A Moment of Life and Death (4)
Cheng Yijie watched the dance carefully, when his mobile phone rang. Seeing the number displayed on the screen, he frowned slightly.
“Hi,Jakey。” It was Jim's somber voice, "I've given you a mission to kill someone for me." ”
"I've said a long time ago that I don't like to kill people by myself." Cheng Yijie responded dissatisfied.
"But this person, now you can only solve it, and it is inconvenient for us to do it." "Aren't you really interested in the original British Museum and you've always wanted to see it for yourself?" When this is done, we will arrange an opportunity for you to open your eyes. ”
"Who's going to kill?" Cheng Yijie asked quietly.
"Xu Youran." Jim laughed dryly, "You must have found out that there is something wrong with her, in that case, let's think of the best of both worlds, both to get rid of her and to give an account to the police." With your ingenuity, you're sure to do it beautifully. ”
Cheng Yijie understood that the other party was testing him, and if he didn't agree, it would be even more impossible to gain their full trust, and it would be more difficult to get access to the original stolen works from the British Museum. Thankfully, Jim's designated target was Xu Youran, which was exactly what he wanted, so he readily agreed.
Lin Ningzhi's body was transported to the funeral home, where a mourning hall was built, and the family members kept vigil there. Xu Zhang and Lin Ningzhi's hometowns are in other places, and other relatives have not yet arrived, Xu Zhang was hit hard, dizzy and palpitating, and his body couldn't bear it, and Xu Youran was immersed in his grief, plus his legs and feet were inconvenient, and he couldn't help much. Therefore, at present, Cheng Lang and Mu Qingcheng are mainly helping Zhang Luo in big and small matters.
That night, Cheng Yijie went to the funeral home with Chen Yufei and her colleague Zhao Jun. Except for a few dim beams of light, the whole room in the mourning hall at night was dark and gloomy. Xu Youran said that he wanted to be alone and quiet, and everyone else entered the lounge inside. In the mourning hall, only Xu Youran knelt alone in front of Lin Ningzhi's statue, her eyes flickering faintly, gloomy, sad, and grief. "Why...... Why am I the only one alive......" She hid her face and wept, tears streaming down her fingers.
Cheng Yijie asked Chen Yufei and Zhao Jun to wait in the lounge inside, and he wanted to say a few words to Xu Youran alone. After Chen Yufei and Zhao Jun left, he walked to Xu Youran's side and squatted down.
Xu Youran raised his head and looked at him with a pair of distracted eyes.
"Because you have a strong desire to survive, you are still alive." Cheng Yijie lowered his voice, "However, Jim will not allow you to continue to live, your true identity has been exposed." I can give you a chance to choose whether to live or die, it's up to you to decide. ”
Xu Youran opened her eyes wide, looked at him in horror, opened her mouth, and she couldn't make a sound. The horror and shock made her face pale in an instant, and she began to tremble, and great fear hit her, and she shook her head at him, and shook her head in a pleading, sad, and pleading manner, and for a long time she spat out a dying voice: "I...... Don't want to die...... Help me......"
Five minutes later, Xu Youran walked on crutches and followed Cheng Yijie into the lounge.
Mu Qingcheng saw Cheng Yijie walk in, her whole body shook violently, her eyes immediately heated and faint, she stared at him, her face was angry, and her heart, which had finally become numb, began to tighten and spasm again, and the terrible churning pain.
However, Cheng Yijie didn't seem to notice her existence at all, his gaze just swept over her face, and he didn't stop at all. After he sat down leisurely, he also sat down on the sofa. "Regarding the death of your mother, I have important discoveries that I would like to inform you of." He got straight to the point.
"Didn't Mother Leisurely fall to her death accidentally?" Cheng Lang asked strangely.
"No, her death was man-made." Cheng Yijie replied, "There was a place that I thought was puzzling before, that is, why only the back of the brain was injured, and the other body was also injured in the back. If the soles of your feet slip when you go up the stairs, you should fall forward because the center of gravity of your body is moving. Therefore, I am afraid that someone pushed down the top of the steps, and I will fall down on my back and cause such an injury. She was still alive when she first fell, and if it was a deliberate murder, there was no reason why the murderer didn't go down the steps to make sure, and if he found out that the person was not dead, he should have dealt her another fatal blow. However, the killer did not go down the stairs to confirm. Why is that? That's because the murderer didn't go down the steps, but she couldn't go down the steps, and her legs and feet were inconvenient to walk down the steep and slippery stone steps on crutches on a rainy day. ”
He continued to say under the stunned gaze of everyone, "This morning, I went to Xu's house to look for Cheng Lang, the door was hidden, the floor of the entrance was wet, but the umbrella in the bamboo basket was dry. The reason is that the murderer was unable to hold an umbrella and went out wearing a raincoat. On the ground on the stone steps, I found a small circular mark on her crutches. ”
Everyone present was shocked, including Chen Yufei and Zhao Jun, who did not fully understand the truth in advance.
"You mean Xiao Ran is the murderer?" Xu Zhang shouted irrationally, "It's absolutely impossible, how could she kill her mother." Our family is already messy enough, you are still talking nonsense like this, what the hell do you want! ”
"I'm not talking nonsense, Xu Youran in front of you has enough motives to kill Ms. Lin Ningzhi. She is not the real Xu Youran, but Xu Qiaoling of Li Daitao, and it was Xu Youran who died in the fire. Cheng Yijie turned to the stunned Cheng Lang, "After the fire broke out, both of them were burned black, how did you tell that it was Xu Youran who survived?" ”
"On her leisurely hand, she wears the jade bracelet I gave her." Cheng Lang looked at Cheng Yijie in disbelief, "What about the evidence, what is the evidence?" ”
"Just do a DNA test and the truth will come out. But don't bother, I've got the crucial evidence. Cheng Yijie looked at Xu Youran and said, "This morning, you were doing a one-leg rotation in the practice room, and you said that your rotation fulcrum has always been your left leg. I see that you are using your left leg as a support, and your right leg is exerting force, rotating clockwise. However, I found a video of Xu Youran dancing at a wedding reception in Sydney, with her right leg as a support and her left leg exerting force, rotating counterclockwise. No matter how a person changes, habits will not change, not to mention that you have all learned to dance since childhood, and you have already formed habitual movements. ”
Xu Youran lowered her head and remained silent, her silence had proved a terrible fact - she was not Xu Youran, but Xu Qiaoling!
"Let's talk about the other evidence that you killed Lin Ningzhi." In the deathly silence of the room, Cheng Yijie's voice was particularly shocking, "I found an animal hair on Lin Ningzhi's clothes, it was the hair on the rabbit Nini, this morning, Cheng Lang took Nini to do beauty shearing, that hair is very long, obviously stained before beauty shearing." Cheng Lang said that leisurely's parents don't like pets and don't allow them to run around the house, and leisurely now doesn't care about Nini.
The rabbit is spiritual, and after the grooming and shearing came back, when Cheng Lang was about to put Nini back in the cage, it suddenly lost its temper, there must be a reason, it is likely that someone has approached the cage before and annoyed it. Rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, and I've been bitten by Nini before, so I infer that the person who annoyed it will have the same experience. Leisurely parents will basically not have the opportunity to contact Nini, their possibility is very small, the nanny is resting again, not at home, the most likely is Xu Qiaoling.
I sent the rabbit to the Public Security Bureau for identification, and sure enough, by examining the attached components on Nini's teeth, I found silicone. Normally, when a finger is bitten, human sebum and blood will be detected, but what Nini bites is silicone, or prosthesis, which is a silicon prosthesis used by people who have lost their fingers. Xu Qiaoling suffered severe burns, resulting in the amputation of part of the fingers of both hands, and when I saw her hand in the morning, it was equipped with a prosthesis, and because of this, her hand was stained with rabbit fur but I didn't feel it.
In this way, everything is understood. Xu Youran used to love Nini very much, but after the burn, Xu Qiaoling didn't care about Nini at all, and when she suddenly put her hand into the cage to touch Nini, she annoyed Nini and was bitten by it, which also caused her temper to continue to be irritable. It's just that I don't understand, how did you suddenly get close to Nini? ”
"When I went to get my raincoat, I passed by the cage and saw Nini, and suddenly I missed it very much. I tried to touch it, but it bit me. Xu Qiaoling suddenly smiled, laughing miserably, bitterly, and desolately, "I didn't mean to replace leisurely." On the night of the fire, I confessed to Youran that I was also in love with Cheng Lang. Later, when she went to take a bath, she took off the jade bracelet that Cheng Lang gave her and put it on the table, I asked her if she could borrow me to wear it for one night and return it to her the next day, and she agreed. Unexpectedly, there would be a fire in the back. At that time, I ran out with Youran, I ran to the door, and when I turned around, I saw Youran falling to the ground, and I was going to save her, but something hit me on the head, and I didn't know anything after that. When I regained consciousness, everyone thought I was leisurely, and they all said that it was leisurely that survived. ”
She covered her chest with her hands, tears rolled down in strings, and she cried, "This is equivalent to saying that the one who dies should be Qiaoling, and leisurely is worth living!" I can't tell you, in fact, I'm not leisurely, it's Qiaoling, I can't say it, I have no choice but to live as leisurely! Of course, I admit that there is also a little selfishness at work, I love Cheng Lang, if I become leisurely, I can get his love. I knew it wasn't right, but I couldn't control my feelings. Cheng Lang is so dedicated to accompanying and taking care of me, I am very guilty, but I am very greedy for the time with him, I am suffering from inner torture and torment every day, and people have become very irritable and prone to tantrums. ”
