Chapter 807 The Strange Mirror Villa Twenty-Five
At the end of the beach, the winery on the right
Xiaoice opened the curtain and walked in, holding two jars of freshly brewed wine in her arms, and glanced at the man sitting there doing nothing.
"What are you doing?" Xiaoice asked.
The man raised his head to look at her, his eyes kept moving with Xiaoice's steps, but his lips were pursed but he was unwilling to part.
After a while, Xiaoice asked again; "What are you doing?" The same words, the same pace, as if the question was just a greeting.
The man spoke slowly, "I want to talk to you." β
"What to talk about? Talk about whether I've been there before? I'm not telling you that I haven't been there, and I haven't done what you said. Your actions are simply superfluous. β
"I hope so," said the man, "but you have always given you the wine, haven't you?" β
"I did send the wine before, but that old gentleman hasn't ordered wine for a long time recently, and I haven't sent it, can't you trust me once?" Xiaoice finally showed a little impatience.
The man lowered his head, looked at his hands clasped on his knees, twisted his thumbs, and said, "Don't be angry, I'm not saying I don't believe you, I'm just working and trying to confirm the facts." β
"There are many ways to confirm the facts, you can go to the perimeter to investigate, you can visit the neighbors, relatives and friends of the person concerned, why don't you say a word and run to me to confirm first? This proves that the first person you doubted was me. β
"Good! Good! I can't tell you, am I wrong? The man raised his hand as if in surrender, and then said, "Since my guesses are all wrong and what I have done is useless, then I believe you 120,000 percent now, and let you help me do it, right?" β
When the man said these words, Xiaoice was about to walk into the compartment behind the barrels, she stopped, put the barrel in her hand aside, and asked, "How do you want me to help?" β
"Continuing to cover my identity, observing people coming from the beach, I estimate that the murderer is likely to come here."
"Is that really the case?" Xiaoice felt a little incredible, she looked around, and opened the curtain of the storage room behind, looked inside, and found nothing before continuing: "Then I'll find a reason to let them not go to work these days, anyway, this winery, my father entrusted it to me a long time ago." β
"Is your father still a master here?" The man asked.
"Yes, he's still a master in the winery, and the new guys don't know he's my father, and they think I'm an apprentice."
"After so many years of dating, Xiaoice, it's the first time I've heard you talk about this kind of thing, your family is always mysterious."
"What's so bad about that? I think every family should have their own privacy, but some people are more conservative and some people are a little more open. β
"It has nothing to do with being conservative or not! It's just that you father and daughter are too good at hiding. The man muttered softly, Xiaoice ignored him, and moved the barrel to the storage room in the back.
When she came back, the man had already sat at the window, with his back to her, and Xiaoice suddenly felt that the back in front of her seemed to be a little strange.
She rubbed her eyes and said, "What are you doing?" β
"Didn't I say I'm going to spy on people who come to the beach?" The man whispered in response.
Xiaoice said: "How can anyone come so late?" β
"That's not necessarily, anyway, you go about your business, I'll just stay here by myself, remember, don't let anyone else come."
"Well, if you're sleepy, you'll have to sleep on the workbench, and don't blame me then."
"No problem." The man said lightly, Xiaoice shook his head helplessly, walked out of the winery, the winery on the right is a business hall, there is no other role at all, the actual area is much smaller than the winery on the left, but it can't be seen from the faΓ§ade.
Xiaoice lives in the winery on the right, and she will leave the winery on the left with the staff every night, and after sending them away, she will quietly return to stay, so the winery is her home, and no one knows about it.
As for the father just mentioned, Xiaoice didn't know how long he hadn't seen him before, but he remembered that a few years ago, after his father left home, he never came back, his mother died early, and Xiaoice can now be said to have nothing but the winery.
As for the master who replaced his father, he was just a hired worker hired by Xiaoice at his expense, of course, what Xiaoice asked him to say, he said it!
Slowly walking to the door of the wine shop on the left, Xiaoice muttered softly: "Xiao Zuo, I'm back." She called the two wineries Xiao Zuo and Xiao You respectively, which was a coincidence with Yun Yeyao and Mo Haiyou's nicknames.
Xiao Zhang asked, "Are you talking about Mr. Yun?" β
"Okay, I'm going to inspect the scene now, you go back to the airport and notify Officer Fu, ask him to send forensic personnel and forensic doctors over, and if Xiao Yao is fine, let him come and take a look."
"Understood, let's go, Officer Xie, be careful yourself."
Arranged to take Xiao Wu and Xiao Zhang, Xie Yunmeng faced Shen Muyan's corpse alone, at this moment half of the corpse was buried in the soil, he picked up the soil little by little, and paid attention to the surrounding movements. There was silence in the house, all the doors facing the courtyard were open, and no one could see inside.
Xie Yunmeng found Shen Muyan's body, so far, three people have died, one of whom is still a police officer, this has become an extremely bad nature of the serial murder incident, the city police headquarters will soon be fully mobilized, all efforts to search for the murderer of the case.
We will not give a specific description of the actions in the police station here, let's continue to see Xie Yunmeng's actions, after he pulled the deceased out of the soil, he found that there was a set of police uniforms pressed under the corpse, not the regular kind, but a set of high imitations, this kind of clothes, only the criminal police can distinguish the real from the fake, ordinary people and even auxiliary police may not be able to see it.
Carefully recalling the Shen Muyan he saw at the airport, Xie Yunmeng decided that this police uniform was not the one that Shen Muyan was wearing at that time, and Shen Muyan was not wearing his own police uniform at this moment, so where did the real police uniform go?
The only thing Xie Yunmeng could think of was that the police uniform was taken away by the murderer, did the murderer pretend to be a policeman and fish in troubled waters? But three homicides, three different points in time, if it is one murderer, it is impossible to do it. At least faking the scene in front of you is not something that can be done in the morning.
Xie Yunmeng thinks that it is better to believe that it is a criminal gang that is committing the crime than a single person, and the three people they caught may be just cannon fodder in the gang to clean up the scene, and they don't know where the core personnel are.
From a certain point of view, this idea coincides with the thoughts of Yun Yeyao and Mo Haiyou, but Mr. Actor and Mr. Forensic Doctor are more complex and detailed than Mr. Criminal Police.
Speaking of more complex and detailed case investigations, I seem to spend most of my time analyzing and reasoning processes, and rarely involve the police investigation process, perhaps because I don't want to go too deep, or maybe I don't have a certain understanding of the formal investigation process, and I am afraid that I will make too many mistakes. Thank you for your understanding.
To get back to the point, Xie Yunmeng was not able to move the body of the deceased at the scene, because this might mislead the forensic doctor's judgment later, and after he ripped the soil away, the person retreated to the middle of the courtyard.
"After about five or six minutes, I fed all the puppies the medicine, and finally I was still relieved, and wanted to secretly open the iron door to take a look, although there was no door to enter, but I could at least lie on the window and take a look."
When Aunt Lu said this, Xie Yunmeng showed a strange look, and he asked, "Isn't there a window on that wall?" β
"Where do you mean the wall?" Aunt Lu was also asked all of a sudden.
"I'm really the wall on the left, didn't I just kick it out of there and into the yard?"
"But there has been no owner on the left for many years, and Wang Haicheng's family lives in the newly bought house on the right." Aunt Lu said: "You can also see that the house on the left has no one to repair at all, and it is about to become a dilapidated house." The one on the right is newly renovated, it is close to the green belt, and the air is relatively fresh, so the old lady chose to live on the right. β
"Oh, that's my mistake, I always thought you were making a sound, it was something happening in the courtyard on the left." Xie Yunmeng said.
"No, Mr. Policeman, I don't know what you found in the courtyard on the left? But I'm sure it hasn't been inhabited for at least five years. β
"I understand this, you can continue to talk about what happened just now."
Aunt Lu cleared her throat and said, "Okay, just as I was about to open the iron door and go in and take a look at the window, there were one after another crashing sounds inside, as well as Wang Haicheng's roar, it was definitely Wang Haicheng's voice." β
"I have good ears and eyes, and Wang Haicheng's voice has a characteristic, although he does rough work every day, his voice is as gentle and elegant as a leading cadre, and he speaks softly, even if he roars loudly, it will not be very harsh."
"Auntie, tell me first, what did you see through the window?" Xie Yunmeng urged.
"It's strange in this place," Aunt Lu said, "and when I climbed up to the edge of the window, there was nothing in it, only the old lady sitting alone on the chaise longue, still shaking her fan, looking very comfortable." The yard was neatly tied, and Wang Haicheng didn't even have a shadow. β
"Didn't you notice anything strange?" Xie Yunmeng asked.
"Hmm...... By the way, I remembered, there is indeed a strange thing, that is, I saw Wang Haicheng's work clothes neatly folded on the chair, this time should be Wang Haicheng's time to work, he was responsible for cleaning the section of the road near the airport, I guess whether the leader did not check that day, so Wang Haicheng forgot his work clothes and did not come back to get them. β
After Aunt Lu finished talking about things, she didn't forget to contribute her own analysis, although it was simple, but it also had her own truth.
Let's talk about Mrs. Yun first, Huang Wei left the airport at noon with her, it takes more than half an hour for the car to drive back to the villa, and it won't take more than ten minutes for the two of them to talk at most, that is to say, before Yun Yeyao learned that Mo Haiyou arrived at the airport, her phone should have been called to her son a long time ago, but what is the reason why Yun Yeyao has not received a call?
In fact, it is very simple, Mrs. Yun came home and met Yun Yeyao's father: Yun Yi City.
Mrs. Yun has never lied to her husband very much, under the questioning of Yun Yicheng, Mrs. Yun said that Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng came back, Yun Yicheng actually missed his son, after thinking about it again, he decided to go to the airport together to see what happened? If necessary, you can use his connections here to help Yun Yeyao.
In the city, there are still quite a lot of people in Yun Yicheng, and as for Xie Yunmeng, Yun Yicheng also wants to observe him to see if it is as reliable as rumored.
"Yicheng, then you agree with your son's matter?" Mrs. Yun was somewhat happy when she saw that her husband was willing to go to the airport in person.
Yun Yicheng glanced at her and said: "I'm afraid that Xiao Yao will cause trouble, that person is a criminal policeman, there is nothing to say, investigating the case is originally his business, but Xiao Yao is always involved in it, what if he gets into trouble?" And Huang Wei's matter, you'd better not get involved, leave it to me to communicate with their boss. β
"Huang Wei has helped Xiao Yao pull a lot of resources in the past, it would be best if you could help him intercede." Mrs. Yun sat down next to her husband and said.
Sometimes, Yun Yicheng felt that his second wife was too kind, and he only thought about others in everything, which made him worry more about things. But if it weren't for Mrs. Yun's character, Yun Yicheng wouldn't have taken a fancy to her back then.
Thinking of his wife in front of him, Yun Yicheng couldn't help but think of his lover who disappeared in the past, that was his first love, and it was also someone he would never forget for the rest of his life. The sea has swallowed her and another small figure, in this life, it is not easy for Yun Yicheng to find a figure, he has no luxury of finding another one.
Sighing in his heart, Yun Yicheng said to his wife: "Forget it, don't talk about this, you clean up, and we'll go to the airport immediately." As he spoke, he looked up at the wall clock with the hands at 1:40.
ββ
The old couple was about to go to the airport, and in the airport over there, the auxiliary police officer Yan Muheng had also arrived, he changed into civilian clothes, and was going to ask the staff to ask Wang Minglang about the situation first.
But as soon as he entered the airport, he immediately felt that something was wrong, there were police officers everywhere, there was not a single passenger, and the staff all looked sincerely afraid, looking at the mountains as if something serious had happened.
"No! I also think it's very strange, the community is only two traffic lights away from our police station, Officer Xie They should have arrived a long time ago, but they didn't find a dead end, he would also call the police station to ask me? But it's been almost an hour now, and I haven't even received a call, and Shen Muyan has no information, so I'm in a hurry to call you to confirm. β
"Brother, I'll contact you about this matter, you can stay in the police station with peace of mind, notify me immediately if there is any abnormal situation, and I will call you back when I contact Officer Xie."
"That's the best, then I'll wait here."
Fu Jun hung up the phone, only to press down a little, he sat back in the office area of the police station, put the mobile phone in front of his eyes, and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, this was the first sip of tea after Xie Yunmeng left.
ββ
Airport entrance
Yan Muheng sat alone in the convenience store, he didn't buy any drinks, just stared out the window, cars of various colors whistling outside, life in the city was a passing cloud for him, and the murder reminded him of the treacherous house in the past.
It was arguably his nightmare, but it was also his home, a shelter for him long after the loss of his biological parents.
Those women are always gentle with him, but he doesn't feel much love, some are just selfish and possessive, only the memory of his youth and eternal heart is the only warmth in the depths of his heart.
But it wasn't me who the eternal heart loved, and perhaps from the beginning, it was just a warmth of mutual comfort, gratitude rather than love. Yan Muheng didn't want his idea to be correct, but he had to admit that Mo Haiyou's coldness and rejection were verifying his idea step by step.
Even if you remember? It's not that I don't have me in my heart. β
When he is alone, Yan Muheng will always be sad and lonely, for his own love and for his life, for so many years, if he does it well, he should have a broader world, but unfortunately, the mental torture and the shadow left by the past have made him decadent for a long time, and he has not fully recovered until now.
He was alone and unfazed, waiting for Mr. Forensic to arrive, which was as unbearable as the blank time to prepare for the start of labor.
Reaching out to comb the hair that fell down to the back of his head, Yan Muheng lowered his eyes, when this man looked at the ground, his whole face would show a pitiful hesitation, several girls sitting on the other side had been secretly looking at him for a long time, after all, the probability of meeting a man who could make people feel excited at first sight was very low.
"But what does this have to do with homicide?"
"I'm not saying that it will have to be related, I'm just guessing whether the 'Yun' on this note is the murderer who wants to draw our attention to Mr. Yun and his son, maybe the criminals who were caught by Yun Yeyao before want to take revenge, or for some other reason, they left this word."
"What other reason do you say?" The police officer put down the paperweight in his hand, his eyes flashed with doubt, he didn't understand what Xiao Xie meant by 'what else reason'?
Xiao Xie continued to say to himself: "I'm also guessing, because it's too much of a coincidence, this villa is seven, I just heard that the villas where Yunyi City lives are also seven, and only two villas in the gardened villa area are duplicate number plates, which are precisely the murder scene and Yunyi City's home." β
"That's true, but this coincidence doesn't tell the story."
But why did the murderer leave a note? And just writing one word, isn't it just to highlight the meaning of the word 'Yun'? Xiao Xie said: "Criminals do not blame unrelated people for their crimes for no reason, and the probability of this happening is almost non-existent." β
The police officer pondered Xiao Xie's words, and he said, "Could it really be that the criminal once suffered the loss of Yun Yeyao and now wants to take revenge?" But I still think it's very unreliable, I heard that most of the people Yun Yeyao participated in were vicious homicides, and the criminals caught in that kind of case really had a chance to kill people a second time? β
"Maybe it's not the criminal himself, but his relatives?"
"I still can't believe it, I think the word 'yun' is just a way for criminals to confuse our vision, and it has no practical meaning at all."
The two of them stood at the long table to discuss this issue, and the police officers could not fully agree with what Xiao Xie said, but from another point of view, these words were also remembered by all the investigators present.
No police officer saw Xiao Xie's movements, and then, Xiao Xie walked to the back of the decorative wall, the body was gone, the barrels were still there, he squatted down, a smell of wine mixed with the smell of blood rushed into his nose, his fingers moved to the part of the wine that was not contaminated by blood, and gently dipped a little and put it in his mouth.
The wine flowed down Xiao Xie's lips and wrists, he closed his eyes, it seemed that he was no longer a policeman, but an idler who was tasting the wine, what the wine tasted Xiao Xie didn't taste, but he tasted another taste.
'Is that the one?' No wonder I kept feeling like something was wrong. Thinking in his heart, Xiao Xie beckoned a police officer and said to him: "Find a way to bring some wine back to the police station for testing, it may be mixed with seawater." β
"So the clues I found are all marked for us by the murderer?"
Hearing Yun Yeyao's statement, Mo Haiyou asked rhetorically, "Why do you think so?" β
"I'll talk about this later, but I'll talk about what I saw in the pickup truck first." Yun Yeyao pointed to the largest car next to him and said: "Generally, pickup trucks are open rear compartments, but this car is fully enclosed, it can be seen that the carriage has been transformed, artificially installed with a roof, and it is perfectly connected with the front of the car when it is delivered, and it looks like a van from a distance." β
Yun Yeyao said while gesturing around the car with his hand, pointing to Mo Hai to look right, Yan Muheng on the side also took a few steps closer to observe carefully, the pickup truck is indeed the same as Yun Yeyao said, the rear roof is not original.
"When I found it, the rear compartment of the pickup truck was open, and there were some bags of small daily necessities and instant noodles inside, as well as leftovers from cardboard boxes, indicating that it was indeed used to transport goods, but it was uncertain whether it was a special airport truck. But this one tells me something. Yun Yeyao pulled Mo Haiyou around the front of the car, pointed to the traces of paper remaining on the windshield in front of the window, and said, "This is obviously just torn off not long ago." β
"Maybe the suspect wanted to cover up the purpose of the car, or didn't want the police to find out what company used the car, and how do you know that the logo on it was torn off a while ago?" Yan Muheng interjected.
"Come and see for yourself, after the paper is torn off, there will be some glue marks on the car windows, and it is easy to stick to dust and dirt, and this kind of truck runs on the street every day, you see the surface of the body and wheels, isn't it all covered with dust? If it had been torn off for a long time, the part that had been left with glue would have turned black, but now that it is so clean, it only means that the window logo was just torn off before we found it. β
"And it wasn't torn by the murderer, it was torn by the person who helped him clean up the scene afterwards." Yun Yeyao's words are very affirmative.
Mo Haiyou's heart immediately thought of the speculation he made at the scene of the murder in the villa, where the scene had also been cleaned up and altered after the fact, could there be any connection between the two cases? He suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to listen to Yun Yeyao's analysis.
Yan Muheng observed the surroundings, but he couldn't see any evidence that Yun Yeyao said that someone had helped the murderer clean up the scene afterwards, so he frowned and stared at Mr. Actor, hoping that he would explain it as soon as possible.
Yun Yeyao said unhurriedly: "Tearing off the car's logo is of no use to the murderer at all, first of all, if the pickup truck is really a special vehicle for delivery at the airport, then the staff at the airport will definitely know where the pickup truck comes from, and the murderer cannot transfer all the staff at the airport, but the police will ask everyone present one by one, so doing so will only speed up the investigation." β
"A neatly trimmed hair can only be done when the victim does not move or cannot move, and if it is said that the victim took the initiative to let the other party cut it, it proves that they are familiar people, that is...... The victim must have been a friend of the pickup truck driver, right? And the person who cleaned up the scene for the second time afterwards was the pickup truck driver. β
"That's right!" Yun Yeyao immediately let out a sound of praise like admiration, and said to Mo Haiyou: "Xiao Zuo, Xiao Heng is really suitable for being your assistant." β
"Don't talk nonsense, concentrate on solving the case." Mo Haiyou's face changed in a second, and he scolded Yun Yeyao in a low voice.
Yan Muheng said to Yun Yeyao: "Xiao Yao, just now you said that you are not sure whether the person who helped the murderer clean up the scene is a shield or a betrayer, but you actually want me to think about the answer, right?" To the murderer, he is neither a shield nor a betrayer, but a person who wants to protect himself. β
"Well, and this person has been caught by us, and now Officer Fu Yan is interrogating them, but...... Officer Fu doesn't seem to approve of my reasoning, which can only be proved by Xiao Zuo, because there are still many doubts at the scene, which are not as simple as they seem on the surface. β
Mo Haiyou said: "Wait a while, I'll go and see the suspect you caught, and listen to how Officer Fu judges, the clues on the body can play a certain role in proving it." Further investigation of other evidence is required. β
The conversation between the three of them ended here, and the police officers who came over had been waiting for a while, and Yun Yeyao only heard that Xie Yunmeng had discovered the third homicide at this time, and he thought that he was not worried that Xie Yunmeng would stay there alone, and immediately went to the alley between Changqing Road and Baita Road.
At the same time, Fu Jun, who was guarding the police station, also received a call from his younger brother and learned that Shen Muyan had died, and Fu Jun immediately reported to his superiors at the police station where he was located, requesting to participate in the investigation of the homicide case with his younger brother.

Inside a house near a garden view villa area
The handsome man asked the dark shadow sitting across the table, "I said, do you really think that's okay?" β
"Almost, there's no other way, that kid will definitely come out." A deep voice replied.
"But I always feel very dangerous, those three people have solved a lot of cases, and we will soon be seen through." The man's tone was full of fear, he was thinking about the person he had known before, and the impression of this person in his mind was very different from the past. That's why he's afraid.
The black shadow comforted him again: "You don't have to worry, even if they see through something, it's all done by that kid, I and Xiaoice have made it together, the incident at the airport is enough to take the investigation steps of the crooked criminal police, not to mention that he can't let go of Xiaoice at all." β
