Chapter 403 Reasoning: The First Act of All the Secrets Fifteen Years Ago and Fifteen Years Later
It wasn't because the snow was getting thicker, but because there might be a stretch of snow in front of the cliff that was frozen on the edge of the cliff, and there was no rock at the bottom to support it, like the eaves of a house, and if he stepped on it, he would fall down in an instant, and his bones would be gone. So men have to be more careful.
Finally reaching the edge of the cliff, the man threw the bag on his back into the endless darkness, he had now cleared all the evidence left in the food warehouse, and this action may prove that he had something to do with the kidnapping of the proprietress and the only witness to this incident, the restaurant proprietress herself, has not yet returned to her normal mental state, so the scar-faced man's actions are not evidenced for the time being.
Xiaoxiao also realized that she was indeed reckless, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I thought the murderer was hiding inside, are you okay!" ”
“…… How could it be okay! All dying! How can you hit so hard?! Wen Manman complained unceremoniously, indeed, usually used to beat Mr. Criminal Police and criminals, such a weak little girl Wen Manman can't bear it no matter what. Luckily, the planks outside blocked most of the force, otherwise the ribs could have been broken.
In this case, Xiaoxiao could only step aside and motioned to Lian Fan to ask the little girl, what happened?
But it was not Lian Fan's turn to ask, because Xie Yunmeng didn't know when he stood behind Mei Xiaoxiao, and Mei Xiaoxiao stood up and just retreated into the arms of Mr. Criminal Police.
Xie Yunmeng reflexively hooked his girlfriend with one hand, but his expression was indescribably stunned, and his black pupils stared at Wen Manman who was holding his chest on the sofa, he maintained this appearance for two or three minutes, making Xiao Xiao look confused, I don't know what this criminal investigation captain was thinking?
After a while, Mei Xiaoxiao finally couldn't help it, she knocked Xie Yunmeng's shoulder with her fist and asked, "Hey! What the hell are you thinking? Say it! ”
"I ...... No, it's ...... She ......, "Xie Yunmeng is in a state of incoherence at all, which makes Mei Xiaoxiao ready to get angry again."
But in the next second, the object of her anger actually turned around and rushed into the blue tower, and when she left, she didn't forget to shout: "Look at Wen Manman, I'll be back soon!" ”
With a puzzled head, of course, it was impossible for him to stay where he was, so he relayed Xie Yunmeng's words to Lian Fan, and then went to chase Mr. Criminal Police.
In an instant, in the dining room on the first floor of the treacherous house's main house, only Wen Manman, who was still moaning in pain, and Lian Fan, who was standing in place at a loss, were left.
The only thing the house can bring me is loneliness, and I am still very happy when Eternal is at home, although the cook does not approve of us leaving work and staying together, and my mother-in-law seems to see every day as a necessary thing to do in life. Naturally, we young people do not fully understand.
She did the same for Eternal, she never missed much, she just bothered to take care of her. Feelings are a thing in the treacherous house, and I only feel a little more from Mr. Butler.
Indeed, Mr. Housekeeper is a little more emotional than the rest of the house, as can be seen from his attitude towards the proprietress of the restaurant outside. The proprietress of the restaurant would often call the housekeeper who was out to talk, and the housekeeper was always very patient in this regard.
Therefore, I am willing to tell Mr. Butler about anything, and once, I heard Mr. Butler mention Shu Xue, a name that is very unfamiliar to me. It's not that I don't know I've been working as a stand-in for someone, I just don't know what that person's name is and if they're still alive.
Mr. Butler said that this person was Shu Xue, but I was still very confused about it, and later, I told Eternal about it, and he didn't say anything about it, but after that, I found that Mr. Butler began to avoid my questions about Shu Xue.
Perhaps, no one in this family likes Shu Xue? I didn't understand, so I told the proprietress of the restaurant about it, because every day when I left the house to work in the restaurant, no one would control my words and deeds, and I could say what I liked without any scruples, although I still didn't say much, but compared to being in the house, it was a lot.
When the proprietress heard me say Shu Xue's name, for a moment, I felt as if she couldn't control her tears, but then there were customers in the restaurant, so I wasn't sure if what I felt at that time was the truth.
“…… No, I'll be fine here. The horror rubbed into Sister Wang's arms, closed her eyes and said. Her response ushered in a gentle smile from the middle-aged woman, and then hugged the little girl a little tighter, and the two of them continued to sleep with their heads on their heads.
Yun Yeyao on the side saw all this, he never fell asleep, although the two wardrobe doors that could lead to the secret passage had been sealed by him and Qiao Keli together, and it was unlikely that anyone would come out of there again, but I don't know why, Yun Yeyao just couldn't put his mind at ease.
Maybe it's because Xie Yunmeng and Xiaoxiao haven't returned yet, the actor's eyes look at the door from time to time, and he prays in his heart that Mr. Criminal Police is safe.
I hope you and Xiaoxiao can be happy, maybe with Xiaoxiao, you are safe. Yun Ye Yao thought, and the moisture in his eyes never subsided.
It was past twelve o'clock in the night, and the demon was resting in what everyone thought was a safe room, and he had done enough for the day, and he needed to recuperate himself for the next day in the treacherous house.
Guarding and fearing that this time does not belong to the demon, after all, his identity is still safe.
The night may be dangerous, but sometimes it can also bring special comfort, just like the demon who is asleep now, and his sleep allows others to enjoy a moment of peace. But can demons keep themselves safe? That's a different story.
There was no twilight in the closed room, and outside the house, the man shrouded in thick ink was alone savoring the cold and longing, the ice and snow froze into hoarfrost on his eyelashes and hair, and the breath exhaled from his lips slightly opened brought a burst of warmth, which was the aftertaste of kisses.
I don't know how many years I haven't been able to touch my true heart, and at this moment, the man doesn't want to let go anymore. Maybe after all this is over, I too will have a new period of redemption, Mother! Please bless that person. ’
Open your arms to the sky until you feel the person of your dreams sneak into your arms. Midnight is a dream moment for this man, he, like his mother, has countless treasures hidden in his gray brain cells, but they are different beings, and his mother has spent her life for this, and she has never waited for happiness.
"Xiao Yao did discover a lot of secrets in this house, but Wen Manman can't be regarded as a completely uninformed person, because when you and Xixi disappeared just now, the teacher once asked Wen Manman to come to the brown tower to deliver food, and at that time I found the corpses of the proprietress and a middle-aged woman in the bell tower, and Xiao Yao was investigating the suspicions in the only murder room in the brown tower."
"The proprietress who was with the corpse was frightened and crazy, and it was Wen Manman who pretended to be a little maid and looked terrified, and finally tricked the proprietress out of the bell tower, so that I could send her safely to the room where Sister Wang and Xiao Qiao were. Later, I took care of Wen Manman and went back to the main house to meet the teacher. ”
"I climbed down from the periphery of the bell tower to investigate, and at the eaves partition below, I saw another Yan Muheng who secretly sneaked here, he didn't take Xixi with him, but with a ......" Speaking of this, Xie Yunmeng suddenly seemed to remember something and said loudly to Mei Xiao: "It's Shu Xue, by the way, it's Shu Xue!" Walk! Let's go back to the restaurant and I have something to ask her!! ”
Keeping up with Xie Yunmeng, who was headless and brainless and running wildly into the restaurant, Mei Xiaoxiao began to figure out the ins and outs of the matter a little, she understood that the criminal police were smoothing out their thinking step by step, so they must not interrupt him now, the only thing they could do was to follow him until he figured out the key points of the incident.
Maybe the key point now has gradually become clear in the mind of the criminal police, and in less than a minute, the two of them appeared at the door of the restaurant, where it was still the same, Wen Manman was lying on the sofa and covering his chest, and Lian Fan stood on the side and looked stupidly at the direction where Xie Yunmeng and Mei Xiaoxiao came back.
Ignoring Lian Fan, who looked like he was asking for help, Xie Yunmeng rushed to Wen Manman and asked, "Are you Wen Manman or Shu Xue?!" ”
This question made the little girl raise her upper body in an instant, and Wen Manman couldn't hide her surprise and fear at the name Xie Yunmeng said, her face was blue and white for a while, she could barely control her expression, and even her lips were trembling.
Grabbing the leather case of the sofa with both hands, Wen Manman's knuckles turned white, and she bit her lower lip several times before she finally spoke: "Officer Xie, when did you see Shu Xue?" ”
"Answer my question first! Are you Wen Manman or Shu Xue! ”
"I don't think it's the time to stay, and there's one thing you don't know! Yan Muheng on the periphery can no longer be trusted! Originally, he came to the treacherous house to cooperate with us as an insider of the peripheral case, but at that time, because he was about the same height and size as me, it was decided to let him play Yan Muheng with me. ”
"But now, we need to reconsider his behind-the-scenes identity, first of all, the person who brought Shu Xue, who looks very similar to Wen Manman, to me is him, and secondly, the person who may have made a move on Xiao Yao is also him, Xiao Yao has always been convinced that Yan Muheng is me after discovering my flaws this morning. I guess that's because of this, Xiao Yao will be attacked lightly. ”
"So, neither of us can stay behind, according to our previous investigation, there are also many institutions in the treacherous house owner's house, and now I have no way to make it clear to you about the specifics, Xiaoxiao, you must immediately go to the periphery to find Yan Muheng and Xixi, it is best to keep Xixi under your protection." This little girl was an insider in the case before we came, and she may even be one of the participants. ”
"I will hand over Wen Manman and Lian Fan to the teacher, and the teacher will handle Wen Manman's affairs, and then I will discuss with the teacher how to carry out the actions inside the house. This is the safest approach at the moment. You must stay with Sixi, in case the murderer wants to disadvantage the grocery store owner and his wife, he will not dare to do it easily with you. ”
"You must not tell Xixi about the things inside, if Yan Muheng outside returns to the grocery store, you will pretend not to know and find a reason to stay by his side and spy on him. If Yan Muheng doesn't go back, you will stay there to protect Xixi and the grocery store proprietor, and wait for my news. ”
"Only you can do these things now, and I'll hurry up and try to get to know all the secrets of this house by tomorrow morning. Remember, wherever you act? Be careful, this murderer is not an ordinary person, he can kill the victim right under my nose and do it without me noticing, that alone is terrifying enough! ”
"I am a child who has been forced to leave his biological mother since I was a child, and I don't even know who my father is, what is his name? Even my mother's name was vague, and I only remembered her surname Wen, so when I grew up, I changed my surname to Wen. ”
"Thankfully, my adoptive parents didn't mind that, as they had adopted more than one child, they were a kind, loving couple. It's very good to treat every child equally. Being able to grow up in such a family is probably the only blessing in my life. ”
"Fifteen years ago, I was a six-and-a-half-year-old child, but I can already remember some things, I remember, I have a younger sister named Wen Shuxue, I remember the name of Spiegel, and my mother used to be a maid in Spiegel."
"Originally, the two sisters and I could live by our mother's side with peace of mind, but suddenly one day, my mother told us that she had a big deal and needed to send me down the mountain to someone else to raise for the time being, and she said that she would definitely come to pick me up in the future."
"At that time, I didn't understand why my sister Wen Shuxue could stay with her mother, but I couldn't! My mother's explanation was: My sister is not sensible and insensitive to some things, but I am different, I am already sensible, and I will tell others what I know, so I must leave my mother's side and go down the mountain. ”
Such an explanation is simply incomprehensible to a child. On a snowy night like today, my mother wrapped me in a padded jacket and delivered me to a strange couple, whose face I couldn't see clearly in the snowstorm. ”
"But I still remember vividly that when my mother sent me away, she didn't shed a single tear, because I kept touching my mother's cheeks with my hands, those hands that were frozen like carrots, and there were no tears, only stiffness and coldness."
"You can imagine how cruel and desperate this is for a six-and-a-half-year-old child. I was taken away, leaving my family by blood forever and becoming the child of a stranger, though living conditions were much better than in the mountains. ”
"The hostess's room was not as small as it is now, and when the layout of the main house was re-planned, the hostess herself asked for two-thirds of the room to be divided into the study, so her room became less than ten square meters."
"After the fire, the police's initial investigation found that the source of the fire came from the kitchen of the side house, and the newspaper said that the hostess blamed the maid for killing her father like crazy, which left the maid speechless."
"Fortunately, during the subsequent careful investigation, the police did not get any substantial evidence of intentional arson from the kitchen, and when the maid left the kitchen, she turned off the microwave and the stove that was burning the fire."
"This creates a strange situation where there is no fire in the kitchen, and there is no intentional or unintentional negligence on the part of the maid. The power cords in the kitchen and surrounding areas have not been found to have spontaneous combustion of aging. However, judging from the outside, the fire did spread from the kitchen. ”
"This incident also bothered the people in the Spiegel House for a long time, until I went to work in the Spiegel House, the hostess was still suffering from the after-effects of the fire, and her mental state was very poor, and she was reluctant to go out at all. At that time, the cook and the housekeeper warned me. ”
"You can't just go outside and talk about the hostess's mental condition, you can only say that the hostess is inconvenient to go out because she was burned by the fire."
"Therefore, for many years, we have been speaking in one voice, and the people who live around here do not know that the hostess has gone insane, they only know that the hostess is hiding in the house because of burns."
When Sister Wang said this, Liu Qiaopu said: "This is understandable, and it is no wonder that Mr. Housekeeper told us at the beginning that the hostess's legs and feet were inconvenient and it was impossible to move. But he still went to the periphery with Xiao Yun to look for a big circle. So, Sister Wang, when you came here, did the proprietress already open a restaurant on the side of the mountain road? ”
"Yes, it was the proprietress who introduced me to Spiegel."
"Is there anything else that makes sense of the fire?" Yun Ye asked.
Sister Wang thought for a while and said, "All I know is the above, and there is no more." ”
"So what kind of existence is Shu Xue here?" Yun Yeyao continued to ask.
"Actually, I don't know if Shu Xue is still in this house, and I have never seen her, but I heard Xiao Wei say that there was such a little girl next to the hostess. Horror said that she was adopted by the hostess because Shu Xue left. ”
"Teacher, this is indeed something we didn't think through, but we have investigated his details, and he is actually ......"
"Little Meng!! Don't say it yet!! Yun Yeyao suddenly covered Xie Yunmeng's mouth with his hand, then looked left and right at the people present, and said to Liu Qiaopu: "Grandpa Liu, I ......"
"Call the teacher!" Yanagihashi corrected him in a low voice.
Yun Yeyao hurriedly changed his words and said again: "Teacher, can you wait for Xiao Meng to catch the murderer and then tell you together, because...... I don't mean anything else because ......"
Yun Yeyao couldn't find a suitable reason to inform Liu Qiao Pu of his thoughts, and between his thoughts, the old man understood what he meant first-'There are ghosts here'
Liu Qiaopu sighed, this kid is indeed very smart, but his reaction is also signaling that he wants to keep a hand on a few people, and he can't believe it all or disbelieve it. Including the 'Yan Muheng' who is both good and evil outside
Liu Qiaopu nodded at Yun Yeyao and said, "When you want to say it, you decide for yourself, anyway, I'm just an ordinary person now, and I should cooperate with the criminal police investigation." ”
Xie Yunmeng was also a little stunned by Yun Yeyao's sudden reaction, maybe he thought that it didn't matter if the real name of the 'Yan Muheng' outside was said, but seeing the teacher's reaction, he swallowed his words back.
At present, the description of the peripheral crime is completely blank, except for the previous conversation in Sissy's room, and the occasional mention of a few words.
Although this incident occurred before the Treacherous House Murder, it is a derivative of the Treacherous House Murder, so it needs to be narrated from the mouth of another person in the future exploration, and this person is the only family member who has not appeared in the Treacherous House so far - Eternal.
"Mr. Butler is really forgetful, didn't you tell me this yourself? It was the first time I took the horror to play in the ruins of a side house, and you, Mr. Butler, happened to come out of the basement, so you told us about the cave in the rock. ”
"Because the cook lady doesn't approve of Horror being with me, Mr. Butler came up with the idea to let us secretly date in the underground cave, have you forgotten all this?" The succession of questions and the confusion on the young man's face convinced Mr. 'Cook' that the man must have mistaken himself for the butler of the House of Treachery, that is, he did not know that the butler had died.
Mr. 'Cook' had a smile on his face, if that was the case, then the person in front of him could be used for himself. So he said to the young man named Eternal in front of him, "I'm going to go to the innkeeper's shop now and get some things, and I'll tell you the reason later, and if you can come with me to help, it would be the best." ”
"What are you going to get? I just came from there and the hostess wasn't in the store at all. The chef didn't know where to go. There was a hint of suspicion in Eternal's tone, and of course Mr. 'Cook' couldn't have heard it, because all his attention was now on the young man.
"On such a cold day, the proprietress is not in the store? Did she go somewhere else? Mr. 'Cook' asked, feigned surprise.
Eternal shook his head to say he didn't know, he said, "I always thought the situation in the hostess's shop was very strange, especially the food warehouse at the back of the house, there was a lot of unplucked and disemboweling hens in it, and I don't know who smashed the door of the warehouse. ”
"It won't be Yan Muheng in this family, right?"
"Yan Muheng? Is this man very powerful? The warehouse door is completely reimbursed! Eternal asked.
"Yes, this man has a scar on his face, it's terrifying, I've seen him bang on the door, and he's surprisingly strong. But I don't know why he went to the food warehouse behind the restaurant, because there are so many things going on at home that I can't keep an eye on everyone's movements. Eternal, did you find anything else unusual over there in the warehouse? ”
"For so many years, you have really been stupid enough to spend two hours a day hiding outside that person's room and trying to eavesdrop on secrets, and for this reason you did not hesitate to let Mr. Butler cooperate with you, do you think he is as stupid as you? He would have betrayed you a long time ago, otherwise, how could you not have heard anything about dreams until now! ”
Eternal pressed forward to make Mr. Chef's mental defenses crumble little by little, and then tell the secret that he and the butler had hidden for fifteen years.
When there was no way back, the chef finally despaired, and he said, "Let Shu Xue and Xiaowen go, and I'll tell you the secret." ”
There was no deterrent quid pro quo coming out of the fat man's mouth, making Eternal scoff, he never thought that this chef would think about others, everything was a joke, including the mention of Shu Xue and Xiaowen now.
"If you love Shu Xue, you won't let her stay by my side, you know that Shu Xue should hate me, it's my mother's selfishness that makes Shu Xue lose her freedom, and it's also because of hatred that the skeleton will stay in the blue 'cell' forever." (Eternal's blue cell is the wall where the skeleton is imprisoned in the secret passage of the blue tower, who is the skeleton?) He and the housekeeper, the chef and Shu Xue all knew. )
"If you really love Aunt Wen, how can you want to get rid of the person she loves again and again? Mr. Cook, I don't want to say your real name, because I hate it, and it is you who have put eternity to shame! Now that I have abandoned hatred and love, and only hope to understand the past, do you still want to reject me? ”
Eternal pretended that he didn't want to hurt Mr. Chef at all, he stopped in front of the chef, put his hands in his pockets, gripped something tightly, and waited motionless for the chef's response.
“…… Fifteen years ago...... Is it really that important what happened? Let you do whatever it takes to get answers. ”
The cold air was poured into the entrance and exit without being closed, and Eternal had already gone away, he never thought that he was so calculating, or was plotted by the murderer, and Mr. Chef's death would undoubtedly destroy Eternal's entire plan in the future, and even put him and the people he wanted to protect in danger.
Now, Eternal's direction is the grocery store where Xixi is hidden, and Mei Xiaoxiao has been waiting for him here, in the end, how will Eternal and Mei Xiaoxiao's actions develop, can the policewoman with high force value go deep into Eternal's heart and successfully counter the murderer in the house?
Or will Yun Ye Yao finally meet this man named Eternity again? None of this was under our control. However, change will always come, and it is only a matter of time before it reverses.
And we are about to usher in the early morning of December 31, 2014, which is the second day of the crowd in the treacherous house. So far, they've been through a day and two nights, and so much has happened. Everything is like a mess, and it's hard to figure out.
In the end, the stubborn Liu Qiao Pu still prevented Yun Yeyao from acting with Xie Yunmeng, although the two of them had different opinions, but it was undeniable that Liu Qiao Pu alone in the room really couldn't take care of it, after all, Xie Yunmeng still had a little one who could interact at any time.
After Xie Yunmeng left, Liu Qiaopu pulled Yun Yeyao outside the door and said to him: "Xiao Yun, I can see the relationship between you and Xiao Meng, and there is a little heart, don't think that the old man is a rough man!" I've seen a lot of all kinds of things in this society. ”
"I just want to say to you, don't affect Xiaomeng's future and your own life, Xiaoxiao is the most suitable person for Xiaomeng, and you can only be a friend! If you understand, stay here, these people in the room need your help even more!! ”
After speaking, Liu Qiaopu glanced at Yun Yeyao solemnly, leaving him no room for excuses, and went back to the room by himself, leaving the actor alone at the door of the room, trying to digest the words just now.
There were no tears, no sadness, not even great emotional fluctuations, Yun Yeyao had already expected the old man's thoughts, he felt lonely for no reason, and the beach in his memory appeared in front of him at this moment, but the beautiful blue turned into a gray and lonely color.
In the quiet room of the night, only the slight words of the two of them remained, accompanied by the snoring of people on the ground, like a different kind of moonlight sonata.
As the clock ticked by, the heavy splash of ink faded, and on the periphery of the brown tower, the sky was shining with the morning light, illuminating the white earth that was still stained with blood.
When Dawn reaches the top of the bell tower, the demon who had rested in the locked space for the night also wakes up, and he will begin his plans for the next day.
The eighteen people who accompanied him are now Xie Yunmeng, Yun Yeyao, Mei Xiaoxiao, Liu Qiaopu, Tang Grandma and grandchildren, Liu Hang, Wen Manman, Tao Muqing, Xia Tomato, Qin Sen, Lian Fan, Lu Haoyu, Qiao Keli, Xixi and the man on the bed, a total of sixteen people.
Meng Qi'er died in the secret passage of the blue tower, after being stabbed in the abdomen, and then stabbed through the back of the neck by the skeleton's fingers. The middle-aged woman who suffered the avalanche with Sissi was dismembered and left in her guest room, and the body was moved and used to intimidate Ms. Wen (the restaurant owner's wife).
And the only people in this family are Sister Wang and the cook, the hostess disappeared at the beginning, Mr. Housekeeper and later Mr. Cook were killed inexplicably, that is to say, the people who can be the masters in the treacherous house have been eliminated by the murderer, and regardless of whether the hostess exists and is alive, the first task of Liuqiao Pu and Yun Yeyao in the early morning is to confirm to the cook what happened to this home before the fire.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the murder in the treacherous house must be closely related to the past, and can Liu Hang, who waits until dawn, really guarantee everyone's safety? What kind of truth will the cook tell her?
When Yan Muheng returned to Xixi's side, he saw Mei Xiaoxiao who was with her at a glance, at this time, he didn't know if he could call her by her real name in front of Xixi, because he shouldn't know most of the things in the house.
"Xiaomei, why are you here?" Yan Muheng asked.
Mei Xiaoxiao asked him with a questioning tone: "Where have you been, do you know how dangerous it is to leave Xixi alone, she has already been attacked once!" Besides, it's not safe for you to go out alone, what if the murderer sees it?! ”
Yan Muheng was also noncommittal, walking around looking for the switch of the air conditioner, after a while, the room gradually warmed up, he took off his down jacket full of snow, sat on the edge of Xixi, hugged the little girl into his generous arms and said, "Xixi, it's okay, it will be warm in a while." ”
The man's gaze did not look at Mei Xiaoxiao, but Mei Xiaoxiao's eyes kept staring at the man who was still using Yan Muheng's name.
The policewoman was observing, observing the flaws he might have exposed, but she found nothing, this man's acting skills were so good, he didn't say anything at all just now.
We know that it is impossible for Mei Xiaoxiao and Xie Yunmeng to trust the man in front of them anymore, from the moment he returned to the inside of the brown tower with Shu Xue, there was already a suspicion of a murderer or accomplice, if he hadn't run around with Shu Xue, it was possible that the murderer would not have discovered Shu Xue's existence so early.
Also, what did he do to Yun Yeyao? This is also where Mei Xiaoxiao is confused, Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng's relationship, Mei Xiaoxiao is not aware of it at all, and she doesn't think there is anything to criticize the two of them, after all, who can say clearly about the relationship.
What's more, the policewoman herself also has the same confidant and friend-Zuo Lan, she can completely imagine the relationship between Xie Yunmeng and Yun Yeyao as the same as Zuo Lan. However, to be able to make Xie Yunmeng so angry, what this man did to Yun Yeyao was by no means as simple as a small mechanical attack.
'If I knew that someone in the house almost wanted to break his bones just now, I guess he wouldn't be able to disguise it so casually, I must know what he did to Yun Yeyao!' ’
Secretly made up his mind, Mei Xiaoxiao said: "That's it, let's not be here either, if Xixi can act, it is best to meet with the survivors in the house, it will be safer." Now the situation in the house has changed a lot. ”
"There are fewer and fewer people to trust, we need manpower, you better participate in the operation with Chokli, as long as the snow stops and the police on the periphery go up the mountain, you don't have to contribute anymore."
"Won't the helicopter come up?" Yan Muheng asked.
"That's right! It's too troublesome like this, but luckily Xiao Budian went to school at the bottom of the mountain, otherwise I really can't imagine what would have happened to him if he knew about these terrible things! The woman said.
The man pulled the woman and said, "Hurry up and go in, wait until your body is warm, this kind of weather, it's not a joke to be outside for a long time, take out the key that Miss Criminal Police gave you." ”
"Okay, okay."
The woman quickened her pace to the front of the man, taking off her heavy gloves and searching for the key in the pocket of her down jacket. After a while, the door of the house was opened, and the man stopped the woman who wanted to enter, and the probe looked around the room to make sure that there was no danger, and then opened the door and let the woman in.
Then he entered, and locked the door from the inside. Now, the two of them finally settled down, and the woman teased her husband while looking for the air conditioning switch: "It turns out that you are not very bold, just now you looked at you sneakily looking inside, you are not as good as me!" ”
She said this to liven up the atmosphere, and secondly, she was afraid that if there were people upstairs, they would be considered thieves. Although the person who asked them to come clearly told that there was no one here, the host's house was in the treacherous house.
But the woman still inexplicably felt that she had to make a little noise to confirm her sense of existence. When she had finished, she paused and listened intently to the upstairs.
The man smiled helplessly behind her, and didn't respond, taking the scarf and mask he had taken off in one hand, and pulling his wife with the other hand and walking directly upstairs.
The two of them quickly entered the bedroom of the house, which was very clean, and it was estimated that no one had slept until yesterday morning.
The man said, "You should first lay the futon again, and the valuables and passbook must be placed next to the pillow, and remember to wake up some when you go to bed at night." I went downstairs to check the kitchen, turned off everything that needed to be turned off, and finally unplugged the gas card to save me an accident at night. ”
The man was indeed very thoughtful, although the door was locked, but there was no way to lock the back door here. If someone comes in at night to turn on the gas or do something else, they are likely to ignore the past when they fall asleep, so avoid any dangers that can be avoided as much as possible.
Late at night, Mei Xiaoxiao and Yan Muheng squatted at the entrance of the basement, here is the same as what Liu Qiaopu said, sure enough, after the ruins are opened, a large part of the floor below can be opened.
"There's a lock on it, how did you open it? Didn't you say before that only Mr. Housekeeper could go in? Mei Xiaoxiao asked the man who was as tall as the criminal policeman next to him.
Yan Muheng replied: "I don't know, I just picked up the ruins, there is no way to open the lid here, you see there are traces of me prying with the wooden board over there, don't lie to you, I didn't pry it open." ”
"Whew... You're really useless, if it's Xiao Meng, you can at least smash a punch and sew it out. Mei Xiaoxiao unconsciously compared Yan Muheng and Xie Yunmeng, two people of the same size, Xie Yunmeng is like a warrior full of strength, everything will become simple in front of his eyes.
And the person in front of him is like a hollow lantern, he can't even pry open a piece of the floor, and he takes it for granted.
Yan Muheng was also very helpless about this comparison, he said: "Please, your boyfriend Mr. is professionally trained, and I am an ordinary person, don't you think there is no comparison at all?" ”
"Forget it, let's go inside." Mei Xiaoxiao didn't want to be verbose with Yan Muheng, looking at the direction, she jumped down, the height of the basement was not as high as that of an ordinary room, so Mei Xiaoxiao didn't need to use a ladder at all, not to mention that she didn't know who did it, and the ladder that climbed down fell to the ground.
After standing still, the corner of her little eye suddenly shook to an object lying on the ground, she raised her head to look carefully, and in less than a second, the policewoman was stunned, and she didn't even hear Yan Muheng's voice calling her above.
Yan Muheng also felt very strange, the policewoman went down for several minutes, why didn't she straighten the ladder for them. Although Sissy nestled in his arms, he couldn't stay in the cold and biting outdoors for a long time!
Yan Muheng had no choice but to open his mouth again to urge Mei Xiaoxiao.
This time there was finally a reaction, but Xiao Xiao didn't answer, silently straightened the ladder, and then climbed up by himself.
The words were soft, almost suppressed in the throat, but they could still be heard echoing in the rocks. The demon closed its mouth, and its figure quickly disappeared around the next corner. His appearance is completely different from when he is in front of everyone, as if he is a split body.
Everyone in the room is asleep now, including the old detective, the demon originally thought that the second half of the night would be watched very closely, but fortunately, the old detective had a whim, and actually let his grandson watch the second half of the night, which was simply a chance for him to act.
With just a little trick, the young man was obediently attracted to attention, and the demon was able to get out of it, but until a new night came, he would no longer deal with the people in the house, and he would have to wait until midnight for the rest of the day, because the guys who were watching were getting better and better.
Especially the woman who had a heavy makeup on her face before, she didn't expect to be so able to fight, she actually picked up the chef with one move, and almost kicked the bar counter in the restaurant, the demon couldn't believe it.
Originally, having a Xie Yunmeng was troublesome enough, the sneak attack failed, and the planting failed, so his actions after that were much more sluggish.
While approaching the target, the demon thought about countermeasures, and now the form is still beneficial to himself, so the target of the next step is not just to stare at those who are lonely, but also to start with the old man.
That old man seems to be their backbone, to hell with the old man, to see how Mr. Criminal Police and Mr. Actor will react.
Thinking of Mr. Actor, the devil's mood is much better, in the secret passage, the face of the sleeping Mr. Actor is really beautiful, not lost to the little girls in this family at all, and there is a different charm.
If only that guy were a girl, I could definitely let him go." The demon teased inwardly, quickly turning his attention away from Yun Yeyao.
For he was already standing in front of a small dark red high table, which was small and round. There are some simple carved patterns all around, which seem to be very old, and there are many scratches and stains on the table.
The demon simply cleaned the dust from the top and leg rungs, then reached under the table and pulled out a small hidden drawer from under the tabletop, and when the drawer opened, it revealed some paper that looked like it had been torn from a notebook, neatly folded.
"But he's been in bed all the time, hasn't he?" Yan Muheng said: "And the person you arranged in that room has not been broken, how can he act?" ”
"You're pretty clear about what we've got in the house!" Mei Xiaoxiao couldn't help but dump him again, but after seeing Yan Muheng's instantly gloomy face, he didn't say any more, after all, he still needs his cooperation now, and his temper should be restrained a little.
Mei Xiaoxiao is not the kind of person who messes around regardless of the overall situation, and she is willful only to Xie Yunmeng and Zuo Lan.
Taking out the evidence bag he was carrying from his pocket, he put the scab into it, and then began to examine the wounds of the deceased, this time killing him with a knife.
The knife was pierced from behind, and then immediately pulled out, so blood splattered everywhere, and the large rocky walls and ground facing the murderer's direction were not spared, and Xiao Xiao imagined that the murderer must have been covered in blood at that time, at least the front of his face, hair, and upper body could not be avoided.
After looking at the wound, she stood up, looked around at the ground around her and the place where she and Yan Muheng were standing, and said, "This murderer is very cunning, he has not left us any footprints or traces. ”
Yan Muheng was also observing carefully, and while looking for possible clues, the man said: "It stands to reason that the murderer should not be able to hide from such a large amount of blood splattered out." If he had wiped the blood stains stained with fingerprints and footprints afterwards, he should have seen the flaws. ”
"But now there is no trace of blood on the ground, does it mean that the murderer has not wiped his footprints and fingerprints at all?"
"You can think so, but ...... After all, we are not forensic doctors, and there are some things that cannot be decided based on the judgment of the moment. It's better to go back and inform the teacher and Xiaomeng about this matter, and then make plans. ”
Indeed, the small ones are very right, they can't stay here for a long time, and only by letting Liu Qiao Pu and Yun Yeyao come to investigate the scene together can they get more clues. Liuqiaopu has much more experience than them, and now there is no forensic doctor present, and the things that use their brains can only be sent to Liuqiaopu and Yun Yeyao. After all, Mei Xiaoxiao and Xie Yunmeng need to put action first.
Because of the matter of the wooden wall, Yan Muheng's memories were interrupted, and his sad sigh was also in vain. Yan Muheng walked back to Mr. Chef, squatted down, and reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes that had not yet dried for him.
Mr. Chef's eyes were facing the entrance and exit of the basement, where Eternal had left just now, and Yan Muheng said softly, "At the last moment of your life, are you confessing to him?" ”
No one would answer him, the void was accompanied only by the biting cold, and even the sigh seemed to stick between his lips and teeth.
Gently closing Mr. Chef's eyes, Yan Muheng took advantage of the small gap that had not yet returned, and walked in the direction of the underground cave, it was a sloping road, and the entrance was not big, but after entering, the space would slowly expand.
Yan Muheng has passed by here countless times, and it can be said that he is familiar with the way, and he wants to take a look to see if there is any trace left by the murderer. Just now Xiao Xiao was here, and he was not good at acting, because Xiao Xiao didn't know that he knew about the rock cave.
If the murderer had followed Mr. Cook into the basement, there might have been footprints or something, the ground in the rocky cave was damp, and some lichen plants grew all year round.
Yan Muheng carefully searched and checked on the necessary path, and after going back and forth many times, he finally found a small white object in a small puddle, shaped like the tip of a chicken claw bone, and there was black dirt on it.
Yan Muheng wanted to use his nails to remove the black part, but he couldn't get it off at all. He pinched the little object between his index finger and thumb, looked at it closely, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became.
After a moment, he remembered the white bones on the skeleton in the house, wasn't it like a small knuckle bone? Thinking of this, Yan Muheng couldn't help but shudder, could it be that someone got the skeleton here? Who knows about the existence of skeletons other than butlers and cooks? ”
The evidence in the outdoor food warehouse has been cleared by Eternal, and he is protecting someone, who can be sure that it is not Mr. Cook who died in the basement.
Now, when it was close to dawn, no one would enter Aunt Wen's restaurant again, and no one could come out, because the restaurant didn't know when it was all frozen, like a huge block of ice.
And on the front of the huge ice block, there was a corpse with only the head and upper body glued to it, and the front of the head was pressed against the frame under the window, leaving a black blood stain on the glass.
It can be seen that the back of the corpse's head has been smashed open with a blunt object, and the blood and brain plasma are all frozen together, and the protruding part is like a terrifying alien in the movie.
Neither the people living in the restaurant nor the survivors of the treacherous house have yet to find that a single person has been turned into a corpse and frozen here.
No one knows for sure where the body came from, whether it was a man or a woman. How did Aunt Wen's restaurant get frozen in its entirety? We can only hope that after dawn, the detectives and detectives in the house will find some new clues.
When it was dark, Xie Yunmeng finally returned to the inside of the brown tower, he was already very sleepy, a night of investigation did not bring him much gain, if Yun Yeyao or Xiaoxiao were by his side, maybe the situation would be better.
Now that the shadows of the events overlapped in front of his eyes, everything seemed more blurry, the fatigue of his body and brain affected the rhythm of Xie Yunmeng's thinking, and he really needed to rest for a while.
After entering the room where everyone was, Xie Yunmeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, everything in the room was very calm, especially Yun Yeyao, who was already awake, was looking at him, Mr. Criminal Police walked up to the actor, sat beside him and said, "Has Xiaoxiao ever come back?" ”
The reason why the murderers were able to do so much during the day yesterday was because they took advantage of the loopholes that they were not familiar with the house. Yun Yeyao secretly made up his mind that he must protect Xie Yunmeng and everyone. Although he doesn't have the same force value as Xiao Meng, he has a sharp mind, doesn't he?
Yun Yeyao turned his head to Xie Yunmeng and said: "Xiao Meng, I thought about it myself last night, we can't act together next, the teacher and I are in charge of the day, the murderer is difficult to do when everyone is sober, we just need to try our best to get everyone together." Also, during the day, the teacher and I could ask everyone about what they knew. ”
"You and Xiaoxiao are in charge of the night, only you can protect everyone at night, and the teacher and I will tell you about the analysis and reasoning during the day, so that your actions will be twice as effective with half the effort. Yesterday the murderer caught us off guard, and I believe it will not be so easy for him to act today. ”
Xie Yunmeng actually didn't agree with Yun Yeyao's arrangement, he wanted to refute it, the day was not as safe as Yun Yeyao said, at least the space on the second and third floors of the main house had not been found by them, and the secrets of those doors, if the murderer raided from these places, they could still restrain their hands and feet.
Therefore, Xie Yunmeng thinks that at least he and Mei Xiaoxiao should be in charge of one during the day and the other at night, and he can be in charge of the night himself, and he also hopes that Yun Yeyao will act with him.
But Yun Yeyao didn't give the criminal police a chance to refute, he continued to say his thoughts. Gradually, Xie Yunmeng began to understand something, and Yun Yeyao said their action arrangements in front of everyone.
Although the sound is soft, no one can guarantee that the people in the room with ears will not hear it.
In other words, the next action arrangement will be completely different from what Yun Yeyao said now, Xiao Yao's cleverness, Xie Yunmeng has understood it a long time ago, so he began to talk to Yun Yeyao quietly and softly, as if they were carefully arranging how to deal with the murderer next.
And there are two people in the room at the moment, who are indeed pricking up their ears to listen to the conversation between Mr. Criminal Police and Mr. Actor.
These questions, as soon as he closed his eyes, all appeared in Xie Yunmeng's mind, lingering. Maintaining a half-asleep state of thinking, the answers he came up with became more and more vague, and Xie Yunmeng almost gave up and forced himself to fall asleep.
Yun Yeyao had been paying attention to Mr. Criminal Police's reaction, and according to the situation briefly explained by Liuqiao Pu at night, he could also roughly guess what Xie Yunmeng was thinking.
The things that were not clarified last night must be explored one by one, first of all, the secret of the door, and then to find out if there is a second floor of the main house, before the cook had mentioned to him in the entertainment room that there was a warehouse above the main house, Yun Yeyao thought that there were probably some documents hidden there that could prove the identity of the hostess and the housekeeper.
The second is the two homicide cases that Xiao Meng and the teacher faced, the murderer's provocation is very strong, why provoke? First, in order to make the person concerned lose his mind; second, in order to make the survivors suspicious of each other, especially to lose trust in the criminal police; Third, the murderer was too confident, and he dared to blame Xiaomeng and the teacher at the same time, which shows that he thinks that the action is foolproof.
"Okay, since you are so confident, then I am adding fuel to the fire, now Xiao Meng will not realize that that person's situation may be the same as Shu Xue and Man Man, I must let Xiao Meng find out for himself, if I say it now, not only will it not make progress in the case, but it will also lead Xiao Meng astray because of this." ’
Yun Ye Yao thought, in fact, he hoped that there was one person in the room who could break away from everyone and become the one who wandered the murderer's sight. The success of this matter depends on whether the parties have enough courage.
Yun Yeyao took advantage of Xie Yunmeng's closed eyes to recuperate, stood up, and walked to Xixi's side, the little girl lost her warm embrace, and now her whole body was curled up in the futon, like a wounded little beast.
Yun Yeyao whispered to Xixi: "We need your help, for the people you love, I want you to tell the people in bed some things you know, okay?" ”
He ...... I knew ......" Sissy's voice was barely audible, and there were sobs mixed with staccato words.
Everyone in the room was paying attention to Yun Yeyao's movements, who were the ones with evil thoughts in their hearts, maybe only Yun Yeyao could guess a clue at this moment.
The place where the helper disappeared was a place where everyone could go, and when he left, it was when there were no witnesses in the room in front of him.
The man found the right direction, but he couldn't think of the right answer, and the only thing reserved for him was fear, so he didn't dare to act anymore, so he could only sit there and think to himself, how to get out of the current predicament.
Sissy's trust is now the most important thing for him. The man knew exactly who was in the group who was ruining their love, because he overheard a conversation between Sissy and someone when he had just woken up.
Just like the incident on the periphery, the man was mistaken for the murderer even though he had done nothing. Now, he still hasn't done anything, and he will also suffer from the suspicion of Sissy and the mysterious man.
Why did the man who spoke to Sissy blame him for the murder? The man couldn't figure it out, he felt that he wasn't familiar with such a person, and he couldn't figure out who the voice was coming from in this treacherous house.
Now, the angry voice unconsciously came out of his mouth, but at the same time it was accompanied by a feeling of regret, so when Mr. Actor turned back to him, the man flinched.
Angry, he lost his mind, but the murder made his reason tremble again, and he stopped talking, allowing the actor who walked in front of him to look directly into his pupils.
There is a pretended stubbornness and fear that cannot be concealed, and the man believes that the person in front of him may be able to feel it.
'Perhaps he had guessed more truth than anyone else't, but I could not avoid his gaze......' The man cheered himself up in his heart, desperately trying to contain the uneasiness and fear that welled up in his heart.
——
The woman who has been maintaining the same movements actually knows that the person she is guarding has just left her side. But she didn't want to imagine that this person had done something bad.
A woman prefers to believe that the person she is guarding is a good person with integrity and kindness.
She's still so young, and I know her temperament so well, that for a while, she won't do anything out of the ordinary. Continuing to defend the person she cared about, the woman slept for a while in a daze.
In fact, the people around me have been away for a long time. It was only another person who took her place, so the woman felt that she had not been gone for long.
Liu Hang's action may be an opportunity, but Yun Yeyao is actually testing Xixi's courage, if this matter wants to blind the suspect, Xixi must be able to persevere.
Of course, Yun Yeyao also considered Xixi's actual ability to bear it, but there should be another helper in this matter, which is one of the reasons why Yun Yeyao decided to implement the plan.
——
When Qin Sen woke up from his sleep, he noticed that the condition of someone around him was very wrong. Although this person was not lying with him, Qin Sen's gaze was on this person's face.
The brain that had just woken up couldn't concentrate on thinking, and his vision was blurry, Qin Sen rubbed his eyes several times in a row before he finally confirmed his judgment, the person in front of him had no blood on his face at all, his lips were slightly open, and he looked so old and helpless curled up among the little girls.
Qin Sen hurriedly got up from the ground, the floor where he was lying was covered by the futon, and he couldn't see the bottom clearly. Qin Sen felt that his whole body was about to fall, and the process of getting up was also very difficult.
When he managed to pull his feet out from under the heavy heat, the person watching in his pupils suddenly moved slightly.
Qin Sen felt a burst of panic, he could now be said to be a soldier of all plants, and any slight movement could make him suddenly frightened.
Touching his pounding heart with his hand, Qin Sen stayed in place for a while, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and then slowly crawled towards the person he was watching.
He didn't want to wake anyone up, because if it was really like what he imagined, there was something going on in front of him, or if he was not in good health. There is a risk that people will suspect that they have done something by themselves.
While looking around and continuing to move towards the target, Qin Sen's eyes were full of vigilance. His fingers finally touched the wrinkled skin, but he shrank slightly.
Qin Sen was really not used to this kind of ravine, rough touch, most of the things he had touched before were soft skin, because he often lingered among beautiful little girls.
