Xie Yunmeng stood at the door of the room, listening carefully, and after a while, the sound of a person moving barefoot came from the room, the voice was very soft, and if it wasn't for his full attention, he couldn't hear it at all.

Before Xie Yunmeng walked out of the room, he had quietly observed all the places in the room where people could hide, so he knew in his heart who was moving at this time? The people in the room didn't walk towards the door, they only moved a few steps before stopping, and then Xie Yunmeng heard some rustling sounds that seemed to be clothes rubbing.

After the rustling stopped, the slight footsteps began to sound again, this time only a few steps before stopping, and then there was the sound of rubbing again, a little different from the previous one, lighter and more careful, each friction was very brief, and there was still almost no way to hear clearly.

The people in the room were moving for about ten minutes, and then they couldn't hear any sound, and Xie Yunmeng couldn't be sure if he had slipped outside through the window, so he raised his hand and tapped on the door a few times, waiting for a response.

The people inside didn't seem to hear it, but they still didn't say a word, Xie Yunmeng continued to raise his hand and knock on the door, and it wasn't until the third time that he heard the footsteps coming towards him.

The Lavender House killings at 7:15 a.m. the next morning

Fu Zhi, who was in a daze in the room, heard a knock on the door, his heart skipped a beat, he didn't know why he was so scared this morning, maybe it was not just because of those footprints on the bathroom and the wall and finger prints, but he couldn't think of any other reason.

When the knock on the door rang for the third time, Fu Zhi finally moved his steps and opened the door, there was a serious criminal police officer standing at the door, Fu Zhi didn't ask, just looked at Xie Yunmeng's eyes and waited for him to speak.

"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.

——

Fu Zhi's confession:

"Before I met Officer Xie last night, I had been making lavender bouquets alone in the warehouse, and no one could prove to me at that time, everyone had already returned to the room, and I was the last to go upstairs, as for why I stayed in the warehouse to work, I have already explained the reason to Officer Xie."

"I can only guarantee that I am not lying, and at about one or two o'clock in the evening, I felt tired, so I went downstairs to find something to eat, and it was at this time that I met Officer Xie. He went to the kitchen before me, and then Officer Xie offered to help, and we went back to the warehouse together, and until this morning, I remember not leaving the warehouse. ”

"And what did you do yesterday afternoon and evening?" Xie Yunmeng asked.

Fu Zhi thought for a moment and said, "I was doing housework with the maid normally yesterday afternoon, um... I quarreled with Xiangxiang twice, once in Xiangxiang's room in the East House, and once in the stairwell here, but there were no witnesses, and Xiangxiang and I were both in a bad mood at that time. ”

"The first quarrel was after lunch, after which I left the East House and didn't go in until this morning, and the second quarrel was before I met Officer Xie, probably when the maid was close to leaving work."

"Did you ever go back to your room in the meantime?" Xie Yunmeng asked.

"No, I've been busy in the living room, and Xiangxiang spends the rest of the time watching them play cards in the lavender field except for staying in her room in the afternoon."

"And what did you do this morning?"

Fu Zhi had no memory of what happened in the morning, he said that when he woke up, he found himself lying in his room, as for how he got back to the room? He didn't know anything.

Then Fu Zhi recounted in detail everything he saw in the room when he got up at 5 o'clock in the morning, and his description of the bloody footprints left on the bathroom floor and the marks on the windowsill of the wall were exactly the same as what Xie Yunmeng saw, so Xie Yunmeng thought that he did not deliberately hide it.

Finally, Xie Yunmeng asked, "When I knocked on the door just now, why didn't you come out and open the door right away?" ”

"That's because I was stunned, the morning was so weird, there were traces of blood in the bathroom, room and windowsill everywhere that I hadn't seen before, and I was standing in the middle of the room at that time, not knowing what I was thinking. And this! ”

As he spoke, Fu Zhi stretched out his hands towards Xie Yunmeng, and on his wrists, there were several deep strangulation marks, and Fu Zhi said, "How did I get this one?" I don't have any impression at all, let alone anything else! ”

"Okay, Mr. Fu, please go and prepare breakfast for everyone now, and let Miss Canglu Lu take care of Miss An."

Fu Zhi obediently stood up and handed over his girlfriend to Canglu Lu, and Wen Yuan beside them also reached out to help, so that An Lingxiang, who had not yet stabilized her emotions, lay down in Canglu Lulu's arms smoothly.

Mr. Criminal Police's next target of inquiry was the most innocent lavender villa hostess, and it was in her mouth that Xie Yunmeng learned of the eighth person hidden, who was Wu Xinghan who Xu Qing had always wanted to find.
