Chapter 393 Reasoning: Night Before the Truth Thirty-one

When he said this, Wen Manman turned his head to look at a few women who followed Liu Hang and asked them to confirm their words, and several people nodded one after another, indicating that Lu Haoyu was indeed in this situation at that time.

Yun Yeyao, who was standing behind them, did not listen to Wen Manman's narration at this moment, but kept listening to Liu Hang muttering softly in his ear, his attention was all on Liu Hang's body, Xie Yunmeng blocked him with his tall body, observing the expressions and reactions of others.

——

The second floor of the main house

Now there is not only Lu Haoyu who is alone, there is also Eternal, after sending Wen Manman away, he will have to complete his unfinished work, which is the autopsy.

At present, in addition to the few corpses in the brown tower, the only corpse he has seen is Lian Fan upstairs, and he must go back to the third floor again to see Qin Sen's corpse.

Qin Sen died of poisoning, Yun Yeyao said that he had poisoned himself, but he didn't mean to, and if Eternal wanted to know the reason, he had to go and see it on the spot.

There was a slight cat meow in the darkness, it was in the hexagonal hall, the down jacket was given to Venmanman, Eternal had no way to go outdoors for the time being, he returned to the hall, he heard the 'accident' that happened just now, and now looking at the huge hole in the hall, Eternal became relaxed, because there was a way down.

Walking to the broken place, the probe carefully looked down, there is still a thick mat underneath, and it should not hurt if you jump.

"More people is easier to do, I don't know what happened to that criminal police officer?" Eternal thought, worrying about Xie Yunmeng by the way.

The black cat had already walked at his feet, and Eternal crouched down and touched the little one's head, then turned and walked with it up the stairwell on the third floor.

Now there is no need to climb the secret passage, the entire wall of the stairwell is open, anyway, he is not afraid of corpses, and directly enters the corridor on the third floor from the room where Lian Fan died.

The room was still in shambles, Lianfan's corpse was lying on its back, the smell of blood was strong, and the kitten tried to crawl over to the corpse, but was pulled back by Eternal's neck.

"Don't make trouble."

After a reluctant lesson, the little black cat shrank up in fright, perhaps it was Eternal's eyes that frightened it, and its body hung motionless in the palm of the man's hand.

Letting go of the black cat, Eternal quickly walked out of the room and disappeared into the darkness in less than a minute.

Yes, this woman who is about to meet Mr. Actor, this woman who Mr. Actor has been asking her for help, is a 'demon'. But is 'demon' the same as a murderer? No one knows yet. The woman quickened her pace and walked down the hallway, her clothes rubbing against the floor and walls, making a slight, but unrelieved sound.

It's almost there, and I have to be careful not to let the two of them recognize me." The woman instructed herself in her heart, and pulled the hat on her head again, so that it completely covered the not very beautiful face, which was really like a ghost in the hallway.

When the woman walked to the place where she needed to hide, she could obviously hear the sound of conversation coming from the other side of the wall, the woman didn't know what happened before the fire, and no one took the initiative to tell her, the woman has always relied on the clues she found to understand, including Xiao Heng and Xiaoxiao's life experience.

Mr. Housekeeper always asked the woman and Xiao Heng to go on a date in the assessment basement, and it wasn't until many years later that the woman really saw clearly that Mr. Housekeeper was sinister at that time. The old man actually wanted to use her to cover up another love, another love that might not be accepted by the world.

From that time on, the woman began to hate Mr. Butler, and in any case, he should not take advantage of her love, which carved a deep mark in the woman's already crazy brain.

Over the years, the young, simple, unashamed of the world, and always in need of the protection of others, as well as the help of the 'old man of time' and the restaurateur's wife, have allowed women to hide their feelings in the depths of darkness.

However, she had never seen any dark forests. If she has the opportunity, she also wants to become the eternal heart in Xiao Heng's body, but the owner of the eternal heart wants to desperately break out of Xiao Heng's body, and the woman wants another consciousness to replace herself, so that she can hide in the dark forest and live only in dreams forever.

The complicated thinking and conversation stopped, and the woman's attention was focused, the role she was about to play was about to appear, and Mr. Actor was already opening the door for her appearance.

When the gap in the black wall opened wider and wider, the woman stepped forward, and all the anger on her body disappeared in an instant, replaced by anti-slip and worry, which was her means of deceiving the actor and the old detective!

Yun Yeyao sat on the chair that Lu Haoyu was sitting on just now, and asked the girl softly; "Manman, tell me how you got out of the stairwell?"

"This starts with Grandpa Liu and Qin Sen's behavior, at that time, Grandpa Liu asked Qin Sen to see what happened in the gap in the wall? Qin Sen was reluctant because he was afraid, and after the two of them argued a few words, Grandpa Liu did not force him. In this process, I have been paying attention to a few specific people, they are Qin Sen, Lian Fan and Mother-in-law. Concerned about Xiao Fan because he had been away for too long yesterday afternoon, although there was an explanation from the police officer afterwards, it was still inevitably suspicious. ”

"I observed Qin Sen because I always felt that during the time when Grandpa Liu was poisoned and unconscious, Qin Sen didn't seem to be around everyone, I can't be sure about this, but I really didn't see where Qin Sen was at that time?"

"I was right behind everyone! You can't say that if you don't see me, it will make people suspicious, Manman! Qin Sen roared to defend himself and glared at Wen Manman.

Wen Manman explained: "Qin Sen, don't worry, I'm just narrating according to my own thoughts, and I didn't say anything bad that you did. As she said this, she still didn't look up, and didn't let anyone see her expression.

Seeing that she had explained, Qin Sen couldn't argue about anything, so he could only continue to listen patiently.

"Observing the cook's mother-in-law, because I think my mother-in-law is just like the horror, she didn't tell us the truth, if it is forgivable that others don't know the real situation 15 years ago, but to say that the mother-in-law doesn't know, then it can't be explained, she is the person who has lived here since the treacherous house was built!"

"Then why did you suddenly become so cold? Don't want to talk to anyone? Tao Muqing asked. Like Sister Wang, she desperately tried to see the true face under Wen Manman's cloak, but it seemed that her efforts were in vain.

"Why should I be apathetic? I don't know it myself! Wen Manman said: "You have to ask Mr. Yun this question, it was he who secretly told me that after entering the third floor, you must alienate all people, so that you look cold and ruthless, and it is difficult to approach." During my stay on the second floor of the main house, it really saddened me when people questioned me about my change. Mr. Yun, wait a minute, please explain why I want to change my attitude. ”

"I haven't seen his face, only his back, and his figure and hair are very similar to An Ze."

"That's why you suspect that it is possible that before the fire, An Ze was eliminated by someone, or he planned the fire himself, and played the role of the mysterious Mr. Butler, right?"

"Maybe, it's all my guess anyway." Wen Manman replied, and she paused for a moment, as if in thought.

The cook's mother-in-law finally got the opportunity to speak, and said to Wen Manman: "Manman, what you said is right, Wen Yuya was indeed the maid we hired back then, and I think the hostess you mentioned should refer to me, not your mother." Before the fire, Anze and I used to manage the Spiegel House together, and I was his daughter's tutor and his daughter's stand-in, and Anze's daughter Anxi was hidden by him on the third floor of the main house, all of which I have already told Mr. Yun. ”

"But I don't understand, what do you want to explain when you talk about so many copies of the past? If you really want to explain this past and what you saw in the gap in the stairwell wall, then please tell us, what did you see? All right? I think there are some things that I might be able to explain a little bit for you. ”

The words of the cook's mother-in-law finally made Wen Manman raise her head, and everyone finally saw her face clearly. Although this face was all too familiar to several young dance academy students, they were still shocked.

Because Wen Manman also has scars on his face, and he is also lying in the middle of the bridge of his nose like Yan Muheng, so far, there are three people with injuries on his face in this treacherous house. The first Yan Muheng, the old wound on his face only left a deep scar.

The second is Shan Mingze, he was injured for unknown reasons before everyone entered the third floor, the wound was very deep and terrible. So far, the injured Shan Mingze and the uninjured Shan Mingze are mixed together, what is the injury on his face? The people on the third floor were still in the dark.

The third is the current Wen Manman, who has only a shallow wound on her face, as if she has been inadvertently cut by a blade. But except for the slightly shorter length, the shape and position of the wound are exactly the same as those of the two people in front of them, so people who see it will be so shocked.

Receiving the hint from the old man, the two of them immediately sat up straight, and the detective continued to pretend to listen to the words of the girl in front of him, but the more he listened, the brighter the fireflies in his heart became, and some things had become clear and clear in his gray brain cells.

It was Shan Mingze who was not injured who remained in the warehouse, and when everything settled down, Shan Mingze began to calm down, first of all, why did Xixi say that the person he loved was less than? Less than should be the son of the cook of the treacherous house, and it's a terrifying boyfriend.

Xixi had nothing to do with the treacherous house before, and this time, she would come to the mountain, although it was Shan Mingze's fault. However, Shan Mingze did not plan to come to the treacherous house and lock it on the cliff at first, but wanted to seek the truth of the incident at the foot of the mountain from Xixi on the uninhabited mountain road.

It was a homicide caused by theft, and the witness was none other than Sissy's aunt in the district. However, what Shan Mingze and Xixi did not explain to the criminal police was that the middle-aged woman who died was actually not Xixi's aunt, but Xixi's nanny.

Cissy is an adopted daughter, and after the age of 17, her adoptive parents went abroad, and they have always been cared for by the family's nanny. Sissy usually spends most of her time at school or with friends, and doesn't spend much time at home, so she has very little contact with the babysitter.

Shan Mingze remembered that since he met Xixi a few years ago, he began to pursue her passionately, Xixi is very beautiful, which Shan Mingze has to admit. The earliest pursuit was indeed because of his covetousness for Xixi's eyebrows and her rich family, but gradually, Shan Mingze unknowingly really fell in love with Xixi.

In those years, Shan Mingze found all kinds of reasons to go to Xixi's house and catch up with all Xixi's friends, just to make himself closer to his beautiful girlfriend. For a long time, Shan Mingze also got along well with the nanny of Xixi's family, and every time he went, the nanny would welcome him warmly.

But just a few months before the murder, the nanny of the Xixi family suddenly made a 180-degree turn, and Shan Mingze was not welcome to step into the house at all, and even called Xixi's adoptive parents who were far away from the ocean about him and Xixi.

In Xixi and the nanny's accusations against Shan Mingze, intentionally or unintentionally, Shan Mingze guessed a little clue, as if it was because Xixi's family often lost things, and the matter of spending his girlfriend's money was also known by their nanny, so his attitude changed so quickly.

We can also get a glimpse of it from the conversation between Xixi and the mysterious man at that time, what he said at the time was to pull the suspicion of the homicide under the mountain desperately to Shan Mingze, and also asked Xixi to stabilize Shan Mingze, so that he could catch more Shan Mingze's handles.

Why does this man want to deal with Shan Mingze, one of them is, of course, that he wants both beauty and money. So what about the second? He can't be so simple, in the treacherous house, where the criminal police are there, he is willing to take the risk to deal with Shan Mingze, so this man calculates Shan Mingze, maybe he has a crime that has to be covered up, or he already knows the real purpose of the criminal police going up the mountain to investigate.

Anyway? At this moment, Shan Mingze was thinking about how to make Xixi tell the truth to herself, at least to herself, how much did she know about the reason behind the criminal police going up the mountain?

The murder that occurred at the foot of the mountain, what I said before was just some skin, there must be deeper clues hidden in the middle, and there must be something related to the child trafficking organization, otherwise, the criminal police would not disguise themselves and hide their identities to go up the mountain. They will not take the parties to the case to the mountains.

Now it seems that Qiao Keli and the real Yan Muheng must both be involved in the case under the mountain, because they are both people who have been helping the criminal police from the beginning, that is, the people who participated in Xie Yunmeng and Mei Xiaoxiao's actions to conceal their identities, and Yan Muheng is even ready to exchange identities with Xie Yunmeng at any time to ensure the smooth operation of his actions.

Of course, this kind of thing is based on the fact that Mr. Criminal Police does not know that Yan Muheng has a second personality, if from the beginning, Mr. Criminal Police knew that Yan Muheng had a hidden dark side, he would definitely not let Yan Muheng exchange identities with himself and protect the little girl outside the court.

However, it turned out that before the three bloody fogs occurred, Yan Muheng had always been very normal, and he tried his best to protect Xixi.

After talking about Shan Mingze and Yan Muheng, let's talk about the Xixi nanny who died tragically.

There are several questions here, first, why does Sissy call the nanny aunt? Is it a name that I was used to from the beginning, or I changed it temporarily when I came to the mountains. If it's a temporary change, then it's important to figure out, what exactly is the reason for doing this? Second, the nanny was brutally murdered in the first place, and the time of death was the same as that of the housekeeper.

“…… Not at all! What did Officer Xie say? Shan Mingze asked while paying attention to the reaction of the person in his arms. Because he had already seen the bloody and horrific death scene, no matter where he found the body now, he would not be too shocked.

"Officer Xie said that the body should have died before you went up the mountain, and it is possible that one of the guests in the treacherous house was replaced in the first place." The grocery store owner replied in place of his wife.

"Officer Xie meant that there was a person in the treacherous house who used a fake identity, and he thought that person was probably the murderer, right?" Shan Mingze asked rhetorically.

"We can't be sure about this, but I think listening to Officer Xie's tone, he should think so." The boss replied.

Shan Mingze lowered his head, he looked at Xixi's face and thought, Xie Yunmeng was able to say his thoughts to the couple in front of him without reservation, which proved that he had absolute trust in this couple. Why? Could it be that the grocery store owner and his wife had known the police officers before? Or rather, they are also related to certain things.

Until now, the real names of the grocery store owner and his wife, not only Xie Yunmeng and Yan Muheng have not mentioned it, but even they themselves have kept their mouths shut, and they don't know what their surnames are. Shan Mingze wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, he dispelled this idea again.

Instead of asking questions, it is better to wait for them to say it themselves. When the truth of the case is revealed, everyone's identities will be revealed, which Shan Mingze is convinced of, even if it is a witness to be protected by the police, after catching the murderer and determining his safety, it will not be a big deal to say his true identity.

If you are yelling and trying to figure everything out now, it will arouse the suspicion of the criminal police. Shan Mingze knows that if Xixi can't change his words, you can't get rid of the suspicion of murder on his body. He has been pondering, how much trust does the criminal police have in him?

It's not that he doesn't trust his own judgment, but the current addition of Yun Yeyao, a detective who can make the criminal police obey, in the house makes Shan Mingze a little puzzled.

All thoughts just flashed through his mind in an instant, and Shan Mingze continued to ask, "What about the corpse?" Where did you move to? ”

"Alas! Speaking of that corpse, it's really pitiful, the lower half of the body was almost cut off," the grocery store owner sighed and said: "When the criminal police dealt with him, I secretly took a look, and all the body on his face was already rotten, and there were internal organs under the body, how miserable it was, how miserable it was!" I went to see Officer Xie take the body to the back of the kitchen, but what happened to it? I don't know, and Officer Xie didn't mention it when he came back. ”

Step by step, the footprints of the 'ghost' walked towards the place where the three people were upstairs, and under the tinkling light of the living room, something seemed to be shining in the void, it was a brooch, exactly the same as the Nami brooch that Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng saw at the door of the warehouse behind the restaurant.

The brooch's light fluctuated slightly in the void, and the light reflected off the ground, forming several small dots, which had been in front of the black footprints, keeping a certain distance from them.

In fact, there is evidence left by the murderer in the restaurant kitchen, and although this evidence cannot directly identify who the murderer is, it can be of great help to the police to find the right clues.

Until now, no one has noticed, not even the actors and the criminal police. This is all thanks to the thick dirt in the kitchen, and it is this dirt that makes the evidence traces that should be obvious seem to disappear, hiding in the blind spot of sight.

Mr. Actor's neglect is because he is not experienced enough. And Mr. Detective, because of the corpse, he has no time to think of other things. All this provides convenience for the owner of the footprints at this moment.

The traces in the kitchen can also be said to be left by the 'ghost', but when he left these traces, he did not expect that he would become evidence of the murderer in the future. There was also the skin and black hair on the door frame of the food warehouse, all of which were accidentally left behind by the 'ghost', including the identical brooch.

These things, the 'ghosts' don't understand why Eternal wants to dispose of them for themselves? What purpose is it exactly?

One thing is certain, though, that Eternal has a crush on the 'ghost' and even puts the 'ghost' under his protection. Of course, what Eternal wants to protect is not the true personality of the 'ghost', but the identity he presents to everyone.

The 'ghost' has always used the truth to cover up the deception, the deception to confuse the vision, and then the truth that the sight can reach to protect itself. The family of the House of Treachery and the 'Ghost' unknowingly provided all the conveniences necessary for his plan.

Is the 'ghost' indeed a person in the house who can escape the close surveillance of the criminal police without suspicion, no matter who he really is? He must be one of the trusted people, and he is a person who is being sent out by the criminal police to operate.

As soon as the proprietress said this, Shan Mingze immediately jumped up, he couldn't believe his ears, he did have a skin-to-skin relationship with Xixi, but that was more than a month ago, and in the time after that, what Xixi and her new boyfriend did, he couldn't know at all. Now at this life-and-death juncture, if Cissy is really pregnant, how can her body stand it?!

"Auntie, you can't be mistaken! Impossible, how could Sissy ......!! ”

"Mr. Shan, don't get excited, now, you two do what I say, husband, you wrap up in a down jacket and go outside the door first, avoid it! Also, go to the kitchen and fetch as much water as you can, don't ...... Alas! I'm stupid! The faucets must be frozen, husband, first take all the bottled water in the house to the door of the house for backup, and then go to the warehouse, take as much mineral water as you can, remember to go out to set a few more clothes, pay attention to safety! ”

"Okay, I'll go right away." The boss nodded, quickly stood up, grabbed the clothes on the chair and walked out.

After he left, the proprietress immediately said to Shan Mingze: "It's about the life and death of the little girl, don't worry about it, help me go to the bag and take out all the clean towels and cloths immediately." ”

"Auntie, you, did you say that if Xixi is really pregnant, is it possible to have a miscarriage?"

"If she has a child in her belly who is less than a month old, how can she withstand such a toss back and forth, if my expectations are good, the child will not be able to keep it, we can only find a way to keep the adult, you don't have other ideas, just concentrate on helping me!"

"But...... But ......" Shan Mingze hurriedly turned out all the things in the big bag and small bag, and wanted to ask a question, but he didn't know what to say, he was really panicked, and he stammered for a long time without telling the reason.

"Shut up! You men are like this, you only think about yourself, do you know how difficult it is for women to have children?!! I was the same back then, half of my foot was in the coffin board, but the old immortal still cared if the child was a man or a woman!! I said, can you cool off at a time like this! Yes!! ”

"Yes, yes, Auntie, don't be angry, I'll come right away!" Shan Mingze can't care about losing face, the proprietress is right, now Xixi's life is the most important, and everything else can only stand aside.

Thinking of this, Yun Yeyao stopped, he had completely entered the role of the imprisoned, and the loneliness revealed from his face was bringing everyone into the play little by little. Liu Qiaopu observed these people who were entering the play, he was looking for a target, and Yan Muheng was about to ask questions.

Downstairs, there is also a narrator, an observer and a questioner, but the narrator's acting skills are not good, the observer's analytical ability is far less than that of the old criminal policeman, and the questioner's temper is a little short-tempered.

Let's take a look at how upstairs will develop:

Yan Muheng asked, "The problem of time has been revealed since we entered the treacherous house. There are no clocks in the treacherous house except for the big clock, Sister Wang, your family's statement is that the hostess hates clocks extremely much and doesn't want to hear any related sounds, now I ask again, are you sure that's the case? ”

"No," the mother-in-law replied, "Before Anze's daughter was locked up here, there were clocks in the house, but then they were all thrown away by Anze, and he said that Anze hated clocks very much, and saw that time would make her mentally worse, so she threw away all the clocks." I think it's actually Anze himself who hates clocks. ”

"What about Sister Wang? Do you know anything about this? Yan Muheng turned to Sister Wang and asked.

Sister Wang shook her head and said, "All I know is what Mr. Housekeeper told me, he just said that you can't bring clocks into the house, and nothing else has been said." ”

"Well, the next question is for the others, what do you think about it? In the last room on the third floor, Xiao Yao and I saw the table clock described in the diary, which was no longer gone, but it didn't seem to be scrapped. ”

"What do you want to say about clocks? Or is it about Manman or the hostess? Lian Fan asked rhetorically, his position was now diagonally opposite Vinmanman, and his face could be seen under the cloak.

Without waiting for Yan Muheng to answer, Lu Haoyu said directly: "In terms of time, I agree with my mother-in-law's opinion, it's not that An Ze's daughter hates clocks, but An Ze himself, I think An Ze can build a house in this kind of place, which in itself shows that he is already a madman." It's always unreasonable for a madman to do things, so I can't guess why. Speaking of Manman, she quarreled with her mother-in-law as soon as she came, and her strange behavior was not explained at all, and I think she was deliberately avoiding it. ”
