Chapter Twenty-Seven: Suspicion and Concern in the Dining Room
When Yun Yeyao, Yan Muheng and his wife, and Liu Qiaopu returned to the restaurant, everyone's eyes immediately looked at them, but no one asked, and the expressions on their faces looked a little weird.
Yun Yeyao looked at everyone, those new faces who had just met, each with their own stories behind them. And Yun Yeyao's intuition is like a dream, exploring these secrets in his heart.
The footsteps approached Yan Muheng unconsciously, and the two of them stood side by side, with the same tall figure and the same rigorous movements, except for the scar on Yan Muheng's face, which was a bit of a bad scenery, the others were so matched. Even Yan Muheng's wife Xiaomei consciously stood with Liu Qiaopu.
Xiao Mei still had the residual blood on her hands that had not been wiped off, so in order not to cause panic among everyone, she secretly put her hands behind her back to prepare to wipe them clean with the folds of her skirt.
"No, use this." Old man Liuqiao Pu said suddenly, his eyes were still looking ahead, but in the palms hanging on his sides, he didn't know when there were a few more napkins.
"Grandpa Liu, your observation skills are really good!" Xiao Mei smiled and whispered a word of praise, and then gently took the napkin with the tip of her fingers.
Liu Qiaopu didn't continue to speak, as an old criminal policeman, it was necessary for him to suspect anyone now, including Xiao Mei around him. So now, he had to listen to what everyone was saying, and use it as the basis for his next judgment.
Xiao Mei's eyes stared at Liu Qiaopu's side face for a long time, and secretly pulled Yan Muheng's fingers in front of her with her hand, and stuffed a lump of napkins into Yan Muheng's palm. Yan Muheng's hand immediately clenched. These actions of the two couples were not noticed by Liu Qiao Pu and Yun Yeyao.
Xiao Mei seems to have been born to do hidden work, she knows very well when to show a little flaw to others, and when to hide herself like a beast in the night. How much conspiracy is there under her beautiful face? It's as if no one can guess.
But at the moment when Xiao Mei turned around and wanted to find a place to sit down, Yan Muheng's hand reached into the palm of another person's hand, and this time, the old man Liu Qiaopu who was standing behind them could see it clearly, but what was strange was that the hot-tempered old man didn't say a word, but let the situation develop.
The same napkin, passed through the hands of four people, and finally was temporarily hidden in the sleeve of a sweater by one of them. Who is the last person? Why couldn't Yan Muheng and Xiaomei deal with these things when they hadn't seen everyone just now, and wait until there were many people now to do something sneaky?
Maybe the mystery lies in the napkin in the palm of their hand, but for now, we don't know.
After being silent for a minute or two, Yun Yeyao suddenly found that Sister Wang was not in the restaurant, so he asked, "Where is Sister Wang?" ”
"Sister Wang went to call the master's house, but she hasn't come here yet." It was Wen Manman who answered her, and the girl's expression still looked so calm, and she was not a little more active because of the strange incident just now.
As soon as Wen Manman's words fell, the fat butler immediately picked up: "Probably our hostess doesn't want to meet strangers, she hasn't seen anyone other than us for almost five or six years. Especially in the last two or three years, even we rarely see the hostess. ”
"What? Is the owner of this place a girl? Yao Muqing asked, she had always thought that the owner of the treacherous house should be a man, and her classmates probably thought the same, because the same question could be seen from the expressions of Meng Qi'er and Qin Sen.
Lian Fan didn't have the heart to think about this now, he had been worrying about the luggage and wallet in his room, and of course, some personal necessities, but he was too embarrassed to ask the four people who had just come out of the room, that would make people feel that they didn't trust them, so he had to worry silently alone.
Xia Tomato spends most of his time staring at Yun Yeyao's side face, most of his attention is attracted by this man, maybe he doesn't have enough sense of danger now to be like this, but at this moment, without knowing the exact facts, who will have enough sense of danger?
Yun Yeyao has been thinking about how to tell other people who don't know about the situation in the room, because Lian Fan still has to use the guest room at night, so it's not a good thing to hide it.
"Lian Fan," Yun Yeyao cleared his throat and said, "We have taken your luggage and belongings to the recreation room, you will go and take stock of it yourself, and we may have to let you move to that empty room tonight, because there are some special conditions in your original room......"
"Really?!" Lian Fan didn't care about what special situation was happening in the room, he heard that his luggage had been taken out, and he kicked off the chair and ran in the direction of the entertainment room.
Ignoring Lian Fan's actions, Yun Yeyao continued: "In fact, Lian Fan's room is covered with blood for someone I don't know, and there is no way to clean it up at all. We suspect that someone may have killed the animal and spilled blood in the room to play a prank. ”
"Isn't it possible that someone has been killed? When this happens in suspense and horror novels, there should always be a victim! Qin Sen seemed to have read too many novels and said such things.
"Xiao Qin, this is not a novel, it is reality, it is not so easy to commit murder!" Liu Qiaopu said immediately, his stern eyes made Qin Sen shrink his neck slightly, and he didn't dare to squeak anymore.
The others also looked at each other at this moment, and they all wanted to hear what Yun Yeyao would say next.
But at this time, at the door connecting the dining room and the living room, someone interrupted their conversation.
Sister Wang walked in from the direction of the living room tiredly and said to the housekeeper, "The hostess and the horror are gone!" I searched around the study and their rooms to no avail. ”
"Are you sure?" The housekeeper immediately stood up, and Sister Wang's words seemed to have given him a big blow, and said, "I'll come back when I go." With that, Mr. Butler rushed into the living room in three steps and two steps.
"Grandpa Liu, I'll leave it to you here, I'll take a look too." After Yun Yeyao turned around and said something to Liuqiao Pu, he immediately followed the housekeeper.
"Good!" Liu Qiaopu knew what he meant, and he didn't say anything, and sat down on an empty seat on the edge of the dining table. The old detective's eyes always fell on the people in the restaurant, and he didn't dare to slack off.
At this moment, Yan Muheng also wanted to go with Yun Yeyao, he obviously showed a worried look on his face, but as soon as he walked a few steps, he was pulled by Xiao Mei behind him, Xiao Mei frowned, and kept shaking his head at Yan Muheng, as if he didn't want him to leave his side because he was uneasy.
But in Liu Qiaopu's eyes, Xiao Mei's eyes are more like another meaning, but the old man doesn't want to say it yet.
Yan Muheng didn't go out in the end, and after listening to Xiao Mei's words, he also sat opposite everyone, and his ugly face was even tighter at the moment.
