On the evening of September 18, 2013

Exterior of the amphitheater

At this moment, the people in the hotel lobby have all gone back to the guest rooms to sleep one after another, some have gone to the entertainment room, and those who stayed in the garden have also been arranged by the hotel manager to the banquet hall on the second floor, just to make room for Xie Yunmeng and Yun Yeyao to move.

At this moment, the faces of the actors and the criminal police are very solemn, the case is getting more and more complicated, Xie Yunmeng was asked by the General Bureau of S City to fully cooperate with the investigation of the case here, and he is now discussing countermeasures with Yun Yeyao.

"Why is the General Administration over there asking you to cooperate with the investigation?" Yun Yeyao asked.

"Because one of our forensic doctors may also be involved in the murder and arson of the Siddens villa, and the only two survivors of the Siddens villa have not yet been found, and the police have only received an anonymous phone call. The content is that two survivors of Villa Siddens have infiltrated the hotel, and that a forensic doctor from S City is working with them to investigate the truth of the case. Nothing else was said. ”

"How many bodies have been found in the Sidtens Villa?"

"Three." Xie Yunmeng had already answered this question just now, so he looked at Yun Yeyao a little strangely.

Yun Yeyao shook his head and said, "You're talking about two half-body corpses and a man's complete body. There were also a lot of corpse parts. But these do not prove that there are only three corpses, why did the murderer divide the corpses? What is his purpose? We don't know anything about what we want to cover up. Moreover, the testimony provided by Ye Lin can prove that last year's incident was definitely a foreshadowing made by the murderer for this murder. ”

"I have informed the local police about Yelin, and they will soon send someone to take Yelin away and extract her confession. The local police also believe that the murder incident that occurred in our city last year is inseparable from the Siddens villa incident, so they will contact the General Administration of S City. But now the question is, the killer still has no idea who it is? We can't afford to startle the snakes, and the General Directorate means that I will secretly investigate in the hotel to find out the real culprits hidden here, as well as the survivors and the missing forensic doctors. ”

Xie Yunmeng frowned tightly when he spoke, looking preoccupied, and he continued: "The matter is very tricky, the murder incident at the Sidtens Villa cannot be announced yet, and all the guests can only stay until the end of the party on the night of the 19th, that is to say, we only have one day and one night, and we have to start acting immediately." ”

"Xiao Yao, I have also considered the number of corpses you said, but all the evidence at the scene has been burned, and even the corpse pieces have been burned to shrivel and deformed, and it is completely impossible to piece together a complete corpse. The forensic department needs to examine it piece by piece, to determine which part of the body it is, and then piece it back together bit by bit. It was a difficult and lengthy process, and it was impossible to determine exactly how many bodies there were in a day or a night. Xie Yunmeng looked at Yun Yeyao after speaking.

Yun Yeyao asked, "Xiao Meng, have you all investigated the true identity of the guest?" ”

"This has been checked a long time ago, and the identity information registered by all personnel has been compared by the computer, and there is no problem. The hotel and the park have been secretly searched for places that can be entered, but the forensic doctor and the two survivors have not been found. ”

"Do you mean all the places you can get into? Is there a place in the hotel that has been closed before? ”

"Yes, the Blue Rose Cafe on the right side of the hall, and the amphitheater above the café, those two places were sealed off as early as the night of the 16th, according to the hotel manager, and the amphitheater could not be opened until the day of the premiere for fear of being spoiled by the audience. The café will be closed for about two or three days because the boss who contracted him has something to do temporarily, but it will definitely open on time on the day of the premiere, because if the café is not open, you can only use the safety exit to enter the elevator hall inside, and it will be very troublesome if there are many audiences. Xie Yunmeng explained to Yun Yeyao.

"The night of the 16th was the night of the murder at the Siddens villa, and the murderer was still in the villa at that time, and it was impossible for us to come to the hotel, so we completely ruled out the possibility that the missing person was in the café and the amphitheater."

After listening to Xie Yunmeng's words, Yun Yeyao fell into deep thought. The criminal police are right, according to the comparison of time, it is indeed impossible for anyone to hide in those two places. But......

"Xiao Meng, did the fire break out before dawn on the 17th, or after dawn?" Yun Yeyao asked suddenly.

Xie Yunmeng was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "It should be when the sky is just dawning, about four or five o'clock in the morning." ”

"Xiao Meng, hurry up and call the hotel manager over, I have something to ask him."

Looking at Yun Yeyao's anxious expression, Xie Yunmeng knew that he must have thought of something? So he immediately stood up and wanted to find the hotel manager by himself, but he didn't expect to be held down by Yun Yeyao.

"Don't go... This murderer is so cruel, he has already committed such a big case, no matter what obstacles he encounters, I am afraid that he will jump off the wall in a hurry...... So, we can't be separated, otherwise...... I'll be upset. Yun Yeyao said the last four words, his voice became very soft and soft, since he knew about the case of Siddens Villa, he had actually been worried, more than himself, he was afraid that his friend would go wrong.

Yun Yeyao knows Xie Yunmeng's character very well, no matter what kind of criminals this person encounters, he will desperately arrest him regardless of his own safety, just like the hostage incident told by the old criminal policeman on the snowy mountain a year ago, Yun Yeyao has not told Xie Yunmeng so far, he knows about it. In the eyes of the old criminal policeman, this is what a good criminal policeman should do, but in Yun Yeyao's heart, it has become the reason why Xie Yunmeng is afraid every time he goes to the police.

After a pause, Xie Yunmeng didn't insist anymore, but called a plainclothes policeman to explain a few words, asking him to go to the hotel manager immediately, and he sat down again. Xie Yunmeng has always been very affectionate, and he has never seriously thought about why he protects Yun Yeyao? Therefore, I can't fully understand the meaning of Yun Yeyao's words.

However, since Xiao Yao said that he was uneasy, then he was willing to stay, unless he needed to arrest the criminal immediately!

Trying to avoid the thoughts in his mind that had nothing to do with the case, Yun Yeyao said to Xie Yunmeng: "I think we have to open the Blue Rose Cafe and the amphitheater and go in and check it out." While there is still time, you must not let go of any place, even if it is impossible, you must check it before making a conclusion. Also, I think it's important to find a way to get the owner of the café to come along and take the survey. ”

"Yes," Xie Yunmeng replied, "I immediately informed the police on the periphery to find the owner of the Blue Rose Cafe and ask him to come to the hotel and open the door immediately." ”

"No, Xiao Meng, we can't wait for him to come, the time is in a hurry, you have to break down the door first." Yun Yeyao looked more nervous than just now, and he had a very bad guess. But it's impossible to say yet.

This made Xie Yunmeng a little embarrassed, and said: "The Blue Rose Cafe is a private contract, and it is not a hotel management at all, and I have already reported the situation of the café to the bureau, and the local police and plainclothes personnel cooperated with the investigation. ”

"But, little Meng......"

What does Yun Ye Haruka want to say? There was a rush of footsteps behind the two people, it was the hotel manager who came over, and as soon as he arrived at Xie Yunmeng's side, he immediately asked, "Mr. Criminal Police, is there anything wrong with me?" I didn't let any of the upstairs guests leave, and now I want to have a good time at the reception in the lobby on the second floor, and I have already reported to the hotel owner about the cost, and he said that it is all contracted by our hotel. ”

The hotel manager couldn't wait to report the situation upstairs, he was sweating profusely, and he could see that he was also very nervous, this kind of thing happened, it was a fatal blow to the hotel operation, maybe in a few days, they would all lose their jobs. In this regard, the staff of the hotel must have felt uncomfortable in everyone's hearts.

Without waiting for Xie Yunmeng to speak, Yun Yeyao asked first: "Your investor is the hotel owner, is it Mr. Luo Yifan?" ”

"Yes." The hotel manager replied immediately.

"Also, what time does the Blue Rose Cafe close? Do you know? ”

"I don't know the specifics, but I asked their employees, and it seems that they received a call from the boss at about two o'clock in the morning on the 17th, saying that it was closed with the amphitheater and asked them to rest at home temporarily."

"What kind of person is the owner of the Blue Rose Cafe? Have you seen it? ”

"No, only on the phone with her, it should be an older woman, at least listen to the voice...... I'm in my 50s. ”

"And when did the amphitheater close?"

"It was around 8 o'clock in the evening of the 17th, and the last worker came to my side to register when he left."

Yun Yeyao turned around and asked Xie Yunmeng: "Have you already read the registration information?" ”

"Yes, we've already looked into all the registration information." Xie Yunmeng had been listening carefully to the conversation between the two people, so he answered very quickly.

After sending away the hotel manager, Yun Yeyao said: "No one in the hotel knows that Luo Yifan is one of the survivors of the Siddens villa, and the anonymous insider didn't say that the two survivors in the villa have already mixed into the hotel, and now whether they are suspects or not, since the hotel manager can call Luo Yifan, we can find out Luo Yifan's location at the moment, I suspect that Meihua, Ms. Fan, and Mr. Forensic are all with Luo Yifan, It is possible that one of them is the murderer in the Siddens villa, so it is very dangerous for these people to be together. ”

"In this way," Xie Yunmeng stood up again and said, "Xiao Yao, you go with me, call the person in charge of the task force, report the matter of the Blue Rose Cafe, and find Luo Yifan's location There will be professionals to deal with it." As soon as it is approved, we will immediately break down the door and investigate. ”

"Will it take a long time?" Yun Yeyao asked.

"No, because now all the people related to Villa Siddens have entered the hotel, so the response of the task force will be very fast."

The two of them left the hotel lobby quickly, and as they walked, Xie Yunmeng dialed the phone number of the police station. And at this moment, 'Wei Jun', who was quietly hiding in the corner of the entertainment room, also immediately followed behind them. 'Wei Jun' seems to be looking for an opportunity to say something? But he was hesitant. Xie Yunmeng just mentioned that Luo Yifan is now one of the suspects, which makes 'Wei Jun' very scared.

In fact, the true identity of this fake Wei Jun is still a mystery. Whether he came in pretending to be He Yan, or the waiter who spied on Xie Yunmeng in the café, or if he had another identity, we don't know.

In the early morning of September 17, 2013

Interior of the amphitheater

Xie Yunmeng now fully understands the specific circumstances of the serial killings in the Siddens Villa, and he also carefully inquired with Luo Yifan about the internal structure of the villa and the time when everything happened.

Only then did he begin to make preliminary reasoning with Luo Yifan, and now there was only Ms. Fan in the audience, and she was now the luckiest of all the victims who were attacked by the murderer, and she was actually packed in a large wooden box, only slightly injured.

Mo Haiyou asked Luo Yifan: "On the night of the 15th, before you went upstairs, the two Mrs. Sweetheart and Crispy Heart cleaned up the dinner plates, and then Mrs. Crispy went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and Mrs. Sweetheart stayed in the living room to clean up, can you be sure that you didn't mistake the identities of these two people at that time?" ”

"Absolutely impossible, the way to tell these two old ladies apart is very simple, that is, one has tooth decay and the other does not have tooth decay. Mrs. Sweetheart has a very bad tooth decay because she loves sweets, while Mrs. Sweetheart looks much better on the surface. ”

"This doesn't fully mean that they can't swap identities after disguise, if Mrs. Sweetheart deliberately allows herself to increase tooth decay beforehand, and Mrs. Sweetheart goes to fix her teeth. Can you still be so sure of their identity? Mo Haiyou questioned.

For this, Luo Yifan can only admit that he can't be sure, but he still said: "Mrs. Sweetheart is the victim, and Mrs. Sweetheart has been staying in the room and has been engulfed in the fire, if they are murderers, why don't they arrange a way out for themselves?" ”

"We are not talking about the specific identity of the murderer, but who has the opportunity to act. According to you, Sweetheart and Crispy Hate to have someone help them with their chores, which means that only Mrs. Crispy has been to the kitchen alone after dinner, so only Lady Crispy can kill people in the kitchen and turn on the gas to prepare for an explosion, unless someone sneaks into the kitchen after you have slept. ”

"It could also be that the deceased in the kitchen was the first victim, and judging by the level of decay you described, the time of death also coincides. As for the corpses that were still bleeding, they were obviously not decomposed, and should not have come from the bodies of the corpses in the kitchen. In that case, I think there are two dead people in the kitchen, or at least someone who moved the body of one of the dead people in the room to that place. ”

"Continuing further, I don't think the murder in the kitchen was done all at once, the murderer first killed the first victim, then cut off the body from the waist down, hid the body, and finally left the kitchen as if nothing happened. All he had to do was hide the body under the kitchen counter and lock the door, the glass wall facing the living room was half opaque, and you couldn't be looking at the kitchen too much. ”

"Assuming that this thing was indeed done by Mrs. Crisp Heart, let's not study what method the old lady used to do it? Based on judgment of time and behavior. Mrs. Crispy killed the stunned victim in the kitchen, then went to sleep with everyone as if nothing happened, waited until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and then sent back to the kitchen to hang the upper body of the corpse, replaced the original lower body with the corpse parts, and then turned on the gas in the kitchen, locked the kitchen door, and left with the lower body of the corpse, and continued to hide it somewhere else. It makes sense that the flies fly in this way. ”

"Flies have a very sensitive sense of smell, and the smell of dead people can be smelled even through the doors and walls. They must have been in the kitchen the second time the killer entered the kitchen. At this point in the analysis, the most likely person to act is only Mrs. Crisp Heart. If Mrs. Sweetheart is the murderer, then Mrs. Sweetheart must be inextricably linked. ”

"In this way, before you get up at 12 o'clock, there should be two people dead, the first is the mysterious victim in the kitchen, and the second is the deceased who has been cut into pieces, possibly the deceased in the room of the 'red-eyed ghost'. The murderer made a noise at the door of your room in the middle of the night, and extended the scratches on the floor to the door of the house of the Red-Eyed Spirit, I think he was deliberately trying to guide you to the discovery of the body. ”

"Here I believe you are telling the truth, so our contradiction has arisen, as I just said, if the crisp heart acts, the sweetheart can't be found. And you said that the relationship between the two ladies of Sweetheart and Crispy Heart is very good, they have never married in their lives and have always lived together. It should be impossible for two people with such a deep relationship to kill each other. So I still think that both of them are either complicit or innocent. ”

"Before you entered the room, you heard what seemed to be a sweetheart or a crispy heart, so you used your key to open the door to the 'Red-Eyed Ghost' room. Stating that the door was not locked from the inside by the killer further confirms the fact that the killer wants you to find the body in the room. ”

"You see Mrs. Sweetheart being put in a marijuana bag and thrown on the only bed in the middle of the room, when there was no blood around the bed and floor. And Mrs. Sweetheart is still alive. Here a new suspicion arises: first, can an old lady over sixty years old, after her lower body has been cut into corpse pieces, still notice other anomalies in the room, and stand upright in an instant to point you out? I don't think it's possible, in this case, it's already a miracle that the old lady didn't die, and even the screams, I don't think she should have the strength to make them. ”

"Second, if half of the old lady's body had been cut into pieces by the murderer before you entered, then the blood would have gushed everywhere long ago, and it was impossible for a sack alone to stop the large amount of blood gushing out of the body. When you run out of the house to meet with everyone, you don't have any blood on your body, which is a very unreasonable place. ”

"Third, to go back to the previous question, you judge the identity of the sweetheart on the basis of a familiar face and decayed teeth, but a person's face will change when the face is distorted due to extreme pain. Tooth decay can also be formed in advance by eating more sweets and not brushing your teeth, which does not take long. Therefore, I think it is possible that Sweetheart is deliberately playing the corpse. ”

"You have a certain sense of rejection of the 'Red-Eyed Ghost and God' house, so you haven't lived in it once since it was built, and the two ladies of Sweetheart and Crispy Heart know a lot more about this house than you, and they do something in it, such as digging a hole in the bed and the ceiling on the first floor, and then covering it up with some kind of decoration downstairs. It is not impossible to hide the prepared corpse parts in this way. Mr. Luo, have you taken a closer look at the sack on your sweetheart's body? ”

"No, I saw that there seemed to be a person in the sack, so I immediately rushed over to help her untie it, and at that time I didn't realize that there might be a murder, so when I opened it and saw Mrs. Sweetheart's appearance, I was immediately frightened, and the sack did not continue to be uncovered."

"That's right, it's possible that the bottom of the sack extends all the way under the bed, didn't you say that the color of the sheets and duvet covers was deliberately modeled after the color of magma? Even if the red color of the magma is stained with blood, you may not notice it right away. Of course, part of this is complete speculation, and it will take the police officers who investigate the scene to prove its authenticity. Let's say the body is hidden under the bed, and Mrs. Sweetheart is standing on top of the bed and pretending to be in pain. She directs your attention to the blood-smeared wardrobe of horrors and makes you wonder if there's anything else in the closet. ”

As you turn your attention to the closet, Mrs. Sweetheart suddenly lets out a second scream, and then transfers the body pieces below, and her lower body quickly sinks into the hollow under the bed. The sack that slid downward, and Mrs. Sweetheart's upper body, as well as the blood gushing out, could cover the marks of the hole in the bed, and the scattered corpse pieces would of course roll everywhere. As long as the police officer who investigated the scene proved that someone had indeed dug up the bed, then my inference could be valid. That's why as soon as you leave the room, the killer locks the door from the inside. ”

"If she doesn't lock it, you may enter the scene a second time, and at that time, there are so many people that the secret under the bed is in danger of being revealed."

Luo Yifanzai listened carefully to Mo Haiyou's analysis, and he said: "I admit that it is indeed possible for Mrs. Sweetheart to do all this, and according to your analysis, the sudden appearance of the masked man can also be explained. When I saw a large amount of corpses and blood, I was terrified and wanted to go out immediately to check on the others. When I threw myself at the door, Mrs. Sweetheart, dressed in a mask, was already waiting for me at the door, and she quickly ran past me to get my attention, and then Mrs. Sweetheart, who had risen from the bed, left the room from the other side of me. ”

"The room of the two ladies of Sweetheart and Crispy Heart is next door to the house of the 'Red-Eyed Ghost and God', and as long as Sweetheart conceals the door in advance, Sweetheart can easily hide in the room. Then, when I got outside, she locked the door completely. Sweetheart just needs to quickly change her clothes and rush out of the room with everyone. ”

"But there are still two things that don't make sense here, the first is that the sweethearts are over sixty years old, and they have been hunched over in recent years much more than before, and they can't act so quickly. And the masked murderer I saw was not only able to move quickly, but also straightened up, like a young man. Secondly, if Mrs. Sweetheart stays with the corpse all the time, her body and feet will be stained with blood anyway! When she changed rooms, why didn't there leave any marks on the floor? And the two sisters simply didn't have time to erase the traces. ”

"There's another problem, and that's the problem of tooth decay that you've been emphasizing: if Crispy Heart deliberately let her teeth decay out in order to disguise her sweetheart, I admit it makes sense. But now it's Crispy Heart who has replaced the sweetheart in the room who disguised the corpse, so it should still be Mrs. Sweetheart who rushed out of their room afterwards, I remember seeing her teeth at the time, at least there were no cavities where I could see! How did they disguise their cavities? ”

Mo Haiyou nodded and said: "I admit that the first two parts you said are indeed very unreasonable, but the third question I think you have cooperated with the teacher for so many years, so you shouldn't have such doubts, special effects makeup can change the shape of a person's entire face, not to mention the appearance of a few teeth!" Whoever it is? If you want to deliberately learn about this knowledge, there is still a chance! What's more, it's the sweetheart lady who has been in contact with you all year round. ”

After hearing the rebuttal, Luo Yifan realized that his analysis was indeed not careful enough, so he chose to be silent for the time being and continued to listen to Mo Haiyou.

"Whatever? One thing I must admit is that in this murderous operation, the requirements for speed are very high, and a little slower may reveal a flaw. Mo Haiyou said: "Next, all the remaining people came out of the room together, according to your thinking at that time, the missing people in the house were Merlot and the 'dead' Sweetheart Lady." So is it possible that the identities of Meihua and Merlot will be swapped? ”

Luo Yifan thought for a moment and replied: "Impossible, I can definitely recognize Meihua's voice, it must be Meihua who was present at that time." ”

"Well, I guess it's very likely that the first half-body to die, hung in the kitchen, was Merlot. Meihua must have survived until the early hours of this morning, otherwise she would not have appeared in this amphitheater pretending to be Meile. This also proves in disguise that when you escaped from the Siddens Villa, Meihua also escaped together in any way. ”

"Mr. Luo, no matter what you say, I still think that it is Meile who died in the villa, and Meihua who appeared in the theater. Although the key reasons for this have not yet been clarified, it is certain that Meihua Meile and Crispy Sweetheart are absolutely inseparable from each other in this case. After you were locked up from the house of the 'Red-Eyed Ghost God', you didn't see the corpses of Meihua and Shuxin at all, and the only people who actually died in front of your eyes were Wei Jun and the female corpse in the kitchen. And I think Merlot is the only one who is really missing. The reason why the killer wants to burn down the whole house is to cover up the entrances and exits that you don't know about, and the tricks that the twins may play with each other! ”

"For Villa Siddens, the people who are most familiar with it are the people who live in it every day. And those who can add secret entrances and exits to the villa without knowing it can only be done by those who live in it every day. So I don't think you have to blame yourself for not saving Meihua and Shuxin from the villa, it's very likely that they are the ones behind the scenes who want to kill you. ”

"Also, what is that, when he found Wei Jun's body, he should have focused all his attention upstairs, why did he find the corpse in the kitchen that he hadn't paid attention to? This is a suspicion of deliberately leading you to find corpses and gas! This may indicate that the murderer in the villa doesn't want to kill you, he just doesn't want you to know more secrets. Immediately after completing the killing, use the explosion to kick you out of the house. ”

"Mr. Luo, think about it carefully, when you and He Yan were searching the living room and lounge on the first floor, did he have any strange behavior?" Mo Haiyou asked.

At this time, Luo Yifan also realized the problem he had overlooked, and said: "Indeed, I didn't carefully check the inside of the living room at that time, but went to the lounge, and wanted to enter the kitchen from the lounge to check, the doors and windows in the living room were all locked by He Yan, why didn't he find such an obvious corpse in the kitchen before?" But you have to wait until Wei Jun dies to suddenly find out? One more thing, before I was ready to enter the kitchen, He Yan, who had been acting relatively calm, suddenly questioned the fact that my clothes were not stained with blood! And it looks very nervous. It seems that He Yan's suspicion is also rising. ”

"Yes, Mr. Luo, this matter can only be completed with the cooperation of at least two murderers, and we must spread the suspicion target, and we can't just target one person. We will contact the teacher right away, tell him all the analytical reasoning, and ask the teacher to inform the local police. ”

Mo Haiyou's mention of the police made Luo Yifan suddenly think of Xie Yunmeng, who was about to come to the garden party with Yun Yeyao, and he immediately said: "On the night of the 18th, there will be a criminal policeman from your hometown, and he will come with an actor to attend the second garden party, I have already sent them a distress message, but when they escaped, they were hindered by the crazy He Yan, and they didn't finish the message, they may be able to help." ”

"What's that detective's name?" Mo Haiyou asked.

"I don't know, but I know the actor's name, it's called Yun Yeyao. It's the one that looks like you. ”
