Chapter 56 The Theater of the Actors and the Detective Act II: The Peculiar Large Props in the Basement
Xie Yunmeng, who came out of the air duct, had blood on his hands, arms, and even his face, and Yun Yeyao wiped his white (no longer white) casual sports jacket for him.
Xie Yunmeng, who was only wearing a vest, said that he was very distressed, this was a gift that Xiaoxiao bought for him after being transferred for a long time. Thinking of Xiaoxiao, Xie Yunmeng still has a trace of guilt in his heart and can't speak. (For the relationship between Xie Yunmeng and Mei Xiaoxiao, please refer to Luo Que House's murder stage play)
With his small fiery personality, it is not easy to remember him, not to mention that people have carefully selected gifts, so Xie Yunmeng's eyes have been following the clothes in Yun Yeyao's hand.
In the end, Yun Yeyao couldn't stand it anymore, and said angrily: "I miss her so much, after I go back this time, I can quickly find someone to get back together!" ”
Although the words were not light or heavy, and there was a little joking tone in them, Yun Yeyao knew what he felt in his heart, half of the reason why Xie Yunmeng broke up with Xiao Xiao was for him, but because he couldn't break through the shackles and Xiao Zuo's ties, he used Lu Huimei as a 'shield' and deliberately kept his distance from Xie Yunmeng.
Regardless, Yun Yeyao felt that she was not qualified to be angry about it. So he regretted it when he said it. Xie Yunmeng didn't answer, Yun Yeyao knew that he was selectively avoiding, and it was not a matter of a day or two for the criminal police to forget his feelings for Mei Xiaoxiao. But the taste is really uncomfortable.
The two of them were silent until Yun Yeyao wiped Xie Yunmeng's face clean, and then he handed the clothes to Xie Yunmeng and said, "What about Xiao Meng's clothes, why don't you find a place to put them first, and then take them after the incident is over?" ”
“…… Forget it! It can't be washed clean. You just throw it where the murderer won't notice! Xie Yunmeng looked away and continued to ask, "Xiao Yao, where is our next target?" ”
The two men are now back at the basement entrance, hiding near the sink and talking out of sight of outsiders. The people in the living room were listening to Mo Haiyou's reasoning, and they wouldn't come in.
"Now that we're here, let's explore the basement again, I'm concerned about where the murderer's murder weapon and the cotton and corpse pieces were, and if I destroy it, I need to have a tool, right? Most likely the place is the basement. Yun Yeyao said.
"Didn't we find a bag of corpses in the water tank? And the prop corpses you hid that might have information about the killer. Is there anything else? Xie Yunmeng felt that there could be no such thing as corpse parts.
Yun Yeyao shook his head and said, "I guess there is another packet, it is very likely that it has been destroyed along with the previous murder weapon, I want to find them, even if it is a residue, I can deduce something from it." ”
"Whose is it?"
"It's not certain yet, I have to wait until Xiao Zuo has seen it, and my reasoning is partially stuck, and I have to find more evidence to move forward."
"Then let's hurry."
"No, I'll go to the basement alone, Xiaomeng, you still have one more thing to do!"
"What?"
"Go and save Mr. Binbai."
Yun Yeyao's words made Xie Yunmeng very shocked, and immediately retorted: "No, I can't leave your side, what if the murderer is in the basement?" ”
"Xiao Meng, you have to believe my words, since I said that Mr. Bin Bai will be in danger, then it proves that the murderer will definitely go to Mr. Bin Bai, I will take advantage of this moment to search for the evidence that the murderer missed, and you must go to rescue Bin Bai, and only you can do it."
"Tell me the reason for the speculation! Simple! ”
"It is impossible for the murderer to know that Millet is still alive, in his eyes the maid stand-in is dead, and Millet is also dead. Mrs. Lucifer no longer has any helpers, and the murderer wants us to expose Mrs. Lucifer's secrets and then plant the murder suspicion on her head. In this way, Binbai became his last target for elimination. ”
"Bin Bai is also related to the murderer's secret?"
"Absolutely, I'm sure, but I can't tell you the reason yet, Xiao Meng, Bin Bai will definitely find a way to get out of the room, the only thing he can think of is the air duct, and the murderer is more familiar with the air duct here than anyone else, so he will also use the air duct to intercept and wait for the opportunity to kill Bin Bai."
"But he won't kill Bin Bai in the pipe, because he already knows that we are also using the pipe to enter and exit, and he will scare Bin Bai and make him have to stay in the room, and after Xiao Zuo's reasoning is completed, he will find a chance to kill Bin Bai."
"Are you saying that the real murderer is still with Forensic Medicine Mo?!"
"Yes, that's why I said that Xiao Zuo took the biggest risk, all you have to do is to take Mr. Bin Bai before the murderer, and now Xiao Zuo is using reasoning to attract their attention, which is just your chance to act. And I happened to go to the basement to collect the evidence again. ”
"Good! Be careful yourself! ”
After Xie Yunmeng finished speaking, he immediately took action. When the entrance to this place was closed again, Yun Yeyao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he immediately walked down the basement stairs......
He has to hurry up, after Xiao Meng hides Mr. Binbai, he has to appear in front of Xiao Zuo in time to cover for Xiao Meng, and at that time, he and Xiao Zuo can fully grasp the information of the murderer.
——
The basement was not an exaggeration to say it was crowded, and as Yun Yeyao walked down the stairs, he was immediately stopped by a large number of demonic 'corpse pieces', most of which were made of plastic and wax film, and their appearance was very realistic. Yun Yeyao turned on the flashlight and tried her best to fumble with the switch of the fluorescent lamp.
Now it is impossible for the main valve of the power to close suddenly, because the murderer is in the living room, where the light is needed, and the vandalism of the sink has been repaired by Xiaomeng, and the 'emergency' that the murderer expects will not happen again. (They don't know that the water has started leaking again, and it's flooding the upstairs mechanical room.) )
The light switch was about two palms to the shoulders on the left hand side of the basement entrance, and Yun Yeyao had no choice but to endure nausea and step on those 'bloody' demon props to reach the light switch.
Immediately, a whole row of fluorescent lamps came on beside the door. Because the stairs only have bends like the top, there is no need to fear that the lights will be seen by the people upstairs.
After the fluorescent lamp was turned on, Yun Yeyao could clearly see the situation of the first third of the space in the lower room, there were armor dolls like those collected in museums, magic boxes with red velvet curtains or cloth covers in strange colors like large wardrobes, and large piles of small props, etc.
Although the pile is a little messy, the classification is clear, and there is very little dust and cobwebs, indicating that there will be a maid here every once in a while to tidy up.
"Shells, where are the shells?" Yun Yeyao looked down, and he always felt that the reason why those shells moved here from the beach was more than just camouflage bones. Mrs. Lucifer asked the maid to clean up the shells at first, which must have meant something.
It's the hardest thing to find small things in crowded places, not to mention not knowing where they're hidden. Yun Yeyao could only laboriously search through each pile of items.
The height of 1.8 meters is really affecting his actions at the moment, Yun Yeyao bent over, bent his knees, and his whole person was about to bend into an N-shape, so he could barely move.
Flipping through the props in front of him with both hands, simulating the killer's mental activity when he was hiding something, Yun Yeyao kept changing his position until he stopped in front of a large rectangular prop.
The bottom layer of this prop is divided into two parts, probably up to Yun Yeyao's waist, which is made of wood. It is shaped like two wooden square boxes connected together. The frame is vermilion, the surface of the box is dark yellow and slightly reddish, on the two board frames on the front, starting from the prop frame, with wooden lines drawn circle after circle of rectangles from large to small, and finally the smallest rectangle has a crack and two small holes in the middle, arranged like the eyes and mouth of a human face.
Yun Yeyao leaned down and looked inside at the small hole, it was so black that he couldn't see anything, and then he tried it with his fingers, he could insert half of his fingers, and when he took it out, there was a little dust stuck to his fingers, and there were two thin black things. Yun Yeyao couldn't help but look at it a few more times, then carefully took out a handkerchief, wiped his fingers clean, folded it and put it back in his pocket.
Then, he straightened up and inspected the upper level of the prop, which was even more bizarre, extending from the centerline of the lower level. Between the two chests on the lower level are two pieces of wood with bright yellow handles next to each other.
The handle of the wood chip is about ten centimeters higher than the top of the lower box, and then above it is a rectangular cabinet with two pure black door panels, the length of the cabinet is slightly shorter, but the height is about twice that of the lower box, it looks like it is solid wood (of course, these Yun Yeyao don't know much either), all the border lines of the cabinet are white, and there are two pairs of locks on the top and bottom.
The cabinet looked much larger than the box below, and it was not lightweight, but it was not placed directly on top of the box, but on top of the handle of the wood chip, and from a distance it looked like a section had been cut off in the middle of the two parts.
Yun Yeyao tried to open the cabinet, but the lock was tightly locked, and it couldn't be opened at all. If you look closely, these are two ordinary anti-theft locks, and there are many white dots all over the black door panel, and the white dots on each door panel are divided into four squares, which looks quite complicated.
Stretching out his fingers, Yun Yeyao pressed a few times on the white dots, the surface was very smooth, not like wood, and it couldn't be pressed, it was completely an ornament or a fool.
Giving up wasting time on the front, Yun Ye walked around the back of the box to see if he could catch a glimpse of something. On the reverse side is a whole black plate with no small holes, so you can't see anything at all.
The space behind is relatively large, Yun Yeyao squatted down to carefully check the disconnected part of the cabinet and the box, at this time he noticed that the original middle is not without support, but all composed of reflectors, different angles of the mirror refracted the bottom and top of the upper and lower parts, if you don't look carefully, it seems that the bottom of the cabinet and the top layer of the box are only supported by two thin pieces of wood.
And judging by the size of the space composed of the reflector, the upper and lower parts should also be connected, Yun Yeyao roughly measured the width with his hands, assuming that a person is locked inside, if it is a relatively short person, it is okay to lie down on his side.
Then we need to find a little more evidence!" Thinking to himself, Yun Yeyao groped around the cabinet with both hands, maybe he had thought of something, but he hadn't found it yet.
There are a lot of powdery things falling off the white frame of the black cabinet, very rough, some prickly, Yun Yeyao sticks to the palm of his hand to observe carefully, and then goes around to the front to observe those white spots, gradually, he seems to have realized something, wiped the white powder with a handkerchief, Yun Yeyao left the place where he stayed for about five minutes, and continued to walk deep into the basement.
