At noon the second day of the Lavender House killings

On the night of the murder, Mi Xiaodong took his assistant to the studio left by Luo Lingling to have a look, meet the painter who lived there, and it would be best to learn about Luo Lingling and Wu Weiyun's past.

However, some unexpected circumstances made him delay the investigation of the apartment until noon the next day, because after a forensic autopsy, it was found that the body in the trash can and the body in the express package were not the same person at all.

The body in the package was identified as a woman named Bai Yun. She died of poisoning, and the medical examiner determined that Bai Yun was poisoned by neurotoxoids, possibly snake venom. The half-body in the trash can showed no signs of poisoning at all, and the incisions on the two bodies could not be matched in many places. That is to say, Mi Xiaodong and they are going to investigate two homicides, not one.

After the autopsy results came out, the direction of the investigation could not only focus on the interpersonal relationships around Wu Weiyun. The first thing to do is to confirm the identity of the half-body in the trash can, who is she? Where to stay? We all need to know as soon as possible.

Based on the DNA information extracted by the forensic doctor, the police called up all the databases for comparison overnight, and it was not until the next morning that the name of the body was determined to be Liu Yun.

In this way, it is difficult to figure out the direction of the development of the entire lavender villa murder incident, of course Mi Xiaodong does not know the two women Bai Yun and Liu Yun, but we know that Liu Yun is one of the dead in the suburban warehouse. And Bai Yun is inside the lavender villa at the moment, active as Xu Qing's girlfriend.

Mi Xiaodong's investigation made Bai Yun's identity confusing. Since the part of the corpse pieced together with Liu Yun's corpse is determined to be Bai Yun, who is Bai Yun in the lavender villa? Could it be another woman who looks similar? Or is it a murderer who really wants to kill everyone, an identity used to disguise?

For the time being, we have no way to come up with an answer, so we have to focus on Mi Xiaodong's actions first.

At noon the next day after the courier package murder, Mi Xiaodong finished a meeting in the police station and immediately went to the studio left by Luo Lingling with his assistant. The homicide investigation has not yet opened a gap, and they must not ignore any possible leads.

Less than an hour after leaving the Pinglong Public Security Bureau, the police car arrived at a neighborhood lined with buildings, where the space between each apartment building was very narrow, with almost no green belt in between, only a few long strips of dirt overgrown with weeds.

Even police cars can't get in at the entrance of the community, but not because the exit is just as narrow, but because there are so many cars parked outside that the passage is almost crowded.

In order to save time, Mi Xiaodong and his family simply parked their cars in the underground parking garage opposite another community, and then walked here.

After entering the community, the target apartment building is very easy to find, located at the back of the express site, the corridor is cement watered, it looks very humid in the season at the moment, half of the stairs on the first floor are connected to the basement, that is, half of the floor is underground, half of the ground floor. The so-called first floor became the first floor.

It was lunchtime, and the residents were either not at home or eating in their houses, and the hallways were empty. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was disturbing, Mi Xiaodong took three steps and two steps up to the second floor, and after finding the last door, he immediately raised his hand and knocked.

Originally, he thought that the painter would definitely work from home at this point in time, so he was confident that someone would open the door soon.

Unexpectedly, he knocked for several minutes in a row, but there was no sound in the door. After confirming that no one was there, Mi Xiaodong turned his head and knocked on the door of an apartment next door, wanting to know the situation. There was only one little girl living in the family next door, and when Mi Xiaodong, who was wearing a police uniform, asked her about the whereabouts of the painter, the little girl looked incredulous.

She said: "Mr. Painter has not been back for several months, I heard that he was involved in a murder in a warehouse, and the police had already come to investigate last night, and they did not find him, and finally invited the locksmith to open the door and enter, so now the door is not locked at all, can you just go in?" ”

The little girl's words instantly reminded Mi Xiaodong of the murder in the warehouse that Xie Yunmeng was investigating, although he didn't know the name of the person who died in the warehouse, there was indeed a female corpse among them. So Mi Xiaodong immediately thanked the little girl and walked to the other end to make a call.

The little girl behind him looked confused, not knowing what Mr. Criminal Police meant, and after being stunned for a while, she closed the door and returned to the house.

When Mi Xiaodong was dialing the phone number, the assistant who came with him asked him, "Are you calling Officer Xie?" ”

"Yes, I guess the case here is going to coincide with the case on his side, I have to confirm with him first!" Mi Xiaodong said, he couldn't wait to hold up the mobile phone earpiece to his ear, and the assistant also put his head on the side of the earpiece to listen.

There was a beeping sound from the phone receiver, no one answered for a long time, Mi Xiaodong's eyes began to darken, he hung up the phone and dialed out again, but the result was still the same, no one answered until the voice prompt. Xiaodong didn't give up, continued to hang up and dial again, and made five or six calls in one go. But Xie Yunmeng's side was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no reaction.

"It's impossible, no matter how busy Officer Xie is, he won't miss the phone, right?" The assistant also made the second monk confused and asked strangely.

Since Xie Yunmeng can't be found, he can only ask Yun Yeyao about the situation, but the call with Yun Yeyao can't let the assistant stay by his side, so Mi Xiaodong said to the assistant: "You go to the apartment to investigate first, and I'll come in later." ”

"Okay."

The assistant had no way to ask more, so he could only walk to the door behind them with a full stomach of questions, and did not forget to glance at the mobile phone in Mi Xiaodong's hand before entering.

When the assistant left, Mi Xiaodong immediately dialed Yun Yeyao's phone, he knew that if there was something to Mr. Criminal Police, the person who knew best must be Mr. Actor. In the Pinglong Public Security Bureau, except for Mei Xiaoxiao, who has left, only Mi Xiaodong knows the actual relationship between the two of them.

"Hey, Xiao Yao, do you know where the head is?" Because he was in a hurry, as soon as the phone was connected, without waiting for Yun Yeyao to speak, Mi Xiaodong asked at a glance.

"Xiaodong, how did you think of asking Xiaomeng? Is there a case going on at the police station over there? ”

Yun Yeyao has always been keen, and Mi Xiaodong didn't hide it from him: "There was indeed a homicide, and it was related to the case that I investigated, but I couldn't reach the head after making many phone calls, do you know where he is?" ”

"Xiaodong, don't worry, Xiao Meng's place now is very special, and even I can't get in touch, but I promise that Xiao Meng will not be in danger for the time being. Now I, Xiao Meng, and Xiao Zuo are all involved in the homicide investigation here, so let's talk about the specific situation of the homicide case over there. ”
