Chapter 124: Accidental Murder in the Dining Room
The murderer's time calculation was really just right, Yun Yeyao had just left, Xie Yunmeng and Mei Xiaoxiao were resting upstairs, Qiao Keli and Liu Hang were guarding the entrance and exit of the secret passage, and Yan Muheng had not yet returned because of the abnormal situation of the restaurant.
In this special situation, the murderer chose to take action, perhaps to let Shan Mingze and Xixi escape, but what can these two people do? Are they all accomplices? Shan Mingze may be possible! But a weak girl like Xixi is still injured in the abdomen, and no one will think that she can help the murderer do anything!
Maybe it's not what everyone thinks, but how can we know now!!
After Liu Qiaopu separated Sister Wang and the little girl, he thought about asking everyone's questions separately later, at this time, he could see Shan Mingze in the entertainment room, so there was no suspicion of negligence.
Shan Mingze sat quietly all the time, did not look up, and did not cause any trouble to the old man, he looked like he was waiting, waiting for the moment when the answer was finally revealed.
Liu Qiaopu's eyes looked in the direction of Shan Mingze from time to time, the hardest bone to gnaw on now is this person, will he open his mouth to tell the truth? Liu Qiaopu was not sure at all. And that mysterious Eternal, who the hell is it? Is it someone from this family?
Next is the cook and Sister Wang, they give people the feeling that they are also hiding something, no one can guarantee that they don't know the reason why the housekeeper and the horror are lying! The reason for Sister Wang's full trust is because the criminal police need the help of this family, and Sister Wang is the most suitable person.
At this moment, on the right-hand side of Yanagihashi, that is, near the bar, everyone has moved the dining table and chairs to the side, and a couch in the entertainment room has been moved here.
On the sofa, counting from the position close to the door of the entertainment room, Liu Hang, Wen Manman, Xixi and Qin Sen sat side by side, and Lu Haoyu sat alone on the back chair, his position closest to Liu Qiaopu.
Opposite them, near the direction of the external entrance, Sister Wang sat alone on the original sofa in the restaurant. The cook's mother-in-law sat in the middle of the kitchen, right in front of Liu Qiaopu's line of sight. As for the three little girls who helped clean up and cook, the old man could only see their backs, because they were gathered in front of the glass table, which was partially blocked by the kitchen door.
That's all the people who are currently gathered on the first floor of the main house, and the upstairs are all trustworthy companions, Liu Qiaopu doesn't have to worry too much, after thinking for a while, he closed his eyes, and leaned back in his chair slightly as if he was tired.
The old man was wearing a woolen cardigan, and his down jacket hung on the back of the chair behind him, which had been completely ignored by Yanagihashi Pu since the case got out of hand.
At this moment, Liu Qiaopu seemed to have just remembered, and his hand was digging in the pocket of his down jacket intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was looking for something, maybe it was a cigarette, or maybe it was a gadget that could be played with, old man! When it's quiet, there's always something like that.
No one paid attention to Liu Qiaopu's behavior, and everyone's nerves were still tense, especially the girls, except for Wen Manman, almost everyone else seemed very panicked, their eyes turned out of the window from time to time, and everyone was praying that the wind and snow would stop soon.
After a moment, Liu Qiaopu's fingers suddenly trembled slightly, and then froze in place, as if he had grasped some important clue? But the old man didn't pull his hand out, but without everyone noticing, the whole person remained in a sluggish state and remained motionless.
At the same time, there was an almost inaudible sound of footsteps in the entertainment room, and the people inside cautiously moved towards the small door of the bathroom, which was currently the only one that could avoid everyone's sight.
He walked slowly, careful not to be heard by anyone outside, perhaps because everyone was too nervous, until there was a click in the recreation room, as if the lock was being tightened, and no one noticed the unusual situation.
"Huh? Someone seems to be closing the door in the recreation room! The first to question was Lu Haoyu, his seat was closest to the old man, and he seemed to feel a black figure flickering through it.
Lu Haoyu immediately swept a layer of white sweat all over his body, he quickly stood up and stretched out his head to look inside the entertainment room! Unexpectedly, after just one glance, he immediately screamed: "Grandpa Liu, that kid inside is gone!" ”
“!!” This voice made the people who were sitting stand up in an instant, Wen Manman can be regarded as the most sober one among all of them, she didn't do unnecessary useless work, and immediately took Xixi's hand and ran to Liuqiaopu.
shouted at him: "Grandpa Liu, wake up!" Shan Mingze ran away! ”
Seeing that Liu Qiao Pu did not react, Wen Manman pushed the old man with his hand again, but he didn't expect that with a push, Liu Qiao Pu slowly fell to the ground like a wooden man. Only then did everyone notice that his eye sockets and lips were blue-black, and his face was lifeless like a dead man.
With the impact of falling to the ground, the old man's gray hair was scattered on the floor, and a trace of dark black blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth......
"Grandpa Liu? Grandpa Liu?!! ……”
This time everyone was stunned, the girls let out a scream as usual, and the cook almost stumbled out of the kitchen, and was hugged by Sister Wang, who rushed over, so that she did not fall.
Lu Haoyu sat down on the floor, his hands and feet stepped back, his lips trembling and he couldn't say a word.
Cissy hugged Vinmanman's arm tightly, her legs were weak, and her whole body hung on it, almost breaking the slender arm. A small scream kept pouring out of Xixi's mouth, and the little girl's spirit seemed to be about to collapse.
The three girls left in the kitchen did not dare to set foot in the dining room, they hugged each other tightly, leaning against the glass table and shivering, the dishes in their hands shattered by the sudden situation, right at her own feet.
Unconsciously, because of extreme fear and without a backbone, everyone was retreating, and no one dared to approach Liuqiaopu's side.
Wemanman retreated into the corner, and she felt a tingling pain in her arm, and pushed Sissy away, shrinking herself into the corner of the couch. At times like these, she is not obligated to protect anyone!
Even Liuqiao Pu has an accident, what's the use of being brave no matter how brave he is?! For the first time, Venmanman tasted despair, and she didn't know it! How long will the days in this treacherous house last?!
'Crazy! This murderer must be a madman! Kill so many people! also exposed his relationship with Shu Xue, what did he want to do?! Wen Manman can clearly realize that without correct analysis and judgment, he will soon bear doubts from all sides, and will even be locked up as a murderer by everyone!
However, she couldn't make up her mind to break away from everyone, because one person would indeed be more dangerous! Wen Manman is a smart little girl, and Yun Yeyao found out about this from the beginning. Even in the current situation, she has not lost the ability to think.
Liu Qiaopu looked like he was poisoned, but before he was poisoned, no one had approached him, nor had he touched anything special, breakfast was eaten by everyone, and it was not one for each person, it was shared on a plate, so there was no possibility of poisoning!
Besides, it's been a while since breakfast was over, and if the poison was going to attack, it should have happened a long time ago, so how could it be delayed until now? Wen Manman was puzzled, how did Liu Qiao Pu get poisoned?! There are only so many people who come into contact with him, is it Sister Wang?
No, Sister Wang didn't even touch Liu Qiaopu's hand just now. What about the Horror and Sissy? No, Horror and Sissy just shook hands with the old man. And after that, they also took other people's hands, and the people behind them were fine, why did Liu Qiao Pu have an accident?!
Just like Shu Xue in Meng Qier's room, the murder case without a 'murderer' was staged again, and what happened this time was even more bizarre than when Shu Xue died! Because the whole room was full of witnesses, but they couldn't find any suspicion or evidence against the murderer!
——
In the shadows, where no one noticed, the position of the personnel began to change slightly. Inadvertently, someone secretly pulled Xixi's sleeve, so that the little girl instantly stopped a small scream, she shook her head slightly as if she wanted to shake off something bad, but the corner of her eyes secretly glanced at the person who pulled her sleeve.
The silent guidance led Cissy into the door behind her without anyone noticing, and the shivering man sitting on the ground buried his head behind the cushion of the sofa, and did not see the little girl who was moving secretly at all.
Cissy pressed her hands against her abdomen, not just because of the wound, she looked like she was guarding something, and she bent her back slightly.
Finally breaking away from everyone, Cissy immediately threw herself into a warm embrace, that person was the only person Cissy could trust now, and he hugged the little girl, not to carry her into a comfortable environment, but to push her into the ice and snow.
Suddenly, Cissy felt a biting cold enveloping her body, and she realized that she could never go back, and the person who had been gentle to her just now had locked the only passage tightly at this moment, abandoning her in the snow white that gradually devoured life.
Cissy wanted to rush up and knock on the locked door of life, but she didn't have any strength, she couldn't even stand up, and the wind and snow quickly took away the body temperature of the little girl who was only wearing a sweater, like a white swamp, swallowing up the life she had just gotten into it little by little.
At the last moment, a snow-white down jacket wrapped around Sissy, who was about to faint, and then a pair of strong arms picked up the little girl from the snow pit.
'So he didn't want to abandon me... It seems that I have misunderstood, and he wants to take me to a safer place...... 'Cissy closed her eyes and excused her loved one in her heart, not at all expecting that it would be someone else who would pick her up.
