It was already two days later, and Liu Yan was obediently coding words at home, when suddenly a phone call came and the phone was connected.

"Hey. ”

"Sister-in-law, I'm Zhang Qian. ”

It turned out to be this kid, Liu Yan was going to settle accounts with him, but she came to the door by herself.

Liu Yan said, "You kid, what's wrong?"

The voice on the phone was a little urgent, "Something is wrong, sister-in-law is a big problem." ”

Liu Yan's expression suddenly became serious, and it didn't seem to be a joke, "What's the matter, Zhang Qian? ”

"That's right, Master Lin, the owner of the villa I went to with you that day, he suddenly committed suicide. ”

Like a thunderbolt from the blue, Liu Yan stiffened all of a sudden, how could it be? He was a rich man, he wanted money, he had power, and what else could he not get? Why did he commit suicide?

Liu Yan immediately shook her head, "Impossible, right? Why is that happening?"

"You come here, our police have cordoned off the scene, and the police station above has also sent people over. ”

As if the matter was very serious, Liu Yan said, "Okay, then I'll go, you wait for me at the door, that's it, I'll hang up." After speaking, Liu Yan hung up the phone.

He stood up, bent down and closed the computer, picked up his personal bag, turned around and went straight up the stairs, and ran downstairs at once.

When he first arrived, Zhang Qian was waiting outside the villa, and when he saw Liu Yan riding over, he hurriedly walked over to greet him, "Sister-in-law, you are here." ”

Liu Yan got out of the car and locked the car, "Zhang Qian, what's the matter?"

Zhang Qian grabbed Liu Yan's hand and walked inside, "Let's talk while walking." ”

Liu Yan was about to open her mouth to stop the hand, but then she didn't, but said, "Hey, what are you going to do?"

"Something is wrong, Master Lin, he committed suicide in his room. ”

Liu Yan was still skeptical, "No, do you think it's possible?"

"At first, I thought it was impossible, but it's already true. ”

Liu Yan frowned, is it really fake? Today is not April 1st, and April Fool's Day has already passed; it is already the middle of the year.

After Zhang Qian took Liu Yan to Master Lin's room, Liu Yan really believed it, covered her mouth, and looked at this scene in amazement.

A corpse lying on the bed, dressed in wide white pajamas, with a pair of dead eyes; this is the once majestic and domineering Master Lin; but now it looks a little vicissitudes, no different from ordinary people, they have become a corpse without temperature.

Seeing this scene, Liu Yan felt a little sorry, a very good person, would even think about committing suicide.

Zhang Qian stretched out a hand and kept shaking it in front of Liu Yan's eyes, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law." ”

At this time, a senior policeman walked over, and Liu Yan noticed that there were so many people in the room, in addition to Zhang Qian and Song Tao, as well as the housekeeper in this villa, but this housekeeper was a little awkward no matter how he looked at it, as if he had changed someone; in addition, there were three more senior policemen.

The senior policeman who came over spoke concisely and directly said, "Hello, you are Detective Liu Yan, right? You have been in contact with Master Lin, can I ask you some questions?"

Liu Yan nodded, "Well, you can." ”

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation, I would like to ask, when did you see the deceased?"

Liu Yan thought about it carefully, "If I remember correctly, it was April 5th, when Master Lin was still amiable, but when he took out the envelope, his face changed. ”

After listening, the senior policeman was silent for a moment, "Oh, is that so?" After speaking, he pointed to a large envelope on the table in the room, "Is that what you are?"

Liu Yan turned her head and looked in the direction of his finger, there were many envelopes on the table, folded very high, out of curiosity, Liu Yan walked over and began to check them one by one.

After checking for a while, I saw a missing number, which was 4.3, which means that the envelope on this day still appeared, but it was not found.

Seeing this, Liu Yan continued to flip through the rest of the envelopes, and it was certain that every envelope, it appeared every day, that is, there was no break at all.

Liu Yan took the envelope of April 3, opened it and looked at it, according to the rules, it read, 10.1;4.2;4.3;

Turning his head, he said to the senior officer, "Hello officer, what should I call you?"

"My name is Lin Chong, you can call me Officer Lin. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a police officer, disrespectful, disrespectful, I want to ask, where did you find this envelope?" Liu Yan shook the envelope in her hand, and then handed it to Officer Lin.

Officer Lin took the envelope and checked the contents of the letter, "4.3; if the estimate is correct, it should have appeared on April 3, and according to our search, it was found in the basement." ”

Then the question arises, "Excuse me, when you found the envelope, did you find anything else?"

Officer Lin hesitated for a moment, thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head, "No, there is nothing else to be found here." ”

"So, are there any other anomalies?"

"Why do you ask that, is there something wrong with this envelope?" Officer Lin asked Liu Yan instead.

Liu Yan could only answer truthfully, "I don't know the specifics, but I didn't see this envelope from April 3 when I came, which means that it wasn't found at that time, so I was curious." ”

Officer Lin nodded and understood, "Oh, so that's the case, so tell me about it, when you came, was there any strange phenomenon?"

"This~. Liu Yan paused for a moment, and then said, "That's the case, when I came over with Zhang Qian, I stayed in the room all the time, and I only saw the security guard, the housekeeper, and Master Lin." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yan paused for a longer time, and finally continued, "I remember, butler, when I went to prepare tea, I went for a long time, maybe nearly twenty minutes. ”

This is indeed suspicious, and Officer Lin called the butler and asked him to testify in person.

But when the housekeeper came, Liu Yan was dumbfounded all of a sudden, where did she know this person? A neat suit is not wrong, but the physique and appearance are too bad, where is there still an old-fashioned appearance, and he is a novice housekeeper who is only about twenty years old and close to thirty.

Liu Yan was embarrassed for a moment, and asked, "You, who are you?"

The housekeeper pointed to himself, "I'm the new housekeeper, Zhou Jiabin." ”

Zhou Jiabin, that is, the housekeeper, quickly said, "What's the matter, do you have anything to do with me, what do you need to serve you?"
