"I don't have a problem, but he can figure it out." Yan Muheng suddenly pointed to the top of his head and said that there was a row of wallcabinets above his head, and a person's body could be squeezed between the top of the wallboard and the ceiling.

Xie Yunmeng looked up, there was a man smiling at him, Xie Yunmeng didn't know this person, but when he barely took something out of his arms, Xie Yunmeng seemed to understand his identity a little.

Seeing that Yan Muheng helped the man get down from above, and after standing still, Xie Yunmeng just wanted to ask a question, but the man, just like him, compared a finger to his lips.

"Officer Xie, don't reveal my identity yet," the man tucked the things in his hand back into his clothes and said, "I'll explain everything afterwards, and now like you said, there is not so much time for us to pause." ”

"Xiaoice and I are old acquaintances, I can go over to get her attention and let you sneak in. But there's something I want to ask you for, Officer Xie. ”

The man's voice sounded very sincere, and Xie Yunmeng asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Can you ...... Can you help me prove that Xiaoice is innocent? ”

Xie Yunmeng asked rhetorically: "Are you so sure that she is innocent?" ”

“……”

The man's face was hesitant, and he paused before saying, "Well, I admit that I can't be sure, and I also admit that my previous actions were all to protect Xiaoice." Officer Xie, let's be honest, I love Xiaoice, although she has never really responded to me, but I really love her very much, and I am very worried about her. ”

"I will try my best to investigate, but is the result favorable to Xiaoice?" I can't guarantee this, I can only do my best to collect evidence that she has nothing to do with the murder, and I hope to help you. ”

"Then I'm part of the action, no matter what happens afterwards? I'm going to do my best to help. ”

"This is nature, what are you going to do now?" Xie Yunmeng asked.

The man said: "The three of us are crowded here, it is easy to be seen next door, you and Xiao Heng go to the back storage room to stay for a while, I will find a way to attract Xiaoice here." ”

"But Xiaoice is here, won't we be even more unable to leave? There's no second door here? Yan Muheng asked, he knocked and touched everywhere, proving that he had just arrived.

Xie Yunmeng looked at the man without saying a word, hoping that he would explain further.

The man said: "Xiaoice is a girl who likes to drink very much, especially his father's own wine, and has the reputation of not getting drunk in a thousand glasses." I can ask her over for a drink and get some spices in the wine. ”

"Condiments?"

Xie Yunmeng looked at the man's hand, at this time he was holding a small white pill in his hand, and if he looked at the pill carefully, it was actually stable.

Xie Yunmeng asked, "Where did you get this from?" Is it possible to carry this kind of thing with you during working hours? There was some questioning in his tone, after all, the man in front of him had too many doubts for him from the murder to the present.

"Hmm... Not at the moment, let's look at it again in the villa area, I guess we won't have to sleep tonight. Xie Yunmeng looked at the sky outside the window and replied, Yun Yeyao.

Perhaps tired, the detective's pretended calm appearance did not arouse the actor's suspicions, he leaned back in his chair and said, "I hope my father and mother are safe." ”

"Don't think nonsense, uncle and aunt have nothing to do with the case at all, nothing happens."

"But I'm always not at ease, I'm so panicked, I really hate it."

"Then I'll take you on a long trip when the case is over, it just so happens that I may not have taken a vacation for a long time."

"Hmmm......"

There wasn't much dialogue, the detective and the actor fell silent, and the taxi was filled with a faint smell of gasoline, which made Yun Yeyao very uncomfortable.

A few minutes later, he suddenly said, "Do you remember Liang Yongxin's habits? ”

"What?"

"It's Liang Yongxin in the Luoque House, he hates the smell of gasoline, I think I'm getting closer and closer to him now."

"Xiao Yao, you are different from him, I'm really angry if you think about me again."

"Alright, I'm kidding, it's all right!"

Yun Yeyao finished speaking angrily, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

The garden villa area is not far away, that home has not really been back since he was with Xie Yunmeng, and now, he once again didn't know what kind of expression to use to face his father Yun Yicheng, and even the home in front of him was afraid to see it.

'Xiao Zuo, how good it would be for you to go home, I have been looking forward to it for so many years, but why are you and your father so stubborn? Thinking about the things he couldn't figure out, Yun Yeyao only sighed.

——

The taxi passed by a small residential area with a large supermarket next to it, and from their point of view, half of the residential area was blocked by the supermarket.

Xie Yunmeng asked casually: "Xiao Yao, what kind of community is that?" ”

"It's called Gardenview Garden, it's a very old community, I remember when I was a child, before the supermarket and villa area were built, Gardenview Garden existed, and now it should be rented with a lot of migrant workers."

"Oh."

"You're at your destination." The driver interrupted the conversation between the two at this time, he parked the car on the side of the road and looked back at Xie Yunmeng.

After the criminal policeman stretched out his hand to pay for the car, he pulled Yun Yeyao out of the taxi.

"Xiao Yao, go to your house first or the murder scene?"

"Let's go to the scene first." Yun Yeyao didn't think about it, and answered her lover directly. When he arrived at the door, the fear in his heart suddenly widened, and he could not choose to go home.

The two of them walked into the villa area with their front feet, and a man flashed out of the garden garden behind, looking at the direction where Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng left.

Looking at her stepson who had hurt her for half her life, her eyes were full of pain, and Mrs. Yun couldn't help but reproach Yun Yicheng and said, "What do you have to say, Xiao Yao finally came back, do you have to quarrel?!" ”

"Okay, okay, even if you come to accuse me, then you all leave for me, and don't show up in front of me!"

Yun Yicheng bypassed his wife, and disappeared into the courtyard of the villa with a huff, Mrs. Yun didn't care about him, pulled Yun Yeyao over, and then beckoned Xie Yunmeng to go over with him, and said to the two of them: "Don't worry about that old man, the older you get, the more confused you become, if you have anything to do, just leave it to me the old man, don't worry." ”

"Mom, thank you for your hard work." Yun Yeyao calmed down a little and said to his stepmother.

Xie Yunmeng on the side also said: "Thank you, aunt." ”

"Alright, let's go, I'll call when it's okay."

After Mrs. Yun finished speaking, she watched the two of them leave, and was about to go back upstairs to comfort Yun Yicheng, but suddenly Xie Yunmeng's greeting came from behind.

"Auntie."

I don't know when, Xie Yunmeng turned around, but there was no Yun Yeyao by his side, and Mrs. Yun asked curiously, "What about Xiao Yao?" ”

"Xiao Yao is waiting for me at the corner over there, and I said I want to come back and apologize to you."

"Oh, no." Mrs. Yun thought that he was really here to apologize, and quickly replied.

Xie Yunmeng said, "Madam, I have one more thing I want to ask you. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Did a policeman enter your house before nine o'clock this morning? He was supposed to be wearing the uniform of a traffic policeman. ”

"Police? No, I've been cleaning at home in the morning, and no one has visited. ”

"Oh, I see, is Mr. Yun at home in the morning?"

"Husband! He was also at home and went out after nine o'clock. After Mrs. Yun finished answering, she realized that Xie Yunmeng seemed to have something to say, and she asked rhetorically: "Officer Xie, you don't suspect that we have something to do with the murder, right?" ”

"No, aunt, don't get me wrong, I came here before nine o'clock this morning, I wanted to talk to Mr. Yun about Xiaoyao, but I made a mistake and didn't find your house, and then I saw a traffic policeman running out of a house, so I followed him very curiously, and found that he disappeared in this area, but I wasn't sure which house I entered, so I came back to ask."

"I see, I'll go next door and ask for you later."

"Don't bother, aunt, I'll go first, thank you."

Seeing the distant back again, Mrs. Yun sighed lightly and went back into the villa, Yunyi City was still a 'time bomb', and she had no confidence that she could calm her husband down, so she could only send the two children away first.

The voice actually came from the man himself, because he vaguely thought of some bad things, but could not really make inferences.

The situation in this basement always felt a little mismatched with the meaning of the woman's conversation, and the man didn't want to risk his life, so he secretly retreated into the corridor, ready to see the situation first.

One minute and two minutes...... Time did not pass, but no one came down from the small door, and in the midst of the man's doubts, a pair of plain white hands suddenly stretched out behind him, and between the fingers, a thin line could be vaguely seen approaching the man's throat......

Soon after, there was a muffled grunt from the basement, and a man fell to the ground with no sound.

——

Gu Wu's house

Xie Yunmeng was carefully observing the scene after the body was removed, but Yun Yeyao's attention was not behind the decorative wall, but on the vase, and he also found that it was a telephone, but it was not clear why the police did not take this special telephone as evidence.

While he was in doubt, Xie Yunmeng called him: "Xiao Yao, come and take a look at this." ”

"Oh." In reply, Yun Yeyao put down the vase and walked towards the back of the decorative wall.

Xie Yunmeng was holding a small note in his hand, which was covered with blood, but strangely, the part with the words written in the middle of the note was not soaked in blood.

Xie Yunmeng said: "This one has the word 'Yun' written on it, who do you think will leave it?" ”

Yun Yeyao took it in his hand and looked at it, and there was indeed a word 'Yun' written on it, but he immediately smiled, squatted down and said to his lover: "It wasn't left by the murderer, and it can't have anything to do with our family, maybe it was left by someone who wanted to shield the murderer." ”

"Tell me about it."

"Xiao Meng, where did you find the note?" Yun Ye asked.

Xie Yunmeng pointed to his feet and said, "It's here." The place he was pointing to was obviously not very damp on the ground, and a small piece in the middle was dry.

Yun Yeyao then said: "Xiao Meng, you can also see that someone deliberately didn't want the words in the middle of the note to be blurred, so they threw the note in this place, and there are many creases on the note, indicating that it was kneaded before it was thrown into a pool of blood, and some of these creases have been broken, indicating that the note has been repeatedly kneaded and unfolded." ”

"If it's a murderer, just throw it down after the murder, there's no need to rub and fold it repeatedly, I think this should be a hesitant person, he doesn't know if he can achieve the result he wants by putting this note, but he can't feel at ease if he doesn't let go, and repeatedly rubbing the note means that he can't make up his mind."

Xie Yunmeng said: "Then writing the word 'Yun' means that he wants to blame you or your uncle, so it can prove that it has nothing to do with your family, right?" ”

"Did anyone turn over a corpse before I came?" Mo Hai asked the police officer behind him.

"No, Officer Xie and Mr. Yun came to check, but they didn't move the body."

"Okay, I got it."

Mo Haiyou put down the corpse, and reached into the mezzanine between her and the back chair and groped, the knot of the fishing line should have been pressed under the corpse, and Mo Haiyou needed to confirm the location.

If the knot is at the back of the neck, or at the back of the waist, it proves that the victim himself can also tie a fishing line on his body, but it is very difficult for an elderly person to tie it even in these two places.

From the forensic doctor's heart, he didn't want to believe that the old man was really tied up by his son and thrown here, but he was more willing to believe that the old man tied himself up for some special reason. But it takes evidence to prove it.

First of all, it is the fishing line buckle just mentioned, whether it can be tied by itself. Secondly, it is judged from the comprehensive results reflected in the physical examination report of the elderly.

Judging from the scene alone, Mo Haiyou is not without judgment, first, if the old man is immobile for a long time, death caused by hunger and dehydration, Mo Haiyou thinks no, the old man's oral mucosa and skin surface are not dry, there is no phenomenon of vein atrophy, and there is saliva outside the mouth.

Second, the old man's death time is not as long as expected, judging by the humidity and temperature outside, as well as the degree of decay of the body itself, the time of death will definitely not exceed 36 hours.

Generally, the corpse will begin to decay and discolor after 24 hours of death at room temperature, starting from the lower abdomen, Mo Haiyou checked the abdomen of the old man, there is indeed a corruption phenomenon, but it is not serious, and the corpse spots are also obvious.

He preliminarily judged that the time of death was within 36 hours. Thirdly, the wound of the deceased who was strangled by the fishing line was obviously caused after death, does this indicate that the old man did not struggle vigorously before he died?

In the text message sent to him by Yun Yeyao, Yun Yeyao believed that the deceased had struggled, but because of the bondage and his age, the struggle was very small. But in Mo Haiyou's opinion, these traces of struggle are not as convincing as the bleeding degree of the wound.

If the shoes fall off, they can be kicked off by themselves before they are tied, and the clothes are a little messy, this can also be disguised, and there is nothing else to do.

Mo Haiyou looked at the old man's painful expression, analyzed, he had been standing there for a long time without moving, and the police officer behind him couldn't help but ask, "Forensic Doctor Mo, how is it?" ”

There was no answer, and the police had to retract the conversation, but he found that Mo Haiyou's gaze had been fixed on the corpse's face, so he was also curious to look at the corpse's face.

Yan Muheng's voice was very low, "I'm sorry, Xiao Zuo, I always feel that Wang Lili, a woman, seems to be hiding a lot of things behind the scenes, just like just now, she desperately resisted the police because of Wang Minglang's solo interrogation, but I can't see her love for Wang Minglang from her eyes." ”

"But you can't stalk the prisoner without permission, it's dangerous!"

"Are you worried about me? Little left? ”

"It's not a matter of worrying or not, as an auxiliary policeman, you should notify the person in charge of the task force as soon as the prisoner escapes, how can you act privately? Now, tell me your whereabouts, and I'll call Fu Yan right away! ”

"I'm sorry! Xiao Zuo, I don't know where I am now? It seems to be inside a basement. ”

"You...... Forget it, what are the characteristics of the basement? ”

"It's dark, I can't see anything, Wang Lili disappeared after entering here, but there is a smell of seawater, salty, mixed with the smell of wine."

"Does the sea smell ......" Mo Haiyou was about to continue, but Yan Muheng suddenly hung up the phone, and he hurriedly yelled into the phone: "Yan Muheng? Yan Muheng?! "But all I could hear was the busy sound of 'toop'.

A wave of anxiety rose from Mo Hai's right heart, making him unable to calm down, and the police officer driving in front of him also heard their call and asked, "Forensic Doctor Mo, has there been any emergency?" Do you want to go right away? ”

"No, you wait, stop on the side of the road first." Mo Hai pointed to the side of the road and said.

The officer immediately turned the steering wheel, and the car quickly came to a smooth stop on the side of the sidewalk.

Mo Haiyou got out of the car and dialed Yun Yeyao's mobile phone, and Yun Yeyao was still at the murder scene in the villa at this moment.

"Hello? Is it Xiao Zuo? What's wrong? "Mo Haiyou will call all of a sudden, making Yun Yeyao wonder, shouldn't he rush back to the autopsy?

"Xiao Yao, I can't tell you more, I just want to ask one thing: Where is the place where there is the smell of seawater mixed with wine?"

"This ...... Drunken Xiangju, seaside winery, the location I will send to you. ”

Yun Yeyao could sense Mo Haiyou's anxiety, so he didn't talk nonsense, and said the words he guessed in his heart in the simplest sentences.

As soon as the words fell, Mo Hai hung up the phone on the right side, and Yun Yeyao paused for a long time with the mobile phone before saying to Xie Yunmeng: "He seems to be very worried." ”

"Is it Forensic Mo? What's wrong? Xie Yunmeng asked.

Yun Yeyao turned his head to look at Mr. Criminal Police mechanically, and added: "It's Xiao Zuo, I'm afraid that person will have something." ”

"Which one? You name it! ”

"Yan Muheng, I'm worried that Yan Muheng is acting privately again, you hurry up and call the airport and ask if anything has happened."

"It's not certain yet, I have to confirm it to know, and this matter has nothing to do with Xiao Xie."

"Are you saying that Xiao Xie has something to do with the murder?" The director was shocked and stood up from his chair.

Mo Haiyou hurriedly explained: "No, Director, don't get me wrong, what I said about inextricable involvement means that Xiao Xie was used, or did he really find any clues?" However, due to the special circumstances, I had to make sure by myself. ”

"Then you mean to say that now you have to make sure that Xiao Xie didn't pass on the news? How do you know? The director didn't understand what Mo Haiyou meant, but he still had full trust in this well-known forensic doctor.

Mo Haiyou said: "Can you say that? But there are many more places that I don't know very well myself. ”

"Okay, I'll send a few police officers with you."

"Director, this matter should not involve too many police officers, I want to go alone, maybe there will be unexpected gains."

How can that work? Xiao Xie has disappeared, which proves that there are certain dangers on the beach, if you go alone, who can guarantee your safety? ”

"It's okay," Mo Haiyou lowered his head and smiled, and said, "There is already a person there who can keep me safe, he is my friend's partner, and his force is very strong!" ”

"You mean Officer Xie from S City?"

"Yes."

"Okay, you can go immediately, call back immediately if there is any situation, or you can call my office directly."

"Understood, Director."

Mo Haiyou turned around and walked out of the office, the place he was going to was the drunken Xiangju that Yun Yeyao said, the only person he was looking for was Yan Muheng, and now there is another criminal policeman, Mo Haiyou feels that it is necessary for the trio to exchange clues with him.

The incident has developed so far, there is one person who seems to have been missed by us, that is, Lu Jinyan, the housekeeping aunt who found Gu Wu's body, this housekeeping aunt should have been arranged by Xiao Xie to return to the police station to further understand the situation, but when the director remembered her, no one knew where she went?

The director found a few police officers who brought her back, and only then did he learn that it was Xiao Xie who called halfway and asked them to let Lu Jinyan go home first, and then investigate later, because they witnessed the scene, Lu Jinyan's mood was very unstable and her mental condition was not good, so she could only go back to rest first.

At this moment, several other young people who were working also stopped their movements and looked at them, among them was a girl with beautiful eyes, because these people were wearing big masks, so they couldn't see the whole picture clearly.

The young man who had spoken to Yun Ye Yao was tall, thin, with prominent cheekbones on his face, but he seemed to speak softly, and his voice was slow and coherent, and a long apron almost enveloped his entire body, revealing only his calves like bamboo poles.

He said: "I'm sorry, our master didn't talk about it, maybe he forgot, but I seem to remember that there are three or four barrels of wine you want in the pantry, I don't know the specifics, I'll go down and show you now." ”

"Hmm... Can I go down with you? Because I want the kind that has the crane logo. Yun Yeyao said immediately.

The tall and thin man frowned and replied, "Now our wine barrels don't need to be marked by cranes, that was 3 or 4 years ago, did our master promise you to sell this kind of wine?" ”

"yes, he said yes, and he said it was in stock."

"That's weird, you can come down with me and take a look, if not, there is no way." The tall and thin man hesitated.

At this time, the woman beside him interjected: "Brother Wang, you can call the master to confirm." ”

"Xiaoice, the master forgot the phone in the store in the morning, he, ah, may be older, and his forgetfulness is getting bigger and bigger."

"Oh, then there is no way, but it doesn't feel good to let the guests go to the storage room, so let them wait here, Brother Wang, can't you just go down and take a look?" Besides, the master often said that the storage room can only be entered by our staff! Xiaoice said.

Yun Yeyao turned to her and said with a smile: "We won't stay down for a long time, we just want to confirm the trademark of the wine barrel, and Master Wang of the province will move it up and down." ”

"Actually, the wine brewed now is not much different from the past, but the trademark has been changed, I think the master should have told you wrong, you only need to bring back a barrel of wine brewed now, you will know that the taste is the same. If that's okay, you can do it again, and we can give the customer a small barrel of wine for free. ”

"That's it!" Yun Yeyao looked back at Xie Yunmeng, and then said: "Then there is no way, please ask Master Wang to help us bring a barrel of free wine, I will taste the taste first, if it is suitable, I will place an order here." ”

"Okay." The tall and thin man immediately answered, put down the tools in his hand and walked towards the basement, while Xie Yunmeng seemed to feel that it was too stuffy inside, and walked out of the wine shop alone, wandering on the beach outside.

The wine is very fragrant, Xie Yunmeng tasted it for a while, nodded and asked Yun Yeyao: "It is indeed good wine, do you want to place an order?" ”

Yun Yeyao said helplessly: "Of course you have to place an order, or else, you drink the wine, and you will pay for the order?" ”

"I'll pay for it, can't I afford these barrels of wine?" Xie Yunmeng snatched the pen and paper that Xiaoice put on the table, scribbled his name on it, and took out the bank card to Xiaoice.

Yun Yeyao smiled proudly on the side, as if he had taken advantage of it.

However, after the two of them walked out of the winery, their expressions became serious, especially Xie Yunmeng.

After walking a distance, Mr. Criminal Police said: "There is a body in the basement, it is a man, his face has been destroyed, the person surnamed Wang should not know about it, he was almost paralyzed by fright, and it doesn't look like a fake, I asked him not to tell the others in the store, and locked the basement, the key is now with me." ”

"Did you get anything from the corpse that would prove your identity?" Yun Ye asked.

"Yes, it's this." Xie Yunmeng took out something from his pocket, and Yun Yeyao took a closer look, it was actually a police badge.

"What? Could it be that the corpse is also a policeman? ”

Yun Yeyao's astonishment was expected by the criminal police, he said: "I can't make a conclusion yet, there is no other relevant evidence on the body, and the police badge may have been stuffed into his pocket after someone else got it from somewhere else, now what we have to determine is whether this incident was done by someone in the wine shop?" Who did it? ”

"Well, I also don't think those three people are like accomplices, and the woman named Xiaoice is very suspicious, and she has been very nervous since you left."

"I have to come back again to investigate," Xie Yunmeng said, "just tonight, I want you to go back first, I will stay nearby and wait for the opportunity, and I will send a message to tell you if there is a situation." ”

"Xiao Meng, you have to be careful, if you really kill two policemen in a row, it proves that this murderer has reached the point of being extremely vicious, if there is a chance, he will definitely plot against you without mercy."

"You don't have to worry about this, I'm still confident in dealing with one or two murderers." After Xie Yunmeng finished speaking, he looked forward, and a familiar figure appeared in their field of vision.

At the same time, Yun Yeyao also saw it, and he immediately ran towards the people who came, because the person who walked towards them from a distance was Mo Haiyou, and it was already very dark at this moment.
