Chapter Twenty-Three: The Guests of Lucifer's Villa and the Strange Purpose of the Roof
"I'm sorry, I was a little emotional just now, in fact, it's normal for you to be suspicious, after all, there was such a bloody murder, and everyone is still besieged here." Mrs. Lucifer preempted the others and said that she could still see a faint flush in the corner of her eye, which was the result of rubbing hard, and some of the makeup had been wiped off.
She continued: "You can ask me any questions you can ask me down, and I will answer them in detail, whether you believe me or not, in short, the most important thing is for everyone to cooperate and find a way out." ”
Regarding her words, Mo Haiyou still looked serious and noncommittal, Xie Yunmeng was very useful, and smiled at Mrs. Lucifer, and the worst little actor Yun Yeyao finally relaxed.
Mrs. Lucifer took a handkerchief and arranged the coffee cups one by one on the table, and took out a small sticky note, on which she was going to write the name of everyone who had ever drunk coffee.
"Are you going to mark them all?" Yun Yeyao came over and asked.
"Yes! Aren't these coffee cups going to be tested by the police in the future, and if they are marked first, won't it be easy for the police to know who used each one? ”
"Then I'll write the sticky notes for you, and you tell me their names." Yun Yeyao is very active, it will be very uncomfortable to be besieged here and do nothing, he doesn't want to do this.
Mrs. Lucifer barely managed to squeeze out a smile and said, "Okay, let's start with the guy on the balcony." You sit here first," she gestured to the chair beside her. ”
After Yun Yeyao sat down, Lucifer's ex-wife spoke again, she handed the first coffee cup fragment to Yun Yeyao and said: "This coffee cup that is broken in half and cracked is used by the tall and thin man under the curtain on the east side of the balcony, his name is Binbai, the guest's Bin, white of white." I don't know what my surname is, but I'm 33 years old and a sand painter. ”
"Oh." While responding, Yun Yeyao quickly wrote on the sticky note. "Alright, ma'am, next."
"Hmm... This one is complete is the balcony curtain on the west side of Ms. Pang's cup, she placed on the floor sofa, not broken. Ms. Pang doesn't like to be called by her first name, so we all call her by her English name, Candy. ”
"Hey!! It's a lady's ?!! Yun Yeyao was very surprised, the fat man under the curtain didn't look like a woman, fat and rough, and her facial features were very masculine.
Mrs. Lucifer explained, "Candy has a very gentle personality. She is also very good at taking care of people, and those of us who often meet together treat her like a big sister. Candy is 41 years old, she opened her own small shop, specializing in designing hats for people, and business has started to boom in recent years. Well, I remember you had a magazine cover with a hat that seemed to be designed by Candy, and it was worn diagonally like this, with an angular edge. ”
Mrs. Lucifer said as she gestured on her head, maybe Yun Yeyao was more impressed by this issue of the magazine, and he remembered it at once.
"It's the 56th issue of 'Glamorous Men', right? I remember buying the hat at a place called 'Lady Kanty's Hat Workshop', oh Ms. Kanty, that's her! ”
During the conversation, the intact white coffee cup is labeled with the words "Kanti Candy" written on it.
The next turn was the unconscious man sitting in a chair, 26 years old, who had a very strange English name: Jasmyn, which means jasmine. Yun Yeyao recorded while criticizing in his heart that this man did not match Jasmine's appearance.
However, the man's job matches the name, he is the owner of a flower decoration shop, and he is said to be very good at craftsmanship and the business is also very popular.
The woman who fell under the sofa at the man's feet was called Yourui, or she could be called Xiao Ai. Apparently slightly injured, Mrs. Lucifer explained that she was the 'moving bone corpse' who had just been punched down the stairs by Forensic Doctor Mo, but this incident could not be entirely blamed on Forensic Doctor Mo, because there were not enough slippers in the house, and Yourui was wearing high heels at the time.
I didn't expect Mo Haiyou to make a move at all, maybe he didn't think that a bloody 'corpse' would be pretended to be a girl, so this matter can only be said to be at fault for both of them.
Yurui is 21 years old and has no job, but her parents seem to be rich. She likes mature dresses, and she is also very bold, like Mrs. Lucifer, she is basically not afraid of any kind of ghosts and demons.
Neither Yurui nor Jasmyn's coffee cups shattered, and Yun Ye Yao quickly labeled them separately.
Then it was the turn of the girl leaning on the low staircase in front of the clock in the room, and this girl was the maid, Miss Chenmeimi, who was 23 years old this year, but she looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old.
How did she end up unconscious? Yun Yeyao and Mrs. Lucifer couldn't figure it out at all. Miss Mimi doesn't have a coffee cup by her side, and she's a hired maid in this family, so she shouldn't drink the coffee prepared for guests, and Mrs. Lucifer also proved that although Mimi is usually slippery, she still behaves in a proper manner, and the crushed coffee cup in front of the stairs at the entrance to the living room should be the one she used before.
When Mrs. Lucifer left the basement level, the coffee had already been drunk, so there were no brown stains near the crushed coffee cup, which also proved what she said.
Yun Yeyao asked, "Could it be that the guest invited Miss Yan Meimi to drink a cup of coffee?" Then she drops into your coffee cup. ”
"How is this possible, Xiaomi never uses my things, even if everyone invites, she won't drink it. Because we often play pranks among ourselves, Xiaomi is very taboo to be laughed at. Former Mrs. Lucifer flatly denied Yun Yeyao's question.
With a puzzled look, Yun Yeyao turned around and asked Mo Haiyou's opinion.
Mo Haiyou replied: "I don't know very well, but Madame's words can be believed this time." He seemed to mean that he was saying that Mrs. Lucifer's other words needed to be suspicious, so Yun Yeyao immediately glanced at the woman beside him, and sure enough, he saw the face of trying to restrain his emotions.
"Alright, the coffee cup matter is settled," said Mrs. Lucifer, standing up, "what about everyone's lunch, it's half past one in the afternoon, and before everyone wakes up, shouldn't we settle this problem first?" ”
"Xiao Yao, it's inconvenient for me, you go and prepare lunch with your wife." Mo Haiyou asked Yun Yeyao to stare at his wife, although Yun Yeyao's face was a little embarrassed, he still readily agreed.
Xie Yunmeng, who had been standing near the staircase to observe the situation up and down, said: "I'd better go up and see the situation of the corpses above, maybe I can find some breakthroughs from the roof." ”
Hearing her words, Mrs. Lucifer stood up and said, "No, the roof here is built to store water, so it is full of square pits like waffles." The roof floor is so thick that there is simply no place to get out. ”
"Why store water?" Xie Yunmeng asked.
"Because my ex-husband is a very dull person, he built this house completely so that he can quietly immerse himself in the world of his novels, so not only is the location remote, but ordinary people can't find it at all."
"But what does this have to do with water storage?" Yun Yeyao didn't understand very much, and interjected to ask.
"It has a lot to do with it! The villa is in a remote place, surrounded by rocks, one side is close to the sea, it is difficult for the water pipe to get here, my ex-husband has a lot of relationships and has not been connected to the water pipe, and W City is a northern city, cold, dry air, not too rainy. ”
"That's why he designed such a roof, there is a special pure water equipment in the roof compartment, which is connected to the underground water storage equipment through some pipes, and when the sea water fills the roof groove every morning and evening, it will be directly desalined by the pure water equipment, flow into the water storage tank, and then come out of the tap through the tap water pipes we have installed ourselves, and we drink this water every day."
"Oh! No wonder I always feel that there is a salty smell in the tea, it turns out that way. But are you not afraid that the tide of the sea will pour into the house? Yun Ye asked.
"Don't worry at all, all windows and doors in the house are sealed and impermeable, we are familiar with the law of high tide, and we will close all the entrances and exits of the house in time before the time arrives."
After explaining, Mrs. Lucifer beckoned Yun Yeyao to go into the kitchen to prepare simple food, and Xie Yunmeng also gave up the idea of going upstairs, and instead began to study the cuckoo table clock here, when he walked towards the cuckoo table clock, Mrs. Lucifer unconsciously glanced at his back.
