Thirty-four. Intruder?
With our joint efforts, Wei Xueman finally breathed a sigh of relief, and she decided to go home first to sort out her thoughts. And I, naturally, was assigned to accompany Wei Xueman home without hesitation. So our group returned to Wei Xueman's home. That is, she and Hu Yangfan's home, which is only a few buildings away from the scene of the murder.
"It's only been a few days since I was home, and I didn't expect so many things to happen." Wei Xueman said helplessly, she looked at me, took out the key, and opened the door with her hands shaking for a long time.
However, the situation in the room surprised us again: Wei Xueman is also a person who has extremely high requirements for his living environment, although he has no cleanliness habits, but everything has its own rules. But right now, the room was turned into a mess, as if someone had come in. Hu Yangfan has ever come back? This was Wei Xueman's first reaction, but she quickly denied such a statement, since the last time she forced Hu Yangfan to leave the house, Wei Xueman had to return the key in his hand. Could it be that he was a thief? All four of us were stunned at the same time.
Wei Xueman stood there in surprise, her first instinct was to rush into the bedroom to check if anything valuable was still there. Professional as Qin Ming stopped her actions at the right time. He and I glanced at each other, knowing of course that I was also watching the room closely. The pillows on the couch were tossed to the floor, and there were broken glasses on the floor. The kitchen door is ajar, but through the door, you can see that the kitchen window is locked, just like the living room window. In the days when Wei Xueman left, naturally no one should go in or out. Qin Ming carefully squatted on the ground and checked it, a thin layer of dust had fallen on the ground, and there were no footprints left on it. In other words, probably not long after Wei Xueman left, someone had already broken into here.
There was no sign that the lock had been picked, in other words, someone had entered the place. Faced with our questions, Wei Xue sighed leisurely: "In this house, except for me, only Yangfan has the key on the door. None of the others? Who else could be here? ”
"Why don't you go back and ask Yangfan? Maybe he's been back and looking for something. Do you see if any valuables are missing? Do you want to report the crime? Zhang Hao proposed with a nervous face, obviously he was even more nervous about the situation in front of him than Wei Xueman.
Wei Xueman quickly returned to the bedroom, and the news he brought back made us breathe a sigh of relief, it was true that nothing was missing, only Hu Yangfan's usual change of clothes was gone. Maybe he came back once, right? Although she was a little helpless, she didn't comment more. And Qin Ming, obviously like me, didn't let go of his hanging heart: why did Hu Yangfan come back? Why did you take your own clothes and make such a mess of your room? However, we didn't ask these questions, just looked at each other, and it was clear that our concerns were the same.
On the contrary, it was Zhang Hao, who checked back and forth several times, and said uneasily: "Are you sure it's Yangfan back?" Why don't you ask more questions? If he hadn't come back, it would have been really scary. I'll see you stay in the hotel for the next few days, right? Tomorrow I will find someone to change the lock for you, so that you can rest assured that you can live in. ”
"That's how it should be." Qin Ming nodded very seriously, and said to Wei Xueman: "Auntie, you can go to my house to live in the next few days, anyway, there are many empty rooms in my house." If it doesn't work, you can go to grandma's house for a few days......"
"It's not appropriate to alarm the elderly, right?" Zhang Hao frowned, "If such a big thing happens, the old man must not be able to stand it." It's better to ...... Would you like to go live with Miss Fang Qing? I heard that you also live alone? It just so happens that two people are together and can be regarded as having a care. These are extraordinary times, so you should be careful. ”
The last sentence was naturally addressed to me. I nodded submissively. He was very thoughtful, and it was completely out of protection for Wei Xueman. After seeing that I agreed, Zhang Hao nodded and said, and said to Wei Xue very seriously: "Look, these days when you are away, these flowers and grasses that you see most precious on weekdays are about to die." It's better to water them a little first, and then pack up some things, and I'll send you to Fang Qing's house." ”
Wei Xueman nodded. However, these things naturally didn't need her to do anything, Qin Ming and Zhang Hao started to act separately. Qin Ming was in charge of the two larger flower pots in the room, while Zhang Hao was in charge of several smaller flower pots on the balcony. Wei Xueman and I, on the other hand, split up and began to tidy up the messy room. I'm afraid that Wei Xueman's mood at this time is far more chaotic than the state in this room.
"It's ...... What the? Why did you stick a knife in the pot? Shouldn't it be more appropriate to loosen the soil with a shovel? Zhang Hao, who was busy on the balcony, took out a knife from the flower pot, which was stained with mud.
"How can there be a knife?" Wei Xueman walked over curiously, looked at the knife for a long time, shook his head very seriously, and said, "I'm pretty sure, this knife is definitely not our family." Our knives are a whole set that I bought, all of them are of the same brand, and this is definitely not our knife. I'm a lazy person, every time I raise flowers, I just change the pots for flowers, how dare I loosen the soil for them? ”
Qin Ming also surrounded him, he looked at it carefully for a while, and after Wei Xueman was sure that it was definitely not his own knife, he quickly took a fresh-keeping bag and put the knife in it. None of us spoke, but we all knew very well that Qin Ming's actions definitely had his own intentions. Thinking of this, I feel that my head is constantly sweating, yes, not long ago, Xu Hui once said that Lin Lirou's wound did not match the knife inserted in her chest. Could it be ...... Could it be this knife? Unlikely, right? I shook my head a little hesitantly, Qin Ming had already checked it before, it seemed that no one had been here for some days, why was there such a knife? All the results, maybe after the inspection, there will be results.
The rest of the day, we all tacitly didn't say anything. Wei Xueman was also full of worries, she didn't pack anything more, and took the original gift box and got into Zhang Hao's car. Probably because she was already familiar with the process of handling the case, she asked Qin Ming to take the knife directly to the forensic doctor for identification, while Zhang Hao drove Wei Xueman and me to my house.
"It's almost noon, shall we have a meal together?" Zhang Hao said with some hesitation, he frowned and looked at Wei Xueman, as if there were still many words unspoken.
