However, Luo Yifan could not tell the girl these words, because in addition to appreciation, he also held a suspicion, and he saw the fear that always remained in the girl's eyes.

What was the sound you heard outside the door? The girl must have been questioned by the police, and in the past two days, if she had nothing to do with the murder, she should have heard a knock on the door again.

But it is not excluded that the girl's timidity is very small, and she will panic when she sees the criminal police, so Luo Yifan decided not to ask her about Liu Yunzhao for the time being, and make some small temptations first.

Luo Yifan said: "I came here to find someone, I have a friend who commissioned a painter here to paint a painting, but the deposit was paid, but the painting was not delivered for many days, my friend was very busy, I happened to come to S City to do business, so he entrusted me to come over to help him find it, do you know which apartment the painter lives in?" ”

"There used to be a painter here, but he moved out a few months ago, and I don't know where he lives now." The girl seemed to be calm on the surface, and her voice was not abnormal, but Luo Yifan found that her hand hidden in her sleeve was trembling slightly.

Luo Yifan continued to ask quietly: "Which apartment building did the painter live in before?" Can you point me to it? ”

The girl's eyes wandered a little, and she replied to Luo Yifan: "It's the first room at the entrance of the corridor, and someone has moved in now, so I can't help you ask." ”

As soon as he heard her answer like this, Luo Yifan's pupils immediately became gloomy, but his face and the smile on the corner of his mouth still did not change, the girl's words had already revealed her secret, and she must be involved in Liu Yunzhao's case.

But Luo Yifan feels that this girl may not be an actual participant in the case, but a person who has been deceived and used. Because from the time Luo Yifan walked into the house to the present, the fear and hesitation exuded by the girl have never stopped.

Luo Yifan knew that he was not afraid of himself, but afraid of the police who had come before, which showed that after the police came, she realized that what she did involved a crime, so she stayed alone in the house and was upset.

"I want to know more about that painter, does he have a friend named Liu Yunzhao who also lives here?" Luo Yifan changed his attitude of going around in circles just now and began to ask directly.

"But I never expected that Liu Yunzhao would attack me while I was not paying attention, and he covered my mouth with a handkerchief, and soon I didn't know anything. When I woke up, I found that I had returned to my home inexplicably, and the traces of makeup on my face had been wiped off, the wig on my head, and the clothes on my body had been replaced with my usual home clothes at home. ”

"I couldn't believe my eyes, I couldn't figure out who had changed it for me, and I didn't even know when or how I got home. From that day until now, Liu Yunzhao has never contacted me again. ”

After the girl finished speaking, Luo Yifan asked her: "You mean that Liu Yunzhao and the painter, as well as the men who met you, have all disappeared, right?" ”

"It can be said that Liu Yunzhao did not go back to the apartment a month ago, and the person who played my boyfriend came in the middle of the night a week ago, and he went directly upstairs to the painter's apartment, where a beautiful woman with gray hair was waiting for him, this woman I have never seen before."

"A beautiful woman with gray hair? Is she young or old? ”

"I felt like an old man, because I heard her voice, like a forty or fifty-year-old." The girl answered truthfully.

"That means that this woman looks very young on the outside, but in fact she is already an old man, right?"

"I can't be sure, but I can't tell my actual age at all."

"What exactly did they say, what was the woman's name?"

The man called her Aunt Luo, but her name was not said, she seemed to be apologizing to the young man, saying that she was sorry for his father or something, and then mentioned a person named Wu Weiyun, as if he had been emotionally involved with the man's father and Wu Weiyun. Women also mention going abroad or something, but I don't hear it very clearly. ”

"Anyway, the two of them didn't talk for long, and the man left, well... The woman stayed in the room for about ten minutes before leaving, and when she walked seemed very unhappy, I heard her sigh. Oh yes, I didn't hear it very clearly, but I felt like the woman was still crying. ”

The girl's story to Luo Yifan ended here, first of all, she revealed that she had been to the warehouse, but before Liu Yunzhao died, she was sent back to the apartment by plotting against Xie Yunmeng, who would do this, and what was the purpose of Liu Yunzhao's last use of the girl?

Secondly, she revealed Luo Lingling's information to Luo Yifan, Luo Lingling had met with a young man in the apartment a week before the murder, although Luo Yifan did not know Wu Weiyun and Luo Lingling, but this incident would definitely play a role in his reasoning.

Also, the girl mentioned the warehouse scene, Yun Yeyao also mentioned the warehouse and the garbage heap on the phone, but he didn't say that there was a homicide there, Luo Yifan vaguely felt that if Liu Yunzhao was really dead, then the warehouse should be a very critical place, maybe it was the scene of death.

Mr. Detective hid in the kitchen and waited while calculating the movements of the mysterious man, if the mysterious man went directly downstairs, it would not take him two minutes, if he did not show up after five minutes, then there were only two possibilities, first, he went out through the window of the stairwell, and second, he returned upstairs.

Then Xie Yunmeng's corresponding action will go directly upstairs from the inside of the house and knock on the door of other people's rooms, although disturbing in the middle of the night without explaining the reason will make the people who live here very angry, especially the lady, but Xie Yunmeng is for their safety. Moreover, Wen Yuan would definitely give Xie Yunmeng a round, because on the surface, she asked Xie Yunmeng to stay here to help. She also promised to do her best to help Mr. Criminal Police no matter what.

In this way, you can also directly know whether there are few people upstairs, and whether the male owner of the house, Fu Zhi, has gone back to his room to rest.

The best result is that Fu Zhi, Wen Yuan, Canglu Lu, Xu Qing and Bai Yun are all there, even if the mysterious person really went out through the stairwell window, Xie Yunmeng can also arrange for the male host to go directly to the East House to confirm the safety of the hostess, and let Wen Yuan help calm everyone's emotions here. And he has another thing to do, which is to determine which room Yong Poppy lives in. The arrangement of the room in Yong Poppy is strange, and until now, none of them have explicitly mentioned it.

Time passed minute by minute, Xie Yunmeng soon heard the footsteps walking into the living room, and the sound of a man humming softly, he couldn't hear the tune clearly, but Xie Yunmeng immediately heard the identity of the person who came. Instead of continuing to crouch in a place where he couldn't see the kitchen door, he stood up and poured himself a glass of water as if nothing had happened, and placed the small flashlight in his hand on the edge of the glass along with the key.

In less than a few seconds, a man's inquiring voice came from behind Xie Yunmeng: "Officer Xie, why are you here?" ”

Xie Yunmeng turned his head unhurriedly, and what he saw in front of him was the person he guessed, the male owner of the lavender villa, Fu Zhi. Fu Zhi was still wearing the clothes he had seen yesterday evening, and he was holding a large bouquet of lavender flowers in his arms.

"Oh, I can't sleep in the middle of the night, come here and get some water to drink." Xie Yunmeng replied, shaking the water cup in his hand.

"But why don't you turn on the lights?"

"There's no need to turn on the lights, I have a rechargeable flashlight on my key, which is very practical." Xie Yunmeng pointed to the top of the glazed platform and said, then he changed his words and asked Fu Zhi: "Aren't you going back to the East House to sleep?" Why is it still here? ”

I don't know how to find an inconspicuous place to prune, it's ugly! Complaining in her heart, An Lingxiang was about to turn around and walk in the direction of the West House, but she didn't expect her eyes to fall on the empty dirt, and in an instant, astonishment rose on her cheeks.

The black dirt is mixed with a blue-green plastic net, and if someone else sees it, they won't find it strange at all, but the hostess of the lavender villa is different, she knows the dirt too well, she has lived here since she was a child.

Astonishment brought doubts, and soon doubts turned into anger, An Lingxiang turned around and rushed in the direction of the Westinghouse, when her outstretched hand was about to touch the Westinghouse door, the door opened unexpectedly, and then a man's voice came: "Xiao An, did you see it?" ”

"Wu Xinghan ?!!"

——

On the evening of the second day of the Lavender House killings, inside the office next to the medical examiner's autopsy.

The first phase of the autopsy has come to an end, Yun Yeyao and Mo Haiyou are analyzing the results they get, Mo Haiyou pointed to the test report and said: "We didn't actually find any signs of poisoning from Liu Yun, and the snake bite wounds on her arms and the back of her hands were indeed artificial." The corpse had a calm expression and was not frightened before. ”

"I tested the tissues and blood of his pen, and Liu Yun had cancer before he was killed, and it was blood cancer. There are many factors that can cause cancer, such as the abuse of health products and drugs, long-term living in an environment with radiation, long-term use of substandard chemical products, overwork, or smoking and alcoholism. ”

For these factors, there are several points that can be ruled out, first, Liu Yun did not find tobacco and alcohol in her home, and there were no traces of health care products. Second, according to the neighbor's confession, Liu Yun usually lives a very leisurely life, and there is no sign of overwork. Third, the investigation of personal information shows that Liu Yun has never worked in a factory, so it is difficult to establish the theory that radiation causes cancer. ”

"Then the only reason left is the long-term use of substandard chemical products, so I also brought her cosmetics back to the police station for testing. However, the test results are very strange, they are all cosmetics produced by regular manufacturers, and there is no phenomenon of excessive heavy metals. ”

"Also, the dead cat corpses dug up in Liu Yun's house and in the nearby green belt are not all poisoned to death, although the surface is mechanical to death, but they are the same as Liu Yun, they are already terminally ill in time, even if they are not killers, they will not live long."

"We can expand the scope of the investigation, not only to the small high-rise building where Liu Yun lives, but also ask the residents in the surrounding buildings, as well as the employees in the shops and supermarkets inside and outside the community, and maybe we can get some of the answers we want."

The murderer threw Liu Yun's lower body in the trash, which really created a weird and terrifying feeling for witnesses, but also increased the risk of the murderer being discovered. Generally, a shrewd murderer will not take risks if not necessary. So I think the murderer is actually trying to cover up something with garbage. What do you think, Xiaozuo? ”

Although Yun Yeyao was asking Mo Haiyou, he actually had an answer in his heart, he just needed Mo Haiyou to use his professional knowledge to determine this answer.

Mo Haiyou's eyes kept staring at the test report, and there was a thick pile on the desk table, at this time he turned one of the pages and said: "There are many small scratches on the surface of Liu Yun's body skin, as well as scratches caused by dragging, but these are all caused when he was stuffed into the trash can after death. If you have to say what's on your skin? It can also have something to do with radiation. ”

"Liu Yun's skin below the shoulders is obviously dry and peeling, which is older than the face and shoulders. In other words, her face, shoulders and arms are very smooth and delicate on the surface because of the long-term use of moisturizing skin care products and deliberate makeup, but the skin that cannot be seen on her body is very dry and old. ”

Yun Yeyao said: "In this way, then my guess is somewhat possible." If the murderer wants to use the scratch marks after death to cover up Liu Yun's skin condition, doesn't that just mean that he wants to cover up all the traces left by the radiation on Liu Yun's body? If there are chemicals and heavy metals in Liu Yun's body, this cannot be covered up unless the murderer burns the body, just like a poisoned person cannot remove all the toxins in his body. ”

"So I agree with Xiao Zuo's point of view, the most likely cause of Liu Yun's cancer is radiation. I still think that Liu Yun has something to do with the illegal production of a certain enterprise, we must investigate his whereabouts at night, and Luo Yifan said that the worker sued the enterprise, and we must also fully investigate clearly, and no detail can be let go

The caller was Luo Yifan, who had just come out of the apartment where Liu Yunzhao lived and was now leaning against a place where no one had passed by.

"Yifan, have you found the address of that factory?" Yun Yeyao asked bluntly.

But unexpectedly, Luo Yifan on the phone was more direct than him, and asked him: "Before telling me about my investigation, Xiao Yao, I ask you to tell me honestly, where is Xie Yunmeng trapped?" ”

His words made Yun Yeyao stunned, Yun Yeyao didn't expect that Luo Yifan's investigation would progress so quickly! Even Mo Haiyou, who was on the side, showed a rare and incredible expression, and Mo Haiyou could hear the voice on the other end of the phone.

"How the hell do you know?" After thinking about it for a while, Yun Yeyao still threw the question back.

But Luo Yifan didn't seem to plan to stop there, he said: "You don't care how I know, answer my question." ”

"All I can say is that we are indeed investigating the homicide at the moment, and the information you have provided is very important to us, and a full and detailed investigation has begun into the case of workers suing the company. As for the rest, I will hear your answer before I can explain it to you. These words came from Mo Haiyou's mouth, and Yun Yeyao had already turned on the speakerphone.

"Well, let me tell you, in fact, I didn't think of any homicide at first, and after the call with Xiao Yao ended, I went directly to the lawyer in question, and in addition to learning the details of the worker's complaint, I also learned that the company was related to a person named Liu Yunzhao. And this Liu Yunzhao seems to be suspected of illegal fundraising and fraud. ”

But at present, the lawyers are only suspicious, and there is no way to collect more evidence. So after I came out of the law firm, I went straight to Liu Yunzhao's apartment. I got a very important clue when I got there, I think you went twice in a row, and you didn't find that the little girl who lived next door to Liu Yunzhao was actually an actress, right? And during this time, she was also hired by Liu Yunzhao. ”

"Actors? Hire? Could it be that ......" Yun Yeyao muttered in a low voice, and when he heard Luo Yifan's words, he immediately thought of Wen Yuan, an elderly woman in front of the warehouse who had induced Xie Yunmeng.

"Yifan, hurry up, hurry!"

Luo Yifan's tone was very sincere, and Yun Yeyao also hoped that Mo Haiyou would let him help Xie Yunmeng, so he stared at Mo Haiyou's side face, and the expression on that face couldn't change at all. After about a minute or so, Mo Haiyou spoke: "Mr. Luo, the information you provided is indeed very important to us, Xiao Yao and I will immediately rush to Liu Yunzhao's apartment and bring that girl back for questioning." ”

"You don't have to look for the factory in the suburbs for the time being, the police have launched a comprehensive investigation into the company to which the factory belongs, and I think it should only be a matter of time before the specific location is found. We hope you can help find a field of deep purple lavender flowers. Officer Xie was probably there, and during the day, the officers had conducted a massive search of all the nearby industrial parks and mountainous areas, but found nothing, so Xiao Yao and I thought that maybe someone who had nothing to do with the case would be more convenient to act. ”

"Mr. Luo, I now ask you to help me find the lavender flower field in my personal name, if you find any clues, please be sure to give feedback to me or Xiao Yao in time. But there is one thing, please don't take any risks, and if you find that your personal safety is at stake, you will stop the operation immediately, okay? ”

"Okay, I'll do it." Luo Yifan hung up the phone after speaking.

But Mo Haiyou understands that according to Luo Yifan's temperament, it is absolutely impossible to completely follow what he says, but what he says is like water spilled out, and Mo Haiyou will not regret or take it back. It's just that when he returned his phone to Mr. Actor, it was full of gratitude and thank you! Suddenly he felt a sour feeling in his heart.

In the end, Xie Yunmeng's position in Xiao Yao's heart still has to far surpass himself, what is the use of sharing the same life by himself? It's just brothers who are tied together. But Xie Yunmeng firmly occupies the throne of his lover, which is beyond people's reach.

It would be absolutely a lie to say that there is no jealousy, Mo Haiyou is also a person who grew up eating whole grains, how could he completely control his feelings? It's just a little deeper. What's right and who's wrong? How? Mo Haiyou's heart is like a mirror, if it weren't for his parents' affairs, Mo Haiyou would have competed fairly with Xie Yunmeng, he was just indifferent, not a coward who cowered.

Without thinking about it anymore, Mo Haiyou followed Yun Yeyao to stand up, the two of them packed up the report on the table and walked out of the office, the follow-up autopsy work can be handled by the assistant first, after Mo Haiyou greeted the person in charge of the task force, they set off with another police officer.

The fault is that the outcast's departure from him is not an emotional problem at all, but only because of greed. Realizing these two points, Bai Yun finally let go, and she began to circle around those men who liked her, including Liu Yunzhao and Xu Qing.

Liu Yunzhao is just a spare tire for her, just to improve the relationship with his sister Liu Yun to facilitate her own actions. Bai Yun herself didn't know when she actually reached a cooperation treaty with the outcast, and the reason was just for money.

In Bai Yun's heart, those unsightly deeds are not worth mentioning at all compared to money. Even if the demon strikes in front of her eyes, she will not be as timid and broken down as an ordinary woman.

As for Xu Qing, Bai Yun hopes that the two of them can go to the end, not because of how much love they have, but because Xu Qing is indeed a person who can be entrusted for life.

For Xu Qing, perhaps Bai Yun's pride and contempt made it difficult for him to accept. But for Bai Yun, pride and contempt are his own arms, a reason to give Xu Qing a reason to break up, and to leave a little last face for himself.

It's very simple, if Xu Qing finally feels that her personality is incompatible and wants to break up, it will also be because of her contempt, and she will never make Bai Yun feel sad and sad like before!

Bai Yun could see that Xu Qing didn't care about her, and it was money that made this man keep a dispensable attitude and continue to stay by her side. These Bai Yun didn't care, as long as the final agreement between her and the outcaster was completed, she would have a lifetime of money to bind Xu Qing in the future.

Bai Yun hurriedly smoked the cigarette in her hand, and her fingers painted with fragrant red nails shook a few times in the air, and after the smell of smoke faded, Bai Yun put on her coat and got up and walked out of the room, she couldn't stand the feeling of getting up in the morning and having a dry mouth, so she usually stayed in bed for a long time before going to wash.

When Bai Yun disappeared at the other end of the door, Xu Qingcai, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes, even if he and Bai Yun slept together, they rarely gave what they wanted, and it was the same last night, the two of them just chatted for a while and fell asleep separately. What's more, Bai Yun is not the kind of woman who will ask for it on the bed.

The mind was already clear, Xu Qing sat up with his hands on the edge of the bed, his eyes roughly swept the interior of the room, and he smelled a faint smell of smoke in his nasal cavity, Xu Qing sighed, relaxed his upper body and leaned on the headboard.

Xu Qing asked curiously on the side: "Officer Xie, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I heard the sound of people crawling in the flower field."

"The sound of someone crawling? It's impossible, maybe someone gets up early and walks in the flower field, the flower branches here grow very tall, if the girl gets up early, she usually walks into the depths of the flower field, and you can't see the figure, will you hear it wrong? Xu Qing pondered and said.

"Probably not!" Xie Yunmeng insisted on his opinion, with his experience, it was impossible to hear the wrong whether the people outside were walking or crawling, so Xie Yunmeng immediately turned around and walked in the direction of the living room, he wanted to see if anything was happening on the front of the house.

Xu Qing followed him and stepped into the living room with a few steps, the living room was no different from yesterday, and there was still a lavender bouquet left by Fu Zhi in the middle of the night on the table, because it was laid flat, so some of the water contained in the bottom of the bouquet flowed out, and it was slowly dripping to the floor along the corner of the table.

The two of them didn't care about this, Xie Yunmeng quickly bypassed the dining table and opened the door of the West House of the Lavender Villa, when the scene outside the door appeared in front of him from the first moment, Xie Yunmeng was angry, like a volcanic eruption, in the heart of Mr. Criminal Police, this red and hot anger almost drowned him, because there was not one person lying outside the door, but three people!

Of these three people, the first one can be sure that he is dead without looking too much. The second lay face down on the ground motionless, covered with dirt and blood, and the ground around him was already stained with a large patch of blood, and even if he did not die, it was estimated that the injury was not light.

The third is the person crawling on the ground, her upper body is lying on the steps in front of the door, the open wound can be clearly seen in the gap between her hair, the blood flowing from the top of her head makes it difficult for this person's eyes to open, she wants to get up and knock on the door, but she has no strength to move forward for another half a minute!

Obviously searched in the lavender field last night, obviously watched all the people return to the room safely, obviously he stayed on the second floor of the Westinghouse all night and didn't find anyone going out, and Xie Yunmeng stayed by the most suspicious Fu Zhi in the second half of the night, why could the murderer attack three people in one go?!

Xie Yunmeng tried his best to control his anger and chagrin, he had never made such a major mistake, the murderer had done so many things under his nose, he didn't even realize it, what qualifications did he have to be a criminal policeman?!!

"Xu Qing, you immediately go upstairs and call everyone up, quick! From now on, everything here is under my command, and no one who is alive is allowed to touch anything in the house, and must meet in the living room within ten minutes!! ”

If the man returned to his room in the middle of the night, footprints could only appear at the door of the room, and Xie Yunmeng clearly remembered that Fu Zhi was wearing slippers. Now the footprints left on the windowsill are obviously caused by the soles of leather shoes, so it cannot be ruled out that someone sneaked in while Fu Zhi was not in the room.

Bai Yun is very sure that the person who attacked him is the male owner Fu Zhi, but in the current situation, Xie Yunmeng can't determine the facts based on the words of the family, the most important thing is to see what the hostess An Lingxiang said after waking up? If the two people speak in unison, then the suspicion of Fu Zhi will rise greatly; If the two people do not agree, according to common sense, Xie Yunmeng should be more inclined to An Lingxiang's confession, because An Lingxiang is the person who is most familiar with Fu Zhi in this room.

Xie Yunmeng glanced at the situation in the bathroom, except that the faucet was not turned off, there was no other abnormality inside. As he was leaving, he also rummaged through the drawers in the room, looking for medicines and gauze, but found nothing.

So he went back to the front of the warehouse, and kicked the door open with the same kick, and the warehouse was empty, but the rest of the room was exactly the same as last night, the ground was littered with the lavender bouquets they had made last night, the dust on the large box in the corner should have not been wiped off, and there were no footprints on the windowsill that anyone had turned in and out.

After confirming these two places, Xie Yunmeng returned to the living room on the first floor, and he said to Wen Yuan and Canglu Lulu, who were at a loss: "The two ladies work hard, hurry up and find out if there is gauze and medicine here?" Bandage the wounded, especially the hostess, take care of them, please! ”

"Officer Xie, don't worry, we'll do a good job." Wen Yuan immediately stood up and assured, and she pulled Canglu Lu and started rummaging in the living room and kitchen.

Xie Yunmeng turned to Xu Qing again and said, "You take care of the injured here, don't go away, I'll go to the East House to find Fu Zhi, and I'll be back soon." ”

After saying that, Xie Yunmeng did not choose the door to leave the West House, but reflexively returned to the stairwell, he didn't want Wen Yuan and Canglu Lu Lu to see the corpse of the poppy outside the door, so as not to frighten them again.

After coming outside from the stairwell window, Xie Yunmeng quickly walked around to the front of the room, and when he was about to open the door of the east house, his gaze swept over the gap between the two rooms, the gap was about the width of a person's shoulder, and the windows of the three rooms on the second floor of the west house were facing here.

"Can you let me into your room and have a look?" Xie Yunmeng asked.

"Yes, please come in." Fu Zhi let go of his body a little, he didn't want to refute any of the questions raised by Xie Yunmeng, because he didn't feel that necessary, he just wanted to know what was going on in this house.

Xie Yunmeng walked into the room, the traces here were not deliberately covered up, they were still exactly the same as what he saw in the early hours of the morning, and there were even two more places, as if someone had to sit down and take responsibility for the crime.

Yes, Xie Yunmeng's feeling at the moment is like this, everything came too suddenly, and it was too direct, the clues and evidence, including the dead, were surprisingly unified and pointed at Fu Zhi, these could never have been made by Fu Zhi himself, no matter whether Fu Zhi had done anything or not? There must be another person who wants to plant all the blame on him.

After standing in the center of the room and looking around, Xie Yunmeng walked out of the room by himself, Fu Zhi naturally walked out with him, Xie Yunmeng said: "Mr. Fu, please follow me downstairs, there is a serious criminal case downstairs, I hope to hear your confession as soon as possible." ”

"Strict, serious criminal case ?!!" Fu Zhi blurted out, his steps suddenly stagnant, and his fear grew like weeds.

Xie Yunmeng turned his head, and Mr. Criminal Police's aggressive eyes made Fu Zhi instantly feel like a bird in a cage, and he had no way out, so he could only follow Mr. Criminal Police downstairs to face unknown questions.

Things always seem to like to happen at the same moment, when Xie Yunmeng and Fu Zhi walked downstairs, An Lingxiang actually woke up in a daze, she saw Fu Zhi approaching and did not show a scared look like Bai Yun, but stretched out her hands and hugged her boyfriend's waist tightly, crying non-stop.

From An Lingxiang's reaction, it can be seen that it is absolutely impossible for Fu Zhi to attack her, because Fu Zhi is much more difficult to hide in front of her than in front of Bai Yun.

Xie Yunmeng brought everyone together, she moved a chair and sat on the edge of the sofa, and first began to ask Fu Zhi for his confession.

An Lingxiang continued: "Wu Xinghan seems to have climbed into Xiao Zhi's room from the window, he said that he was not discovered by anyone, and he wanted to hide in the lavender villa for a day, and he would leave the next night, I was scared at first, and I didn't want to believe his words. Moreover, I found that the walls of the windowsill in the room were all footprints left by Wu Xinghan. ”

But he swore that he would only stay one day, and that he would leave tonight. I was alone with him in the room, and I was afraid that he would hurt me, so I reluctantly agreed to his request. Put him in a warehouse where no one lives. ”

"I also proposed to let Xiao Zhi go to the East House last night, and Xiao Zhi never objected to my request, so after he nodded and agreed, I didn't worry about this matter anymore."

Xie Yunmeng asked, "What are you worried about?" Are you worried that there will be a conflict between Mr. Fu and Wu Xinghan after they meet? Also, since Wu Xinghan is someone Mr. Fu knows, why didn't he ask Mr. Fu for help when he entered the Lavender Villa? And came to you for help? ”

"Actually......" An Lingxiang was a little speechless and stopped, she turned her head to look at Fu Zhi at the kitchen door, as if asking him if he wanted to say it. Fu Zhi looked very calm, and nodded slightly to An Lingxiang.

Although the hostess is usually very willful, at the critical moment, it can be seen that she still cares about Fu Zhi, for fear that she will say something wrong? Let Fu be embarrassed.

Without stopping An Lingxiang's interaction with Fu Zhi, Xie Yunmeng let Wen Yuan sit next to her and Canglulu, so that she could take care of her at any time, An Lingxiang was covered with dirt and bloodstains, and there were bloodshots overflowing from the corners of her mouth and ears, so Xie Yunmeng was worried that she would be even more than Bai Yun.

Bai Yun shrunk in the corner of the sofa covering the wound on her head, she glanced at Fu Zhi in the kitchen from time to time, and the deep fear in her eyes lingered. So I had to get as close as possible to Mr. Criminal Police to find a sense of security, and the breakfast that Fu Zhi cooked in the kitchen, it seemed that Bai Yun would never dare to eat it at this time.

An Lingxiang's narration continued, and from his words, everyone not only learned about the situation when Wu Xinghan sneaked into the house last night, but also learned that Wu Xinghan actually appeared at the gate of the West House at 5 o'clock this morning, which is a bit too unbelievable.

Wu Xinghan appeared at the gate of the West House in the morning, he directly attacked An Lingxiang who met him, and then fled with the exclusive lavender bush, which was An Lingxiang's last memory so far.

Wu Xinghan couldn't stand my cynicism, and wanted to beat me on the spot, but was persuaded by Liu Yunzhao. The end result of this incident was that Liu Yunzhao and Wu Xinghan left the lavender villa with the paintings, and I still didn't get a penny back. ”

When Xie Yunmeng heard the word painter, he immediately thought of the mysterious painter hiding in the warehouse, and the painter who lived with Liu Yunzhao, could these two people be the same person? So Xie Yunmeng asked: "Do you know where Wu Xinghan's studio is?" ”

"Studio?" Fu Zhi showed a mocking look and replied: "Where did he come from a studio, he doesn't even have a place to live, he lives in a warehouse next to the garbage recycling station, and he usually has nothing to do except sell paintings for Liu Yunzhao!" The monthly living expenses are still paid to him by Liu Yunzhao. ”

"So Liu Yunzhao is very rich?" Xie Yunmeng asked.

"No, Liu Yunzhao himself is also a jobless vagrant, and most of his income is made by buying paintings for others to earn the difference, which can be regarded as a middleman. However, I don't know why Wu Xinghan's painting skills are so poor, and Liu Yunzhao is still willing to raise him. ”

Fu Zhi seemed to guess what question Xie Yunmeng was going to ask next, so he answered first, and the last sentence was actually to tell Xie Yunmeng that he knew so much, and other things, especially what was the shady affair between Wu Xinghan and Liu Yunzhao? He didn't know anything.

Before asking Bai Yun for his confession, Xie Yunmeng certainly wouldn't believe Fu Zhi so easily. So when Fu Zhi returned to the kitchen and continued to make breakfast, Xie Yunmeng turned his head to look at Bai Yun, this woman had been in a state of panic, and the source of his panic was Fu Zhi, which anyone with a discerning eye could see.

Xie Yunmeng asked Bai Yun: "Are you feeling better now?" ”

“…… Not bad. Bai Yun didn't know how to answer, this usually arrogant woman, at a critical moment, was just a beautiful lantern with papier-mâché, and her heart was actually extremely fragile.

She looked at Xie Yunmeng's eyes and said: "I don't know why I got up early this morning, I have always felt very uneasy, I came to the living room to wash up at about half past five, there was no one in the living room at that time, but I could vaguely see a figure shaking outside the window, I thought it was Xiangxiang who lived in the building next door, so I took the initiative to help her open the door." ”

"But I didn't expect the door to open before it was straight, and I saw something flashing brightly overhead, if I hadn't squatted down in a hurry, I guess my life would be dead now. Because it was so sudden, I didn't fall down immediately, but ran out the door after my attacker. ”

Mr. Detective's gray brain cells spun rapidly, thinking, while Bai Yun opposite him just shook his head, unable to answer a single question at all.

Bai Yun didn't know why this was the case, in her eyes, it was almost a sure fact that Fu Zhi was a prisoner, no matter how unreasonable there were, there was no way to change Fu Zhi was the one who attacked her, Bai Yun believed that she would never be wrong.

Xie Yunmeng waited for a while, and saw that Bai Yun really couldn't answer his question, so he changed the way he asked and said, "Miss Bai, did the murderer have a panicked look on his face when he looked back at you?" ”

"Yes, when he saw me chasing after me, he seemed to be very panicked, and even his hand holding the knife was shaking."

"So do you think the direction of his escape is clear? Or do you not know which direction to run in at all, and hesitate to look back at you? All you have to do is tell me whether the answer is the former or the latter. ”

"Hmm...... I think it's the former. ”

"Do you want to? That is, you can't be sure of the correctness of the answer, you're just guessing for yourself, right? ”

"Yes, I said that at the beginning I squatted on the ground, but I felt that the murderer had escaped, and I didn't really see the murderer's face clearly. And at that time, Fu Zhi was drilling into the lavender flower field. ”

"In this way, if it is indeed Fu Zhi who attacked you, it can barely make sense. But have you thought about it? Why did the man of the lavender villa attack the guests in front of his house so blatantly? Taking a step back, even if Fu Zhi escaped from the lavender bushes, how did he return to the villa? “

"You know, Miss Bai, when you were attacked, Fu Zhi was being hung outside the windowsill, and in just one hour from five o'clock to six o'clock, after attacking two people, he would hang himself outside the windowsill on the second floor, do you think this is possible? So I still want to ask you to think about it, can you confirm the identity of the murderer? ”

"I can ......."

Bai Yun blurted out, and was about to continue, when An Lingxiang on the side suddenly retorted sharply: "You can't be sure at all, I know the little responsibility best, he will definitely not do that kind of crazy thing!" And what is the petty blame attacking you for? He has no grievances with you, and he even speaks very little, I can't think of it, what will be the relationship between you? ”

"I don't know! Xiangxiang, please don't accuse me like that? I'm just talking about the facts I see, as for what your boyfriend's motives are? That's something Mr. Detective needs to figure out, what's the use of you asking me? I'm also a victim, can you please think about it for me? After saying it in one breath, Bai Yun felt a splitting headache, and she couldn't control her emotions anymore, so she cried on the edge of the sofa.

"Don't make up stories and talk nonsense," Bai Yun immediately choked and responded to him: "It's obviously your own crime, and when Mr. Criminal Police can't find out the results, you have a weak heart, so you can hold back such a reason to fool us." ”

"You didn't even look at the kitchen just now, you just need to break the bracket behind the range hood and move the smoke exhaust pipe a little, and no one will find out your trick!" Bai Yun's unrelenting reluctance made Fu Zhi almost unable to control his temper.

An Lingxiang is being treated by Wen Yuan at the moment, so there is no way to help her boyfriend refute it, so she can only stare at Bai Yun on the sofa with dry eyes, signaling her not to talk about it, and it is better to say a few words. However, whether An Lingxiang is glaring, angry, sad, etc., her eyes will always look like a little girl full of resentment.

Bai Yun didn't care if An Lingxiang was angry or not! Seeing that everyone gave her three points, the words that came out of her mouth became more and more harsh, and she was about to say a few more words to ease the anger in her heart, but before the words could be spoken, Xu Qing's hand covered Bai Yun's mouth.

"What are you doing, Xiaoqing, didn't you see that they were about to let the murderer go?" Bai Yun roared angrily at Xu Qing, although the volume was not high, but the grievances revealed were very strong.

Xu Qing replied: "Mr. Criminal Police will not let the murderer go, he can't make a conclusion based on your words, at least after investigating this house first, right?" ”

Because it was daytime, after the fear of being attacked dissipated a little, the arrogance in Bai Yun's bones returned, she put on a very confident appearance, and glared angrily at Fu Zhi who was walking towards Xu Qing and her.

Fu Zhi's expression looked a little cold, Xu Qing suddenly became nervous, and moved his body slightly to protect Bai Yun's front. He wanted to open his mouth to say a few words of trust to Fu Zhi, but when the words came to his lips, the opportunity was snatched away by the male owner of the lavender villa.

Fu Zhi stood behind Wen Yuan and said, "Sister Yun, I want to ask you a question, okay?" ”

"What, what!"

"When Mr. Detective can't find out the results, why should I use those extra hands and feet to arouse your suspicions?"

“……”

Bai Yun was stunned by his question, Fu Zhi's words have a certain truth, since he can't find out the results, why do you need to do anything to the range hood in the kitchen. If this kind of thing is not done well, it will speed up the pace of the suspect being discovered!

Fu Zhi continued: "Although you were attacked just now, you didn't fall into a coma immediately, and the gap in the kitchen range hood pipe is on the same wall as the door, how can I do something there?" ”

'I should tie something up first, so it can easily collapse at any time.' Fu Zhi thought to himself, looking around the kitchen, hoping to find the right thing.

However, this seemed to make him a little difficult, first of all, because he wasn't very good at repairing these things. Secondly, there is a fulcrum on the bracket behind the range hood that is broken, but it is not completely broken, and Fu Zhisheng is afraid that if he touches it, it will be troublesome if it is all broken.

When the man who was in the lavender villa was in a dilemma, the sliding door of the kitchen opened as if he had sensed, and it was Xu Qing who walked in, he approached the range hood without saying a word, and then said to Fu Zhi, who was standing in front of the kitchen counter in a daze: "I'll also come to help." ”

"What's so embarrassing about that? You should comfort Sister Yun outside. Fu Zhi responded, and his face had already regained a modest expression.

Xu Qing glanced at him and continued, "Sister Yun is fine, Sister Wen is taking care of her!" To be honest, they let me in, and I don't want to say much about why. ”

“…… It's okay," Fu Zhi instantly showed a wry smile, Xu Qing has a little advantage in this person, that is, there is no special need, and things will not be beaten around the bush.

"Then you can help me see how to repair this range hood bracket, I just can't think of any way."

Fu Zhi stepped aside, so that Xu Qing could carefully observe the range hood, Xu Qing suddenly stepped on the kitchen table and stood firmly, the kitchen table here is not high, but when Fu Zhi was washing the dishes just now, he splashed a lot of water stains on it, and now it is a little slippery.

Xu Qing held on to the edge of the wall with one hand, carefully bypassed the scattered things on the kitchen counter with both feet, and gently lifted the range hood up with one hand, and when the machine fell again, it did not continue to collapse as Fu Zhi thought, but returned to the way it was just now.

After Xu Qing stayed for a minute or two, he jumped down from the glass table in the kitchen and said to Fu Zhi: "It's no big problem, it won't collapse for the time being, you can rest assured!" ”

"Then let him hang like this?" Fu asked.

Xu Qing said: "You hurry up and clean up the things on the countertop first, wait a minute, you hold the range hood steady, I will repair the bracket at the back, do you have tools and tape here?" ”

"Yes. Why don't you sit on the side for a while, there's a stool over there, and I'll get it to you when I'm done." ”

However, in this lavender villa incident, what Luo Yifan wants to exclude is precisely the words that Xie Yunmeng and Yun Yeyao said that are closer to the truth.

For example, do lavender fields really exist? Luo Yifan believes that there is no doubt about this, whether the police find it or not, Xie Yunmeng has seen the flower field with his own eyes. According to the description of the detective, it was a large field of dark purple flowers, located on the front of the house.

When Xie Yunmeng saw the flower field, it was during the day, and the light was abundant at that time, and it was absolutely impossible to fake it with equipment such as projections.

At that time, the situation of the blood house in the Luo Que House was completely different, it was in the middle of the night, and it was on the second floor of the villa, when there was no light in the room, and the projector faked the illusion. The two things are very different in terms of environment, location, and difficulty of implementation.

Coupled with the huge clods of dirt that Yun Yeyao found near the warehouse, Luo Yifan thought that the fact of the existence of the lavender flower field did not need to be proved, nor did he need to search according to Xie Yunmeng's description, all he had to do was to figure out what was hiding the existence of the flower field.

In this regard, Luo Yifan did not have a specific explanation, he decided to take one step at a time, first determine the target location, and then squat there.

Why crouch down instead of going straight to the target? Of course, this Luo Yifan has his own reasons, and when his action is completed, everyone will naturally know the reason.

Midnight is indeed the best time to uncover the secret of the lavender flower field, not only Luo Yifan, but at this moment, Yun Yeyao and Mo Haiyou have also begun to get close to the truth.

So what is Mi Xiaodong doing? After the merger of the two sides of the case, Mi Xiaodong's task was to focus on investigating the past of Wu Weiyun and Luo Lingling, as well as re-interrogating and collecting evidence from all those involved in the car accident.

The afternoon of the second day after the Lavender House killings

After the police arranged to go out, Mi Xiaodong sat in the living room of Wu Weiyun's house all afternoon, he didn't want to frighten this not very tough old man, just asked him about the past and his relationship with Luo Lingling like chatting.

Wu Weiyun really has nothing to hide, and he also hopes that the police can restore the truth about his daughter's death, but when Luo Lingling is mentioned, Wu Weiyun looks a little angry. Mi Xiaodong can see that he was deeply hurt back then.

Mi Xiaodong's question, to be honest, Wu Weiyun was also very confused, he said: "So far, what is that young man going to do? Why is it missing? I don't know at all, I heard his parents say that he wanted to avenge my daughter, but back then, he obviously had the opportunity to save my daughter, but he chose to chase the perpetrator, not only did both of them disappear, but also caused my daughter to die violently in the lavender bushes. ”

"It stands to reason that I should hate him, but over the years, I have become more and more worried about him, and I don't know why, there is always a feeling that he really didn't do anything bad, so I must find out the truth of the original facts to feel at ease."

"To tell you the truth," Wu Weiyun looked at the loofah vine at the door in a daze, and said thoughtfully, "I think even if he kills someone, it is unlikely that he will send the body parts to me." It's not good for me or for him, is it? Officer Mi. ”

Wu Weiyun is not wrong, the body pieces are sent to his door, the police will definitely bring up the past, Wu Weiyun does not know many people, as far as the general judgment is concerned, either Wu Weiyun himself killed someone, or someone related to the car accident that year killed someone.

This seems absurd, but in fact it is very simple, Wu Weiyun's circle of friends is like a seed bag, if it is filled with all kinds of seeds, the police can pick them one by one, eliminate those irrelevant seeds, and pick out the seeds that are closest to the truth.

If there are only one or two seeds in the empty space, then there is no need to rule them out, and the police can only single out these two seeds for investigation.

Therefore, if the murderer is really the person who disappeared in the car accident back then, he will not have any benefit in sending the body parts to Wu Weiyun at all, and may even set himself on fire.

Mi Xiaodong and Wu Weiyun talked for about five more minutes, Mi Xiaodong's mobile phone rang, he glanced at the screen, avoided Wu Weiyun and walked outside to the courtyard to answer the phone.

The call was from Yun Yeyao, and it was almost dusk on Mi Xiaodong's side at this moment, and Yun Yeyao and Mo Haiyou were going to the police car of Liu Yunzhao's apartment.

After getting in touch, Yun Yeyao didn't talk nonsense, and asked Mi Xiaodong directly: "Xiaodong, let me ask you a few questions, you just need to answer yes or no, did Mr. Wu tell you his daughter's name?" ”

Wu Weiyun gestured at the edge of the wooden box with the key, but did not open it in one breath, he was hesitating whether to unravel the scars of the past and let Luo Lingling re-enter his life.

Before this, Wu Weiyun did meet Luo Lingling once, and it was not recently, but a year ago, when Luo Lingling had just returned to China. At that time, the stubborn Wu Weiyun was unwilling to forgive Luo Lingling at all, turned around and left, not giving her a chance to explain at all.

can be stubborn and stubborn, Wu Weiyun does still have feelings for Luo Lingling, so since this year, Wu Weiyun has brought his daughter's urn into the room every night. The urn contains not only his thoughts about his daughter, but also things that must not be taken away by others.

He knew that Luo Lingling returned to China to renew the old friendship with him, and secondly, to the truth of the year.

'How can I tell you the truth?' They have been through so much, and now, what are you doing back? Trembling Weiwei inserted the key into the keyhole, Wu Weiyun squinted his eyes and thought, this thought made his heart overflow with sadness in an instant.

A voice seemed to be shouting at him, telling him to face the truth and tell the police everything he knew and guessed. Wu Weiyun bent down and sighed, the lock on the box was easy to open, but what about the lock in his heart?

Killing people is not a joke, Yun Yeyao told him at the time that he was just invited to be a guest, and nothing broke the law, so he hoped that Yun Yeyao would investigate the truth of the year.

But now, Wu Weiyun is afraid, he is afraid of the terrible corpse, afraid of the murder incident that he is inexplicably involved in! No matter what, he couldn't tell the police the name he had missed all his life.

Dark brown tin birds, intricately carved keys, plain square boxes, and a thin gold necklace interspersed with small holes in the edge of the box are all relics left by her daughter.

At the end of the necklace, there is an oval pendant, on which is inlaid with a small piece of emerald, although it is not a very valuable gemstone, in Wu Weiyun's mind, it is the 'hope of the muse' that is more important than his life.

After opening the lid a little bit, taking off the necklace, and then putting it into the box along with the charms, Wu Weiyun breathed a sigh of relief. He lowered the box to his lap and stroked it gently.

Soon, the room was pitch black, and even the sound of pins falling on the floor could be heard. At the door of Wu Weiyun's house, a familiar figure was slowly approaching, and the clock was striking seven o'clock at night......

"Because ......" Wen Yuan first said the past identities of the two young people in this house, these two people have an inseparable relationship with herself, and if it is finally proved that one of them was involved in the crime, Wen Yuan may also be charged with a cover-up. （…… The hidden truth will be revealed in the final reasoning part, which cannot be revealed in a hurry at this time. ）

But Wen Yuan didn't seem to care about this, or rather, she seemed to be very sure that the two people she said would definitely not commit crimes.

While listening to Xie Yunmeng, he connected with the scene when Wen Yuan asked him for help before, and immediately had a further guess in his heart.

Wen Yuan continued: "These two people, one is living in seclusion here because of his father's affairs, and the other is because of his thoughts of love, so he has been reluctant to return to his previous life. Both were people I knew very well, and I absolutely didn't believe that any of them would kill anyone. ”

"But Ms. Wen, whether a person has committed a crime or not cannot be determined by your one-sided words, the truth needs evidence to prove, so I can't rule out their suspicious identity at present." Xie Yunmeng could see that Wen Yuan was a very affectionate woman, so what she said needed to be carefully considered.

Hearing Xie Yunmeng's response, Wen Yuan hurriedly said, "I don't want you to rule out their suspicious identities, I just want to provide clues that I know." Officer Xie, I told you before, and I am here to find out the truth of some things, so I will fully cooperate with your investigation. ”

"Is the truth of your so-called incident about a past car accident?" Xie Yunmeng asked.

"Half of them are," Wen Yuan replied, but the other half of the reason she didn't go on to describe it, but shifted the answer to the question. "I have been married twice in the past, and the first marriage was because of my willfulness and betrayed my husband, and as a result, I lost both my money and my money. The second marriage was also dissolved because of my betrayal, and I left the city with my husband's money for my own longing. ”

"I don't want to say more about the specific circumstances of these two marriages, first, it has nothing to do with the case, and secondly, it is easy for the police to investigate it later, and the parties involved will also appear in front of you, so there is no need to describe them in detail now. Officer Xie, do you remember the name I said earlier? ”

"Remember, he's your first husband, right?"

"Yes, in this villa there is a person with whom I am and who are both related by blood. I've only told Officer Xie about this person's name, please don't tell anyone else for the time being, I want to be able to protect them, not break them up. ”
