But the information returned by the police made Mo Haiyou and Yun Yeyao feel completely incredible, and the police officers who had already set off before dawn ran all the industrial parks in the jurisdiction, including the residential areas near several surrounding mountains, but no one knew what the so-called lavender fields and lavender villas were.

Finally, the police officer said on the phone: "We can be sure that there are no lavender fields in this vicinity at all, maybe the villa you are talking about is not in our jurisdiction, or contact other police stations and search the whole city!" ”

"Have you called Officer Xie?" Mo Haiyou asked.

"I've been fighting, and I can't get in touch at all."

After hanging up the phone, Mo Haiyou said to Yun Yeyao: "Even the police station can't investigate the location of the lavender villa, it is possible that it is indeed not in this jurisdiction, but, Xiao Yao, I have worked in the main bureau for so many years, and I have never heard of any lavender villas in the city, if you can't find it in the suburbs, it is estimated that even if you search in the city, it may be useless." ”

"But Xiao Meng made it clear that he saw a large lavender field, and Xiao Meng was the murderer's trap yesterday afternoon, and he went to the inside of the lavender villa before dinner, if the villa was far away, the murderer could not have brought him there so quickly!"

"What are you doing there, please?"

But there was no response to his questioning, and the man in the police uniform remained motionless, and the auxiliary police thought that he was engrossed in collecting evidence there, and that he had not heard himself speak. So he trotted all the way behind the man and asked, "Hey, comrade, what are you doing there?" ”

The auxiliary police is a northerner, his hometown accent is very strong, and his personality also belongs to the kind of straightforward type, while he asked the second sentence, his big hand also patted the man's shoulder, but if he didn't pat, this palm slapped down, the man actually lost his bones, the whole person was paralyzed to the ground, and his face was almost buried in the garbage heap!

Mr. Auxiliary Police himself was also frightened, a vicious murder had just happened, and now suddenly another man fell in front of him, he thought that this was also a dead man, and he took several steps back before standing firmly, staring at the man on the ground in shock, and did not dare to touch it a second time.

It wasn't until the man slowly got up from the ground that the auxiliary police breathed a sigh of relief, but after the fear passed, the anger jumped up. He asked the people on the ground in a thick voice, "What do you want to do standing here?" ”

"I, I found out...... Ahh Ahh!!h As soon as the man opened his mouth and said a few words, suddenly he let out a series of screams, quickly got up from the ground and pushed away the auxiliary police behind him, and rushed towards the entrance of the alley.

The auxiliary police didn't react at all, he would come to such a play, and after being stunned for two seconds, he turned around and chased after him, and shouted loudly: "Hey!! You stop me!! Who the hell are you!! Hurry up and stop!! ”

But by this time, the man was about to run to the corner, and when he was out of breath and chased to the mouth of the alley, and then looked to both sides, he couldn't even see the man's shadow at all.

Realizing that something was wrong, the auxiliary police hurriedly turned around and rang the doorbell at the gate of Wu Weiyun's house, he rang the doorbell desperately, and kept shouting: "Officer Mi!" Officer Mi! Are you in there? ”

Wu Weiyun asked, "Officer Mi, could it be your colleague who came over?" ”

The corpse parts that were sent by courier were still in the corner of Wu Weiyun's yard at the moment, and he was really afraid of seeing those things again, so he hoped that the people from the police station would come and take the corpses away as soon as possible.

"Probably not, it sounds like the voice of an auxiliary policeman, he probably came back to look for this thing." Mi Xiaodong picked up the walkie-talkie on the table and said that he found this thing when he first came in, and guessed that the auxiliary police would definitely come back to find it.

The two of them estimated that someone would knock on the door soon, and Mi Xiaodong had already stood up and was about to send the walkie-talkie to the auxiliary police outside the door, but he didn't expect to wait for a terrible scream, and the doorbell and shouts that were like hanging up.

Mi Xiaodong realized that it was not good, and immediately took care that Wu Weiyun must not leave the house, and he himself quickly rushed out of the door. Wu Weiyun was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, he closed his eyes and shrunk into his chair tremblingly, praying in his heart that there would be no more terrifying incidents outside the door.

In less than five seconds, Mi Xiaodong pushed open the door and rushed out, the wooden door kept shaking because he was too strong, hitting the door frame with a clanging sound.

Before Mi Xiaodong could gain a firm foothold, he asked the frightened auxiliary police, "What happened?" ”

"That...... That one...... Trash can! The auxiliary police officer kept swallowing his saliva and stammered nervously, and it took him a while to control his emotions before he could finish speaking.

"I, I saw a man standing in front of a trash can, wearing a police uniform, and I wanted to go over and ask him what the hell was he doing? But...... But I didn't expect to just pat him on the shoulder, and he fell to the ground. When the auxiliary police spoke, he also stretched out his palm in front of Mi Xiaodong and gestured, as if to prove that he had really photographed someone.

He continued: "It's horrible! I thought I had met another dead man, but as soon as that person fell, he let out a series of screams, and then ran out of the alley while I didn't notice how to get up, and I couldn't catch up with him! ”

"What the hell did he do in front of the trash can?" Mi Xiaodong asked urgently.

"No, I don't know! I only saw him standing there with his back to me, nothing else was noticed. On the other side, Yun Yeyao, due to his worry about Xie Yunmeng, his analysis and judgment were gradually skewed. If he could think about it, maybe he would be able to find a better solution to the dilemma in front of him.

But now we can't control their thinking, so we can only let them act according to their own ideas, and our eyes have shifted to the situation that Xie Yunmeng encountered in the Lavender Villa on the first night.

——

Things seemed to be going surprisingly well, and the shadow was back in the house, and now that he was safe, the people upstairs were probably asleep, for before he left the room, the second floor was quiet, and not a sound was made. Even if someone hasn't fallen asleep, it's impossible to leave the room at this time.

The Shadow seemed to be a little too relaxed, and he thought that no one would be able to discover his crime, because now he felt completely that the deception and disguise he had set up was the most ingenious plan in the world, and no one could see through it. This self-confidence comes not only from the laissez-faire of the people around him for so many years, but also from the cover that the lavender fields have brought him.

Yes, he has been planning, has been trying to maintain the lavender fields and villas from anyone. Although he can't dominate everything on the surface, secretly, he is the most shrewd, and no one can be his opponent.

Self-confidence makes people swell, but when there is a flaw in the middle, it will make people really frightened, just like a slight glance when a black shadow passes by the window, the shock brought to him by the tall figure almost made him scream, he didn't expect that Mr. Criminal Police would act so fast!

Instead of searching in the lavender fields, the shadow saw the shoe he was holding in his hand, which was likely to reveal his secret, and Mr. Detective was standing on the edge of the windowsill, and the shadow was only a few inches away from him.

If it weren't for the fact that the detective was looking down for a suitable place to bury his shoes, the black shadow would have been discovered by him a long time ago. Aware of the danger, the shadow quickly retreated behind the window frame, and instead of moving forward, he chose to retreat to the window frame near the door of the living room. From this point, it can be seen that the black shadow has a very strong on-the-spot reaction ability and flexible thinking.

Xie Yunmeng observed the doorknob on the outer edge of the door at the top of the staircase, the hostess here planted a large field of lavender flowers, if the black shadow just now entered the house directly from the lavender flower field, then his hands and body would definitely be stained with lavender flower tidbits, these white things like cotton wool, it is difficult to clean up.

In particular, the tidbits that fall off during the friction between the clothes and the flowers will cling to the fabric. When you open the door, there will be more or less white tidbits glued to the handle or door frame, the lilac door is in the daytime, if it is glued to white, it is indeed not easy to see clearly, but now it is night, the color will be a little darker than the day, and there is no light in the corridor, Xie Yunmeng turned on the small flashlight on his keychain, and the dim flashlight light made him see the white dots at once.

So just by looking at which door has tidbits on it, you can preliminarily determine which door the black shadow going upstairs has entered. The reason why I say preliminary judgment here is that there are a number of other factors that need to be taken into account in this matter.

For example, is the person who goes upstairs just finished doing housework? Fu blamed his room in the first room on the left hand side of the Westinghouse corridor, although he said at dinner that he would live in the East House today, but now it was very late, he may be tired of doing housework, and he didn't want to go back to the East House, thinking that there was something to do tomorrow, and it was not impossible to go back to his room to sleep.

Xie Yunmeng had been on the periphery just now, and he hadn't entered the Westinghouse living room to check first, so had Fu Zhi been working in the living room? He had no way of judging that.

However, if Fu Zhi really returned to his room to rest, and on the premise that he didn't do any ulterior acts, Xie Yunmeng thought that he was unlikely to be the black shadow just now, because looking at the speed of the black shadow passing through the window, it was certain that he was running, and a man who was tired all day and was about to go back to his room to rest, was it necessary to be in such a hurry?

Based on this, Xie Yunmeng thought that unless Fu Zhi was using housework as an excuse, he wanted to wait for everyone to fall asleep and then go upstairs to kill people, otherwise, his possibility was very small.

As for other factors, there is no need to dwell on them one by one at this moment, as long as we follow Mr. Detective's actions, we will know bit by bit what he thinks!

That's what the black shadow wants to do, tomorrow morning, he will perfectly appear as another person, and the current identity can be hidden through that lovely and simple woman, didn't that woman say that she could stay in the lavender villa for a day and a night? Then use this day and night to make your current identity a murderer, and completely clear the suspicion of another identity.

When these are done, in the last day and night, he will be able to complete all his plans unknowingly, and he can also ask the criminal police for an explanation in the face of a victim to ensure his safety. As for who will survive before the last moment, he or Mr. Detective? Will everything go as smoothly as you want it to? Hei Ying felt that he didn't need to think about it at all, because he thought that without Yun Yeyao and Mo Haiyou, it would be absolutely impossible for that criminal police officer to debunk his plan.

The silence and loneliness in the room always brought sleepiness, and when the black shadow felt that his eyelids were about to fight, he raised his arms and stretched out, and the furniture around him was high and covered with black cloth. It was enough to block his whole body, and the windows and doors at the front and back of the room were closed, and even the curtains were closed, only a small gap in the middle of the curtain allowed the moonlight outside to peek a little into the scene inside.

——

Xie Yunmeng moved the gas stove to the side, and the whole person stood on top of the glass platform, his target was the smoke exhaust pipe of the range hood, the thick plastic pipe led all the way to the outdoors, after removing the pipe, there was a round hole left in the wall, this hole could barely allow Mr. Criminal Police's tall body to pass through, as long as he stretched out his two arms first, and then shrunk his shoulders hard.

When he goes outdoors like this, his upper body can't avoid getting oil stains no matter what, so Xie Yunmeng took off his suit jacket and hid it in the cabinet under the glass table in the kitchen, no one would enter the kitchen in the middle of the night anyway, as long as he took the suit away before the wee hours of the morning, he wouldn't be discovered by anyone.

Mr. Criminal Police took off his coat, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and his upper body struggled to drill out of the hole left by the smoke pipe, after all, he was a force type, and he couldn't compare with Luo Yifan's flexible dancer, and the joints and bones on his body couldn't be folded to the maximum.

There was another reason why he left his coat, that is, he didn't have a change of clothes like the others, Xie Yunmeng was brought to the lavender villa by accident, so if he soiled the coat, the next day others might find out what he had touched, arousing their suspicions. But it doesn't matter if the shirt gets dirty, as long as you put on the jacket and roll the sleeves a little in, you won't see the oil.

The room corresponding to the other windows, let's wait a minute, now let's talk about the location of the space that Xie Yunmeng wants to enter in front of him, in fact, if Mr. Criminal Police goes out from the kitchen window, although he can easily climb from the downspout to the second floor, the actual benefits are much smaller than the current way of action. Because if you want to peek into each room alternately from the walls on the second floor, you have to make a large circle around the entire back half of the Westinghouse, which is time-consuming and laborious.

The smoke exhaust pipe above the range hood goes out, it is completely different, the location of the gas stove is on the inside of the south wall of the kitchen, and the gap of the smoke exhaust pipe is above the same position, which is also facing the south side. As I said before, Xie Yunmeng had carefully observed the structure of the outer part of the house before entering the Westinghouse in the middle of the night, and he found that there was a small skylight on the wall of the house, and the location of the skylight was under the eaves, at the top of the southeast wall, near the southwest corner of the house.

The outer pipe of the range hood is divided into two sections, one section is connected to the inside of the house through the hole in the wall, and the other is connected to the chimney on the roof of the house.

To be sure, the space inside the skylight is the hollow above the triangular roof beams, and it is very hidden from the movement in this place, which is unlikely to be discovered. Want to know what everyone is doing in the room without even noticing? It's safer and more convenient to hide here than it is to hide outside any window.

Put your hands on the edge of the skylight, and it is not difficult to enter it, Xie Yunmeng observed the surroundings for a while, and the person quickly got in. As soon as his hands touched the thick beams, he began to search for the correct position in every room on the second floor. The beams are close to the floor of the roof, and the bottom plate is made of long wooden planks with wooden bolts and nails in the middle, and the dusty surface can be easily touched by reaching out from the beam.

Xie Yunmeng recalled the appearance of the interior of the house, in order to determine which area he had explored, from the stairs to the corridor on the second floor, he needed to turn around a platform, and the width of this platform was probably enough for two people to walk side by side. Xie Yunmeng moved forward a little along the beam, and after freeing up about this distance, he used his hand to draw the width of the corridor on the second floor in the center of the roof, and then the rest of the part was all the roof of the guest room.

The diligent life did not bring much benefit to Fu Zhi, but made his troubles pile after pile, especially An Lingxiang, who had an eccentric temper, and now she was like a burden on Fu Zhi's back, unable to give it up, and there was no way to give it more love. Fu is just submissive.

Thinking about it, the man walked upstairs to the West House, he looked through the open door, and the rest of the people were still playing cards in the lavender field, and no one looked in the direction of him, and the left Yong Poppy did not go directly to the place where he was playing, I don't know what direction he went, and he was completely out of sight.

'When did this obese man's footsteps become so fast?' Fu Zhi thought to himself in his heart. He quickly forgot about the problem and concentrated on his own work. I hope that more customers will come to order lavender bouquets every day, and I will find a way to make lavender into sachets and sell them out as soon as possible." ’

This is a small expectation of Fu Zhi's lavender field in front of the villa, perhaps hoping to sell the thriving lavender flowers on hand as soon as possible in order to make more money.

The small episode passed quickly, and those people seemed to be happy, Fu Zhi's inadvertent glance not only saw the familiar person, but also included one of the tall and straight strange backs into the line of sight, he didn't care, just like the question of Yong Poppy, Fu Zhi quickly put it behind.

Returning to the corridor on the second floor again, Fu Zhi gently pushed his door with his hand, the door was still locked, Xiangxiang should not have come to him after the second quarrel, after standing in place and thinking for a while, Fu Zhi did not choose to enter the room, but walked towards the warehouse at the bottom of the corridor.

What's in the warehouse in the last room on the right-hand side? No one in this family knows better than him now, and there will be none in the future, because Fu Zhi is destined to spend his life in this lavender villa, at least he himself thinks so, and he is sure of it.

The rag in his hand was still dripping, and Fu Zhi used his other hand to fumble for the key in his pants pocket, but after touching for a long time, he didn't take out the single small key. In order to distinguish the key of the warehouse door from the key on the other doors, Fu Zhi specially removed it from the key ring and put it in another pocket alone, but now the small key was missing, and he did not know when it was missing, so he showed a very puzzled look.

For Yun Yeyao, Mr. Criminal Police is his weakness, and if he can't be sure that he is safe, it will be difficult for him to devote himself to the analysis and reasoning of the case in the future.

Just when Yun Yeyao was thinking about it, the mobile phone rang at the right time, and when Mr. Actor saw the mobile phone screen, a coincidence to the point of incredibleness arose spontaneously in his heart, the call was actually from Luo Yifan, and he didn't know what Luo Yifan wanted to find him, Mr. Actor reached out and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Xiao Yao, I haven't been in touch for a long time, are you okay?" Luo Yifan's voice came from inside the earpiece, as if he was very relaxed.

"Very good, Yifan, why did you think to call me? Haven't had a show lately? ”

"Recently, I have been relatively free, and I happened to come to S City to meet an old friend, and you also know Jiang Xinglong, who has just been released from prison." Luo Yifan said.

"Ahh Mr. Jiang hasn't seen him in many years! Luo Yifan's words evoked Yun Yeyao's memories of the past, Jiang Xinglong is a good man with dedication, and his career has developed smoothly, but unfortunately everything has changed after squatting in prison all these years.

The two of them chatted a few words, Yun Yeyao wanted to hang up the phone, he guessed that Luo Yifan called to tell him about Jiang Xinglong's release from prison, but now Mr. Actor has no heart to think about others at all, but he didn't expect Luo Yifan to suddenly change the conversation and say to him: "Are there any strange cases in the police station recently?" ”

"Strange case? Why do you ask that? Yun Yeyao sensed that there was something unusual in Luo Yifan's tone, so his expression gradually became serious.

Of course, Luo Yifan couldn't see the change in his expression, and it was impossible to know how sensitive Mr. Actor's state of mind was at the moment, so he continued: "I heard that a joint venture in the suburbs was sued by an in-service employee, saying that it was because of the radiation caused by substandard products that caused the employee to suffer from cancer, is there such a case?" ”

"Xiao Meng has never mentioned it to me, what is going on?" Yun Ye asked.

"I don't know exactly what happened, but one of the strange things about this incident is that although the employee sued the company, he couldn't find where he worked. He said that he had been working in the factory for more than a year, and for more than a year, the person in charge of the factory only arranged for them to work the night shift, and not only did the location of the factory be kept strictly secret to them, but also there would be a fully enclosed factory car to pick them up and drop off every day, and they didn't know where they had gone at all. ”

The dark-skinned girl, he is really grateful for her affection, but he can't, and can't get out of the shackles brought by the previous relationship, so he hopes that the kind 'elk' standing between the mountains can find a home that truly belongs to her, instead of being entangled with someone who doesn't even know where the future is.

——

All the body parts have been taken away by the coroner, and Mi Xiaodong can finally take a breath and continue to have a good chat with Mr. Wu Weiyun, his assistant did not get more new information from the neighbors, so the target can only focus on Wu Weiyun for the time being.

Back in the old house like a courtyard, Mi Xiaodong just walked into the living room and saw the old actor standing in front of his daughter's urn thinking about his thoughts, Mi Xiaodong said hello casually, and when the other party turned around, he asked: "Mr. Wu, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine, just when I see a dead person, I remember what my daughter looked like when she died." Wu Weiyun's eyes were full of tears, and his tone was full of sadness.

Mi Xiaodong said to him: "If your body allows, I would like to talk a little more about what happened just now." ”

"It's okay, let's sit down and move on." Wu Weiyun looked much more indifferent than just now, he walked back slowly, and sat in the back chair where he used to sit, the leather covers on the backrest and armrests were worn out, and the back of the chair looked mottled, and it should have not been replaced for decades.

From this point, it can be seen that Wu Weiyun is a nostalgic person, and after sitting down, Mi Xiaodong asked him: "Can you tell me about what happened in the past?" How did your daughter's car accident end up being resolved? ”

“…… Both the perpetrator of the accident and the witnesses at the time are missing, what else can be done? Wu Weiyun said in frustration: "I haven't gotten the answer to that incident until now, my daughter is so kind, she shouldn't have suffered such a thing at all." ”

"Did your daughter die on the spot?"

"No, when passers-by found her, she was still alive, she was dead on the way to the hospital."

"And what about the witnesses? Why do witnesses also go missing? ”

"The person who witnessed the car accident was my daughter's boyfriend, I only learned about this incident when I found the young man's parents, I didn't know that my daughter had a boyfriend before, and the reason for his disappearance is also different, some people in the society suspect that she may have murdered my daughter with the perpetrator, but the young man's parents told me that he was proposing to my daughter before the car accident, and after the car accident, he was in order to avenge the perpetrator, so he disappeared with him."

This last piece of information is precisely the most critical piece of information, because the studio left by Luo Lingling is where Liu Yunzhao lived before his death, and the painter who used Luo Lingling's house is Liu Yunzhao's friend, so when he took this step, Mi Xiaodong's direction of action began to overlap with Mo Haiyou. And the connection between the courier package murder and the lavender villa murder is getting closer and closer.

——

One night before Liu Yunzhao's death, a beautiful elderly woman opened a room at the bottom of the second floor of an apartment building, and although he hadn't been here for decades, he was still familiar with the key and the key was very useful.

After entering the room, she did not rummage around, but leisurely found a relatively clean position, as if she had made an appointment with someone to meet here, sat down and began to wait, she rubbed the strap of the small leather bag in her hand from time to time, and her eyes kept looking at the hidden door.

Around his body, there were many oil paintings, all of which depicted the same lavender field and the back of the same girl, and there was an indescribable eerie feeling in the dim light of the night.

The silhouette of the girl's back, even the color and length of her hair, the shape of her ears, and the pearl earrings hanging from her ears are all exactly the same. There is also a field of deep purple lavender, each oil painting is painted at the same angle, the painter seems to be reluctant to change the direction he is facing, the picture is heavily biased to the right, the lavender branches in the distance appear blurred, and the near lavender underneath, all painted with the tips of a pair of blue leather shoes. ”

The paintings did not attract the attention of the older woman, who was still attentive to the movement outside the door. As the minutes passed, the patience of the elderly woman was losing little by little, and after two hours, she began to fidget, and no longer cautiously remained completely silent, but from time to time she stood up and walked a few steps around the room, or opened the door to peek out.

The breeze blowing in from the window ruffled the gray hair on her forehead and blurred the outline of her features, and the old woman's wait seemed to be endless, and the room could only hear the slight footsteps of her and the movement of the hands of the wall clock hanging on the wall.

"I've lived in China for a long time, and I regretted coming back ten years ago, but I didn't live in S City, and I said I didn't want to disturb anyone's life because of me. In addition to you, I have another person I must meet, he is the person I knew before your father, and I failed him so deeply back then, so I must now come back to make amends. ”

"He's the only person you've ever loved, right?" The man suddenly interjected.

This question made Luo Lingling stunned for a few seconds, but now she didn't intend to deny anything, silence represented affirmation, so the man didn't continue to ask, but waited for Luo Lingling's next words.

Luo Lingling continued: "I have a daughter between me and him, this daughter is the person I have cared about the most for decades, and the only reason why I returned to China without hesitation, I hope to be able to recognize my daughter before my life is over." ”

Hearing Luo Lingling's words, the man lowered his head, there seemed to be something crystal dripping down in his eyes, and after a while, the man wiped his cheek with his hand and said to Luo Lingling: "Aunt Luo, there are some things I don't know if I should tell you, do you know a person named Xu Qing?" ”

"Yes! He's a friend of mine, why did you mention him? Luo Lingling felt very strange, Xu Qing was someone she met after returning to China, although they didn't meet often, but this young man gave her a good impression, and during this time, Luo Lingling was matching his relationship with a young girl. There is some personal privacy involved in this matter, so it is inconvenient for Luo Lingling to tell the man in front of her.

But what the man said next made Luo Lingling feel that the world was about to collapse at this moment, and the indescribable sadness made the old woman slump in the chair all of a sudden, with old tears on her beautiful face, completely unable to control her emotions, because her daughter, who had been missing for nearly twenty years, had died in a car accident.

The man waited, waiting for Luo Lingling's sadness to pass, it was like waiting for a sudden storm to stop, there was no way to urge, there was no way to be anxious, he could only hope that time could pass slowly and the storm could disappear faster.

Finally, before the man was about to lose his patience, Luo Lingling's mood finally stabilized, the man stood up, put on his helmet again, and the last thing he said before leaving the apartment was: "If you want to know more about the truth, go find Xu Qing!" He'll tell you. ”

"Could it be dug up in a lavender field?"

The police also denied the claim of lavender flower fields, first because there were no lavender fields in the vicinity, and secondly, planting large areas of lavender would definitely leave many broken petals and tidbits on the soil. But now they saw a few sparse weeds on the surface of the clods of dirt, and they couldn't tell what had been planted before. ”

But Yun Yeyao still refused to give up on his thoughts, and he asked again: "Could it be that someone abandoned these earth blocks before?" How about cleaning up the plants on top and the roots on the bottom? ”

The officer said: "Even if it is cleaned, it is impossible to leave no traces at all, and the broken petals will stick to the dirt, which is like dust sticking to black clothes, how can it be cleaned up completely?" ”

Yun Yeyao didn't have a better explanation for this, so he didn't say anything, just squatted there and studied these clods of dirt repeatedly, and put them neatly one by one, Yun Yeyao always felt that something was wrong with the clods of dirt, but he couldn't say why.

The gray brain cells in his brain were moving rapidly, trying to think of a plausible explanation, and the huge clumps of dirt in his hands, many of which had been put together, looked like a whole field. Yun Yeyao asked the police officer and said, "Can you help me find a few migrant workers from the neighborhood, I have something to ask them to help." ”

"That's fine, I'll look for it now." After the police officer who had just spoken volunteered to answer, he stood up and left the scene in a hurry.

After a while, he came over with a few middle-aged peasants dressed plainly, and Yun Yeyao asked them to help clean up all the clods in the garbage, although some of the edges were broken, but most of them were still very intact, and then, Yun Yeyao asked the peasants to use a sledgehammer to smash all the clods of dirt.

His action made the few police officers who came with him a little confused, but they did not stop the peasants' actions, they just squatted to the side and watched carefully, and some even reached out to help, or gave the first glass of water to the peasants in labor or something? There are water cups filled with water and disposable cups by police officers in the police car.

As the amount of dirt on the ground increases, the plastic mesh in the middle of the block and the plastic bracket for fixing it are gradually revealed, which can ensure that the surrounding soil does not break and deform easily.

After all the earth blocks were smashed and Yun Yeyao thanked the peasants and sent them away, he immediately began to carefully observe the plastic nets and scaffolds one by one, he looked very carefully, not letting go of the slightest nook and cranny, groping on them for small things. More than half an hour later, at Yun Yeyao's feet, a small pile of purple and white mixed things piled up.

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?" ”

"This is no problem, it will be delivered in the afternoon. We will also arrange a police officer on our side to investigate the artist, and if the phone number of the head is connected, you will ask him to contact me immediately. ”

"Well, don't worry."

Before hanging up the phone, Mi Xiaodong lowered his voice and asked again: "Is the head really okay?" ”

For his unease, Yun Yeyao could only give a two-sided answer again, although he couldn't tell the truth, but Yun Yeyao didn't want Xie Yunmeng's good brother to think that he was cheating him.

——

The layout of the apartment is actually similar to what Mi Xiaodong thought, many of the painter's rooms are poorly furnished, and the table on the floor is full of paintbrushes and frames.

But to his surprise, the oil paintings he saw were all exactly the same, depicting lavender fields. Mi Xiaodong picked up a painting, looked at it carefully, and asked his assistant: "Do you think there will be any hidden meaning in these paintings?" ”

"Probably not, maybe this painter is particularly fond of lavender flower fields, so he painted so many lavender, and most of the people who do this kind of work are more paranoid, just like some people only paint animals, and some people only flower plants."

There was some truth in the assistant's words, but Mi Xiaodong still felt that something was strange, and he asked, "Do we have a lavender field in this place?" ”

Not now, but I remember that there used to be a lavender garden in the city that was not very big, just in the middle of the triangle of the road, and there were several neighborhoods on the side, Officer Mi, do you remember a car accident in a lavender field a few years ago? “

"Lavender Flower Field Car Accident? I don't remember, tell me about the situation," Mi Xiaodong turned his head to look at his assistant and asked with interest.

The assistant asked him rhetorically: "Could it be that you talked to Wu Weiyun for so long yesterday and didn't ask him about the past?" The deceased in the car accident was Wu Weiyun's daughter, and her daughter's boyfriend was also at the scene of the car accident at the time, and later disappeared with the perpetrator, and has not been found until now. ”

"The suspect must have secretly hid after the police officers arrived and evacuated all the irrelevant people in the vicinity. Then, he had been waiting for Xiao Meng to take the bait. In order for Xiao Meng to find the right position smoothly, he also arranged for the so-called Wen Yuan to attract Xiao Meng's attention, I am sure that Wen Yuan's identity is fake, so next, we must find this woman to do it! ”

"She's definitely a woman out of sight of us, and it's possible that she's just been hired temporarily by the suspect. Wen Yuan ran behind the garbage heap at that time, just to attract Xiao Meng to follow, she didn't have to continue to escape, because the suspect had already dug a hiding place for her in the garbage heap, and it was not a problem to hide a few people in the garbage heap here. ”

"As long as you dig a big hole in the surface beforehand and fix it with something like a discarded bracket or an abandoned tent, these things are very easy to dispose of and just let the garbage collectors take them away. After the large hole is secured, the garbage is dumped on the surface and the entrance is closed. ”

"When you use it, as long as you know where the entrance is, you can dig up the garbage on the surface directly, drill into it and bury it, and this process will not take two or three minutes. I guess when Wen Yuan was hiding, the murderer had already dug the hole for her in advance, and after she hid, she just had to let the garbage on top of the garbage heap slide down. Although it can be uncomfortable and smelly, it is definitely a method of hiding that is not easy to detect. ”

"Xiao Meng didn't pick up the garbage heap at that time, and lifted the plastic plates on the surface, so it was impossible for him to find the person who left the so-called clues on the garbage heap, and the suspect used a part of his body to attract Xiao Meng's attention and ignited the explosives in the drink bottle."

Then he was responsible for taking Xiao Meng away, and the woman who played Wen Yuan was responsible for cleaning up everything in the garbage dump that could leave a handle for the police, so that the garbage pile would roughly return to its original appearance. As long as these two people don't have a habit of cleanliness, the work I just said can definitely be done. ”

Of course, the police needed evidence to corroborate Yun Yeyao's statement, so after they sent Yun Yeyao back to Mo Haiyou, they immediately returned to the scene with investigation tools to collect evidence. For example, in the hiding place of the suspect pointed out by Yun Yeyao, whether there is hair or dander on someone's body, these things are collected back to the police station, and after testing, they may become a key clue to find out the identity of the suspect.

Therefore, after another investigation around the warehouse, Yun Yeyao not only brought back evidence of the real existence of the Lavender Villa, but also found clues that may reveal the identity of the murderer.

But she didn't actually do anything, she just painted a makeup according to the man's intentions and deceived a person. As for whether that person was deceived? The woman's heart has not been figured out until now.

Thinking of her previous routine every day, the need to wear heavy makeup every day, and those feelings that had already been numb, the woman began to regret it, why didn't she think carefully about the consequences before agreeing to Liu Yunzhao?

Could it be that just because the two have known each other for several years and are neighbors who look down and don't look up, she trusts others so easily? Or just because she wants to challenge her acting skills and needs to live on her living expenses, she can do anything? The woman constantly questioned her actions and constantly warned herself that it was too late. Stress and irritability fill a woman's heart.

Although the woman is not a person who is proficient in legal knowledge, but because of her years of study, she cannot be regarded as a legal illiterate, and for half a day, the woman sat in front of the window, thinking about what she should do next, until the sun went down and another person knocked on her door......

——

Mo Hai leaned his back against the door of the police car, waiting for Yun Yeyao, he had already collected all the evidence that should be collected at Liu Yun's house. There was nothing more for them to refer to, Mo Haiyou hoped that Yun Yeyao could bring him some surprises.

The autopsy that will be conducted in the afternoon, there are some places that he has not figured out, Yun Yeyao thinks that Liu Yun has clues that can expose the murderer, but Mo Haiyou is not completely sure what Yun Yeyao's final thoughts are? Many times, Yun Yeyao's thoughts are much more emotional than his, and his too rational thinking restricts Mo Haiyou from broadening his imagination, which is also one of his few flaws.

Waiting silently, the other police officers had already left, Mo Haiyou felt that there was no need to let them wait with him, just come and drive by himself after Yun Yeyao came back later. He asked his assistants to take the collected evidence back to the police station for laboratory comparison, so that the working hours would not be delayed.

At less than 12 o'clock in the afternoon, a police car sent Yun Yeyao back to Mo Haiyou, and after the police car left, Mo Haiyou asked Yun Yeyao: "Did you find anything?" ”

"There are a lot of things, Xiao Zuo, let's get into the car first." Yun Yeyao replied, opened the co-pilot's door, and Mo Haiyou took a detour to the driver's door, and the two of them got into the car one after the other.

"But that's not the key question, the key question is where this worker can't find his place of work at all? He himself admits that he has been working in the factory for more than a year, and usually goes to work in fully enclosed factory cars, and the factory only arranges them to work night shifts. The company denied it entirely, saying that there was no mystery about the new factory. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that the person in charge of a certain company had leaked his mouth and told the police that the new factory was near the cemetery, I am afraid that the workers would still not have been able to collect any evidence for the current incident."

"I think the incident Luo Yifan said has a lot to do with the lavender villa, our previous search direction was completely wrong, it was Xiao Meng who said a large lavender field, which confused our eyes, in fact, I should have thought a long time ago that it is impossible for ordinary people to build a villa behind the mountain, and go there to plant lavender!"

"Since the Luoquewu incident, behind this mountain, except for a few cemeteries left in the past, even the original homes have been demolished. If the villa was really built in such a remote place, it must have something to do with something unspeakable. Moreover, the way to the villa must not be easy to be discovered, otherwise the murderer would not be so relieved and boldly took Xiao Meng directly into the villa.

"And then?" Mo Haiyou asked, "Have you asked Luo Yifan to find the lavender villa?"

"I didn't tell Luo Yifan about the existence of Lavender Villa, and he just called me to learn about the investigation of the incident Jiang Xinglong said. He didn't even tell me that Jiang Xinglong said it. He only mentioned the lawyer who took over the case. It is related to Jiang Xinglong, but it is just my own speculation, according to Luo Yifan's character, if it wasn't for Jiang Xinglong, he would not have taken the initiative to find the location of the factory. ”

Luo Yifan didn't hide his thoughts, he said that he wanted to go to the suburbs to take a look and help find clues. So I told him that the place he was looking for might be with a large field of lavender flowers, and asked him to pay attention to it......" Yun Yeyao said this, lowered his head and didn't say any more, he knew the following, Mo Haiyou could guess it himself.

Mo Haiyou didn't continue to ask, he thought about it for a while, took out the mobile phone in his pocket, and called the person in charge of the task force in the police station, which meant very simply, to call up all the files of the dispute case that occurred in the suburban factory, and then send a police officer to comprehensively investigate the factory of that enterprise.

Mo Haiyou explained in detail the analysis and judgment of himself and Yun Yeyao on the phone, and he thought that the worker who sued the company may not be lying, and this incident may be related to the lavender villa murder. The person in charge of the task force attached great importance to this clue and promised on the phone that an investigation would be launched immediately.

When Luo Yifan left the meeting place, it was not yet dark, and he immediately set off for Liu Yunzhao's apartment, hoping to get there before dinner, and he had a guess that he might not really see Liu Yunzhao, nor the painter with whom Liu Yunzhao lived.

Why did Yun Yeyao deliberately mention these two people? And Liu Yunzhao's sister Liu Yun? Luo Yifan speculated that maybe they were the victims in the incident. If Luo Yifan confirmed that the house was empty when he got there, then his guess could be half confirmed. In other words, there is a high probability that there has been a homicide over there.

If you can meet the person concerned, then it is natural to inquire carefully. Luo Yifan is still very skilled in the skill of dealing with strangers to find out secrets. Of course, the neighbors will not bother, anyway, Luo Yifan is approaching the core of the incident little by little, and he may be faster than Yun Yeyao and Mi Xiaodong, because Luo Yifan will not play cards according to the routine.

On the second evening after the murder in Lavender Villa, four or five hours after Mi Xiaodong left Liu Yunzhao's apartment, Luo Yifan's car stopped in front of the dilapidated community, and he found a vacant seat at random and parked the car inside.

The car was rented, and since he was here to investigate the case, Luo Yifan would not drive his own car, so he went to the car rental company to rent an inconspicuous car, and also bought a set of overalls at a roadside stall and put it on the outside of his brand-name shirt.

According to the house number given to him by the lawyer, Luo Yifan quickly found the house he was looking for, walked into the damp cement floor, and there happened to be an old woman going out to take out the garbage, Luo Yifan smiled and greeted with thunder: "Auntie, is there a painter living on the second floor here?" ”

The old woman looked at him vigilantly, as if she wanted to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, an old man's irritable voice came from a certain room on the first floor: "Hurry up and come back after throwing away the garbage, don't talk nonsense, other people's affairs have nothing to do with you!" After saying that, there was also the sound of a cane hitting the ground in the room, as if the old man inside was angry.

The old woman had no choice but to awkwardly bypass Luo Yifan and walk in the direction of the large trash can outside. Luo Yifan didn't mind, when he passed by the corner on the first floor, he glanced into the door where he had just spoken, an old man was sitting in a wheelchair, his legs were covered with a wide towel, he should be a disabled person, the old man's eyes were fixed on the TV, and he didn't see Luo Yifan walking by.

However, Luo Yifan could not tell the girl these words, because in addition to appreciation, he also held a suspicion, and he saw the fear that always remained in the girl's eyes.

What was the sound you heard outside the door? The girl must have been questioned by the police, and in the past two days, if she had nothing to do with the murder, she should have heard a knock on the door again.

But it is not excluded that the girl's timidity is very small, and she will panic when she sees the criminal police, so Luo Yifan decided not to ask her about Liu Yunzhao for the time being, and make some small temptations first.

Luo Yifan said: "I came here to find someone, I have a friend who commissioned a painter here to paint a painting, but the deposit was paid, but the painting was not delivered for many days, my friend was very busy, I happened to come to S City to do business, so he entrusted me to come over to help him find it, do you know which apartment the painter lives in?" ”

"There used to be a painter here, but he moved out a few months ago, and I don't know where he lives now." The girl seemed to be calm on the surface, and her voice was not abnormal, but Luo Yifan found that her hand hidden in her sleeve was trembling slightly.

Luo Yifan continued to ask quietly: "Which apartment building did the painter live in before?" Can you point me to it? ”

The girl's eyes wandered a little, and she replied to Luo Yifan: "It's the first room at the entrance of the corridor, and someone has moved in now, so I can't help you ask." ”

As soon as he heard her answer like this, Luo Yifan's pupils immediately became gloomy, but his face and the smile on the corner of his mouth still did not change, the girl's words had already revealed her secret, and she must be involved in Liu Yunzhao's case.

But Luo Yifan feels that this girl may not be an actual participant in the case, but a person who has been deceived and used. Because from the time Luo Yifan walked into the house to the present, the fear and hesitation exuded by the girl have never stopped.

Luo Yifan knew that he was not afraid of himself, but afraid of the police who had come before, which showed that after the police came, she realized that what she did involved a crime, so she stayed alone in the house and was upset.

"I want to know more about that painter, does he have a friend named Liu Yunzhao who also lives here?" Luo Yifan changed his attitude of going around in circles just now and began to ask directly.
