Chapter 381 Reasoning: The Night Before the Truth Nineteen
The grocery store owner was walking alone in the snow, the snow was indeed much lighter, and it should have stopped in another night, but the temperature did not warm, and he shivered with cold, regretting his decision just now.
After entering the treacherous house from the cave in the rock, he found this small external door on the second floor of the main house, because he always thought that Wen Manman was running away in front of him, so after searching around the hexagonal room on the second floor, he found that there was no target to look for, and he could not leave through the other entrances and exits, so he did not hesitate to jump into the snow through the small door.
Now that I think about it, the decision just now was too arbitrary, it was easy to jump from above, and it was not so easy to climb up from below, and with the current situation of the grocery store owner, it was impossible to do it at all, so he could only reluctantly walk forward to see if the door of the treacherous house was locked.
The ice and snow made his nerves tremble, but it made his brain clearer, and he was also rethinking the death of his wife. The grocery store owner was puzzled, not that he was not sure, but that he couldn't feel at ease, what the hell was he doing? In the end, are you helping the detectives, or are you pushing yourself into the abyss of destruction?
Now that they don't even have a wife, if they die in the snow again, who will take care of their children?
Thinking of the child studying at the foot of the mountain, the grocery store owner regained his strength, and he felt that he didn't care about it now, and there was still room for him to return.
His feet made regular marks on the snow, and the survivor drew closer and closer to the door of the treacherous house, and before he reached the gate, he couldn't wait to reach out his hands to touch the door that would give him warmth.
——
Staying on the first floor, Mei Xiaoxiao waited, there were too many things to worry about, and too many speculations could not be confirmed, was it the right choice for Yan Muheng to go upstairs? Where will Yu Cha go? Did the murderer take him away? What's really going on in this house? Are the walls with their countless protrusions that can hold the stool really that fragile?
Everything was bothering the policewoman, the most important of which was the concern that Xie Yunmeng and Liu Qiaopu had too much trust in Yun Yeyao's plan of action, she began to search the entire first floor, began to understand every wall, and slowly walked in the direction of the entrance and living room, completely unaware of what was about to happen behind her.
Those people were still in the entertainment room, and it was far from enough for only one person to act, so there had to be someone to call them all to the living room, and that person was Wen Manman, who was deliberately let go by Xie Yunmeng.
The moment they met outside the secret room on the third floor, Mr. Detective sensed what Wen Manman wanted to do? Although he didn't understand the ultimate goal, the detective chose to believe her and told her some things, which came from the hints of Mr. Actor, and Weinman happened to trust the actor's judgment very much.
Everything was ready, everyone was about to converge, and Venmanman headed in the opposite direction, she had to get to the first floor before Mr. Detective, and the only way was to use the small door on the second floor to rush back to the treacherous house through the snow, and the person who helped him was Eternal.
——
"Hey, if you jump here, you're going to die!"
"You can't do it with the method I taught you, aren't you very courageous?"
"How will I know if you are good or bad, maybe you are the hidden murderer?"
"But I think you believe me, otherwise why would you have come here with me? Don't be afraid I'll push you down! ”
“…… Forget it, just trust you this time, tell me how you resisted the wind and cold? Hurry up! ”
"Wearing this dress, there is something in the clothes that will heat up on its own, it has not lost its effect, it should be able to help you hold up to the gate of the treacherous house, but you can't wrap it too tightly, if it is too tight, it will get hot."
"I'll give it a try...... Ah! It's really warm, what did you sew in the mezzanine? ”
"Hurry up, don't tell them they've seen me."
"Can you tell me your name? Yes!! ”
“……”
When Wen Manman fell face down on the snow, he was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, and the person above not only did not answer the last question, but also pushed her down unexpectedly, but fortunately the snow below was thick and there was nothing to obstruct, otherwise she would have really fallen to her death.
Wanting to curse a few words, but was stopped by the oncoming wind and snow, Wen Manman wrapped the down jacket given to him by the person above, and hurried towards the gate of the treacherous house, and at this moment, another person was pushing the door at the gate, he was the owner of the grocery store who had disappeared for a while.
There was a difference of about seven or eight minutes between the two of them when they arrived at the door, and when Wen Manman reached the gate, the grocery store owner had already gone in and had not closed the door.
Wen Manman immediately became alert, and secretly leaned outside the crack in the door to look inside, she saw a dark shadow sneaking into the study, and Mei Xiaoxiao and they were still discussing in the entertainment room, obviously not finding anyone who had slipped in.
By now, the behavior of the grocery store owner has also become weird, who is the murderer? Who is the one who is being used by the murderer? It's really getting more and more confusing.
When Yan Muheng heard these words, a smile actually appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his face was not as terrifying as before, and he replied, "Listen to it." ”
Then, the three of them walked together towards the path between the restaurants, usually behind the main house, where the food warehouse or abandoned hut would be, and the direction they were now walking was between the two small restaurants closest to the treacherous villa. The three of them are ready to start here, and check them one by one in order. Yun Yeyao walked very fast, and it was obvious that he was very worried about the safety of the proprietress and the restaurant cook.
However, one thing is still very strange, why did Yun Yeyao worry about the restaurant proprietress and the chef so much just based on a few terrible lies from the little maid? Besides, even if something happens to them? Could it be that such a weak girl did it? No matter how you think about it, it feels unlikely.
The restaurants along the trail are lined up in a row from the trail to the cliff where the house is located. Walk behind the first restaurant closest to the treacherous house, and all the storage warehouses will be visible at a glance.
Because of the cold weather and the fact that the roof was originally designed to be sloping, snow is not easy to accumulate on it. So all the people here don't remove the snow from the storage warehouse. The front of each warehouse was covered with snow so thick that you could barely see the door to enter.
Yan Muheng stopped at the door of the first warehouse and looked at it, and said, "This way, it is estimated that it will be dry until dark just to remove the snow, how can I get in!" ”
"Well, can you shovel a path in the middle of the snowdrift first? Let's go in and talk about it? Yun Yeyao proposed on the side.
Yan Muheng immediately looked at him with a strange look and said, "Please, don't say such childish things, okay?" Xiao Yao, the snow is piled up so high, if you go to the middle and shovel out the path to take a look, it will be buried with people leading the way immediately. ”
What Yan Muheng said was indeed reasonable, Yun Yeyao was speechless for a while, he looked at the snowdrift and became worried, and after a while, Yun Yeyao's eyes suddenly lit up.
He turned to Yan Muheng with excitement and said, "In this way, we don't have to inspect every warehouse!" ”
"What do you mean?!" Yan Muheng asked.
Liu Qiaopu thought for a moment and said, "I'll tell you about this later, let's hurry to the ruins first, especially the basement, and search carefully." And, regardless of the search results? Except for me, Xiao Yun, Xiao Yan and Xiao Mei, don't let the others know yet. ”
"Okay, old man, I'll listen to you, let's act now!" Before the butler's words fell, the two of them immediately walked to the back of the main house.
At the entrance behind them, a small head poked out from where no one was looking, it was the horror that secretly chased to the door, and she completely heard what Yanagihashi Pu said to the butler, and there was even a hint of horror in her expression.
"Horror, how did you get here?" Sister Wang's voice suddenly came from behind her, startling the horror lying at the gate.
She turned around tremblingly, looked at Sister Wang and said, "I...... I just wanted to come out and see...... That one...... The snow is not a little lighter. "A hasty explanation seems unusually far-fetched.
But Sister Wang didn't seem to suspect anything, but she felt that the horror should be sick, she also touched the little girl's forehead like the cook, and then said: "Come in, you will catch a cold if you stand here in a sweater like this, Mr. Housekeeper and Grandpa Liu will definitely find the hostess, don't worry about it anymore!" ”
"Hmm...... Good! Horror could only let Sister Wang pull her into the house, and a pair of eyes kept looking in the direction of the gate, as if she was so anxious that tears were about to fall from her eyes.
'My' Past:
I stumbled upon that little basement because one of my favorite things to do was to go to my father's study and read a book. The small basement was in my father's study.
Every time my father was not at home, or when he was taking a nap, I would sneak into the study in the middle of the room and read the stories that I was not allowed to read. In my mind, these are the outside worlds.
I often think of the old woman who sold cold noodles in the small alley in front of the school when I was a child. Although many, many years have passed, the old woman's face is completely unrecallable. But the sour and spicy taste of cold noodles still remains in my taste buds.
I have seen the same plot in my father's study, and every time I see it, I feel very familiar. How I wish I could have a grandma or a mom to love!
"It's unlikely, I've heard that the basement is in the middle of the room, it's close to the wall, and beyond that is the cliff, and it can't be a place to dig the basement!" The butler shook his head in disbelief, still not touching the furniture.
Yanagihashi Pu didn't want to force him, and continued: "I think it's really strange, why didn't the previous owner of this place, Mr. Anze, build the basement on the safer side of the main house? The location of this remote house makes people feel very dangerous. ”
"yes, I originally thought that the hostess would be in this room, but now it seems that there is no hope here." The butler lowered his head, his expression dejected.
"So be it! You go back to the main house first to see if Xiao Yun and Xiao Yan have come back, if you come back, let the two of them come here, anyway, you haven't found the hostess, why don't I search with them and find out where the basement here is? ”
"Grandpa Liu, are you really sure you want to send it all here?"
"Otherwise, what would I tell you to tell them to do? Okay, stop rambling and go ahead! "Liuqiao Puyi's posture of selling the old began to come out again.
The butler sighed lightly and turned back to the door.
In fact, at this time, Yun Yeyao and Yan Muheng had only returned to the restaurant for a long time, and the housekeeper walked into the restaurant about ten minutes after their return.
After receiving the message from Liu Qiaopu, the two young men immediately put on their coats again and walked out, at this time Liu Hang said behind their backs: "Why don't I go and help grandpa too!" ”
"No, you stay here and stay with everyone." Yan Muheng didn't finish speaking, and closed the door of the restaurant. Liu Hang had no choice but to give up. Anyway, with the two of them here, it is estimated that grandpa will not have anything to do.
While waiting for Yun Yeyao and Yan Muheng, Liu Qiaopu squatted down again, he picked up the ruins with his hands, and then swept away the dust little by little, his fingers groping back and forth between the seams of the floor and the surface of the floor, carefully observing the floor below. As if he had discovered something, the old man's two thick eyebrows were furrowed.
There must be something wrong with the floor here, otherwise the old man would not have asked the housekeeper to find a helper to come and search the entire ruins, looking at his current appearance, the worry on his face was no less than Yun Yeyao when he was looking for the proprietress just now.
After about ten minutes, the girl's eyes finally opened, they were a pair of watery eyes, the gaze was like autumn water, so gentle and green, it could instantly make people feel full of wanting to protect her.
There is no flaw on the face of the small melon seed, white and soft, the bridge of the nose is narrow, the tip of the nose is slightly upturned, and the red lips are as attractive as the peach of three springs. Maybe the fat powder on Xiao Mei's face is too thick, covering up her true face. However, the beauty of the two people is definitely not the same type, and Xiao Mei looks much stronger than the girl.
The girl's body is a slightly chubby type, without slender and slender leg lines, but it is cute and lazy like a kitten.
She slowly propped herself up from the bed, obviously not ready to wake up, and the focus in her dark pupils was still sloppy. Because the body was almost frozen in the avalanche, it was not very flexible.
Half leaning on the bed, the girl's hand covered her abdomen, where there was a wound that had not yet fully scabbed, left by preventing someone from making a mistake, but in the end it could not be stopped. The girl didn't want to remember the incident that made her sad and frightened.
Because she is slightly fat, the girl's little belly under her pajamas bulges slightly, and she doesn't look very good when lying on her side. When she was more sober, she sat up straight and prepared to get out of bed.
The action involved the wound in the abdomen, and it was still very painful, so the girl's hand was always in the same place and never took it away.
"Knock knock... Knock knock knock ......" There was a sudden knock at the door, accompanied by the sound of a man speaking cautiously.
"Sissy, are you awake? Sissy! ”
“!!!” The girl named Sissy heard the sound outside the door, and after being stunned for a second, she didn't even bother to put on her slippers, so she immediately ran to the door of the room.
As if the wound was painful and the inflexibility was false, the girl was extremely agile at the moment, she slammed open the door with all her strength, and just after seeing the lover who had been thinking about her day and night outside the door, the girl threw herself into his arms and cried loudly.
The man showed a very nervous look, kept pushing the girl's body into the room, and then, gently closed the door behind him, before turning around and giving the girl a warm hug!
"Shhhh Be quiet, I came here secretly, and others don't know. The boy whispered in the girl's ear and reached out to wipe the tears from the girl's face.
Of course, it is impossible for Liu Qiao Pu to analyze the problem so clearly at once, he is just guessing and doubting, but the direction will definitely not deviate from the above analysis. Therefore, Liu Qiao Pucai wanted to use his identity as a retired criminal police officer and conceal the true information of the housekeeper's death to stabilize the murderer and other people in the house, so that Yun Yeyao and Yan Muheng had room to act.
What's more, they can't ignore those who are missing anymore, Yun Yeyao was actively looking for it at the beginning, and now it seems that it is indeed right, whether it is dead or alive, it must be found, maybe you can get some unexpected clues.
and the little charm he mentioned at the end, it seems that it is not necessarily that the little charm hurriedly entered the house as soon as she returned to the villa to touch up her makeup, and the little charm may have arranged some action before, and now she needs their cover.
It's just that in this way, Old Man Liu will be in danger, after all, the prisoners are in the dark, they are in the light, once the target is concentrated, Liu Qiaopu may also be included in the murderer's murder list.
——
Brown tower interior
At this moment, Sissy collapsed in the second room of the tower with wide eyes of horror. Her screams were heard by all, but no one entered the brown tower to take a look, for everyone thought it was from the horror of a coma.
Cissy had already passed out in a coma, and she was not in good health, so she couldn't stand such a fright. The horror inside the room is no less than that of a horror movie. Near the door, there were pieces of finger-like stuff scattered about, all charred, some still sticking together.
There were so many of these 'fingers' that they covered almost the front half of the room, and on top of the bed in the back half stood a half-body like a frightened doll, covered with a huge gray bow on top of her head, the lower half of which was stained red with blood.
The victim's face was covered with long hair, completely obscuring his face. Strands of blood ran from the cracks in her hair to her neck and clothes, and the little handles that emerged from the gaps were blue-black, and a blade slashed upwards through the victim's chin and into her neck.
The upper half of the victim's body was covered with blood, and the wounds were not visible, her waist was almost cut off by the waist, and the intestines and internal organs leaked out of the backward body, covering the entire bed, and the victim seemed to be immersed in a pool of blood.
He reluctantly said: "We really have been sleeping, no lie, I woke up first, and then went to the room to call this guy up, and then we went downstairs together and came here!" Nothing special happened in between. ”
Yanagihashi Pu observed Qiao Keli's face, that ugly face was full of anger and heavy nervousness. The expression doesn't look like it's fake.
Liu Qiaopu's eyes looked at Lu Haoyu who was angry on the side, this person has been in a daze since just now, could it be that he still hasn't woken up from the room to the living room?
This made Liu Qiaopu even more convinced, one of these two people must know something? It's just that I'm afraid of responsibility and won't explain. It's even possible that both of them know something!!
All the people in the living room were waiting for Qiao Keli and Lu Haoyu to continue, especially Liu Qiaopu, who stared at them with a serious face. This kind of gaze, which is like that of a criminal police officer interrogating a prisoner, makes Qiao Keli very uncomfortable.
All his restraint is about to be worn out by the old man, and besides, they are also victims, at least because of the things in the treacherous house! No one can deny this.
Lu Haoyu still doesn't look very sober, maybe it's intentional, maybe not, anyway, no one can figure it out now. It was just that it was much more time-saving to ask about Jokley, who seemed to be more sober.
This also caused Chokley to feel that all the fingers were pointed at him alone. The dark, thin and slightly hunched man sat down on the empty chair and said, "After I left the dining room, I went back to my room, and you know that our room is on the bottom of the brown tower, which is the farthest from the main house, so I think it's normal that I didn't hear a sound!" ”
"That's because you don't know enough about the structure of this house." The cook suddenly interjected, "From the inside of the house, the brown tower is indeed the farthest from the main house, and that is because the windows of the dining room and the recreation room are open directly in front of the house. You can go to the hostess's room and have a look. The window there was facing the brown tower, and I think Mr. Liu should have been outside very well. In fact, brown towers are more likely to hear sounds coming from the main house than blue towers, unless all the windows and doors are closed on this side. ”
The corners of the man's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a mocking smile, and then threw the half-body into the metal space in one go, closed the cover with a clatter, and hurried away......
Putting aside the chaos and noise outside, Yun Yeyao and Sister Wang stayed in the room guarding the housekeeper's body, and at this moment Sister Wang already knew about the housekeeper's death, and her mood became a little calmer.
