Castle Detective 13
"You don't have to fight, I'm still familiar with this place, you go upstairs to protect everyone, and I can fix the electricity myself."
Just when I was about to resist in Guo Fan's forced "interrogation", the old housekeeper suddenly broke the current deadlock with a word.
Guo Fan and I turned our heads to look at the old man, although the old man's face was still sad, but there was a little more panic and nervousness, his eyes flickered, subconsciously avoiding our gaze, I looked at his eyes seriously for the first time, although it was in this case, but people are always like this, the more they can't get it, the more they want to observe, his eyes are dull, slightly red and swollen, it seems that the soul has been traumatized, and there is no light for a long time.
Eyes are the window of the soul, in people's subconscious thinking, they will think that everything they think in their hearts can be reflected in the eyes and be peeped at, so when people suddenly have something that they want to hide or are extremely unwilling to integrate into the communicative atmosphere, they will subconsciously move their eyes and not look directly at people.
But what is there that the old butler wants to hide? Can you even quickly withdraw from extreme sadness? What exactly was the panic in his eyes? Don't? He...... No, what about motivation? I was clearly seeing the nanny, and after the death of the hostess, his sadness was not a disguise.
"This ...... It's too dangerous for you to be on your own. ”
"Rest assured, no one will want to waste their strength and wisdom on a man like me. Go upstairs and protect others, I really didn't see anything downstairs just now. The killer may still be upstairs. ”
A wandering look made me fall into thought, I didn't even hear the conversation between Guo Fan and the old butler, and when I came to my senses, the old butler had already left the hall, and my eyes inadvertently fell on the fireplace fire.
There must be a blower on the chimney of the ghost castle, coupled with the wind speed outside, the flame burns very much, the temperature of the hall is also rising, and the temperature of the body is rising, but my heart is still cold, I have locked the real murderer, but from beginning to end, I still don't know that the fat man was killed in a secret room, what is the murder weapon? How is the evidence of the babysitter's alibi made? What was the murderer's motive? How did the two journalists die? What is hidden in that series of numbers? Mistress Head ...... I didn't even find it.
The case is too strange, the sudden appearance of the real murderer seems to have broken my conventional thinking, the nanny and the madman are in a state of disappearance, there is no light in this huge ghost castle to find clues of their traces, if the babysitter is the murderer, the madman is an accomplice, then what is their motive? Does it have anything to do with the mysterious disappearance of the man in the ghost castle? If the killer hasn't stopped committing crimes, who will die next?
I returned to the fourth floor with Guo Fan with doubts, except for the accident of our footsteps, each floor was so quiet, occasionally a few thunders fell, and there was no more thrilling before.
The crowd on the fourth floor was quite quiet under Zhao Yumeng's settlement, and everyone sat on the ground nearby. The mobile phone showed that it was almost eleven o'clock, and the night of panic and turmoil had exhausted almost everyone, and some were even heading for a breakdown, leaning on each other in an attempt to get a sense of psychological insecurity from each other.
I walked into the hostess's room again alone, the slightest sound from the walls and floor did not stop me from thinking, none of us turned the curtains, because the scene of the crime had to be as intact as possible until the lights came, and at the moment, I was in the dark, trying to deal with the psychological changes of the victim at that time, my expression was constantly changing, sometimes fearful, sometimes angry, but ...... Why is there always something that doesn't make sense, even if I empathize, I feel that the bits and pieces of it are difficult to harmoniously merge into a line.
I didn't want to waste time, I stood in the room, quietly gasping, and even wanted to find some strange clues with my sense of smell and hearing during such a period of time, I don't know how long I stood there, and the light in the room suddenly turned on.
I didn't pay attention to the joyful voices of the crowd, and the moment the lights came on, I looked at the body of the hostess on the bed for the first time.
Under the light, her delicate body was reflected in front of my eyes, the blood almost dyed her whole body bright red, her fair skin could be clearly seen in the places that were not stained red by blood, the neat incision on the neck was almost exactly the same as that of the two reporters, according to the plasma distribution on her body, she was standing and was cut off with a sharp tool, the lamp switch on her bedside table was turned on, and under the lamp were placed several generations of silver-packaged medicines, with gentamicin procaine written, I opened the bag and sniffed it and tasted it, indeed, There was nothing wrong with the medicine, and it seemed that the hostess's stomach pain was very serious.
Such an elegant woman, even the dead clothes were so neat, it was obvious that she had not struggled before she died, and the whole red-dyed sheets were permeated with thick blood and murderous intent, and beside the neck of the corpse, I saw the blue gem that the hostess had once hung around her neck, which made me feel familiar, but I forgot where I had seen it.
The blue gem had already been half stained red by the blood gushing out of the neck before, and the whole room was still spotless except for the bloody horror on the bed, and the dark curtains were neat, I walked over slowly, opened the curtains with my clothes, and looked carefully, even the windows were spotless, and the evidence at the scene was completely washed away.
"Liu Xia, have you found the victim's head?"
Zhao Yumeng's inquiry made him turn his head and sweep the entire room fiercely, and all the possible hiding places were unobstructed by me, but I didn't find the slightest notice, even if it was me, the horror of the night was gone, and I didn't have the initial concentration, my head was running rapidly, and my eyelids became heavier and heavier.
The howling wind and thunder outside the window lifted my spirits, and I ignored the prototype of the scene, and quickly opened the curtains, and the light shone from the room to the window. Seeing this, I immediately opened the window and looked out, the wind brought rain into the room, I stuck my head out and looked around, relying on the moonlight in the dark night, I still found nothing.
In order to keep the scene as much as possible, I didn't dare to linger too much and quickly closed the window, turned my head to look at Guo Fan and Zhao Yumeng with bewildered faces, and didn't say a word for a moment.
"What's the matter? Tell me something. ”
When Guo Fan saw me like this, he looked very impatient, and when he said angrily, his voice increased a few points.
"There were sharp blade marks on the window frame, and the victim's head was most likely thrown out of the window by the murderer, but it was so dark that I couldn't find anything on the fourth floor."
I wasn't arrogant or pretentious, but I wondered why the murderer had cut off the hostess's head and thrown it out the window. If the previous murderers were all nannies, in terms of her criminal intelligence, she could guess that she had been suspected, her identity was about to be exposed, and she had to do all this extra cover-up for.
"You don't fart early!"
Guo Fan listened to my words, scolded angrily, and immediately turned around and walked downstairs, Zhao Yumeng also turned around to follow, but I called back.
"Officer Zhao, don't go."
"One more person to find, the speed can be faster."
"If the murderer really wants to hide something, we can't find it even if the head is outside, and too much time has been wasted when the power goes out. Officer Guo can help me make sure. ”
My expression was a little cold and nonchalant at this point, and the smell of gangrene in the air caught my attention, and I followed the smell from the room to the bathroom.
The master's bedroom is very large, even the bathroom has ten square meters, with white as the background color, the whole decoration is simple and noble, some anti-ancient decoration style.
