In a unique room, there were only Zhang Qian and Liu Yan in it, and after waiting for a long time, I didn't see the master of the owner come over, let alone the butler who prepared the tea.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Yan looked at the time of her mobile phone and frowned, "No, Zhang Qian, that housekeeper, it's been fifteen minutes, why haven't you come here yet?"

This kind of thing, how would Zhang Qian know? He waved his hand and dealt with it casually, "I don't know, maybe I'm boiling water to find something or something, right?"

Why did Liu Yan feel a little strange, there was a housekeeper in this room, so naturally there would be a maid, how could it be that she hadn't even dealt with these little things? But Liu Yan shook her head and said to herself, "It's that I'm thinking too much." ”

After another five minutes, the butler finally arrived, holding a silver plate with two cups of coffee on it.

Seeing the coffee, Liu Yan was happy all of a sudden, can the coffee of the rich family be delicious?

Liu Yan was in a hurry, stood up, and helped to bring up the coffee, one hand inadvertently touched the butler's hand, and felt a little wet, so she paid attention to the butler's hand, and there were still some water droplets on his hand.

But Liu Yan didn't care so much, picked up the coffee, put it under her nose and smelled it slowly, it felt very good, and she suddenly became refreshed, and said in her mouth, "Not bad, not bad." ”

Zhang Qian said, "It's good, this is a precious coffee bean." ”

The butler put away the silver plate, interjected a sentence, and said, "Please wait a moment, I will go and call the master." ”

Watching the housekeeper leave, Liu Yan said to Zhang Qian, "How do you know that it is valuable? Have you ever drunk it?"

Zhang Qian smiled, "Where to enjoy it, I guess." ”

Liu Yan glanced at Zhang Qian all of a sudden, thinking that it was some kind of profound insight, but in fact, it was just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, but Liu Yan also thought that this coffee was good, "Well, I guess it's a good thing." ”

Zhang Qian picked up the cup and touched it with Liu Yan's coffee cup, "Come, drink." ”

Liu Yan was speechless all of a sudden, feeling that this guy wouldn't appreciate it, "Why are you doing it?" ”

Zhang Qian took a deep breath of coffee and said, "Not bad." After saying that, he took a big sip.

Seeing this, Liu Yan said embarrassedly, "Don't you feel hot?"

Zhang Qian really didn't feel this point, and smacked his lips, "It's okay." ”

Liu Yan was completely speechless, maybe this guy is more earthy than herself!

This time, the housekeeper was more efficient, and soon someone came in; Liu Yan looked up and saw that the person who came in this time was different, and he was also wearing a suit, but it looked more expensive, and his body was a little fat.

Suddenly, Zhang Qian stood up and said politely, "Master Lin, hello." ”

Mr. Lin? Liu Yan thought about it for a while, could it be that he was the owner of this villa? He looked at this Mr. Lin again, he was fat, and he did look like a big man.

Master Lin waved his hand, "It's okay, all sit, all sit." ”

After Zhang Qian sat down, he quickly got into the topic; Master Lin took out a letter, handed it over, put it on the table, and said, "This is the fourth letter, and this kind of letter will appear almost every two or three days." ”

After thinking silently for a while, Liu Yan began to ask, "Master Lin, take the liberty of asking, where did you find this letter?"

Master Lin pointed at Liu Yan and asked Zhang Qian, "Who is this little girl?"

Zhang Qian had no choice but to explain, "Hello Master Lin, this is a new trainee detective, and it may be of some help." ”

Master Lin looked at Liu Yan and nodded, "Yes, young man, there are not many people who can say it." ”

Liu Yan smiled slightly, "Thank you Master Lin for your compliment." ”

Things continued to develop, and Liu Yan asked again, "Master Lin, you haven't answered the question I asked." ”

"Oh, you're asking where you found it? It's outside my study today. ”

Upon hearing this, Liu Yan grasped an important part of the topic, "You mean, today? means that every time a threatening letter appears, it is in a different place?"

Master Lin frowned, "Young man, there is still a little less heat, and he is too impulsive to speak." ”

Liu Yan didn't understand what was going on for a while, so she could only ask awkwardly, "I'm sorry, where did I say something wrong?"

"Threatening letters, I didn't receive threatening letters. ”

Liu Yan looked at Zhang Gan, didn't he say a threatening letter? Why did he change his mind when he got here? He turned his head to look at Master Lin again, and could only apologize, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake, I made a mistake." ”

Liu Yan said again, "By the way, Master Lin, can I take a look at the envelope?"

Master Lin replied calmly without a hint of emotion, "Look." ”

With permission, then there is no need to be polite, Liu Yan passed the envelope, and saw that the envelope had been opened, it is estimated that this Master Lin has already read it.

Liu Yan opened the envelope and wanted to look at it carefully, but there was nothing written on it, except for a bunch of numbers, then there was nothing else, and the only thing that caught the eye was that it was a blood-red font.

When she first saw the blood-red font, Liu Yan was indeed a little frightened, but she quickly calmed down, and carefully read the numbers inside.

Except for the two adjacent words, then the rest of the words are very well spaced and say: 10.1, 4.2, 4.4, 4.5.

After seeing these words, Liu Yan fell silent and began to think, and after a while, she silently recited in her mouth, "4.5; April 5th, isn't it today?"

Seeing this, Liu Yan immediately understood why Zhang Qian said it was a threatening letter, but that Master Lin just said an ordinary letter.

Liu Yan raised her head and said to Master Lin, "Master Lin, shouldn't there be the other three envelopes?"

Master Lin was silent for a moment at first, but he was soon willing to cooperate, and called the housekeeper and asked him to go to his study and find the envelopes.

When the envelope came, Liu Yan opened it all, put all the numbers on the paper on the table, and started the number game.

The four sheets of paper, with the number of words on them, increased in turn, from one pair of numbers to two pairs of numbers in the second, the third in three, and the fourth in the envelope that you saw at the beginning, that is, the envelope with the most numbers.

Liu Yan thought about it, except for the unchanged, 10.1, and the number that did not change with the increase of the number of times, Liu Yan seemed to understand something, but she couldn't figure it out, after all, things could never be so simple.

10.1;4.2;4.4;4.5.;Are these numbers really just a definition of time?

Liu Yan has been silent, always doubting, would she use such a childish method?
