Yan Muheng's eyes were fixed on Xiaoice's face, without any waves, he couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart, Yan Muheng at this time was more like the wise and ruthless person in the treacherous house. We have said before that his dual personality has merged to a certain extent, perhaps as a result of the experiences over the years.

Therefore, it can also be said that he is able to control his own mind, treat different people, and show different personality traits. Yan Muheng inexplicably hates the woman in front of him, and there is no specific reason, he just hates it. If it wasn't to figure out what the hell she did? Yan Muheng will not act with her all the way.

Recalling what happened just now, Yan Muheng's brows furrowed slightly, and he quickly returned to normal. Standing up straight away from the wall and patting the dust off his shoulder, he looked up at the ventilation holes in the ceiling.

The square outlet is connected to the pipe inside, and the outlet is covered with a lid made up of horizontal bars.

"What are you doing?" Xiaoice asked.

Yan Muheng just snorted lightly and did not answer, Xiaoice was a little angry, and asked again: "Hey, why are you so rude?" I'm asking you! ”

“…… If it were you, would you be able to climb in? After more than ten seconds, Yan Muheng asked a rhetorical question without a tail, confusing Xiaoice.

"Huh?! Where to climb? ”

"This snorkel, of course."

"Are you crazy?! I don't know how many years it has been used here, it's full of dirt, and there are bugs and centipedes, you let me climb in! Why don't you climb yourself?! Xiaoice asked Yan Muheng with round and beautiful eyes, and his eyes almost fell out of the apricot kernel socket.

Yan Muheng explained lightly: "If I can get in, do I still need you?" ”

"I'm not going! There is no connection between here and before. Xiaoice coldly refused.

Retracting his gaze, Yan Muheng looked at Xiaoice again and said, "Is it not possible to communicate here and before?" Are you kidding me? If you look at the traces on the ground, there are obviously blood stains left by the corpse, if it is not connected to the front, how can the person surnamed Wang find the corpse? ”

"Perhaps...... Maybe the murderer killed someone here and moved the body to the front. ”

"Could it be that the murderer dragged the body past the beach in broad daylight, and then swaggered into your store, and you didn't notice any of it, selectively blind?"

Looking at the handsome face of the man coming over, Xiaoice only felt the threat emanating from his body at the moment, and could only say: "I don't know, what do you like to think." ”

"Then go in, I'm going to prove where is the other end of this ventilation pipe?"

"No need to prove it, it leads to the roof, and there is a gap in the roof for ventilation."

Xiaoice's answer obviously couldn't make Yan Muheng believe, and he pulled the woman's sleeve, obviously angering the other party again.

Xiaoice shook his arm sharply and said loudly: "I'm not going!" What are you doing? You're not a detective?!! ”

"I'm an auxiliary police officer."

"No matter who you are, you can't control my actions without evidence, that's a crime."

Looking at the woman who had just been gentle and elegant, but now she was hoarse, Yan Muheng sneered in his heart, he really couldn't do anything to this woman now, but it would be difficult to say in the future.

Either she didn't let herself be caught with any evidence, or she waited for the law to come to her first, so many people died, and this murder happened even more quickly than the treacherous house, which was unexpected.

Yan Muheng didn't want to be verbose, his gray brain cells kept thinking, there was indeed no other entrance and exit in the basement, except for the place to enter, there was only the ventilation port on the top here.

'Where is the place where you enter the cellar?' ’

The gaze slowly shifted from the vent to the other place, and there was nothing but cobwebs and dust on the ceiling.

"There is no electric light in the hallway, it seems to be in the room just now, but unfortunately it is too dark, if I can find the light switch......

With the thought, Yan Muheng moved to the room with furniture and beds inside, and Xiaoice watched him move vigilantly, motionless, still leaning against the edge of the corridor wall.

Without stepping into the door frame of the room, Yan Muheng just stood at the door and looked at the situation inside, falling into deep thought.

——

Xiaoice waited, waiting for Yan Muheng to be negligent, she didn't know what she wanted to do? Just fear, an uncontrollable fear.

In this family, there is no one to help her, a worker and a stranger have died, no matter what, Xiaoice feels that she can't get out of it, even if she defends, she will not be trusted by the police.

'Rather than that, I'd better ...... first'

The feet slowly began to move, Xiaoice's hand on the door frame opposite Yan Muheng, and at this moment Yan Muheng was still staring at the opposite room with all his attention.

I have to wait, I can't be in too much of a hurry. ’

Forcibly suppressing her fear, Xiaoice warned herself, her eyes never left Yan Muheng's back for a moment, and the tall back she once longed for, but not in this situation, nor the person in front of her.

Finally, when the opportunity came, Yan Muheng stepped into the opposite room, he probably thought that the entrance and exit would be under the bed, or thought that it would be in the corner covered by the table, in short, he temporarily disappeared from Xiaoice's line of sight.

Seizing the only opportunity, Xiaoice quickly moved somewhere, where you can enter the wine cellar, she is the owner of this family, how to enter the wine cellar knows better than anyone, now except for Yan Muheng, everyone else is gone, so as long as you avoid Yan Muheng, Xiaoice can temporarily make herself safe.

In the future, let's think about it later, in the heart of a panicked woman, safety comes first.

Unfortunately, sometimes stupid ideas do not bring safety, and as soon as Xiaoice opened the hidden door, the person was carried backwards by a force.

At the same time, large hands came around her back and hugged her waist.

"Be honest with me, I'll warn you one last time!"

Yan Muheng's sudden words brought Xiaoice a fear with despair implied, as if facing a murderer, Xiaoice instantly collapsed in his arms like a deflated ball.

"Really, it's as simple as connecting the basement to the cellar." Yun Yeyao got out of the taxi and was still muttering there, Xie Yunmeng told him that the way to enter and exit was so simple that it was not possible, but he didn't guess it, how could he not be annoyed?

"You! It's just that I've been too lazy lately, so my brain has regressed. Xie Yunmeng pointed to his temples and teased Yun Yeyao.

The place where the two of them walked was the police station where Xiao Xie was, Yun Yeyao inadvertently looked up, and Mo Haiyou was actually standing at the door of the police station.

"Little Zuo? How did you get there before us? ”

After blurting out a question, Yun Yeyao instantly realized that this was another unclear question, so he immediately shut up and walked to Mr. Forensic in a huff.

"What's wrong? Haruka? Mo Haiyou asked Yun Yeyao, but his eyes looked at Xie Yunmeng.

Mr. Detective spread his hands and said, "I didn't answer my question, it's like this, he thinks that his brain cells have been degenerating recently." ”

"You've just degenerated your brain cells! Fool! Yun Yeyao scolded, pulled up Mo Haiyou and walked to the police station, Mr. Forensic glanced at Xie Yunmeng when he turned around, with a cold light in his eyes, Mr. Criminal Police immediately had black lines on his head.

'Who did I provoke?' It's really a bully...... ' sighed in his heart, Xie Yunmeng reluctantly followed into the police station.

The second person who greeted them was an unexpected person - Xiao Xie.

"Hello." Xiao Xie greeted him, and originally wanted to thank the three people and ask them about the progress of their work, but they were directly ignored by Xiao Zuo and Xiao You, and were left in place.

"Uh...... I'm sorry......" Looking at Xie Yunmeng who came from behind, the second monk of Little Xie Zhangzhang was confused, and he didn't know what to say.

"Officer Xie, I'm sorry for causing you too much trouble."

Xie Yunmeng stopped and said, "It's nothing, they're not angry because of your affairs, you don't have to take it to heart, by the way, when did you come back?" Why don't you answer the phone? ”

"Forensic Doctor Mo and I went back and forth, about half an hour ago. Let's talk about the specific situation at the director's office first. ”

"Okay."

The two police officers surnamed Xie walked in side by side, and from behind, Xiao Xie was much thinner than Xie Yunmeng, and his shoulders were not very wide.

Walking into the director's office, Bureau Zhao was already waiting, and there were two other people next to him, namely Fu Yan and Fu Jun.

After saying hello, Xiao Xie said: "At present, the two cases have been merged, because the scope is too wide, the General Bureau is fully responsible, Officer Fu is the leader of the special case team of this case, and our police department is responsible for cooperating with the investigation." ”

"When I came back just now, Bureau Zhao had already told me the decision, and he wanted you to join the task force and pursue the case with us."

When Xiao Xie spoke, Fu Yan and Fu Jun were silent, especially Fu Yan, whose face was very serious, as if Xie Yunmeng was not welcome to participate in the investigation of the case.

However, it was the director's intention to let Xie Yunmeng participate, and after Xiao Xie finished speaking, Zhao Ju immediately pulled Xie Yunmeng over and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Xie Yunmeng pondered for a moment and said, "I need to talk to you alone. ”

As soon as he said this, it was obvious that the three people behind him were stunned, and Fu Yan's face became even more gloomy.

Xie Yunmeng didn't pay attention to their faces, and more than a minute later, he and Zhao Ju stood at the door of the office.

"Bureau Zhao, we just came back from the beach, and the current situation is not what we imagined."

"What's the difference?"

"Our opinion is that all the clues presented to the police at the moment may be false tricks, including the suspects caught at the airport. You also know that two more bodies were found on the beach, and on the surface, things that seem unrelated are actually similar in many places, and they are deeply related. Xie Yunmeng said.

"This murderer is very smart, he wants to cover up the facts, and he has set more than one curtain for us, but we don't have strong evidence at the moment, so if I participate in the investigation of the task force, there will inevitably be disagreements."

"Is there a disagreement between you and Fu Yan about solving the case?" Zhao Ju didn't quite understand what Xie Yunmeng meant.

So Xie Yunmeng told Mo Haiyou's analysis of the beach, and then said: "At present, Officer Fu thinks that the three people at the airport are the breakthrough point of the whole case, as long as they pry their mouths open, the case will progress, but Forensic Doctor Mo and I don't think so." ”

"I'm not saying that Officer Fu's judgment is in the wrong direction, but that we need to take a different investigation route with him, no matter who is right, we must divide our forces and let Officer Fu break through from the suspect, while Xiao Yao and I go to find clues separately, so that nothing goes wrong."

"Xiao Meng," Zhao Ju said in a deep voice: "Fu Yan also told me some opinions, including some doubts about you, I didn't want to say it, but now that Forensic Medicine Mo has guessed it, I will no longer hide it, Fu Yan has always been upright and not afraid of offending people, but he is serious and responsible in handling cases, and his ability is well-known in our place." ”

Xie Yunmeng said: "I understand what you mean, Director, we don't blame Officer Fu, Yan Muheng's private actions did bring some negative effects, it is normal for Officer Fu to be suspicious, as for whether we have handled cases inappropriately in the past, these can be understood as long as Officer Fu sees the case information left at that time." ”

"The most important thing is the case in front of you, you and the director of the General Bureau will decide to investigate the case together, I believe that you have recognized the connection between the cases, please agree to my request, let me and Xiao Yao investigate separately, we will definitely give the task force a satisfactory investigation result."

“…… Okay, I'll call the General Administration later, report your situation, and as long as the other side agrees, I will do as you say, but, Xiao Meng, Fu Yan also wants to inform you. ”

"I know, I'll tell him myself."

"No need, if the General Administration agrees at that time, I will come and tell Fu Yan, you concentrate on investigating the case, and report back to the task force in time if you have clues, Fu Yan is fully responsible for this matter, and you can't bypass him."

"I understand, and I also believe that in the face of the case, Officer Fu will work together, but I still want to ask you for two more helpers."

"Who?"

"Yan Muheng and Xiao Xie."

"You mean to let Xiao Xie leave the task force?"

"No, Zhao Ju, I want to ......" Xie Yunmeng leaned close to Zhao Ju's ear and said a few words, and Zhao Ju's face immediately became serious.

"Xiao Meng, isn't this appropriate?"

"I know, but this time you must help me, not for anything else, just for the case, and doing so will also help Xiao Xie."

"Then what are you going to tell Fu Yan then?" Zhao Ju asked.

"When the results of the investigation come out, I will tell him and the plate myself, this is also for Xiao Xie's good, Zhao Ju, you have always felt that Xiao Xie is an honest person, and we believe so, but without this method, we can't get evidence."

In the end, Zhao Ju thought twice and agreed to Xie Yunmeng's request, but Xie Yunmeng never thought that the investigation plan set today would plunge them into a deeper whirlpool in the future.

The night always seemed so helpless, but beautiful, and the man sat alone on the doorstep with a small marble in his palm, the only toy he had since childhood, nay, until now.

In the huge house, every inch and every cent is not his, and although he uses it, it never belongs to him.

'My mirror will soon shatter......

The stars in the sky are shining, but the man can't see hope, that hope is not destroyed by others, it is precisely himself, it stands to reason that a man should not complain, should not hate, should have self-blame. But he didn't, because since he was a child, the last emotion he had was self-blame.

Lowering his head and opening his fingers, the marbles slowly rolled down his fingers to the ground, bouncing down the stairs section by section, and he watched as he watched, behind him, there was a faint glint in the house, like a flashlight, like the reflection of the moonlight on the mirror.

The door of the house was hidden, as were the curtains, and the scene inside was blurry, just like the obscure mind of the man at this moment.

He took out a glass bottle from his pocket, looked at it, and threw it into the distance, and inside the glass bottle was a white dandelion.

When there was a cracking sound, the man muttered, "Next year, if I am alive next year and you sprout, then we will always live here and never be separated." ”

With that, he turned and walked back to the house, and the moment he turned around, the stars illuminated his face, which was a miserable white face without any facial features, and the meridians squirmed slightly under the white skin, like ghosts.

——

Fu Yan and Fu Jun sat in the police car together, and what Zhao Ju said at the meeting just now was still echoing in Fu Yan's ears, and he didn't understand some things, so he kept silent.

Fu Jun drove while looking at his younger brother, his younger brother has always been excellent at work, but in this case, his younger brother always seemed to be in a fog, maybe it was the arrival of the trio that destroyed his original thinking mode.

"Xiao Yan, what are you thinking?"

"Brother, what is the purpose of their separate investigation? Zhao Ju opened his mouth today, and I can't refute it, but I always feel that this matter is not simple. ”

"Bureau Zhao won't make a decision casually, I think he let Officer Xie act alone, there must be his considerations, you just need to try your best to solve the case, there is no need to think so much."

"By the way, brother, did you go to the beach and see any clues?"

"No, when I arrived at the beach, the restaurant and tavern were closed, I didn't see anything, maybe I was late, I didn't walk a few steps before I received a call from you, and I came back directly." Fu Yan replied honestly, but it made his brother's brows furrow even tighter.

"Brother, you are always so sloppy, that's why you can't be promoted, you've always been a little police officer at the police station."

Listening to his younger brother's complaints, Fu Jun laughed a few times, he always doted on Fu Yan so much, even if he was reprimanded by his younger brother, he didn't care, Fu Yan could only hold his forehead and sigh.

He shook his head and continued: "Anyway, there is no result from discussing this matter with you, since they are going to act alone, then let them go, anyway, the clues must be concentrated in the task force, you are responsible for getting in touch with them and reporting to me in time." ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Fu Yan said, stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove onto the highway, he looked at the front with a calm and serious gaze, as if he was determined to help his younger brother solve the case and make some achievements.

——

In the basement of the winery

Xiaoice was caught off guard by Yan Muheng pulled back and hugged her waist, she knew that she couldn't run away, so she gave up resistance and asked: "Mr. Yan, how do you know that I am going here, I obviously saw you enter the room." ”

"Do you think it's still necessary for me to check the place that Officer Xie has just checked?" Yan Muheng let go of his hand and asked rhetorically.

Xiaoice looked up at him, this man was too tall, she needed to take a few steps back to see his face clearly, because the door of the wine cellar was opened, so the dim basement just now became much brighter, and the ceiling light in the wine cellar was always on.

"I was going to follow you from the beginning, you are the owner of the winery, how can you not know where the cellar is? You refused to tell me for the only purpose, and that was to escape through the door of the cellar. So I pretended to believe your word and went on my own to find the so-called passage to the cellar. ”

"I first wondered if there was anything wrong with the ventilation duct in front of you, and after you vehemently denied it, I turned my attention to the furnished room, giving you the impression that I was desperate to find a clue from it. But it is not appropriate to rush into the room and let you move freely, and you will suspect that I deliberately avoided you and wanted you to do something. ”

"So you've been standing in the doorway hesitating, as if you want to go in and investigate, but you're afraid I'm going to run away, right?" Xiaoice said indignantly: "Polishing my patience, and also, you make a terrible appearance, aggressive, but also to make me more afraid, so that as long as I act, you can immediately find the entrance and exit of the wine cellar." ”

"So smart, Xiaoice, I have indeed been pretending to be cold to scare you, but this has nothing to do with you wanting to escape, you have a ghost in your heart, so you can't wait to get rid of me, right?"

"Nonsense! It's you who have been scaring me, I want to avoid the limelight for a while, hide and think about what to do in the future, the homicide happened in my house, and the most troubled person is me!! Xiaoice hoarsely voiced, tears in his eyes.

At this moment, Yan Muheng's gaze softened a lot, and he said: "Regardless of whether you have anything to do with the homicide case or not, if you want to get rid of suspicion, you must act with me and answer my questions honestly, do you understand?" ”

"Humph!"

After speaking, Yan Muheng walked into the door that Xiaoice had just opened, and Xiaoice behind could only follow him, with a reluctant face.

At this point, where is the cellar door? This little puzzle should also be solved, it is on the side of the stairs from the top down.

It's as simple as that, first of all, the basement is dim, the walls are full of dust, and a new person entering the basement will definitely be attracted by the scene in front of him, and will never turn his head to look in either way first.

Especially bold people like Xie Yunmeng and Yan Muheng, no matter whether there are handrails on both sides of the stairs, they won't care.

Secondly, the entrance to the basement goes down, the staircase is four or five steps away from the wall, and the following is suspended, and the space occupied by these four or five steps is not noticeable, and it is easy to ignore the past, but the door of the cellar is precisely on the wall there.

In other words, unless you enter the basement and find a door on the side, it is difficult to guess where the door to the cellar is. Xie Yunmeng and Yun Yeyao both focused their thoughts on the basement, so naturally they didn't think that there was a cat at the entrance.

It was night, and it was as dark as inside and outside the basement, which was one of the reasons why Xie Yunmeng was negligent.

In this way, it makes sense for Xie Yunmeng to find the wine cellar because of Master Wang's exclamation, just such a big place, Master Wang screamed, and he could immediately identify the direction from which the cry came, so Xie Yunmeng followed the sound to find the wine cellar door, opened it and rushed inside, and found the body and witnesses.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
