Chapter 8 Three Men in One Play
"How did you get behind me?"
When this sentence was asked, Mrs. Lucifer realized that she had asked too much, and she should not have reacted so violently.
So, Mrs. Lucifer immediately changed into a polite smile, walked a few steps closer, and said to the two men in front of her, who were quite similar: "Look at me, I have been shocked by your pranks, what a wonderful and scary trick, come, how about we go to the villa for a drink and tell me the answer slowly?" ”
"And," continued Mrs. Lucifer, speaking into the shadow of the hut, "friends who have not shown up, please come with us!" ”
Mrs. Lucifer had a pair of eyes like crescents, the corners of the eyes were slightly downward, but the eyelashes were thick and the eyes were dark and bright. So it looks like the eyes are still quite large, and there is a hazy feeling of confusion.
As she spoke, her lips pursed slightly with her red lipstick, like a girl's gesture. There is a bit of cuteness in the beauty.
Mrs. Lucifer's face is not very good-looking, but it is better than the delicate facial features, which also highlights the unique charm.
With her feet in flat shoes slightly sideways, Mrs. Lucifer made a gesture of please.
So, who is the person who is about to be a guest at Lucifer's villa in front of her?
You've all guessed it! Then I'll get straight to the point.
First of all, the man crouching at the door of the hut and pretending to be scary is the teenager we have a prominent role in the previous murders? (Oh no) Young Detective - Yun Ye Yao.
He is a native of W City, and is currently a very famous film and television actor, and has just become the tourism image spokesperson of W City.
The man standing next to him in a suit and leather shoes with a cold look is Mo Haiyou, the youngest forensic doctor and criminal policeman in the S City Police Bureau, and he is also the twin brother Xiao Zuo that Yun Yeyao always thinks, but Mo Haiyou doesn't remember that he has a younger brother, and he has never admitted it.
And the man who just came out of the shadow of the house, the tallest and the most physically fit, wearing a white casual sportswear and a pair of beige striped sneakers on a white background, is Xie Yunmeng, the captain of the criminal investigation team of the Pinglong Public Security Bureau on the outskirts of S City.
Judging from the several cases they had solved before, although Xie Yunmeng did not have the sharp mind and analytical ability of the other two, this person was very good in adaptability and action, and he had also received special combat training, and was the pioneer of the three responsible for arranging operations and arrests.
The three men are all more than 1.8 meters tall, and Xie Yunmeng is about 1.85 meters tall.
If you don't count the cat-like camouflage residue on Yun Yeyao's face at this moment, the three men stand together, properly like three male models.
Yun Yeyao, like Mo Haiyou, wore a dark gray suit. The difference is that Mo Haiyou has a neat and rigorous, not arrogant and impatient temperament; And Yun Yeyao's temperament is between lazy and sharp, seven points handsome, three points evil, and he looks much younger than his actual age.
The invitation did not have the desired effect, Xie Yunmeng paced slowly to Yun Yeyao and Mo Haiyou, and the three men stood side by side.
The wax film on Yun Yeyao's face at this moment had been almost peeled off by himself, and he rubbed his cheeks with his hands as he spoke:
"You're slim, you don't have to wear such loose clothes. Moreover, heavy makeup can't hide anything. He," Yun Yeyao pointed to the disabled bearded Jia, and continued, "I will think that your clothes are strange, but there is no doubt on your face. ”
With his hand down and in his pants pocket, Yun Ye continued to talk to himself, he was always like this, he had to say whatever he wanted.
The hostess seemed to be hit in a sore spot, and although she still smiled, her face became more and more ugly.
Not caring about the hostess's reaction at all, Yun Yeyao walked to the right side of the hostess, and after standing still, he whispered: "You are you, you think you are not you, right?" Also, the cuckoo has hit an obstacle, the cuckoo doesn't fly, have you fixed it? ”
As soon as I asked these few words, I obviously saw that the hostess's loose clothes trembled slightly, as if they were blown by the wind, but not like the effect of the wind.
Barely calming down, the hostess said: "That cuckoo clock is broken, I'm going to send it for repair, you must have seen the cuckoo in the window, right, it just told the time." ”
Indeed, before the hostess went out, the cuckoo clock in the house had chime, but it was nine o'clock in the morning, and the cuckoo's clear call was only seven times, the last two of which were muffled by the hoarse grinding sound between the machines.
At this moment, a trace of strangeness flashed in the eyes of the hostess of Lucifer's villa when she looked at Yun Yeyao, but the strange thing was that there seemed to be little fear in this strange appearance, and more flashes were something incomprehensible.
Sometimes, a small episode may reflect something that may be infinitely magnified in the future, and even bring danger. Just like now, Mo Haiyou, who wanted to stop talking, looked at Yun Yeyao's worried eyes.
——
The wise young man didn't follow, he just hid in someone's pre-set prosthesis, right among the pile of sharply sloping rocks.
Because of this, one of the three will arrive late, and the other will take on the role of deliberately attracting attention.
There's nothing strange about it here, and it's also something that those who are good at setting up a camouflage figure in the middle of the night.
However, they saw something they shouldn't see, and in the window on the right, the cuckoo was containing; And on the hillside in the middle of the night, the lovely maid went crazy......

June 12, 2017 at 9 a.m
At this moment, except for the bearded Jia, everyone was already sitting in the spacious living room of Villa Lucifer.
This living room is at least about seventy or eighty square meters, which is more than twice as large as the living room of ordinary people. The inside is divided into upper and lower parts by steps.
Above the staircase is a corridor leading to the stairs on either side, and the walls are covered with gruesome oil paintings, all of demons and blood-stained knights, in the style described in Mr. Lucifer's novels. The cuckoo table clock mentioned by Mrs. Lucifer is in the middle of these paintings, and it is very, very conspicuous.
The dial of the disc is topped by a delicate cuckoo's nest woven with a staggered thread of silver thread. Underneath is a huge, bulky base, tall, with two retro-style double doors blocking off all the mechanical components inside. There were two little silver devils guarding each of the doorknobs, as if they were ready to open the door at any moment.
From where they were, the silver imp seemed to be a little darkened from prolonged exposure to the air.
The steps and the floor above were covered with a dark red carpet, the kind that was not very thick, but shaggy that fit snugly against the floor. It was very comfortable to walk barefoot on it, without any sound at all.
The following part is where the three of them are sitting on the sofa now, the mahogany sofa is very similar to the carpet of the steps, and the thin cushion with black embroidery is covered on it, and the pattern on the cushion is strange, and you can clearly see that the middle part of the pattern looks like a bearded man. There is no superfluous color, and it is outlined only with hot gold silk thread.
The black mat is surrounded by tassels, neither long nor short, and looks just right.
This Lucifer villa because of the mountain, facing east and west, west close to the cliff, the whole villa from the inside looks like there is a second floor, but in fact, the stairs up to the second floor are deceiving, turn the corner and face down, and go straight to the underground villa.
Of course, this is designed to deceive guests who come here for the first time.
Standing in the direction of east and west, one large and two small mahogany sofas are on the right side (south side) of the living room, and the sofa is moved a little further to the rectangular balcony that occupies almost the entire south wall of the living room.
The floor of this balcony was flush with the floor of the hallway above the steps, and there was no way to let the rocks outside stretch all the way to the bottom of it.
The balcony faces the sea and is fully enclosed, with tempered glass installed on the perimeter. You can enjoy the sea view directly from indoors. The balcony has a comfortable and soft floor sofa. Red and grey are staggered.
Due to the difference between the balcony and the living room floor, it is necessary to go up the stairs to enter the balcony.
To the left (north) of the mahogany sofa is a large table for twelve seats, oval-shaped, surrounded by twelve solid wood chairs. The table and the chair are very simple in style, no different from what is used in ordinary homes, and it seems that neither Mr. Lucifer nor Mrs. Ex-Lady liked to play tricks on furniture.
On the longest main sofa, Yun Yeyao sat on the side close to the balcony, I don't know why, Mo Haiyou, who usually doesn't like to be close to others, sat next to Yun Yeyao today, the elbow of his left hand almost touched the hand of Yun Yeyao's wine glass, and because of his unhappy face, he has been attracting the attention of this Yun Yeyao, so the wine glass is in his hand, but he hasn't taken a sip yet.
Xie Yunmeng sat on the single sofa on the side of them near the large table with a smile on his face, and across from him sat the villa hostess, and the conversation was mainly between the two people. The remaining two are basically listeners. (Mo Haiyou was angry, and Yun Yeyao didn't dare to speak.) )
After the conversation went on for a while, Xie Yunmeng suddenly asked, "Hey, don't you have a maid here?" ”
Indeed, not a single servant in the living room could be seen, which was very abnormal.
The hostess put down the teacup in her hand, stood up very gracefully, and said, "There are two maids, and one is now packing up the things that will be used in two days in the underground villa. The other is the live-in maid, who is not in good health these days, today I let her rest in the room, you wait a minute, I will call her out to say hello. ”
After saying that, the hostess walked straight up the steps, because it was summer, and she was wearing bamboo slippers, but the bottom looked very thick.
In addition, the slippers are all provided to the guests, and there is no sound at all when walking on the floor, so maybe the slippers are also part of the party props.
As soon as the hostess disappeared to the right side of the aisle above, the three men became very serious, and their eyes were focused on the base of the cuckoo clock, as if there was something unusual there......
