Chapter 14: Five Gathered
The four friends carefully looked around the ash, and found nothing, so they had to walk to the river, and walked along the river bank to the place where Renai was found, and the friends stood on the embankment, looking at the deep river.
Jiang Jingtong suddenly frowned and said, "Lian Nai and Ai Pingping were both found in the river, but the river is so deep, if the murderer is trying to hide his traces, shouldn't he sink the body into the water? Why were they discovered so quickly?"
This is indeed very strange, the friends looked at the river and fell into thinking - thinking for a long time, but they didn't come up with a reason, a few friends walked back while thinking.
At this time, Jiang Jingtong felt the mobile phone in his pocket vibrating.
Jiang Jingtong picked it up and saw that it was Lan Keyes - so fast!
Jiang Jingtong picked up the phone.
Lan Keith said, "The case file will be sent in a moment, you can come to my house to see it!"
Jiang Jingtong was silent for three seconds and said, "Where is your home?"
Lan Caisi said with a smile in his tone: "I have already asked the car to pick you up, and the driver will contact you when you arrive!"
Jiang Jingtongmo!
Lan Keith smiled even more in his tone: "See you later, remember, I'm here to help you!"
Jiang Jingtong continued to be silent.
In a string of laughter from Lan Kaisi, Jiang Jingtong hung up the phone and watched Lang Fei copy Lan Kaisi's words: "Remember, I'm helping you!"
Lang Feimo!
In less than twenty minutes, Jiang Jingtong received a phone call, the car sent by Lan Keyes to pick them up arrived, and the friends went to the entrance of the school's parking lot, which was a sassy Aston Martin DB7, the car was a good car, but there was a problem, four tall and long-legged friends plus the driver - it would be a little crowded.
Wren looked at the car and said to the driver, "All four of us are sitting in it, it's too crowded, you drive in front." I drove the car and my classmates followed. With that, Wren came to a Porsche 911 and opened the door to beckon his friends to get into the car.
Although Rennes's Porsche 911 is not as good as Aston Martin in terms of market price, Rennes's car is modified, and you can buy an Aston Martin for the modification fee, which is very famous in the school.
Well, both are good cars, the Chinese Three Musketeers looked at each other, among the three people, as a car, Ouyang Le, who knows cars and cars, feels that in such a situation, don't show off your Mercedes-Benz E55AMG!
As for Jiang Jingtong and Lang Fei - these two babies don't have cars!
Jiang Jingtong himself does not have a driver's license, because he is used to picking up and sending cars in China, after coming to country Y, his main range of activities is near the campus, and he will return to China after completing his studies, so he has never considered buying a car in country Y;
Now Wren beckons his friends to get in the car, uh, the friends are more familiar with Wren, but they have to ask Lan Keyes, this kind of behavior of people sending a car to pick them up, but not getting up, is it the rhythm of slapping people in the face?
Jiang Jingtong glanced at Ouyang Le and Lang Fei, signaling them to get into the car sent by Lan Keith, while he pushed his glasses and got into Ren's car, and said, "Just let us sit separately so as not to squeeze!"
The corners of Wren's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Jiang Jingtong before sitting in the driver's seat.
The two cars drove one after the other, and drove for more than forty minutes, and came to the mansion of the Ernest family, which was actually a castle in the eyes of Jiang Jingtong and others-pure European style, and it is said that it was left by the lord and duke of the earliest Ernest family.
The shape of the whole castle is a bit like the Chinese mountain character, divided into the main part and the left and right wings, the middle part of the main part is slightly higher, and the other two wings are about the same height and scale, if the three parts are separated, they can become a luxury villa.
Looking at the castle of the Lan Keith family, the friends inexplicably remembered the castle where the vampire count lived in "Four Hundred Years of Horror" - it seems!
Wren followed the driver to park the car, and then the four friends got out of the car and followed the driver's guidance to the door of Lan Caiss's "home".
Behind the white-gloved, well-dressed butler stood two rows of uniformly dressed male and female maids.
Seeing the four little friends, the housekeeper stepped forward and bowed slightly respectfully: "The young master is waiting for a few people in the guest lounge, please come with me." ”
The friends glanced at each other, and they had a little stomach ache for the pomp and circumstance that Lan Keith made.
As the housekeeper walked through the long corridor covered with red carpet and got on the elevator, to the so-called "guest lounge" on the third floor, the friends went in and found that the "hall" was really a bit narrow, which was exactly like the five-star presidential suite, as soon as you entered the door, it was a spacious, bright and luxuriously decorated main hall, with a magnificent crystal chandelier overhead, a mahogany floor with a Persian carpet at the foot, and a bar room, tea room, billiard room, chess and card room, screening table, dance floor and song ordering table, There's even an indoor fountain, comfortable and wide sofas scattered around the room, potted plants and flower arrangements on slender stands with intricate carvings, and a few elegant crafts complement the colorful paintings on the walls.
Master Lan Caisi sat in a large sofa, dressed in light blue loungewear, with a fine woolen shoulder, a cup of warm tea in his hand exuding a curling aroma, and several large cardboard boxes full of dossiers were placed on the coffee table in front of him.
Seeing that Jiang Jingtong and the others had arrived, Lan Kesi got up from the sofa and smiled to welcome, and the housekeeper retreated to the door and let the friends enter the hall.
The four little friends rushed in, and sat down on the sofa next to Lankes, where a maid brought tea and snacks, which were served in a set of gold-rimmed teacups, in a tray covered with a layer of lace, and the plate for the snacks was a small plate of the same color as the teacups—every detail was full of aristocratic style.
The butler and maid set the tea and snacks before leaving quietly.
Lan Keith picked up the tea and said to a few people with a smile: "Try it, authentic Assam (British famous black tea), it tastes good!"
Assam black tea is produced in the Assam Valley in the foothills of the Himalayas in northeastern India. The shape of the tea leaves is thin and flat, the color is dark brown, the soup color is dark red and slightly brown, with a faint malt aroma, rose fragrance, the taste is strong, it is a strong tea, the famous product in the absolute name, but——
Lang Fei: "We're here to investigate the case, not to drink tea!"
Lan Keith didn't mind, but smiled faintly, and tapped the box on the coffee table in front of him with his chin: "Everything you want is there!"
"So many?" the friends looked at a few boxes with a little surprise.
Lan Caisi shrugged: "I asked them to bring the case files of our school, and they took so many of them, I looked at not only the files of Ai Pingping and Shimizu Rena's cases, but also the kidnapping case." ”
Uh-it seems, the police department is really responsive to the Ernest family!
Since the files were all brought, the friends were not polite, and moved a few boxes to the table in the chess and card room in the hall, everyone pushed the chess and cards aside, and began to flip through the files one by one.
After watching it for a while, the friends began to ask Lan Kaisi for pen and paper and make key notes-everyone regretted a little bit that they didn't bring their laptops over-at first, Lan Kaisi was just watching the excitement, watching the four friends write and write notes and work hard - this sub-record, analysis and comparison, classification and summary and drawing key points, if you don't know that they are investigating the case, it really looks like a research group, so I watched Lan Kaisi also go to take this file on a whim and flip through it, and then- There is one more busy partner, and at this point, the five friends who have experienced the kidnapping together and successfully escaped are officially combined - uh, collect all five and don't know if you can summon the dragon!
In the busy time of the little friends, the housekeeper came to change the hot tea for the little friends, but the few little friends who were engrossed in seeking, analyzing and sorting out the case didn't pay attention at all, and before you knew it, more than two hours later, the elusive housekeeper appeared again to remind his young master that it was time for lunch.
At this time, the chess and card table has been covered with files, each partner has a file in his hand, and a lot of key points are written on the paper in front of him, there are scattered records, curves are drawn, and tables are made - they are all students studying in top universities, and their ability to learn, analyze, compare, and summarize is very strong, and the information and comparison of several cases are gradually clear in their outline.
Lan Keith looked at everyone and said, "So much information is not something that can be read at one time, let's go to lunch first, and we'll continue when we come back." ”
As soon as the friends thought that this was indeed the case, they temporarily put down the dossier and pen and paper in hand, and followed Lan Caith to the restaurant.
This is an ordinary lunch, the dishes are meat and vegetarian matching, the table etiquette is very relaxed, the friends are worried about the case and don't care about what they eat, and they ended the lunch again and went back to the chess and card room to continue to analyze and summarize.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the housekeeper came to ask Lan Kaisi if he wanted to prepare afternoon tea, and Lan Kaisi signaled yes.
At this time, each of the friends read almost all the files.
Originally, the kidnapping case had nothing to do with the case of Rena Shimizu and Ai Pingping, but because they experienced it personally, all the friends also watched it together, and this look found a problem, because now the police have locked the suspect in the case on a student-Ryuta Kizawa, and Ryuta Kizawa was killed by the kidnappers when the kidnapping occurred, but the police searched out his contact information with the kidnappers from his mobile phone call records, emails, and laptops- This is embarrassing, and what is even more embarrassing is that Ryuta Kizawa is the boyfriend of Harumi Toyama who escaped from the activity center with five friends!
The friends are not calm, especially Ouyang Le, Karina died in the explosion caused by the kidnappers, if they save the girlfriend of the person who colluded with the kidnappers, how can he be embarrassed!
Ouyang Le was a little unsteady and said with a pen on the notes he made: "In the first case, Ai Pingping was Harumi Toyama's roommate, and in the second case, the suspect who the police locked up in collusion with the kidnappers was Ryuta Kagezawa, although he died, but the police believed that he was killed by the kidnappers, Ryuta Kizawa was Harumi Toyama's boyfriend, and in the third case, Rena was Harumi Toyama's good friend, and these cases were all related to Harumi Toyama!"
Lang Fei looked at Ouyang Le: "Do you suspect that the murderer is Harumi Toyama?"
Ouyang Le's tone was uncertain: "It shouldn't be, right?" Ai Pingping's autopsy report said that the forensic doctor detected PM2 (a kind of mystery// drug) in her body, Ai Pingping's cause of death was asphyxiation caused by anaphylactic shock, it should be that she was allergic to this drug, and she was sexually assaulted before she died, and there were traces of violence/sex/behavior/behavior on her body, Harumi Toyama will never go to the fascination/.rape./Ai Pingping!"
Jiang Jingtong twisted his long eyebrows and pondered: "We thought that it was the same person who killed Ai Pingping and killed Renai, but Renai's autopsy report said that Rena had traces of being hit with a blunt object in the back of her head, but it was not a fatal injury, and her real cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation," Jiang Jingtong looked around at his little friend and said:" Last night, we all saw the strangulation marks on Rena's neck, and now the autopsy has also determined that Rena was strangled, and the autopsy report says that Rena was not sexually assaulted, so judging from the modus operandi to the characteristics of the deceased, the person who killed Ai Pingping and the person who killed Rena may not be the same person. It's just that they all took off their clothes and threw their bodies in the river, so people intuitively think that they were committed by the same murderer!"
Wren thought for a while and said: "But it can't be ruled out that it's the same murderer, but for the first time, he used drugs, which caused Ai Pingping to die of allergies, so he used a blunt force to hurt Rena when he attacked him, but it may have been a resistance or other circumstances that strangled Rena." ”
Lang Fei only felt a heart jam, he couldn't imagine what happened to Renai before he died, should he be glad that at least Renai's death was not as humiliating as Ai Pingping?
Lan Kaisi pointed to the file of the bombing case and said: "I don't know about the case of Ai Pingping and Shimizu Rena, but the police think that Jing Ze Ryuta is a suspect in collusion with the kidnappers. ”
"What's suspicious?" the four friends asked in unison.
Lan Caith pointed to himself, "I am the president of the Brotherhood, you know!"
The friends nodded.
The Big C Brotherhood is a small group of some rich children, and those who enter this club are either rich or expensive, sometimes because they are powerful on campus, and they are called "Evil Young Gang" by their classmates, and the young master Lan Keith in front of them is recognized as the boss of the Evil Young Gang - this is known to Master C.
Lan Kaisi said: "Jing Ze Ryuta is a member of the Brotherhood, I know him well, I don't think he will be a person who colludes with the kidnappers, how to say it" Lan Kaisi frowned and paused as if to organize the language, "That's it, Jing Ze Ryuta is not a smart person!"
Jiang Jingtong snorted lightly: "If it was really him who colluded with the kidnappers to kidnap his classmates but was killed by the kidnappers, then he is indeed not smart." ”
Lan Kaisi shook his head: "That's not what it means, you don't know Ryuta Kizawa, he is the eldest grandson of the president of the Japanese Kyuzawa Foundation, and he is likely to be the next president, so Ryuta Kagezawa is a person with financial resources and background, and we accepted him into the brotherhood because he can afford to pay the membership dues, and he is proficient in swordsmanship." Saying that, Lan Kaisi looked at Jiang Jingtong: "He and you are both Orientals, your Oriental swordsmanship is different from ours, your swordsmanship is like a dance, and his swordsmanship is more aggressive." ”
Jiang Jingtongmo, in the West, swordsmanship is an aristocratic sport, how can he explain to a British nobleman that the Bagua Taiji Sword he practiced is only to strengthen the body and not to attack people, he thinks that he will not understand if he explains Lan Caisi, this is a cultural difference, so he simply don't talk about it.
Lang Fei and Ouyang Le were muttering in their hearts: In our China, the kind of swordsmanship that Jiang Jingtong dances is used by the elderly in the park to exercise, stretch their arms, kick and kick, and the sword, that is a prop, you can't expect a group of grandparents to carry swords in the park and cut people like old boys - our Chinese performance Bagua Tai Chi Sword is really not the same thing as British swordsmanship and Japanese kendo!
Lan Kaisi saw that Jiang Jingtong didn't speak, and he didn't talk about this topic anymore, but thought about it: " How to say it, Jing Ze Ryuta is a relatively straight and stubborn person, but he is definitely the person at the top of the wealth, for a simple example, he has a - Lexus IS convertible sports car, this car is only 100,000 pounds, and he spent nearly 200,000 pounds to modify, so he spent 300,000 pounds (equivalent to about 3 million yuan) for a car, but you see that although the kidnappers in the kidnapping case asked for 100 million pounds at the beginning, but finally agreed to release people for 30 million pounds, and now the police have identified 14 kidnappers, so on average, a kidnapper can't even share 3 million, which is almost the same as pocket money for Ryota JingzawaHow could he collude with someone to kidnap for this money?"
