Chapter 406 Reasoning: Night Before the Truth Forty-Four
After arriving at the mountain, Xixi woke up and kept avoiding him, Shan Mingze could even feel that Xixi was really avoiding him as a murderer, what was going on?
In fact, Sissy's avoidance and fear may be the mysterious man she saw when she woke up in the brown tower, this mysterious man, Sissy thought he was less, indicating that he must have borrowed the identity of the cook's son in this treacherous house, and being able to borrow the identity of less than means that this person must have more or less known about the treacherous house.
We can also get a glimpse of it from the conversation between Xixi and the mysterious man at that time, what he said at the time was to pull the suspicion of the homicide under the mountain desperately to Shan Mingze, and also asked Xixi to stabilize Shan Mingze, so that he could catch more Shan Mingze's handles.
Why does this man want to deal with Shan Mingze, one of them is, of course, that he wants both beauty and money. So what about the second? He can't be so simple, in the treacherous house, where the criminal police are there, he is willing to take the risk to deal with Shan Mingze, so this man calculates Shan Mingze, maybe he has a crime that has to be covered up, or he already knows the real purpose of the criminal police going up the mountain to investigate.
Anyway? At this moment, Shan Mingze was thinking about how to make Xixi tell the truth to herself, at least to herself, how much did she know about the reason behind the criminal police going up the mountain?
The murder that occurred at the foot of the mountain, what I said before was just some skin, there must be deeper clues hidden in the middle, and there must be something related to the child trafficking organization, otherwise, the criminal police would not disguise themselves and hide their identities to go up the mountain. They will not take the parties to the case to the mountains.
Now it seems that Qiao Keli and the real Yan Muheng must both be involved in the case under the mountain, because they are both people who have been helping the criminal police from the beginning, that is, the people who participated in Xie Yunmeng and Mei Xiaoxiao's actions to conceal their identities, and Yan Muheng is even ready to exchange identities with Xie Yunmeng at any time to ensure the smooth operation of his actions.
Of course, this kind of thing is based on the fact that Mr. Criminal Police does not know that Yan Muheng has a second personality, if from the beginning, Mr. Criminal Police knew that Yan Muheng had a hidden dark side, he would definitely not let Yan Muheng exchange identities with himself and protect the little girl outside the court.
However, it turned out that before the three bloody fogs occurred, Yan Muheng had always been very normal, and he tried his best to protect Xixi.
After talking about Shan Mingze and Yan Muheng, let's talk about the Xixi nanny who died tragically.
Finally wrapped Xixi tightly, the proprietress could finally lie down and take a breath, because she bent over and bent her back, she felt a sharp pain in the wound on her chest, covering the wound site with one hand, the proprietress said to Shan Mingze: "Just now we and Officer Xie also found a corpse outside the restaurant, which has been dead for several days, do you know about it?" ”
“…… Not at all! What did Officer Xie say? Shan Mingze asked while paying attention to the reaction of the person in his arms. Because he had already seen the bloody and horrific death scene, no matter where he found the body now, he would not be too shocked.
"Officer Xie said that the body should have died before you went up the mountain, and it is possible that one of the guests in the treacherous house was replaced in the first place." The grocery store owner replied in place of his wife.
"Officer Xie meant that there was a person in the treacherous house who used a fake identity, and he thought that person was probably the murderer, right?" Shan Mingze asked rhetorically.
"We can't be sure about this, but I think listening to Officer Xie's tone, he should think so." The boss replied.
Shan Mingze lowered his head, he looked at Xixi's face and thought, Xie Yunmeng was able to say his thoughts to the couple in front of him without reservation, which proved that he had absolute trust in this couple. Why? Could it be that the grocery store owner and his wife had known the police officers before? Or rather, they are also related to certain things.
Until now, the real names of the grocery store owner and his wife, not only Xie Yunmeng and Yan Muheng have not mentioned it, but even they themselves have kept their mouths shut, and they don't know what their surnames are. Shan Mingze wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, he dispelled this idea again.
Instead of asking questions, it is better to wait for them to say it themselves. When the truth of the case is revealed, everyone's identities will be revealed, which Shan Mingze is convinced of, even if it is a witness to be protected by the police, after catching the murderer and determining his safety, it will not be a big deal to say his true identity.
If you are yelling and trying to figure everything out now, it will arouse the suspicion of the criminal police. Shan Mingze knows that if Xixi can't change his words, you can't get rid of the suspicion of murder on his body. He has been pondering, how much trust does the criminal police have in him?
On the top of the thin layer of ice, you can see two black shadows like footprints, moving towards the house little by little, the top of the black shadows is empty, not to mention people, not even feet, they seem to be a terrifying trick conjured up by a magician, and it seems to be a ghost with the magic of death, approaching the three people talking upstairs step by step, but the people upstairs are unaware.
As Shan Mingze thought, at this moment, all the people in the room are within the monitoring range of the criminal police, and there is no time to act at all, so what is going on with this 'ghost'? Could it really be that Xie Yunmeng buried it in the snow, and that corpse was transformed?!
Step by step, the footprints of the 'ghost' walked towards the place where the three people were upstairs, and under the tinkling light of the living room, something seemed to be shining in the void, it was a brooch, exactly the same as the Nami brooch that Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng saw at the door of the warehouse behind the restaurant.
The brooch's light fluctuated slightly in the void, and the light reflected off the ground, forming several small dots, which had been in front of the black footprints, keeping a certain distance from them.
In fact, there is evidence left by the murderer in the restaurant kitchen, and although this evidence cannot directly identify who the murderer is, it can be of great help to the police to find the right clues.
Until now, no one has noticed, not even the actors and the criminal police. This is all thanks to the thick dirt in the kitchen, and it is this dirt that makes the evidence traces that should be obvious seem to disappear, hiding in the blind spot of sight.
Mr. Actor's neglect is because he is not experienced enough. And Mr. Detective, because of the corpse, he has no time to think of other things. All this provides convenience for the owner of the footprints at this moment.
The traces in the kitchen can also be said to be left by the 'ghost', but when he left these traces, he did not expect that he would become evidence of the murderer in the future. There was also the skin and black hair on the door frame of the food warehouse, all of which were accidentally left behind by the 'ghost', including the identical brooch.
These things, the 'ghosts' don't understand why Eternal wants to dispose of them for themselves? What purpose is it exactly?
One thing is certain, though, that Eternal has a crush on the 'ghost' and even puts the 'ghost' under his protection. Of course, what Eternal wants to protect is not the true personality of the 'ghost', but the identity he presents to everyone.
As soon as the proprietress said this, Shan Mingze immediately jumped up, he couldn't believe his ears, he did have a skin-to-skin relationship with Xixi, but that was more than a month ago, and in the time after that, what Xixi and her new boyfriend did, he couldn't know at all. Now at this life-and-death juncture, if Cissy is really pregnant, how can her body stand it?!
"Auntie, you can't be mistaken! Impossible, how could Sissy ......!! ”
"Mr. Shan, don't get excited, now, you two do what I say, husband, you wrap up in a down jacket and go outside the door first, avoid it! Also, go to the kitchen and fetch as much water as you can, don't ...... Alas! I'm stupid! The faucets must be frozen, husband, first take all the bottled water in the house to the door of the house for backup, and then go to the warehouse, take as much mineral water as you can, remember to go out to set a few more clothes, pay attention to safety! ”
"Okay, I'll go right away." The boss nodded, quickly stood up, grabbed the clothes on the chair and walked out.
After he left, the proprietress immediately said to Shan Mingze: "It's about the life and death of the little girl, don't worry about it, help me go to the bag and take out all the clean towels and cloths immediately." ”
"Auntie, you, did you say that if Xixi is really pregnant, is it possible to have a miscarriage?"
"If she has a child in her belly who is less than a month old, how can she withstand such a toss back and forth, if my expectations are good, the child will not be able to keep it, we can only find a way to keep the adult, you don't have other ideas, just concentrate on helping me!"
"But...... But ......" Shan Mingze hurriedly turned out all the things in the big bag and small bag, and wanted to ask a question, but he didn't know what to say, he was really panicked, and he stammered for a long time without telling the reason.
"Shut up! You men are like this, you only think about yourself, do you know how difficult it is for women to have children?!! I was the same back then, half of my foot was in the coffin board, but the old immortal still cared if the child was a man or a woman!! I said, can you cool off at a time like this! Yes!! ”
"Yes, yes, Auntie, don't be angry, I'll come right away!" Shan Mingze can't care about losing face, the proprietress is right, now Xixi's life is the most important, and everything else can only stand aside.
As soon as the vitality returned, it brought new dangers, and it was still unknown whether Cissy knew that she had a child. Now, when the grocery store proprietress and Shan Mingze untied the warm pants on Xixi's lower body, the proprietress immediately confirmed her guess.
Let's take a look at how upstairs will develop:
Yan Muheng asked, "The problem of time has been revealed since we entered the treacherous house. There are no clocks in the treacherous house except for the big clock, Sister Wang, your family's statement is that the hostess hates clocks extremely much and doesn't want to hear any related sounds, now I ask again, are you sure that's the case? ”
"No," the mother-in-law replied, "Before Anze's daughter was locked up here, there were clocks in the house, but then they were all thrown away by Anze, and he said that Anze hated clocks very much, and saw that time would make her mentally worse, so she threw away all the clocks." I think it's actually Anze himself who hates clocks. ”
"What about Sister Wang? Do you know anything about this? Yan Muheng turned to Sister Wang and asked.
Sister Wang shook her head and said, "All I know is what Mr. Housekeeper told me, he just said that you can't bring clocks into the house, and nothing else has been said." ”
"Well, the next question is for the others, what do you think about it? In the last room on the third floor, Xiao Yao and I saw the table clock described in the diary, which was no longer gone, but it didn't seem to be scrapped. ”
"What do you want to say about clocks? Or is it about Manman or the hostess? Lian Fan asked rhetorically, his position was now diagonally opposite Vinmanman, and his face could be seen under the cloak.
Without waiting for Yan Muheng to answer, Lu Haoyu said directly: "In terms of time, I agree with my mother-in-law's opinion, it's not that An Ze's daughter hates clocks, but An Ze himself, I think An Ze can build a house in this kind of place, which in itself shows that he is already a madman." It's always unreasonable for a madman to do things, so I can't guess why. Speaking of Manman, she quarreled with her mother-in-law as soon as she came, and her strange behavior was not explained at all, and I think she was deliberately avoiding it. ”
"Wen Manman, I don't accept rebuttals, so you'd better shut up and listen to me." Lu Haoyu said to Wen Manman, who wanted to have a seizure, and saw that Wen Manman had to close his mouth before continuing: "Since Manman deliberately avoided it, then I will talk about it for her." The dancers are very soft, and if the hole in the stairwell could be widened, Wen Manman might be able to get into it. ”
Yan Muheng said: "But, Mr. Lu, don't forget, before Man Man looked inside the wall hole, Mr. Qin pulled the edge of the wall hole with his hand, at that time his whole body was hanging on the side of the wall, and the wall hole did not have any signs that could be opened again, if the mechanism inside could carry the weight of an adult man, then how could Man Man easily pull it apart?" ”
Anyway, no matter what, the policewoman has her own considerations, and the people downstairs will not question her arrangement, after all, those thorns are all around Liu Qiao Pu and Yun Yeyao.
After Terror and Chokley left, Mei Xiaoxiao continued: "The diary writer said that he could often get some toys and money, as well as delicious things, I think the hostess who was imprisoned on the third floor at the time should not have been able to get these things, especially money, Anze imprisoned his daughter, it is impossible to give her money. ”
Tang Meiya said: "I don't think it's necessarily, haven't the people in this family been unable to find out where the money earned by Anze is hidden?" We have also seen the first floor of the main house and the inside of the tower, and there is no place to hide the money at all, maybe Anze hid the money on the third floor? Anyway, it was impossible for his daughter to come down and take the money out of the house, or tell anyone else. ”
"No, Yaya, he still has a place to hide money." Yu Cha wiped his mouth and said.
"Where?"
"Behind the offering table where I was imprisoned! Where it is hidden, no one will find it, and there is camouflage outside. Doesn't Anze often go to worship his ancestors? It's easy to put money in a box or bag and hide it behind it! ”
"But, how do you know that this is the place where Anze sacrifices his ancestors?" Mei Xiaoxiao asked with some confusion.
"Half of it is speculation, and the other half is someone I seem to have heard about it just now, and I don't remember who it was." Yu Cha replied.
"Yes, you've been locked up in the rocky cavern for so long, it's possible to hear a lot of conversations, maybe the murderer, and you remember, who else went to the rocky cave before we appeared?"
"This, you made me think about it all at once, and I can't think of it, I can only provide some vague impressions." Yu Cha seemed a little embarrassed, he had always been groggy when he was imprisoned, and he was old, so he didn't pay attention to too many things.
Yan Muheng continued to ask: "In addition to the time problem, have you noticed that the diary mentions that there are maids and housekeepers on the third floor to deliver food, and in addition to the mother-in-law in the treacherous house at that time, there was also an external maid, that is, Ms. Wen Yuya. So who is the maid who went upstairs to deliver food in the diary? ”
"I don't know what's there, but when I'm in the study, I always feel like there's footsteps inside. Come to think of it, it should be the maid and the little worker dating. Maybe the population in the basement is somewhere else, anyway in the study, I never knew how to get into the basement.
"What happened a year or two ago, now that I think about it, it feels like centuries later, and I didn't feel happy then, but now I feel like I'm in heaven. There has been no news from my father for a long time, Mr. Housekeeper no longer comes up to the third floor, only books and notebooks are left with me, and everything else has been secretly moved, who moved it? I had absolutely no idea. “
"Why ......"
"Why are you letting us listen to these diaries, and what do you want to know?" Qin Sen suddenly stood up and shouted, "What is the purpose of us going up to the third floor? Looking for a hostess? Looking for clues? Grandpa Liu, can you give a clear answer, what do you want to do, go downstairs directly when you are done, as for the clues and diaries, can't you criminal police directly talk to the parties alone? If we don't have anything to do with it, I don't understand what the truth is! ”
Because it was too sudden, Yun Yeyao was taken aback by him, and instantly looked at Qin Sen with stunned eyes.
After Qin Sen finished yelling, he realized that he had lost his temper, and he wanted to sit down with a heavy heart, but was stopped by Liu Qiaopu: "Qin Sen, most of you are related to the homicide, and we can't make an accurate conclusion now." If you have anything to say, you can say it to the officer, but I hope you should say less about this waste of time and think more about what happened in the past! ”
Liu Qiaopu's words were very harsh, and they meant something, and he didn't know if Qin Sen understood it, anyway, his face was red and white for a while, and he was extremely embarrassed. His palms clenched, and the blood stains on the stairwell should not have been wiped clean.
Xiao An had been asleep for a long time, and the young maid glanced at the clock in the corner of the room, which showed that at 10:50 p.m., she left Xiao An lightly, and as she walked, she stroked her little belly, where the little life had always been restless, and just like Xiao An, the maid had to comfort them as much as possible.
The maid believes that the little life in the belly that has not yet taken shape is also a girl. On this mountain, it may be better to have a daughter than a boy, and the male tourists who go up the mountain, the younger of them, may leave with the girl of their choice. In that case, you don't have to spend any effort to go to the city to find a way out.
'I have to leave as soon as possible, I can't stay here anymore, I have to leave!' In her panic, the only way out the maid could think of was to flee, and she was too flustered to look closely at the man's appearance. There was not a trace of blood on the man's body, and the eyelashes on his white pupils were trembling slightly from the force of expansion.
The young maid slowly moved to the wall, and leaning against it, she walked around her body on the ground to the edge of the large bed, where there was a small open gap in the wall, located high above the maid's head.
This small gap can be widened from the inside of the room, but a piece of furniture must be removed and the mechanism must be pressed down with force. Her hands clung to the edge of the heavy furniture and pulled outward, and the maid felt her hands tingle and her stomach ached. But she didn't care so much now, and if someone saw the situation in the room, she couldn't tell even if she had a hundred mouths.
But the more panicked she became, the worse things became, and the foot of the furniture seemed to be stuck in something, and if she pulled it away a little, she could no longer move, no matter how hard the maid tried. She tried to force her way between the furniture and the wall and press the handle.
Far from being successful, the pain in her abdomen intensified because of the squeezing, and the maid couldn't bear it, so she could only crouch on the edge of the wall and press her abdomen with both hands, hoping that the pain would be relieved and she could move again.
Anxiety, uneasiness, and fear invaded the maid's heart at this moment, and she felt that she could no longer survive this time, and everything she had done in the past, including the faces of her two daughters and their father, was presented in front of the maid's eyes in turn.
Trying to encourage herself, the maid wants to regain her confidence, she still has a lot of things to do, how can she let herself fall here?!
"Sister, what did you do?" There was a small voice behind her, it was Annsy calling out to her.
The maid turned back and saw the girl's face emaciated by depression, and she stood at the door of the room, motionless looking at the man and maid on the ground.
"You go back and go to sleep, it has nothing to do with you!" The maid thought of Anne crawling over, she had no strength to stand up, but his heart was still concerned about Anne, and he tried desperately to get the little girl to take the initiative to go back to the room where she had just slept, and go back to sleep as if nothing had happened.
"Teacher, you go a little further to the side, and be careful that my elbow hits you." Yan Muheng said, squatting beside Liu Qiaopu, holding the victim's wrist with one hand, and waiting for Liu Qiaopu to adjust to a suitable position, he began to exert his strength.
When a person subconsciously concentrates the strength of his whole body to a point because of a crisis, no matter how weak he usually is, this moment will burst out with unimaginable power from others. As soon as Yan Muheng got started, he felt the power of resistance coming from his hand. He froze and turned to Yanagihashi, "I might break his joints, because this guy doesn't realize what he's doing, and if he doesn't do it, he might put his fist directly into his stomach." ”
"I can't take care of it so much now, his life matters, and I'll talk about the rest later, you just let it go."
Hearing the old man's answer, Yan Muheng grabbed the wrist of the person on the ground with one hand, put his forearm with the other hand, snorted softly, and exerted force with both hands at the same time, only to hear a piercing 'click' sound from the man's joints, and the whole hand was raised up little by little in the direction of Yan Muheng's force.
However, the lifting is limited to the lower arm, and the rest of the body is still tense due to extreme nervous tension.
In the process of moving, Yan Muheng shouted to several little girls: "All the girls turn around, don't look at the next scene, do you hear it, hurry up!" ”
In fact, there was no need for him to tell them, Wen Manman, Tao Muqing and Xia Tomato had already closed their eyes in fright, they all heard the conversation between the old man and Yan Muheng, and they didn't dare to look at the scene at all. The rest of the men, including Yun Yeyao, stared at Yan Muheng's hand, their attention was terrifying.
At this time, a minute seemed like an hour as long as usual, and everyone waited for the terrible cracking sound to reach their ears, and their hearts seemed to stop beating, as if they were waiting for a command, and then they moved violently.
But there was no imaginary breaking sound like shaking the mountain, the joints of the people on the ground only made a slight sound, and then Yan Muheng successfully pulled the man's hand out of his mouth, it turned out that Yan Muheng did not break the joint, but unloaded the man's joint, so that he could be hurt to the greatest extent.
Yan Muheng said to Liu Qiaopu like that, but the two of them were preparing for the worst. Yan Muheng didn't know if he would miss under the effect of resistance, so he greeted him in advance to save everyone from panicking even more.
"Yan Muheng! Calm down, you're not sure what ...... yet."
"Teacher, don't say it, now, please let me take control of the situation!"
"You...... Don't forget your duties! Liu Qiao Pu had no choice but to remind him, and when he saw Yan Muheng nodding, he closed his mouth, if Yan Muheng didn't do anything out of line, Liu Qiao Pu wouldn't stop it, because he was also extremely angry at the murderer's actions. If Yan Muheng wanted to hurt the people present, then Liu Qiaopu would definitely do his best to stop it, he didn't want Yan Muheng to destroy himself out of anger.
"Who is it? I'll just warn you once, it's better to admit it myself, if I find out, I won't be responsible for the consequences! Yan Muheng gritted his teeth and said, the cruel and calm consciousness of the other half hidden in the dark forest seemed to have invaded his mind again, making him a 'demon'.
In the face of the fierce and vicious man, all the people were silent, and after a long time, when Yan Muheng was about to explode, a woman's voice finally came from the side, and the words she answered were not explanations, nor exonerated themselves, but questions!
"Why do you think there are murderers among us? Also, don't think we don't know who you are! From Grandpa Liu and Xiao Yao's attitude towards you, I know that you are not Yan Muheng, you are Officer Xie, right, Yan Muheng has already exchanged identities with you, and when you go downstairs, you use Yan Muheng's identity to blend in with us, but you don't act well, and deliberately expose your flaws for us to see through. ”
"Maybe Xiao Yao's poisoning is fake, and the same is on the ground, who can guarantee that after we leave later, he won't get up from the ground by himself, are you trying to scare us? Let's know everything, right? In the end, your purpose is not to go upstairs in search of a hostess at all? Or analyze the clues from those diaries, you just want to lock us suspects in this confined space on the third floor, separated from everyone else. ”
"Because you arbitrarily think that the murderer must be among us, right? Under extraordinary circumstances, it is understandable that the criminal police use extraordinary means. And we can only be at the mercy of you and tell the truth under your threats, Officer Xie, you don't want to act anymore, is the person in your arms really injured? The scar on that arm can't be disguised by you with the flesh of the dead, just like the scar on your face! ”
His words are equivalent to confirming the terrifying speculation just now, but how did the plan of the actor and the criminal police be implemented? From the second floor to the third floor, and now, how many secret operations have they done? Immediately, all this will be known to everyone according to Xie Yunmeng's narration. At the same time, the people downstairs did not know what was happening upstairs, and were still reading the records in the black notebook.
The real Yan Muheng is indeed on the first floor at the moment, he is the man who reads the diary with gauze wrapped in his hand, the disguise on his face has been completely removed, and the true face revealed is quite beautiful, and his facial features are actually somewhat similar to Yaya, but no one downstairs pays attention to this except for Xiaoxiao. Even Tang Meiya didn't notice it, because she had been paying attention to Xiao Xiao's frostbitten feet and Yu Cha's physical condition.
Yaya looked at Yan Muheng intently and listened to him continue reading. However, at this time, Yan Muheng stopped talking, he looked up at the ceiling, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly said: "The feeling of the past has come again, is there really nothing happening upstairs?" ”
He seemed to be asking himself and as if he was asking Xiaoxiao, and Xiaoxiao asked strangely, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"I feel very distressed, just like when Xiao Heng had an accident."
"Who is Xiao Heng?" Mei Xiaoxiao asked, she saw the hollow eyes in Yan Muheng's pupils, withdrew her feet from Tang Meiya's ancestral arms, and her hands also took a defensive posture.
Yan Muheng remained motionless and said, "Xiao Heng is Eternal, and it is also my eternal heart......
"Is there anything in the diary that makes you feel in danger?" Mei Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand and passed the fingers of Yan Muheng's hanging right hand into the black diary, and turned to the page he had just read, but he didn't see any unusual words.
When the policewoman raised her head again and looked at Yan Muheng in surprise, she saw Yan Muheng's gaze towards her, and Yan Muheng asked, "Who do you think I am now?" ”
"It's you, who loves Xiao Heng, right?" Mei Xiaoxiao replied immediately.
"Yes, for more than ten years, my feelings have never stopped. Listen to me, I don't know who wrote the diary, I don't know what happened before the fire, I have lived in the treacherous house until now, and I have only seen Horror, Mr. Butler, Mr. Cook, Sister Wang, Lady Cook, and of course Ms. Wen. ”
"You can't? The injury on your face is already serious, and you will make the teacher even more worried if you go up. Mei Xiaoxiao immediately vetoed it, she didn't want to see Liu Hang take risks again.
Things have developed to this point, and the true identity of the injured Shan Mingze has also been revealed, he is because of his grandfather's praise, Liu Hang, who has all his courage and courage points opened, the timid and cowardly man at the beginning, and now finally embodies a little bit of the bravery and decisiveness inherited from Liu Qiaopu.
"I think it's better to wait, there is finally no danger above, don't worry too much, Grandpa Liu knows in his heart, and now he is asking about the horror, it's not the right time to go up." Just when they were at a stalemate, a man's voice suddenly came from next door, Mei Xiaoxiao heard that it was Qiao Keli, he seemed to be very tired, Mei Xiaoxiao, Yan Muheng and Liu Hang hurriedly ran into the restaurant to check.
Sure enough, Qiao Keli hung on the wall with great difficulty, and Yan Muheng hurriedly went over to support him, so that he could fall to the ground smoothly. Mei Xiaoxiao asked, "How's it going?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay, everything is fine, there is Mr. Criminal Police, it will be fine?" Qiao Keli snorted and walked past Yan Muheng.
Yan Muheng asked, "Is this really the case?" You're not lying? ”
"How can it be a lie? Won't they all know when they come down? What is the purpose of going up to the third floor? I think you are the only one who knows best, apart from us. Qiao Keli replied unceremoniously, Yan Muheng didn't know how to refute it all of a sudden, so he closed his mouth, but the worry in his heart still didn't dissipate.
When Qiao Keli walked to the door of the entertainment room and formed a blind spot with Yan Muheng standing, Mei Xiaoxiao quickly approached him and asked, "What you said is the truth?" ”
"Grandpa Liu asked us to stop the people downstairs, especially that guy, the upstairs is not very good, Mr. Yun was poisoned, Officer Xie was already on the verge of going berserk, and another one died, although the horror was found, but the situation was really bad, these must not let the people downstairs know. And ......"
"And what? Say it quickly! ”
"Moreover, it is possible that the murderer is among those people upstairs, Grandpa Liu and Officer Xie don't know when the murderer did it, maybe he will strike again!"
"What's wrong with Xiao Meng? Isn't it just to let him go up to protect the teacher and everyone? How does he do things? She almost screamed, but she controlled her emotions and covered her mouth with her hands, suppressing her voice to the extent that only Jokley could hear.
And in reality, Shan Mingze's soul was tightly pinched in the palm of his hand by the devil, he was like a volcano about to erupt, and his hot tears were like shocking blood on the bed, as if to burn his eyes and soul, Shan Mingze couldn't stand it anymore, he rushed out of the door like crazy, but was hugged by the grocery store owner, and the two of them rolled down the stairs together in a scuffle.
The grocery store owner wanted to hold down Shan Mingze's hands, but after all, he was old, and after several attempts, Shan Mingze broke free, and he was punched several times in the face.
"Shan Mingze, let me tell you, calm down! Xixi is already like this, it's not the fault of the criminal police, it's our failure to take good care of Xixi, if there is a fire, it will be sent at us, and after the delivery, I will stay here obediently, don't sabotage the investigation work of the criminal police! ”
"Get out of the way, I'm going to get that bastard out of Sissy's down! I'm going to kill him! ”
"If you kill him, you'll only end up in jail! Would Sissy be willing? Will it be happy? Don't you think you're causing enough trouble?! ”
Watching the two men scuffle, the grocery store proprietress and Wen Manman could only do it on one side in a hurry, the grocery store proprietress was covered with blood on her hands, she couldn't care so much, rushed down the stairs to help her husband, Wen Manman also wanted to go down to help at the moment, but he didn't expect something worse to happen at this moment.
The grocery store proprietress herself was stabbed in the chest, plus she was nervous for so long just now, so she didn't have much strength to make? When she hugged Shan Mingze's arm, it happened that Shan Mingze's elbow pushed back, and the tip of the elbow was a little below the boss's chest, pushing the middle-aged woman against the wall.
The grocery store proprietress let out a miserable scream, and the whole person instantly went limp, but fortunately Wen Manman went downstairs in time at this time and hugged the proprietress from behind, and the two women fell on their backs on the stairs, Wen Manman's back hit the sharp edges and corners of the stairs, and she almost didn't get out of breath in pain.
Seeing that his wife was injured, the grocery store owner couldn't take care of it so much, and he didn't know where the strength came from, he pounced on Shan Mingze, picked up a thing on the table next to him, and knocked it on Shan Mingze's head, which went all out and made Shan Mingze faint.
When the grocery store owner calmed down, he found that he was holding a small bottle of mineral water in his hand, and because he used too much force, the plastic shell of the mineral water was broken, and the frozen ice inside was scattered and broken. Thanks to the mineral water bottle, if it is a hard ashtray on the table, Shan Mingze will suffer this time, and it is estimated that there will be one more dying person in the restaurant.
"The diner, I'm sure, is Mr. Butler, and Horror, there was only one possibility, she slipped into the food warehouse at the back of the restaurant, and when we investigated in the food warehouse yesterday morning, we found a brooch, and a strand of hair stuck to the door frame, apparently torn off, I guess Horror was very panicked when she ran in."
"We don't know how long this evidence was left, but it at least tells us that a little girl in the warehouse had been there, and that horror was the most likely. Also, the ice on the hair is very thick, and even Xiao Meng can't break it off, which means that he has been there for a while. ”
Yun Yeyao's mind was much clearer at the moment than just now, and his speech was no longer intermittent, perhaps it was Xie Yunmeng's warm embrace that gave him strength, Mr. Actor tried to cheer himself up, and continued: "We have no way of knowing what Mr. Butler's purpose is to debunk the horror now?" We will only have to wait until we understand all the people in the house and read the diary left by An Ze and the hostess before we can make a conclusion, but, horror, I think the death of Mr. Butler is inseparable from you anyway. ”
"I'm not a murderer, I didn't kill anyone, how can you talk nonsense without evidence?!" Horror roared hysterically, she was no longer the cowardly and timid little girl, Sister Wang, who was sitting not far away, still couldn't believe that the horror she treated like a daughter in her heart would actually become like this.
Sister Wang said: "Mr. Yun, Officer Xie, do you say that terror will be the same as stealing Ms. Wen'......" She was very hesitant when she said this, because she didn't know what kind of wording to use for Ms. Wen's changes? I don't know what Yun Yeyao thinks in his heart?
Yun Yeyao said: "No, Sister Wang, Horror is different from Ms. Wen, I said, she is Ann Qian, and Ann Qian does not have a dual personality. Horror, what have you been pretending to be for? I think you got this young face with your father's money for plastic surgery, right? At your age to the present. I should be over 30 years old. ”
"But plastic surgery has sequelae, especially the plastic surgery technology 15 years ago, which is not as developed as it is now, so you have to re-apply camouflage on your face to cover up the flaws revealed by the sequelae, these things have been clearly shown on your face."
The changes again and again, and the intrusion of the 'demon' in the depths of his heart, made Yan Muheng, who was sitting in front of Mei Xiaoxiao at the moment, physically and mentally exhausted, especially the worry about Yun Yeyao, so that he couldn't calm down.
And Mei Xiaoxiao didn't continue to let Yan Muheng read the diary in her hand, the diary taken down from the third floor can now be put away, Mei Xiaoxiao has more important things to worry about, these emergencies made the policewoman anxious, Liu Hang is gone!
Liu Qiaopu is such a grandson, if something happens, I'm afraid that Xiaoxiao will never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
Just now, a few people have checked the first floor inside and out, and it can be determined that Liu Hang must have gone to the second floor of the main house, and he has walked back and forth several times through the passage, and now it can be said that he is familiar with the way, but he doesn't know where he slipped from.
There was always someone in the recreation room, and it was impossible for Liu Hang to use it, so it was impossible for him to run into the tower through the recreation room and climb up from the place where Chokley came down next door? It's impossible, the organ is inside the second floor, even if they neglect Liu Hang's behavior, there is no way to open the entrance and exit there Liu Hang.
The only thing Liu Hang might have slipped into was the living room and study in front of the entrance, but there was no place to lead to the upstairs of the main house, what was Liu Hang going there for? Mei Xiaobai was puzzled, sitting there alone and worried, Grandma Tang and Yu Qia also followed to figure out a way, but the two old men estimated that they couldn't help with this kind of help, and they could only take care of the wounded.
Yan Muheng didn't want to count on him for the time being, first, because Yan Muheng wasn't sure when he would become the 'demon' that troubled them. Second, Yan Muheng was very excited just now, and he must not let him make trouble anymore about the things upstairs.
But what Mei Xiaoxiao didn't know was that she had to discuss this matter with Yan Muheng, because only Yan Muheng knew where Liu Hang might go upstairs.
The reason still goes back to the first day, everyone should remember that the second personality 'Yan Muheng' once met Yan Muheng played by Xie Yunmeng in the secret passage of the brown tower, and the place where he entered was on the wall on the side of the suspension ladder on the periphery of the brown tower.
At that time, 'Yan Muheng' brought a little girl who looked very similar to Wen Manman, and she admitted that it was Shu Xue, which was the first time Xie Yunmeng saw Shu Xue, and it was also the first time that the criminal police saw 'Yan Muheng' under the control of the second personality.
"But what do you mean when you saw that the former butler appeared, Anze was no longer in the Spiegel? You were only four or five years old at the time, and I think that with your mother's status, unless your father was Anze, the chances of you appearing in the Spiegel House should be very small! Do you want to say that you and Shu Xue's father may be An Ze? ”
Yun Yeyao's question brought everyone to the past again, and the cook's mother-in-law seemed to be saying something at this time? I've been looking for an opportunity to interject, but I can't catch the gap between the two of them.
Wen Manman replied: "No matter how you guess, I have only some vague memories of what happened back then, and as for how much it is the same as the facts, it can only be confirmed by the cook mother-in-law." I don't know who our father is? Whether it's a housekeeper or An Ze, I don't care about any of this. ”
"I mean, I suspect that Mr. Butler is An Ze, I saw him before the fire, at that time I didn't go to the Spiegel House occasionally, but I could often go with my mother, and no one ever stopped Shu Xue and me from entering the Spiegel House."
"But at first, I didn't see or find out at all that Mr. Butler was in the Spiegel House. Everything there was managed by the hostess, who at that time was often busy in the kitchen and the hostess would stay in the study for a long time. Later, the hostess did not know why she did not appear again, and so did Anze, and in her place was the mysterious butler who had never spoken to us. ”
"I haven't seen his face, only his back, and his figure and hair are very similar to An Ze."
"That's why you suspect that it is possible that before the fire, An Ze was eliminated by someone, or he planned the fire himself, and played the role of the mysterious Mr. Butler, right?"
"Maybe, it's all my guess anyway." Wen Manman replied, and she paused for a moment, as if in thought.
The cook's mother-in-law finally got the opportunity to speak, and said to Wen Manman: "Manman, what you said is right, Wen Yuya was indeed the maid we hired back then, and I think the hostess you mentioned should refer to me, not your mother." Before the fire, Anze and I used to manage the Spiegel House together, and I was his daughter's tutor and his daughter's stand-in, and Anze's daughter Anxi was hidden by him on the third floor of the main house, all of which I have already told Mr. Yun. ”
"But I don't understand, what do you want to explain when you talk about so many copies of the past? If you really want to explain this past and what you saw in the gap in the stairwell wall, then please tell us, what did you see? All right? I think there are some things that I might be able to explain a little bit for you. ”
After the detective retreated to a similar position, he secretly attached himself to the tall man's ear and said, "It seems that there is indeed something wrong with the little girl!" ”
"What do you say? I can't see it all yet, but the teacher seems to be able to see it much more than I do! The tall man's lips squirmed slightly, and the voice seemed to come from his ears, which only the detective beside him, and the old man he admired in front of him, could hear it.
The old man didn't speak, his thick and solid back blocked the whispering of the two people behind him, but the hand holding the back of the chair gently pulled the trouser leg of the tall man behind him, as if to remind them not to let others see it.
Receiving the hint from the old man, the two of them immediately sat up straight, and the detective continued to pretend to listen to the words of the girl in front of him, but the more he listened, the brighter the fireflies in his heart became, and some things had become clear and clear in his gray brain cells.
It was Shan Mingze who was not injured who remained in the warehouse, and when everything settled down, Shan Mingze began to calm down, first of all, why did Xixi say that the person he loved was less than? Less than should be the son of the cook of the treacherous house, and it's a terrifying boyfriend.
Xixi had nothing to do with the treacherous house before, and this time, she would come to the mountain, although it was Shan Mingze's fault. However, Shan Mingze did not plan to come to the treacherous house and lock it on the cliff at first, but wanted to seek the truth of the incident at the foot of the mountain from Xixi on the uninhabited mountain road.
It was a homicide caused by theft, and the witness was none other than Sissy's aunt in the district. However, what Shan Mingze and Xixi did not explain to the criminal police was that the middle-aged woman who died was actually not Xixi's aunt, but Xixi's nanny.
Cissy is an adopted daughter, and after the age of 17, her adoptive parents went abroad, and they have always been cared for by the family's nanny. Sissy usually spends most of her time at school or with friends, and doesn't spend much time at home, so she has very little contact with the babysitter.
Shan Mingze remembered that since he met Xixi a few years ago, he began to pursue her passionately, Xixi is very beautiful, which Shan Mingze has to admit. The earliest pursuit was indeed because of his covetousness for Xixi's eyebrows and her rich family, but gradually, Shan Mingze unknowingly really fell in love with Xixi.
Holding Xixi, whose body is still cold, Shan Mingze is trying to recall the bits and pieces of what happened in the past, when Xixi was in the resort, he obviously promised to go up the mountain with him to seek the truth, but he suddenly parted ways with him halfway up the mountain, and the nanny's behavior became very excited! All this made Shan Mingze puzzled, it was so strange, why did their attitude change so much?
After arriving at the mountain, Xixi woke up and kept avoiding him, Shan Mingze could even feel that Xixi was really avoiding him as a murderer, what was going on?
In fact, Sissy's avoidance and fear may be the mysterious man she saw when she woke up in the brown tower, this mysterious man, Sissy thought he was less, indicating that he must have borrowed the identity of the cook's son in this treacherous house, and being able to borrow the identity of less than means that this person must have more or less known about the treacherous house.
We can also get a glimpse of it from the conversation between Xixi and the mysterious man at that time, what he said at the time was to pull the suspicion of the homicide under the mountain desperately to Shan Mingze, and also asked Xixi to stabilize Shan Mingze, so that he could catch more Shan Mingze's handles.
Why does this man want to deal with Shan Mingze, one of them is, of course, that he wants both beauty and money. So what about the second? He can't be so simple, in the treacherous house, where the criminal police are there, he is willing to take the risk to deal with Shan Mingze, so this man calculates Shan Mingze, maybe he has a crime that has to be covered up, or he already knows the real purpose of the criminal police going up the mountain to investigate.
Anyway? At this moment, Shan Mingze was thinking about how to make Xixi tell the truth to herself, at least to herself, how much did she know about the reason behind the criminal police going up the mountain?
The murder that occurred at the foot of the mountain, what I said before was just some skin, there must be deeper clues hidden in the middle, and there must be something related to the child trafficking organization, otherwise, the criminal police would not disguise themselves and hide their identities to go up the mountain. They will not take the parties to the case to the mountains.
Now it seems that Qiao Keli and the real Yan Muheng must both be involved in the case under the mountain, because they are both people who have been helping the criminal police from the beginning, that is, the people who participated in Xie Yunmeng and Mei Xiaoxiao's actions to conceal their identities, and Yan Muheng is even ready to exchange identities with Xie Yunmeng at any time to ensure the smooth operation of his actions.
Of course, this kind of thing is based on the fact that Mr. Criminal Police does not know that Yan Muheng has a second personality, if from the beginning, Mr. Criminal Police knew that Yan Muheng had a hidden dark side, he would definitely not let Yan Muheng exchange identities with himself and protect the little girl outside the court.
Xixi is different, her frostbite is very severe, and the injuries on her skin can be relieved, but the joints and other places that involve mobility, you need to take measures as soon as possible.
Finally wrapped Xixi tightly, the proprietress could finally lie down and take a breath, because she bent over and bent her back, she felt a sharp pain in the wound on her chest, covering the wound site with one hand, the proprietress said to Shan Mingze: "Just now we and Officer Xie also found a corpse outside the restaurant, which has been dead for several days, do you know about it?" ”
“…… Not at all! What did Officer Xie say? Shan Mingze asked while paying attention to the reaction of the person in his arms. Because he had already seen the bloody and horrific death scene, no matter where he found the body now, he would not be too shocked.
"Officer Xie said that the body should have died before you went up the mountain, and it is possible that one of the guests in the treacherous house was replaced in the first place." The grocery store owner replied in place of his wife.
"Officer Xie meant that there was a person in the treacherous house who used a fake identity, and he thought that person was probably the murderer, right?" Shan Mingze asked rhetorically.
"We can't be sure about this, but I think listening to Officer Xie's tone, he should think so." The boss replied.
Shan Mingze lowered his head, he looked at Xixi's face and thought, Xie Yunmeng was able to say his thoughts to the couple in front of him without reservation, which proved that he had absolute trust in this couple. Why? Could it be that the grocery store owner and his wife had known the police officers before? Or rather, they are also related to certain things.
Until now, the real names of the grocery store owner and his wife, not only Xie Yunmeng and Yan Muheng have not mentioned it, but even they themselves have kept their mouths shut, and they don't know what their surnames are. Shan Mingze wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, he dispelled this idea again.
Instead of asking questions, it is better to wait for them to say it themselves. When the truth of the case is revealed, everyone's identities will be revealed, which Shan Mingze is convinced of, even if it is a witness to be protected by the police, after catching the murderer and determining his safety, it will not be a big deal to say his true identity.
If you are yelling and trying to figure everything out now, it will arouse the suspicion of the criminal police. Shan Mingze knows that if Xixi can't change his words, you can't get rid of the suspicion of murder on his body. He has been pondering, how much trust does the criminal police have in him?
On the top of the thin layer of ice, you can see two black shadows like footprints, moving towards the house little by little, the top of the black shadows is empty, not to mention people, not even feet, they seem to be a terrifying trick conjured up by a magician, and it seems to be a ghost with the magic of death, approaching the three people talking upstairs step by step, but the people upstairs are unaware.
As Shan Mingze thought, at this moment, all the people in the room are within the monitoring range of the criminal police, and there is no time to act at all, so what is going on with this 'ghost'? Could it really be that Xie Yunmeng buried it in the snow, and that corpse was transformed?!
Chapter 245 Pure White Dark Forest VI: Under the Ghost and the Corps
Step by step, the footprints of the 'ghost' walked towards the place where the three people were upstairs, and under the tinkling light of the living room, something seemed to be shining in the void, it was a brooch, exactly the same as the Nami brooch that Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng saw at the door of the warehouse behind the restaurant.
The brooch's light fluctuated slightly in the void, and the light reflected off the ground, forming several small dots, which had been in front of the black footprints, keeping a certain distance from them.
In fact, there is evidence left by the murderer in the restaurant kitchen, and although this evidence cannot directly identify who the murderer is, it can be of great help to the police to find the right clues.
Until now, no one has noticed, not even the actors and the criminal police. This is all thanks to the thick dirt in the kitchen, and it is this dirt that makes the evidence traces that should be obvious seem to disappear, hiding in the blind spot of sight.
Mr. Actor's neglect is because he is not experienced enough. And Mr. Detective, because of the corpse, he has no time to think of other things. All this provides convenience for the owner of the footprints at this moment.
The traces in the kitchen can also be said to be left by the 'ghost', but when he left these traces, he did not expect that he would become evidence of the murderer in the future. There was also the skin and black hair on the door frame of the food warehouse, all of which were accidentally left behind by the 'ghost', including the identical brooch.
These things, the 'ghosts' don't understand why Eternal wants to dispose of them for themselves? What purpose is it exactly?
One thing is certain, though, that Eternal has a crush on the 'ghost' and even puts the 'ghost' under his protection. Of course, what Eternal wants to protect is not the true personality of the 'ghost', but the identity he presents to everyone.
