"So what do you think?" Yan Junli asked in a low voice, "The footprints lead to the courtyard, did someone break in?" But why did the footprints disappear out of thin air again? ”

"Nobody disappears into thin air. It's just a little trick. Yang Wenbin squatted down, his fingers stroking the marks in the dirt, "He stepped on his original footprints and returned." You see, the edges of the footprints closest to the door are blurred, and the pattern on the soles of the shoes is not clear, because the murderer was confused when he heard that we were catching up, and he did not fully step on his own footprints. ”

"Really." Li Hong also squatted down to check the footprints by the door, "So the murderer is still a person in this house?" ”

"A murderer, not a murderer." Yang Wenbin muttered to himself, "He won't be a murderer." ”

"But how could he be if he wasn't the murderer—" Yan Junli was stunned, "Wait, you already know who attacked us?" ”

Yang Wenbin straightened up and nodded, but didn't say anything.

————————————————————————

In the following time, Yang Wenbin never mentioned the night attack again, and they did not receive any more attacks after they fell asleep. The murder seems to be overshadowed by the peaceful atmosphere in the manor, as if the calm can last like this forever. And Li Hong seems to devote all his energy to the twins, playing with them energetically every day, that's all, he also calls Yang Wenbin or Yan Junli from time to time.

"You didn't get it! It's me who won! Meng Yingjun cheered.

"But you didn't throw it at me!" Li Hong said indignantly, "You did it on purpose! ”

Meng Yingjun pouted his little mouth high, "That's also my win!" ”

"You can't tell the difference between winning and losing. Otherwise, let's switch games. Meng Yinghua suggested. In the past few days, with the friendliness shown by Yang Wenbin and the others, this child's hostility towards them is not so strong.

"Then let's play hide and seek!" Meng Yingjun happily pointed at Yang Wenbin and said, "Let that big brother over there be a ghost!" ”

"What? But I ......," Yang Wenbin said helplessly, "you know that I can't run fast." ”

Li Hong immediately said, "No, no, no, you can't bully the lame brother!" I'm going to be a ghost, you go hide it! ”

But before the children could hide it, a face poked out of the door, it was Yu Yongyi who was smiling.

"Kids, it's time to eat!"

Meng Yingjun cheered and ran into the restaurant, while Meng Yinghua pouted and followed behind as if he was dissatisfied with the interruption of the game. Li Hong stood up straight, a smile in his eyes.

"You're getting along well with the kids." Yang Wenbin said with a smile.

"yes." Li Hong looked in the direction of the twins and said softly, "Children's minds are always very simple, and when you get along with them, you will feel that the whole world has become clean." My sister was like this at the beginning, she would be very happy when there was a little thing, and it would be very simple to make her laugh. ”

"You ......" Yang Wenbin had heard about the tragedy of Li Hong's sister from Yan Junli, but he had never known much about it, and he was interrupted by Yan Junli's voice just when he hesitated to ask this sensitive question.

"Wen Bin!"

Yang Wenbin turned around, and Yan Junli was walking over here.

"What you want, I'll ask for you. It took a lot of effort. There was a classmate from the police academy who was in City B, but he was not from the Criminal Investigation Department, and he had to travel for a long time to get an interruption. Yan Junli handed over his mobile phone, "You have to invite me to dinner when you go back." ”

"What's that?" Li Hong leaned over curiously.

Yang Wenbin quickly flipped through the text message, "It's Meng Yangping and Mei Qing's autopsy report." ”

"Wow, Team Yan is amazing." Li Hong said admiringly, "This can also be done." ”

Meng Yangping found a large amount of alcohol in his stomach, he should have been drunk before he died, and the murderer may have taken the opportunity to attack it because of this. The body was found to have had sex shortly before his death, perhaps he went to some amorous place before returning home, and if this person was like Yu Yongyi said, it would not be surprising. Yan Junli said, "And the fatal injury, as you speculated before, is an ordinary kitchen knife." The force was so strong that the wounds opened to both sides. Meng Yangping's fatal wound was in the head, and Mei Qing's was in the abdomen. But there was a very strange thing, even if the murderer was very strong, the wound cut out was not very deep, and he added a little more to kill Meng Yangping. ”

"Who's down there?" Yang Wenbin asked suddenly.

"What?" Yan Junli was inexplicable.

Yang Wenbin raised his mobile phone and said seriously, "Which vixen sent you this text message below?" ”

"That's my police academy classmate—no, why should I answer you!" Yan Junli was angry and funny, "You are still joking at this juncture, talking about the case!" ”

Li Hong covered his eyes with the back of his hand, "Why don't you two get married." ”

Yan Junli raised his hand and gave Li Hong a chestnut, while Yang Wenbin smiled and pulled the topic back on track.

"Oh, as for what you just said, I actually noticed it when I found the body."

"What? Then why don't you say it? ”

"Because I didn't bother to explain to Yuan Chengze why the murderer was weak and powerless when he killed people, but he was infinitely powerful when he carried the body."

"Oh...... That's right! Li Hong suddenly realized, "Why is this?" ”

"Because it's not one person who does these two things." Yang Wenbin said word by word.

——————————————————————

"I just won Brother Li Hong, but he didn't admit it!" Meng Yingjun munched on bread while defending dissatisfiedly.

"How did you win Officer Lee?" Ma Xiangtao said in a reproachful tone, "You must have done something." ”

"I don't have one!" Meng Yingjun pursed his lips, and everyone chuckled.

"One last dessert!" Yu Yongyi's voice came from far and near, and he held a silver tray in his hand, and inside was a delicate cream cake, which made people look very appetizing. Seeing that the twins cheered, Meng Yingjun jumped up directly from the chair, this jump didn't matter, Yu Yongyi dodged to the side, kicked the cabinet on the side, and the huge cabinet made a "squeak" sound, and it fell forward entirely.

"Yu Yongyi!"

At this moment, the old butler closest to the cabinet stood up at once, supported the crumbling cabinet with both hands, and with one force, returned the big thing to its original place.

"God, it must be because this cupboard is so old." Ge Tianlu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and smiled, "After all, it was already here when the previous head of the family was in place. ”

"Grandpa Ge is amazing!" Meng Yingjun cheered.

Yang Wenbin also said in shock, "I really didn't expect the old housekeeper's strength to be small." ”

"The style has not diminished back then." Yan Junli said approvingly.

Ge Tianlu waved his hand, "Where, it's old, it's useless." When I was younger, I was much more able to work than I am now. ”

At this time, the faces of this family were full of smiles, making people feel in a trance that this seemed to be just an ordinary family that could be seen everywhere.

But......

——————————————————————

"This family, sooner or later, will collapse." Yang Wenbin suddenly came out with such a sentence unexpectedly.

"What did you say?" Yan Junli didn't react for a while.

"Nothing." Yang Wenbin lowered his head, as if he wanted to speak and stopped.

"What's wrong with you?" Yan Junli put down the book in his hand and walked to Yang Wenbin's side, "You always seem to be listless in the past two days. Usually when there is a case, don't you jump higher than anyone else? ”

Yang Wenbin once again deliberately avoided Yan Junli's questioning and changed the topic, "What about Xiaohong?" ”

"He seems to have gone to the police station in City B, saying that he wanted to see if there was any movement in the investigation there." Yan Junli sighed, "Although I think there is Yuan Chengze in City B, there must be no good policeman, but it is better than nothing." ”

Yang Wenbin nodded, and at that moment there was a knock on the door outside.

"Brother Li Hong, are you there?"

Yan Junli walked over and opened the door, and found two children outside the door, Meng Yingjun holding a small plate in his hand, and a piece of jujube cake was presented inside.

"Li Hong went out, is there anything to do with him?" Yan Junli asked.

The twins' faces showed some disappointed expressions, "I originally wanted Brother Li Hong to taste the jujube cake made by Brother Yu, but I didn't expect him to go out......"

"It's okay, come in." Yang Wenbin beckoned to the two children, "He should be back soon, you can put it here first, and I'll tell him when he comes back." ”

Meng Yingjun jumped up next to Yang Wenbin and raised a small plate, "It's okay, Brother Li Hong is not here, it's okay for you to eat." ”

Yang Wenbin showed a gentle smile, touched Meng Yingjun's head, and picked up a piece of jujube cake to eat, "Well, it tastes good." ”

Yan Junli, who was on the side, couldn't help but joke, "Aren't you very good at dealing with children?" ”

"What are you doing?" Meng Yingjun looked at Yang Wenbin's mobile phone curiously.

"Work." Yang Wenbin said patiently.

"Do you work on your phone?" Meng Yingjun said innocently, "It's amazing! ”

Yang Wenbin couldn't help laughing and patted Meng Yingjun's head. At this moment, Yang Wenbin noticed something strange.

"Handsome, the one on your back, what's that? Is it a scar? Since the twins are now wearing suspender pajamas, Yang Wenbin can clearly notice that there are several strangely shaped scar-like marks on the right shoulder blade of Meng Yingjun's back.

"Are you talking about that?" Meng Yingjun tilted his head, "Grandpa Ge said that this is not a scar, it is a birthmark." My brother also has one on his left shoulder. ”

"Can I take a look?" Yang Wenbin immediately looked at Meng Yinghua and asked for permission.
