I looked at the layout of the room again: it was a two-bedroom house with a north-south view, a shoe cabinet at the entrance, and then the kitchen, and the large south-facing living room connected to the kitchen was divided into two parts: the living room and the dining room. Both bedrooms are on the east side of the living room, and the second bedroom is opposite the bathroom. And further inside is the large master bedroom, which has a separate bathroom, and the big master bedroom is where Guan Xinyue usually sleeps. There is a bed in the second bedroom, but it can be seen that no one has slept for a long time, and this season, there is still a big thick quilt inside. Although it was early spring at this time, there was no need for such a thick quilt at night. Not only that, Guan Xinyue has almost no friends, and in Zhu Ling's memory, it seems that no one other than Li Cheng has ever stayed overnight. I remember hearing Zhu Ling mention that Guan Xinyue almost didn't leave her here for the night. And this room may only be used by Zhu Ling in special circumstances.

The master bedroom is a different scene, because it is the scene of the murder, so it has already been marked by the forensic doctors with chalk. The first thing that catches your eye is two places drawn in white chalk, and you can see that two shoes are messily placed indoors, one with the tip of the shoe facing the door and the other at the shoe. The quilt piled on the bed was completely pushed to the end of the bed, the sheets were a little messy, and the pillows were placed crookedly at the head of the bed and thrown in the middle of the bed.

"It's weird, don't you think?" I frowned. By now, I kind of understand why Qin Ming brought me to such a place. Judging from the scene, it seems that there has been a struggle here. But none of this can be confirmed from the upstairs, downstairs, and neighbors left and right. Because there were no people living in the upstairs and downstairs households, and the two families on the left and right, they heard the wall seem to ring twice in the middle of the night, but they were not sure that the sound came from Guan Xinyue's house, when the man looked at his watch, it was about two o'clock.

Qin Ming didn't answer, looked at me, and said for a long time: "What are you talking about?" Is the room strange? ”

I didn't answer, but frowned and said, "One of the bases for you to think that Shao Yin is a suspect is because the deceased died in bed, so it is judged that an acquaintance committed the crime, right?" Is it possible that a stranger committed the crime? ”

Qin Ming touched his nose, obviously thinking seriously about my question, and after a while, he shook his head very calmly and said, "We have indeed made such speculations, but the problem is that if it is really a stranger, it is unlikely to enter the bedroom, right?" When we police arrived at the scene, the windows were closed and the doors were open. And there are only three keys to enter and exit here, one is held by Li Cheng, one is in Guan Xinyue's place, and the other is in the hands of Guan Xinyue's nanny. We have carefully checked the door lock, and it is definitely not picked. On the day of the crime, both the nanny and Li Cheng had an alibi. Therefore, we deduced that it was very likely that Guan Xinyue opened the door and let the other party into the room......"

"Yes, it does make sense. After all, a woman who lives alone, in the middle of the night, is unlikely to invite a stranger into the house, and this inference should be valid. I nodded, maybe I was too nervous to make that opinion, right? What kind of acquaintance would it be?

However, how to explain the messy slippers next to the bed, could it be that the two people had a fight in the guesthouse, and the murderer chased him to the bedroom and killed Guan Xinyue? Or was the murderer panicked after killing Guan Xinyue, so he kicked the slippers out of order? I shook my head, this possibility seems to exist, but there is no trace of a fight in the living room, and Qin Ming's subordinates have already done a professional investigation.

"The deceased showed no signs of assault and no injuries on his body. The results of the drug test also came out, and nothing was found. So it's very strange......" Qin Ming looked at me with a frown, and said after a long time: "This is definitely not a normal reaction. It's like...... Guan Xinyue was strangled to death in her sleep. However, this also confirms that our previous inference is not wrong, it should be an acquaintance who committed the crime, and he is also a person who has a close relationship with Guan Xinyue. ”

"There's another possibility." I said lightly, although that idea is a bit bizarre, but after removing all the impossibilities, there is only one possibility: "She was willing to be strangled to death by the other party." ”

"I don't think it's likely." Qin Ming obviously completely disagreed with my conclusion, he shook his head, and said solemnly: "You must know that survival is human instinct, even if people who are bent on death, there will be struggles. ”

This can only be confirmed later until the truth is ascertained. Maybe Guan Xinyue really has no desire to survive, and it may not be. On second thought, it seems that such a conclusion is somewhat unreasonable. Guan Xinyue once told Zhang Wenjian that she wanted to go out for a walk, and she once called a travel agency. Such a fact seems to be contrary to my conclusion.

Just as I was about to exit the room, I saw that there seemed to be something on the wall facing the bed, making the whole white wall look incongruous. I walked over and found that the double-sided tape that hadn't been torn off was left, and it was still a little sticky. The strip is glued into a rice shape. Judging from the marks left on it, it should be a picture frame, about eight inches or so. But as for what the photo is, I'm afraid I have to ask Zhu Ling again.

"Did you find anything?" Qin Ming tilted his head to look at me, obviously no one thought that I would find anything.

I frowned and said, "Don't you think there's something missing?" ”

"Missing something? Something is missing. In addition to the list of lost goods, didn't you mention things like silk scarves? Qin Ming smiled bitterly, obviously thinking that only women could discover such completely unobtrusive details.

I shook my head: "There are other things besides those. I remember mentioning to you that Zhu Ling said that before leaving every morning, Guan Xinyue would arrange Zhu Ling's work in advance, that is, he would leave a note for her to do according to the above requirements. After coming back in the evening, it will be accepted by Guan Xinyue. For almost a year, the two of them have reached a tacit understanding. Why haven't we found anything like pens and notes? ”

"Really? Not really. Qin Ming checked the desktop inside and out again, even including the drawers, and found nothing at all. Maybe it'......"

"Maybe it was taken away by the murderer. I think there's something written on it. I thought, why don't we visit Zhu Ling again? I looked at Qin Ming hesitantly.
