Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Visit to Liu's House
Behind Hou Hong, Yuan Hui'e, who had just opened for a short time, actually never left, she always stared at Hou Hong's distant figure, after Hou Hong entered the spice shop, Yuan Hui'e still wanted to come forward to care, by the way, but what happened later made her unexpected, she also witnessed the whole incident, and it can be said that she was the first person to see Hou Hong die.
Yuan Hui'e was shocked, her legs were weak with fright, she didn't know whether to walk over, hesitated for a few seconds, she still didn't have the courage to take a look at Hou Hong's death at the moment, she could only shout loudly that something was wrong, let the security personnel of the vegetable market and others deal with it, and then she went around to the other side and escaped from the vegetable market from other paths.
"It's horrible, it's horrible!"
As soon as Yuan Hui'e arrived at the door of the house, she kept shouting, and her husband Liu Changshou was reading the newspaper at home, puzzled by his wife's sudden performance, and asked what happened.
Yuan Hui'e saw a glass of water on the table, picked it up and raised her head, and drank it all before she calmed down a little. She sat next to Liu Changshou and told all the things she saw in the vegetable market that Hou Hong was killed by a roast duck hook.
After listening to this, Liu Changshou put down the newspaper in his hand and frowned. He didn't care about Hou Hong's death, because he wasn't really familiar with this woman, but he thought of his son Liu Xiaoquan's prophecy. If you used to think that your son was talking nonsense at home, but this time I experienced it myself, and I couldn't help but believe it.
In the ropeway prophecy of Monkey Island, the order predicted by Liu Xiaoquan is surprisingly consistent with the current order of death, if that is the case, even everyone in his own family is in the danger of death, which makes him shudder.
On the other hand, after Chen Tianyu and the four of them left Ji's house, they held a brief discussion meeting on the case, but they didn't know at the time that Hou Hong had died in the vegetable market shortly after they left.
"Yiting, Director Ji's side is responsible for the security of their home, and at the same time, you have to carry out the necessary surveillance, you know what I mean. Chen Tianyu commanded first.
Liu Yiting nodded, I have worked together for so long, this hint is still clear, there is no need to say it all, it is natural to protect all potential victims now, but it is also necessary to take precautions. In other words, as long as they don't die, there is also suspicion.
"What about Liu Xiaoquan's family, in order, his family should also arrive. Shen Mingyue interjected, and at the same time, because Liu Xiaoquan was his classmate, he had to pay a little attention to him.
Chen Tianyu recognized Shen Mingyue's words very much, and he then analyzed, "In addition to the danger of the Liu family, it is also time for us to meet this Liu Xiaoquan, after all, this matter was the first to be discovered by him, and no one can tell us what his real situation is, so we must go over and see what kind of environment he lives in on weekdays, which may be beneficial to us." ”
Shen Mingyue agreed very much, and said with a smile, "What the captain said is good, then let's go over now, shall we?"
"Don't worry, listen to me first......"
Chen Tianyu is not so anxious, as the captain of Beiting, he also has to worry about the sophistication of the world, and he can't say that he will go to whom's house. The other party is not a criminal, and he has not been harmed, so he can completely ignore Beiting, and his family seems to be unimpressed by Liu Xiaoquan's language, if he interrupts rashly, it is likely to make the conversation very difficult.
First of all, Chen Tianyu called Kuangsuo and asked him to rush directly to the door of Liu's house to meet him, hoping to use Kuangsuo's memory ability to grasp all the details of the Liu family as much as possible.
Then he asked Shen Mingyue to get in touch with Liu Xiaoquan, Chen Tianyu knew that the two of them had known each other for many years, and Liu Xiaoquan had always had a good impression of her, so it was easier to operate. Sure enough, for Shen Mingyue's agreement, Liu Xiaoquan agreed to the Beiting Detective Agency to be a guest at his house on the phone, and promised that his parents were also waiting at home.
In fact, for Liu Xiaoquan, this is exactly the opportunity he dreamed of, Shen Mingyue took the initiative to find himself on the one hand, but more importantly, there are finally people who are willing to believe and listen to his language, and it is also the famous Beiting Detective Agency, if they can really help themselves and break this prophecy to save the lives of their families, they really have hope.
After Liu Xiaoquan put down the phone, he mustered up the courage to find his father Liu Changshou and truthfully reported the content of Shen Mingyue's phone. He thought that his father would definitely oppose it, and even thought of a way to deal with him, but to his surprise, his father did not lose his temper or ignore it as before, but acquiesced to the appointment.
In fact, Liu Changshou has also heard of Beiting, but he is not too willing to deal with Beiting too much, after all, he is a business, and it is inevitable that there will be some dark box operations in his work, wandering on the edge of policies and laws. Even though he is also cautious, trying not to break the law, let alone doing something illegal and criminal, but more or less, there are still many things that cannot be said on the surface, so he never wants to have too much contact with detectives.
But this time, he had to do it, Hou Hong's death once again confirmed the prophecy of his son Liu Xiaoquan, if it continues like this, he and his family will not be spared, which no one can tolerate. And he himself is obviously powerless about this matter, but if he just predicts that something will happen, he will call the police, and he will definitely not be protected, if he wants to have a way out, he really has to rely on these detectives. Therefore, Shen Mingyue's call arrived at the right time, and Liu Changshou felt a little more comfort in his heart.
Chen Tianyu and his entourage met with Kuangsuo downstairs at Liu's house, and they came to Liu Xiaoquan's house together. Because Liu Xiaoquan had already told his parents, Liu Changshou and Yuan Hui'e were not surprised by the visit to Beiting, and they were also prepared.
Liu Changshou was still sitting in the middle of the sofa, leaning on his back and saying with a smile, "I've heard of the name of Beiting for a long time, it's really rare, you will come to the door, our family is really honored!"
Liu Yiting waved his hand again and again, took over and said, "Mr. Liu, you don't have to be too polite, we also know that your career is very successful, we took the liberty to come today, we really bothered a lot, delaying your time, I'm really sorry." ”
"Where, no matter how busy I am, I am not as busy as a detective, there must be a lot of difficult cases waiting to be dealt with. ”
Both sides were very polite, which made Chen Tianyu a little unable to sit still, they didn't come to praise each other, so they gave Shen Mingyue a look.
Shen Mingyue comprehended, tugged on Liu Xiaoquan's sleeve and asked, "Last time we left on the ropeway on Monkey Island, whether your prediction was true or false, can you be sure now?"
Hearing Shen Mingyue ask herself personally, Liu Xiaoquan felt happy in his heart, but in front of his parents and so many people, he had to restrain the excitement in his heart, and replied seriously, "To be honest, that prophecy was just formed automatically in my mind, and I can't judge whether it is true or false, but one thing is certain, that is, what is happening now is really very similar to what I thought." ”
After cutting to the point, it was good to chat, Liu Yiting asked some more about what Liu Xiaoquan experienced in advance in Hou Island that day, and asked very carefully. Before this, they didn't care, but they just listened to it, and now they can be regarded as the biggest breakthrough in this aspect, so Liu Xiaoquan told him eloquently, and no one will think of him anymore.
Between Liu Xiaoquan's serious retelling, Chen Tianyu leaned over to Liu Changshou and quietly asked him a question in a low voice, "Mr. Liu, do you believe what your son is saying now?"
Liu Changshou and Yuan Hui'e looked at each other, hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded slightly.
This is strange, Chen Tianyu was very puzzled in his heart, listening to Shen Mingyue say that Liu Xiaoquan's parents have always scoffed at their son's supernatural remarks, so he had some concerns and made a lot of preparations before coming here, but he didn't expect that Liu Changshou and Yuan Hui'e would change so quickly, something must have happened in this, otherwise it would never be like this.
Liu Xiaoquan repeated the foreseen events in one breath, and after speaking, his mouth was dry, so he got up and poured water to drink. Taking this opportunity, Kuang Suo accompanied him, in fact, to take the opportunity to inspect the situation of the Liu family.
Liu Xiaoquan's home is not small, there are four bedrooms alone, one for Liu Changshou and his wife Yuan Hui'e, located on the south side, Liu Xiaoquan and his sister Liu Xu'er are in two houses on the north side, and there is a smaller room on the east side. There was a bookcase inside, but there were not many other books, but against the wall, a triangular easel was placed, on which were still oil paintings with undried ink.
"This is what I painted, is it pretty?" Liu Xu'er asked at some point when he followed Kuangsuo into the study, and when he was about to touch the drawing board with his hand.
Kuang Suo saw this lovely little girl in front of him, his serious face suddenly relaxed a lot, and he praised again and again, "It's very good, I didn't expect such a big canvas for you to be able to draw by a little girl, it's really not simple." ”
Hearing the praise, the corners of Liu Xu'er's eyes curled up, and she smiled sweetly, "Thank you for the compliment, it's just my hobby, this study is usually not used, because my father works outside, and when I come home, I just sit on the sofa in the living room and read newspapers and TV, and my brother doesn't like to read books at all, so this house has become my studio." ”
Liu Yuer took the initiative to take out some of the completed works placed on the table and spread them on the floor for Kuangsuo to enjoy. Kuangshuo also watched with great interest, and from time to time he commented on the general, naturally praising the exquisite painting of Liu Wuer. It's just that Kuang Shuo is not particularly good at paintings, he just looks good and praises them casually, the important thing is that he found something special in these paintings, so he wanted to take the opportunity to read them one by one.
Sure enough, after reading all the oil paintings spread out by the catkins, Kuang Suo found a strange thing, that is, although the paintings were of different styles and uneven levels, the contents of the paintings coincided and all of them were abstract animals, without exception. The animals, such as tigers and lions, as well as swans and kangaroos, do not depict the whole picture, and by the color of the background, the animals appear abstract and blurry on the paper, and can only be roughly distinguished from the outline and perception.
Kuang Suo was very puzzled, so he asked her, "Why don't you draw these animals more clearly?"
"Well, because, because it has to be abstract, it's beautiful. Liu Wu'er was asked, and replied hesitantly.
"I know animals are abstract, but why are they so abstract?" asked Kuang Shuo further.
"Because hazy beauty is real beauty, if it is all drawn, it will not be abstract!"
Although Liu Yu'er was still laughing, her expression was already a little embarrassed, and she couldn't answer Kuangshuo's question. Kuang Suo also immediately gave up the question, and the answers were abstract and hazy again and again, but when he asked why he painted like this, Liu Wuer couldn't say it at all, and finally returned to the original point.
After another turn, the pattern of the Liu family had all been left in his mind, and Kuang Suo returned to the living room.
During this period, Yuan Hui'e told the Beiting Detective Agency about the fact that she saw Hou Hong being stabbed to death by hooking in the vegetable market. She was already frightened, and when she said it again, it was like a reappearance of the scene, her eyes were wide, and she was already trembling a little as if she had returned to the vegetable market, Liu Changshou held his wife's hand distressedly, and kept comforting her after she finished speaking.
It seems that the bad luck not only does not stop, but is becoming more and more imminent, Chen Tianyu and they feel heavy pressure, they didn't expect that Hou Hong, the wife of Director Ji who they had just met, actually passed away unexpectedly not long after separating from them, which made the Liu family's originally good atmosphere suddenly fall into silence.
"Okay, let's talk about it here today!" Liu Yiting ended the conversation with a sense of humor, and said to Liu Changshou, "Madame was very frightened today, so let's have a good rest at home, and we will also arrange manpower to protect the members of your family, please rest assured." ”
This was originally a comforting word, but it made Liu Changshou even more uneasy, "What?protection? Do you mean that my family and I will be killed like Hou Hong and them at any time in the future?"
Liu Yiting and Chen Tianyu looked at each other, he couldn't answer this question. He also knew that what he said was a bit reckless, but it was sincere, in the current situation, for the Liu family and the Ji family, they were all on the cusp, even if they were worried, it was better than suddenly losing their lives.
In the end, Shen Mingyue explained a few words to Liu Xiaoquan, telling him to stay at home with his family as much as possible, and to contact him at any time if he had something.
