Ancient times. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Xiao Liang followed his people into the mountains to hunt, the weather has been getting colder and colder recently, and winter is approaching, so they have to start stocking up on food for the winter. When winter comes, the animals in the mountains don't come out much, and if there is not enough food in stock, everyone will go hungry.

I'm only six years old this year, and I'm still curious about everything, but I'm already familiar with the work of adults. This is not the first time he has entered the mountain, so everything in the mountain is extremely kind and familiar to him.

He chased a hare alone to the water's edge, but suddenly shouted, "Daddy! Dad! ”

Xiaoliang's father heard the shout, thinking that he had encountered a wild beast, and hurried over. saw Xiao Liang standing on the shore and pointed to a ...... with half of his body immersed in the water Person?!

The man did not know whether he was dead or alive, but he did not move. Xiaoliang's father was shocked when he saw the totem painted on the man's blue shirt, and hurriedly beckoned the other clansmen, "It's the gods!" Quick, bring the gods back and heal. ”

……

Listening to Xiao Yang's words, I turned my head sideways and smiled.

Guo Ximei will not be a murderer, how cruel is it for the murderer to kill people by cutting his throat, and how can he be afraid of being like Guo Ximei. What's more, how could the murderer easily drop such an important clue in front of us? If she is the murderer, she simply sticks a blank piece of paper on her head, saying that I am the murderer, and it is too challenging for the intelligence of the police.

The Shen family's mansion.

Shen Changhui is worthy of being a celebrity in the city, a famous industrialist, and even the place where he lives is such a high-end and high-grade mid-level villa. Xiao Yang drove to the gate, and the servant of the Shen family opened the door. Then it continued inside, and it took five or six minutes to stop. The Shen family has a special parking lot, and I roughly calculated that it can park about twelve cars, and there are currently four cars parked in the parking space, not counting the one we just drove up.

A three-story villa was clustered around the huge garden, and at this time, a middle-aged man came out of the villa, dressed in a black straight suit, and walked up to us, "I am the housekeeper here, my surname is Xu." The two are Officer Yang and ...... Officer Yang that Captain Sun just mentioned."

"Huo Shao."

Before Steward Xu finished speaking, there was a sound behind him that made us all look sideways.

The person who spoke was Shen Zaiyang.

"Sure enough, it's you." Shen Zaiyang came over at this time, stood beside Steward Xu, and said to him, "She is Huo Shao, and she is a very good friend of my aunt before her death, so she must not be neglected." ”

"Yes." Steward Xu replied respectfully.

"My aunt used to call you Huo Shao, and I also called you like that, you won't be angry." Shen Zaiyang looked at me, although he was just seventeen years old, he was taller than me, his face was still childish, and there were already some traces of stubble on his lips. Seeing that I shook his head, he was relieved, "I heard my aunt say that you are very powerful. I didn't expect ...... Are you here for your aunt's case? ”

"Huo Shao is investigating these cases." Xiao Yang took over the words, saw that Steward Xu looked surprised, and then explained, "It was arranged by Sun Tou'er." ”

"In that case, please come in." Steward Xu didn't ask any more questions, but just led us into the villa.

Shen Zaiyang and I walked side by side in front, followed by Xiao Yang, from the moment I entered the gate, I was paying attention to the surrounding environment, and asked by the way, "Captain Sun said that there is a fifth victim here, who is it?" ”

Steward Xu was embarrassed and looked at Shen Zaiyang. I followed Steward Xu's gaze and looked at Shen Zaiyang, Shen Zaiyang was not as embarrassed as Steward Xu, but responded very calmly, "Actually, it's nothing, it's my mother." ”

"Mrs. Shen?" Although the person who expected that something would happen in this mansion must be unusual, but now I was really surprised to learn that the victim was Mrs. Shen, because this person is a suspect in several current cases, even if Guo Ximei mentioned that the person who called her in the bathing city was a man, it was possible that someone bought it. Although it has not yet been determined whether Lin Zhenna's death is related to the other three cases, among the three cases of Shen Changhui, Shen Shijing and Shen Changhui's third party, it is natural that Mrs. Shen will benefit the most.

"But my mother didn't die, she was just injured and scared." Shen Zaiyang said, and had already accompanied us to the villa hall. "You just arrived here, do you want to take a break and go to see the scene again?"

"Is Mrs. Shen resting now?" Xiao Yang asked, he wanted to see Mrs. Shen first.

"My wife just took the medicine and should have fallen asleep." Steward Xu replied.

"I'll go and see, maybe my mother isn't asleep yet." Shen Zaiyang took the initiative.

"Okay." I then turned to Steward Xu, "Then please take Steward Xu to the place where Mrs. Shen had an accident first." ”

Steward Xu nodded, and Shen Zaiyang walked upstairs. Steward Xu led us to the back door of the villa, "Please come here, my wife met the gangsters in the back garden at that time." ”

"Don't you think that Shen Zaiyang and Shen Changhui don't look very similar." Xiao Yang came up to me and said.

"Maybe he's like Mrs. Shen." I think his focus is something really unique.

While talking, coming out of the back door, it is the back garden. Steward Xu stood still and introduced, "At that time, my wife was sitting here alone reading a book, and then suddenly a gangster rushed out and kidnapped my wife. Tea spilled on his arm, and he let go of his wife, jumped over the bushes and fled. Later, I asked the rest of my family to look for the gangster's traces and call the police. ”

"Didn't you find the gangster?" Xiao Yang also guessed the ending.

Steward Xu shook his head helplessly,

"Is Mrs. Shen injured?" I remembered the moment I walked through the door.

"My wife was slightly injured, and the gangster put a knife against my wife's neck, and when I pushed it, the blade still cut my wife's neck." Steward Xu seemed to have palpitations, and said, "However, the Shen family's personal doctor has already seen it, and there is no major problem, so after dressing up the medicine for his wife, he didn't go to the hospital." ”

"Since Mrs. Shen is only slightly injured...... I turned my head sideways to look at Xiao Yang, so why did Sun Heyang say that there was a fifth victim here?

"There is surveillance in the Shen family's mansion, and after the gangsters escaped, we called up the surveillance to check, and someone recognized that the gangster's figure was exactly the same as the murderer who broke into Mr. Shen's office and killed Mr. Shen a few days ago." Steward Xu raised his hand, pointed to the monitoring on the wall and said, "Whether it is in Mr. Shen's company or the Shen family's mansion, there are many such monitoring. The gangster who attacked Mrs. is the same as the murderer who killed Mr. Shen, I think this should not be just a coincidence, the top of this back garden is the study before Mr., since Mr. was killed to the present, Mrs. has specially explained not to touch Mr.'s study, so Mr. 's things before his death, documents and everything are still in it as they are. ”

"Then what does Steward Xu mean that that gangster is likely to be coming for Mr. Shen's something?" This Steward Xu's statement actually makes sense, if the gangsters broke into Shen Changhui's office at the beginning to find some documents, they were discovered by Shen Changhui who suddenly returned to the office, so the gangsters killed Shen Changhui. Because he didn't find what he wanted in the office, he thought that the things might be hidden in Shen Changhui's study in the Shen family's mansion, and it just so happened that after Shen Changhui's death, Mrs. Shen also specially explained that she didn't want the Shen family's servants to touch Shen Changhui's study. As a result, the gangsters broke in today to look for that thing in the study, and when they left, they happened to meet Mrs. Shen who was reading a book alone in the back garden......

But if it was really the same murderer, judging from the way he killed Shen Changhui last time, how could he give Mrs. Shen a chance to break free? Even if the housekeeper came in time, the result that Mrs. Shen was only slightly bruised made me feel incredible. It's as if the murderer deliberately and carefully laid out a perfect plan, but just revealed the most fatal flaw in Mrs. Shen's matter.

Why? Why did he let Mrs. Shen go and didn't kill Mrs. Shen like he killed Shen Changhui and the other deceased? If according to Steward Xu's speculation, the murderer has something to do with these cases, and he has killed so many people, will he change his usual murder methods because he met Mrs. Shen? All serial killers have a common trait, they are obsessed with the perfect process of committing their crimes, and because they enjoy the process, they are less likely to easily break the rules they have set.

Wait a minute, stuff?! Something particularly important?!

Steward Xu's statement was a document, but he shouldn't be sure if the gangster was really looking for something in the study.

Instead, the person who called Guo Ximei asked her to tell Lin Zhenna to go to the small park to pick up something. As a result, Jenna Lin went, and she lost her life there, something, it's the same thing again, could it be because of the same thing between these two things?

"Did you lose anything in Mr. Shen's study?" Xiao Yang saw that I was in a daze for a long time and didn't speak, so he asked Steward Xu himself.

"This ......," Steward Xu pondered for a moment and replied, "There are too many things that have happened just now, and I haven't had time to order someone to check them, not to mention that Mr.'s study is a place that Mrs. specially instructed not to move." ”

"Steward Xu," as he was talking, Shen Zaiyang had already come down from upstairs and followed the sound of us talking, and after a while, someone stood in front of us, "Steward Xu, my mother is awake." Huo Shao, Officer Yang, are you going to visit my mother now? ”

"So be it." I thought of a solution, "After all, Mrs. Yang has just woken up, and Officer Yang is inconvenient, so I will visit Mrs. Shen." Officer Yang and Steward Xu went to Mr. Shen's study to check to see if anything was missing, and I will go over to find ...... after I finish talking to Mrs. Shen."

“Duang!!!”

Suddenly, I stayed there.

Duang?!

"What is this?" As soon as I asked, I was already looking in the direction where the sound had just come.

That's right, what I just heard was Duang's voice, and Guo Ximei's description, in the phone call given to her by the murderer, exactly the same voice, Duang! What it is, what it is! The voice...... This voice is......

Clock!!!

That sound came from the clock in front of me! Half past six, half past one, so it only rang once?

This grandfather clock is huge, and the sound it emits resounded throughout the Shen family's mansion.

"This clock was bought by my husband many years ago from an antique market in Europe, and it is completely old-fashioned mechanical clock, so it will tell the time every hour and half o'clock." Steward Xu followed behind and explained.

"But this voice is different from ......" Xiao Yang also felt the strangeness of this voice, which was somewhat different from the sound made by ordinary clocks.

"It's okay, I was just startled, this clock was too loud, I thought it was something going on in this house." I didn't let him continue, "Let's follow what I just said, Officer Yang and Steward Xu went to check the study, and Shen Zaiyang and I went to see how my wife was doing." Later, I'll go look for you. ”
