Chapter 848: Ten Occupants Act 16
"Chasing the murderer? So how did you end up here again? Yanagihashi asked sternly.
"I don't know! I followed the murderer around the room, not figuring out the route. Finally got around here! I thought the killer had burst into the room and saw you. ”
"But why didn't you notify the detective directly when you found out about the murderer? But you have to chase it yourself, aren't you afraid of danger? Lian Fan behind him continued to make trouble.
Shan Mingze's mood at the moment changed from fatigue to panic, and he defended loudly: "I saw Grandpa Liu fall down, and a black shadow disappeared from the bathroom, so I chased in, Mr. Xie and Miss Mei were not in the house at that time, if I notified, it would only cause everyone's panic, and you will directly suspect that I am lying." ”
"Because no one sees the shadow but me, does it?"
Shan Mingze's rebuttal did not attract much sympathy, everyone still questioned him deeply, and it is no wonder that in this villa besieged by heavy snow, any little suspicion will be infinitely expanded, not to mention that Shan Mingze is indeed very suspicious, at least yesterday he did have time to commit the crime.
Seeing that everyone didn't want to believe themselves, Shan Mingze swore a curse: "If I have a lie, I won't die well!" Thundered by the sky! ”
Lu Haoyu interjected and said, "I don't know if it will really be thundered by the sky!" Anyway, this kind of gambling and swearing is just to comfort the psychology of the person concerned, you will still do what you want to do, unless you come up with actual evidence, we will not believe you. ”
"Also, don't you have a rib injury? Pull it apart and show us! Lu Haoyu said sharply.
"Just look," Shan Mingze didn't care about it in order to prove his innocence, in front of the little girl in the house, he pulled up his shirt, and sure enough, there was gauze wrapped under his chest, the gauze didn't look like it was freshly wound, and some of the corners were already out of the skin, and the blood was seeping to the surface.
From the corner of the gauze, you can see the wound of the skin and flesh turned over, as well as the traces of frostbite, Shan Mingze pulled his clothes and said, "You should believe me this time, right?" ”
But it was still Lu Haoyu who answered him, and the 'gentleman' said word by word: "The wound just proves that you are Shan Mingze himself, and nothing else can prove it." ”
Yun Yeyao said on the side: "Xiao Heng, you have already determined everyone's location, anyway, except for the restaurant and here, they won't go to other places, what is the matter with everyone during the day today?" We all meet here, Xiaomeng and Xiaoxiao will be around at any time to protect us, let's hurry up and start moving. ”
"Action? What should I do? Yan Muheng asked.
"Of course, it's to find clues that the murderer left in the secret passage, there were so many things that happened yesterday that none of us checked them carefully, except for revolving around the corpse, we were investigating the secret space of the house. There have been two homicides in a row here, and there is a wall smashed by Xiao Meng not far away, so we must first find out the cause of death of Meng Qier and Shu Xue. ”
"Moreover, I also have some questions for you to verify about Meng Qi'er."
When Yun Yeyao mentioned Meng Qi'er, it was obvious that something in Yan Muheng's pupils was fleeting. Yun Yeyao didn't miss it, he kept his original appearance and said, "This is not the place to ask questions, let's go upstairs now." ”
What Yun Yeyao said was very reasonable, and Yan Muheng couldn't find a reason to refute it, and he didn't let him act alone, so what was there to be afraid of, so Yan Muheng decided to do what Yun Yeyao said and improvise.
The two men finally left the door, and when they were far away, the door was opened a crack, and a pair of women's eyes peeked out from the inside, and then the door slammed shut again.
The woman returned to the room and said to the man who was sitting down, "No problem, Yan Muheng didn't suspect anything?" ”
"I don't understand a little, why everyone's whereabouts should be hidden from Yan Muheng, isn't he the one who helped the criminal police from the beginning?" The man asked.
But the woman in front of him couldn't answer the question he asked clearly, so he could only say: "Wait a minute, when Mr. Criminal Police asks one by one, he should know!" Besides, don't you have secrets in yourself that you haven't made clear? ”
"I can't be considered a secret anymore, when I was down the mountain, I asked Xixi to go to the police station to report to the police, didn't the criminal police who came to this mountain also to investigate the identity of the deceased in that case?"
"Maybe the deceased person is someone I knew in the past, but I don't have to." All of a sudden, the woman said this, hearing it in the man's ears, as if her family was involved in a homicide. Soon after, Yan Muheng, who was attacked by a mysterious person, fled to the inside of the study, was rescued by Tang Meiya's ancestors, and then met Xie Yunmeng, Tang Meiya and Xie Yunmeng once doubted whether Yan Muheng was lying, at this time the action in the restaurant had already begun, Xie Yunmeng had to let Yan Muheng go to the restaurant first to meet with Yun Yeyao, and then make plans later.
After all, there were nine people here at that time, and they couldn't all be accomplices of the murderer anyway, in Xie Yunmeng's thinking, Yun Yeyao would always be with them until the end of the operation, and if Yan Muheng was found to have something suspicious, others would also help control him.
But Xie Yunmeng's idea was in Yun Yeyao's arms, he expected that Yan Muheng would definitely appear in the restaurant, so he arranged for Liu Qiaopu and the rest to enter behind the wall of the entertainment room through the secret door he found, and he pretended to be unconscious alone and waited for Yan Muheng's arrival, so as to achieve the purpose of acting with Yan Muheng.
We won't discuss what Yun Yeyao used for the time being, through this matter, can we imagine that Yun Yeyao arranged to attack Yan Muheng? This may be the reason why Yan Muheng was injured but was not killed by the murderer, but would Yun Yeyao really commit the crime of intentional injury in order to solve the case? This odds are too small, so we're going to put a question mark here.
Now Xie Yunmeng just wants to collect the clues he needs as soon as possible and return to the others. He would never have thought that Mr. Actor would do such a dangerous thing without him, but taking risks sometimes may make us crack the biggest secret, and of course Yun Yeyao is also aiming for this.
Something happened to Horror, Yan Muheng and Wen Manman at the same time, and Yun Yeyao's deliberate disguise made Yan Muheng think that Yun Yeyao might be the same as them, so although he agreed to act together, his wariness of Yun Yeyao became deeper and deeper, and he no longer dared to believe him as before, or get close to him.
Time flew by minute by minute, and it was already noon on December 31, and we shifted our attention to the only study room in the treacherous house to see the actions of Xie Yunmeng and Tang Meiya's ancestors. At this moment, the white bones under the floor have been hidden by Mr. Criminal Police, he dragged the bookshelves in the back row of the study forward, then removed the books on them, vacated enough places for the white bones to be placed, put the white bones in, and then pushed the bookshelves back to their original positions.
In this way, the bones are hidden between the bookshelves and the walls, where no one can see them and cannot be easily found. As for the books that were taken out, Xie Yunmeng and Yaya stuffed them into the other bookshelves, and each layer of books on the bookshelf was not tightly placed, and there would be a little bit of space, as long as the other books were squeezed a little tighter, they could be stuffed into a book that was not very thick.
Xie Yunmeng was in charge of the bookshelves in the high places, and Yaya was in charge of the bookshelves in the low places, Tang Meiya had been helping her granddaughter sort out the books on the side, and within a few minutes, all the extra books disappeared on the bookshelf, which was also to prevent the murderer from guessing where they had put the bones based on the books on the ground.
After getting off the bookshelf, Xie Yunmeng entered the open floor and went to check if there was any danger at the lower entrance, and after making sure that the entrance was unobstructed, Xie Yunmeng led Tang Meiya's ancestor into the hidden underground staircase.
But when they walked up the winding stairs, they saw not another dark room as they had imagined, but a rock cave that Xiao Xiao had just visited, which turned out to be another entrance and exit to the rock cave.
The further down the wooden staircase extended, the more serious the decay became, because of the dampness, the place close to the rock steps was almost impossible to tread on, Xie Yunmeng could only avoid suspicion, and carried the grandfather and grandson directly to the top of the rock steps. But this move made Yaya's girlish feelings seem to be stronger, and Tang Meiya paid attention to her granddaughter from time to time and let her walk behind her.
Xie Yunmeng deliberately slowed down his pace and walked forward in order to take care of Tang Meiya's ancestors, and while recalling the appearance of the hole in the ground that Mei Xiaoxiao told him, he judged the direction of the three people. There are a lot of forks in the rocky holes, and if she hadn't identified the place she had entered in the first place, she would probably have lost her way like a sail.
"What's wrong?!" Xie Yunmeng roared sharply as he rushed towards the right turn of the fork in the road, he didn't see the imaginary murderer, or something terrifying? I only saw that in the empty rock cave, Tang Meiya's ancestors and grandchildren were slumped on the ground and hugged each other tightly, and Yaya also pointed to the rock wall with her finger, looking frightened and helpless.
Xie Yunmeng hurriedly ran in front of the two ancestors and grandchildren, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see any clues, he asked, "What did you see?" ”
"It's a black monster! …… He just ran away from there...... Also, I took the offering table!! Yaya said tremblingly.
"Offering table?!" Xie Yunmeng was simply confused, he didn't know what Yaya was talking about, there was only a smooth rock wall in front of him, there were no offering tables, no monsters, and there were not even cracks in the rocks.
Tang Meiya, who was beside Yaya, didn't say a word, she seemed to be scared stupid, and ignored Xie Yunmeng's questioning. Xie Yunmeng and Yaya really couldn't communicate together, so he thought of Yaya's grandmother.
Xie Yunmeng stepped forward to help Grandma Tang and asked, "Grandma, are you okay?" ”
“…… It's okay......" Tang Meiya's voice carried more doubts than fear. Xie Yunmeng couldn't help but wonder.
He asked, "Grandma Tang, what did you see?" ”
Tang Meiya turned her head slowly, staring at Mr. Criminal Police for a while with her two eyes before saying, "That person is too similar to the past, it's too similar, he should have died a long time ago!" ”
"Grandma Tang, who are you talking about?"
"I don't know, I really don't know! …… Except for the darkening of his skin, nothing else has changed, why is he here...... Why? Tang Meiya kept asking herself, she completely ignored Xie Yunmeng's question.
Xie Yunmeng had no choice but to let Yaya hold on to his grandmother and patiently repeat the question.
"Grandma Tang, please tell me, who are you seeing?"
"Is that the villain? It's the kidnapper and the kidnapper, my first love, but I know why he's here when I was young! ”
Yan Muheng instantly realized that he had leaked his words, but now there was no way to retract the words, so he could only swallow the end of the words back into his stomach and no longer speak.
Yun Yeyao waited for a while and then said, "Xiao Heng, the person you love used to live in this family, was once the hostess's favorite child, and was once the only bloodline of An Ze, right?" ”
"You ......" Yan Muheng wanted to ask, how do you know? But the words were choked in his throat, but he couldn't say anything, he could only stare at the person in front of him, and his silent horror had exposed all the secrets in his heart.
"You have been deceiving your sincerity by using Shu Xue and Terror as shields, don't you think it is unfair to Terror and Shu Xue?"
Yun Yeyao's questioning was exchanged for Yan Muheng's more fierce rebuttal, "What do you know? It's just wearing a mask of reasoning and talking nonsense there, just this day and two nights, can you understand the past few decades? I," Yan Muheng pointed to his chest and said, "I will protect the person I love, unlike you, I don't even dare to admit love!" ”
"But your protection led him to his death! Can this also be considered protection? Yun Yeyao still spoke softly, but every word pierced his heart.
In an instant, Yan Muheng seemed to hear the sad voice in his dream again, he staggered, almost tripped over the bricks on the ground and fell, and after leaning on the wall with one hand, he said: "Tell me, all this is not from a dream, but from your reasoning?" ”
Yun Yeyao immediately said: "From Eternal's behavior, I should have targeted him a long time ago, just before he destroyed the evidence in the food warehouse last night, but my reaction was too slow, until the murderer attacked Xiaomeng and Xiaoxiao, I didn't realize what I should be concerned about!" If it weren't for the little night adventure to go outdoors again, Xixi and the grocery store owner and his wife might have become unjust ghosts. ”
"Yes, I guessed a lot of things, but none of them had evidence. So I need your help to understand what the Eternal Heart is. Learn all the secrets of this treacherous house. I am not enemies with you, Xiao Heng, whether I guessed right or not, for the sake of the concern in the blue cell, please open your heart to me! ”
Yun Yeyao's finger suddenly pointed to the skeleton in the wall, Yan Muheng felt his heart twitch, Yun Yeyao guessed correctly, although it was not all right, but this must be inseparable from his dream, so Yan Muheng can be completely sure at this moment that Yun Yeyao also has what he imagined, and he can take this opportunity to bring back the past love.
Of course, these are unpredictable at this moment, she just doesn't want any innocent people to be harmed, her idea is very simple, as long as Ms. Wen and Shan Mingze follow her closely, she can avoid the danger of these two people being killed by the murderer, and she can also monitor Shan Mingze all the time, and Yun Yeyao can be rescued in time.
As for the clues, as long as the murderer is caught, there will be a lot of time to investigate in the end.
Listening to the footsteps of Yun Yeyao and Yan Muheng moving away, after feeling that it was about the same, Mei Xiaoxiao stood up and said to the other two people in the room: "Let's go, we can also start moving." ”
"But what about these things?" Ms. Wen asked, pointing to a pile of things on the table that were covered by a down jacket.
"It's okay, no one will come to this room for the time being, let's go upstairs first."
Shan Mingze seemed to think of something about the meaning of the little one, but he didn't plan to say it, but obediently followed the policewoman to the door of the room, and Ms. Wen had to reluctantly follow them.
Time passed minute by minute, and the bell tower had not made a sound at all since last night, probably because the blood of the corpse had penetrated deep into the machine, causing the parts to stagnate.
The longer Yanagihashi delayed, the more uneasy the nine people who remained behind the walls of the recreation room, some of whom were wearing watches, kept raising their wrists to check the time. The feeling of being suffocated and breathless in a small, crowded space can swell indefinitely, especially in the event of a horrific event and there is no way to escape, but no one wants to object to it.
After all, it's still relatively safe here, everyone can fully monitor the actions of others, and if the murderer is unfortunate enough to be here, they will also become a turtle in the urn together.
Among all of them, only Liu Qiaopu and Shan Mingze are two exceptions, and the old man has ulterior motives and is deliberately covering up his emotions. And Shan Mingze was swollen and red because of the wound on his face, and he couldn't see any expression.
Halfway through the cook's explanation, Liu Qiaopu interrupted him and waved his hand and said, "I know this, mother-in-law, you should have been a part of the treacherous house at the time of the fire, right?" Do you have any burns? ”
"I wasn't at home at the time."
The cook's words shocked everyone, because they always thought that the cook was the maid at the time of the fire. The cook continued, "I know what you suspect? At that time, there were two maids in the Spiegel House, I was only in charge of cooking, and the other maid did similar work to Xiao Wang now, and the housekeeper and I happened to go down the mountain at that time. ”
"Because I heard the weather forecast before, there is about to be a snowstorm, we take advantage of the good weather, we want to go to the mountain together to purchase, the main reason is that the hostess likes to eat mutton, and the mutton selected by Mr. Housekeeper is really bad, once brought a piece of stinky back, so I want to go down the mountain to see with him, tell him how to choose ingredients."
"How old were you, mother-in-law?" Liu Qiaopu asked unhurriedly, as if chatting, his eyes glanced at Shan Mingze intentionally or unintentionally, and Shan Mingze on the side still covered his face with his hands, and made a slight inhalation sound in his mouth, which made people feel very painful when they saw it.
The cook counted with her fingers and replied, "I can't remember clearly, I'm probably in my 30s, I'm almost 40 years old, I'm the oldest in the family, and then there's Mr. Housekeeper." ”
"What about the other maid? What's her name? Left after the fire? ”
"Now, I don't want to hide it from everyone, the other maid is the restaurant proprietor, her name is Wen Yuya, when the fire broke out, the hostess lost her mind and almost wronged him as a murderer, and afterwards in order to compensate, she paid for her to open a restaurant on the side of the mountain road to make a living."
"The hostess once instructed me and the housekeeper not to tell anyone about Wen Yuya. So for so many years, we haven't even told Xiao Wang and Terror. ”
The topic has completely deviated from the matter of Shan Mingze's wound, and it has also attracted everyone's attention, and everyone leaned forward to listen to the cook's mother-in-law continue to narrate.
Liu Qiao Pu also sat up completely straight with the help of Lian Fan, and he asked, "Do you know about Ms. Wen's two daughters?" ”
This time, Tao Muqing was also scared, she left Wen Manman's side, and asked tremblingly, "Manman, what's wrong with you?" ”
Vinmanman himself couldn't figure out what was going on. She opened her mouth and tried to speak, but her voice was stuck in her throat and she couldn't get out.
Yanagihashi Pu couldn't stand up yet, and he looked at Wen Manman with the same eyes as everyone else as he could, so that she wouldn't notice anything. At the same time, Liu Qiao Pu is also judging how much Wen Manman knows about what Yun Yeyao guessed.
Gradually, Wen Manman's voice in the old man's eyes changed, but her expression also changed, she calmed down from the shock, sat there alone, and began to ponder. After a while, her eyes looked at Liu Qiaopu, not an empty and meaningless look, but a look that she wanted to say but couldn't say.
——
Here Wen Manman changed inexplicably, clearly making everyone suspicious of her. Over there, Xie Yunmeng was also in the strange incident created by Yu Ze.
Tang Meiya disappeared inexplicably in the wall prosthesis, and when Xie Yunmeng and Yaya were desperately looking for it, she suddenly appeared behind them again, and the startled development process almost scared Yaya out of a heart attack.
So where is Tang Meiya? It turned out that after the wall prosthesis fell, Tang Meiya did not press under it at all, but was eaten by the air cushion.
How to say it, Tang Meiya herself is short and thin. After the air cushion 'rock' is inflated, it will produce the same bumpy places as real rocks, and the places where the grooves are easy for people to sink into, and Tang Meiya is stuck in it.
Xie Yunmeng was eager to save people, and he pulled too hard, tearing the rock prosthesis, once the air leaked, the folds would be more, and Tang Meiya was wrapped in it, almost suffocating. Fortunately, when Xie Yunmeng and Yaya were investigating the secret door, Tang Meiya struggled to climb out by herself.
Now, she was sitting on the wet ground desperately panting, and the old lady had experienced a dangerous accident that narrowly escaped death.
Before she could catch her breath, Tang Meiya complained: "Officer Xie, you were so anxious that you almost stepped on me just now." ”
"I'm so sorry, I didn't expect this thing to be so troublesome." Xie Yunmeng apologized, and Yaya helped the old lady up and asked, "Are you okay?" Did it hurt anywhere? ”
She couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xiaomeng, what are you doing?" ”
"I'm going to block this place, Yaya, you and grandma wait a little, and it'll be fine right away." Xie Yunmeng's answer was a little difficult, and his face was already red, proving that the things inside were indeed hard and not so easy to destroy.
At this time, Tang Meiya suddenly shouted: "Xiao Meng, don't push anymore!" Her voice was full of anxiety, and Xie Yunmeng couldn't help but stop what she was doing and looked back at Tang Meiya.
Tang Meiya also shouted unintentionally, now seeing Yaya and Xie Yunmeng's surprised eyes, she didn't know what to say, looking at the old lady's spitting appearance, Xie Yunmeng actually knew in her heart that she must still have a secret and didn't say it, but she was worried about Yaya and hesitated in her heart.
Xie Yunmeng temporarily put down the work in his hand, walked back to Tang Meiya and asked, "Grandma Tang, do you have any ideas?" ”
"I ...... I was just...... I don't want the people inside to suffocate to death. If you block the entrance and exit, if there are no other air outlets, you will probably suffocate to death. Tang Meiya barely found a reason to speak.
Xie Yunmeng said: "Grandma Tang, the person who escaped in has not heard for so long, which means that the inside is definitely not as narrow as we imagined, maybe there are several holes connected together, and it is not impossible to have other entrances and exits, I think if I can force him into the main house, it will be much easier to catch him." ”
"But there are so many people in the main house, if Yu Ze is in a hurry, he can do anything, I know this person." Tang Meiya said.
"Grandma Tang, can you really be sure that the person hiding inside is Yu Ze?"
"I don't know, but looking at his face, I have to believe that this person is Yu Ze, because it's too similar."
"When you left Yu Ze, he should have been very young, right?"
"He was only in his 20s at the time, and he should be about the same age as Mr. Butler now."
"Grandma Tang, if you don't mind, I have a question I want to ask." Xie Yunmeng slowly changed the topic.
Tang Meiya struggled to control her emotions and asked, "What is it?" ”
"Do you think Mr. Butler looks like Yu Ze back then?"
Asking the old lady to confirm the body is indeed a difficult job, and with Yaya by her side, it is not too much to refuse, Tang Meiya glanced at her granddaughter and asked, "Are you afraid?" Yaya. ”
"One thing, but I'm willing to cooperate with Brother Meng's actions." Yaya replied immediately, her little blushing.
Although Tang Meiya hesitated in her heart, she nodded lightly when she heard her granddaughter say this, after all, even her granddaughter was not afraid, how could she hide the truth of the past anymore? What's more, she also has a lot of things to confirm in her heart.
"Okay, since Yu Ze may still be alive, I will definitely cooperate with you to catch him, but if the body is Yu Ze, doesn't that mean that he is still dead?"
"After you confirm this, Xiao Yao will explain the reason, there are still many problems that have not been solved, and the past involved is not a star and a half, I believe that our actions will be faster, the murderer will always show his fox tail, and it is a breakthrough for you to see people similar to Yu Ze, the wall has been blocked, as for how to get into it, there will definitely be a way afterwards."
"Grandma Tang, you're right, I shouldn't have blocked the entrance and exit so tightly, the people inside might suffocate, now it's actually about the same, let's get out of here first, go to the other side of the rock, Yaya, you follow Grandma, wait a minute, when you get to the basement of the ruins, I'll go with your grandma to confirm the body, you also need to help do a small thing, can you?"
"Well, I'll do my best." Yaya readily assured that Tang Meiya could only show a helpless face, Yaya let her see her past self, so simple, like a blank piece of paper, with no resistance to love.
Let Tang Meiya's ancestor and grandson go first, Xie Yunmeng secretly glanced back at the wall where Yu Ze was hiding, there was still no movement there, as if Yu Ze had evaporated in an instant. Xie Yunmeng smiled lightly, he really didn't expect what happened here, but at this moment, he had a certain inference about the people inside, and after entering there, he would definitely get more clues.
'Yu Ze's true face and mechanism, let Xiao Yao explain it to Grandma Tang, I have to rush back as soon as possible." Thinking about it, Xie Yunmeng quickened his pace to keep up with Tang Meiya's ancestor. As the footsteps in the rocky cavern faded away, the filler, which had not yet moved, suddenly flicked outward, as if someone had hit it inside.
Yan Muheng was quietly observing Yun Yeyao, and Mei Xiaoxiao behind him was also observing him. This person is showing more and more flaws now, and he is completely different from when he was down the mountain.
Mei Xiaoxiao glanced at her watch, it was already past lunch time, and the position they were in now was only a wall away from the two people in front of them, but Mei Xiaoxiao could ensure that Yan Muheng and Yun Yeyao would not find them. This is also due to the fact that the tower's corridors rotate upwards in a circle, separated by half an arc, and the walls can protect the tracker well.
Mei Xiaoxiao leaned against the wall, and she asked Shan Mingze behind her: "When you first met him, did you know that he was a member of the treacherous house?" ”
Shan Mingze's answer was very simple, he said: "I don't know, we are just ordinary friends." ”
"What if that person really wasn't killed by you? Why did you run away from the police and go up the mountain with Sissy. You know the police are suspicious of Sissy. Mei Xiaoxiao continued.
"I'm here to save Sissy, because I love her, but she's obsessed."
"Who is Sissy in love with?"
"That's what I want to figure out. And what exactly are we doing now? Do you want to follow these two people all the time? ”
Mei Xiaoxiao glanced back at Shan Mingze, did not answer the question he asked, but continued to ask: "Do you think it is possible that it is Xiao Heng?" ”
“…… You mean Yan Muheng! I think it's unlikely, doesn't Yan Muheng have a girlfriend in this family? ”
"But when I was outdoors just now, I saw that Cissy trusted him very much. Isn't it because the two of them met in advance at the bottom of the mountain? ”
"Impossible, maybe Xixi has always regarded him as Officer Xie, Officer Xie and Yan Muheng used the same disguise. Sissy, I understand, she is very simple, and if she believes that she can protect herself, she will give trust without scruples. ”
"It's not so much simple, you might as well be a little selfish, you really pay for her, and the result is not as good as a stranger." The small words pierced his heart, and Shan Mingze stopped talking.
The information revealed in their conversation made Wen Yuya feel stunned, especially the sentence 'is a member of the treacherous house', Wen Yuya couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that Yan Muheng is Yu Heng?" ”
Could it be that they all bleed the blood of murderers? Or is it that the old owner of the treacherous house, Anze, is a madman himself, and he has left this madman trait to all his descendants. It doesn't make sense! An Ze has only one only daughter, who should be older than Sister Wang, not to mention that according to the previous investigation, An Ze's daughter has never been married for life, where are the children?
Mei Xiaoxiao didn't have time to answer Shan Mingze's question, she had been staring at Yun Yeyao's movements with all her attention, Yun Yeyao would tear those blue wallpapers in front of Yan Muheng, it was absolutely impossible to do this just because she suspected that there was something else hidden behind the wallpaper, he Xie Yunmeng often mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally, so Xiao Xiaoxiao knew him very well, gentle on the surface, but actually very shrewd in his heart.
The policewoman often thinks that if Yun Yeyao is a person who is cautious or has flaws, then it is an unlucky thing to be his friend or his enemy, but fortunately Yun Yeyao is not such a person. Xie Yunmeng said that Xiao Yao is a generous and kind person, and Xiao Xiao chooses to believe this.
But at this moment, in the face of Yan Muheng, a person who can't be qualified as good or bad, Xiao Yao is probably calculating, right?! Thinking about it, his footsteps slowly retreated, and he was still pulling the corner of Shan Mingze's clothes in his hand, pulling him back with him.
Mei Xiaoxiao didn't answer Shan Mingze's question directly just now, which already made him very confused, but now that he was pulled by the policewoman, Shan Mingze's eyes turned around and became even more suspicious. However, Shan Mingze is not unable to understand such an attitude, the criminal police asked him to participate in the operation, it is likely that he had to do it as a last resort, and it is reasonable to have reservations about himself.
So he didn't make any rebuttals, but obediently followed Mei Xiaoxiao and stepped back, but Wen Yuya was not calm, she whispered to the policewoman: "Xiaoxiao, are we leaving?" ”
"Aunt Wen, he's here."
Xie Yunmeng said: "I'm sorry, Yaya, there are too many forks in the road in this place, but we are almost in the basement, and there are small markers left here. ”
Yaya bit her lip when she heard the little name, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Xiaomeng, do you love Miss Xiao?" ”
Her words made Xie Yunmeng stunned, and he even stopped walking. Tang Meiya hurriedly covered her little granddaughter's mouth and said, "Don't ask, children!" ”
"I'm not a child, I always feel that Brother Xiaomeng just respects Miss Xiao, I can't see infatuation in his eyes, really. Brother Meng, do you remember when we went to the Brown Tower yesterday morning? ”
Yaya actually didn't have anything to say, but the topic she mentioned was too inappropriate, but her words successfully attracted Xie Yunmeng's attention, Xie Yunmeng asked, "What happened yesterday?" ”
"You didn't give Miss a good morning kiss when you left the brown tower, didn't you play husband and wife at the time? Why are there no good morning kisses? It's not embarrassing to be in front of everyone, right? Yaya asked in one breath, waiting for Xie Yunmeng's answer with a pair of expectant eyes, while Tang Meiya on the side could only hold her forehead and sigh, complaining that her granddaughter was too outspoken.
Xie Yunmeng replied: "But we are not husband and wife!" And it never occurred to me to have any good morning kisses. ”
Yaya was obviously dissatisfied with Xie Yunmeng's answer, she pouted and said, "Miss Xiao is your girlfriend, you live in her room, and you are still stingy with a good morning kiss?" But I think maybe you're not stingy, but you don't love Miss Xiao. ”
Yaya's words hit the nail on the head, and Xie Yunmeng instantly didn't know how to answer. He has never been a man of twisting and pinching, and he can say whatever he wants. But now, he felt like an empty box in his heart, and he didn't have the words to answer.
Eyes up, we tried to see the woman's face, but the hair obscured our vision, and we could only hear her nervous gasps, and see the lips that were slightly open and exhaling hot breath, the thin lips were almost as white as her skin.
The woman was afraid, and every step she took was so hurried and slow. Different contradictory words to describe people's moods are sometimes really appropriate. The woman's heart is urgent, but the pace is slow, not that she is unwilling to go fast, but that the terrifying atmosphere around her makes it impossible for her to go fast.
The more scared and nervous one is, the more cautious one may become. Finally, the woman finally walked to the corner, and just as she wanted to squat down, the door was suddenly opened.
The woman was so frightened that she collapsed directly on the ground, she felt a splitting headache, her hands were holding her temples, her bloodshot eyes were wide, but her mouth did not make a sound at all, as if she had been frightened by the people outside......
——
"Aunt Wen?!"
It took a while for Mei Xiaoxiao to find that Wen Yuya behind her was gone, and she and Shan Mingze hurriedly turned back to look for it. They hadn't forgotten to control their footsteps, in case Yan Muheng found out about their presence.
When he returned downstairs, Mei Xiaoxiao found that the door of the room he had just come out of was open, and there was a woman's gasp inside.
"It must be Aunt Wen!" The policewoman didn't want to rush into the room, if something happened to Wen Yuya because of her negligence, Mei Xiaoxiao would definitely not forgive herself.
Yun Yeyao and Yan Muheng are still at the top of the secret passage of the blue tower, the tower is very high, as long as they don't shout, the people above won't notice. After entering the room, sure enough, Wen Yuya was inside, and at this moment she was exactly the same as when she was crazy before, frightened, flustered, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
I don't understand why this is happening all of a sudden. She walked quickly to Wen Yuya, squatted down and hugged her and asked, "Aunt Wen, what's wrong with you?" ”
"In the big bell! Terrible corpse parts...... Someone threw a piece of corpse into it...... It's in the big clock!! Wen Yuya's words were intermittent, as if in an instant, she had returned to the time when she had just been rescued from the bell yesterday afternoon.
A bookcase as big as a door, with a very ordinary style, and the front is just like the bookcases we often see in libraries, just much smaller.
There weren't a few books on it, most of the places were empty, Yun Yeyao didn't pay attention to those empty grids, he just kept flipping through the books. In the book, Anze tells all his real feelings about dreams in detail. made Yun Yeyao feel that he had been worried about it all his life, so much so that he trapped his daughter in a dream.
Mr. Actor looked at the words in front of him, but the contents of the mutilated diary found by Xie Yunmeng appeared in the gray brain cells. If the diary and the book were written by Yasuzawa himself, then the amount of information that can be obtained from them is not a little.
While being silent and contrasting, Yun Yeyao did not ignore Yan Muheng on the side, why did he suddenly think of the hidden bookcase? Is he Yu Heng, the son of the cook, or someone who has a relationship with An Ze? Maybe it's both, because before An Ze died, the cook was not very old, and she had lived in a treacherous house all her life, without a husband, but she had a son, which made people have to be suspicious.
The cook's question can be understood later, at this moment, Yun Yeyao clearly felt that Yan Muheng's mood was not very stable, and this instability could cause Yan Muheng's thinking and behavior to change anytime and anywhere, Yun Yeyao had already learned and tried it, so he had to be vigilant at all times.
At this moment, putting aside his behavior, Yan Muheng's state of mind is indeed changing uncontrollably, he stays in the position of the intersection of dreams and reality, and even the familiar gaze revealed in his eyes has also affected another person who has a deep relationship with him, this person is Wen Yuya, who is trembling in Xiaoxiao's arms. The resonance between them caused both parties to fall into a state of inextrication.
The air in the blue tower seemed to condense, and Yan Muheng seemed to disappear out of thin air, silently. Yun Yeyao couldn't hear a sound in his ears, he narrowed his eyes, hiding the uneasiness that gradually surged up in his heart, trying to immerse himself in thinking, ignoring the oppression brought by Yan Muheng.
Silence often makes people have new ideas, and uneasiness prevents brain cells from concentrating on the corners where they can draw correct reasoning, Yun Yeyao struggled to adjust his state, ignoring Yan Muheng's big hand on his shoulder little by little.
But there are obviously a lot of things that don't make sense, for example, we mentioned earlier about a girl's confession (see the beginning of chapter 58), in which someone wants to let the horror completely replace her, but instead of holding grievances for herself, she thinks with a kind of pity that the horror lives in the fog.
Regardless of whether this girl is Shu Xue herself or not, these thoughts of hers are definitely not the thoughts that a person full of resentment and grievances should have. And a girl who has been robbed of her property, taken away her identity, and has to become a money-making tool, it is impossible to be so generous.
In addition, the mental activities of Eternal and Yan Muheng have been mentioned many times in the plot, which can explain some problems. Also, Shu Xue took the initiative to find Yan Muheng and met Xie Yunmeng with him, if it was really Shu Xue herself at that time, then it can only show one thing that Shu Xue is not as free as we imagined.
Accordingly, Is Shu Xue really imprisoned? Is she Anze's daughter? Or Wen Yuya's daughter? Now the statement is a little confusing, in layman's terms, it means that the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable. In particular, the avoidance of the parties made Yun Yeyao can only make guesses, but cannot get strong evidence to support the truth.
Then there is the second hypothesis, that there is no mistress in the treacherous house, and that everything is decided by the butler, which seems to be completely different from the first, but in fact the result of the hypothesis is much the same. That is, exploiting, hiding, plundering, and deceiving revolve around all events.
If the little girl was already dead, regardless of whether she died of natural causes or homicide, if the people in this family wanted to get An Ze's wealth, of course they could let someone pretend to be her, or they didn't have to pretend at all, as long as they declared their existence to the outside world, would anyone still forcibly enter the house to check? In this regard, the fact that the hostess of the treacherous house stays at home all year round is a proof of this.
But if deception is not perfect, if you want to be smooth and safe, it can basically only be achieved in imagination. The murder in the treacherous house has developed until now, and the hostess has indeed not appeared, and the family members in the house have indeed deliberately concealed the key information of the hostess as we have seen.
But they had something to hide, and they admitted it in unison. That is the age of the hostess, and it is impossible for the deceiver not to hide the truth that is most capable of revealing himself. So the second hypothesis seems to be very unlikely to be true.
Everything that should have gone has gone, my daughter has graduated from primary school, and her homework has improved. Recently, I found that my mind is often dizzy, and I really have no time to take care of it. My work is getting more and more idle, I don't know if it's a good thing! ’
When you read these words, do you feel that there is something discordant? Maybe you are like Yun Yeyao, you can see at a glance that some of these sentences lack the subject, and some lack the reason.
To be clear, the above sentences are written on the same page, one after the other. To be sure, there is nothing else interspersed in these words, so it can only be said that Anze deliberately ignored the subject and reason.
Everything that should have gone has gone, my daughter has graduated from primary school, and her homework has improved. ’
In this sentence, it is not stated who is the person who should go? If Anze is talking about his wife, then from the language organization, we can see that Anze is not reluctant to give up his wife, he said that everything that should be left has already left, which is a manifestation of no nostalgia. If Anze wasn't talking about his wife, it would be hard to guess.
In the book in the hands of Mr. Actor, An Ze also mentioned that his wife left him when his daughter was very young and has never been in touch since.
Also, the saying 'all gone' is reminiscent of whether there were many people who left Anze's side at that time, perhaps Anze only had his daughter with him later, and never went to school to teach after the age of forty, because he had betrayed his relatives.
It was a very painful thing to have no friends, no wealth, and most of his loved ones, which is why Anze desperately wanted to use the dream to turn over (this was also expressed in his diary later). Dreams are nothing, and An Ze can use it to get wealth, which can be said to be very lucky, regardless of whether An Ze's dream has the ability to predict or not, it can only be said that this is An Ze's fate should not be extinguished.
Let's look at the second sentence, 'Recently, I have found that my mind is often dizzy, and I really have no time to take care of it. This sentence sounds strange, who finds out who is drowsy? Who has no time to take care of it? Sentences simply have an end and no head.
According to the analysis of the tone, you can hear a trace of helplessness, maybe An Ze's daughter is sick, and he has no time to take care of him because he is busy with some things. But immediately after the third sentence, the stalk that Anze was very busy was overturned.
At this moment, the situation in the basement has changed a lot, Liu Qiaopu opened all the entrances and exits at both ends of it, and opened a lot of holes in the broken and rotten walls around it, and the sediment inside had absorbed enough water, but now it was blown by the cold air, and the back of the wooden planks was basically frozen, so the temperature in the room suddenly became very cold, and even Mr. Criminal Police shivered when he entered.
Xie Yunmeng turned around and reminded Tang Meiya that the down jacket on her body was wrapped tightly, it was very cold outside. Yaya stayed in the cave in the rock for the time being, but instead of standing in an open place like this, Xie Yunmeng carried her body to a protruding rock, which was on top of their heads, if Yaya stayed on it, as long as the people below didn't look up, they wouldn't notice her at all.
This was also what he told Xie Yunmeng after a small observation, and he asked Yaya to stay on it for safety reasons, and secondly, to observe the situation in the cave in the rocky ground, in case someone was moving here when they weren't paying attention. Xie Yunmeng took care of Yaya, and when he saw people, he should try to hide himself as much as possible, and he didn't need to remind them, just tell them everything he saw afterwards.
Yaya nodded and agreed, the little girl accepted the task with a very serious attitude, as if she was already a policewoman, Xie Yunmeng liked Yaya's character very much, so she couldn't help but praise her, which made Yaya even more proud.
Xie Yunmeng entered the basement first and observed the situation, due to the simple transformation of Liuqiao Pu, the surface of the cook's corpse really did not change much, and the blood stains and corpses on the ground had been frozen in the cold wind, delaying the time of decay.
But even so, when Tang Meiya saw the corpse for the first time, she was so frightened that her heart was pounding, and she didn't dare to get close to it.
Xie Yunmeng squatted beside the corpse and asked, "Grandma Tang, can you tell if he is Mr. Housekeeper?" ”
"I..." Tang Meiya controlled her fear, and carefully observed the face of the corpse, at first glance, the face was blue-gray and bloodstained, which really made people unbearable to look at directly, but after ignoring these, Tang Meiya found that it did look like Mr. Butler.
So, Tang Meiya unconsciously leaned closer and leaned down her upper body, this time her eyebrows and eyes were clearer, "The outline of his eyes and nose...... It seems to ......"
But the entrance and exit suddenly opened, and the shadow saw two women, one of whom seemed to be familiar, which reminded the shadow of an incident he had done with the young woman many years ago, something they had hidden so far that they had not dared to talk about.
If she really was the one she used to be, why didn't she recognize me?' In the dark shadow's fuzzy brain, he had been thinking about this question, he couldn't believe that the person he had protected for so many years would not care about his life and death, so the only possibility was that she didn't recognize who he was.
The wheezing sound became weaker and weaker, not all because of physical reasons, but because the heart was gradually losing hope, just a moment ago, the small table that was bounced back by the mechanism hit him, it is estimated that his ribs may have been injured, the black shadow felt that it was difficult to move, and there were bursts of sharp pain from the place where he was hit.
'Who is that man?' Why did he block his life passage? ’
The black shadow used his only movable right foot to kick the wood that suddenly broke just now, but his little strength could not do anything, and after several attempts, the black shadow finally gave up, and he simply paralyzed his whole body, waiting for death to come, there was not much food left here, and the water in the crevices of the rocks could not save his life.
Black Shadow thought that he would always be poor in his life anyway, and it would be better to live in debt than to die. Hope is completely lost in a person's heart, no one sees his pain, and at this moment, a woman not far away is also suffering because of this pain.
Tang Meiya followed Xie Yunmeng back to the front of the rock crevice just now, she unconsciously looked towards the other side of the gap, and Yaya next to her was following Xie Yunmeng to carefully observe the ground.
There were no traces of other people found in the entire rock cave, Xie Yunmeng searched carefully on the way back, and even the footprints of the three of them on the ground seemed very blurry. After approaching the ground, the detective found that the water here was alive, and the water clinging to the ground kept flowing and washing, which is why the surface of the rock was so smooth and difficult to leave footprints.
"That way, we have less evidence to collect." Xie Yunmeng stood up straight and said, he crossed his hands on his hips, looked around, and found that Tang Meiya was paying attention to other places.
He asked, "Grandma Tang, what are you looking at?" ”
I don't know how long it took, a ray of light was projected into the dark place, Yu Cha was so stimulated that he couldn't open his eyes, he raised his hand to block the source of the light, and heard the unpleasant friction of the air cushion and the wall by his ears.
Xie Yunmeng took out all the things stuffed into the entrance and exit little by little, and the air in these things had leaked, so it was spread on the ground at the moment, like a thick rubber mat, because of the tightening of the material, the color also looked much darker than the surrounding color.
The next thing is to find a way to get out the offering table that is blocked inside, the two legs and a horizontal bar of the offering table have been broken, and after the air cushion is pulled out, the bricks and tiles on the walls on both sides have also been brought down a lot, and many cracks and chips have appeared in an instant.
Why did Xie Yunmeng have to stuff all the thick air cushions into the narrow entrance and exit before, just to destroy the surrounding walls, as soon as there are many cracks in the wall, the air will naturally pour into the room, of course, it is best to have a vent in the back.
After clearing the gap in the wall, Xie Yunmeng shouted inside, "Yu Cha, are you inside?" If you are there, you will respond. ”
"Hmm... At. Yu Cha's voice was very weak and hoarse, and he reluctantly answered, but as soon as the voice overflowed from his throat, it was immediately blocked back by the pain caused by the sudden movement.
"Wait a minute, I'll find a way to get you out now, is there an entrance and exit behind you?" Xie Yunmeng asked.
"I didn't ...... No, it's ...... It's all rocky......"
After receiving the response, Xie Yunmeng retracted his head and said to Tang Meiya: "Grandma Tang, we must find the mechanism on the periphery, otherwise it will be difficult to get out of the offering table inside, mainly because the desktop is stuck in the crack of the rock." ”
"But it's all around with smooth rocks, where did you get the mechanism?" Tang Meiya asked a little anxiously, and then she bypassed Xie Yunmeng, got into the entrance on the brick wall, and said inside: "Less, I'm Yaya, I'm sorry!" I'm really sorry I didn't save you in time just now! Less, I shouldn't have done that, what do you think now? I didn't get hurt! ”
What is the relationship between Yu Ze, Yu Cha, the less than in the treacherous house, the less than the criminal, and the owner of the treacherous house, An Ze, and the hostess and the cook? For the time being, this is a complex issue that can only be slowly understood from the confessions of the parties.
But the clues that we want to talk about that are close to the answer have little to do with this, since Yu Qia is the only person who knows Tang Meiya's past, then the person who brought him here must want to use Tang Meiya's past to cover up for himself, so it is inevitable that Yu Qia will be discovered.
The small piece of paper stuck in the gap between the offering table was not a lost object, but someone deliberately caught it there to attract the attention of the seeer, this person should be the person who secretly moved in the cave in the rock when Mr. Cook was killed, he took the original thing on the offering table, and clamped the small piece of paper in a key position. (What else was left behind by that man?) He didn't find it himself, but he wasn't in a hurry, so we'll talk about something like that later)
It is impossible for anyone to know who will enter the cave in the rock after him, but no matter who enters, as long as they find Yu Qia, they will definitely find a way to bring him to the front of the criminal police, and Yu Qia's confession can push Tang Meiya, who has been obscure, to the cusp.
Whether the past killings were intentional or unintentional, the police will definitely investigate them in-depth when they know about them, and then what? If the relationship between Tang Meiya and Yu Ze and Yu Cha is all transparent, of course, it will be linked to the child trafficking gang, because Yu Ze was not a member of them in the past?
This basin of dirty water is splashed just right, which is not completely dirty, and the person concerned cannot be called innocent, but also can attract the attention of the police to the greatest extent and hide the characters who should be noticed. Therefore, under this clue, we can be sure that the person who took Yu Qia into the underground of the treacherous house, imprisoned here, and deliberately tried to let the criminal police find out must be the murderer.
Only a murderer would think of using a murderer to cover up his crimes. This is like a person who has done something wrong, if he wants to find a shield, of course he will find cannon fodder who has made the same mistake as himself, if the mistake made by cannon fodder is too inconspicuous, it will not play the role of a shield. However, this cannon fodder can't be too closely related to himself.
Xie Yunmeng's rescue fell into a bottleneck, but fortunately, Yu Qia's life was not in danger, and they could be allowed to think of a way slowly. On the other side, Liu Qiaopu and the injured Shan Mingze led nine people to start acting.
