Volume XII

Twenty-three missing

"Ahh Wan Li and Bi Chengcheng were woken up by a sudden shout. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Li Han's face looking around nervously. He kept muttering." Where did it go. Why is it suddenly gone"

Wanli yawned. The eyes also glanced around. Suddenly. His heart tightened:

"Yes. Chen Xi is gone."

"Strange. Didn't he come back with us last night?" Bi Chengcheng shook his head. A bone crawled out of bed.

"Ahh Chen Xi." Li Han was stunned. Grabbed his hair and looked left and right." That's right. Chen Xi seems to be gone."

Wan Li and Bi Chengcheng fell off the bed. Looking at Li Han sweating:

"So what are you looking for?"

Behold. Li Han suddenly shed two lines of tears:

"My 'SOS Emergency Life-Saving Start-Up Fund' I. I saved this sad, painful, boring and uncomfortable life for more than half a year. How do you let me live?"

Wanli unconsciously sweated a drop in the back of his head. I couldn't help but ask him:

"How much did you lose?"

"It's a whole three hundred dollars."

"Wan Li really wanted to go up and strangle him. I took several deep breaths before I could hold back." You saved half a year to save 300 yuan (I guess this money won't save your life)"

"What. Three hundred dollars. It's a lot of money. Where is it. I'll help you find it." Behold. Bi Chengcheng was actually hot-headed and followed him to find it.

Wan Li was even more speechless. looked at the two men with contempt:

"Hey. I don't know why. I think you're so sad."

"Damn. You, a rich boy, don't understand how we poor people feel." Li Han and Bi Chengcheng said almost at the same time. Then turn heads around each other. The appreciative nodded with the other person.

Wanli was completely speechless. I had to stand still and look at this pair of living treasures.

"I can't see it. You're a kid with a lot of character."

"Yes. I suddenly feel like you're a lot more handsome."

"So what are you waiting for. Let's just say goodbye."

"It's a deal. Let's despise those who have money together."

"Good. I'm a little over nineteen. How old are you?"

"I'm still a month and nineteen. You're my sworn brother since the servant. Brother Han."

"Brother Cheng."

Wan Li looked at them with his mouth wide open. It took a long time to come to my senses:

"I said. Chen Xi is missing. You two should pay attention to it, okay?"

"Oh." Li Han and Bi Chengcheng woke up at this time. Hurriedly gathered around and sat in a circle. Pretending to care and thinking.

Wan Li sighed. I couldn't help but shake my head. It happened that at this time, I saw the housekeeper Feng Zhen passing by from the door. So he hurriedly stopped him:

"Steward Feng. Please wait."

Feng Zhen stopped. looked at Wan Li suspiciously:

"What's the matter. Mr. Detective."

"This. Did you see our assistant Chen Xi?"

"Chen Xi." Feng Zhen frowned and thought for a while. Shook his head." It's weird. The lady who came with you, Miss Liu, was not in her room."

"Sister Liu Min." Wanli was taken aback. Hurriedly asked. None of the others have gone missing?"

"Well, the blind man who brought Young Master Xiaoliang a few days ago seems to be gone. There is also Young Master Ouyang Haibiao and so on. Young Master Ouyang Haibiao, he seems to have been out of his room since yesterday. No one else has seen him anywhere else."

Wan Li was stunned. A bad premonition suddenly came over us. Successive headless cases have already made him dizzy. Coupled with the fact that someone is missing today, he only feels an inexplicable headache. After casually sending away the housekeeper. He limbly walked back to his bed and sat down. The head is buzzing

"Could it be" Li Han looked at Wan Li with a serious face. Seems to say something.

Wan Li nodded. Wait seriously for him to finish:

"Yes."

"They eloped with Sister Liu Min."

A crisp boxing sound sounded. Li Han's head suddenly had a big bag. Wanli couldn't hold back any longer. Green tendons emerge on the forehead. Still panting in his mouth.

Bi Chengcheng hurriedly went up to persuade Li Han, who also wanted to do it. Desperately pulling him away:

"Calm down, everybody. Brother Han just wanted to ease the atmosphere. You don't have to shoot so hard, do you?"

Wan Li simply didn't bother to pay attention to them. I left the room alone in anger

Twenty-four dark passages

The sun rises slowly outside the window. Constantly spilling sunlight on the earth. Illuminates the whole world. But he couldn't illuminate Wanli's foggy heart, and he walked in the aisle alone with his head buried in his head. The cases that have taken place in the past few days are constantly broken and reorganized in his mind. It's like playing a model assembly game where the guide drawings are lost. Always eager to rely on intuition to slowly piece together the clues. Give yourself a satisfactory explanation and answer. Can. I got it, but it was just a mess of threads

"Mr. Detective. Do you have a clue?"

"Ahh This one is a little bit over. The case should be solved right away. Please don't worry."

Once again, perfunctory and worried guests. Wan Li's heart sank even more unconsciously. He walked over to the kitchen. Because there's a dead person here. None of the guests are willing to eat what is here. It's also good. This leaves an otherwise busy kitchen empty. People are afraid to do chores or go outside to buy food for the guests. It's also just convenient for your own investigation. Wan Li raised his eyelids and looked at the mural hanging in the kitchen again. Unconsciously, my head grew again

Suddenly. A hand gently pressed on Wanli's shoulder. Wan Li turned around. Li Hanzheng looked at him with a smirk. Bi Chengcheng also smirked at him like an idiot. Wan Liwei smiled. Shook his head slightly. That's right. I'm not alone. I don't know why. I suddenly understood the true meaning of partnering

"Let's reconclude: at the scene where the 'post-90s brain-dead' was discovered. That is, the mysterious and terrifying room environment is clean and tidy. There was no sign of a fight or struggle. And this is impossible from the tragic condition of the corpse of the 'post-90s brain-dead'" Li Han squatted on the ground with a serious face. looked at Wan Li and Bi Chengcheng seriously." That is to say. There's a good chance that the room wasn't the first scene. So I suspect there's a secret way."

"Yes." Bi Chengcheng also nodded. And then crouch down too." And that Han Yan was killed. I was stunned. Can be sobered up and recalled. She was disheveled. It's obviously torn apart. Evil a little to reason. From this point of view, the murderer should be a man. But the cigarette butt that should have been cremated appeared in Han Yan's hand inexplicably, which makes people very incomprehensible."

Wan Li closed his eyes and thought for a while. He looked up again at the bloody handprints around him. Shook his head. also cooperated and squatted down:

"The body of the third deceased was found in this kitchen. Moreover, the deceased's younger brother, Ouyang Hai, has not been heard from since yesterday or even the night before. Plus Chen Xi. LIU Minjie. And the disappearance of the mysterious blind man, perhaps. I still can't figure out how these things are related. Why did he keep pointing to that mural? Even if it's a clue he deliberately wants to leave. What if the first to find his body is the murderer. Not afraid to wait. Could it be said that "

"Yes. This mural is just a deliberate attempt by the deceased to make a blindfold. He was the first to find his body in case the killer found it. So deliberately random fingers." Li Han suddenly became excited. The mood of several people was at the peak of excitement at the moment.

"So. That is to say, the tips left by the deceased are in other places, you are a person named Chen Xi. I didn't even look at this mural yesterday. In other words, he already knew this. Wait a minute. He seems to have been staring at these bloody handprints yesterday," Bi Chengcheng raised his head and looked around at these bloody handprints. But my head was confused again.

Wan Li frowned and thought for a moment. Then he asked the other two very suspiciously:

"There's one thing I can't figure out"

"Which point."

"Why do we have to crouch down and talk?"

"This" Li Han scratched his hair. Said embarrassedly." Just now I had a cramp in my foot. I squatted down in pain. I'm wondering why you're squatting down with me."

Wanli sweated for a moment. A bone rose from the ground. Raise your head and carefully observe these bloody handprints. The posture above is not the same. There are horizontal ones. There are also vertical ones. But I just don't see anything particularly strange

"Wait." Wan Li suddenly screamed. Excitedly pointing to a bloody handprint.

Bi Chengcheng frowned and looked forward for a long time. I don't see why:

"What's wrong?"

Li Han probably got better with his foot cramps. He also stood up and walked to Wan Li's side. Follow Wan Li's line of sight to find the bloody handprint. Tilting his head and thinking for a moment. Suddenly. He looked up excitedly. I looked left and right at the other bloody handprints. Slap your palms:

"This is it."

Bi Chengcheng was completely stunned. He opened his mouth slightly and looked at the bloody handprint repeatedly:

"Who will explain this to me if you don't mind?"

Li Han patted Bi Chengcheng on the shoulder seriously. Looking at him proudly:

"Brother Cheng. Looks like you've got a lot to learn. Have you noticed the pattern of these bloody handprints?"

"This" Bi Chengcheng looked at the bloody handprints around him again. Then I watched it up and down carefully. But I really didn't see anything. I had to shake my head.

"Their pattern is irregularity."

“”

"But. Pay attention." Li Han mysteriously put his face in front of Bi Chengcheng. Look at him with a serious face." The bloody mudras around here are all from the right hand. But only this one is left-handed. What does this mean? Very simple. The answer is that there are secret paths. The next thing we have to do is how to open this secret passage."

Li Han's voice did not fall. Wan Li has already opened the dark passage. I saw a large square hole with a side length of 80 centimeters appear in the place where the bloody handprint was originally made. Straight into the depths of darkness Li Han sweated. Swallowed a mouthful of saliva at the same time. Several people looked at each other. Then I got into it
