Chapter 11: Midnight Terror
"W-That's too much trouble for you." Li Hong was a little flattered, "We three big men, just do this little thing by yourself." ”
"You're welcome," Yu Yongyi said with a smile, "I was originally a servant of this family, and it is natural to serve guests, even if the lord and lady are gone." ”
"Yu Yongyi, can I ask you something?" At this moment, Yang Wenbin said coldly, "Last time you told Yan Junli that we would bring misfortune to the manor, what did you mean?" And Meng Yinghua said the same thing today. ”
"That's just...... Just a misunderstanding. Yu Yongyi's eyes flickered, obviously wanting to avoid this topic, "Don't care. ”
"If one person says it may be a misunderstanding, two people will never say so." Yang Wenbin didn't mean to let go of Yongyi, "I need to know what you mean that day, otherwise we won't be able to find out who the murderer is if we live here for a month." ”
Yu Yongyi glanced at Yang Wenbin, and finally sighed, as if he had given up and continued to insist, and said, "The reason why I say that is because ...... The two young masters were not born to the lord and the lady. ”
The three of them looked at each other, and Li Hongfa asked, "So, what's going on?" ”
Yu Yongyi sat down again after hearing the question, and replied, "Yes, this is going to start with the matter of the lord and the lady." As for the master, I also once said that he only regarded this place as a sleeping place, and did not care about the young masters and his wife. But I heard that he also worked very hard when he was younger, and he also used his family property to make some useful investments. In this regard, you may be able to ask Steward Ge, he has worked here all his life, and he will be more clear when he watched the old man be born. He began to drink heavily and became grumpy after the lady began to go crazy and the young masters came to this house. Madame is infertile, so the young masters are adopted. I have seen the old master beat the young master more than once, and he whipped them with his belt while shouting things like 'If it weren't for you, there wouldn't be all this', venting all his resentment on the young masters. It's scary when the old man gets angry, and none of us dare stop him. In addition to this, he is very attentive, and his habits are also very strange, and he has all kinds of different lovers, which his wife does not know. But sometimes when the old man beats the young master, the lady will rush out to stop or cry silently on the side, and the master will stop, so maybe he still loves the lady. ”
"So Meng Yangping is often not at home?" Yang Wenbin asked, "Who usually takes care of those two children, Mei Qing?" ”
"Certainly not by Madame. The lord didn't let the lady get close to the two young masters at all. Yu Yongyi shook his head, "I take care of their usual daily life." ”
Yan Junli wanted to ask a few more questions, but Yang Wenbin spoke first, "Okay, thank you, this information is very useful to us." You go get busy. ”
Yu Yongyi nodded, walked out of the room, and closed the door for the three of them.
"Why don't you ask him anymore?" Yan Junli asked strangely, "I think he should know more than he said." ”
Yang Wenbin shook his head, "He speaks very cautiously, and he is very vigilant, it is not good to press too hard." ”
"If you want me to say, there must be something wrong with this Yu Yongyi." Li Hong said affirmatively.
"Everybody in this family has a bit of a problem, and that's where this case is difficult." Yang Wenbin said absentmindedly.
Yan Junli patted Li Hong on the shoulder, "Everyone has boiled the bath water for us, you go take a bath." ”
Li Hong immediately smiled maliciously, "Oh, Team Yan, if you want to be alone with Doctor Yang, just say it, why do you want to take me away." ”
"What are you talking nonsense, little devil!" Yan Junli slapped Li Hong on the back of the head, "Are you still unwilling to give you the hot water first?" ”
"I do, I do!" Li Hong covered his head and hurriedly said, "Won't I go!" Team Yan, you are so fierce! ”
Yang Wenbin watched Li Hong being driven to the bathroom by Yan Junli, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.
"If you don't fight for three days, you will go to the house and uncover the tiles." Yan Junli commented.
"Xiaohong is a good child, don't be stupid." Yang Wenbin said with a smile.
"Don't talk about him, let's talk about you." Yan Junli sat next to Yang Wenbin, "You and Poppy, what's the matter?" ”
Yang Wenbin avoided Yan Junli's gaze and said lightly, "What's going on?" ”
"Don't play dumb, we can all hear you downstairs this morning. You're such a good-natured person, I've never seen you get so angry. Yan Junli approached Yang Wenbin, "What's wrong?" How did Poppy mess with you? ”
Yang Wenbin sighed silently, "It's nothing, it's really nothing." It is...... She wanted me to quit. She said she didn't want me to be her kind of person. But this is not the path I chose, it was the case that came to me first, and I just fought back! ”
Yan Junli comforted, "But she also cares about you, right?" ”
"I don't think she cares about me." Yang Wenbin's expression was a little indifferent, "I don't even think that someone like her would care about anyone." She may just be sympathetic to me, looking at me like she was herself in the past, so she tried to stop it. ”
"But-" Yan Junli was still about to say something, but was interrupted by Yang Wenbin's mobile phone text ringtone. Yang Wenbin took out his mobile phone and looked at a text message intently.
"What's wrong?" Yan Junli asked curiously.
"It's from the poppy." Yang Wenbin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, handed the phone to Yan Junli, and muttered, "I thought she wouldn't help me after making such a fuss." ”
Yan Junli's mobile phone, the text message on it is like this:
from:Poppy
Doctor Yang, the results of the small favor you asked me to help have been obtained, and I will sort out the two parts of information for you separately.
The woman who escaped with the 'key' is named Xu Shan, and her apparent identity is a kindergarten teacher, and her identity is an important member of the clown organization. Thirteen years ago, she absconded to the vicinity of the Rose County Manor, and has not been heard from since. Xu Shan and her brother Xu Xingyan were originally from City B, Xu Xingyan's parents died when he was three years old, and he was raised by his grandmother, and after his grandmother died, he depended on his sister for his life. In order to make a living, the two siblings did a lot of rough work, and after Xu Shan's disappearance, Xu Xingyan also lost news for seven years.
Ma Hongfei, Ma Xiangtao's son. He is 12 years old and is currently being raised by his father after his parents are divorced. Ma Hongfei has an account in his name, and every year an anonymous person deposits a fixed asset into the account, and after verification, it is found that the anonymous person's account has been frozen by the bank three days ago.
That's all you need, Dr. Yang, and in any case, be careful.
"What is this?" Yan Junli looked up at Yang Wenbin inexplicably, "What did you ask Poppy to check?" ”
"Clues, clues, of course." Yang Wenbin seemed to deliberately avoid Yan Junli's question again, and stood up, "I'll go and see when Xiaohong finishes washing." ”
On the first day of staying at Rose County Manor, I thought everything would pass so peacefully. The three of them took a bath in turn, climbed into bed, and Li Hong also excitedly expressed his yearning for the big villa, but because they were too tired during the day, they didn't talk for too long before they entered the dream.
This night was one of the few nights that Yan Junli slept soundly, but it was also this night that the most thrilling thing happened since they went to the suburbs.
At first, it was because Yan Junli felt a little tightness in his chest, he hesitated to get up and open the window a little and opened his eyes in a daze, he twisted his head to the side, but at this time he saw a scene that almost made him breathe stagnant:
In the moonlight, scattered through the half-closed curtains, a figure stood in the backlight, the figure masked, holding a kitchen knife high in his hand, the blade reflecting a terrifying white light in the moonlight.
"Wen Bin!!" At the last moment, Yan Junli pushed Yang Wenbin away with all his might, and then quickly rolled to the side, and the black shadow's kitchen knife slashed into the bed board at once. Yan Junli reached under the pillow with his backhand and took out a pistol, and shot a few shots at the black shadow, but unfortunately the black shadow fled out of the house like a fly, and the bullet only hit the wooden door frame.
Li Hong and Yang Wenbin woke up at the same time, the former was still a little confused and was not in the situation.
"What's going on?"
"Wen Bin! How are you, are you hurt? Yan Junli immediately turned around to check on his partner's condition.
"I'm fine, I'm not hurt." Yang Wenbin was obviously also frightened, but he quickly calmed down, "Leave me alone, catch up!" ”
But by the time they rushed out of the room, the shadow was long gone, leaving only a trail of footprints that had disappeared into the center of the courtyard.
"Oh my God, what's going on?" The dim candlelight hurried from the corridor, and the maid Ma Xiangtao walked towards this side with the candlestick, "I heard the gunshots!" ”
"It's not a big deal." Yan Junli shrugged as he gasped, not forgetting to use his untimely sense of humor, "It's just that someone with a kitchen knife wanted to kill a few of us in the middle of the night." ”
"Oh my God, this is just ......" Yu Yongyi and Ge Tianlu also rushed over later, and when they saw a line of clearly visible footprints in the garden, they were all surprised to close their mouths, "Did someone break into the manor?" ”
"I don't know, he's already escaped anyway." Yang Wenbin's expression was unusually calm, and his tone did not fluctuate, "It's okay, I'm fine, and no one was injured, this is a false alarm, let's go back first." ”
"But how could such a thing happen! Do you need me to call the police......" Yu Yongyi was interrupted in a low voice by Yan Junli in the middle of speaking.
"I'm a policeman, what's my name? It's okay, everyone go back, don't alarm the children, we'll take care of it. ”
