Chapter 671: The Oath in the Ice and Snow Act Twenty-Nine
His back was seen in a nearby area, and it was said that he was still wearing a police uniform, but when the auxiliary police greeted him, the second witness first fell to the ground, and then suddenly got up and screamed and ran away. The auxiliary police didn't have time to react at all, and when they remembered to chase after him, the man was gone, and the auxiliary police didn't even see his face clearly. β
Mi Xiaodong also thinks that there is a big problem with the witnesses, so they are sending people to go all out to find them. Xiao Zuo, all the puzzles are slowly being revealed, we are not clueless now, I asked Mi Xiaodong to send the corpse part of their side in the afternoon, as long as we finish examining the corpse, tomorrow, or maybe tonight, we may be able to connect all the cases together and find the real root cause. β
As soon as Yun Yeyao's words were finished, Mo Haiyou stepped on the brakes, he parked the police car on the edge of the road, then propped his hands on the steering wheel, stared at Yun Yeyao's eyes and said, "You're still looking for Luo Yifan, right?" β
"Xiao Zuo, I'm sorry, I know about Luo Yifan, even if I don't say it, you can definitely guess it. But the fact is not as you think, it was not Luo Yifan who I went to find, it was Luo Yifan who found me, and before Mi Xiaodong called, Luo Yifan called first. β
Mo Haiyou asked: "What did Luo Yifan say?" β
Yun Yeyao replied: "The other person is in S City, and the purpose of coming here is to see Jiang Xinglong, who has just been released from prison, Luo Yifan didn't know anything, but Jiang Xinglong told him one thing, there is a joint venture in the suburbs here, and it was sued by the worker, the worker suffered from cancer, and it was suspected that it was caused by radiation in the company's factory." β
When Luo Yifan left the meeting place, it was not yet dark, and he immediately set off for Liu Yunzhao's apartment, hoping to get there before dinner, and he had a guess that he might not really see Liu Yunzhao, nor the painter with whom Liu Yunzhao lived.
Why did Yun Yeyao deliberately mention these two people? And Liu Yunzhao's sister Liu Yun? Luo Yifan speculated that maybe they were the victims in the incident. If Luo Yifan confirmed that the house was empty when he got there, then his guess could be half confirmed. In other words, there is a high probability that there has been a homicide over there.
If you can meet the person concerned, then it is natural to inquire carefully. Luo Yifan is still very skilled in the skill of dealing with strangers to find out secrets. Of course, the neighbors will not bother, anyway, Luo Yifan is approaching the core of the incident little by little, and he may be faster than Yun Yeyao and Mi Xiaodong, because Luo Yifan will not play cards according to the routine.
On the second evening after the murder in Lavender Villa, four or five hours after Mi Xiaodong left Liu Yunzhao's apartment, Luo Yifan's car stopped in front of the dilapidated community, and he found a vacant seat at random and parked the car inside.
The car was rented, and since he was here to investigate the case, Luo Yifan would not drive his own car, so he went to the car rental company to rent an inconspicuous car, and also bought a set of overalls at a roadside stall and put it on the outside of his brand-name shirt.
According to the house number given to him by the lawyer, Luo Yifan quickly found the house he was looking for, walked into the damp cement floor, and there happened to be an old woman going out to take out the garbage, Luo Yifan smiled and greeted with thunder: "Auntie, is there a painter living on the second floor here?" β
The old woman looked at him vigilantly, as if she wanted to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, an old man's irritable voice came from a certain room on the first floor: "Hurry up and come back after throwing away the garbage, don't talk nonsense, other people's affairs have nothing to do with you!" After saying that, there was also the sound of a cane hitting the ground in the room, as if the old man inside was angry.
"There used to be a painter here, but he moved out a few months ago, and I don't know where he lives now." The girl seemed to be calm on the surface, and her voice was not abnormal, but Luo Yifan found that her hand hidden in her sleeve was trembling slightly.
Luo Yifan continued to ask quietly: "Which apartment building did the painter live in before?" Can you point me to it? β
The girl's eyes wandered a little, and she replied to Luo Yifan: "It's the first room at the entrance of the corridor, and someone has moved in now, so I can't help you ask." β
As soon as he heard her answer like this, Luo Yifan's pupils immediately became gloomy, but his face and the smile on the corner of his mouth still did not change, the girl's words had already revealed her secret, and she must be involved in Liu Yunzhao's case.
But Luo Yifan feels that this girl may not be an actual participant in the case, but a person who has been deceived and used. Because from the time Luo Yifan walked into the house to the present, the fear and hesitation exuded by the girl have never stopped.
Luo Yifan knew that he was not afraid of himself, but afraid of the police who had come before, which showed that after the police came, she realized that what she did involved a crime, so she stayed alone in the house and was upset.
"I want to know more about that painter, does he have a friend named Liu Yunzhao who also lives here?" Luo Yifan changed his attitude of going around in circles just now and began to ask directly.
This sentence made the girl tremble violently, and looked at Luo Yifan with wide eyes, the admiration and excitement just now also faded by more than half because of what the man said now, and the girl's eyes were stained with doubts, as if she was doubting what Luo Yifan had to do with the police.
But what a person is afraid of, often comes. Luo Yifan actually said: "I'm sorry, I just told a little lie in order to find a chance to talk to you." In fact, I was entrusted by the police to come here to understand the situation, because the police found out that you knew Liu Yunzhao, but they came twice, and you didn't tell them the truth. β
"After Liu Yunzhao and I made a deal, he first gave me 2,000 yuan, and then showed me the wig and some cosmetics he bought himself, and asked me if I could use it, and after I picked a few of them, he gave me another photo." The girl took out the photo from the drawer and handed it to Luo Yifan, and continued: "He asked me to wait for her message every month, as long as he called me, I would dress up as the woman in the photo at one o'clock in the middle of the night that day, and go downstairs to meet a young man." β
Chapter 405 Luo Yifan's Investigation IV: The Apartment Girl's Story
"It's not difficult to do specific things, Liu Yunzhao just needs to pretend to be arrogant and look down on people after I meet, and make that young man believe that I am his real girlfriend. He said that the man I wanted to meet was supported by his girlfriend, so he listened to his girlfriend everywhere. β
Luo Yifan asked her: "Is the person Liu Yunzhao asked you to see is Xu Qing?" β
"No, it's a young man I don't know, he looks a little similar to Xu Qing, but I can make out that it's definitely not the same person. Although Liu Yunzhao said that the man would listen to me very much, in fact, I felt that he looked down on the woman I played in his heart, and even hated it a little. β
"Why are you so sure?"
"Because of the subtle movements, whenever I approached him, tried to hook his arm or simply tried to get closer and talk, he would lean back slightly. Although he didn't reject me, I knew that he had always resisted me in his heart. I don't understand this kind of feeling, but I think that if a man really loves a woman, he will take the initiative to hold the woman and coax the woman, instead of avoiding it, just like you, I once saw you and your wife together at the airport, at that time, all I saw was love, and the doting in your eyes. β
But he either didn't want to look at me, or gently pushed me away. I even feel that I am being used by Liu Yunzhao and the woman's boyfriend in the photo at the same time, of course, this is just my feeling, there is no basis. I also told Liu Yunzhao about this feeling, but Liu Yunzhao just sneered at me and didn't want to say anything. β
"Later, presumably, in ...... Yesterday morning, Liu Yunzhao called me and told me an address, he asked me to be there before 9 o'clock in the morning, when I dressed up and hurried there, waiting for me was actually Liu Yunzhao himself, he looked very frightened, hiding in an abandoned warehouse, I was startled at the time, I didn't know what was going on, but I had already received Liu Yunzhao's last money, so it was not good to turn around and leave immediately. β
Then Xie Yunmeng's corresponding action will go directly upstairs from the inside of the house and knock on the door of other people's rooms, although disturbing in the middle of the night without explaining the reason will make the people who live here very angry, especially the lady, but Xie Yunmeng is for their safety. Moreover, Wen Yuan would definitely give Xie Yunmeng a round, because on the surface, she asked Xie Yunmeng to stay here to help. She also promised to do her best to help Mr. Criminal Police no matter what.
In this way, you can also directly know whether there are few people upstairs, and whether the male owner of the house, Fu Zhi, has gone back to his room to rest.
The best result is that Fu Zhi, Wen Yuan, Canglu Lu, Xu Qing and Bai Yun are all there, even if the mysterious person really went out through the stairwell window, Xie Yunmeng can also arrange for the male host to go directly to the East House to confirm the safety of the hostess, and let Wen Yuan help calm everyone's emotions here. And he has another thing to do, which is to determine which room Yong Poppy lives in. The arrangement of the room in Yong Poppy is strange, and until now, none of them have explicitly mentioned it.
Time passed minute by minute, Xie Yunmeng soon heard the footsteps walking into the living room, and the sound of a man humming softly, he couldn't hear the tune clearly, but Xie Yunmeng immediately heard the identity of the person who came. Instead of continuing to crouch in a place where he couldn't see the kitchen door, he stood up and poured himself a glass of water as if nothing had happened, and placed the small flashlight in his hand on the edge of the glass along with the key.
In less than a few seconds, a man's inquiring voice came from behind Xie Yunmeng: "Officer Xie, why are you here?" β
Xie Yunmeng turned his head unhurriedly, and what he saw in front of him was the person he guessed, the male owner of the lavender villa, Fu Zhi. Fu Zhi was still wearing the clothes he had seen yesterday evening, and he was holding a large bouquet of lavender flowers in his arms.
"Oh, I can't sleep in the middle of the night, come here and get some water to drink." Xie Yunmeng replied, shaking the water cup in his hand.
"But why don't you turn on the lights?"
"There's no need to turn on the lights, I have a rechargeable flashlight on my key, which is very practical." Xie Yunmeng pointed to the top of the glazed platform and said, then he changed his words and asked Fu Zhi: "Aren't you going back to the East House to sleep?" Why is it still here? β
"That's true," Mo Haiyou said, "Now these two directions cannot be ruled out, they are the most likely cause of Liu Yun's cancer." However, I still think that the possibility of radiation is relatively high, because in addition to the inspection of cosmetics, we also conducted a detailed examination of Liu Yun's subcutaneous tissue and internal organs, and although there were residues of cosmetic ingredients, the results were far from exceeding the limit. β
"And hair loss, damage to the internal tissues of the eyes, all have a lot to do with radiation. For example, working in front of a mobile phone or computer for a long time, or being exposed to radiation caused by irregular production for a long time, etc. But the problem now is that we can't find any evidence from the watershed's life circle that she was addicted to electronics, or that she worked in a factory. This makes me wonder if our guesses are simply wrong, or Liu Yun is deliberately covering up certain behaviors in her life so that no one can find out. β
When Mo Haiyou was analyzing and reasoning, Yun Yeyao had been recalling the scene of the autopsy just now, Liu Yun's face was calm, but his eyes were wide and he was looking straight ahead, and there seemed to be anger in his pupils. This may indicate that she saw the murderer before she died, and if this is true, then it further confirms their suspicion that Liu Yun was willing to die in order to expose the murderer, and she already knew that her life was short before she died, so she made such a decision.
Yun Yeyao said: "Xiao Zuo, I think maybe it's not that Liu Yun is deliberately covering up some behaviors in life, but someone is deliberately helping him cover up, this person is not easy to say at the moment, maybe it's Liu Yun's brother Liu Yunzhao, maybe it's the murderer himself." But I always have a feeling that Liu Yunzhao obviously did not touch the core of the incident, and he would be the first to be killed, which shows that he has no use value for the murderer. β
"How is it possible for a person who has lost his usefulness so early to know the whole plan of the murderer? What we investigated was Liu Yun's behavior during the day, and I think it is necessary to investigate her behavior at night in depth, and according to the neighbor's confession, no one has ever seen Liu Yun go out at night. But Liu Yun's house is on the second floor of a small high-rise, if you deliberately want to hide the eyes of the people around you, it is not a very difficult thing to leave the house at night, women may be more delicate, but if someone often answers, it is another matter. β
"How the hell do you know?" After thinking about it for a while, Yun Yeyao still threw the question back.
But Luo Yifan didn't seem to plan to stop there, he said: "You don't care how I know, answer my question." β
"All I can say is that we are indeed investigating the homicide at the moment, and the information you have provided is very important to us, and a full and detailed investigation has begun into the case of workers suing the company. As for the rest, I will hear your answer before I can explain it to you. These words came from Mo Haiyou's mouth, and Yun Yeyao had already turned on the speakerphone.
"Well, let me tell you, in fact, I didn't think of any homicide at first, and after the call with Xiao Yao ended, I went directly to the lawyer in question, and in addition to learning the details of the worker's complaint, I also learned that the company was related to a person named Liu Yunzhao. And this Liu Yunzhao seems to be suspected of illegal fundraising and fraud. β
But at present, the lawyers are only suspicious, and there is no way to collect more evidence. So after I came out of the law firm, I went straight to Liu Yunzhao's apartment. I got a very important clue when I got there, I think you went twice in a row, and you didn't find that the little girl who lived next door to Liu Yunzhao was actually an actress, right? And during this time, she was also hired by Liu Yunzhao. β
"Actors? Hire? Could it be that ......" Yun Yeyao muttered in a low voice, and when he heard Luo Yifan's words, he immediately thought of Wen Yuan, an elderly woman in front of the warehouse who had induced Xie Yunmeng.
"Yifan, hurry up, hurry!"
The male owner of the lavender villa encountered strange things in his own room, and at the same time, the two people living in the other room were not easy, they were Xu Qing and Bai Yun, who had not been explained for a long time.
Now it seems that Bai Yun, this woman, has been dyed with a layer of weird and terrifying colors, because in the eyes of the criminal police, she is a dismembered corpse. And in the eyes of the insiders of the Lavender Villa, she is still alive and well.
Which one is really Bai Yun? Which one is a deceptive illusion? Now I'm afraid only the little couple in the room knows best.
At five o'clock in the morning, Bai Yun woke up from her sleep, she opened her eyes and looked at the man lying beside her, the man was still sleeping deeply, his chest was slightly undulating, so that Bai Yun couldn't bear to wake him up.
Reaching out and groping for the bedside table, Bai Yun picked up a cigarette from the bedside table without getting up, a woman like her occasionally smokes because of pressure, but not always.
When the cigarette was lit, Bai Yun exhaled a breath from her mouth, watching the breath mixed with tobacco slowly rise, she was a little sluggish for an instant, and she didn't know what to think. The appearance that is usually strong and accustomed to it is not seen at all on a woman's body at the moment, maybe only when Xu Qing is asleep, she is like this.
Bai Yun didn't know how many years she hadn't been loved, at that time, in order to take revenge on the man who abandoned her, she came to this lavender villa as a guest, and often came after that. During the days of frequent gatherings, she found that the outcasts were not alarmed or sorry for her arrival.
She also realized that she hadn't made her hatred worse by seeing the outcast. On the contrary, everything between the two people faded, whether it was feelings or hatred.
Through calm and seemingly unfazed exchanges again and again, Bai Yun slowly realized that she had made a mistake and a mistake, and the wrong payment was because the outcaster had never loved her at all, and it could even be said that she had never loved anyone.
Just when the two of them were stuck because of the footprints on the windowsill, Xie Yunmeng, who was at the tip of his ears, suddenly heard the sound of the rubbing of flower branches and grass blades from outside, although the sound sounded far away, Xie Yunmeng could still hear that it seemed to be the sound of people crawling.
The criminal policeman immediately became alert, he gently pushed away Xu Qing's body blocked by the window, poked his head out of the window and looked around, there was nothing in the large lavender flower field to the west of the house, and the wind rustled the flower branches.
Xu Qing asked curiously on the side: "Officer Xie, what's wrong with you?" β
"I heard the sound of people crawling in the flower field."
"The sound of someone crawling? It's impossible, maybe someone gets up early and walks in the flower field, the flower branches here grow very tall, if the girl gets up early, she usually walks into the depths of the flower field, and you can't see the figure, will you hear it wrong? Xu Qing pondered and said.
"Probably not!" Xie Yunmeng insisted on his opinion, with his experience, it was impossible to hear the wrong whether the people outside were walking or crawling, so Xie Yunmeng immediately turned around and walked in the direction of the living room, he wanted to see if anything was happening on the front of the house.
Xu Qing followed him and stepped into the living room with a few steps, the living room was no different from yesterday, and there was still a lavender bouquet left by Fu Zhi in the middle of the night on the table, because it was laid flat, so some of the water contained in the bottom of the bouquet flowed out, and it was slowly dripping to the floor along the corner of the table.
The two of them didn't care about this, Xie Yunmeng quickly bypassed the dining table and opened the door of the West House of the Lavender Villa, when the scene outside the door appeared in front of him from the first moment, Xie Yunmeng was angry, like a volcanic eruption, in the heart of Mr. Criminal Police, this red and hot anger almost drowned him, because there was not one person lying outside the door, but three people!
Of these three people, the first one can be sure that he is dead without looking too much. The second lay face down on the ground motionless, covered with dirt and blood, and the ground around him was already stained with a large patch of blood, and even if he did not die, it was estimated that the injury was not light.
The third is the person crawling on the ground, her upper body is lying on the steps in front of the door, the open wound can be clearly seen in the gap between her hair, the blood flowing from the top of her head makes it difficult for this person's eyes to open, she wants to get up and knock on the door, but she has no strength to move forward for another half a minute!
Mr. Detective quickly turned sideways into the gap, then stepped on the wall with both feet, left and right, and within a minute crawled in front of the thing wrapped in the sheets, and when he pulled back the corner of the sheet and looked inside, a trace of surprise quickly passed in his eyes.
Without any hesitation, Xie Yunmeng untied the rope tied to the sheets, stuffed the sheets back into the window where they hung with the contents along with the contents, and then turned over and followed into the room, so that he was back on the second floor of the Westinghouse.
Entering a place where no one could see, Xie Yunmeng quickly picked up the things in the sheets and sent him to another room diagonally opposite, and when everything was done, Xie Yunmeng exited the room and closed the door, glanced at the watch on his wrist, the time was close to 7 o'clock in the morning, Mr. Criminal Police did not walk away, but stood in place and listened silently to the movement in the room.
ββ
"Sister Wen Yuan, I found the medicine box, Canglu Lu took out a small white box from the kitchen, and said excitedly to Wen Yuan and Xu Qing, and then the three of them began to hurriedly treat the wounds of An Lingxiang and Bai Yun on the sofa.
Wen Yuan was the most experienced person among them, so this matter was naturally led by her, Xu Qing and Canglu Lu became helpers, and the first thing to deal with was the wound on Bai Yun's head, which was very deep and was still bleeding out.
Xu Qing carefully lifted his girlfriend's upper body, let her lean on herself, held the injured head in her arms with both hands, and said to Wen Yuan: "Eldest sister, let's stop the bleeding for her first!" β
Wen Yuan rummaged through the contents of the medicine box and said, "At present, only white medicine can be used, you hold on and don't let her move, Lulu, you hurry up and go to the kitchen to pick up a basin of water, and then get a clean towel, and don't forget to boil a pot of hot water." β
"I'll go right away." Canglu Lu responded to the sound of washing out the kitchen, and immediately the two people in the living room heard the sound of clanging and busyness next door.
When An Lingxiang narrated, she naturally started talking about it yesterday afternoon, perhaps because of the guidance of Xie Yunmeng's question. An Lingxiang herself is a child-like woman who has nothing to speak of, in the face of such a huge fright, if she wants to say that she has a plan, no one who should be here will not believe it, including Xie Yunmeng.
In order not to interrupt the hostess's train of thought, Xie Yunmeng has been listening quietly and never asking questions unless necessary.
"Yesterday I spent most of the day in my room, and I didn't see anyone, but in the afternoon I watched them play cards for a while, and in about an hour, I went back to the Westroom. When I returned to Westinghouse, I wanted to go upstairs to reconcile with Xiao Zhi, but I didn't expect to meet him in the stairwell, and the two quarreled again. β
"Later, Xiao Zhi went to the living room to help the maid with housework, and I went upstairs directly, and I didn't know what I wanted to do on the second floor of the Westinghouse? Probably just because I'm angry and don't want to go in the same direction as Xiao Zhi! But that's when something strange happened. β
"I had just passed by the door of Xiao Zhi's room, and suddenly a person came out of the room and pulled me into the room."
When An Lingxiang said this, Fu Zhi walked out of the kitchen and asked, "You mean that someone entered my house yesterday evening?" β
"Yes, it's the same Wu Xinghan you met with Liu Yunzhao last time," An Lingxiang responded, but she didn't know that her words made Xu Qing on the side stunned, Wu Xinghan This person Xu Qing also only heard his name but didn't see him, but he didn't expect Fu Zhi and Liu Yunzhao to know each other, who is he? Xu Qing moved forward curiously, listening carefully to An Lingxiang's continuation.
Xie Yunmeng did not ignore Xu Qing's reaction when he heard Wu Xinghan's name, Xu Qing would be so curious, at least it means that he also knows Wu Xinghan, so he has to pay attention to Xu Qing's every move.
An Lingxiang continued: "Wu Xinghan seems to have climbed into Xiao Zhi's room from the window, he said that he was not discovered by anyone, and he wanted to hide in the lavender villa for a day, and he would leave the next night, I was scared at first, and I didn't want to believe his words. Moreover, I found that the walls of the windowsill in the room were all footprints left by Wu Xinghan. β
Xie Yunmeng asked Bai Yun: "Are you feeling better now?" β
ββ¦β¦ Not bad. Bai Yun didn't know how to answer, this usually arrogant woman, at a critical moment, was just a beautiful lantern with papier-mΓ’chΓ©, and her heart was actually extremely fragile.
She looked at Xie Yunmeng's eyes and said: "I don't know why I got up early this morning, I have always felt very uneasy, I came to the living room to wash up at about half past five, there was no one in the living room at that time, but I could vaguely see a figure shaking outside the window, I thought it was Xiangxiang who lived in the building next door, so I took the initiative to help her open the door." β
"But I didn't expect the door to open before it was straight, and I saw something flashing brightly overhead, if I hadn't squatted down in a hurry, I guess my life would be dead now. Because it was so sudden, I didn't fall down immediately, but ran out the door after my attacker. β
"I don't know where I got the courage, as soon as I walked outside the door, I saw the face of the attacker, it was the male owner of this villa, Fu Zhi, who was still holding a knife in his hand that cut me, there will be no mistake, the person I saw is Fu Zhi!" An Lingxiang said in a very firm tone that he was expecting Mr. Criminal Police to accept her words in full.
But this kind of words made An Lingxiang on the side completely unbearable, An Lingxiang immediately retorted: "Impossible, I am the first person to be attacked, and I also clearly saw the face of the attacker, it is Wu Xinghan, it must be Wu Xinghan, his face is easy to recognize, it is completely different from Xiao Zhi, Officer Xie, you believe me, Xiao Zhi will never kill anyone, Sister Yun must have seen it wrong!" β
"I read that right! It's not been a day or two since I've known Fu Zhi, can't I even remember a person's face? Xiangxiang, it's okay for you to protect your boyfriend in other things, but this is a deliberate injury, to kill us, why do you still protect him? β
"No, Sister Yun, listen to me, what I saw was really Wu Xinghan, I didn't lie to you." An Lingxiang retorted vigorously, she looked very weak, and she looked innocent and wronged.
Xie Yunmeng stopped them from continuing to quarrel, and turned around and asked Xu Qing, "Have you seen Wu Xinghan?" β
Now everyone's emotions are very excited, and the inquiry can only come to an end, Xie Yunmeng said to An Lingxiang; "Miss An, please don't interject for the time being, what is the truth? I'll look into it. From now on, you don't want to leave this living room, and if you don't mind, I'd like to take a look at your room. β
"I don't mind." The first person to answer was Xu Qing, judging from Xu Qing's expression, he didn't seem to have any secrets to hide, and he seemed very calm. However, there is really nothing to mind when a man visits a man's room.
The person who answered Xie Yunmeng immediately was Wen Yuan, Wen Yuan, like Xu Qing so far, had been listening silently most of the time, and at this moment she opened her mouth and said: "Officer Xie, the girl's room is always a little inconvenient, do you see if you can investigate the room of Xiaoqing, me and the male host first, if you really can't find any clues, then go to Lulu, Xiaoyun and Xiangxiang's room, okay?" β
"Okay, but I'll say it again, you'll have to get together while I'm checking the room. It is still not certain who the attackers were? In case it was Wu Xinghan who was hiding in the shadows, it would be very dangerous for someone to be alone. So before I come back, I ask you not to go it alone. β
This time, everyone nodded in agreement with Xie Yunmeng's suggestion, because they didn't want to be attacked again, especially An Lingxiang and Bai Yun, who were already injured.
