Chapter 382 Reasoning: Night Twenty Before the Truth
On the third floor
Xie Yunmeng moved all the boxes near the entrance, and opened them one by one, all of them were heavy sandbags, which were stuffed very tightly.
"There's one more box that hasn't been opened, and the one sitting in horror." Yan Muheng reminded Mr. Criminal Police.
Xie Yunmeng ignored him, and walked to the bottom of the half-story stairs alone, what else did Yan Muheng want to say? was stopped by Yanagihashi.
"You'd better talk less nonsense, we can't waste time now!"
"Didn't you waste enough time? Grandpa Liu, don't you think it's a bit far-fetched to say such a thing until now? Moreover, I asked him to open the last box to add some possibilities of success. Yan Muheng unceremoniously looked back at the past, not afraid of the majesty of the old criminal policeman at all.
Yanagihashi glared at him fiercely, anger on his face, and Terror was still sitting on the largest box, not at all standing up. Yan Muheng stretched out his hand to pull her up, but was slapped off by the old criminal policeman again.
"Yan Muheng, we have our own measure in doing things, it's not your turn to give orders!"
The second warning still didn't work, Yan Muheng relied on Xie Yunmeng to be some distance away from them, Liu Qiaopu was old again, and wanted to forcibly pull the horror up, Yun Yeyao saw this and stopped between Liuqiao Pu and Yan Muheng, and said to him: "Yan Muheng, you don't have to get an inch!" We have to listen to Grandpa Liu and Xiaomeng all now, do you want everyone to die here? ”
"You're probably mistaken, aren't you? Xiao Yao, you should all listen to me now, so that you won't die here? Yan Muheng grabbed Yun Yeyao's uninjured hand, pulled him into his arms, and said loudly. He also said this to Xie Yunmeng downstairs.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Criminal Police's voice immediately came from his side: "Yan Muheng, we are indeed very grateful to you for pointing out the correct direction, but if you want to act here at will, we will not agree, after all, you haven't gotten rid of the suspicion of a murderer, haven't you?" ”
Before the words fell, Yan Muheng's hand holding Yun Yeyao was broken by a strong force, and Yan Muheng kept gasping in pain, in order not to break his wrist, he could only retreat back with his teeth cracked, and the horror had a playful expression, and even raised Erlang's legs.
"Xiao Yao, did he hurt you?" Xie Yunmeng ignored Yan Muheng and asked the person in his arms.
Yun Yeyao shook his head and asked, "Why did you come up so quickly?" ”
Immediately, several people's eyes turned to the bottom of the stairs, where the floor had been lifted, and several of the planks had been broken off, revealing a large hole. Xie Yunmeng pointed at Yan Muheng and said, "Didn't he ask me to come here to do this?" Rapid and violent demolition, which only I can do, is very old on the floor, with many cracks, and has not been repaired for many years, so it is easy to lift it up. ”
"Then you can push these sandbags down." Yun Yeyao said.
At this time, Yan Muheng on the side rubbed his hands and wrists and said, "Officer Xie, all the sandbags must be pressed down to be useful, without using the sandbags in the last box, you don't want to crush the wall underneath." ”
"How much weight is there?" Xie Yunmeng asked him.
"Uh...... I don't know, but it's nearly 200 pounds. Yan Muheng replied.
Xie Yunmeng smiled at him, leaned closer and said, "Wouldn't I just go and fill this gap?" ”
"You? You're really not afraid of falling down and dying?! ”
Yan Muheng's astonishment also appeared on Yun Yeyao's face, he took the first step to yell at Xie Yunmeng, and stopped his body at the staircase, ignoring the injured arm, and clinging to both sides of the door frame with both hands.
"Xiao Meng, you can't go down! If you fall downstairs with those sandbags, you won't die or get hurt, I'm not going to let you do that!" Everybody needs you! ”
"Fool, am I so bad? Remember the story you heard in a restaurant the day before? What the teacher said, I! Much more flexible than you think. ”
"Stupid, stupid!! I almost died that time, and the teacher said that you still have a scar on your back! ”
"Xiao Yao, let him go, this time we have to do it." Liu Qiaopu interjected.
Yun Yeyao felt incredible, didn't Liu Qiaopu feel sorry for his apprentice? He turned his head to look at the old detective, and his attention was distracted. Xie Yunmeng took advantage of this moment to pull Yun Yeyao away from the door and walked quickly downstairs by himself.
"Xiao Meng!!" Yun Yeyao wanted to catch up, but was tightly pulled by Liu Qiao Pu from behind.
I don't know where Mr. Actor got his strength? He violently broke free of Liu Qiaopu's hand, and Yan Muheng on the other side saw that it was not good, and wanted to close the door of the stairwell, but it was too late, Yun Yeyao ran downstairs with Xie Yunmeng......
Xie Yunmeng took Tang Meiya's ancestor and grandson to check the corpse in the basement, as for what method Liu Qiaopu used, so that the corpse would not decay to the point of changing its appearance, he would explain it later.
The old criminal police with most of the parties will not carry out operations for the time being, so let's let it go, and we will shift our attention to Yun Yeyao and Yan Muheng.
They didn't find the person following behind them, Yun Yeyao's attention was focused on the wall that was opened by Xie Yunmeng, dealing with Yan Muheng was one thing, and on the other hand, he also had to carefully inspect this place. Yan Muheng is not in danger at the moment, Yun Yeyao is very clear about this.
The bricks and cement in the walls are in a state of shattering, and no matter how strong Mr. Detective is, it is impossible to destroy them to this extent, indicating that everything in this wall has long been corroded to the point that it is impossible to look good. Does the murderer know about the walls? The answer is yes, the murderer must know, so he let go of the angry Xie Yunmeng to smash the wall.
The secret passage in the tower is only separated from the main staircase by a wall, and there are no rooms on either side of the corner of the wall on the left-hand side near the top of the blue tower, so this is the only place where the staircase can be seen directly when opened. There is only this place that can expose Xie Yunmeng to everyone faster. Judging from this point alone, the murderer's motive for framing the criminal police is very obvious.
But the key question is what exactly does the skeleton mean to the murderer? The problem starts with the wallpaper in the blue tower passage, the wall in the blue tower is actually the same as the outside, it doesn't look like there is much paint peeling, and the whole is very intact. So why cover all the walls that aren't damaged with wallpaper?
If someone wants to cover up the skeleton, then it is completely possible to customize the wallpaper of only that wall, as long as the edge of the wallpaper is carefully docked with the gap in the corner of the wall, it is generally unlikely to be noticed. But why did the killer seal all the walls in the secret passages of the Blue Tower with wallpaper? Not only is this a huge amount of work, but it's also easy to detect, isn't it?
Here, the only explanation that Yun Yeyao could think of was that there was more than one secret to hide on the walls of the Blue Tower's secret passage. Thinking of this, Yun Yeyao began to tear the warped wallpaper little by little, hoping to find unexpected clues.
Yan Muheng was quietly observing Yun Yeyao, and Mei Xiaoxiao behind him was also observing him. This person is showing more and more flaws now, and he is completely different from when he was down the mountain.
Mei Xiaoxiao glanced at her watch, it was already past lunch time, and the position they were in now was only a wall away from the two people in front of them, but Mei Xiaoxiao could ensure that Yan Muheng and Yun Yeyao would not find them. This is also due to the fact that the tower's corridors rotate upwards in a circle, separated by half an arc, and the walls can protect the tracker well.
Mei Xiaoxiao leaned against the wall, and she asked Shan Mingze behind her: "When you first met him, did you know that he was a member of the treacherous house?" ”
Shan Mingze's answer was very simple, he said: "I don't know, we are just ordinary friends." ”
"What if that person really wasn't killed by you? Why did you run away from the police and go up the mountain with Sissy. You know the police are suspicious of Sissy. Mei Xiaoxiao continued.
"I'm here to save Sissy, because I love her, but she's obsessed."
"Who is Sissy in love with?"
"That's what I want to figure out. And what exactly are we doing now? Do you want to follow these two people all the time? ”
Mei Xiaoxiao glanced back at Shan Mingze, did not answer the question he asked, but continued to ask: "Do you think it is possible that it is Xiao Heng?" ”
“…… You mean Yan Muheng! I think it's unlikely, doesn't Yan Muheng have a girlfriend in this family? ”
"But when I was outdoors just now, I saw that Cissy trusted him very much. Isn't it because the two of them met in advance at the bottom of the mountain? ”
"Impossible, maybe Xixi has always regarded him as Officer Xie, Officer Xie and Yan Muheng used the same disguise. Sissy, I understand, she is very simple, and if she believes that she can protect herself, she will give trust without scruples. ”
"It's not so much simple, you might as well be a little selfish, you really pay for her, and the result is not as good as a stranger." The small words pierced his heart, and Shan Mingze stopped talking.
The information revealed in their conversation made Wen Yuya feel stunned, especially the sentence 'is a member of the treacherous house', Wen Yuya couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that Yan Muheng is Yu Heng?" ”
The name Yu Heng appeared in front of everyone's eyes for the first time, Yan Muheng is indeed Xiao Heng, the son of the cook we talked about earlier, his identity is known to Xiao Xiao and Xie Yunmeng, the reason why they don't mention it is that they want to hide it from the people in the treacherous house, especially the kitchen lady's mother-in-law.
Mei Xiaoxiao didn't have time to answer Shan Mingze's question, she had been staring at Yun Yeyao's movements with all her attention, Yun Yeyao would tear those blue wallpapers in front of Yan Muheng, it was absolutely impossible to do this just because she suspected that there was something else hidden behind the wallpaper, he Xie Yunmeng often mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally, so Xiao Xiaoxiao knew him very well, gentle on the surface, but actually very shrewd in his heart.
The policewoman often thinks that if Yun Yeyao is a person who is cautious or has flaws, then it is an unlucky thing to be his friend or his enemy, but fortunately Yun Yeyao is not such a person. Xie Yunmeng said that Xiao Yao is a generous and kind person, and Xiao Xiao chooses to believe this.
But at this moment, in the face of Yan Muheng, a person who can't be qualified as good or bad, Xiao Yao is probably calculating, right?! Thinking about it, his footsteps slowly retreated, and he was still pulling the corner of Shan Mingze's clothes in his hand, pulling him back with him.
Mei Xiaoxiao didn't answer Shan Mingze's question directly just now, which already made him very confused, but now that he was pulled by the policewoman, Shan Mingze's eyes turned around and became even more suspicious. However, Shan Mingze is not unable to understand such an attitude, the criminal police asked him to participate in the operation, it is likely that he had to do it as a last resort, and it is reasonable to have reservations about himself.
So he didn't make any rebuttals, but obediently followed Mei Xiaoxiao and stepped back, but Wen Yuya was not calm, she whispered to the policewoman: "Xiaoxiao, are we leaving?" ”
"Aunt Wen, he's here."
"Who's coming?" Wen Yuya is still the second monk and is confused.
Mei Xiaoxiao replied simply: "Xiao Heng! ”
"Could it be...... Xiao Heng found us? ”
"I don't know." Mei Xiaoxiao replied as she retreated, and the expression on her face became more and more serious.
Her appearance made Wen Yuya nervous too, and asked, "Is the murderer pretending to be Xiao Heng!" He still has a scar on his face, doesn't he? ”
Mei Xiaoxiao still shook her head, Wen Yuya didn't understand what she meant at all, so she wanted to poke her head out again to look, but was pulled by the policewoman suddenly, and she staggered back a few steps, and her eyes instantly became frightened!
Unconsciously, Wen Yuya herself didn't notice that her emotions were gradually changing, just like she had changed from fear to calm, and now, calmness was replaced by horror little by little.
Not only the eyes, but even the brain began to twitch. Wen Yuya covered her temples with her hands, her face pale, as if everything in the big bell had turned into a blood mist, slowly seeping into her skin and nerves from every corner of the void.
"You didn't give Miss a good morning kiss when you left the brown tower, didn't you play husband and wife at the time? Why are there no good morning kisses? It's not embarrassing to be in front of everyone, right? Yaya asked in one breath, waiting for Xie Yunmeng's answer with a pair of expectant eyes, while Tang Meiya on the side could only hold her forehead and sigh, complaining that her granddaughter was too outspoken.
Xie Yunmeng replied: "But we are not husband and wife!" And it never occurred to me to have any good morning kisses. ”
Yaya was obviously dissatisfied with Xie Yunmeng's answer, she pouted and said, "Miss Xiao is your girlfriend, you live in her room, and you are still stingy with a good morning kiss?" But I think maybe you're not stingy, but you don't love Miss Xiao. ”
Yaya's words hit the nail on the head, and Xie Yunmeng instantly didn't know how to answer. He has never been a man of twisting and pinching, and he can say whatever he wants. But now, he felt like an empty box in his heart, and he didn't have the words to answer.
Yaya continued, "If you don't answer, you're acquiescing! That's why I said that you don't see infatuation in your eyes, only respect. ”
“…… So who do you think I like? Xie Yunmeng replied mechanically, he didn't know why he asked like that?
"Of course you like Little Miss." The little girl's answer made Xie Yunmeng cry and laugh for a moment, didn't she contradict herself? So Xie Yunmeng was ready to end this irrelevant topic.
Unexpectedly, Yaya immediately said: "I like it, but it's not love!" You only like it, I feel like the river behind my grandmother's house, there are never any waves. I can also give an example, when Miss Xiao disappeared, Brother Xiaomeng, you were really anxious, but you can still think calmly and analyze and judge. But when Mr. Yun is attacked by the murderer, you become so scary! It's like eating people. I was scared to death when I saw the look in your eyes. ”
"Look at it, even a good friend like Mr. Yun can make you lose your mind, but the little lady who wants to live with you for the rest of his life is not as good as him, Brother Xiaomeng really doesn't love the little lady at all, only likes it!" After Yaya summed up, she still looked like I was the most correct, and Tang Meiya almost wanted to talk to her again.
'It turns out that I ......' Yaya's questioning made Xie Yunmeng feel something, and a vague truth began to settle into his heart, making Xie Yunmeng have to think, but he still didn't want to admit his heart: 'Yaya is just joking. ’
Yun Yeyao and Yan Muheng are still at the top of the secret passage of the blue tower, the tower is very high, as long as they don't shout, the people above won't notice. After entering the room, sure enough, Wen Yuya was inside, and at this moment she was exactly the same as when she was crazy before, frightened, flustered, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
I don't understand why this is happening all of a sudden. She walked quickly to Wen Yuya, squatted down and hugged her and asked, "Aunt Wen, what's wrong with you?" ”
"In the big bell! Terrible corpse parts...... Someone threw a piece of corpse into it...... It's in the big clock!! Wen Yuya's words were intermittent, as if in an instant, she had returned to the time when she had just been rescued from the bell yesterday afternoon.
For her abnormal reaction, Mei Xiaoxiao finally sensed that something was wrong, and she asked, "Aunt Wen, do you remember what we just said to Mr. Yun?" It's in this room. ”
"......" Wen Yuya buried her face between her knees and shook her head.
Mei Xiaoxiao continued to ask, "What did you do with Mr. Shan just now?" ”
"I ...... I don't know! This time there was an answer, but obviously Wen Yuya couldn't remember the things just now, which reminded Mei Xiaoxiao of the word 'blood' that Liu Qiaopu said again, the policewoman is not stupid, not everything needs to be said clearly to understand, and now she finally begins to realize what bloodline means......
——
"Maybe there are no outsiders in this family, but they are using the name of foreign children to cover up some secrets, and these secrets are likely related to the mystery of Anze's dreams, that is, the person who inherited his bloodline."
At the top of the blue tower, Yun Yeyao said to Yan Muheng, of course he couldn't have imagined that the policewoman at the bottom of the corridor at the moment was coming up with ideas similar to these words.
The reason why Yun Yeyao said this was because Yan Muheng opened a door, and this door had been locked before.
But why can opening the door allow Yun Yeyao to honestly reveal his reasoning? Because behind the door, there was not a room, but a row of hidden bookshelves, and at the bottom of the spine of each book on the shelf, Anze's name was written impressively.
A bookcase as big as a door, with a very ordinary style, and the front is just like the bookcases we often see in libraries, just much smaller.
There weren't a few books on it, most of the places were empty, Yun Yeyao didn't pay attention to those empty grids, he just kept flipping through the books. In the book, Anze tells all his real feelings about dreams in detail. made Yun Yeyao feel that he had been worried about it all his life, so much so that he trapped his daughter in a dream.
Mr. Actor looked at the words in front of him, but the contents of the mutilated diary found by Xie Yunmeng appeared in the gray brain cells. If the diary and the book were written by Yasuzawa himself, then the amount of information that can be obtained from them is not a little.
While being silent and contrasting, Yun Yeyao did not ignore Yan Muheng on the side, why did he suddenly think of the hidden bookcase? Is he Yu Heng, the son of the cook, or someone who has a relationship with An Ze? Maybe it's both, because before An Ze died, the cook was not very old, and she had lived in a treacherous house all her life, without a husband, but she had a son, which made people have to be suspicious.
The cook's question can be understood later, at this moment, Yun Yeyao clearly felt that Yan Muheng's mood was not very stable, and this instability could cause Yan Muheng's thinking and behavior to change anytime and anywhere, Yun Yeyao had already learned and tried it, so he had to be vigilant at all times.
At this moment, putting aside his behavior, Yan Muheng's state of mind is indeed changing uncontrollably, he stays in the position of the intersection of dreams and reality, and even the familiar gaze revealed in his eyes has also affected another person who has a deep relationship with him, this person is Wen Yuya, who is trembling in Xiaoxiao's arms. The resonance between them caused both parties to fall into a state of inextrication.
The air in the blue tower seemed to condense, and Yan Muheng seemed to disappear out of thin air, silently. Yun Yeyao couldn't hear a sound in his ears, he narrowed his eyes, hiding the uneasiness that gradually surged up in his heart, trying to immerse himself in thinking, ignoring the oppression brought by Yan Muheng.
The weather was unusually cold, and I was supposed to go to work, but the classes were occupied by other teachers, so I didn't go anywhere. Sitting alone in front of the window, waiting for her daughter to return home, she received a call from her homeroom teacher, and her homework in the third grade of primary school was still a little difficult for her daughter. ’
This diary was written on December 1, 1989, and the most important point it reveals is the age of Anze's daughter, who was a third-grade student at the time, almost just turned nine years old, and if you count the year of early study, whether she has reached the age of nine is still a question, so it is estimated that Anze's daughter should be under 30 years old by now, which is extremely inconsistent with the current mistress of the treacherous house.
If the contents of the diary are true, the age alone can prove that the resentful little girl back then is definitely not the same person as the hostess they heard about now. In this way, the hypothesis is widespread. We can talk about the three simplest points, first, after Anze's death, someone in the treacherous house imprisoned his daughter because he coveted his property, or the real wealth brought by the dream, and lived in the treacherous house himself as an impostor.
