Everyone's actions and thoughts are gradually affected by the murder, even the little girls, who are more timid, and dare not move even if they find anything.

Among all the girls, only Wen Manman is an exception, she has already told the bond between herself and Shu Xue, and also admitted that Ms. Wen is her mother, but her mother's attitude makes her extremely sad.

Although the brain fell asleep from fatigue, the nightmares of the past never departed, and the gray brain cells squeezed against each other, hovering between the desire to rest and the tense nerves.

Finally slept until dawn, Wen Manman was woken up by the cold floor, and the air conditioning in the room seemed to be getting weaker and weaker.

Because she leaned on Mr. Actor's arms when she fell asleep, Wen Manman did not cover the futon, and now she was cold all over, coupled with the uncomfortable feeling of just waking up, she ignored the eyes of the people around her.

It wasn't until he heard Yun Yeyao's words to defend him that Wen Manman finally reacted, silently moved his body to the corner and sat down, waiting for the time to act with everyone.

Wen Manman heard the conversation between Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng, she didn't deliberately want to eavesdrop, and she also knew that Mr. Actor was discussing the next plan of action with Mr. Criminal Police, so she kept her voice so low.

But who made her sit on the side and have to hear it? Weymanman also wanted to move his position. But looking at the puzzled glances cast by everyone, she gave up on the idea.

'Forget it! If you move it around, you will be suspected that there is no silver three hundred taels here, so I try not to care about it. Gently closing his eyes, Wen Manman pretended to want to sleep, and no longer paid attention to the words and eyes of the people around him.

Unfortunately, the instant response was avoidance and fear. Liu Hang also felt very strange because of this, although he didn't ask, the doubts in his eyes were no less than those on the bed.

Sissy was adamantly reluctant to be with her companions, preferring to stay on the other end of the room, with the other survivors. When the whole body curled up in the bed, Sissy's mood finally stabilized.

Mei Xiaoxiao still remembered the corpse outside in her heart, and she didn't want to influence Xixi's thoughts, so after letting go of Xixi, she gently cared for Sister Wang's ear, woke up Liu Qiaopu, and pulled the confused old man outside the room.

When the old man heard that the murder had happened again, of course he came to his senses at once, and he and the two of them quickly left the brown tower.

At this moment, Yun Yeyao and Liu Hang were left in the room to guard, and the sky had just dawned, and Xie Yunmeng would have some time before he turned around.

In the hours before Mr. Detective returned, except for one time when Mei Xiaoxiao came back, nothing special happened, at least most of the parties thought so. Among them are two people who protect everyone.

——

Before dawn, the cook and mother-in-law had been very uncomfortable. She felt a throbbing pain in her heart and stomach. Her health has never been very good, and for so many years, if it weren't for the care of Mr. Housekeeper, the cook really didn't know if she would have lived to this age.

Now, Mr. Butler is dead, it is a great blow to the cook, she has no way to undo it, when she sees her familiar relatives leave this world, the cook feels that her heart is also frozen with him.

His hands were tightly covering his chest, his fingers were unconsciously clenching the bedding and clothes together, and the temperature of his palms was completely different from the sensation coming from his body.

My body was as cold as if I had fallen into an ice cellar, and my palms were constantly sweating, wet and sticky, and very uncomfortable.

At present, there is no forensic doctor in this house, and there are no medical personnel who can make a preliminary judgment on the condition of the corpse, so the corpse can only be judged and examined by several criminal police officers in turn.

Liu Qiaopu has much more experience than Xie Yunmeng and Mei Xiaoxiao, at least in his decades of criminal police career, there are not a few forensic doctors who have cooperated with him to solve cases. Now, he mustered himself together and rushed to the basement of the ruins with Mei Xiaoxiao.

Of course, they took the secret passage inside the house, which used to save a lot of time compared to the outside, and it was also convenient for Liu Qiao Pu to familiarize himself with the route of the rock cave.

When the two of them arrived in the basement, it was already seven o'clock in the morning on December 31, and Mei Xiaoxiao was also tired for a day and a night, and had not rested properly.

Stopped, Liu Qiaopu said to Mei Xiao: "Xiaoxiao, we can already see the entrance to the basement, or you go back to Xiaomeng to sleep for a while, if you go on like this, you will not be able to bear it." ”

"But, teacher, I'm worried that Yan Muheng will be unfavorable to you, and we have no way of determining which side he is on right now. The previous investigation was incomplete at all, and it was me and Xiaomeng who were careless. ”

"It doesn't matter, even if he is the murderer, he will not do anything to me, otherwise, the murderer did yesterday would be superfluous. Didn't he frame me and Xiaomeng just to hide his identity? You can go back with confidence, wait for the clues, and I'll bring that kid back with me. ”

Liu Qiao Pu said very easily, he didn't want to worry too much about himself, the policewoman needed to rest well and keep her brain clear.

Waiting for Mei Xiaoxiao to nod in agreement, Liu Qiaopu walked a few steps in the direction of the basement, he did not go in directly, but took a look inside the basement, and after making sure that no one was lying on the edge of the wooden board to listen to their words, he returned to Mei Xiaoxiao's side and whispered: "You go back first, go to the room where Xiao Yao fell asleep just now, and then ......"

Liu Qiaopu climbed the escalator to get close to the ground of the ruins of the side house, and shouted loudly upward: "Is the person above Xiao Heng?" ”

In an instant, only the abrupt sound of a halt and a small exclamation of a person were heard from the ruins, and then there was a pause for a few minutes, and the old man did not urge him, but returned to the bottom of the escalator and waited.

——

Yan Muheng was indeed standing on top of the ruins of the side house, and he didn't know how long he had been wandering here, and the small phalanx he had just gotten in the cave in the rock was still lying quietly in his pocket at the moment.

Don't know what you've just thought? Yan Muheng only felt that when he heard Liu Qiaopu's shout, his mind was blank, and he only remembered the name 'Eternal'.

Maybe I've been thinking about Eternal just now, but how could it be so long?' Yan Muheng thought and stretched out his hands that were red from cold.

These hands were completely numb because they were ignored in the wind and snow, Yan Muheng tried to move his fingers, and immediately there was a tingling pain in his nerves.

Both feet were no exception, and a thin layer of frost was evident on the surface, and white snowflakes seemed to have entered the down jacket. This kind of freezing that penetrated deep into the bone marrow reminded Yan Muheng that he had been wandering in the ruins for a long time.

Cover your forehead with your cold hand to stimulate your brain nerves. Yan Muheng couldn't stay here anymore and waste time.

'What reason am I going to give for this?' Yan Muheng felt that it was difficult for him to explain clearly, why he was wandering in the ruins? Instead of guarding the corpse. No matter what, the old man will definitely increase his suspicions about him.

Let's go down first. Putting aside the annoying thoughts, Yan Muheng moved his frozen hands and feet a few times, and after his hands and feet could move freely, his figure quickly disappeared into the ruins.

"When Xiaoxiao found you, did all the makeup on your face be removed?" Xie Yunmeng suddenly interjected. Wen Manman didn't understand why he asked that, so he closed his mouth and looked at Mr. Detective.

Xie Yunmeng opened his somewhat misty eyes, first glanced at Yun Yeyao beside him, and then stretched out an arm to hook the back of Mr. Actor's neck, and said, "You haven't fallen asleep all night, don't think I can't see it, just lean on if you want, it's better than leaning against the wall." With that, he forcibly pressed his head on his shoulder.

Yun Yeyao didn't express any opinion on Mr. Interpol's rare willfulness, and calmly accepted his kindness. However, Wen Manman looked at the two of them for a long time, completely forgetting the problem of the yin and yang weirdness of Mr. Criminal Police just now.

——

The flaws that the girl unintentionally revealed made the people in front of her even more suspicious of her. The girl herself was completely unaware of it, and perhaps, she just said it in passing, and did not intend to hide anything.

Maybe the man sitting there was suspicious, but no matter what, the story of this girl is something they have to explore clearly, not just listen to herself, but also investigate and analyze it carefully.

——

Yun Yeyao's eyes turned to the cook's mother-in-law, who had not yet woken up, and could see that the mother-in-law's body was slightly undulating because of her breathing, and he said to Wen Manman: "Please wake up your mother-in-law, and the men will come back later." ”

"Okay." Wen Manman answered, and after a few moments, the cook opened her eyes at her call, and the old man's pupils were cloudy, and it looked as if there were tears.

Wen Manman asked his mother-in-law softly, "Did you dream of something sad?" ”

There was no immediate response, indicating that the cook's mother-in-law's brain had not yet sobered up, and after a few minutes, she asked Wen Manman with a blank face: "What did you just say?" ”

"I say, did you dream of something sad?"

"No, it's just that the old woman's heart is not good, and she is uncomfortable for a night." The cook answered truthfully, and then sat up with the help of Wen Manman.

But on what basis? Is that all I said about it? ”

"Of course it can't be that simple, first of all, this corpse hasn't started to swell yet, you see his face, and his hands, are still the same as before, and his beard is not pasted. So we can be sure that his appearance is exactly the same as that of Mr. Butler. ”

"Secondly, it wasn't just me on the day of the avalanche, Xiaoxiao, Xiaoyun and Xiaomeng all noticed the chef, and there was indeed a certain difference from Mr. Butler, but when Xiaoxiao saw the chef for the first time in the secret passage, he immediately mistook him for Mr. Butler."

"Even if the chef does resemble the butler, with a fake beard, according to my impression, it is impossible to mistake the two at a glance."

"But isn't that corpse in the snow also identified as Mr. Butler?"

"That corpse is different, he has been dead for a while, at that time, the corpse that Xiao Meng and I saw, not only was it completely frozen, but also the characteristics of obesity were very obvious, coupled with a large amount of blood stains on the snow, our first impression must be that the housekeeper was assassinated in the snow, and after the assassination, the horror was placed on the housekeeper and framed for her."

"But then we examined the butler's body repeatedly, and although we couldn't be sure, we suspected that the butler might have been dead for some time before he was thrown into the snow. As long as the murderer grasps the movements of the horror and the cook, and leans the already swollen and stiff body of the cook against the damaged guardrail of the overpass,"

Then he hid in the dark and observed, we were all downstairs at the time, Lu Haoyu and Qiao Keli were sleeping in their rooms, and there was no one in the corridor of the brown tower, and it was impossible for the murderer to be found there. Moreover, before the homicide occurred, everyone's vigilance was not very high. ”

"Because the body was stiff and the face was swollen, it was difficult to tell if it was frozen in the snow. Terror stumbled upon the 'butler' leaning on the overpass, and it was possible that Mr. Butler ignored her, so he gently pushed his body, and the guardrail was already crumbling by this time. ”

"In the middle of the night, someone sneaked in someone else's shoes at the entrance and killed the cook. You think, the people in the room were all wearing slippers, and these two footprints were obviously left by the man's leather shoes. When the murderer is in action, he can go to the door and put on someone else's shoes first, and then sneak into the basement of the ruins to kill people. ”

As for the route he chose, it was supposed to be through the secret passages and rocky caves in the house. First, the house was full of wooden floors, and if you wiped the soles of your shoes, you wouldn't be able to leave footprints. Second, if he walked around the ruins from the outside, not only would it take a long time to clean up the footprints, but after entering the basement, the snowflakes on his clothes would melt and drip to the ground to form water stains. ”

"You may still not understand when I say this, but if you look closely at the footprints in front of you, what are the characteristics?" Liu Qiaopu said, pointing to the footprints under the corpse.

Yan Muheng looked at it carefully for more than ten seconds before he raised his head and said, "The whole soles of the murderer's feet are damp, and there is still a little green scrap sticking to the ground, and there are ...... There were no dripping water stains around the footprints. ”

"Yes, the observation is very in place," Liu Qiaopu praised Yan Muheng lukewarmly, and then said: "If the murderer walks from the periphery, the water stains cannot all be on the soles of his feet, after the snowflakes on his body melt, they will more or less drip around the footprints, and the snow layer outside is so thick, how can the soles of the murderer's feet still stick to green plant scraps?" ”

"It's easy to explain by walking from the inside, as long as you make sure that when you're in the house, you don't leave footprints on the soles of your shoes. Once you enter a cave in the rock, the soles of your shoes will quickly become muddy and wet, and some lichen chips will stick to you. But you can't get wet unless you lean against a wall like a sail or crouch on the ground. ”

So there are no dripping water stains around the footprints, just like what you see. Also, the murder weapon was obviously pierced from behind, why did the murderer's footprints appear in front of the chef? First of all, according to the location of the footprints, the murderer was very close to Mr. Cook at that time, and at this distance, it was not impossible for him to go around his hand and stab the chef in the back. ”

"Secondly, the murderer must have been talking to the chef at the time to get his attention in order to succeed. So the guess that can be drawn so far is that as soon as the chef entered the basement, he saw a person he was familiar with, unsuspecting, stabbed to death in the back by someone close to him. ”

"Was I with you at the time?" Yaya asked.

"No, you came to me five months later, I don't know who sent you here, and that morning I heard a cry at the door, and found you, along with a letter, placed at my door. The handwriting on the letter is exactly the same as that of the dead Yu Cha. The letter said that your parents died in an accident, so please let me take you in and raise you, and at first I didn't believe such a ridiculous thing. ”

"I thought it was your parents who cruelly abandoned you, because I knew that their living conditions were very poor at that time, but when I went around and investigated, I found out that what the letter said was actually the truth, and that there was really such a cruel thing in the world? In just half a year, you lost your grandfather and parents in a row. That's why I'm naming you after myself, which means reminding myself to love you like my granddaughter and give you a happy life for the rest of your life. ”

"I've been reluctant to tell you about the past, just because I'm afraid that you will be sad and leave a psychological shadow." When Tang Meiya said this, she was already in tears, her eyes were full of love for Yaya, which is a true relative's feelings.

This kind of look moved Yaya, and she unconsciously got into her grandmother's arms and said, "No matter what? I think you're my real grandmother, and that won't change for the rest of my life! As if she was confessing to her heart, Yaya said in a very low voice.

After a while, she calmed down a little, and remembered what Liu Qiaopu said again, raised her head and asked Tang Meiya: "Grandma, but what does what you said in the past have to do with the case that Grandpa Liu said?" ”

"The relationship is less than the body."

Tang Meiya said something that Yaya couldn't understand, and she asked, "Less than?" Who is less than? "Yaya hadn't heard the name of Xiao, but we knew that Xiaoxiao and Shu Xue, Xiao Heng and Horror were all characters mentioned at the beginning of the Treacherous House incident, and no one had noticed the overlap of their identities so far.

At this point, Tang Meiya and Yaya's conversation needs to come to an end, because they heard Yun Yeyao's loud voice in the restaurant, Tang Meiya knows very well that Liu Qiaopu has 'had an accident', and she must take Yaya to act.

There was no response, but the shadow stayed in a place where it was out of sight, as if it was luring Yan Muheng to chase after him.

Yan Muheng's feet let go of all hesitation, and the moment before stepping into the quagmire, the man's eyes were full of lost shadows, completely unaware of the danger he was about to face.

——

The body slowly rises from the ground. The strength seemed to return in an instant, and the man named Eternal smiled again, and he was victorious again, in that dark place.

No one will pay attention to what Yan Muheng has done? And no one will be aware of his presence, everything is safe because of the protection of the stupid, and also because of the endless control.

'Yan Muheng, you will never know what happened to you! And I will punish the people in this house for eternity, and the sins of the past can never be hidden in the depths of memory! ”

The man thought as he moved his hands and feet. He finally made a shot once, and he definitely couldn't waste it.

Walking out from a much warmer place than outside, the man was going to leave here first, and then enter from another place, and by the way, see how the bureau he had arranged just now was going.

He couldn't find a part of his memory, and that part would disappear with the person who entered the dark forest, but the man didn't care, as long as he could get out.

Five fingers opened and grabbed the doorknob and pulled hard, and the man was surprised to find that the doorknob could not be twisted, which undermined his confidence.

'Why is the door locked from the outside?' Did someone follow me just now? ’

The man sensed a hint of danger, so he immediately gave up his plan to go out through the gate, but turned around and began to brew feelings, and after a while, a panicked and frightened expression slowly crept up on the man's face, and his whole person looked tired again.

——

The Eternal Heart in the Treacherous House is a person, but it is impossible to guess whether he is Yan Muheng, Eternal, or Younger, among the three people, only Yan Muheng is the one who exists in front of us, but what is his purpose?

Yan Muheng said that he wanted to get back his past love, and he saw a person in the treacherous house who was very similar to the one in his memory, did he mean Yun Yeyao? Could it be that it was Yan Muheng who attacked Yun Yeyao. But we can't find a reasonable time for Yan Muheng to act.

The proprietress motioned to her husband to hurry up and open the box and take the clothes out. Within a few minutes, the proprietress let go of Sissy's body, helped her put on her coat, and then walked downstairs with the little girl wrapped like a ball.

The proprietress asked, "Sissy, what the hell is going on?" Why would you be abandoned at the back door of a restaurant? ”

"I don't know...... It was as if he had saved me, and he didn't want me to stay in a place where the murderer was there, so he pushed me into the snow...... I also misunderstood that he was trying to kill me......"

"And then, Sissy?"

"Then he picked me up from behind and took me to the back door of the restaurant before leaving, and I saw him smash the ice off the back door of the restaurant."

Sissy's words made the proprietress feel that something seemed wrong, and she kept an eye on the little girl's feet to prevent her from falling. While continuing to ask, "Where were you pushed out of the treacherous house by him?" ”

“…… I didn't see it clearly, it seemed to be the window in the bathroom, and the glass of that window was broken. ”

"Then when did he get you up from the window?"

"It didn't take long for him to be behind my back...... Before I could stand up, he came. Sissy replied, her face confused, as if she wasn't so sure of every question she answered.

And the proprietress was much more sober than she was, and the proprietress sent Sissi downstairs to sit on the sofa, and at this time, the proprietress came downstairs with a clean blanket and walked up to them, and the proprietress immediately covered the little girl with the blanket.

"Sissy, you can't run around, Mr. Detective takes care of us to protect you, from now on, if it weren't for the detectives coming to you, you would have to be with the two of us all the time, you know?" The boss tried his best to say to Sissy in a calm tone.

The little girl nodded obediently, and shrunk the whole person into a wide blanket, the downstairs was indeed as cold as the grocery store owner and his wife said, and the air conditioner seemed to be competing with them, but they didn't want to start it.

Rubbing his cold hands, the boss was ready to 'fight' with the air conditioner for a while, and he didn't have anything else to do anyway.

But the proprietress pulled him into the kitchen, where the freshly fried food was already cold, the proprietress turned on the gas stove switch, and whispered to her husband by covering up the sound of stir-frying: "Something is wrong!" Do you hear that? ”

As soon as the grocery store owner's hand touched Sissy's shoulder, it was as if he had touched a button switch, and the little girl's body instantly fell back and fell into his arms, which made him no longer have time to think about what Sisy saw. Immediately called out to his wife in the kitchen.

When the proprietress heard the sound and rushed out of the kitchen, she saw her husband hugging Xixi, and the two of them were standing by the window, not knowing what they were doing? The proprietress thought for a moment that her husband had done something bad? rushed up and pulled Xixi over, and was about to scold the boss angrily.

But I didn't expect that because the little girl's body was too close to the window, after being pulled vigorously by the proprietress , the blanket suddenly hooked the metal handle on the window frame, and lifted the handle, although the window could not be opened, but due to the vibration, the glass on the window suddenly fell inward, and it was also connected with the thick ice outside.

From the front, it looks like four thickened cracks appeared on the window frame, and many broken and sharp Xiaoice pieces fell on the floor in front of the window like glass slag, fortunately, the boss lady reacted quickly and quickly pulled Xixi into her arms, otherwise the little girl's feet were likely to be scratched by these broken ice slags.

The sound of glass shattering did not wake up Sissy's senses, it was obvious that the little girl had been overly frightened, she leaned on the arms of the grocery store proprietress like dead ashes, her pupils looked straight ahead, people did not feel a trace of anger, only the trembling of her hands and feet reminded others that she was still alive.

Cissy is indeed alive, but the head that poked into the room with the ice has been reporting to the underworld for a long time! The proprietress was temporarily blocked from sight by Sissy, but the grocery store owner standing next to the two of them could see clearly, and his mind was blank at the moment.

I don't know how I should act anymore, my hands and feet have lost their senses, and they stay in place as heavy as a wood carving, and the corpse in front of me, no, more accurately, should be the head in front of me, which is basically the same as the head of a monster.

The neck twisted unnaturally, stuck on the window frame, and the ice stretched the broken cervical vertebrae. At the end of the neck, there are no attached shoulders at all, only the slender bluish-black flesh hanging there.

The glass and ice slid inward, revealing the corpse's skull in its entirety in front of the eyes of the people in the room, and the indescribable fear not to mention a little girl like Sissy, even a man would be scared silly.

But no one here saw the awakened Yan Muheng really leave the food warehouse, it was just that the mysterious man felt that he had left. Is the food warehouse empty? No one has been confirmed since.

The mysterious man smashed open the ice at the back door of the restaurant and immediately headed in the direction of the treacherous house, regardless of his purpose? He was inadvertently discovered by Xie Yunmeng, who sent Xixi out and followed, and the criminal police clearly saw him entering through the gate of the treacherous house.

So Mr. Detective locked the door of the house from the outside (the key to the house had already been obtained from the survivors. Then he entered the tower through the secret passage and made peace with Minami, and then went down from the brown tower to the door of the study.

From locking the door to entering the study, Xie Yunmeng's series of actions took more than ten minutes at most.

Let's look at Yan Muheng's actions again, assuming that he was indeed knocked unconscious in the food warehouse, and after the person who knocked him unconscious left, he sneaked back to the inside of the treacherous house in order to save his life. If the above assumptions are true, then what Xie Yunmeng sees must be the suspect who stunned Yan Muheng.

In other words, the time when Yan Muheng left the food warehouse was before Xie Yunmeng sent Xixi into the restaurant, and the two of them had a high chance of meeting each other halfway, but listening to Xie Yunmeng's tone, he didn't meet anyone at all before he arrived at the restaurant.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if it was because the wind and snow were too big, so Mr. Criminal Police and Yan Muheng didn't see each other passing by, then Yan Muheng should be the first person to return to the treacherous house.

From the previous episode, we can know that Yan Muheng entered the treacherous house and was not attacked again, he fainted on the corridor outside the living room because of fatigue, indicating that Yan Muheng also entered through the main entrance of the treacherous house.

So could it be that the mysterious person who entered later saw Yan Muheng in a coma and wanted to kill him again? But after the injured Yan Muheng entered the study to hide, why didn't he say who attacked him? Looking at Yan Muheng's appearance, it is possible that he fought with the murderer, maybe in the process of fighting, he clearly saw the appearance of the murderer, what is the reason that prevents him from telling the truth?

The above is the first guess of Yan Muheng's operation.

Next, let's look at the second guess, assuming that Yan Muheng was not knocked unconscious, he himself pretended to pass out in the food warehouse in order to avoid someone's sight, and when it was safe, it was he who smashed the ice open at the back door of the restaurant.

"Officer Xie, the restaurant... There's an accident at the restaurant, hurry up! There is danger! ”

Yan Muheng didn't seem to know that Xie Yunmeng had already been to the restaurant, and he didn't know that Xixi had entered the restaurant, and what he said was dangerous was that the restaurant had frozen inexplicably.

But when the words reached the ears of Mr. Criminal Police, it became a different meaning, because Xie Yunmeng had just sent Xixi there, so Yan Muheng said that the restaurant was in danger now, and Xie Yunmeng immediately thought that the people in the restaurant had been attacked.

So it doesn't matter if the injured man is telling the truth or not? Xie Yunmeng had to go to confirm in order to feel at ease, he took care of Tang Meiya's ancestors and grandsons not to act first, pay attention to safety, and immediately left the door when he came, and entered the ice and snow again.

It was precisely because of Yan Muheng's reminder that Xie Yunmeng was able to rush to the restaurant in time, and of course, the back door that was smashed open also provided convenience for him.

Now, Mr. Criminal Police had found the body outside the window, and although he did not expect this situation, it was impossible for him to panic with fright, and after settling the three people who were scared stupidly, he began to study the deceased carefully.

The corpses looked dead for a long time, and judging by the level of decomposition, it was absolutely impossible for them to be killed after they reached the treacherous house.

And no matter who froze it outside the house, Xie Yunmeng thought of a question that he hadn't thought of before, why was this corpse here? Perhaps one of the eighteen people who entered the treacherous house had already been killed in advance.

The killer temporarily buried the body in the snow, and then followed them into the treacherous house as the deceased, and only dug out the body last night and froze with the house.

Why freeze a restaurant? What is the significance of the point in time when the corpse is dug out? Xie Yunmeng couldn't think clearly, he looked at the roof of this house, and said to the grocery store owner and his wife: "You look at Xixi, I'll go to this top and take a look, maybe there are some things on it?" ”

Xie Yunmeng meant that he was going to go to the roof outside to take a look, and he did it because of the way the outside of the house was frozen, and almost the entire house was covered with ice, which meant that the water must have been sprayed down from the center of the roof. Only in this way can the entire house be evenly frozen.

There must have been some kind of pre-installed sprinkler on the roof, and Ms. Wen's restaurant was on the side of the mountain road, far from the treacherous house. There were no traces of dragging water pipes in the snow either. Even if the murderer covered up the traces, according to common sense, it is impossible to have such a long water pipe.

The mood that had finally stabilized gradually began to flood again, and the girl who was not very beautiful felt as if something was stirring in her body, and it was her innate bloodline that was at work. But she didn't realize how terrible this bloodline she had!!

The nerves twitched, then began to sting, then spread throughout her mind, and the girl closed her frightened eyes as she tried to alleviate the situation on her own. Because countless times before, she was controlled by herself.

When she was very young, the girl thought it was a migraine she was born with, and her family around her said the same, especially the somewhat neurotic woman who was constantly around her and needed her care, always saying that the migraine would get better soon.

The girl believed what those around her said, just as she believed that she came from some unknown family and was not related to anyone in the place.

However, in this kind of thinking, Shu Xue is a special existence, and occasionally, the name Shu Xue will be spat out from the mouths of those around her, but it will soon be drowned in their embarrassing explanations. Anyway, since childhood, no one has ever mentioned Shu Xue positively in front of the girl, who is she?

At first, she thought that Xiao Xiao and Shu Xue were once a couple, and now they were living in some unknown place, maybe on the floor of the treacherous house that she hadn't been to.

Later, the cook's son Xiao Heng gradually overlapped with Xiaoheng, although the girl liked Xiao Heng very much, but she had to wonder what he had to do with the people in the past? It's an intuition, an intuition about the people you love, and you can't explain why. But the girl never said it.

It can be said that everything is hidden in a hazy smoke, especially when she has a headache, and the girl feels as if she is about to fall into eternal darkness lately, and the feeling of being stuck in a swamp and unable to extricate herself is impressive.

Today, the headache seems to be a little unforgiving, the girl has not been able to control it for a long time, she is suffering by herself, and her consciousness is gradually blurred.

The curtain of the dark forest slowly opened, and the girl stepped into it for the first time, she did not dare to move her steps easily, all the gray brain cells were in a state of tension, and her eyes trembled to reach the shadows in the distance, where there was a figure she did not recognize.

'Who are you?' Why is it in my dreams? The girl whispered, but the voice that came out of her lips and teeth was amplified countless times, making her unconsciously cover her mouth.

"What about Miss? Will she still come over? ”

"Yes, she'll come and take you back herself."

"That's good." The grocery store owner was visibly relieved.

Xie Yunmeng continued: "Thank you for all this, and I apologize to you for our inconsiderate consideration. ”

The grocery store owner turned around and waved his hand, and walked into the room without saying anything, his back looking tired, maybe because of the fright just now!

Xie Yunmeng didn't go downstairs to dispose of the body until he heard the sound of the door locking in the house.

Maybe it was a pre-arranged plan for the grocery store owner to live in the restaurant. Xie Yunmeng sent Xixi over because someone's crime was seen through by Yun Yeyao. But the appearance of the corpse outside the window surprised everyone.

That's why Xie Yunmeng apologized to the grocery store owner. The sudden sight of a corpse is unbearable for anyone to bear the shock, let alone a corpse that is rotting like a demon. It is indeed the result of the carelessness of the criminal police.

The incident has developed to the present, I don't know if you have seen some clues from the behavior of some people, the murderer has gradually surfaced, and some people are also changing their identities little by little, and the person who has the mystery of Anze's dream in the past is coming to everyone's eyes from the shadows.

On the morning of December 31, the study of the treacherous house owner's house

Yan Muheng's condition is currently quite stable, although he has suffered a lot of injuries, but his consciousness is clear, and his mental state is also good.

He seems to have lost the memory of when he was injured, no matter how Tang Meiya talked to him, he just couldn't ask about the specific plot, but fortunately, Tang Meiya was a patient old woman, and she was not in a hurry to ask for details.

However, Yan Muheng himself showed a look of annoyance, he tried to think about what happened just now, but he couldn't think of anything, but his mind began to ache faintly.

He lowered his head and rubbed the throbbing nerves on his temples with his hands, Tang Meiya said on the side: "Mr. Yan, it's okay, if you can't remember, just rest for a while, Officer Xie will be back soon." ”

Tang Meiya believed that there must be a hidden button that Yan Muheng said, otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for the owner of the house to design the small square table like this, and she waited for Yan Muheng to come up with a way.

Yan Muheng squatted down and reached out to touch the floor, but his hand trembled as soon as he raised it a little, and the pain made him stop moving, looking at his wound that was still bleeding, Yan Muheng had no choice but to replace it with his left hand, which was not very flexible.

The bleeding right hand hindered his movement a lot, and Yan Muheng asked Tang Meiya: "Grandma Tang, do you have something like a handkerchief on you?" Can you help me bandage it first? ”

"I didn't bring a handkerchief," Tang Meiya saw the decorative lace on her granddaughter's cotton vest as she spoke, which should also be cotton, and she said, "Yaya, your lace should be able to be removed!" ”

"Oh, this one is button-stitched and can be removed."

"Okay, don't move!" Tang Meiya took off the entire lace with her hands, and then began to bite off the button threads attached to the lace one by one, Yaya looked at her curiously and said, "Grandma, do you want me to help?" ”

"No need, grandma will be fine soon, you stay on the side and don't run around."

Soon, Tang Meiya took off all the buttons, and then said to Yan Muheng: "Mr. Yan, there is only this thing now, you bear with it, and I will bandage it for you." ”

"Okay, I'm in trouble." Yan Muheng wanted to stretch out his right hand again, but his right hand didn't listen to him at all, and he couldn't stop trembling.

Tang Meiya took a closer look at the wound on his hand, and said with some consternation: "Mr. Yan, the wound on the back of your hand is okay, but your wrist seems to have hurt blood vessels and nerves, no wonder it will affect your movements, if you don't treat it in time, it will be very troublesome!" ”

"Grandma Tang, hurry up and bandage it, there is no treatment now, if the hand is wasted, it will be wasted, as long as the life is there."

"Alas!" Regarding Yan Muheng's words, Tang Meiya couldn't say any words of comfort except sighing. She hurried to bandage Yan Muheng's right hand, and then said, "Mr. Yan, you come, I'll look for it, this will be faster, Yaya, you pay attention to whether Officer Xie is back." ”

Touching these marks again, Xie Yunmeng breathed a sigh of relief, he could be sure that no one had been there during the time he had left.

It seems that Yun Yeyao and Yanagihashi Pu have trapped everyone in the house. Xie Yunmeng hurried up to act, and now he wanted to put the safety of Tang Meiya's ancestors and grandchildren first.

——

So what will the murderer in the house think now? The murderer's attention must have been focused on the attack on the old detective. To put it simply, there are only two possibilities for an unplanned attack by the killer, the first being hitchhiking. The second is to make a show for the real murderer.

But there is one thing that makes it impossible for the murderer to choose the second idea, and that is the action of Sisi's abandonment. The man who pushed Cissy into the snow was not the murderer of the whole thing, he was just a little ghost who wanted to cover up one of his crimes.

Xie Yunmeng and Yun Yeyao both thought so, because in their inference, this person could not have attacked Mr. Butler in the first place, and he did not have time to complete the murder in the brown tower, and lured this person to make a move, just to divert the attention of the real murderer.

If the real murderer hides among the survivors, he will definitely pay attention to all the unusual things around him. Cissy was pushed into the snow, which was tantamount to being killed. Because if no one finds and rescues, in this kind of blizzard, an injured little girl will soon freeze to death, then the real murderer will think that the person who murdered Xixi also attacked Liuqiao Pu, that is, he was hitchhiking and killing.

We can call the person who plots Sissi's murder the second murderer, and the previous murderer the first murderer.

Since the second murderer wants to frame him for a serial murder that has nothing to do with him, the first murderer can completely do the opposite and in turn blame his own crime on the second murderer. Therefore, as long as the criminal police keep an eye on the person behind, they can catch the fox tail of the person in front!

This is also the truth that there must be a mistake in the 100 secrets, no one can say that the plan they come up with is perfect, as long as there is a little gap to follow, the really smart people will find the flaw, and finally collapse the crisis.

Indeed, if the table was broken directly, the table legs would definitely break before the lock under the floor, but Xie Yunmeng was very careful in the direction of exerting force, so that the table legs could move sideways along the grooves as much as possible.

The 'click' sound continued, and the small wooden table, which was still motionless just now, actually began to move little by little, and in the slow process, a strange sound was making a strange sound on the floor under Tang Meiya's feet, as if something had been pulled to the limit? is struggling to resist Xie Yunmeng's power.

The muscles on Xie Yunmeng's arms bulged because of the force, and sweat broke out on his head, he continued to push the wooden table forward with a lot of strength, and finally a certain piece of the floor suddenly bounced up in the dark.

When Xie Yunmeng turned his head in a relaxed way, he only saw Yaya hanging pitifully on the wooden board, rubbing her knees and humming, Xie Yunmeng walked over and helped the little girl up and said, "I just asked you to be careful not to make a noise from the wooden plank and other places, why did you pounce on it and be hit by the broken latch to your knees, right?" ”

"Am I also a conditioned reflex, Brother Xiaomeng didn't make it clear!" Yaya pouted and leaned against Xie Yunmeng's arm.

Tang Meiya hurriedly pulled her away, the little girl always has little resistance to tall and handsome men, especially Xie Yunmeng is still so good, but people have a real girlfriend, Tang Meiya doesn't want her granddaughter to be misunderstood.

The kitchen was deserted, lunch was on the table, but no one ate it, for the simple reason that no one knew where to go!

Yan Muheng leaned against the wall, carefully moved from the study to the door of the restaurant, before he walked out of the study, he was already very curious, why couldn't he hear any sound in the restaurant that was still noisy just now?

But he didn't rush directly into the dining room, and if he was really seen and he came out of the study, it would be difficult to explain the matter, because everyone in the house knew about the abnormal opening of the study door before. And Yan Muheng didn't want Xie Yunmeng's actions to be hindered.

The closer he got to the noisy place just now, the more worried Yan Muheng became, he had a bad guess, but in his heart he was denying the result of the guess because he was afraid, when he leaned his head against the door frame, he didn't need to stretch out his head to look inside, Yan Muheng closed his eyes and muttered in place for a while, the guess can basically be confirmed as the truth, all the people in the restaurant have left!

"After a whole afternoon of searching, the treacherous house can be said to have been opened by us, but where is the murderer? There was no way for the murderer to escape from the snowy mountains outside, and he would definitely stay in the house to deal with us, so the only reason why we couldn't find him was that he was among us. ”

"Xiao Yao told me his thoughts, I think the feasibility is very high, and the people involved are not asking them to find the murderer, those related behaviors are likely to be related to some of their own secrets! I can see that Xiao Yao is doing this to kill two birds with one stone, and the hidden secret does not only exist in one person, but probably in the entire family of An Ze. ”

"Although there is no way to determine anything yet, I think we can trust Xiao Yao's judgment, extraordinary times require extraordinary means, Xiao Yao follows Tang Meiya's ancestors, the two of them may also be involved in other events, and you and Xiao Xiao are responsible for protecting the hidden proprietress and Shan Mingze, especially Shan Mingze, only by letting him stay by his side, we can pay attention at any time!"

Liu Qiaopu said a lot, but Xie Yunmeng still couldn't let go, "Teacher, I can follow Grandma Tang and Yaya, let Xiaoxiao follow Shan Mingze, there is also a Ms. Wen by their side, Shan Mingze can't make any big trouble." Even if you want to act, Xiao Yao must stand by your side, I can't let him have another accident! ”

Xie Yunmeng's tone was firm, which made Liu Qiaopu instantly feel a nameless fire rushing to his heart, and he roared at Xie Yunmeng: "Why are you so confused, if Xiao Yao's guess is correct, Shan Mingze's way will be very dangerous!" ”

"Xiaoxiao will definitely do well, I believe in Xiaoxiao's ability! It's not the first time she's experienced danger! Xie Yunmeng said that he was a little unsure of the sudden anger of the teacher, but he still said what he really thought in his heart.

It is true that he likes Xiao Xiao, and he will worry that Xiao Xiao is also true, but Yun Ye Yao is an indispensable existence for him, Xie Yunmeng boiled this feeling to the following in his heart: Yun Ye Yao does not have any force, and Xiao Xiao is very capable of fighting. In fact, even Xie Yunmeng himself was not convinced by this reason, but he chose to ignore it.

Yes, now that I think about it, there is a big difference between the two of them, and I was a ghost at the time, so I didn't notice it at all, so there are both advantages and disadvantages.

The disadvantage was that he had to conceal that Xie Yunmeng was acting alone again. To what extent the benefits will reach, he still can't say for the time being, anyway, it is also for the case, and it will not benefit him at all.

'Xiao Meng, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to hide it from you, just so that you can solve the case with peace of mind! ’

In the middle of his thoughts, there was a sudden sound of twisting the handle outside the door, Yun Yeyao hurriedly stood up straight, it was Liu Qiaopu who came back, and the old man saw him and only asked: "Did you hear everything?" ”

“…… Yes, teacher, don't worry, after this incident, I will go abroad to film and will be away for a long time. When Xiaomeng and Xiaoxiao get married, I will also bless them. ”

"I hope so!" Liu Qiaopu glanced at Yun Yeyao and walked towards the room, many people have not woken up at this moment, and Yun Yeyao feels that the old man's back seems to have aged a lot all of a sudden, an old man who is worried about his children is not wrong, and Yun Yeyao's own pain, even if it is difficult to swallow, he has to force himself to swallow it, just so that Xie Yunmeng can be carefree in the future.

——

The surrounding space suddenly fell silent, and Xie Yunmeng was also thinking about the teacher's words. Why is the teacher so worried about Xiaoxiao all of a sudden?

It's not once or twice that Xiaoxiao participated in dangerous operations, in the past, the teacher just cared about and encouraged, let her do it, and she was the only female criminal policeman who was appreciated by the teacher. Xie Yunmeng knows Liu Qiaopu's temperament very well, and he thinks that the criminal police must be brave and decisive, not afraid of hardship and sacrifice.

However, now that he is just letting Mei Xiao protect Ms. Wen, he is worried about this, Xie Yunmeng understands that things will definitely not be so simple!

Could it be that Xiao Yao did something to make the teacher angry? But that's not right! The teacher's trust in Xiao Yao's plan so much shows that he has a very good impression of Xiao Yao, but what does the teacher's last sentence mean?

Xie Yunmeng was puzzled, he looked at the sky, the snowflakes in the sky had formed Xiaoice frost, it hurt on his face, Xie Yunmeng took a step and quickly left the place where he met with Liuqiao Pu, without being discovered by anyone.

"Do you remember who you are?" Yan Muheng opened his mouth and asked a strange question.

In exchange for an affirmative answer, and this time, the man in his arms sat up and answered very crisply.

"Of course I know who I am! Just why am I here? Who are you? Yan Muheng, you have never shown your true colors from the beginning, and now I just want to know, who is your true identity? ”

Suddenly, the feeling of headache shifted to Yan Muheng's body, and the person in front of him seemed to return to a normal state, but that fleeting reaction had been deeply rooted in Yan Muheng's heart, making him turn his protection targets into three: Xixi, Horror, and Yun Yeyao.

Yes, it was Yun Yeyao who was left alone in the restaurant, and Yun Yeyao seemed to have the same situation as Yan Muheng, who was in a coma because of a headache, but he didn't remember what he did afterwards.

Yan Muheng said: "Mr. Yun, the identities of the two Yan Muhengs have been placed in front of you, have you forgotten?" Who am I, and who is Yan Muheng in the house? Officer Xie wouldn't be happy to hear that. ”

He wanted to use these words to hide the shock in his heart, but Yun Yeyao didn't seem to be ready to end the conversation like this, and continued: "I seem to remember that I was in a coma twice, the first time I dreamed of an old man, and the second time I dreamed of a young man, and they both had the same scars on their faces as you, so I couldn't tell who you really were? If you're not the murderer, tell me the truth. ”

"I am the eternal heart of this family!"

When the four words of Eternal Heart were spoken, a trace of imperceptible strangeness flashed in Yan Muheng's pupils, and Yun Yeyao looked into his eyes and asked, "Eternal?" ”

The silence of the "......" replaced the answer, making the doubt in Yun Yeyao's eyes deeper and deeper.

He got up from the sofa, looked down at Yan Muheng, paused for a moment, changed the topic and said, "Your hand is injured, wait a minute, I'll go find some gauze and medicine." ”

"Xiao Yao." Yan Muheng called out this name for the first time and asked, "Where have everyone gone?" ”

"They and the teacher are in a safe place, now protected by a little one, I wanted to stay here to investigate, I don't know what's wrong, all of a sudden headache, all I remember is this, and then I saw you wake me up."

"You really don't remember anything when you were unconscious?" Yan Muheng asked, for this question, his tone revealed a persistence.

Yun Yeyao replied: "I don't know, anyway, it's not dead, after I bandage you, I'll take you to the teacher." Sister Wang and the cook will take care of you. ”

Yan Muheng hurriedly caught his upper body and asked, "Are you okay?" Is the headache still there? ”

Receiving the man's worried eyes, Yun Yeyao shook his head and said, "The headache is much better, but I feel like my temples are jumping suddenly, and I ......"

"How are you?" Seeing Yun Yeyao pause, Yan Muheng unconsciously became nervous again, and he had been worrying in his heart whether the part of thinking that belonged to Mr. Actor was still in the mind of the person in front of him, just like he had been unsure whether he was just Yan Muheng.

Although this idea is strange, it can at least show that Yan Muheng is conscious of his own situation.

After a while, it seemed that the vertigo had improved a lot, Yun Yeyao also cheered up, he gently pushed Yan Muheng's hand away and said, "I'm fine, why are you so worried about me?" There was a look of confusion in his eyes.

Looking at Yun Yeyao's inquiry, this 1.8-meter-old boy instantly became cute in Yan Muheng's eyes, and he couldn't help blushing slightly, and said, "I don't know, I just feel very worried about your headache." ”

Yan Muheng was telling the truth, but it was just a truth that did not explain the reason clearly, Yun Yeyao continued to ask: "Do you also have a headache?" ”

"Yes, often."

"What causes headaches?"

"I don't know. My hand hurts right now, can you help me? Yan Muheng deliberately changed the topic, he used his shoulder to exert force, brought the hand that could not move freely close to Yun Yeyao, and gently touched the back of the actor's hand.

Yun Yeyao didn't ask any more, nor did he pick up Yan Muheng's hint, but after moving a few steps forward, he said to Yan Muheng: "Let's go, I'll take you to Grandpa Liu, and now the rest of the people are taking care of him." ”

"What's wrong with Grandpa Liu?" Yan Muheng asked, he came in from the periphery, and he hadn't determined the situation in the restaurant yet, but he just heard Tang Meiya and Xie Yunmeng talk a little bit, but it was impossible for them to tell Yan Muheng the truth about the attack on Liuqiaopu.

"He's fine, you'll know when you go over."

'Hurry up, I'm going to hurry up, he can't move, it's dangerous to be there alone!' Shan Mingze ran desperately, his face was wounded for some reason, and he was still wrapped in strips of cloth torn from his clothes.

The down jacket on his body had long been lost, only a torn shirt remained, and a bloodstained crewneck sweater, the cuffs of the sweater were pulled up high, and now Shan Mingze couldn't care about the cold.

His frostbitten hands during the day yesterday were still aching, but he didn't regret it, the frostbite showed his determination and gave him the recognition he wanted, which was definitely worth it.

Desperately speeding up his pace, Shan Mingze almost fell down several times, but he couldn't stop, even if his feet twisted, because he was too worried about the person who was with the demon.
