Chapter 845: Ten Occupants Act 13
Mo Haiyou left his position and squatted in front of the corpse to observe for a few minutes, and then said to Xie Yunmeng: "I agree with you, the preliminary judgment is that the death time of Yong Poppy is at least more than 30 hours, first of all, the remaining corpse spots have entered the infiltration period, the so-called infiltration period is due to the action of bacteria, the corpse begins to decay and deteriorate, and the compression of the corpse spots cannot make it transfer or disappear, the skin tissue inside the corpse spots is purple, and there will be no more blood flowing out of the blood vessels." β
"These are clearly shown on the corpses of the poppies, who are so badly decomposed and kept in the flower fields for a long time, because the temperature and humidity in the fields are relatively high, which is easy to breed bacteria and be eaten by small insects."
"The second is the degree of rigor mortis, which begins to relieve 24 to 48 hours after death, depending on the surrounding environment, the manner of death, the age of the victim, and other factors. Environmental factors are very important. If Yong Poppy had indeed been placed in the flower field all along, then there would be nothing surprising that the zombie was in a state of relaxation, the higher the ambient temperature, the earlier the zombie and the time to relieve the zombie would be. β
"Also, although it is not completely conclusive, I think there is no trace of artificial destruction of the corpse on Yong Poppy's corpse, and the joints in his jaw, arms and other places tend to be soft," Mo Hai said right, while putting on the disposable gloves in his pocket, he raised Yong Poppy's jaw in front of everyone, bent and stretched his arms, and showed it to everyone, and then he continued: "Poisoning, illness, and death from mechanical injury will have an impact on the stiffness time of the corpse, so I will not repeat this." β
After speaking, Mo Haiyou stood up and added, "Officer Xie, you can go on." He took off his gloves and threw them in the trash, sat back in his original position, and continued to be a listener.
Xie Yunmeng said: "I thought that the black shadow went upstairs to find an opportunity to kill, so I followed him closely, but after I went upstairs, I only saw an empty corridor, and all the rooms were very quiet, and I couldn't hear any abnormal sounds at all." β
"At this time, if I go and knock on the door of the sleeping person, if I find the person who sneaks into the room, it is okay to say, if not, it will be difficult to explain, and there are two ladies in the room, so I don't choose to knock, but I carefully examine every door in the hallway, not looking at the footprints in front of the door."
Up to this time, Yun Yeyao had been listening, he didn't ask questions, and he didn't interrupt Xie Yunmeng's narration, but he already had several questions in his heart. Yun Yeyao looked at An Lingxiang and asked; "Miss An, did you quarrel with Mr. Fu for the second time in the Westinghouse stairwell here?"
"Yes." An Lingxiang reluctantly responded, her voice so light that she could barely hear it.
Yun Yeyao didn't want to affect her emotions too much, so she continued to ask her in a gentle manner: "Please tell me, did you really hear Mr. Fu talking to the maid when you went upstairs?" β
ββ¦β¦ Yes. An Lingxiang's voice was not only soft this time, but also muffled, she was like an ostrich escaping from reality, burying her head in Luo Yifan's arms.
"Then please recall, what did Mr. Fu and the maid say?"
Yun Yeyao waited patiently for An Lingxiang's answer, but this time, he didn't wait for any response. The hostess of the lavender villa seemed to have lost her voice, and it seemed that she had not heard Yun Yeyao's question clearly, and she was silent.
Luo Yifan shook his head towards Yun Yeyao and nodded again. The two of them have determined the answer to the question just now, and the silence here means that the hostess acquiesced to her lies, and it also means that she really loves the man and wants to cover it up for the man.
This hostess was never a shrewd woman, nor was she a woman with a lot of tolerance. Although she has experienced changes, her state of mind has changed. But compared to all of you, he is still a fragile child.
No matter how gentle Yun Yeyao's attitude was in asking questions, the repeated questions scared her. Fear will cause withdrawal, and the way for a naΓ―ve person to retreat is not to look at what he doesn't want to see, not to listen to what he doesn't want to hear, and not to say what he doesn't want to say!
Let Luo Yifan go to comfort the poor hostess, Yun Yeyao said to Xie Yunmeng: "Xiao Meng, before you continue, it is necessary for us to clarify some questions, what do you think was when you and Mr. Fu stayed in the warehouse last night?" Where did Wu Xinghan go? β
"I'm not sure if this person exists," Xie Yunmeng replied, "If according to my thoughts, I think Wu Xinghan should be someone's stand-in, there are only two possibilities here, one is that Miss An is lying, and the purpose is to protect Mr. Fu." If that were the case, Miss An should have known from the beginning that Mr. Fu was doing some shady act, or she thought that Mr. Fu was the murderer from the beginning. β
"Miss An, what I want is to go upstairs from you, he will see Wu Xinghan, and then return to the details of the downstairs. Please be sure to tell me every detail, including what you have seen during this time. What do you hear? Yun Yeyao added.
After another long silence, An Lingxiang raised her head and was about to speak, but she still showed hesitation, and Mo Haiyou interjected at this time: "Miss An, please tell us the truth, this is not only about yourself, but also about whether the person you love is innocent." β
"I understand...... I believe that petty blame doesn't kill. An Lingxiang said as if relieved, her eyes were still looking at the person sitting on the ground, as if this person would be identified as the murderer in the next second. Hesitation and uneasiness continue to torment the 21-year-old woman's heart, making her more and more sad.
"I don't know why we were arguing that day? Since the morning, Xiao Zhi has been complaining about what I have forgotten for the first time. Usually in this family, in addition to my daily habits, I don't care about many things, I don't care, and forgetting is a common thing. Little blame usually never says. β
Yun Yeyao asked, "Has Mr. Fu been complaining all day, or is it just complaining when the two of you are alone?" β
"He never said these things in front of other people, he cared a lot about my face." An Lingxiang replied: "The morning before yesterday, our first quarrel also happened in the room of the East House, and no one saw it. β
Xie Yunmeng said: "But I don't think Mr. Fu had any scruples when he talked to me about you. The night before, after your second argument, Mr. Fu and I talked about you, and he said that you would deliberately play a prank out of anger and throw some things in the house into the lavender field. And I can hear him in his tone, you two used to argue a lot,"
"Most of the time you're making a fuss. Mr. Fu's words only give me one feeling, that is, he doesn't love you. Forgive me for saying that, Miss Ann, and I didn't even hear his basic respect for you. β
Before Xie Yunmeng's words fell, An Lingxiang cried, and she said loudly to Mr. Criminal Police: "This is impossible, Xiao Zhi has always tried his best to protect me, since my parents left, Xiao Zhi has always taken care of me, he is like my ......"
"After talking about Mr. Fu's actions, let's take a look at the maid, Mr. Fu deliberately quarreled with Miss An in the stairwell, it should be to cover up the maid's footsteps, they quarreled for enough time for the maid to sneak to the door of the stairwell to hide, so Mr. Fu only needs to walk to the door of the stairwell, and the rest of the footsteps can be replaced by the maid, which can easily deceive Miss An's ears."
Mr. Fu and the maid had been waiting for Miss An to arrive in the Westroom, and he was sure that Miss An would be soft-hearted and took the initiative to come to him. Because he knows very well how much Miss An loves him, Mr. Fu has actually become the real manager of the Lavender Villa, and it is he who does everything that makes Miss An more and more dependent on him. β
So naturally, the relationship between them was reversed, and Miss An didn't dare to ignore his feelings. Even if you are a child, you will learn to give in when you realize that you are at the mercy of others, not to mention that Miss An is not really a child, she is just a willful temper and is not good at managing her own life. β
"This has a lot to do with the way a person is educated since childhood, as well as the living environment, I want to ask, Miss An, have you ever left this lavender villa since you were a child? Or rather, what kind of life did you experience as a child? Have you ever left the mountain? β
"Never," An Lingxiang's answer was full of loneliness and distress, she said: "The lavender villa was secretly built by my grandfather, Xiao Zhi said that this is an illegal building, if it is discovered, the state can send someone to demolish it anytime and anywhere, in order to be able to keep my only property, I don't dare to step out of the mountain at all." β
"My grandfather used to live in a farmer's house at the foot of the mountain, and my parents didn't know what they were doing. I saved a lot of money and gave it to my grandfather, and told my grandfather that the money must be hidden, and no one can say anything about it. β
"Grandpa put the money in a sack and buried it under the land in the back mountain, under the foundations of the lavender villa. Later, my grandfather told me that my parents had gone to the city and that I hadn't seen them since. Although Grandpa repeatedly assured that the two of them were fine, it was because they had to make money to support us, so there was no way to meet. But I've always been upset, and I feel like Mom and Dad may never come back. β
Didn't Luo Yifan almost become a victim of the agency? In fact, after Bai Yun was betrayed, she didn't want to be Mr. Xinghai again, but wanted to open the circle of lavender flowers around the house and let the criminal police see the secrets hidden below. At that time, the heavy version underneath was still intact.
However, Xie Yunmeng's impulsive behavior made him ignore Bai Yun's true motives. When the house began to tilt and sink, the load-bearing plate was naturally crushed, and Luo Yifan jumped out of the stairwell window of the east house at this time. But fortunately, he reacted quickly and grabbed the foundation of the house, so he didn't die.
When Bai Yun entered the animal, Luo Yifan had already returned to the West House from the second floor with Wu Xinghan, who was caught in the secret passage, and the time difference was only ten minutes. At this time, Mi Xiaodong had not yet received Xie Yunmeng's entrustment, and went to Wu Weiyun to ask the final truth.
Did Bai Yun meet Mi Xiaodong? Did Xie Yunmeng know that she had entered the passage? Let us leave these questions to the reasoning of detectives and criminal police.
From An Lingxiang's mouth, Yun Yeyao confirmed his guess about Fu Zhi, on the first day of the Lavender Villa murder, Fu Zhi did play Wu Xinghan. So, is he Wu Xinghan's accomplice? Or does there not exist Wu Xinghan at all, everything is a 'drama' directed and acted by Fu Zhi?
After listening to An Lingxiang's story, Yun Ye asked Xie Yunmeng from afar; "Xiao Meng, the situation in Mr. Fu's room at that time, please describe it in detail."
"There are exactly the same footprints on the windowsill of the room and on the floor of the bathroom, which can be determined to have been left by the same person, and there are many finger prints on the wall under the windowsill, the finger prints are very complete, but there are no traces of the palms, and they are deliberately pressed on it. The footprints in the bathroom were messy, but there were no handprints around the bathtub and sink. Throughout the room, there are more or less traces of touch on the furniture. β
After thinking about it for a while, Yun Yeyao spoke unhurriedly, no one was in a hurry, everyone was quietly waiting to listen to his reasoning, Mo Haiyou and Luo Yifan had their own analysis and judgment, Xie Yunmeng also did his homework this time.
Yun Yeyao said: "Xiao Meng's judgment is very correct, there is indeed a person who wants to blame Mr. Fu, and I think that this person has tried every means to confirm Mr. Fu's crime so that he can escape." Miss An, Ms. Wen and Miss Canglu Lu can't be this stortion, and the reason should be very clear to everyone. β
"First of all, I want to start with the beginning when we met Liu Yunzhao in the hotel, Liu Yunzhao can't know which restaurant we are going to eat that day, because there is no one around him who is familiar with us at all, so did he meet us in the hotel and make a temporary invitation by chance?"
"No, so there is only one explanation for this matter, that is, someone is following us, and among me, Xiaomeng and Xiaozuo, I am the easiest to be followed, and I am also the most idle person. Most of the time, Xiao Meng and Xiao Zuo have other criminal police officers around them, so I think that this person being followed is probably me. β
"As for whether the stalker is Liu Yunzhao himself? Or one of his helpers, it's impossible to guess, because no witnesses can be found now. However, Xiao Zuo," Yun Yeyao turned to Mo Haiyou and asked, "When we were talking to Liu Yunzhao at that time, you kept your face facing out of the window because you hated him, well, do you recall, did you see anything at that time?" β
"For example, a suspicious person who stays not far away, or something strange, etc."
After listening to Yun Yeyao's question, Mo Haiyou fell into memories, he really didn't pay attention to these things at the time, he just blindly felt that Liu Yunzhao's greasy appearance was very annoying, and he didn't want to talk to him more.
After a general search in his mind, Mo Haiyou said to Yun Yeyao: "No, the people on the street were normal at that time, and no one deliberately stopped to look in the direction of the restaurant, and when we went to eat, the street seemed to be very empty, and there were not many people passing by...... I remember there was an alley across the street with clothing stores on both sides of the alley, and then ...... Wait, you make me think! β
Although it was confirmed that there might be someone above who was arresting the criminal, but now Mi Xiaodong could only be in a hurry, because the cover plate on the top of his head was locked, and it couldn't be smashed open from his side, and just when he was in a hurry, he suddenly heard the sound of someone falling heavily to the ground.
Mi Xiaodong's heart tightened, he was afraid that the person he thought of just now would be injured, and he was about to jump up and knock on the cover on the top, no matter what, he had to confirm who the winner was first? If it is a person in your imagination, listening to the sound of knocking on the cover below, with the ingenuity of this person, the cover will definitely be opened.
If it wasn't the person he imagined, but the murderer won, then no one would have opened the cover, and Mi Xiaodong thought that he would definitely hear the footsteps of the murderer running away.
Mi Xiaodong below tried his best to confirm what happened above? Above, however, came the voice he least wanted to hear, and the sound of hurried footsteps was getting farther and farther away from where he was, as if he was running towards the top of the stairs.
This time Mi Xiaodong was really anxious, the cover plate on it was very thick, and he couldn't open it with his hands at all, he was desperately looking for things on the ground, such as stones, wooden sticks, etc., and regretted very much that when he came in just now, why didn't he think of moving a piece of the stone outside.
The more anxious a person is, the more he can't think of a good way, and the more he can't find something to take advantage of, Mi Xiaodong is in this state now. Gradually, the footsteps of the escape on the top can no longer be heard, and Mi Xiaodong still has no breakthrough here.
About five or six minutes later, there was a voice from above again, it was actually a man's terrible scream, which made people even more frightened, Mi Xiaodong could vaguely hear the sound of someone smashing things? With each knock, the man above screamed in pain.
After careful distinction, Mi Xiaodong didn't think that the scream was like someone he knew, but he couldn't be completely sure, after all, the voice of pain was very different from the voice he usually spoke. This may be the most anxious time in Mi Xiaodong's criminal police career, if no one opens the cover in time, it is estimated that Mi Xiaodong will have to die in the underground passage!
After another ten minutes, the sound above finally quieted down, at this time, Mi Xiaodong heard a person's heavy footsteps and returned downstairs again, and then, the sound of the cover plate being pulled out of the bolt came from the top, and Mi Xiaodong hurriedly looked up.
"I wanted to expose someone's crime, so I kept conspiring with Liu Yunzhao as an accomplice, and I bought that dilapidated motorcycle in the hope of attracting the attention of investigators."
When Xu Qing said these words, everyone fell silent, what was the truth about the car accident that happened in the lavender field in the past? Yun Yeyao has no less doubts about this matter than anyone else. So he listened carefully to every word Xu Qing said.
"It all starts with me working in the city, my original name is Xu Jinghong, after graduating from high school, I came to the city alone with a bag on my back, and in the first few years here, I couldn't find any good jobs at all, and I didn't have much ability, so I often starved. Later, I finally scraped together some money, bought a dilapidated motorcycle, and roamed around the city, picking up some scattered jobs for painting walls and bricks. β
"At that time, I didn't have much hope for the future at all, I just thought about living one day at a time, and I was satisfied with being able to support my parents back home. Near the area I often wander around is a small field of lavender flowers, which is very luxuriant, right in the middle of the fork in the road. When I'm not working, I always like to stare at the lavender fields. β
"Gradually, I noticed that there was often a young girl sitting in the flower field, where she would read and sometimes paint. So I began to look closely at the girl, and I also noticed that he occasionally danced in the flower field, and did not know what to do. β
So one time, I mustered up the courage to go up to her and ask, "What are you doing?" I thought I would be blinded or scolded, but I didn't expect the girl to smile at me and say gently: I'm practicing acting! Later, I found out that she was attending an acting school, and the strange movements she practiced in the flower field were the homework assigned by the school. β
"I envy her very, very much, that the people who can go to this kind of school are all born into wealthy families. In order to be able to get close to her, I bought myself a decent dress, and I was not afraid of your jokes when I said it, and the clothes that cost a few hundred yuan almost cost all my savings, and at that time, after buying clothes, I almost couldn't even eat. When Xu Qing said this, the tears in his eyes slowly fell. He is lamenting his fate and grieving for those who have passed.
"For this reason, I did not hesitate to owe usury and asked a private detective for help, and finally found out that Mr. Wu had divorced Sister Wen, and their family had already left the city, but his son Wu Xinghan seemed to be still here. Moreover, the private detective also found out that Wu Xinghan lived in an apartment that was not in very good condition, and shared it with a person named Liu Yunzhao. β
"This proves that this Wu Xinghan has also fallen into the middle of the family, otherwise how would he go to a shared apartment with others."
"I found the apartment, while monitoring Wu Xinghan, while working to make money, and then I paid off part of the loan shark, and also used the extra money to buy a ring to send back to my hometown, I told my parents: that is the wedding ring I am going to give Qingqing, I hope they can help me keep it, and when I take Qingqing home, they will definitely let them live a good life. However, such a promise is almost like an empty word, and I don't even know where Qingqing is. β
"I also thought about going to Wu Weiyun, hoping to get some clues from him, but seeing Wu Weiyun's sad and desperate appearance at the funeral, I didn't have the courage to go to him. But what I don't understand is that I can recognize the deceased as Qingqing, why can't Wu Weiyun recognize it? Even if the appearance is similar and the blood type is the same, it won't even be recognized as your own daughter, right? β
"That's the only question I don't understand so far. After I hired a private detective, I met Wu Xinghan and Liu Yunzhao at the same time, but I didn't include Liu Yunzhao in the plan at all, because he was just a co-tenant in my mind, and had nothing to do with the car accident and the past. β
"I really began to suspect that Liu Yunzhao was wandering around Mount L during the days, in order to pay off my debts and maintain the living expenses needed to continue looking for Qingqing, I did almost any kind of work, and there were several large garbage recycling stations near the mountain, so I would go there once a year."
"It was near the warehouse where Liu Yunzhao died that I saw him, as well as his sister Liu Yun. Liu Yunzhao didn't know why that day? It has been around the garbage dump and has not left for a long time. His strange behavior caught my attention, and the other thing was how he was dressed that day. β
"In this way, I completely controlled Liu Yunzhao and Liu Yun step by step. Wu Xinghan can't hope that you will notice the Lavender Villa at all, he just wants to use your name to attract these people here to the villa. Because of this, I have to do everything possible to attract Mr. Yun and the three of you to the Lavender Villa and sabotage his plans. β
"I followed Mr. Yun for several days, and finally caught the opportunity for the three of them to be together, so I hurriedly informed Liu Yunzhao to go to the hotel to find you, this guy's acting skills are really clumsy, he actually just finished talking to you, he couldn't wait to go back to the alley to find me, which scared me, fortunately you didn't look at me at that time."
"But then I thought about it, and I found out that there was nothing, and I wanted to make you suspicious. My only fear at the time was that Liu Yunzhao, a fat and ugly guy, would annoy you and make you reluctant to go to the lavender villa.
"Sure enough, my worries are really not unfounded, Liu Yunzhao came back and told me that Mr. Forensic and Mr. Criminal Police seemed to be reluctant to go to the Lavender Villa, only Mr. Actor showed a little curiosity, but it was not finalized."
"There is no way, I can only ask Liu Yunzhao to go back and wait for the call, a few days later, Liu Yunzhao told me, Mr. Yun, you called him and expressed your willingness to go to the lavender villa, I was relieved, and then I began to arrange the scene that Liu Yunzhao performed in the warehouse."
"On the day of Liu Yunzhao's death, I did follow him to the warehouse, hid behind the garbage heap, and pretended to be a cleaner who didn't know anything. Leaning on the discarded plastic sheets, I lurked very close to the window. The small door at the back of the warehouse was also secretly modified by me with a drawing board, in order to facilitate my departure at a critical moment. β
"Like I said, I didn't expect Wu Xinghan to grasp the secret between me and Liu Yunzhao so quickly, so I also thought that Liu Yunzhao could live to enter the lavender villa, and I arrived much earlier than you, so when someone sent the courier into the warehouse, I also saw it."
"But I still didn't suspect anything, I just thought that such a big box should contain something like a drawing board."
Xu Qing was already very anxious at this time, and he urged Yun Yeyao and said, "Who is the real murderer you are talking about?" Who is using Wu Xinghan as a shield, tell me quickly. β
"Why don't you understand? Who pretended to be Wu Xinghan in the room to deceive Miss An? Who took the maid? And who was the last to be killed? Yun Yeyao threw Xu Qing a series of rhetorical questions, which finally opened Xu Qing's mind.
"Are you talking about the man who is responsible for this lavender villa?"
"Yes, that's him!" Yun Yeyao immediately took up the conversation solemnly: "It's Fu Zhi, in this whole incident, the most innocent person is the real Wu Xinghan, he has long been imprisoned in the secret passage by Fu Zhi, and the last person to die is not Fu Zhi at all, but Wu Xinghan." β
"From the beginning to the present, Wu Xinghan and Fu Zhi who appeared in front of everyone have always been the same person, and the real Wu Xinghan has never appeared once at all."
"But the blood types of the two people are different, won't the truth be revealed as soon as the police investigate afterwards?" Xu Qing still couldn't believe that the real culprit was Fu Zhi, not Wu Xinghan.
"Then I have to ask Ms. Wen, I think Ms. Wen should wake up after 'sleeping' for so long, right?" Luo Yifan stood up, walked to Wen Yuan's side, patted the beautiful woman's shoulder, and continued: "We should all thank Ms. Wen, because she was the first of all to wake up, and it was she who set a fire in a hurry to lead us back to the Westinghouse in time." β
"Ms. Wen, now that everything is safe, you can wake up." Luo Yifan added with a smile.
The woman who had been leaning on Xu Qing's side really moved, and then slowly opened her eyes, and the eyes that had been beautiful from her youth to the present were full of guilt instead of joy after solving the case. To Xu Qing, to her daughter Wu Qingqing, and to Canglulu and Wu Weiyun.
When she sat up straight, Wen Yuan's tears also fell, and she said: "You shouldn't say thank you to me, but I, I should say sorry to the children, if it weren't for the greed, snobbery, and competitiveness of my youth, it wouldn't have caused the tragedy of Jinghong and Qingqing, and it wouldn't have caused Weiyun to be lonely all his life." I'm sorry, Jinghong, it's all my fault! I'm sorry! β
"Not only did he lay a thick layer of earth on the cover plate at the entrance and exit of the passage, but also a small section of passage from the bottom of the cover to the first bend was also filled with earth by him, so that if the excavator was sloppy and opened the cover and saw that there was dirt underneath the landfill, he would be deceived by the murderer's trick and think that the passage had not been reopened at all."
"I didn't see the passage below until I dug up the two layers of dirt, because I couldn't be sure if the murderer was still in the lavender villa, so in order to prevent the murderer from using the passage after me, I found that the passage had been dug up and ran away. I filled in the dirt little by little, as it was, as much as I could, and then I walked down the passage all the way deeper. β
"The farther I walked, the more wrong I felt, the passage seemed to me to be a little crooked, although the surrounding scenery was still exactly the same as before, but I always felt that the direction was a little wrong, when I saw the entrance and exit covered by plants, I understood. Instead of digging the original passage straight to the end, they only dug half of it and then changed direction, allowing the passage to continue inside the mountain. β
"They completely sealed the original exit, and then dug a slanted arc on the wall of the original passage little by little, so that the passage gradually extended to the position they specified, which was difficult to do, and required careful measurement and calculation, and even the slightest deviation would not work."
"This kind of project is difficult for individuals or farmers in nearby villages to complete without the guidance of professionals, so I think it is very likely that the company will be responsible for the excavation, which makes me further sure that I may really be on the right track."
"The passage is divided into two parts, and the first part has a relatively small curve, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will mistakenly think that it leads directly to the outside of the cliff as before. The plant-covered entrance in the middle of the passage was also a trick, they deliberately made it exactly like the original entrance and exit on the other side of the cliff, and hung camouflaged poisonous snakes between the plants to stop the footsteps of the intruder, but in fact, all this was a fake. β
"Just go straight through the entrance and you can see the back half of the passage, which is the real way to the Lavender Villa. That part of the curve is very large, gradually sloping downward, leading directly to the foundation of the east house of the lavender villa. β
"That is to say, you have never seen what Wu Xinghan really looked like when he grew up, you took away all the property of Wu Xinghan's father back then, causing their father and son to live in a downcast, and there was no news after going abroad for ten years, how could Wu Xinghan forgive you for no reason? Ms. Wen, haven't you considered this layer? β
"I've thought about it, and I don't know why? But I wholeheartedly want to be forgiven by everyone, so I think that Xiaohan has just grown up and has his own life, and I don't want to be bound by the past anymore. β
"If my conjecture is not wrong, Wu Xinghan's father should have been killed by Fu Zhi a long time ago, and I think the police will soon be able to investigate the cause and process. For the sake of the current murder plan, Fu Zhi imprisoned Wu Xinghan and waited for the opportunity. He relied on the dividends of the enterprise and secretly lived a prosperous life. β
"In order to achieve the replacement of identity, I think there is another point that is very important, that is, the issue of blood type, if Fu Zhi and Wu Xinghan have the same blood type, then is there a relationship between them? Ms. Wen, after you went abroad, did Wu Xinghan's father remarry? β
"I don't know! Before I went abroad, I was sorry for him, so I didn't dare to inquire. Wen Yuan closed his eyes and lowered his head, not daring to look at the faces of others. All of these questions and answers made her feel that she was sinful and unworthy of forgiveness.
Luo Yifan continued: "I couldn't have learned about this at the time, so the more questions I had in my mind, the more I couldn't find the right direction. And our judgment of the murderer has also been deviated, so to speak, half wrong and half right. I think it's possible that the murderer is still in the lavender villa, but in fact he left the villa after stuning Officer Xie. So, no matter how many clues we found at that time, there was no way to trap him. β
"But the right half is that the murderer still has a follow-up move, so he will inevitably return to the lavender villa, and it is precisely because he is back that I have the opportunity to threaten him to tell the truth."
"In fact, the attack only knocked me unconscious, and did not leave me with multiple injuries. At that time, I pretended to be in pain, buried myself in Sister Wen's arms, and then used the cover of her body to sprinkle the drug on the sofa cushion. β
"Where did your drug come from?" Xie Yunmeng asked.
"It was secretly taken from the room of the little blame, I know that he has been hiding drugs in the room, but I don't know what use he is for? After suspecting that he was Wu Xinghan's helper, I secretly found an opportunity to steal the drug from the small responsibility room. β
Xie Yunmeng recalled the scene at the time and said: "Ms. Wen only felt that you spilled something on the sofa cushion, it was impossible to guess that it was a drug at once, at that time, Miss Bai was still in Mr. Xu's arms, you were by Ms. Wen's side, and the person closest to the sofa was Miss Canglu Lu, no wonder she has not woken up until now." It was probably because she fainted first that Ms. Wen confirmed that you were drugged and identified you as an accomplice to the murderer. β
"I, I think it might be." An Lingxiang replied.
Xie Yunmeng continued: "Except for Miss Canglu Lu, everyone else should not be deeply affected by the drug, especially Ms. Wen. But in a daze, she's not sure if you've sprinkled the drugged on other fabrics as well? That's why all the fabric was moved to the window and burned, hoping that all the drugs would be evaporated. β
An Lingxiang said: "When everyone fell to the ground, I also followed and lay on the ground and pretended to be unconscious. I still had the last bit of the drug in my hand, and I wanted to use it again when Officer Xie returned. My idea is very simple, after everyone is in a coma, I will erase all the evidence in the house that may identify Xiao Zhi and Wu Xinghan, if I meet Wu Xinghan at that time, I will definitely do my best to keep him, even if it is to pay for my life, I can't let Xiao Zhi die in vain. β
ββ¦β¦ Do you really love me that much? Haven't you always treated me like a dispensable housekeeper? When An Lingxiang said that he was willing to die for Fu Xu, the murderer who had been bowing his head and saying nothing on the ground finally spoke, he raised his head, revealed the face of An Lingxiang's heart, and asked.
An Lingxiang said to him with tears in her eyes: "I know that I have always caused you a lot of trouble because of my temper, but I just want to say that no matter what kind of person I am in life, my love for you is true, and until now, after knowing all your crimes, I still love you." β
"Just as I was waking you up in the East Room, I accidentally saw the soles of your shoes, and there was some minced meat or something on them? When you were in a daze, I helped you wipe off some of the blood on your body, and scraped off the minced flesh on the soles of your shoes, your foot was really ruthless, it should be a small snake that just broke out of the shell, if it was a big snake, you couldn't be so lucky. β
Mo Haiyou said: "On the body of the poppy, there are also snake tooth marks, just near his wounds, although he was not poisoned, but from this it can be determined that there are indeed snakes in the lavender field, and the body of the poppy has indeed been placed in the center of the lavender field, otherwise the snake would not have followed the smell of blood to find him and bite out the wound on his body." β
"Miss An didn't expect that Officer Xie would actually fall into a coma at that time? Moreover, the real accomplice Bai Yun also climbed out of the outdoors at this moment, ready to escape. Miss Ann seized the opportunity and ran back to the second floor of the Westinghouse, and instead of entering the warehouse or Fu Zhi's room, she ran into the room facing the scene of death. β
"Miss An, why did you go to that room?" Luo Yifan asked.
"That room was originally Mr. Xu's room, but I know that Mr. Xu usually lives with Sister Yun, and last night, when Officer Xie and Xiao Zhi were making lavender bouquets in the warehouse, didn't they see Wu Xinghan? At that time, I guessed that Wu Xinghan might have gone to Mr. Xu's room to hide, so I chose to go to Mr. Xu's room to check, I didn't expect to catch the murderer, I just wanted to find out if there were any traces left by the murderer to prove my guess. An Lingxiang replied.
"That's right, no wonder I saw you at the window looking down at the ground, as if looking for something, you were looking for footprints, right?" Luo Yifan asked.
"Yes, the only clues I can think of are the fingerprints and footprints left by the murderer, but I found nothing, so I had to leave the room again, wanting to go back downstairs and pretend that nothing had been done, anyway, Sister Wen was really unconscious, and it was impossible for her to see my actions at that time."
"But your actions made me puzzled, the house was about to collapse, but Officer Xie didn't escape in time, and your sneaky actions in the room, I couldn't see your face clearly, I was thinking at the time, if you were the real murderer, you should climb out of the window, because there is Officer Xie guarding downstairs, and you going downstairs is tantamount to throwing yourself into the net."
"Lingling, after this case is resolved, you and Qingqing will go home together, and our son-in-law Jinghong, I will take his parents to the city to live together, anyway, there are many empty houses in the old house, and it is too lonely for me to live alone, and it is better if there are more people." I have already forgiven you, Jinghong is a good boy, and I also hope that you can accept him, and he will give Qingqing a lifetime of happiness. β
"As for the family's expenses, you don't have to worry too much, Jinghong can find a job slowly, don't worry, my old bone can act for a few more years, and Lingling, you can continue to be on stage." I think the most important thing you should do now is to tell Jinghong about Qingqing's affairs 1510, so that the two of them can recognize each other, and it is not in vain that Jinghong has loved Qingqing for so many years. β
"Lingling, since you came back again to take Qingqing away, I have let go of my hatred for you, because I know that you still love our daughter in your heart, and that is enough. has always refused to recognize you, but also because I was afraid that the criminal police would arrest you, the little girl in the lavender field back then, you really shouldn't use her to pretend to be Qingqing, although her injuries were not directly caused by you, but you didn't save her when she saw death, but it was the root cause of her death. β
"I don't want you to go to jail, nor do I want Qingqing to be implicated because of the sins you have committed, so I will keep silent, our daughter has already suffered too much, all this, I have to say, is caused by our greed and selfishness back then. Therefore, from now on, the two of us must do our best to make up for the damage done to the children. β
"Alas! Jinghong is so pitiful, I can't even imagine how much he suffered to find Qingqing? But I didn't expect that the person I love the most has always been by my side, how many times I want you to tell the truth to Jinghong, but I haven't had a chance to speak. But here, I still have to say to Jinghong selfishly, I hope you can forgive Qingqing's mother, no matter what, she is the one who gave Qingqing life, please forgive her! β
"For so many years, I have always kept Qingqing's urn at home, although the urn is empty, but I tied the necklace I bought for Lingling on it, I hope that when I come back, Lingling can see all this, so I can repent and find the kindness of my youth. Really, Lingling was really kind when she was a teenager, and if it weren't for her selflessness and sincerity, we wouldn't have been able to come together. β
"In the end, I chose to take Qingqing away in a special way, making myself more wrong and making Qingqing suffer the pain she shouldn't have suffered, my daughter, I really hope that it was my face that was ruined back then, not Qingqing's. However, no matter how much I regret it, I can't undo the mistakes I made. Just like Weiyun said, we can only use our last life to love our children well, make our own meager amends as much as possible, and hope that the children can be happy and forget all the pain. β
"Jinghong, are you willing to love Qingqing again?" Wen Yuan looked at Xu Jinghong (Xu Qing), and his eyes showed begging.
Xu Qing didn't answer, smiled and hugged Canglu Lu into his arms, and then said to Wen Yuan: "Mom, although I know that I am not Qingqing's husband now, and I am not qualified to call you like this, but I still want to call you Mom in advance, please rest assured, no matter what Qingqing becomes, I will love her as always." Everything in the past has been blown away by the wind, and our lives are about to start anew. And you and your father too. β
"Thank you! Thank you! Jinghong, thank you! Wen Yuan grabbed Xu Jinghong's arm tightly, and there were no more words, she could only use the word thank you to express her mood at the moment.
The true interaction between them infected everyone present, and Yun Yeyao's eyes were also filled with tears, and he suppressed his voice in his throat: "Whispering, it's good to have a child, a child who belongs to him, a child who is connected by flesh and blood...... That is the bond that dissolves all grievances. β
He thought that this sentence had only reached his ears and no one had heard it, but how could his emotions and words be hidden from the two men beside him? Mo Haiyou and Xie Yunmeng looked at their beloved at the same time. A person's eyes are full of loneliness, and there is sadness that cannot be had; And the other look is full of love and tolerance.
The lonely and sad man stood up and walked to the window, he deliberately gave way to the other person, he knew that he could not do more than avoid it. So he didn't want to see it, and he didn't want to hear it. There were no more beautiful dark purple flowers outside the window, only the ugly and dark dirt, and the busy figures of the criminal policemen, who desperately stabilized their emotions and did not let them flow on the surface.
The drizzle of rain continued to hit the water, rippling a little, and in the silence, only the rustle of raindrops could be heard cutting through the sky. A fiery red reflection pierced the water, rising and falling.
In the depths of the pool beneath the red, the dark shadows slowly rise upwards and gradually merge. But if you look closely, there is a clear difference. The fiery red floats above the water like a leaf of flat, and under the dark canopy, its round outline is like a huge flower that slopes upward, beautiful and enchanting, but also intimidating.
This is a red umbrella, the wide umbrella surface is made of fine silk silk, the slender skeleton is almost completely hidden in the dark night in the color like blood, the slender gray bamboo umbrella handle points to the sky, and at the tip of the umbrella handle, a small figure stands steadily.
The figure looked down at the lake, his long jet-black hair tightly tied to the top of his head fluttering in the wind, and the clothes on his body were like the wings of a flamingo, flying high, covering his miserable white face, making it impossible to see whether it was a ghost or a human.
Between the clothes of the same color as the umbrella, there are slender ribbons of white and light blue, and from a distance, the ribbons seem to be alive and shuttle between the clothes, like a snake.
The slender calves exposed under the body look as dry as the handle of an umbrella, and the dark brown skin is terrifying, giving people the feeling that they are dry and about to break. The handle of the umbrella, which is clinging to the soles of the feet, is also wrapped with white and light blue ribbons, the tips of which sink to the bottom of the lake, stirring up the jet-black of the depths of the pool.
In this way, one person and one umbrella kept floating forward on the surface of the lake, as if they had lost gravity, and they never sank into the depths of the lake. The rain in the sky became more and more dense, and gradually formed a vague rain curtain, completely covering this person and his umbrella, and disappeared under the cloudy sky......
Strange to say, since then, the bottom of the lake has not been as clear as before, it is always like a layer of dirt, precipitating a layer of jet black, this layer of black is like a shadow, eroding everyone's heart, making them worried, everyone clearly feels that there are fewer fish and shrimp to catch on the lake. There are more dead fish and shrimp than before, and even lobsters that used to be able to dig up a lot of mud from the shallows are now evaporating and no longer exist.
Occasionally, some experienced old fishermen will find those lobsters, but more often, they will find rotting lobster carcasses and shells, and the stench of this thing gradually makes them no longer want to hunt, so the population of the village formed by the fishermen is getting smaller and smaller, and finally it becomes a poor and abandoned village, leaving only a few old and young women and children who have no way to leave to support it.
On the surface of the lake, the wind and waves are still the same, and the sun still reflects a strange light on the lake every summer, and the busy figure full of life is like turning the title page of history, and it is no longer visible.
ββ
Thirty years after Nono's disappearance, in the largest city south of the fishing village
A young and handsome man, sitting in front of the window and looking into the distance, his pupils as clear as fine pearls, his skin slightly dark, and his short hair mixed with wisps of paleness, which should not be pale at his age.
The man just turned 27 this year, but he is already an old smoker. At this moment, while staring at the sky, he lit a cigarette for himself, which was a cigarette, not a good brand, and the man didn't care about it. After he lit it, he took a deep breath and tasted it in his mouth for a long time before he spit out white smoke in the direction of the sky.
This is a habit of his, after a few puffs, the man will put out most of the remaining cigarette butts on the table, there are already many black scorch marks on the dilapidated tabletop, the man does not even have an ashtray, he does not bother to go out to buy it.
He didn't like the hustle and bustle of the city, and in his mind, it seemed as if there was always a calm water gently undulating, and the red umbrella reflected on the water surface, making him feel that it was the most beautiful picture in the world.
Before the age of 15, Yueyue and Xiaodou didn't know each other, he was just a carefree and busy little girl, except for school, the rest of the time was spent doing housework and cooking for his parents.
Yueyue herself doesn't quite remember the specific situation of the Xiaodou incident, but she only remembers that day on a whim and ran into the small alley next to the bank, originally wanted to go directly through there to find out if there was a shortcut to reach the hospital, saving the car to ride for a long time every time, but she didn't expect the bicycle to overturn in front of Xiaodou's door, and Yueyue fell not lightly at that time. Fortunately, I met Xiaodou when I went out, which helped her.
After this time, Yueyue began to care about her Xiaodou, she found that Xiaodou had no relatives, no one to take care of her, and she had been sick in bed for many years. Moreover, there seems to be some tendency to be depressed, and due to the influence of her parents, Yueyue attaches great importance to the patient.
Therefore, she went to visit Xiaodou every once in a while, brought him delicious food, and even took the initiative to take care of Xiaodou's daily life. Yueyue didn't think it was troublesome to take care of one more person, this was what she was willing, and in the process of taking care of her, Yueyue gradually developed a good impression of Xiaodou, but she didn't dare to say it, and she didn't want to say it.
Because Yueyue feels that such a Xiaodou doesn't seem to be able to take on the future of the two of them, she hopes that Xiaodou's body can get better first, and the emotional matter can be put aside, anyway, they are very young now. Even if Xiaodou is over 30 years old, as long as she can go out to work, Yueyue is still willing to marry him.
ββ
When Yueyue came to see Xiaodou on the last day of the week, she found that Xiaodou was dressed neatly and ready to go out, Yueyue put down the bag and asked him: "Where are you going?" β
"I'm going to take out all my possessions." Xiaodou said happily that Yueyue had never seen him so happy.
"If you don't work, where do you get any property? Those tight living expenses every month are also exchanged for picking up rags, right? Yue Yue said unceremoniously. In front of Xiaodou, she has always been polite, maybe some people will say that Yueyue is too direct and will hurt Xiaodou's self-esteem.
The two of you chased after me for a long time, and then gradually stopped, and the little actor panted and propped his hands on his knees, and looked around, trying to find a place to sit. But Mr. Detective looked very good, his face was not red and he was not panting.
The public chairs around it are all occupied, and this day is a holiday, and it is the most crowded time in the shopping street. In the end, there was no way, so Mr. Criminal Police had to walk to a shop window, point to the protruding edge of the window and say to the little actor, "Why don't you just sit here and rest, rookie." β
"You're a rookie!" The little actor who originally wanted to walk over and sit down, as soon as he heard this title, he immediately became popular again. Said to Mr. Detective word by word: "You-just-are-rookie-bird!!" After saying that, he walked to the other side without turning his head, and sat directly on the ground.
"What a hopeless little fellow." Mr. Detective sighed to himself, thinking that this guy was going to get angry, and it was always so endless. I thought I really shouldn't have made a joke about him like that. So I could only put down the shelf, walked over and took the little actor's hand and said, "Come on, we still have a long way to go, I'll carry you." β
"It's not good that so many people on the road saw it." The little actor turned out to be reluctant.
Mr. Criminal Police immediately glared at him and said, "What's wrong, two big men, and it's not a man and a woman who can't kiss?" Come on, it's not a problem to carry you across this whole street on your back. β
"Forget it, it's cheap for you." After the little actor finished speaking, a smile on his face and unceremoniously threw himself on Mr. Detective's back, pressing all his weight on it, including their backpack.
After stabilizing the person, the criminal policeman said as he walked: "Who is cheaper!" I'm the one who makes the effort, why are you behaving well? β
"Just because you always let me!" The little actor didn't know how to blush at all when he spoke, and he continued: "I knew that you were the best, Xiaomeng. β
"Yes, yes, I'm the best, the best fool! By the way, what kind of scenes have you been filming recently, I see that you are so busy that you don't even have so much time to go out to play together. Mr. Detective asked.
"It's those urban romance dramas, silly and sweet heroines, rich and handsome male protagonists, I'm rich and handsome every time." The little actor said a little proudly.
"It's the rich and handsome No. 2 who can't get the heroine's feelings, right? Don't think that I haven't watched your drama, every time you are the cannon fodder of the male lead, you don't grow a little better, play a male lead and show me. Mr. Detective deliberately teased him.
Yun Yeyao couldn't help but blurt out to Xie Yunmeng: "Look, it's actually a red umbrella that drove over, isn't it strange?" β
Xie Yunmeng squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, but he still couldn't see it clearly, he said: "Xiao Yao, it can't be that you are wrong, it does look a bit like the umbrella surface of an umbrella, maybe the bow of that ship is made very wide and large, so you misunderstood." β
But Yun Yeyao didn't agree with Xie Yunmeng's words at all, "Xiao Meng, don't forget, I'm farsighted." I can see clearly what you can't see, it's definitely a red umbrella. And you see, the boatman still has the handle of the umbrella in his hand, and I will have to ask him when he comes. β
"Okay, you ask, but it has nothing to do with me, I'm not interested in the design of ships." Xie Yunmeng clasped his hands on his chest, leaned on the trunk of an old tree by the river, and continued to wait with Yun Yeyao.
