Chapter 41 Under the clues in the ruins

The continuous events made Yun Yeyao almost forget that he was still cold, and he walked beside Yan Muheng with anxiety on his face. In fact, in the food warehouse just now, Yun Yeyao and Yan Muheng did not find nothing. In addition to the chickens under the food pile, they found some clues.

For example, a small pearl brooch, I don't know if the boss lady wore it, because when I first met the boss lady, I didn't see the brooch in my impression. At the very least, it could be proven that one of the women had done something in the food warehouse before them. It could also be that the horror threw it when he took the food, so it's okay to test the little maid later.

There was also a strand of hair frozen on the door frame, which could not have been terrifying at first glance, because horror did not have that long hair, and the proprietress had been coiling her hair, which should have been very long.

It is unlikely that this strand of hair was accidentally frozen on it, first, the weather is not cold enough that dry hair will freeze when it touches the door frame, unless the hair is damp. Second, there is a small patch of bloody skin at the top of the hair, which looks as if it was ripped off the scalp not long ago, and the blood is still bright red and frozen with the scalp hair.

Not far from the torn hair, there was a small patch of skin, more vivid than the scalp, and it could be guessed that the skin on the lips or tongue was also bloody, and it looked a little larger than the scalp.

The above three points are enough to make people think about it, but the proprietress and the chef are never nowhere to be seen. Yan Muheng also thought about knocking on other people's doors, but was resolutely stopped by Yun Yeyao. Although Yan Muheng and Xiao Mei couldn't figure out why Yun Yeyao didn't ask them to ask people in other restaurants, what was puzzling was that these two people who had never crossed paths with Yun Yeyao before actually chose to listen to Yun Yeyao's words and return to the villa together to make plans.

And the rest of the small warehouses, you don't need to enter the door, just lie on the window frame and look inside. Because most of the windows are open, and there are no anti-theft measures. It is simply impossible for a thief to come up in the mountains, especially in this weather.

Therefore, it can be said that the three people returned in vain, or it can be said that the three people found the clue, but they don't want to tell everyone for the time being.

Let's turn our attention back to the ruins, Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng were young people after all, and their feet were much faster than Liu Qiaopu and the housekeeper, and they didn't have long to walk before they saw the ruins standing in the ruins in the distance.

Yan Muheng stepped close to the edge of the fault in a few big steps, jumped to a low place first, and then stretched out his hand to answer Yun Yeyao, making his entire upper body jump down on his shoulder. Yun Yeyao was not restrained, but naturally accepted Yan Muheng's help.

Yun Yeyao itself has a little fear of heights, usually like on a tall building or by the river, it will not be obvious, but it is a little difficult to be on the edge of this straight and empty cliff. Yan Muheng's reaction made people feel as if he knew about it.

The ruins are in a relatively low terrain, and they are very close to the cliff, Yun Yeyao slowed down after walking into the ruins, and some did not dare to stride towards the cliff. Yan Muheng kept hugging his shoulders and moving forward like a guardian, and at the same time, he slowed down with Yun Yeyao.

The two of them quickly entered the study of the side house where Liu Qiaopu was squatting, and Yun Yeyao asked the old man: "Grandpa Liu, have you found anything?" ”

Liu Qiaopu glanced at the two people who were glued together, seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and said loudly to Yan Muheng: "Come here, you can see if you can lift the floor here!" ”

Yan Muheng had no choice but to let go of Yun Yeyao and walked to Liu Qiaopu and squatted down, he glanced at the floor pointed by Liu Qiaopu and said, "Grandpa Liu, I ......"

"Change your words, call me teacher, no one hears and calls grandpa, am I that old?! Xiaoyun, you too, just call me Uncle Liu in private. "When Liu Qiaopu was alone with Yun Yeyao and Yan Muheng, he talked and did things much more openly than in front of everyone. He insisted that Yan Muheng call him a teacher, maybe he hoped that the strong Yan Muheng would become a criminal policeman in the future, but how could it be so easy to be a criminal policeman!

"Uh...... Teacher, how can such a sturdy parquet floor be lifted? Yan Muheng said to Liu Qiaopu with a big drop of cold sweat on his head that he really couldn't stand the bad temper of this old gentleman who blew his beard and stared at his eyes at every turn. Luckily, he was still in control while he was in the villa.

Liu Qiaopu said: "I asked you to come here to confirm this matter, do you think the floor here looks like it was paved more than ten years ago and was burned by fire?" ”

"Impossible," Yan Muheng replied while tapping the floor with his hand, "This floor will not be paved for more than five years at most, I still say it is long, teacher, you see, there are basically no scratches on it, the surface is smooth after wiping off the dust, and the seams are also, the black dust is floating on it, and it will be gone with a finger, I guess it should be paved after the house was burned to ruins." ”

"You're not too stupid, Xiaoyun, you can talk about it too."

Liu Qiao Pu turned to Yun Yeyao behind him and said, at this moment, Yun Yeyao was already close to them, leaning down and observing the floor together. Yun Yeyao pondered for a moment and said, "First of all, if the house is rebuilt, it is impossible to give up just laying the floor. Secondly, why would anyone think of laying a new floor in this study after it burned down, and also sprinkling ruins on it as a cover? ”

"If you look at the ruins in the house, there are basically small pieces of bricks and tiles, except for the mattress and wooden cabinet by the window, there is not a single large fragment. Finally, the remnants of the bricks and tiles are also too evenly distributed, taking care of almost every inch of the floor. Comparing the exterior of the house, it can be seen that the ruins were definitely sprinkled after the floor was paved. ”

"That's right, I just noticed that something was wrong with the floor, so I asked the butler to call you, this practice is simply three hundred taels of silver here, obviously covering up the basement below the study. Moreover, the butler behaved strangely just now, he was in a hurry on the surface, but when I was picking up the rubble little by little to check it, he still refused to come and help. I think the butler must know something. ”

"Since they're going to cover up the basement in this way, it means that there must be some secret hidden in the basement here, and I'm not optimistic about it, what do you think?" After speaking, Liu Qiaopu stood up and looked at Yan Muheng and Yun Yeyao.

Yun Yeyao spoke: "It's only been half a day and a night since we arrived at the Treacherous House, but there have been two disappearances and a disappearance of the secret room in a row, and no matter who the person who disappeared into the secret room, what did he spill that blood for!" One thing is certain, the secret must be inside this home. Maybe one of us touches something unspeakable, or overhears something, that causes some people to hide the knowers one by one. ”

"However, I think there is a better chance that the missing people are alive, because there is no need for the person who is hiding them to kill, he just needs to wait for us to go down the mountain and then release the person who knows to go back to normal life. This is the first optimistic speculation. ”

"And what about the unoptimistic speculation?" Yan Muheng asked.

"The less optimistic speculation is to add the three men and women who almost died in the avalanche. Xiao Heng, tell me honestly, did you follow those three people up the mountain? Otherwise, how could you have appeared right behind us during the rescue and helped in time? ”

“…… Xiao Yao, you really dare to speak with a little intuition! Phew-well, I'll admit, I've been following those three people because ......" Yan Muheng's head gradually came together with the other two people, and the words behind him were also hidden between the close cheeks, and they couldn't be heard at all.

Outside the ruins that the three men could not see, a black shadow was leaning against the wall, listening intently to the movement inside, at this moment, his brows were furrowed, and he looked very troubled, because the voice inside was suddenly suppressed, making him realize that some danger was approaching, and after hesitating for a moment, the black shadow decisively gave up and continued to eavesdrop, but quietly left in the direction of the main house.
