"After I disappeared, Xiao Zuo quickly calmed down, he asked Xiao Meng to go to the teacher's house to find me, and he continued to investigate in the woods, which made the two people in the house fall into a sense of crisis again, after settling Mingyue, they had no reason to stop Xiao Zuo from going out, at this time, Mingyue was also worried, Mingyue was very smart, she should have guessed where I was."

"Of course, she thinks differently from the other two people, she hopes to save me as soon as possible and avoid irreparable consequences, but at that time, Mingyue couldn't do this by herself, so she could only find the only person to ask for help, which was the real Wei Haohua hidden in the attic by him and Xiao Wei, her brother."

"I guess that for so many years, the family's source of income has come from Xiaohua, and the aunt's son is lazy to do it, but Xiaohua is not, he goes out to work during the day and lives in the attic at night under the cover of his sister. Xiao Zuo and I went up to the attic to see that the old furniture there was full of dust and should not have been cleaned for a long time, so we can be sure that your aunt will not go to the attic very often, or even never. ”

"The floor of the attic was covered with straw, and there were bricks underneath it, so as to prevent footsteps from reaching downstairs. Xiao Zuo and I turned over all the straw, and there was no brick under one of them, which was exactly the size of a bed, and the straw was very thick, and there were cotton blankets and bedding hidden underneath, which should be the place where Xiao Hua slept. ”

"Xiaohua gave all her income to Mingyue, and Mingyue gave her income to her aunt to supplement the family, and the aunt should give the extra money every month to her son, otherwise anyway, rely on the money that was plundered? It won't be enough for Xiao Wei to drive the car. Mothers always love their children, and no matter how many things the child does wrong, the mother's love will not be flawed. ”

"After Mingyue returned to her room, she immediately notified her brother in the attic and asked him to go out to save me. But it backfired, first, I had been rescued by the teacher. Second, Xiao Hua didn't go out to save me at all, but to use this incident to get rid of the other two people in this house, at least Xiao Wei. ”

"After I was rescued, I grabbed a rotten finger, which should have been broken off the body of the person who had stumbled before, and had nothing to do with the murder, but it was impossible for us to think at the time, this finger made me and Xiao Meng very nervous, and we were determined to rush back to the red star as soon as possible to prevent the incident from expanding again."

"We deliberately lowered the voice of the speech to make Xiaohua worried, so we wanted to hear more, and it was precisely because of his reluctance to eavesdrop that Xiaomeng had a chance to catch him."

"So far, everything from last night has been explained. The aunt's vision was blinded by her son, and she had not found out about the missteps over the years. It wasn't until the last few years that she always saw Mingyue running into the woods in the middle of the night, only to realize that there was another thing of stumbling and drowning, she thought that this was all because Mingyue no longer concealed her appearance and became more and more similar to her mother. ”

"When Auntie felt that her son was destined to be arrested by us, the resentment in her heart also began to ferment, she was reluctant to hurt Mingyue, after all, Mingyue was a child brought up by herself, so she could only trick Mingyue's mother into coming here, ready to do a hundred. She thinks that as long as Mingyue's mother really disappears, the bad luck in this house will disappear with her, and this is the only way her son will not go to jail. ”

At this point, Yun Yeyao's overall reasoning finally came to an end, he raised his head, looked at the house called Red Star, and suddenly asked Aunt Wei on the side: "Aunt Wei, I don't think the name you gave this house is very close." ”

"I know what you want to ask? The sunset can only bring red, but this red is not like the stars, and the stars are not necessarily cross-shaped, although we compare the doji to a dagger, but why not call the house a red doji, but a red star, right? ”

What Aunt Wei said was not wrong at all, Yun Yeyao nodded, indicating that she just wanted to ask this. Yang Yang's grandmother stood up with the child in her arms and said, "Come with me to the grove, after sitting for so long, it's time to go out and breathe." ”

A group of people followed Aunt Wei out of the house one after another, and the sun was shining outside at the moment, just like their relaxed mood. Aunt Wei led everyone into the grove, and she looked down at the ground.

The girl sat alone in a beautiful lavender field, holding a book about love in her hand, it was a book wrapped in a blue cover, and it was not clear what the cover looked like, but she felt that the book was very thick, and the girl's fingers were just halfway up to it.

There was a beautiful bookmark sandwiched inside the book, the bookmark was blue, like the color of the sea, and the girl unconsciously fiddled with the bookmark, and her eyes were not focused on the book. She's not reading a book, she's looking at the world in the distance? In the field of purple flowers in the distance, a man was drawing. The man's brush stays in the void, with only a few lines on the drawing board, as if he is scribbling at random.

After looking at it for a long time, the girl stood up and greeted her with a smile and a voice that was crisp and pleasant, like a silver bell.

"Jinghong, are you done painting?" The man named Jinghong raised his head when he heard the voice, looked at the lively and lovely girl, and also said loudly, "Not yet." ”

"Show me how much I've drawn!" The girl went on to say that the man on the other side of the street, apparently, did not want her to look at the painting, so he immediately shouted: "Don't come, just sit there and read, I will come to you when I finish painting." ”

"Jinghong, I'm going to be angry if I don't leave." Although the girl said this, her body did not mean to leave at all, and she sat back in her original place, and continued to open her blue-covered book, which was densely packed with words as if it were a spell to freeze her, and for a long time the girl did not speak again, nor did she speak again.

In the place where the girl couldn't see, Jing Hong blocked his other hand with a drawing board, his hand that was not holding the paintbrush was secretly picking flowers, and a lot of purple lavender had formed a bouquet in his hand. Today, when the sun sets, this man named Jinghong is about to propose to the girl he loves, but he has no money to buy a ring, and he is almost out of money to eat.

So the only way is to bring the girl to this free lavender flower field, wanting to rely on his sincerity to impress the girl's heart, Jinghong's heart is hesitant, he is afraid of losing everything because of his poverty, but he also believes in the girl's love, because since high school, this girl has never disliked him.

"It's not a rare treasure, you always hide her at home, it's too stingy!" The assistant director continued to complain.

But the man's next sentence silenced him, and he showed a helpless expression.

The man on the stage said, "He is a rare treasure to me, and I don't hide him at home, if you really want to see him, look for it yourself." ”

"You think we can't find it, next time be careful if we spread the news and let the paparazzi surround your home." The person who can talk is the director, who has put down the pen and paper in his hand and is looking at the man on the stage with pleasure.

The director is already middle-aged, and it is rare for him to make such jokes, but with the men on stage, he always feels that he has become young and lively, and he is no longer so serious.

In the huge theater, a few people were talking and laughing, and the progress of the work became slow, but no one cared about this, they were not in a hurry, because there was still more than a year before the opening of the play. There's not even a full-fledged actor yet.

After a long time, the man who felt his feet were sore walked down from the stage, he casually found a chair and sat down, still chatting with the director, the assistant director had left, he had just received a phone call, and he was in a hurry to go about his own business.

The director put a cigarette in his mouth and asked, "Has he been nice to you lately?" ”

The man smiled noncommittally, his expression affirming the answer to the director's question, so the man who smoked the cigarette also laughed and said, "A natural pair, but you have to be careful, there are some gossipy guys in the theater who are already talking about it." ”

"I know, thank you for always covering it up for us." The man said with a smile, leaning comfortably back in his chair.

The director looked up while smoking a cigarette, he actually knew who the man's lover was, he also knew, and he could fully understand. In this world, it's always good to be open-minded, and Mr. Director has always thought so.

"It's graffiti, you can't refuse, who told you to say it too early, wait patiently." After saying that, the man stood up, poured himself a glass of juice, and then stretched out his right hand to the middle-aged man.

"What are you doing?"

"Living expenses, don't you want to give me the living expenses for this month?" The man said with a sense of confidence, and could see that his skin was thicker than the city walls.

The middle-aged man was almost mad at him, and said, "You didn't even give me a decent work?" On the contrary, I have supported you for many months, and now I have to reach out and ask me for money, are you stupid for me? ”

"You're just stupid, otherwise why would you provoke me? Don't talk nonsense, give the money quickly, I know you brought it. ”

The middle-aged man had no choice but to take out a cowhide envelope from his pocket, the envelope was very thin, and there should not be much money in it, the man took it, took it in his hand, and said with disdain: "That's it, half a month is not enough." ”

"You can be content, this time the matter is over, don't come to me again!" After speaking, the obese middle-aged man slammed the door and left, leaving the man alone in the middle of the room, and when he walked away, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of the man's mouth, and his eyes became disdainful.

"Do you think I'm really scarce for your money? If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have come close to you, just wait, none of you can escape. ”

With a soft voice, the man threw the envelope on the table, sat down and began to paint his messy painting.

Everything seems to be going on naturally, no matter how much the man has on his mind, he can only choose to be patient now, because it is not yet time, it is not yet time for him to really control everything.

Sure enough, the actor showed a smile and said, "I also made an appointment with Xiao Zuo just now." ”

"I knew you weren't that good!"

"Xiao Meng, let's go together! There are few opportunities for Xiao Zuo to meet us, and occasionally you have to communicate, and when you get together, you can't always be like angry, and the two of you don't deal with each other! ”

"I never said I was at odds with him, that's just your imagination."

"Then it's my imagination, are you going to go? I'll be angry if I don't go. The actor threatened him, but there was not much confidence in his words.

The man on the other end of the line sighed and said, "Okay, but you two are not allowed to play pranks, and the forensic doctor is not allowed to always scare people with a cold attitude." ”

"I can't control Xiao Zuo's attitude, but I can guarantee that it will definitely not be a prank, it will be a sumptuous and happy dinner, and it will be Xiao Zuo's treat!"

"Really? He really doesn't have many opportunities to entertain, so I'm going to have to eat enough this time. ”

"Xiao Meng, you are really!" Mr. Actor rolled his eyes on the other end of the phone, but the corners of his mouth curved upwards and smiled.

It's not an easy thing to be able to create an opportunity for three people to eat together, so today Mr. Actor decided that he must behave well and make them both happy.

After the call, the actor began to get ready, he picked out the clothes from the closet, and then walked into the bathroom with the clothes, and within a few moments, the sound of rushing water and the sound of a man humming a song softly came from inside the bathroom.

In a corner not far from the hotel, a man smoking a cigarette was waiting in the alley, and a dilapidated motorcycle was parked next to him, which looked like second-hand goods from the thrift market, and the front and rear lights of the car were broken.

The man was not in a hurry, he smoked a cigarette all the time, and looked at the opposite restaurant from time to time, and the three people sitting by the window to eat, the identities of those three people were recognized by him at first sight, and the reason why Liu Yunzhao invited them was also his idea.

As for the car accident, it was not said by a so-called painter friend at all, it was the man who told Liu Yunzhao.

This man is the person who painted in the warehouse before, and there are still traces of oil paint on his overalls, which seem to have been washed many times, and Liu Yunzhao is the one who went to his warehouse to ask for paintings and give him living expenses.

The relationship between them has been completely reversed, Liu Yunzhao doesn't know what handle is in the hands of the man, and now he is no longer commanding, but has become cautious, and even obedient a lot. Men look like they're in charge.

Liu Yunzhao trotted all the way to the alley, turned around to make sure that Yun Yeyao couldn't see here, and then whispered the result of the invitation, and the smoking man glanced at him and said, "Okay, as soon as you receive their call, you will give me back in time." ”

"Hey, why do you have to look for them, the three of them look very powerful, will they even be exposed to our previous secrets!" Liu Yunzhao was very uneasy, and anxiously asked the man who was smoking.

But the man didn't seem to take his words to heart, but walked towards the motorcycle, frowning and thinking about what he should do next, for Liu Yunzhao's question, he didn't even bother to listen, let alone answer.

Liu Yunzhao watched the smoking man ride away on a motorcycle, he stood in place, clenched his fists, and spat out curses between his fat lips, as if he had a great hatred for the man, until he found that someone was looking at him at the entrance of the alley, and then left in a hurry.

The trip to the lavender villa has been decided, when Yun Yeyao called, Liu Yunzhao's tone sounded full of surprise, they made an appointment with a specific location, the time was to meet at the door of the villa at 9 o'clock in the morning two days later, if Yun Yeyao and they needed to pick up, he could also ask a friend to drive over to pick up, but this proposal was politely rejected by Mr. Actor.

After saying what he wanted to say, Yun Yeyao had no intention of talking too much, and immediately hung up the phone, without giving the other party any room to say more.

In fact, Yun Yeyao hated this man in his heart, if it weren't for what Liu Yunzhao said and did that made Mr. Actor curious, he wouldn't have wasted three days off to go to a lavender villa.

Yun Yeyao relaxed and leaned on the back of the chair, holding a cup of brewed passion fruit black tea in his hand, he liked the taste of passion fruit very much, it was especially delicious with black tea, it was not very sweet, and it eliminated part of the bitterness of the tea.

After taking a big sip, Yun Yeyao began to think about what happened in the restaurant, and he wanted to find some clues from the words and deeds of the fat man, even if it was unrealistic clues. Over the years, Yun Yeyao has become accustomed to thinking quietly anytime and anywhere, and she spends more time at home than when she goes out.

In their spare days, Xie Yunmeng and Mo Haiyou are still very busy, and they don't call them because they are like girls, they have to pay attention to the people they like all the time, they just want to hear more about various cases.

What Mo Haiyou once said came to mind, he said that Yun Yeyao could open a consulting detective agency in the future, just like Sherlock Holmes in China, although Yun Yeyao was happy, but more of it was incredible, he felt that he and the characters in it were not the same kind of people at all, there was no comparison, and his thinking was not so cautious and meticulous, and it was always very messy.

Time flies, soon to the next morning, the weather is not very good, since the morning has been sparse and light rain, however, Yun Yeyao does not care about the light rain day travel, he sits in the taxi, admires the raindrops on the window, occasionally chats with the driver, more often thinking about the family he is going to find today.

The family lived in this city, and Yun Yeyao remembered that there used to be a large lavender field next to their house, which was later eradicated due to renovation, which was really a pity. Yun Yeyao has seen the appearance of the lavender field a few times, a large patch of neat purple flowers, which makes people feel very romantic.

I had already called a friend in the morning, and he said that he had been very free recently, and he could go over at any time. I couldn't hear a very sad look in my tone, probably out of the haze of the past.

The car soon arrived at the destination, an old-fashioned house with red bricks and tiles appeared in front of him, Yun Yeyao did not like those high-rise buildings in the city, this kind of brick house was more to his liking, just like the old courtyard houses before, more lively and more harmonious than the houses in the city.

After paying for the car, Yun Yeyao quickly stepped into the vermilion lacquer-colored gate, there was a large courtyard inside, and a bamboo and wooden frame was built in the courtyard, and some green vines climbed on it, looking at the appearance of fruit, it should be a loofah.

Standing in the courtyard, Yun Yeyao took a breath of fresh air, feeling refreshed, the discomfort caused by the dream last night was completely gone, he stretched his waist and shouted towards the door opposite: "Mr. Wu, are you there?" ”

Immediately there was a sound of things colliding in the room, and a man put down the pen he was writing, pushed away his chair and walked towards the door, and then the man's loud voice came out of the room.

"Yes, is it Xiao Yao? Come on in. Mr. Wu quickly opened the door and walked out, he is a middle-aged man with a Chinese face, his name is Wu Weiyun, his figure is not tall, but his facial features are resolute, and the whole person has a sense of righteousness and awe.

Things are going well so far, and it seems that everything is going in the right direction, but, in an unexpected place for actors, criminal police, and forensic doctors, a man is getting together with his girlfriend. This woman is the same person who teased the black cat on the balcony as I said before, and she is also the mysterious woman who meets the man in red high heels late at night.

The man's name is Xu Qing, and his appearance is not bad, at least he is a man who can win a certain amount of heading. His most prominent feature is that he has jet-black hair, although his eyes are not big, but the messy bangs cover the top of the eyes, which hides a lot of flaws and makes his eyes look much more energetic.

Xu Qing seems to be a person who pays a lot of attention to his appearance, and when he talks to his girlfriend, he keeps fiddling with the bangs on his forehead with his hands, and often looks at the mirror of the small wardrobe.

The woman sitting opposite Xu Qing is surnamed Bai, and her name is Bai Yun, Xu Qing feels that this name is not as fresh and elegant as others say, and he doesn't feel anything about the white clouds in the sky, just like a ball of white cotton wool, so the name Bai Yun is honest, which makes him feel dull and tasteless, just like the person in front of him, no matter how heavy the makeup is, it is just cotton wool without connotation.

Of course, Xu Qing can't say what he thinks in his heart, because he still has to rely on this woman to support himself, in the past two years, Bai Yun has spent a lot of money on himself, Xu Qing has always been a fool, and he doesn't make much money, except for his appearance is a little better, he usually acts like a gangster. To be able to rely on others to support himself without having to work on his own, of course he is willing.

Fiddling with his bangs at will, his eyes didn't fall on Bai Yun at all, Xu Qing asked, "Did you get the money for the party?" ”

"Why do you ask this? Do you want to go to the white responsibility to pay for it yourself? The woman said with contempt in her tone. He has never looked down on Xu Qing, but it is because of his face that he can still hold his hands that he doesn't bother with him.

The three people who were inexplicably fooled recovered from the shock and began to discuss what to do next? Yun Yeyao had been listening to Xie Yunmeng's reasoning, and suddenly, he asked a strange question.

"Why does Liu Yunzhao know when to call us?"

When Yun Yeyao asked this question, his eyes were looking at the forensic doctor Mo Haiyou, and in just a few seconds of freeze frame, Mo Haiyou said two words: "Warehouse!" ”

"Yes, it's the warehouse here, Xiao Meng" Yun Yeyao turned to Xie Yunmeng and said, "Since the murderer wants to provoke, he will definitely leave us some clues so that we can guess the right direction." These are the basic rules of making the game. So where exactly is this first clue? Xiao Meng, think about it carefully, what did Liu Yunzhao do on the phone just now? ”

"I remember him saying ......"

"No, what did you do? There are no keywords at all for what he said, so the key must be in what he does. Yun Yeyao added.

Xie Yunmeng replied: "I first heard a woman's scream, and then, there was the sound of someone being beaten, and then it seemed that the murderer threw away the murder weapon, and the murder weapon fell to the floor...... By the way, I heard the sound of things falling on the floor, they must be in a room somewhere, could they be ...... Is this the warehouse? ”

"Xiao Zuo, do you have anything else to add?" Yun Yeyao asked again.

"I heard the sound of a man's neck being twisted, and I couldn't mishear the sound of the bones being misaligned. If someone really had his neck broken, it means that he was killed after making a phone call, then the person calling is not necessarily the murderer, and there may be other people next to Liu Yunzhao following. ”

"The only place where they are hiding here is the warehouse, and our contact with Liu Yunzhao is no longer except for the phone call from Xiao Yao before, and he is too precise about the timing."

"The corpse was torn off the neck bone and died, and if you want to achieve the goal in a short time without being noticed, you must have a lot of manpower. The neck bone was broken laterally, indicating that the killer was at least as tall as the victim. The male corpse in front of Mo Hai's right eye is Liu Yunzhao, his eyes are wide, he can't be blinded, and blood is still flowing out of his mouth and neck wounds, which can be described as terrifying.

Yun Yeyao stood in front of the window, his eyes were facing the outdoors, from the gap in the curtains, he could just see where the three of them were standing just now, hearing Mo Haiyou's words, Yun Yeyao asked: "So, it is more likely that the murderer is a man?" ”

Mo Haiyou said: "Not necessarily, Liu Yunzhao is about 1.7 meters at most, and there are still many women in this height." Also, judging from the body surface temperature of the corpse, the time of death will definitely not exceed two hours. ”

"This murderer is really bold, from the time he hung up the phone to the time we entered the warehouse, but in just ten minutes, he had already run away without a trace, it seems that in addition to the door and window, there should be an exit here, I guess it is hidden between those sketchboards on the ground." Yun Yeyao said.

His words do have some basis, because the doors and windows of the warehouse are on the front, and no matter which of these two places the murderer goes out, he can't escape the eyes of the actors, the criminal police, and the forensic doctor, not to mention that there are several waste collectors outside, and there is always one person who will notice the murderer. Therefore, the murderer must have arranged a way out for himself long before committing the murder.

What's more, if the truth is told on the phone, then the seven people mentioned by Liu Yunzhao are very dangerous, Yun Yeyao is now full of worries, two people have died, one is Liu Yunzhao, and the other is a strange woman. It shows that the murderer is not talking about it, he killed people on the spot just to tell Yun Yeyao that he will kill them again after that.

It is absolutely impossible for the few waste recyclers outside to be pretended to be the murderer, before they called, these people had already picked up recyclables in the open space, Yun Yeyao counted them carefully, one was not more, one was not less, and the murderer did not use them to hide his identity.

"Xiao Zuo, I think these paintings are likely to be the reason for the murderer's murder, Mr. Wu's daughter died, and her boyfriend and the perpetrator disappeared at the same time, there are a lot of unreasonableness in this, first of all, the perpetrator was not intentional homicide, but an accident caused by drunk driving, even if the punishment is heavy, it will not abandon the family and disappear alone!"

"Secondly, when the car accident happened, the deceased did not die on the spot, why didn't her boyfriend choose to rescue, but to chase the murderer, he just needs to remember the license plate number of the vehicle that caused the accident, and hand it over to the police for investigation afterwards? Maybe it can save the life of Mr. Wu's daughter. For this reason, Mr. Wu even thought that he was afraid of taking responsibility, and ran away like the perpetrator, and he was really resentful for a long time, until he learned the truth from his parents, and the misunderstanding was resolved. ”

Mo Haiyou asked: "Therefore, Xiao Yao, do you think that the reason why the perpetrator wanted to escape was because he was also burdened with other cases, and he had to hide in order to prevent the police from finding out through the car accident." And the victim's boyfriend may have been tied to the car by the perpetrator and taken away together, right? ”

"Well, there's a possibility." Yun Yeyao replied: "There is also a possibility that in the process of preventing the perpetrator from escaping, the deceased's boyfriend was unfortunately knocked out or killed, and the perpetrator was panicked and felt that he was dead, and he became a veritable murderer, so he took away the deceased's boyfriend and buried him, and he went away and hid." ”

"At that time, the driver who caused the accident was a drunk driver, he crashed the guardrail all the way and rushed into the lavender field, which shows that he was very drunk. So the first thing we need to find out is, is the deceased's boyfriend still alive? ”

"If he is still alive, maybe this incident is his revenge. If he is already dead, then it is difficult to determine the murderer of this matter. ”

"But Xiao Zuo, you have to know that the person who died was his own biological daughter, even if we were injured by mistake, then do you think Mr. Wu can calmly hide the driver who caused the accident without revealing any flaws when he loses his only daughter?" There was a little sadness in Yun Yeyao's eyes, and he felt that Xiao Zuo was too cold to say this.

But when solving the case, Mo Haiyou was never swayed by feelings, and he was about to continue to speak, but he didn't expect Xie Yunmeng behind him to interject at this time.

"You guys are talking about the motives for the car accident back then, what's the use? What we have to analyze now is what was the relationship between car accidents and homicides? Also What was the motive for the homicide? Can you get to the point? ”

Mo Hai turned to the right and faced Mr. Criminal Police and said: "To clarify the connection between the car accident and the homicide, it is necessary to understand the truth of the car accident back then, because the truth of the car accident may be the real motive of the homicide." You think, when Liu Yunzhao first saw us, he mentioned the car accident and talked about the lavender flower field directly, and it was because of his words that Xiao Yao went to Mr. Wu to investigate. Also, he told us that the meeting place was Lavender Villa, which was linked to the car accident in the lavender field that year. ”

Liu Yunzhao also mentioned that he had a painter friend, in the file, before the car accident, the deceased's boyfriend was indeed painting, so many details, if Liu Yunzhao fabricated it out of thin air, it could not be so coincidental. So it's possible that he was the one who knew the truth about the car accident back then, no matter what the motive was? Is he being taken advantage of? We all have to investigate the past before we can truly understand the present. ”

"So how much did you analyze? Where can we relate to the homicide cases of the present? Xie Yunmeng was a little impatient, and even forgot to mention the results of his investigation just now.

Still Yun Yeyao's eyes were sharp, pointing behind Xie Yunmeng and saying, "Xiao Meng, you found a gap in the murderer's escape!" ”

When the police arrived at the scene of the murder, all the unrelated personnel were sent home, just to prepare them for the possibility of being questioned at any time. The forensic doctor and the criminal police are responsible for cooperating with the work of the police in the jurisdiction and informing the three of them in detail of the clues they have just obtained.

According to the identity certificate of the deceased and the confirmation of the police in the jurisdiction, the female corpse's name is Liu Yun, who is Liu Yunzhao's own sister, and the place where the brother and sister live is not far from here. Liu Yun lives on the second floor of a high-rise building, and Liu Yunzhao does not have his own house, he has been living in a friend's house, he has a friend who paints all the year round, which is also consistent with what Liu Yunzhao himself said at the beginning.

Yun Yeyao stood alone in the open space in front of the warehouse, thinking, where should they start next? In other words, where will the seven people mentioned by the murderer be?

First of all, you can go to the place where Liu Yunzhao and Liu Yun live, but the focus is not on the brother and sister, but on Liu Yunzhao's painter friend, according to Liu Yunzhao himself, this painter friend told him that the car accident was very suspicious, and died suddenly at home soon after.

Liu Yunzhao's words are true or false for the time being, since the police are sure that there is such a person, then we have to check carefully, the warehouse where the murder occurred seems to be a place often used by a certain painter, Yun Yeyao noticed that on the walls of the warehouse, on the ground, and on the edges of some painting boards, as well as on the curtains and furniture, there are more or less traces of paint remaining, indicating that the paintings in the warehouse were not temporarily moved in, and there must be a person who works there all year round.

The person working in the warehouse is most likely the painter's friend in Liu Yunzhao's mouth, and if the guess is correct, then there is a question mark over whether the painter is dead, and he may have taken advantage of Liu Yunzhao, or there is some exchange of interests between them. Say what you want to say through Liu Yunzhao's mouth, and then kill the person who has lost its use value.

Therefore, whether it is to investigate Liu Yun's home or the place where Liu Yunzhao lived, it is necessary to carefully find clues about the painter, and the warehouse is obviously not the first scene of Liu Yun's death, Liu Yun's body was packed and sent here, this kind of package, it is impossible to let the courier company to undertake it, so it is necessary for the person who delivered the package to investigate it carefully.

Sitting in the living room of Nuoda, the girl sulked alone, she did not hate her boyfriend, she could even say that she loved her deeply, but when her boyfriend justified him with those harsh reasons, the girl felt that their relationship was like falling into an ice cellar, as if it could never be recovered.

It's not that the girl doesn't know that she has a lot of mistakes and shortcomings, but she just thinks that a man actually says love to herself, so she must tolerate and care for herself for the rest of her life, no matter how many shortcomings and mistakes she has, he should turn a blind eye!

When such a reason is established in the heart, the girl will not feel sorry, and the only thing she can feel is resentment and helplessness. It's as if the heart has been hollowed out by accusations.

'On what basis does he accuse me?' I used to be like this, didn't he tolerate it? Why can't it be accommodated now?! ’

The girl didn't want to look at the scenery outside the window anymore, the large lavender fields, which were originally very beautiful, but now, the girl felt that it had turned into sarcasm and ridicule, which made her more and more sad. The whole person was lying on the table in a decadent manner, and as his shoulders rose and fell, tears were also falling silently.

If it weren't for the fact that there were guests in the house, the girl would have cried out loud, she had become accustomed to pampering herself, and she might not be able to change it for the rest of her life.

In another room, the man is also reflecting. From this man's sigh, we can hear his kindness, and we can also feel his tolerance. This is a good man, if the girl marries him, as long as he does a little housework and cares about the man, he will give the girl the happiest life in the world.

Of course, if a happy life is to be measured by money, then this man can't give it. And the care he can give, and a feeling of intimate love, is also something that many men with money can't give.

An Lingxiang's personality is really not very good, and if she wasn't with her boyfriend, let alone a large lavender field, she wouldn't even be able to raise herself a long time ago. But she has never reflected on it, nor has she ever thought that her boyfriend's contribution needs to be grateful, she just blindly feels that it is what she deserves.

Therefore, contradictions and problems will appear one day, and people will always have a day when they can't bear it, although it is not yet the last moment, but An Lingxiang's boyfriend has unconsciously sprouted a kind of burnout, but he has not yet discovered it.

Two independent lavender villas, located in the east we call it the East House, located in the west we simply call the West House, An Lingxiang's boyfriend is on the second floor of the West House closer to the road at the moment.

It is the only well-decorated and well-equipped room in the house, and it is also the most spacious room, usually, An Lingxiang and him both have their own rooms, she gives the biggest and best room to her boyfriend, on the surface, it seems to be praised by all friends, but in fact, it is just for her boyfriend to work conveniently.

And this is not what she took the initiative to give, but her boyfriend opened his mouth to ask, in view of all kinds of unspeakable lazy reasons, An Lingxiang reluctantly agreed, because the washing machine, bathroom, mop pool, and balcony in that room are all available, every morning and evening, before her boyfriend goes to work, and when she comes home from work, she will take turns busy in the room and kitchen.

By the way, the kitchen of Villa Lavender is also in the Westinghouse, and because of the kitchen, there is only one difference between the Westinghouse and the Eastinghouse - the chimney. And what An Lingxiang did was to put the unwashed clothes into a basket and transfer them from the door of the maid's room to the door of her boyfriend's room.

The hostess of the lavender villa, now it seems, apart from her simplicity, that the rest is annoying, and even her simplicity has good reason to be considered close to an idiotic character.

Leaving aside the 'criticism' of Mr. 'vulgar', we turn our attention to the third person, the one to the left of Yong Poppy. She is a veritable young girl, although she is much inferior to Wen Yuan, but it cannot be said that she is not beautiful, and she is still passable when you look at it alone.

This girl's name is Canglu Lu, she is twenty-eight years old this year, as her name suggests, just like a deer running in the mountains, with a strong body, more than 1.7 meters tall, dark skin, melon seed face with natural thick eyebrows, long hair coiled on the top of the head, a unique flavor.

Just looking at the appearance, Canglu Lu must feel very strong, and even a little pungent, but this is not the case, Canglu Lu is a gentle and lovely girl, her temperament and personality are very similar to Wen Yuan, the two of them often have endless words, but in terms of temperament, Canglu Lu often becomes a foil.

Canglu Lu was wearing a T-shirt and jeans, with a pair of canvas flats on his feet, and at the moment, because he didn't want to listen to Mr. Yong Poppy's endless words, he buried his head low, and was looking at the shaking toes under his desk. Yong Poppy looked at her several times with dissatisfaction, but Canglu Lu didn't notice it.

Canglulu, like Wen Yuan, is an independent woman who relies on her own food and clothing, and it doesn't matter if she has a boyfriend around her.

A man and a woman sitting on the left side of Canglu Lulu, we actually already know each other, the man's name is Xu Qing, the woman's name is Bai Yun, they are a young couple, Bai Yun is 7 years and two months older than Xu Qing, the appearance characteristics of the two of them, as well as the good or bad relationship between them, we have already introduced them in Chapter 360, so I will not repeat them here.

It is rare for the five of them to have time to get together, and they don't come to the lavender villa often, because they are very busy with their own affairs, and the reason why they came here today is because of the invitation of another friend, Liu Yunzhao.

Didn't the content of the painting give him any hints? Instead, the size and shape of those paintings, he found a free place, Xie Yunmeng sat on the floor, took a picture frame and looked at it carefully.

A very ordinary wooden frame, just like a photo frame made by a photo studio for a client, has a circle of decorative wood on the edge, Xie Yunmeng broke it with his hand, and it was easy to break. Mr. Detective first removed the frame of the entire painting, revealing something like thick cardboard, which did not have the hardness of wood at all.

Xie Yunmeng put down the cardboard with the canvas pasted, continued to pick up the second frame, and broke all the wood on the edges as before, still pasting the canvas on the cardboard, and more than a dozen paintings in a row. Then Xie Yunmeng tried to tear the canvas off the cardboard.

Maybe it was because it was too tight, or maybe Xie Yunmeng used too much force, in short, the canvas was torn up at once. Xie Yunmeng simply ignored the thirty-seven twenty-one, and tore the entire canvas into pieces.

It wasn't until the surface of the cardboard was cleaned that Xie Yunmeng could see clearly what was under the canvas, which was simply a schoolboy's painting, with crooked lines, unsightly color blends, and an unbelievable outline.

Is it possible that the person who paints here has a child? Xie Yunmeng instantly had such an idea, but he quickly shook his head, because the people from the police in the jurisdiction just now said that the people who used to paint here had gone abroad more than two years ago, and this warehouse was bought by him, and it had not been dealt with since he went abroad, so no one went in and out to check.

And this person has no relatives in the city at all, so it is impossible for children to stay here. Xie Yunmeng tore open several canvases in a row, looking at the 'primary school students' works, he couldn't help but pick up his mobile phone.

"Xiao Yao, there's something very strange." After hearing Yun Yeyao's voice, Xie Yunmeng immediately got to the point.

"Xiao Zuo, do you remember those painted frames on the windowsill of the warehouse?" Yun Ye Yao asked Mo Haiyou, who was driving.

Because his mind was attracted by Xie Yunmeng's question, Mo Haiyou simply parked the car slowly on the side of the road, and then replied: "The painting on the windowsill looks like the wooden frame and the picture are normal, no different from ordinary oil paintings. ”

"Yes, and when I touched those paintings, I found that the back was indeed a wooden board, not the cardboard that Xiao Meng said." After Yun Yeyao finished speaking, he immediately asked Xie Yunmeng: "Xiao Meng, are the frames of all the oil paintings in front of you now remodeled from photo frames?" ”

"I guess, I've demolished a lot of them, and they're all the same."

Mo Haiyou asked: "Xiao Yao, do you mean that in the entire warehouse, only those paintings on the windowsill have not been moved, and they are specially let us see by the murderer, right?" ”

Not really, what clues are hidden in those paintings? I'm not sure that the person who put them on the windowsill could be the murderer, or the third person I'm talking about. ”

"Why not Liu Yunzhao?" Mo Haiyou continued to ask.

"It can't be Liu Yunzhao, if he wants to provide us with some clues, he can secretly hint when he contacted us before, there is no need to risk anything in the warehouse! This makes it easy for the murderer to find out. ”

"Another point is that if Liu Yunzhao really wants to leave paintings on the windowsill to hint at us, then he will definitely leave his fingerprints behind the drawing board or in an inconspicuous place on the windowsill, because the warehouse is full of oil paintings, and if we are a little negligent, we may not find the special features of those paintings on the windowsill."

"But it's different if Liu Yunzhao left fingerprints on it, the police will definitely collect fingerprint evidence, and then we will carefully examine those paintings because of the traces he left, and the probability of finding clues will be greatly increased." However, the results of the on-site investigation did not find anyone's fingerprints, so I can be sure that Liu Yunzhao had no chance to leave clues at all, and of course, the person who did the work on other inferior drawing boards could not be him. ”

Mo Haiyou said: "This person actually painted those beautiful oil paintings, so why did he add graffiti to the back of the oil paintings?" What he did makes us wonder, what's the point? There are two possibilities, first, the cardboard is discarded by a nearby kindergarten or elementary school, which means that the graffiti on it is drawn by real children, and the people who live in the warehouse have no money to buy drawing boards, so they use them to make up for it. ”

"It's a hypothesis, and secondly, that the people who live in the warehouses deliberately draw them on cardboard, and then cover them with canvases and hide them, waiting to be discovered. The first guess is easy to find, and the second guess can only be inferred from the picture itself, just like Xiao Yao said just now, maybe a simple line can piece together some words? Or a simple map of the trip to the lavender villa and so on. ”

"It could also be a contrast." Yun Yeyao took advantage of Mo Haiyou's pause to pick up the end of the conversation, and said: "Comparing the good with the bad, it implies that we want to find out the kind of clues or locations that are completely unequal. ”

"Let's be clear." Mo Haiyou looked directly at him and said that at this moment, there was an overgrown open space outside the window of their car, which itself was close to the suburbs and towns, and the side of the road was mostly dirt.

The actor continued: "This contrast can lead to many things, such as it may suggest that the murderer is a person who doesn't know how to draw at all, or it may suggest that the appearance of the lavender villa is not what we imagined, maybe it is shabby and ugly. Or...... The man who works on the painting has himself gone from being a hater to a victim. ”

"Also," Yun Yeyao turned his head to look out the window, thinking, "It's the graffiti person who is hinting at some markings, such as the scenery around the Lavender Villa, etc., not necessarily the complete road map, or some text." Xiao Meng just said that the cardboard is painted with small flowers and grasses, I wonder if it is a hint of wildflowers or weeds, these things are rare in the city, but there are many surrounding towns, and they can be seen everywhere. ”

There was basically nothing to do on the first day, the morning and noon time had been wasted, Wen Yuan listened to Yong Poppy's unnutritious conversations in his ears, and his beautiful eyes gradually showed a hint of sleepiness, in this lukewarm season, it is easy for people to doze off, especially when there is nothing to do.

With her arms propped up on the back of the chair, Wen Yuan was like a little girl, her whole person was clinging to the back of the chair, her thin chin was a little painful to pill her arm, she adjusted her posture several times, but she didn't find a comfortable position. So in desperation, I had to stand up and want to go back to my room for a nap.

Mr. Yong Su stopped talking because of her movements, looked up and asked her, "Ms. Wen, are you uncomfortable?" ”

"No... I'm just a little sleepy. Wen Yuan lowered her head and tidied up the hem of her skirt, her hand swept lightly over the skirt, with a perfunctory attitude, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Wen Yuan didn't want to see Yong Poppy's face, so he found a reason to deliberately bow his head.

Canglu Lulu, who was sitting on the other side of the Yong Poppy, stood up, walked to Wen Yuan's side and whispered a few words, the two of them were well-known, and they often whispered in front of others, so no one was interested in what they were saying, and the other three people still had to do what they should do, sitting there leisurely to spend time.

Canglu Lu is much taller than Wen Yuan, and when the two of them talk, Canglu Lu always squats slightly. Now she stood up straight after speaking, and said in an unbelievable little woman's tone: "Sister Wen, let's go out and see the lavender field, you see that the sun is so good in the afternoon, what a pity to sleep!" ”

Wen Yuan was obviously frightened by her sudden change in the way she spoke, and asked, "Lulu, where did you learn this kind of pretentious tone?" Not for you at all! After speaking, the slender and good-looking brows were entwined together, and because of the frowning, a little fine lines piled up on Wen Yuan's eyelids, and his big eyes became deeper.

Receiving his girlfriend's vexatious trouble, Xu Qing turned his eyes to look at her and said, "Sister Yun, it's too wide, can't I take a look?" ”

Bai Yun is more than ten years older than Xu Qing, so when he is called, he is used to calling Wen Yuan Sister Wen and his girlfriend Bai Yun Sister Yun.

"You stare at it and it makes people feel frivolous and rude, you know?" Bai Yun yelled at Xu Qing, he showed this kind of unimportant attitude in front of everyone, which was the most unbearable for Bai Yun.

The age gap itself is easy to make the woman have a certain sense of inferiority, and Bai Yun is the kind of woman who must be strong on the surface. So after yelling, she stood up and prepared to leave.

"Miss Yun, okay, okay, sit down! Xiaoqing, don't hurry up and coax your Sister Yun! ”

Yong Poppy on the side opened his mouth and said that he had started to make peace, after all, there was nothing big about himself, but he just took a few more looks. Besides, when Bai Yun and Xu Qing were talking just now, although Wen Yuan didn't look back, he would definitely be able to hear it, if the two of them broke up unhappily because of this kind of thing, Wen Yuan probably wouldn't dare to say anything to Xu Qing, the little brother.

But Xu Qing and Bai Yun didn't take Yong Poppy's persuasion seriously at all, one turned his head and walked to the stairwell, and the other followed Wen Yuan and Canglu Lu out of the door, leaving Yong Poppy alone in the living room pretending to be stupid.

This party that is meaningless to them at the moment, because the three people who are expected to come are not there, and the organizer of the party has disappeared inexplicably, so everyone is not so comfortable, but some people are hidden deeply, and some people don't want to control it.

I don't know how long I stood in the middle of the room, looking at the man outside the window and retracting his gaze, now is the time when he should arrange for night work, the maid has to leave work at half past five, and the man basically does it for dinner, so, I want to go and see how the ingredients are prepared? Also, the lavender bouquet that needs to be shipped tomorrow morning should also be prepared.

Sighing again, the man was used to this method of relieving the stuffiness in his heart, and his breath seemed to be full of sighs, with a heaviness.

He did not go directly to the door, but walked to the windowsill, as if looking for something, and the man carefully examined the windowsill and the window frame, his eyes swept every inch until he felt at ease, and then turned and walked towards the door.

He didn't close the windows or close the curtains, letting the wind blow the paper and thin things in the room, and soon disappeared into the private space that was still his.

In the empty room, it was unusually cold, except for the wind, everything else was either static or passively flying, and none of them had their own vitality. The pen on the table slowly rolled down to the ground, and the moment the pen made contact with the ground, blue-black ink splattered out towards the place where the wind entered.

"Cut! Dirty! A small complaint entered the room, and I don't know when a strange man straddled the windowsill, and he was looking inside with disdain.

The ink splattered right on the edge of his trouser legs, and even the white socks were there, and the man easily entered the room, picked up the cracked pen on the floor and looked at it, it was a cheap pen, worn and old, and everywhere showed the shabby owner of the pen.

Throwing the pen into the paper basket, the man walked a few steps around the room as if nothing had happened, he did not deliberately hide the footsteps from his leather shoes, probably not afraid of being discovered, anyway, the man did not have any fear or uneasy look on his face.

He wandered around the room like this, paying attention to the sun's position from time to time, killing time.

Why did Yun Yeyao and Mo Haiyou abandon their original route and instead decide to look for large garbage recycling stations between towns and villages to collect clues? This is actually related to the paintings in the warehouse, the people who painted the oil paintings make use of waste materials, so where can the waste materials come from? Of course, he went to the large garbage collection station, and the warehouse where he was located was also near the garbage recycling station.

It is possible that the people who painted in the warehouses were poor and could not afford better materials. It's also possible, as they previously suspected, that these materials were deliberately used to attract attention. Yun Yeyao and Mo Haiyou both have the latter point of view.

Since the painter wants to hide in the warehouse, he just doesn't want his identity to be known to more people, in other words, this person can't go to the school to ask the teachers and students for the discarded drawing board, which will be very eye-catching. That's why he picks up the abandoned photo frames and goes back to the warehouse to process and modify them himself.

By inference, it is impossible for this person to travel far away, or to walk from the town to the city to pick up waste and then come back here, which is far away and time-consuming, and there are very few garbage recycling stations in the city. Most of them are concentrated around this area.

So, as long as you ask the staff at the nearby large garbage collection point, if there is such a person who often picks up picture frames or photo frames, they will definitely see it, as long as someone describes the basic physiognomy characteristics of this person, and then compares the photos in the past files, they can know whether this person is related to the car accident in the lavender field?

According to Yun Yeyao's thoughts, it is best to find the missing party, and he always believes that the current homicide must be related to the missing person back then.
