Tao Muqing and Xia Tomato snuggled together, maybe at this moment, in such a terrifying and cold night, they felt that each other was the most trustworthy friend.

Everyone else is more or less related to the incident, even Wen Manman, who was always trying to comfort others during the day yesterday, now has an indescribable weirdness in their eyes.

"Is Manman involved in something?" Xia Tomato leaned next to the ear of Tao Muqing, who was like a big sister next to her, and asked, her voice was as small as a mosquito calling.

Tao Muqing didn't dare to answer, but just shook her head in response to the words, indicating that she couldn't know. Xia Tomato was even more frightened by her reaction, and the whole person was about to shrink into the bed like Xixi.

Her mind is no longer on Mr. Actor. After all, life is at stake, and more than anything else, deserves attention. Tao Muqing was a little bolder, she stared at Wen Manman for a while, and didn't find anything unusual at all.

Retracting his gaze and resting his face on the top of Natsu Tomato's head, he waited like everyone else to know when the answer would be announced.

'If you really get killed by the murderer!' So what should I do if I finally got the opportunity to perform? The opportunity of Luo Yifan's studio, if you miss it once, you will never have it again. ’

At this time, the only person who can still think of performing may be Tao Muqing, right? Maybe this opportunity is really important to her, or maybe she's just trying to get ahead.

Anyway, no matter what, Tao Muqing and Xia Tomato could not forget the tragic situation when Meng Qi'er died. Moreover, did Mr. Detective do anything exactly? It is also the thing that the two little girls guessed the most.

Should full trust be given at all? They weren't sure yet, but there was one thing that could reassure the two little girls. They are always the followers who shrink behind everyone, and they can't figure out what they have to do with the murderer in this treacherous house.

In short, if there is no relationship, it means that they do not get attention, and if they do not get attention, it means that they have a much higher chance of surviving than others.

"Xiao Xia," Tao Muqing suddenly buried her head in the quilt and said to Xia Tomato: "Don't look at anything, don't think about it, try not to pay attention to the existence of the murderer, as long as the murderer doesn't feel any threat from us." Maybe he won't do anything to us. ”

The cook suddenly had a fear that she was about to reach the end of her life, 'Why is this happening?' If they hadn't come, Mr. Housekeeper and I would have lived happily ever after. The resentment in my heart cannot be expressed with my mouth.

In fact, the regret is not all about accepting the people who are gathered around me now, and the wrong results of my own judgment more than ten years ago, at that time, as a family member who has been following the old master An Ze, the cook lady does not understand what kind of mood she is in to judge what Ms. Wen has done.

What Ms. Wen did and what kind of painful process she went through at that time, the old chef's heart has always been a bright light, but what does this matter have to do with the murder? Why on earth did that person lock Ms. Wen in the clock and not kill her?

The cook's mother-in-law couldn't think clearly, she didn't see the actual appearance of the scene, and most of her thoughts that became chaotic and painful because of physical discomfort were in the midst of the strike.

Paragraph after paragraph of blank space constantly occupies the space that gray brain cells can relate, compressing them into the corners of the brain, making the thoughts completely incoherent, so that the pain becomes clearer.

Curled up, the diminutive mother-in-law wrapped herself tightly just to absorb more warmth. But her coldness did not come from outside her body, but from her weak body. So it doesn't have much effect at all.

Therefore, when Qin Sen woke up and saw her appearance, he felt so pale and weak, so that Qin Sen had to worry about whether something had happened to the cook? Secretly go to confirm her life and death.

There was another person who actually discovered the abnormality of the cook, but he didn't have the courage of Qin Sen, so he could only secretly move his body a little.

This person is originally a character who protects himself, and he only thinks about himself at critical moments, even if he has a gentleman-like appearance and a disguise that makes girls unpredictable, he can't hide his cowardly and selfish character.

Lu Haoyu felt that he was the real marginal person at the moment, and he had nothing to do with the treacherous house and all the people here, why did he come to Dai Zongshan to travel?

The old man's words were hidden in the ears of the little one, and after the policewoman listened to it, her eyes suddenly lit up and asked; "Really?"

"Shhhh This matter is determined by Xiao Yao, he didn't sleep at all in the second half of the night, don't alarm the others, after the notification, go back and stay with Xiao Meng, wait for me to come over, as for Yan Muheng, I will send him a new task. ”

"Xiao Yao suspects that this guy is ......, according to his actions, this statement is indeed possible, we can't limit ourselves to simply chasing the murderer now, there are some things that only you and Xiao Meng have the ability to do, so hurry back and rest, and wait for dark to take over."

"Okay, I see, teacher, be careful yourself." After the small is finished, I immediately turn back to the way I came.

And Liu Qiaopu approached the basement again without moving, he put his steps very lightly, and when he poked his head out of the basement entrance, he looked around, except for the body of the housekeeper who had stiffened, there was no one else in the basement at all.

Above Liu Qiaopu's head, there was the sound of a person pacing, and it could be heard that this person seemed to be very agitated, and each step was very heavy, and the sound of broken bricks and rubble was constantly rubbing.

After making sure that there would be no danger, Yanagihashi walked into the basement, which he had seen for the first time, and as soon as he entered it, he was keenly aware of the problem of dry air.

The old man didn't feel around the wall like Yan Muheng, but stood at the edge of the gap in the wall and paused silently for a while, and then used his hand to dig into the cracked part of the wooden board, pulled out a little gray-black powder from it, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it.

That's enough, the question of the walls doesn't need to be delved into. Yanagihashi walked under the entrance to the basement connecting the ruins and looked up.

The footsteps continued, and the person above must be Yan Muheng, and he definitely knew the hidden problems in this basement.

But even if he confronts Yan Muheng now, he won't say it, and he must wait until there is substantial evidence.

Eternal was very proud, Yan Muheng didn't find its existence, the shadow left in the corner of the ruins was the evidence that he had been here, but Yan Muheng completely ignored the past.

'You fool, you won't even notice that I was actually around him.' Eternal thought, "I must find out the murderer hiding in the treacherous house, no matter what, Yan Muheng can help me protect Xixi and Terror." ’

"If you do a good job," Eternal raised his head towards the void, as if he was speaking to Yan Muheng, "I'll let the young man come back, I clearly know that he doesn't love Shu Xue, and he doesn't love horror......"

"But, Eternal, how do you know whose feelings are less? You haven't even seen him in person. It was as if a voice was responding to Eternal out of sight.

Hearing this, Eternal smiled, squinting at the corners of his eyes.

"I know that I have seen the lesser than the others, and I can see everything that he sees through the eyes of that man...... Do you think such a pedigree is annoying? Oh, yes! I feel the same way as you......"

The response vanished, along with Eternal's memories, and the man gathered his expression, scurrying to where he was now headed, covered in frost marks......

In the cold corridor, Mei Xiao walked briskly, and she had to let someone's shadow return to Liuqiaopu before she turned around.

Fortunately, the goal is clear, and action can also be done with half the effort. Mei Xiaoxiao pushed open the door in front of him with great force, and pulled the person lying inside violently, and the person looked at the policewoman with a frightened look in an instant.

"I don't have time to explain more, come with me." After the policewoman finished speaking, she took the huddled human body into another space behind the corridor.

After about a moment, the figure of another girl suddenly rushed out of the place where she had disappeared and rushed in the direction where she had come, as if she was anxious about something, and the expression on her face was full of fear.

Yun Yeyao immediately raised her head from Xie Yunmeng's shoulder, and asked with concern, "Mother-in-law, how do you feel now?" Do you have heart medication at home? ”

"The last box of fast-acting heart-saving pills at home was gone when I ate it last time, and my memory is not good, I forgot to let Xiao Heng go down the mountain to buy it several times, let's take it first."

"That Manman, you and the little girls are optimistic about your mother-in-law, you can't let her be frightened anymore, we will try our best to arrest the murderer, and everyone must not disperse from today onwards."

"I know, that's the way it can be for now." Wen Manman replied with some frustration, her eyes unconsciously glanced to the side of Ms. Wen, whom she called her mother, and the expression on her face became even more gray when she realized that Ms. Wen was not looking at her at all.

When Liu Qiaopu saw Yan Muheng, he was not angry, but asked lightly: "Have you found any traces of the murderer?"

Yan Muheng had just come down from the ladder at the moment, and he hadn't stood firm yet, when he heard the old man ask, he didn't know how to exit the explanation he had thought of, and he was stunned in place.

He thought that according to the temper of this old criminal policeman, he would definitely say a bunch of questioning words, but now, he actually directly gave himself a high-sounding reason, so that Yan Muheng didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

Liu Qiaopu was not in a hurry, squatting next to the corpse to check and inspect himself, waiting for Yan Muheng's answer.

After a while, Yan Muheng finally came back to his senses and said, "Grandpa Liu, I haven't found any clues, and I've been to the cave in the rocky ground, but there are no footprints or bloodstains. ”

"This is normal, come here, do you still have battery on your phone?" Yanagihashi asked.

"No, you want to take pictures, right?"

"As soon as the terror pushed, the housekeeper and the guardrail tilted down to the roof of the main house together, and they happened to be seen by the cook who went upstairs, causing the cook to mistakenly think that the butler was pushed into the snow by terror."

Liu Qiaopu didn't plan to tell Yan Muheng about the chef's suspicions, but his analysis just now was indeed the truth. The place where Xie Yunmeng and he carefully inspected the guardrail had been maliciously vandalized. And the blood stains on it were not splattery, as if someone was leaning on it when they were leaning there.

Yan Muheng asked, "Is the beard of that corpse on the snow fake?" ”

"It's a real beard, we can't explain that, that's all we can do at the moment. However, judging from the person's appearance and physical signs, I think his identity is more inclined to be a housekeeper. ”

"The murderer kills the butler here, and no matter which way he escaped, he will erase his footprints. Think about it, are there not a single footprint in the places you are looking for? ”

"Yes." Yan Muheng replied honestly.

"Is this normal?" Liu Qiao Pu asked again.

Yan Muheng just shook his head and continued to stare at the old man with all his attention.

Liu Qiao Pu said: "Just Xiaoxiao went back and forth twice in the underground cave, as well as Lian Fan who was trapped here, as well as your footprints, why they all disappeared, there is only one explanation, that is, the murderer erased all the footprints in order to eliminate his traces." ”

"It's useless to turn over the entire ruins, the killer has already erased the surface traces unless there are professional investigative tools. But there is one place where the murderer has no way to remove the traces. ”

After Liu Qiaopu finished speaking, he looked at Yan Muheng meaningfully, waiting for his question, but Yan Muheng did not speak, he seemed to be waiting for the old criminal policeman to say the place himself.

After a few seconds of stalemate between the two men, Yanagihashi stood up, silently turned over Mr. Cook's body, and then pointed to the ground under Mr. Chef's body and said, "This is it." ”

"Why?" There was some horror on Yan Muheng's face.

Liu Qiao replied, "You take a closer look and ask." ”

"There is also a slight inference to be drawn from this, that this man must have been waiting here for a long time, that he must be a man who has plenty of time to get out of the house, and that he must not be spotted until he returns. This brings us to the possible accomplices. ”

"Let's leave aside who the accomplice is, the murderer must have thought that Mr. Cook's body would be left here for at least half a day, and by the time we got up and arrived here again, the chef's body would have begun to decompose and swell slightly."

"It's cold in the basement, but it's much warmer than outside, and with the stuffiness and humidity, the corpses are more likely to decay, which makes the cook and the butler even more confused."

"That makes the chef and the butler even more confusing." Liu Qiaopu continued: "But the murderer didn't expect that you and Xiaoxiao would temporarily decide to return with Xixi and make peace with us. And it was precisely the path he chose to commit murder. ”

"This caught the murderer off guard, and when you entered the ruins, he may still be there, and when he heard footsteps outside, he quickly left the cave in the rock."

When Liu Qiaopu said this, Yan Muheng asked: "But, doesn't the murderer still have to eliminate the footprints?" If he had just fled when we entered the ruins, wouldn't that be too time-sensitive? ”

Liu Qiaopu stood up, he walked to the edge of the wall and asked Yan Muheng: "Put aside the question of footprints and time, do you feel that the air here is much drier than in the rock cave?" ”

"yes!" Yan Muheng didn't understand why the old man suddenly mentioned the matter of air and walls. He looked at Liu Qiaopu a little stupidly, waiting for him to continue.

Liu Qiaopu pointed to the crack on the wall with his finger and said to Yan Muheng: "Come here, pick it with your fingers and see, what's in here?" ”

Yan Muheng immediately walked over, he put a finger into the crack, picked it hard, and then retracted it, and found that the nails were all gray-black, that is, like dirt and powder. Yan Muheng looked at it carefully, and then suddenly realized and said, "This is sand? ”

The so-called someone, only Eternal knows in his heart, and Yan Muheng or other people who know him don't know, so for the time being, even if the old criminal police find the right direction, it will not affect Eternal's future actions to a great extent, but he must be careful.

——

Yan Muheng felt palpitations again, were Liu Qiaopu's words testing him, or did he really trust him? The tall man's heart is completely bottomless.

'If only I could know where Eternal is, this person may be the one standing in front of the chef just now, but how can I explain this to the old detective in front of me?' In any case, I can't get out of it. Mental activity can't be maintained for too long, Yan Muheng must maintain his attention and listen to Liu Qiaopu with full attention.

What the old detective told him to do was actually very simple, which was to go to the food warehouse and bring the evidence left there—those live chickens into the villa and hide them, which, in the words of Liu Qiaopu, would be useful later.

But Yan Muheng couldn't, because he knew that someone had destroyed the evidence in the food warehouse, who was this person? Yan Muheng was a little vague, and even if he saw him destroy the evidence with his own eyes, the man was also very confused.

But faintly, there was a voice hidden in the shadows that kept reminding him: 'Don't look for evidence, it's gone, Eternal will find your ......'

Yan Muheng hugged his shoulders, stood a little stunned and asked, "Grandpa Liu, is it really necessary to bring that kind of thing in?" Yan Muheng felt that the chickens in the food warehouse, in addition to being made into food, were useless to bring to the house, and they would also cause panic among the survivors.

Yan Muheng didn't want to hide his true thoughts from Liu Qiaopu, so he simply said all of them, and after listening, Liu Qiaopu said: "Those things really have no substantive meaning, and we don't want to use them to intimidate anyone, we just need an autopsy." ”

Liu Qiaopu's words sounded like a joke, Yan Muheng looked at the old criminal policeman with wide eyes, and he almost blurted out: "What are you kidding?!" Such rude words.

After holding it for a long time, Yan Muheng asked, "Grandpa Liu, do you want to examine the carcasses of those chickens?" ”

"Yes, in order to compare something obtained at the scene of the murder, and also to get the key evidence at the time of Meng Qi'er's death."

Under the dim light, the small square space is like a cage that people can't get out of, and the doors in the front and back of the room are not locked, but Shu Xue still feels a breathless restraint in it.

She loves the owner of this family, not only because the owner of this family has taken care of her wholeheartedly before, but also because Shu Xue can realize the connection between the same blood.

She came here with someone first, and the person who protected her would be outside for her to block all possible suspicions, as well as those people and things that were not good for her, and Shu Xue just had to hide herself.

With mechanical movements in her hands, Shu Xue didn't know when she would be able to finish her work. The clothes on her body were exactly the same as someone's, and they were already soaked in dots of dark liquid, no matter how careful Shu Xue was, she still couldn't avoid soiling her clothes.

After more than an hour, Shu Xue didn't bother to care about these details. He just wanted to finish the task quickly, get out of this suffocating place quickly, the door behind him opened a crack, and the cold wind kept blowing on Shu Xue's thin back, but the cold in the air was almost nothing compared to the chill emanating from inside her body.

didn't notice that the people who were talking outside had secretly come back to see her a few times, Shu Xue was still engrossed in her thoughts, when was the other girl coming? She is so similar to herself, but completely different.

Shu Xue has no way to explain the problem revealed by the pair of antonyms of similarity and difference, but as long as she understands it in her own heart, in fact, she doesn't need to explain it to others.

The time was almost close to one o'clock in the afternoon, and there was a foul smell on the ground of the space where Shu Xue was, including herself, and finally finished her work, Shu Xue stood up after throwing the last thing in her hand to the ground.

At this time, the clean clothes were already on the side, and she was also preparing to return to the place where she had been hiding after the avalanche, where there was a kind couple who were helping Shu Xue and someone she had loved before, but now she could no longer love.

"Alas!" Sighing lightly the turbidity in her heart, Shu Xue sighed for the blood veins that she didn't know whether she should be happy or disgusted. When she was young, she never thought that there was anything wrong with her bloodline, but now, Shu Xue began to waver.

"——,Why are you here now? Have you already got all this stuff done? Horror asked, looking at the person and the bulging bag in her hand.

The visitor did not answer, but walked straight up to the horror and pulled her up from the ground, making her look into his eyes.

Horror suddenly felt a panic, the pupils of his eyes revealed a gaze so unfamiliar, even made Horror feel extremely cold, his body unconsciously took two steps back, and Horror's heart pounded without warning.

It was as if a voice was reminding her in her ear: 'Get out of here, the farther away the better!' In an instant, Treadful accepted the offer of nothingness, and with his aching hands, he gently pushed the man in front of him away, and ran through the small hidden door.

And the person who pulled her up, silently watching the back of the horror leaving, didn't seem to think that there was anything strange about it? There was not the slightest expression on his face.

When the horror was gone, the man threw the bag to the side and began to open the mountain of items in front of him little by little......

——

Morning of December 31, 2014 (Second day of arrival at the House of Treacherous)

Yan Muheng's body was gradually revealing some points that were still not clear, Liu Qiaopu could certainly feel it, he was silent, still discussing with Yan Muheng the evidence of the destruction of the food warehouse.

Yan Muheng was gradually revealing some doubts that were still unclear, and Liu Qiaopu could certainly feel it, he was silent, still discussing with Yan Muheng the evidence of the destruction of the food warehouse.

"Did you see any suspicious characters when you were walking back and forth in the snow in the middle of the night?" Yanagihashi asked.

In fact, the answer to this question does not need to be answered by the other party, he can also guess that with such a big snowstorm, it is still in the middle of the night, and there are so many hiding places around, it is impossible for Yan Muheng to see suspicious characters.

As expected, the tall man in the past immediately gave a negative answer, and Liu Qiaopu pondered for a while and continued: "Then there will be a little trouble, but in any case, we can't give up hope now, so be it!" Whatever you can find? You'll go back and take a look, especially the edge of the cliff where the ruins are located, to see if there are any traces left by the killer when he destroyed the evidence. ”

Well, to get back to the point, Liu Qiao Pu didn't communicate with the girl too much, and with full of doubts, he and the girl he just met quickly went back to the inside of the treacherous house.

They want to go back to meet the other survivors, and at this moment, it is the time for Yun Yeyao and Liu Hang to talk to someone on the overpass, and it won't be long before Liu Hang will disappear and face an uncertain situation of life and death, and the outcome of all this will go in a direction that Yun Yeyao and Liu Qiao Pu did not expect at all.

Eyes shifted to Mei Xiaoxiao's side, at this moment the policewoman was shuttling in the corridor where the sunlight should not be permeable, the little courage was very big, sometimes even bigger than Xie Yunmeng, she didn't grope through room by room like Yun Yeyao, because it was too much of a waste of time.

Xiao Xiao directly rushed to the top floor in one go, and came to the place that he had ignored just now, the wallpaper on the wall had been completely torn off, and the corner of one side of the wall had also been completely destroyed by Xie Yunmeng, revealing the building materials that had already been hollow like a honeycomb inside.

Xiao Xiao rummaged through the rubble, looking for the charred finger-like things, which had been seen at the scene of the murder in the second room of the brown tower, where Sissy, Jokley, and Xiaoxiao had all seen them being thrown on the ground at random, but after the corpse was gone, the charred finger-like things disappeared with them.

At that time, Yanagihashi Pu went to the autopsy and once found one, judging from his years of experience, it was more like the toe of an animal than a human finger. It's not just the size, it's also the degree of curvature that looks weird.

Therefore, Liu Qiaopu suspects that it may be the toes of those chickens outside, but there are several problems in this, first, what is the purpose of the murder scene that the murderer cut off the toes of those chickens and scorched them? Second, why did you take it away with the corpse afterwards? Where did the toes go?

This is one of the reasons why Liu Qiao Pu asked Yan Muheng to go to the food warehouse to bring back those chickens, because after Xie Yunmeng and Yun Yeyao came back from inspecting the food warehouse, they both made it clear that they did not find that the chickens in the warehouse had their toes cut off, and these two people generally do not ignore this kind of problem, however, out of professional habits, Liu Qiao Pu still wants to confirm it himself before making a conclusion.

So can I explain my doubts to him? Secretly told him all the clues that he didn't know and his suspicions about Yan Muheng, and then asked him to instigate the criminal police to investigate, so that he could speak a lot more openly, and he didn't have to be so scared.

Thinking about the murder case, Qiao Keli didn't notice the vigilant gaze of the men behind him at all, maybe Qin Sen and Liu Hang still think that Qiao Keli is also a criminal policeman, which makes them look a lot more restrained in front of Qiao Keli.

There were still men left on the top floor who didn't come out to wash, that is, Liu Hang and the people lying on the bed, which did not include Yun Yeyao, Xie Yunmeng and Liu Qiaopu, because the three of them naturally came out to wash after everyone.

After the boys have washed up, they need to wait in the living room for the girls to come downstairs, and when the girls wash, they naturally become guardians, which is part of the reason why the boys go downstairs first.

After he couldn't see Qiao Keli's figure, Qin Sen secretly asked Lian Fan, "Where did you go yesterday?" ”

Lian Fan, who was cleaning the dirt from his hair, was stunned for a second by his question, and then replied, "Actually, I fell into an underground cave. ”

"No, isn't that the basement of this house, did you fall from the bathroom?" Qin Sen hurriedly added questions.

"I don't know!" Lian Fan said with a look of embarrassment: "When I wanted to come out after going to the bathroom, I opened the door and went to a strange room, and then when I was looking for the right direction, I stepped on the air and fell down. It was so deep that I didn't know how dangerous it was, and I almost didn't fall to my death! ”

Hearing Lian Fan say this, Qin Sen frowned and pondered, and after a while, he continued to ask, "Could it be that someone is deliberately plotting against you?" ”

“…… No way, I didn't see a single figure at the time, and I don't know how I opened the door and went to another place, anyway, this house is very abnormal...... I think it's better for us to move less, maybe there's some trap there's still there. ”

"Later, when we use the bathroom, it's best not to close the door, in case the previous situation occurs, if we are not trapped to death, I guess we will also starve to death!" Lian Fan said dejectedly.

Lu Haoyu glanced back at Qin Sen's face and found that he didn't have much fear, so he hurriedly withdrew his gaze and said, "Do you have any flaws that they can find?" ”

"Of course there is none, how could I have anything to do with the homicide?!" Qin Sen hurriedly cleared up the relationship, and his voice raised a lot, Lian Fan, who was sitting on the side, kept his head down and kept silent, as if he had not yet gotten rid of the shadow of the previous matter, Lu Haoyu secretly looked at him several times, but he didn't see anything suspicious.

Qin Sen was actually paying attention to Lian Fan beside him, but it was not as obvious as Lu Haoyu, it was an indisputable fact that Lian Fan had been missing for most of the day, even if the criminal police explained it to him, it was impossible not to be suspected. Especially people like Lu Haoyu who don't even believe in the criminal police.

The conversation continued, and it was Qin Sen who took the lead in speaking: "The murderer must be someone from this family, or the three people who survived the avalanche, we are new to the house, and it has nothing to do with this house at all." Maybe it was the missing mistress who did it, and so far we have no trace of her. ”

"Is there really a mistress in this house?" Lu Haoyu asked again, he kept asking questions, but he was stingy in saying what he thought, which made Qin Sen more and more anxious.

"How could it not be? A house must have an owner, or the hostess disguised herself as one of these servants, maybe the cook or Sister Wang, aren't these two people most likely to be pretended by the hostess? Maybe one of them has been killed in a corner of the house, and the body is abandoned in the rubble like Meng Qi'er! ”

"However, the cook and Sister Wang are the same people we saw the first day we entered the treacherous house, and they have always been by our side, and the hostess has no time to kill and pretend to be them!" Lu Haoyu denied Qin Sen's statement.

But there were also loopholes in his own statement, so Qin Sen immediately retorted: "I think you probably have a bad memory!" When we entered the treacherous house the night before, we only saw Sister Wang, and we only saw the cook and the housekeeper on the morning of the 30th, and the horror only saw on the afternoon of the 30th. Until now, not to mention meeting with the host, I haven't even heard a sound at all. ”

"Wait a minute, the two of us can only leave one with everyone, and the other will go upstairs to help before Xiaomeng and Xiaoxiao wake up." Liu Qiao Pu said to Yun Yeyao as if arranging work.

Yun Yeyao immediately nodded and said, "I'll go up as soon as I finish breakfast, change Xiao Qiao down, you have to be more careful here, during the day, you still have to rely on Yan Muheng and Xiao Qiao to help, and it shouldn't be much of a problem to hand it over to Xiao Meng and Xiao Xiao at night." The murderer had already suffered their losses last night, and it should be much more restrained tonight. ”

Liu Qiaopu looked at the unscrupulous wind and snow outside the window and said, "I hope this snow will stop soon!" If the criminal police under the mountain can come up, the people here can be truly safe! ”

The hands of the watch were already pointing to 9 o'clock in the morning, and the man in the restaurant opened his eyes in a daze, he and his wife thought they would stay awake all night, but as soon as they touched the bed last night, they fell asleep in a daze, and they didn't even dream.

Dizzy, there is a feeling of being top-heavy and fluttering, the middle-aged man finally let himself get up from the bed, but his eyelids are still so sour that he can't open them, he rubs his eyes with his hands, and at the same time pushes his wife on the side.

"Hey! Wake up, what time is it? The man asked.

It took about a minute or so for the woman to finally react, and like the man, she was dazed and couldn't wake up, and she didn't even speak intermittently, not knowing what she was talking about.

The two of them communicated for a long time before they finally came to their senses. When his mind cleared up, the man also came to his senses, he got up from the bed with a bone, grabbed the mobile phone on the bedside table and wanted to check the time. But the phone was out of power at all, and he remembered the watch placed next to the phone.

Eyes hurriedly browsed the watch dial, and then dropped it on the table, the man said while dressing: "There should be no danger during the day, we have to go home and see, you remember to put away the key here, the proprietress is usually a good person, she has not done anything real, and we can't be suspicious." ”

Although it is said that most people do not usually install the main valve in the bedroom, the man still decided to go back upstairs to have a look, and just as he took a step and walked in the direction of the stairs, a small exclamation of a woman suddenly came from the kitchen.

The man quickly turned around and ran into the kitchen, and before he could see what was happening, he yelled and asked, "What's wrong?" Wife. ”

"It's... Why did this door freeze? His wife was studying the back door in the kitchen and found that it wouldn't open, as if it was frozen in ice outside the crack.

"This kind of weather is normal! You take some water from the faucet and splash it. Seeing that nothing major had happened, the man's tone of voice was much more relaxed.

However, his words were immediately retorted by the woman: "You are really stupid! If you splash water in this kind of weather, you don't know how long the ice will melt? It's so cold in the house, I think it's better to forget it! Anyway, there are ingredients in the house, and we don't need to go to the pantry, just let it go through the back door. ”

"Whatever, I'll go upstairs, I don't see the main power supply of the air conditioner in the restaurant, I'll go upstairs to look for it."

"Isn't there only a bedroom upstairs? Besides, who would install the main valve in the bedroom? You must not have looked carefully, and then you went outside to look around, maybe behind the cabinet where the old things were stacked? ”

What the woman said is indeed reasonable, there are many things in the restaurant here besides tables and chairs, and maybe one of them covers the small door of the main power valve.

The man couldn't refute this, so he could only continue to go to the restaurant to take a closer look.

If the two of them stayed quietly in the house for a few days, nothing would happen, but it was a pity that the murderer's game would be seen sooner or later. Unless someone else unknowingly helps them.

And this person is Yan Muheng, at this moment, Yan Muheng, who was assigned by Liu Qiaopu, was already standing in the snow in the middle of the restaurant and the warehouse, and the wind and snow covered almost his entire body.

During the day yesterday, the criminal police thought that Yan Muheng had not moved, so Liu Qiaopu did not take into account the problem of physical strength when he arranged for him to come to the warehouse in the morning.

"Teacher, could it be that someone made an appointment with Meng Qi'er to meet in the room, so she would sneak away without you?" Yun Yeyao asked.

"It's unlikely, you think, at that time, except for Lian Fan, basically all the people got together, and excluding you, Xiaoxiao, Xiaohang, Xiaomeng and Xiao Qiao, only Man Man was able to date Meng Qi'er." Between the words, Liu Qiaopu glanced at Wen Manman behind him, and continued: "But she just came out of the brown tower at that time, you can all prove it. There was simply no time to set up such a murder scene. ”

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if it is Shu Xue who asks Meng Qi'er, with her appearance, it is indeed possible to pretend to be Manman, but when did Shu Xue make an agreement with Meng Qi'er? When I was downstairs, Meng Qi'er had been sitting at the table drawing or in a daze, and I had the impression that she was not involved in anything special at all, nor did she move around. ”

"It's possible that Shu Xue secretly went to Meng Qi'er after everyone fell asleep on the night of the 29th and asked her to meet the next evening." Yun Yeyao once again put forward the hypothesis.

Liu Qiaopu shook his head and said: "I think this possibility is also very small, although nothing has happened at that time, and everyone's vigilance is also very weak, but first of all, Shu Xue needs to have a reason to make Meng Qi'er feel that she must meet her alone." ”

"Secondly, on the evening of the 30th, although we didn't mention the murder case, it doesn't mean that everyone didn't speculate, and this incident can be fully reflected in Manman. Manman approached me on her own initiative to ask to participate in the investigation, and she was smart enough to see through the way the door opened on the other side of the study at once. ”

Meng Qi'er didn't look like a girl who was stupid enough to be ignorant of anything, at least her behavior before dinner made people feel that this girl was very good at hiding her presence. I always thought that her wayward and childish performances were not all true. ”

Liu Qiaopu said this, leaned back in the chair, raised his head and pondered, Meng Qi'er's actions were indeed suspicious, she really just couldn't resist the sleepiness, and went back to the room to sleep? Or did someone trick her into a secret passage and commit murder?

The success of the triple blood house was when Yun Yeyao and the criminal police had just entered the treacherous house and had no precautions, and the middle-aged woman's corpse dismemberment case and the disappearance of Ms. Wen and the hostess involved in it were also based on the same situation, and they were able to succeed smoothly.

The subsequent quick murder of opening and closing the door and Meng Qier's skeleton murder can be regarded as a successful operation from the perspective of the case itself. But the goal that the murderer wanted to achieve was completely destroyed by the criminal police. Therefore, we can imagine that the murderer's worry and panic at this moment are not much less than those of the survivors?

Next, after Xie Yunmeng left, what did 'Yan Muheng' and Shu Xue who remained in the secret passage do and say? (Here you can refer to the first half of chapter 79)

There are a few points that can absolutely confirm that they are deceiving and plotting against the criminal police, first, Xie Yunmeng vaguely saw the other girl, who fell on the other side of the secret passage, as soon as Xie Yunmeng left, the two of them immediately walked to the girl's side.

The girl has been killed, and from the conversation between 'Yan Muheng' and Shu Xue, we can guess that they are the most suspicious of murder. wanted to plot against Xie Yunmeng, and they also made it clear by themselves.

Another point is that since the incident, the contrast of Shu Xue's person has gradually emerged, in front of 'Yan Muheng', she behaves very coldly, and when her psychological activities are mentioned alone, she is full of concern for the horror and treacherous house.

In the secret passage of the tower, Shu Xue asked 'Yan Muheng': "Sister Wang, will she betray you?" She's been in that room all the time, and your disguise is easy to see through! ”

This sentence can show that no matter where the 'Yan Muheng' beside her was active before, she would definitely stay with everyone after that, and disguise herself as one of the survivors. Even if we ignore the issue of height here, 'Yan Muheng' can only pretend to be a boy, so the suspicion will not fall on the girls.

Also, she said, "If that trap can't control Mr. Detective, your identity will inevitably be revealed." This sentence Shu Xue said in an affirmative tone, that is to say, now in Xie Yunmeng's heart, who was that 'Yan Muheng' at that time? At least there is already a guess in the direction.

All expressions on his face, in an instant, were replaced by indifference and coldness. 'Yan Muheng's guy always has less success and more than failure. The man criticized in his heart, but he knew that at present, he had no way to deal with Yan Muheng.

The reason for this, of course, is also a secret, a secret that concerns several people. As long as Ms. Wen and Sister Wang don't speak, the criminal police won't know about these things, and as for the cook, she is already old and can't pose any threat. With the slightest intimidation, the old lady could die from cardiac arrest.

'Whew...... It's time to behave yourself. The man thought, his steps were obviously much faster than Yan Muheng, and within ten minutes, he walked to the place where Yan Muheng was standing.

But he wasn't that stupid, he stayed in the snowstorm and watched the situation, he went headlong into the food warehouse and began to look for the right tools.

They couldn't have guessed the real reason why the murderer had frozen the house, and that the grocery store owner and his wife were nothing more than a pair of cannon fodder, so I didn't care if they lived or died!" I've got to work harder and give the detectives something different......

——

Liu Qiao Pu and Yun Ye Yao waited left and right, and after everyone finished breakfast, Yan Muheng still did not appear, at this time, Liu Qiao Pu couldn't sit still, he said: "I have to go out and see, what happened to this kid?" If he is attacked by the murderer, then this matter is my fault old man! ”

"Wait, teacher, you stay, I'll go!" Yun Yeyao hurriedly said: "I can get out of the cave in the rocky ground, so that I can call Xiao Hang and Xiao Qiao upstairs by the way." I know Xiaomeng's habits, he has something on his mind, he can't sleep for long, and Xiaoxiao is the same. ”

"As long as they wake up, it will be redundant for Xiao Qiao and Xiao Hang to stay on it, and it will restrict their actions."

After thinking about Yun Yeyao's proposal for a while, Liu Qiaopu felt that he was really not suitable for running around, and it was better to sit among the survivors like yesterday and observe everyone's actions. In this way, several aspects of personnel can also be taken care of at any time.

Especially Xixi, since returning to the main house, her eyes have been fixed in the direction of Liuqiaopu, and her pale face and trembling lips all show that the fear in this little girl's heart is still playing an extreme role.

"Xiao Wang, why don't you let them move alone! You also need to rest for a while, and you can't always hold them. Liu Qiao Pu said.

His words were exchanged for a sigh from Sister Wang, "Alas! What can be done? The horror was already frightened by Mr. Butler's affairs, and Cissy refused to go near the others. Anyway, it's good to wait for the criminal police to find out the truth, I don't have anything else to do, just guard these two little girls! ”

"Wait a minute, you still need everyone's cooperation, you can't always walk around with them, right! Besides, there were so many things going on at night, and you didn't get a good night's sleep. Well, let's go to the kitchen with the other two girls and help out with some work. Maybe with something to do, they wouldn't be so scared. ”

Yanagihashi Pu made a suggestion as he stretched out his hand to Fear, who seemed to be much more stable than Cissy, and as long as she was willing to stand up, Cissy would not have much of a problem.

Sister Wang cooperated and whispered a few words in Horror's ear, perhaps in her familiar environment, Horror did not show any objection, but slowly stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

Although the cook has a bad heart, her thinking is still clear, she saw Liu Qiaopu's eyes delivered, and immediately beckoned Tao Muqing and Xia Tomato to share a little of the work in their hands to Horror, and the three of them pretended to have no guilt and began to talk with Horror.

Now there is only Xixi left, under the repeated persuasion of Sister Wang and Liuqiaopu, although Xixi's eyes were full of tears, she also stood up obediently, Liuqiaopu took her to Lian Fan and Wen Manman's side, and said to the graduates of the two dance academies: "You just talk to Xixi first, pay attention to take care of the little girl's emotions, Manman, you are the same age as Xixi, she will get rid of you." ”

"Okay." Wen Manman came back from his contemplation and accepted this small task very calmly, and Qin Sen on the other side of her also barely squeezed out a smile, moved to the side, and made way for Xixi.

Tapping his hand into the ice, Eternal found that it had been shattered by someone, revealing several long cracks inside.

It seems that Yan Muheng knows a lot! He always goes out to work, but it is really difficult for him to know the secrets of Ms. Wen's restaurant. Thinking to himself, Eternal took out the Xiaoice pickaxe he had prepared in his pocket and began to chisel the ice little by little.

At the same time, Eternal kept his movements as close to his hands as possible, while the rest of his body remained motionless. This is to prevent Yan Muheng, who left from behind, from finding out. He wore a long snow-white down jacket with his feet sunk in the snow. In the case of heavy snow and obscuring vision, it is indeed difficult to find a white body.

Soon after, there was a faint sound of footsteps walking in the snow behind him, it should be Yan Muheng who went to report, and only after he couldn't hear the movement at all, Eternal dared to expand the range of his movements.

For a few minutes, almost equivalent to hours outdoors at the moment, Eternal tried to speed up his movements so that he would not be frozen, and at the same time, he was also trying to attract the attention of the people in the house, and the grocery store owner and his wife were probably not aware of the crisis.

——

In the kitchen of the restaurant, a middle-aged woman was boiling a pot of porridge, and the steaming heat made her feel a little warmer, so she put her hands close to the edge of the iron pot to keep warm.

I don't know what's going on with the air conditioner in the house, it can't be turned on all the time, the main valve is found, and it's hanging on the inside of the wall cabinet above the kitchen. But it didn't work to turn it on, as soon as the air conditioner was turned on, it tripped right away. Anyway, the husband and wife don't understand this, and they can't figure out what went wrong.

The woman was so focused on breakfast that she didn't notice the slight knock outside the back door, and at this moment, Eternal was almost done, and his tall body was about to enter the kitchen to meet the woman.

I don't know what kind of expression the woman will use to deal with it next, is it a surprise? Or is it a fright? What we're most curious about is, who exactly is Eternal's true identity?

No one paid attention to Liu Qiaopu's behavior, and everyone's nerves were still tense, especially the girls, except for Wen Manman, almost everyone else seemed very panicked, their eyes turned out of the window from time to time, and everyone was praying that the wind and snow would stop soon.

After a moment, Liu Qiaopu's fingers suddenly trembled slightly, and then froze in place, as if he had grasped some important clue? But the old man didn't pull his hand out, but without everyone noticing, the whole person remained in a sluggish state and remained motionless.

At the same time, there was an almost inaudible sound of footsteps in the entertainment room, and the people inside cautiously moved towards the small door of the bathroom, which was currently the only one that could avoid everyone's sight.

He walked slowly, careful not to be heard by anyone outside, perhaps because everyone was too nervous, until there was a click in the recreation room, as if the lock was being tightened, and no one noticed the unusual situation.

"Huh? Someone seems to be closing the door in the recreation room! The first to question was Lu Haoyu, his seat was closest to the old man, and he seemed to feel a black figure flickering through it.

Lu Haoyu immediately swept a layer of white sweat all over his body, he quickly stood up and stretched out his head to look inside the entertainment room! Unexpectedly, after just one glance, he immediately screamed: "Grandpa Liu, that kid inside is gone!" ”

“！！” This voice made the people who were sitting stand up in an instant, Wen Manman can be regarded as the most sober one among all of them, she didn't do unnecessary useless work, and immediately took Xixi's hand and ran to Liuqiaopu.

shouted at him: "Grandpa Liu, wake up!" Shan Mingze ran away! ”

Seeing that Liu Qiao Pu did not react, Wen Manman pushed the old man with his hand again, but he didn't expect that with a push, Liu Qiao Pu slowly fell to the ground like a wooden man. Only then did everyone notice that his eye sockets and lips were blue-black, and his face was lifeless like a dead man.

With the impact of falling to the ground, the old man's gray hair was scattered on the floor, and a trace of dark black blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth......

'So he didn't want to abandon me... It seems that I have misunderstood, and he wants to take me to a safer place...... 'Cissy closed her eyes and excused her loved one in her heart, not at all expecting that it would be someone else who would pick her up.

A sly smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth, and he returned to the house, and quietly sneaked back into the crowd, and no one noticed his actions, because everyone's attention was still focused on the 'dead' old detective.

'Who killed him?' The people who would expose me are gone anyway! It won't be long before Sissi will freeze to death in the snow, and this kind of thing, they will naturally push it on the head of the murderer, and I don't need to worry about it at all. ’

The man thought, stretching out his foot and kicking the cowardly man who was still sitting on the ground. 'This timid guy looks decent on the surface, but in fact he is a scum in his bones! No one will be pitiful when they die. It's me, I have to think about how to explain to Xixi's parents in the future, property must not be given up, that matter is now the spearhead of the criminal police on Shan Mingze, I can not care! ’

The man pretended to be as panicked as everyone else, but his head was preoccupied with his own affairs, he thought that he had little to do with the secrets in the treacherous house, and should not be the target of the murderer, thinking about the fate that was about to change, the man was almost about to cheer.

Death is not only about fear, it is changing everyone's state of mind, those hidden, known and unknown fates, are fermenting in the hearts of different insiders, leading them to explore the direction of evil, and at the same time, the huge 'pit' is slowly beginning to expand under everyone's feet, ready to devour the lives missed by the murderer!

——

Shan Mingze had to leave because he needed to do something more important, and the man who had always been timid in his bones kept telling himself at this moment that he must be brave for the sake of important people, and he couldn't live up to the trust that he had finally ushered in, and he couldn't live up to the dedication of his relatives.

After confirming that the people outside could no longer hear his footsteps, Shan Mingze stretched out his legs and ran desperately towards the top of the corridor.

Xiao Meng hasn't said it in detail so far, and Xiao Xiao doesn't seem to know, with Yun Yeyao's understanding of Xie Yunmeng, it may be that some people or things that have been investigated have exposed the murderer, and maybe Xie Yunmeng himself has not realized where the evidence is.

'What must the murderer be afraid of?' I'm going to ask you in detail about the situation at the foot of Xiaomeng Mountain! Yun Ye thought to herself, trying to suppress the uneasiness that welled up in her heart.

His hand was placed on Liuqiaopu's chest, and he felt that the old man seemed to move, and Yun Yeyao hurried close to Liuqiaopu and asked, "Teacher!" Can you hear me? ”

“……”

Yanagihashi didn't answer, but his eyes opened slightly, and his lips opened. Yun Yeyao picked up his head and put his ear to the old man's mouth.

"Don't touch the left pocket of the down jacket, there is a ...... in it" Without anyone being able to hear it, the words that Yanagihashi Pu confided were very clear, and every word hinted at Yun Yeyao's important information.

"—plotted against Sissy, he was lying...... Don't worry about Shan Mingze, the brown tower should be guarded...... Let Xiaomeng come down. ”

Every word was engraved directly into Yun Yeyao's heart, he raised his head slightly, indicating that he remembered, and then let go of Liu Qiaopu and continued to command everyone to clean up the mess......

In the windowless room, Xie Yunmeng and Mei Xiaoxiao didn't have the heart to sleep, and they kept exchanging details about what happened during the operation, especially the part where Mei Xiaoxiao and Yun Yeyao met.

Xie Yunmeng calculated, it was possible to attack Yun Yeyao at that time, and only Yan Muheng who deceived him in the secret passage.

"Do you see what he looks like?" Mei Xiaoxiao leaned on Xie Yunmeng's arms and asked him, the policewoman always felt that Yan Muheng, who was in the grocery store, did not have enough time to act, and if he really left for a long time, the grocery store owner and his wife would also say it.

Xie Yunmeng didn't want to jump to conclusions, after all, the person he saw was disguised, but judging from his height and size, he had to believe that person was Yan Muheng.

"He's the same height as me, and judging by the way he walks and moves, there's no sign of camouflaging height." Xie Yunmeng replied while thinking: "However, I always feel that something is wrong, probably because of that corridor, the angle of the downward rotation of the corridor seems to be different from ordinary stairs. ”
