt's parents are not rich enough to barely afford him to attend Chambers Conservatory, and he only has a job as a part-time pianist in a restaurant for four hours a week, right?"

"Yes. Tim Haggis nodded, "His parents only pay for his tuition, and he works part-time in his own restaurant, which is just enough for him to pay for the rent and daily expenses of this apartment." ”

"So, we have one more reason to suspect him of drug trafficking. Xiao Yao smiled and said to the inside of the closet, "The things in the wardrobe add up to about 30,000 US dollars." ”

"What?" said Tim Haggis, his eyes wide, "just a wardrobe of clothes, shoes, hats, and accessories, so valuable?"

"Well," Xiao Yao nodded, "Just this dress, the value is about five thousand dollars, judging from the position he hung in the wardrobe and the dust accumulation on the transparent dust cover, it is obviously not rented." There are other clothes and shoes, although most of them are casual, but they are all high-end products from well-known brands. Many of them are new models that I have seen in the catalogs of those brands, and they are all new models that have been released in the last six months. ”

"You're yours, you know everything!" Tim Haggis gave a thumbs up, "It looks like this kid is doing something shady, I'll have to look more closely." ”

Tim Haggis returned to the living room outside to continue the search, and Xiao Yao continued to search carefully in the bedroom, but Xiao Yao did not find any other valuable clues except for the valuable clothes in the wardrobe.

When Xiao Yao finished searching the bedroom and turned to the bathroom connected to the bedroom, two detectives with police badges appeared at the door of the apartment.

"Hi Gary, Alex, Mel said the guy who rented here might be involved in drug trafficking, let's come over and have a look. A black-haired female police detective with a ponytail greeted two uniformed officers standing at the door.

"Yes, as soon as that guy heard that the FBI anti-narcotics team agent was coming to him, he closed the door and ran, most likely because of the problem. The uniformed officer named Gary nodded.

"Door?" another young male detective pointed to the door of the apartment that had fallen to the ground and smiled, "When did you become so powerful? When we need the assistance of uniform police officers in the future, can we appoint you to help us?"

"We didn't do it. Another uniformed officer named Alex shook his head.

"Didn't you do it?" said the detective strangely, "his physical fitness is good, but he shouldn't have that much strength, right?"

"Neither is Detective Meyer. Alex continued to shake his head.

"Hello!" the male detective was about to ask again, but Tim Haggis, who heard the movement, had already taken the initiative to greet the two detectives at the door.

The two detectives put aside their conversations with the uniformed officers, walked into the apartment, looked at Tim Haggis and said, "Hello! Are you the FBI agent who helped Meier with his investigation?"

"Yes, FBI agent Tim Haggis. Tim Haggis lifted his suit shirt to reveal the badge pinned around his waist.

"Larry Flagg, this is Anna Valdes. The male detective also introduced himself and his partner, shook hands with Tim Haggis, and then asked, "You are an agent in the FBI Narcotics Unit, and why did you help the murder team in the murder unit's Melcha murder?"

"Actually, I'm from the robbery group. Tim Haggis said.

"But we heard that the suspect ran away because he heard that the F.B.I. was looking for him. Detective Anna Valdés.

"I made a slip of the tongue at the time, I made a mistake. Tim Haggis smiled, "Who knew he had a ghost in his heart, and he showed his feet." ”

"Slips of the tongue are inevitable, but I like yours. Larry smiled knowingly.

"Mel said you have another special adviser, where is he?" Anna asked.

"Inside. He was checking the bedroom and bathroom. Tim Haggis reached out and pointed in the direction of the bedroom.

"Tim! I think I've found something again, I need a tool!" Xiao Yao shouted from the bedroom again.

"Let's take a look. Tim Haggis greeted the two detectives and led the way into the bedroom.

When the three of them came to the door of the bathroom, they saw Xiao Yao kneeling on the ground, pouting his buttocks, his head close to the ground, and he didn't know what he was doing.

"I found something in a crevice in the floor tiles, but I couldn't get it out with my gloves. Xiao Yao didn't look back and said, "Do you have any tools like tweezers on you?"

"Is a knife okay?" Larry pulled out a folded knife from his body.

"It should be possible, uh..." Xiao Yao agreed, and then realized that it was not Tim's voice, so he turned his head curiously. Seeing that there were two unknown people standing at the door besides Tim Haggis, Xiao Yao quickly stood up from the ground.

"NYPD anti-narcotics detective?" Xiao Yaohu asked suspiciously.

"Yes. Tim Haggis nodded and helped, "Detective Larry Flagg, Detective Anna Valdes." ”

"Hello. I'm Jan Shaw. Xiao Yao greeted the two detectives, then stretched out his hand to Larry Flagg and said, "You said you could lend me a knife?" ”

"You're welcome. Larry handed the knife in his hand to Xiao Yao's hand.

Xiao Yao pulled the blade away, turned around and lay on the ground again, carefully picking out something from the gap in the floor tiles.

"Tim, I think I've found a baby!" Xiao Yao looked carefully at the thing on the tip of the knife and shouted with some excitement.

"Really, let me see!" said Tim Haggis with interest.

Xiao Yao turned around and handed the tip of the knife directly in front of Tim Haggis. Picked at the tip of the knife was a small piece of thin white wood.

"A small piece of wood, what's the use of that?" asked Tim Haggis, puzzled. In his eyes, this was just a common crumb, and it was no surprise that it was in any bathroom.

"This is not an ordinary piece of wood," Xiao Yao said seriously, "this thickness, this color, I think this piece of wood comes from the violin horse." I remember the photos I saw at the scene last night, and noticed that there was a photo of a violin belonging to the victim at the scene of the crime, and I remember that the violin in the photo was immediately defective, and it should have been broken when the violin fell to the ground. If the fragment is from the victim's violin and horse, it proves that Wyatt was present at the time of the victim's murder. ”

"Are you sure?" said Tim Haggis, "the victim was Wyatt's ex-girlfriend and must have been to his apartment." Perhaps she came to the apartment with a violin and inadvertently caused the horse to break, leaving it here. Such a small defect, maybe she didn't even notice it herself?"

"Impossible!" Xiao Yao shook his head firmly, "The piano horse is a very important part of the violin, which transmits the vibration of the strings to the panel, causing the entire violin to vibrate together. Some people call it the heart of the violin, and its quality can affect the feel of the player and the performance of the violin. Therefore, a professional violinist will never fail to notice the damage of the piano horse, and will never use a broken piano horse. The victim went to the concert hall to practice, so the damage to the violin in her hand must have happened when she was killed, otherwise she would have replaced the piano. ”

"In that case, then we should immediately send this to the forensic department of the police station, so that the forensic officers can immediately verify whether this piece of fragment came from the violin at the scene. Tim Haggis believed in Xiao Yao's expertise in music and musical instruments, and when he heard Xiao Yao say this, he also became excited, and turned to the two detectives and said, "Detectives, did any of you bring evidence bags?"

The two detectives were a little confused, didn't Meier say that the suspect was suspected of drug trafficking, why didn't the drugs be found, and found the evidence of his murder first?

However, they also understood the conversation between Xiao Yao and Tim Haggis, and Anna Valdes immediately took out a small transparent plastic bag and said to Xiao Yao: "Put it in." ”

When Xiao Yao put the small pieces on the tip of the knife into the plastic bag, Anna immediately shouted outside the door, "Gary, please come here." ”

The uniformed police officer called Gary immediately ran in and asked Anna, "Anna, what's the matter?"

"Please, take this to the police station at once, and give it to Mel. Anna handed the small plastic bag to Gary, "Tell Maier to forensically determine if this piece belonged to the victim's violin and horse found at the scene." It could prove whether Wyatt was present at the scene of the crime that night. ”

"Are you going to go back to the police station with you, or are you going to stay here and continue the search?" Anna asked Tim Haggis and Xiao Yao.

Mel and they briefly briefed the situation, knowing that their main purpose was to assist Mel in the investigation of the murder, and the drug-related situation was only discovered by accident during the investigation.

"I want to stay here and see if there's anything else to discover. Xiao Yao said.

In terms of forensics, Xiao Yao can't help, and now when he goes back to the police station, he can only sit and wait for the results of the forensic department, so it is better to continue to stay here to find more evidence.

"Then I'll leave right back to the police station right now. Gary carefully put the plastic bag in his pocket.

After the uniformed officers left, the search continued. Anna and Larry simply split up their work, Anna helped Xiao Yao continue to search the bathroom, and Larry went to help Tim search the living room.

After inspecting the floor, Xiao Yao carefully inspected the wall below the sink, and then aimed at the cabinet with a mirror above the sink.

This wooden cabinet is not embedded in the wall, but hangs directly on the wall. Xiao Yao first checked the exterior of the locker and found nothing wrong, then reached out and opened the door of the cabinet inlaid with mirrors. Inside the cabinet are some common items, nothing special. But when Xiao Yao saw the side wall inside the locker, there was a strange look in his eyes.

After thinking about it, Xiao Yao reached out and directly pulled out all the things in the locker and put them in the dry sink. After emptying the locker, Xiao Yao reached out and touched the wooden board in the innermost part of the locker.

Xiao Yao's actions caught the attention of Anna, who was also checking the bathtub and shower in the bathroom. Turning his head to see Xiao Yao emptying the locker, Anna also walked over and asked curiously, "Is there a problem with this cabinet?"

As she spoke, Anna reached out and knocked on the innermost plank, and when she heard the sound was quite deep, it seemed to be solid, so she frowned and said, "Listening to the sound, it doesn't look like there is a mezzanine." ”

"But the depth inside and outside is different. Xiao Yao said to Anna. As he spoke, he compared the width of the outer side planks of the locker with the width of the inner side planks, and the difference between the two was significantly greater than the thickness of the planks.

Xiao Yao reminded her, and Anna also found a problem. Reaching out and fumbling in the locker for a while, but couldn't find a way to open the wooden plank inside, in desperation, she could only shout: "Larry, we may have found something, we need your knife here!" Xiao Yao put the small piece of wood into the plastic bag just now, and returned the knife to Larry.

"Don't bother, can you let me come?" Xiao Yao patted Anna on the shoulder and motioned for her to stand aside.

Anna stepped aside suspiciously, and saw Xiao Yao's right hand slowly clenching into a fist, and then slammed it on the wooden board on the back of the inside of the locker. The locker was nailed firmly and did not fall from the wall, but the wooden board on the back of the interior had been shattered by Xiao Yao's punch, and a fist-sized piece collapsed inward.

Anna was startled by Xiao Yao's movements, and looked at Xiao Yao with wide eyes.

Tim and Larry, who heard Anna's shouts, were already walking to the bedroom, but when they heard a loud noise, they quickly ran two steps to the bathroom.

"Yang, we have other ways to open the compartment of the locker, do you have to be so violent?" Tim saw the crack on the wooden board inside the locker at a glance, and knew that it was Xiao Yao's masterpiece without even thinking about it, and smiled helplessly wryly, "This is not as urgent as you kicked the door just now." ”

"Did he do that?" Larry looked at Anna in surprise, then turned to Xiao Yao and said, "And that door you kicked down too?"

"Do you think I can punch the planks of a locker like this?" Anna said helplessly, rolling her eyes.

"Hey, shouldn't your focus now be on what's inside?" Xiao Yao had already seen the white in the cracks, reached out and broke off the broken pieces of wood, and said with a smile, "Wyatt is obviously wrong, do I still need to compensate his apartment door and this locker?"

The three of them followed Xiao Yao's movements and looked into the locker, and were pleasantly surprised to find that the location of the hole revealed the white powder packed in a plastic bag.
