Chapter 155 on wallpaper and lies
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.
It wasn't a certain person who laid the wallpaper, but all the original occupants of this house, Sister Wang, Horror and Cook, and the dead Mr. Butler, they must have known about the secret passage and the skeleton, so on the issue of the secret passage of the tower, these people all lied, and Mr. Actor was very sure of this.
And what the cook said to Yun Yeyao in the entertainment room of the main house yesterday afternoon, Yun Yeyao has never forgotten, what she is hinting at Yun Yeyao, and no matter whether her actions are good or bad, there are many doubts about the cook's actions in the horror and housekeeping incidents. Yun Yeyao would raise these suspicions when he asked them individually, but now he couldn't expose his thoughts in front of Yan Muheng's eyes.
The suspicions created by the wallpaper may seem to have nothing to do with the significance of the skeleton to the murderer, but when you think about it, the answer is easy to come to the conclusion that the family members in the treacherous house know the true face of the skeleton because they tried to hide it from anyone. And the murderer just wants to expose this skeleton, so that certain things from the past can be presented to the investigators, and to whom will these things be involved? At present, only the murderer and the original occupants of the treacherous house know.
In addition to the wallpaper, there is also a suspicion about the dead Meng Qi'er, the reason why she died in the secret passage of the blue tower may be related to the past of the treacherous house, maybe it was only because of her weak vigilance that she was killed by the murderer and used as a bait.
However, in addition to the fatal wound on the back of her neck, Meng Qi'er also had a deep wound on her abdomen, and the skin around the wound even had traces of frostbite. And the wound on her abdomen wasn't freshly scratched, it looked like it was going to be days. Also, Meng Qi'er has been in the house all the time, and when the avalanche happened, she didn't approach the danger zone, how could she have frostbite on her body?
But looking at Meng Qi'er's face, Yun Yeyao had to admit her identity. Just like the corpse of Shu Xue who framed Liu Qiaopu, it seems that the identity is conclusive on the surface, but in fact, it is not convincing at all.
Yan Muheng stood behind him and watched Yun Yeyao silently, he didn't want to disturb the people who were thinking quietly, and he didn't want to ruin his mood of appreciating him. Unconsciously, something on Yan Muheng's body was changing again.
