Chapter 144: The Tea Party in the Living Room
Interior of Villa Lecaon:
11:10 p.m
When the verbose mother-in-law left the living room on the second floor, Yun Yeyao immediately whispered to Xie Yunmeng: "Is the little girl below okay?" ”
"Did you notice that his clothes were all covered in blood?" Xie Yunmeng asked rhetorically.
Yun Yeyao immediately shook his head and said, "No! When I lifted the corner of the blanket, I saw only her clothes on her shoulders, and there were no strange marks there. ”
"When I hid the little girl under the covers, I took off all the blankets from her. There was a lot of blood on the inside of the blanket and on the skirt of the little girl's dress, but the fact that the little girl was not injured proved that it was blood from someone else. ”
"Is it possible that the blood stains left by the slaughter of poultry?" Yun Ye Yao confirmed.
Xie Yunmeng shook his head and said, "I thought it was the case at first, but the blood was salty, and besides, it was impossible to slaughter poultry to make all the skirts and socks full of blood!" So I think it must have been the blood stains left by someone who was killed or seriously injured, and it was probably Xiaobu or Ning Key. ”
"That's bad! Maybe the little girl was helping them, but the suspect in the house found out, so she was thrown into the forest. But what I don't understand is that since she was discovered, why didn't the suspect kill her directly? ”
Regarding this question, Xie Yunmeng can only say that he doesn't know either!
Yun Yeyao continued: "What should have happened to this family before we came? We have to figure it out and stop the suspect's next move. I just took a rough look and found that this house has three floors. The three rooms upstairs should be the rooms of the master, the housekeeper and the mother-in-law and the little maid, and the mother-in-law and the little maid should live in one room. ”
"And the living room occupies a floor, except for the kitchen and bathroom, only the small room that the housekeeper enters, I don't feel like a living room. Anyway, overall, it is estimated that there are only a few people in this family. ”
Xie Yunmeng said: "Then the object of our suspicion should be the housekeeper and mother-in-law." ”
"No, Xiao Meng, the little maid can't be excluded from the list of suspects, it's very strange that she didn't suffer any injuries at all, but she was stunned and passed out in the forest. As I said, the suspect in this case would not have been able to leave this house if he had been greedy for property. So he will definitely whitewash himself first. ”
"There are various ways to whitewash, maybe to rescue the buried victim, but what if the victim is saved by someone else? You must know that there are not only suspects in this family, and everyone is a person who has lived in the forest for many years. Turning oneself into a near-victim is also a way to whitewash. ”
"But Xiao Yao, don't forget, the footprints in the forest just now were deliberately erased."
"I know, but it is also possible that those footprints were not erased by the person concerned, maybe they were the traces that the suspect later found that the scene was destroyed and then erased? Now in this situation, first of all, we have to keep an eye on the little maid in the room, and wait for her to wake up to find out what happened before she fell unconscious. Then, find Xiaobu and Ning Key, at least one of them, as soon as possible.
"The pieces of the puzzle must be in this family, but the problem is that we have to find someone who can tell the truth. There's one more thing I've never been worried about! ”
Xie Yunmeng asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"When you first arrived at the murder scene in your apartment yesterday, was there really no one?"
"yes!"
"It's hard to say, let's analyze and analyze, until the police arrive at the scene of the murder, the murderer has no time and no possibility to escape. Then it was only after the police arrived. ”
"You're saying someone is still hiding in the apartment when I arrive?" Xie Yunmeng was surprised, and he continued: "Impossible, I have opened almost all the places in the apartment that can be opened, and there is no one at all. ”
"Xiao Meng, I'm not saying that there must be, I just suspect that there is such a possibility. Besides, did you really open up all the places that the apartment was able to open? ”
"What the hell do you mean?"
"Roof, didn't you notice that the roof of the apartment is not a single piece, but a patchwork?"
Xie Yunmeng was almost impressed by Yun Yeyao's brain hole again, he casually threw a grain in the bird's nest in the drawer, and said, "Xiao Yao, the murderer doesn't even have enough time to get in and out of the closet, and he can still climb the roof?" Besides, how rich your imagination is, the kind of roof that looks like a parquet of wood, but in fact it is just a decorative effect. It's still a whole piece inside. If you don't believe me, you can go upstairs next time! Do you think that if there is a place that can be opened, so many of our senior investigators will not be able to find it? ”
"I'm just guessing, sometimes it's not 100% right! Just like me, I make mistakes once in a while! Yun Yeyao turned his head and pretended to observe the situation in the house.
"So you'll admit that you're wrong!" Xie Yunmeng said as he gently plucked some of the leaves that had fallen from his hair with his hands, and the expression in his eyes became gentle.
Just as the two of them were whispering, a man's voice suddenly came from the top of the stairs: "You two look really happy, hello." There was a hint of envy and a hint of sadness in his tone.
Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng looked back, and there was a handsome man standing on the stairs who was as light as a mist, he gave people a sense of tranquility and concentration, but he didn't have a strong sense of existence.
Yun Yeyao hurriedly greeted: "Hello, are you the owner of this family?" He asked this on purpose, just to see how the man on the stairs would answer. Because, Yun Yeyao clearly read from Xie Yunmeng's eyes beside him, and the person they are facing now is recognized by Mr. Criminal Police, who is likely to be the suspect in the apartment murder case, Ning Key.
Ning Jian paused for a moment, as if thinking. Then he spoke unhurriedly, "It's almost 11:30 noon, aren't you going to hurry out of the forest and go home?" It was strange that Ning Jian did not answer Yun Yeyao's question directly, but seemed to be urging Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng to leave.
As he spoke, there were also footsteps behind Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng, it was Wei Xinrong, who had repaired the wall completely, and his mother-in-law who was carrying hot tea upstairs, Wei Xinrong was holding a hot water bottle in one hand, and helping her mother-in-law hold a steaming teapot with the other.
Seeing the two old men bringing tea, Xie Yunmeng and Yun Yeyao were embarrassed to stand there, so they had to temporarily give up and continue to talk with Ning Key, and greeted the housekeeper and mother-in-law.
Wei Xinrong said with a smile: "You just sit there, this family, the two of us used to take care of it, and we are used to it." ”
The mother-in-law urged behind him: "I said Mr. Wei, can you wait upstairs to talk?" Wife, I still have a big plate of hot teacups in my hand! I can't walk anymore! ”
"Okay, let's go up and talk about it." Wei Xinrong hurriedly quickened his pace.
When they got upstairs, they each brought a cup of tea, and then the mother-in-law put the tray on the table and said, "I'll go upstairs and call Tengteng down!" ”
This was originally a very ordinary sentence, but Yun Yeyao found that both the housekeeper and Ning Jian were obviously stunned when they heard this, and at the same time looked at the old woman who was about to go upstairs.
Yun Yeyao motioned to Xie Yunmeng not to make a sound, and carefully observed the reactions of the three of them, at this time the housekeeper reacted, he called his mother-in-law and said, "Is Tengteng in her own room?" ”
"Yes! I also found out during a meal. The mother-in-law stopped and turned back and said, "Didn't you find out, Mr. Wei?" ”
"What? What did I find? Wei Xinrong's attitude was obviously becoming more and more confused.
The mother-in-law sighed and said, "Mr. Wei, you really don't care about Tengteng, it's the black cat Liuli!" When it's not at home, isn't it always closer to Tengteng! The little guy had been hovering at the door of the room where Teng Teng and I had just now, indicating that he knew who was in the room, and besides, I had heard the bell of the Sunny Doll outside the window of the room. ”
"That sunny day doll is Teng Teng made by herself, she doesn't like rainy days, every time it rains, Teng Teng will have a headache. I made a sunny day doll and hung it there. As long as the doll's bell rings, it proves that the wind is starting to blow outside, and Tengteng will definitely not go out for a walk that day. But today, Mr. Housekeeper, you can see that there is no wind outside, so the sound of the doll on a sunny day can only be that the little girl herself is playing with it. ”
"Oh, no wonder I haven't seen your mother-in-law you are very worried until now," Wei Xinrong suddenly realized: "It turns out that you have already discovered where Tengteng is." Then why didn't you call her out when you were eating barbecue just now? ”
"Oops! Mr. Wei, you are really! Tengteng's character, you don't know, she has been frightened today! Mr. Ning was sitting outside the door of the room at that time, can I go and call her? ”
"Okay, then you go and come back quickly, this weather tea will be cold soon."
After speaking, let her mother-in-law run upstairs by herself, and the glass next to Ning Key also followed with a smoke. Wei Xinrong sat down and began to drink tea, and there seemed to be no flaws in the conversation between him and his mother-in-law, and he was very calm when he spoke. However, Ning Jian kept staring at the two of them, frowning unconsciously.
Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng observed quietly, while sitting down with Wei Xinrong and pretending to drink tea.
Yun Yeyao asked tentatively: "I take the liberty of asking, what frightened the person named Tengteng?" Why hide in your room and don't dare to come out? ”
Unexpectedly, it was not Mr. Butler who answered him, but Ning Key, who was walking in the direction of the table.
Ning Jian said: "I scared her, this little girl is very afraid of strangers, and today is the first time I have come to this house." ”
"Actually, you can't blame Mr. Ning," the housekeeper continued, "Teng Teng's personality is too withdrawn, and it has something to do with the fact that she has lived in this house since she was a child, and in fact the little girl is afraid of any stranger when she sees it. ”
"Oh, I see, so when it gets off, do we need to avoid it?" Yun Ye asked.
Wei Xinrong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, when my mother-in-law and I are around, the little girl's mood will be relatively stable, it's okay." ”
"That's good!" Yun Yeyao looked like he was relieved. Xie Yunmeng drank tea silently all the time without interjecting, and he didn't want to open his mouth on this occasion.
Yun Yeyao's gaze turned to Ning Key and asked, "Mr. Ning, are you also a person who got lost in the forest?" ”
"No, I'm a friend of the host, and I'm here today." Ning Jian replied, because his height was shorter than Yun Yeyao, and after sitting down, he lowered his head and drank tea, and Yun Yeyao couldn't see his expression clearly.
Taking a sip of tea, Ning Jian raised his head and continued, "So you are lost people?" Did you see the large vegetable garden at the back of the house before you entered the house? ”
This sentence was very abrupt, Wei Xinrong didn't understand what Ning Jian wanted to express, and asked: "Mr. Ning shouldn't have been to the back of Laikaweng Villa, why did he know that there was a vegetable garden there?" Except for my mother-in-law, there are not many people in this house who go to the vegetable garden. And from the balcony you can only see the river, and there is no way to see the scenery behind the house! ”
"I once heard Xiaobu talk about it, and he said that the vegetables grown by my mother-in-law are much better than those bought in the vegetable market, so I guess there must be a vegetable garden behind this house." Ning Key explained.
"May I ask if that little step is the owner here?" Yun Yeyao interjected and asked.
Wei Xinrong turned his head and replied, "Yes, his name is Su Bu, but he is not at home at the moment." ”
Ning Jian saw that the topic deviated from what he had just asked, so he asked again: "Did you see that vegetable garden?" Maybe he wanted to know about the vegetable garden that his lover had mentioned, so he insisted on asking.
Yun Yeyao replied, "I see." Then he suddenly stood up and crouched down to go to the puppy on the ground, which was playing with the ball near the window. After Yun Yeyao squatted down, the position of his upper body was just blocked by the table, and Xie Yunmeng was sitting next to Wei Xinrong, so the tall criminal policeman blocked Yun Yeyao's raised side face behind his back.
At this time, Yun Yeyao's expression changed completely, becoming serious and sharp, and he said to Ning Key: "Mr. Ning, there are a lot of vegetables in that vegetable garden, especially the vegetables grown at the edge of the forest look particularly beautiful. ”
"Yes, yes!" Ning Jian was shocked by the inconsistency of his expression and tone, and paused for a second before answering.
Yun Yeyao smiled and said, "Is this puppy raised by the owner here?" I like puppies the most, Mr. Ning, you must know him well! ”
Wei Xinrong leaned over and looked at it, and said to the two people: "This puppy is indeed Xiaobu's pet, but it is afraid of strangers like Tengteng, you should be careful!" Maybe it's impatient, and it bites. ”
"It doesn't matter, you see it's very well-behaved now, doesn't it?" Yun Yeyao's face changed rapidly, and when he saw the housekeeper, he returned to his previous gentle appearance.
Xie Yunmeng seemed to feel that it was a little inappropriate not to speak by himself at this time, so after Mr. Housekeeper sat down, the two of them began to talk one after another, which completely diverted Wei Xinrong's attention.
Yun Yeyao took this opportunity to glance at Ning Key, pointed out the window with his finger, and motioned for Ning Key to find an excuse to go outside with the two of him.
Yun Yeyao's idea was that if Ning Jian knew that Teng Teng was abandoned near the vegetable garden and was not a suspect, then he would definitely do what he said. If Ning Jian didn't know about Teng Teng and was not a suspect, then he wouldn't be able to figure out his intentions and wouldn't do it at all. If Ning Jian knew about Teng Teng, and he was really a criminal suspect, then he would definitely deliberately pretend to be stupid and go around in circles with himself.
As for whether a person's facial expression is fake or real, Yun Yeyao is sure that he can see it nine times out of ten, otherwise he will be an actor for more than ten years.
