"And according to you, if there really is a secret factory, it has been built there for at least a year, and it is impossible for it to be exposed until someone complains, is it possible that those workers are really mistaken?"

"I don't know, I'm not a material to study mysterious events, if you're interested, I can tell you the phone number of my lawyer, and you can ask him yourself."

Luo Yifan thought for a moment and refused: "No need, I've been very busy with performance tasks recently, and I don't have time to study this kind of thing, let the police bother with it, let's continue to drink tea." ”

Mr. Male God leaned forward and made a gesture of please, and the two of them then chatted about the details of the topic just now for a while, and then began to continue to talk about the middle-aged man's family situation, about an hour later, the middle-aged man got up to say goodbye after settling the account, leaving Luo Yifan alone to continue to sit in the tea restaurant to kill time.

He first made a phone call to his wife Luo Yun and the children, then sat motionless and pondered for a while, then took out his mobile phone and dialed another phone number, which was the beginning of Luo Yifan's walk into the lavender villa on this second call.

Lavender House killings, around 10:15 a.m. the next day

Yun Yeyao was already sitting in the police car that came to pick him up, at this moment, the police car was parked near a gas station on the edge of the suburban avenue, while the police went out to run errands, Yun Yeyao was alone thinking about the direction of his next move, he decided to first go back to the warehouse where the body was found at the beginning to take a look, now they can't run around like headless flies.

Since he couldn't find the right location, he could only sort out the clues from the origin, and Yun Yeyao wanted to take a look at the place where Xie Yunmeng was plotted first. By 12 noon, if he can't find the correct location of Lavender Villa, will he participate in the autopsy? Whether to continue to find Xie Yunmeng's whereabouts will become a dilemma.

The man neither wants to lose the one he loves, nor does he want to let the past evildoers go unpunished, but the demon hidden in the darkness makes him helpless, because he has no way of knowing, who is playing the demon? The only way is to take advantage of the woman who loves and despises herself.

Therefore, men blindly endure the arrogance and rudeness of women, and even if they are misunderstood, they do not intend to tell the truth. He was actually not on Liu Yunzhao's invitation list at all, he got information from the woman, and then deceived the woman to pretend that he was also invited. In fact, he had been waiting for his time in the painting warehouse.

Liu Yunzhao took money to let him do things and borrowed his only place to live, although the man had done enough play, he readily agreed, and once again, he never shirked it, because he wanted to know what Liu Yunzhao was doing? Who is behind the scenes to operate the greedy and good brother and sister?

There is one more thing, that is, the true identity of the white blame, the man knows through the woman that this so-called white blame has actually been doing illegal things, and it is likely to be related to the lavender villa, in the man's heart, there is always a suspicious goal, but after so many years of contact, he has to deny the possible behavior of this target.

This is a really contradictory idea, that is, to delve into the facts and avenge the love of the past, and to save the lives of some people in the present so that they do not fall into the trap set by the real demon. And in the process, he also needs to confirm whether the people around him are real demons anytime and anywhere.

It can be said that a man's life has always been full of pressure and irritability, and only that broken drawing board can bring him a little comfort, so before the final plan is implemented, the man buried his beloved things, buried in a place where no one can find him, he thought, if he can really survive in the end, he can get out of prison safely, then take the once broken memories and fly away together, and never drag anyone's life down again.

The surrounding investigation of Wu Weiyun's interpersonal relationship has yielded a lot of reliable information, first of all, Wu Weiyun is actually a friend of Yun Yeyao, which surprised Mi Xiaodong, but it cannot be regarded as a clue, because Mi Xiaodong absolutely believes that Yun Yeyao cannot have anything to do with the murder.

Secondly, Wu Weiyun has a third sister who lives in other cities, there are five brothers and sisters in total, and only Wu Weiyun and the third sister who is over seventy years old are left, this old lady is a retired teacher, and her body is still very tough, according to the police investigation, she and Wu Weiyun have not met for more than ten years, and the old lady usually lives in a simple house, and she doesn't even know the news of Wu Weiyun's daughter's death when she calls, so it is impossible to have anything to do with the murder.

Then there is Wu Weiyun's wife, Wu Weiyun divorced his wife at the age of 35, according to understanding, his wife's name is Luo Lingling, very beautiful, but also very fond of vanity, and Wu Weiyun's age is similar, he gave up his marriage with Wu Weiyun because he went abroad, and then the two have never been in touch because they have no way to understand each other. No one has seen Luo Lingling now, and no one knows whether she has returned to China.

Mi Xiaodong immediately arranged for personnel to carry out further investigation of Luo Lingling, first of all, to investigate whether she has ever come back after her daughter died in a car accident? If Luo Lingling has come back, then she has hidden her whereabouts from everyone, which is very suspicious, and the police cannot rule out the possibility of revenge and murder after Luo Lingling traces the information of the perpetrator back then. So that's a usable piece of information for the time being.

Finally, the police also learned that when Luo Lingling left China, she left a small studio in the city, and now this studio is used and lived by a painter and his friends.

"Did something happen to you on the road? Why didn't you even take off your motorcycle helmet? The elderly woman in the room asked with a look of surprise, she hadn't seen the man in front of her for more than ten years, and the last time she saw him, he was just a teenager, and now she has no way to overlap with the past.

"Aunt Luo, I just have a little time to delay, and I'm in a hurry on the road." The man, who had just entered his studio, immediately walked to the window with his back to the old woman, took off his helmet from his head, and threw it in the middle of the paintings, as if he did not cherish his paintings very much. And the Aunt Luo in his mouth is the Luo Lingling we mentioned before.

"How are you doing all these years?" Luo Lingling looked at the boy she hadn't seen for many years, and felt that he was much haggard than before, and he seemed to be black and thin.

The reason why I want to use two words seems to be that the position where the man is standing completely covers his face Luo Lingling did not ask the man to face her face out of regret for the past, she didn't know if the man had forgiven the past. So speak cautiously.

"Is your father okay?" Luo Lingling continued to ask.

"It's okay! In recent years, his health has not been as good as before, and his father has remarried recently, so Aunt Luo, you'd better not bother him anymore. ”

"I know, I'm very grateful that you came out to see me, I know that the past was all my fault, and now I don't plan to bother your father again, but I hope you can forgive me for the love of all these years."

"Aunt Luo," the man moved his body slightly, propped his hands on the windowsill and said, "It doesn't matter between us whether to forgive or not, I don't care anymore that you cheated my father about his money and feelings in order to go abroad, after all, I have been independent from the past to the present." Now for me, as long as my father has nothing to do with you, I can also let go of everything and live a good life. Aunt Luo, do you plan to stay for a long time when you come back this time? ”

Yun Yeyao returned to the vicinity of the warehouse where Liu Yunzhao died, the warehouse was still closed by the police at the moment, and no one could approach, Yun Yeyao did not immediately start a search, but carefully observed the surrounding garbage heaps, since the murder, no one here has come back to pick up waste items.

The construction site is littered with recyclable garbage, including improvised baffles for construction sites, discarded steel bars, and square dirt wheels with weeds. The clods look strange, not like they were dug out of large pots, because there are no such large pots that can hold these clods.

They are shaped like large square tiles and appear larger and thicker than them. Underneath the clods of earth are pointed, pyramid-shaped, with some sparse, unplucked plant roots. There was also very little grass on the clods, as if they had been cleaned up when they were discarded, and Yun Yeyao became interested in them.

With the help of the police, he collected the clods of soil one by one in the middle of the clearing, and then arranged them together, and while doing these things, Yun Yeyao asked the policeman, "What do you think these clods of dirt look like together?" ”

"It's like earthwork dug out of a garden." The police officer didn't really see why, and just answered based on his first impression.

Yun Yeyao continued to ask, "Maybe it was dug out of the field?" ”

"That's impossible," the police officer immediately denied his claim, Yun Yeyao may not know what the surrounding crops look like, but the officers all know very well. One of the police officers said: "It is impossible for a farmer to cut a field into such squares and throw it in the garbage. And the fields where the crops are grown need to be irrigated every day, and the soil is moist, and if you look at these clods, they are as hard as bricks, they must have been abandoned for days, they must have been dug out of a garden or greenhouse. ”

On the night of the murder, Mi Xiaodong took his assistant to the studio left by Luo Lingling to have a look, meet the painter who lived there, and it would be best to learn about Luo Lingling and Wu Weiyun's past.

However, some unexpected circumstances made him delay the investigation of the apartment until noon the next day, because after a forensic autopsy, it was found that the body in the trash can and the body in the express package were not the same person at all.

The body in the package was identified as a woman named Bai Yun. She died of poisoning, and the medical examiner determined that Bai Yun was poisoned by neurotoxoids, possibly snake venom. The half-body in the trash can showed no signs of poisoning at all, and the incisions on the two bodies could not be matched in many places. That is to say, Mi Xiaodong and they are going to investigate two homicides, not one.

After the autopsy results came out, the direction of the investigation could not only focus on the interpersonal relationships around Wu Weiyun. The first thing to do is to confirm the identity of the half-body in the trash can, who is she? Where to stay? We all need to know as soon as possible.

Based on the DNA information extracted by the forensic doctor, the police called up all the databases for comparison overnight, and it was not until the next morning that the name of the body was determined to be Liu Yun.

In this way, it is difficult to figure out the direction of the development of the entire lavender villa murder incident, of course Mi Xiaodong does not know the two women Bai Yun and Liu Yun, but we know that Liu Yun is one of the dead in the suburban warehouse. And Bai Yun is inside the lavender villa at the moment, active as Xu Qing's girlfriend.

Mi Xiaodong's investigation made Bai Yun's identity confusing. Since the part of the corpse pieced together with Liu Yun's corpse is determined to be Bai Yun, who is Bai Yun in the lavender villa? Could it be another woman who looks similar? Or is it a murderer who really wants to kill everyone, an identity used to disguise?

"Okay," Mi Xiaodong replied, he roughly recounted the express package incident that happened in front of Wu Weiyun's house yesterday, and then said: "We only found half of the bodies of Liu Yun and Bai Yun, Bai Yun found the head, shoulder part and arm, and Liu Yun found the entire body part below the chest, and the autopsy results of both of them have come out, Bai Yun died of poisoning, and Liu Yun was stabbed to death by a knife." ”

It can be said that Mi Xiaodong's investigation is very important to Yun Yeyao at this moment, but he can't tell Mi Xiaodong the real situation Xie Yunmeng is facing, which will disrupt Mi Xiaodong's investigation process.

The incident really expanded from here, with Wu Weiyun and his ex-wife Luo Lingling as the central line of investigation, making up for the limitations of many places on Yun Yeyao's side, Yun Yeyao had not put Wu Weiyun in the position of an important party to the case. But now it was different, and he was keenly aware that Mr. Wu's ex-wife, Luo Lingling, might have played a key role in the Lavender Villa incident.

Therefore, Yun Yeyao said to Mi Xiaodong on the phone: "I immediately called Xiaozuo and asked him to apply for the two cases to be investigated together." You continue to pay attention to the surrounding information of Wu Weiyun and his ex-wife Luo Lingling, first of all, find Luo Lingling, if you find it, call me immediately, this is very important. ”

"Okay, I'll report back to the police station immediately, and the investigation will be rescheduled this afternoon. By the way, Xiao Yao, did you come to Liu Yunzhao's apartment last night to investigate? Is there any information on the painters who live here now? Mi Xiaodong asked.

"I don't know the specifics yet, but the painter who lives there hasn't been found yet, and I'm working on an investigation. Xiao Zuo is now investigating Liu Yun's house, he and I are going back to the police station for an autopsy in the afternoon, it would be great if you could send the lower part of Liu Yun's body over, Liu Yun's body is very important, she may be the only body that can reveal the murderer's information. ”

However, it didn't take long for everyone to figure out the problem, as Yun Yeyao found some fragments of a drink bottle from the garbage heap.

On the inside of the debris, we found the residue of explosive powder, that is, the explosive was exploded in an inconspicuous beverage bottle, and this beverage bottle may contain some other things, such as drug powder that can cause a person to be unconscious for a long time.

This is why the suspect asked Xie Yunmeng to see the white text, when the text appeared, Xie Yunmeng would subconsciously think that it was a clue left by someone, and then get closer to see it. When Mr. Detective's face came closer, the suspect ignited the explosives in the drink bottle, then all the drug powder would be sprinkled on Xie Yunmeng's face because of the explosion, and he would not faint before he could have a ghost!

However, there are still some problems with this explanation, first, there is text written somewhere on the garbage heap, and Xie Yunmeng's eyesight is not bad enough to get close enough to see it. Second, taking a step back, even if Mr. Detective leaned over to look at it, how did the suspect detonate the drink bottle? It's not a time bomb again, you can set the time. And there is no way for the suspect to grasp, when will Xie Yunmeng go to the garbage heap to find clues?

Yun Yeyao thought that the questions raised by the police officers could be explained, saying: "Xiao Meng didn't just see the words, he must have seen something that could attract him to look closer, such as a part of a person's body, half of a finger sticking out of the garbage heap, or a little bit of skin." Xiao Meng has already found the body in the warehouse, and if he finds any more parts of the body that appear to be human in the garbage heap, he will definitely come over to see it, and even want to pick up the garbage to carefully identify it. ”

"Xiao Meng will naturally think that it may be a new corpse, but it is not, I guess it is a living human body part, the suspect hid himself in the garbage heap, observed Xiao Meng's movements, and waited for the opportunity to light the drink bottle."

The woman didn't speak, but also restrained her usual arrogant look, tilted her head and glanced at the man, the faces of the two people were very tight at that time, and the woman felt that she could see not only indifference from this man's face, but also the feelings hidden in her heart, which made her unpredictable.

Before meeting the man in front of her, the woman was just obedient to her own career, although her career did not improve, but because she had never dated other men before, she thought that she lacked experience in some aspects, so she gave up the plan to continue to ponder the man's mind.

After the two men stood silently for a few minutes, the woman clamped the brown paper bag in her arms and turned away from the man. She walked down the same path into the dark corridor, and when her feet stood on the damp concrete staircase, the woman couldn't help but glance back, and by this time, the place where the man was standing was empty, and only the roar of a motorcycle could be heard in her ears.

——

The afternoon of the second day after the Lavender House killings

When the footsteps at the end of the road completely disappeared, the woman sitting by the window in a daze came back to her senses, she kept thinking about her thoughts, what did those people who came here in a row mean? Is it a suspicion that she has done something? But she didn't even figure out what was going on, if she knew that Liu Yunzhao was doing criminal deeds, women would never play the role of accomplices.

But now, it's too late to say anything, such a thought makes the woman suddenly full of fear, everything was fine yesterday morning, why has everything changed now?

She originally thought that she was just acting and would not provoke anything, but in the current situation, the woman felt that she could neither tell the truth nor have the way to leave this matter behind, to the point of a dilemma. She feared that one day the police would find out her clues and send her to court along with Liu Yunzhao.

"In that case, in addition to the murderer, the witnesses were also very suspicious, there were two witnesses at the scene, Wu Weiyun was at the door of the bracket at the time to open the express, and was frightened by the corpse inside and spread it on the ground on the spot, a passing man found it and called the police, but this person disappeared after making a call."

"There was also a witness, the person who found Liu Yun's body in the garbage can, and there was a nearby who saw his back, and it was said that this person was still wearing a police uniform, but when the auxiliary police greeted him, the second witness first fell to the ground, and then suddenly got up and screamed and ran away. The auxiliary police didn't have time to react at all, and when they remembered to chase after him, the man was gone, and the auxiliary police didn't even see his face clearly. ”

Mi Xiaodong also thinks that there is a big problem with the witnesses, so they are sending people to go all out to find them. Xiao Zuo, all the puzzles are slowly being revealed, we are not clueless now, I asked Mi Xiaodong to send the corpse part of their side in the afternoon, as long as we finish examining the corpse, tomorrow, or maybe tonight, we may be able to connect all the cases together and find the real root cause. ”

As soon as Yun Yeyao's words were finished, Mo Haiyou stepped on the brakes, he parked the police car on the edge of the road, then propped his hands on the steering wheel, stared at Yun Yeyao's eyes and said, "You're still looking for Luo Yifan, right?" ”

"Xiao Zuo, I'm sorry, I know about Luo Yifan, even if I don't say it, you can definitely guess it. But the fact is not as you think, it was not Luo Yifan who I went to find, it was Luo Yifan who found me, and before Mi Xiaodong called, Luo Yifan called first. ”

Mo Haiyou asked: "What did Luo Yifan say?" ”

Yun Yeyao replied: "The other person is in S City, and the purpose of coming here is to see Jiang Xinglong, who has just been released from prison, Luo Yifan didn't know anything, but Jiang Xinglong told him one thing, there is a joint venture in the suburbs here, and it was sued by the worker, the worker suffered from cancer, and it was suspected that it was caused by radiation in the company's factory." ”

So after talking to Yun Yeyao on the phone, what did Luo Yifan do?

Luo Yifan did not go directly to the suburbs, but went to Jiang Xinglong's lawyer, of course, not in Jiang Xinglong's name, but in his own name, and he hoped that the lawyer would not tell anyone, including Jiang Xinglong, about their meeting.

Luo Yifan did this with his own plans, if there was really a murder on Yun Yeyao's side, then he was naturally very interested in participating in the investigation. But this matter must not reach the ears of his sister Luo Yun, who is already in poor health and has three children. All the dangerous things he did, such as the specific work that the Loifan Foundation has been working on, have not been told to his sister.

Moreover, Luo Yifan is still secretly investigating the past of Yun Yeyao and Mo Haiyou, and he has concealed these things that can be avoided by Luo Yun. It's not cheating, there is no need to worry Luo Yun about this, if the thing turns out well, Luo Yifan will naturally tell it to his sister like a story; If things turn out badly, then why should the process be worrying about?

Over the years, Luo Yifan has also felt that he has become more and more yearning for special scenery. His yearning is different from Yun Yeyao, Yun Yeyao's yearning is convergent, and it is slowly developed step by step with the criminal police and forensic medicine. But his yearning is direct and freewheeling.

Luo Yifan is willing to explore any secret he is interested in, as long as he guarantees that he is not involved in crime, he does not care whether the behavior has crossed the line.

On Jiang Xinglong's lawyer's side, Luo Yifan learned the details of the company's defendants, and he also overheard about one thing, which was related to Liu Yunzhao, although it was not involved in the homicide case, but it was enough for people to threaten Liu Yunzhao to do something he was afraid to do.

Luo Yifan was very satisfied with this meeting, and on the premise of getting clues, he even learned some things that the police did not know for the time being, which was of great help to the next operation. Luo Yifan's next target was set at the place where Liu Yunzhao lived, and of course he had already inquired with Mr. Lawyer about the address.

When the room was quiet, Luo Yifan knocked on the door three more times, and he asked inside the house, "Is anyone home?" There's something I'd like to ask about. ”

His voice didn't sound like the criminal policeman who came at noon, nor did it look like the policeman who came last night, but the girl didn't feel completely unfamiliar, stabilized her mood, and said to the outside of the house, "I'll open the door right away, you wait." ”

The girl didn't want anyone to think that she had anything suspicious, so she picked up the bread on the floor, put it on the table, and walked quickly to the door.

The moment the door opened, the girl only glanced at the person outside the door, and immediately covered her face with her hands and let out an exclamation, which was not an exclamation of fear, but an exclamation of adoration and yearning, because the girl recognized at a glance who the person in the cheap overalls was?

It was precisely because of her expression and movements that Luo Yifan determined what the girl did. He immediately said: "I seem to have seen you somewhere, are you an extras who participated in the show last time in Rose Park, I remember correctly?" ”

"Yes, that's me, I participated in two TV series there, and one time it was your stage play, I was really lucky, although there were only a few shots, but I also acted very seriously." The girl hurriedly said that she was really excited, and Luo Yifan's arrival was undoubtedly an opportunity for her.

The idol who had no fate to see actually took the initiative to come to the door, and the girl immediately left what she was thinking in her heart and invited Luo Yifan into the house. Regardless of whether the police can investigate her head or not, Luo Yifan has a performance opportunity in his hands, and for a young actor like them, the performance opportunity is more important than anything else.

Then things went smoothly, and Luo Yifan naturally entered the house and started talking to the girl. He learned that this girl is a young actor with a dream, Luo Yifan just tested her a little, and felt that the girl's acting skills and makeup skills were very good, and she could be regarded as a qualified actor.

"If I really don't know Liu Yunzhao's purpose, but just help him play a certain person, and collect his money, will I go to jail for this?" When she said this, the girl's eyes raised and she stared at Luo Yifan. She hoped that Luo Yifan could give a clear answer to make her feel at ease.

Luo Yifan said: "I'm not sure about the legal thing, but as long as you don't intentionally commit a crime, there will definitely be room for reversal, you can tell me what you did first, right?" ”

Then there was only the girl's voice left in the room, Luo Yifan listened quietly, and he didn't stand up until it was completely dark, stuffed a note with a phone number into the girl's palm, and said to her: "Please don't leave here for the time being, if you have any difficulties or new situations to say, you can call me at any time, I will definitely try my best to help you." Also, if the police come here next time, you have to be honest with them. ”

"Didn't you tell the police what I just said?" The girl asked Luo Yifan suspiciously.

Luo Yifan replied: "I will definitely tell the police, and they will also come to you to confirm, so you must tell the truth, you know?" Only by telling the truth can the relationship between himself and Liu Yunzhao be cleared. As for the rest of the matter, just leave it to the police to deal with, you don't have to worry too much about being afraid, continue to do your own work, I believe that with your acting skills and appearance, there will definitely be opportunities in the future, and I will also pay attention to you. ”

"Really, really?" The girl stood up suddenly, hugged Luo Yifan's arm and asked, but the next second, she immediately realized that she was out of shape, and let go of her hand with a red face, Luo Yifan distanced herself from her slightly, patted the girl's shoulder gently, and turned around and walked out of the small apartment where she lived, leaving the girl alone in the room waiting for the police.

The strong psychological gap will indeed make a person burst out with a completely different temperament, before Luo Yifan arrived, the girl was still there worried and confused. But now, when the figure in front of her disappeared, she paced up and down the room excitedly, even jumping. Neither sitting nor standing, a person is as if he has been doped.

"It's not difficult to do specific things, Liu Yunzhao just needs to pretend to be arrogant and look down on people after I meet, and make that young man believe that I am his real girlfriend. He said that the man I wanted to meet was supported by his girlfriend, so he listened to his girlfriend everywhere. ”

Luo Yifan asked her: "Is the person Liu Yunzhao asked you to see is Xu Qing?" ”

"No, it's a young man I don't know, he looks a little similar to Xu Qing, but I can make out that it's definitely not the same person. Although Liu Yunzhao said that the man would listen to me very much, in fact, I felt that he looked down on the woman I played in his heart, and even hated it a little. ”

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because of the subtle movements, whenever I approached him, tried to hook his arm or simply tried to get closer and talk, he would lean back slightly. Although he didn't reject me, I knew that he had always resisted me in his heart. I don't understand this kind of feeling, but I think that if a man really loves a woman, he will take the initiative to hold the woman and coax the woman, instead of avoiding it, just like you, I once saw you and your wife together at the airport, at that time, all I saw was love, and the doting in your eyes. ”

But he either didn't want to look at me, or gently pushed me away. I even feel that I am being used by Liu Yunzhao and the woman's boyfriend in the photo at the same time, of course, this is just my feeling, there is no basis. I also told Liu Yunzhao about this feeling, but Liu Yunzhao just sneered at me and didn't want to say anything. ”

"Later, presumably, in ...... Yesterday morning, Liu Yunzhao called me and told me an address, he asked me to be there before 9 o'clock in the morning, when I dressed up and hurried there, waiting for me was actually Liu Yunzhao himself, he looked very frightened, hiding in an abandoned warehouse, I was startled at the time, I didn't know what was going on, but I had already received Liu Yunzhao's last money, so it was not good to turn around and leave immediately. ”

Xie Yunmeng hopes that the people below will take action, and action means that there are traces to follow, as long as there are traces to follow, Xie Yunmeng is confident that he can catch the murderer and pull him out of this villa, but Mr. Criminal Police thinks too simply.

His mind was focused on the murderer alone, and what were the others in the house doing? But he has deviated from Xie Yunmeng's range of thinking, which is destined for him to ignore many important points. We know that the more attention you get, the less necessarily important you are; The more people hide out of sight, the more likely they are to become life-threatening demons.

The bell struck 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and the criminal police continued to wait and watch quietly, and the corpses in the lavender field had already fallen on the dirt because of the loss of life, and no more creatures crawled over its surface, only small insects kept chirping, reminding people of everything that happened here.

The people in the room finally moved, Xie Yunmeng immediately cheered up, his body moved little by little with the slight footsteps below, and after a while, Xie Yunmeng confirmed that the people inside walked out of the room and entered the corridor on the second floor.

When there was a sound of the door lock closing below, Xie Yunmeng immediately adjusted his position, and his whole body lay down under the keel of the top beam, carefully not touching anything, crawling to the top plate in the center of the corridor, and continuing to move in the direction of the footsteps.

Strangely, after the person in the room came out, the footsteps suddenly amplified, and he no longer seemed to deliberately cover up, but strode downstairs. After the sound disappeared at the entrance of the building, Xie Yunmeng quickly climbed from the beam to the entrance of the skylight, and turned over and left the roof.

Then he re-entered the kitchen through the open gap in the cooker hood pipe, stuffed the exhaust pipe back into the gap, jumped off the glass table, put on his coat, and hid in the dark corner of the kitchen. All these actions, Xie Yunmeng only took about a minute, and at this time, the people upstairs had not yet entered the living room.

Time passed minute by minute, and the room was always very quiet, until the next day, when the east was white, Xie Yunmeng and Fu Zhi still did not come down from the second floor of the West House.

At more than 5 o'clock in the morning, An Lingxiang, who lived alone in the east room, yawned and walked out of the room, she didn't care about Xie Yunmeng's still closed door, and walked straight over, heading downstairs.

The garbage placed at the door of the room has been overnight, and the garbage is always easy to rot in the warm season, so there is a faint smell in the corridor, but An Lingxiang doesn't want to take the garbage downstairs and throw it away.

This can't all be blamed on her, usually Fu Shu does too much in the lives of the two of them, so that An Lingxiang can't think of doing anything.

At this time, another person was also walking downstairs, but his orientation was not in the east room, but in the stairwell of the west room.

The man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was still dozing in a daze. Gently shaking the key he carried with him in his hand, the key made a crisp metal impact sound, which did not feel abrupt to hear in the quiet morning, but was very pleasant.

Two people came down to the living room from different places and the same position, one seemed to be awake and walked into the kitchen, began to wash his hands and make breakfast, and the other went directly to the outside.

An Lingxiang has a small bathroom in her room, so she doesn't need to go downstairs to wash, she didn't know why she made trouble yesterday, she didn't sleep well all night, she was always dreaming, and the messy dreams not only made her wake up before dawn, but also brought her a pair of big dark circles, which made An Lingxiang extremely irritable.

The air in the early morning, especially the air in the flower field, was fragrant and pleasant, An Lingxiang stood at the gate of the east house and took a deep breath several times, and her eyes were much clearer. She looked up at the lavender field, where a large patch of dark purple branches near the house looked sparse, probably cut by Fu Zhi last night.

"That's true," Mo Haiyou said, "Now these two directions cannot be ruled out, they are the most likely cause of Liu Yun's cancer." However, I still think that the possibility of radiation is relatively high, because in addition to the inspection of cosmetics, we also conducted a detailed examination of Liu Yun's subcutaneous tissue and internal organs, and although there were residues of cosmetic ingredients, the results were far from exceeding the limit. ”

"And hair loss, damage to the internal tissues of the eyes, all have a lot to do with radiation. For example, working in front of a mobile phone or computer for a long time, or being exposed to radiation caused by irregular production for a long time, etc. But the problem now is that we can't find any evidence from the watershed's life circle that she was addicted to electronics, or that she worked in a factory. This makes me wonder if our guesses are simply wrong, or Liu Yun is deliberately covering up certain behaviors in her life so that no one can find out. ”

When Mo Haiyou was analyzing and reasoning, Yun Yeyao had been recalling the scene of the autopsy just now, Liu Yun's face was calm, but his eyes were wide and he was looking straight ahead, and there seemed to be anger in his pupils. This may indicate that she saw the murderer before she died, and if this is true, then it further confirms their suspicion that Liu Yun was willing to die in order to expose the murderer, and she already knew that her life was short before she died, so she made such a decision.

Yun Yeyao said: "Xiao Zuo, I think maybe it's not that Liu Yun is deliberately covering up some behaviors in life, but someone is deliberately helping him cover up, this person is not easy to say at the moment, maybe it's Liu Yun's brother Liu Yunzhao, maybe it's the murderer himself." But I always have a feeling that Liu Yunzhao obviously did not touch the core of the incident, and he would be the first to be killed, which shows that he has no use value for the murderer. ”

"How is it possible for a person who has lost his usefulness so early to know the whole plan of the murderer? What we investigated was Liu Yun's behavior during the day, and I think it is necessary to investigate her behavior at night in depth, and according to the neighbor's confession, no one has ever seen Liu Yun go out at night. But Liu Yun's house is on the second floor of a small high-rise, if you deliberately want to hide the eyes of the people around you, it is not a very difficult thing to leave the house at night, women may be more delicate, but if someone often answers, it is another matter. ”

Yun Yeyao continued: "Xiao Zuo, in addition to the murderer's desire to temporarily conceal the truth of his death, he also had a purpose in taking away half of Liu Yun and Bai Yun's bodies, which was to link the murder case to the car accident that happened in the lavender field in the past. One thing is certain, the murderer must be a person Wu Weiyun does not know, a person who has nothing to do with him at all. ”

"If the murderer has nothing to do with Wu Weiyun, then why do you know about the events of the past? Will you know the address of Wu Weiyun's house? According to our investigation, in the past ten years, Wu Weiyun has moved several times, and the last time he decided to live back in the old house, it is impossible for these people who have nothing to do with him to know! Mo Haiyou asked.

"That's right, Xiao Zuo, I didn't mean to favor Wu Weiyun in this matter, the murderer pretended to be a courier, and appeared in front of Wu Weiyun with only a hat, why is he so bold? That's because even if the police investigate Wu Weiyun's surrounding relationships, they can't find out the true identity of the murderer, so he has the courage to take risky actions in order to make the play more realistic. ”

Of course, he also has to take the risk of being remembered by Wu Weiyun, but the probability of this risk is very small, Wu Weiyun is an old man who lives alone, and his body is not very healthy, so he is easily frightened. What's more, the murderer sent him bloody body pieces. Whoever it is? Unwrapping such a package would scare the six gods. ”

"Wu Weiyun opened the package at the gate at the time, and accidentally rolled the body pieces into the middle of the road, at this time, the fright to him was not only the body itself, but also the fear of being a murderer, you think, if the courier is also fake, he can't explain the source of the package at all, and in a hurry, he will forget the murderer's appearance, which is also a very normal thing."

"Therefore, rather than saying that the murderer may have known Wu Weiyun, I am more inclined to say that the murderer knew the survivors of the lavender car accident. Also, the clues provided by Luo Yifan can be regarded as our unexpected joy, originally based on the clue that Liu Yun was sick, it was impossible for us to immediately contact the enterprises in the suburbs, although we can make some speculations from it, but the specific process will never be as fast as it is now. ”

"Luo Yifan is tantamount to providing us with a clear direction for investigation, if these two things can really be linked, then everything can be straightened out."

Just when Yun Yeyao was talking, his mobile phone suddenly rang, Yun Yeyao signaled Mo Haiyou not to speak, and pressed the answer button himself.

Luo Yifan continued: "The lawyer told me that Liu Yunzhao used an unknown painter to paint for him, and then packaged it and sold it as a fake famous painting to make a high profit. But where all this money goes, no one knows. The company now denies its relationship with Mr. Liu entirely, saying only that he had worked with them before. ”

Although Liu Yunzhao's case has been discovered, the deceived person can't even find his shadow now, and the lawyer lacks important evidence to prove what kind of relationship Liu Yunzhao has with the company. I went to Liu Yunzhao's apartment to inquire about his whereabouts, but I found that the door of Liu Yunzhao's house was not locked at all, and the furnishings in the house looked as if no one had lived in it for a long time. “

"I did suspect that Liu Yunzhao had been killed, and I didn't report anything in the hope of getting the news, because this kind of murderous thing, the murderer must have done it very obscurely. But when I knocked on the door next door, my mind changed. ”

"How?" Yun Yeyao asked.

"When there was a knock on the door, I heard the panicked inhalation of the people inside and the sound of things falling to the ground, which is definitely proof that the people inside have been questioned by the police and are in a panicked mood."

And when I saw the face of the little girl who came out of it, I was even more sure of my guess. So I used a little method to get the truth out, from which I learned about what was happening near the warehouse, and although it was incomplete, it also allowed me to guess some clues. ”

"I told the girl in the apartment to wait for you there, and I told her that no one was allowed to knock on the door unless it was the police. You have to get her out of there as soon as possible, or rent her a new house. The girl's employer is Liu Yunzhao, and it is possible that the suspect does not know about her existence yet, so it is the right time for you to go now. ”

"I'll leave for the industrial park right away, but before that, I still want to know what happened to Officer Xie? If you need it, I'll do it. ”

The male owner of the lavender villa encountered strange things in his own room, and at the same time, the two people living in the other room were not easy, they were Xu Qing and Bai Yun, who had not been explained for a long time.

Now it seems that Bai Yun, this woman, has been dyed with a layer of weird and terrifying colors, because in the eyes of the criminal police, she is a dismembered corpse. And in the eyes of the insiders of the Lavender Villa, she is still alive and well.

Which one is really Bai Yun? Which one is a deceptive illusion? Now I'm afraid only the little couple in the room knows best.

At five o'clock in the morning, Bai Yun woke up from her sleep, she opened her eyes and looked at the man lying beside her, the man was still sleeping deeply, his chest was slightly undulating, so that Bai Yun couldn't bear to wake him up.

Reaching out and groping for the bedside table, Bai Yun picked up a cigarette from the bedside table without getting up, a woman like her occasionally smokes because of pressure, but not always.

When the cigarette was lit, Bai Yun exhaled a breath from her mouth, watching the breath mixed with tobacco slowly rise, she was a little sluggish for an instant, and she didn't know what to think. The appearance that is usually strong and accustomed to it is not seen at all on a woman's body at the moment, maybe only when Xu Qing is asleep, she is like this.

Bai Yun didn't know how many years she hadn't been loved, at that time, in order to take revenge on the man who abandoned her, she came to this lavender villa as a guest, and often came after that. During the days of frequent gatherings, she found that the outcasts were not alarmed or sorry for her arrival.

She also realized that she hadn't made her hatred worse by seeing the outcast. On the contrary, everything between the two people faded, whether it was feelings or hatred.

Through calm and seemingly unfazed exchanges again and again, Bai Yun slowly realized that she had made a mistake and a mistake, and the wrong payment was because the outcaster had never loved her at all, and it could even be said that she had never loved anyone.

"Officer Xie, why are you in the warehouse?" Xu Qing asked, his position at the moment was standing at the door of the room next to Fu Zhi, which belonged to his girlfriend Bai Yun.

Xie Yunmeng just turned around and saw that it was Xu Qing, he said, "Mr. Xu, you got up really early, why don't you sleep for a while?" ”

The question was fed back, and Xie Yunmeng obviously didn't want to tell Xu Qing what he was doing in the warehouse? After Xu Qing answered his question, Xie Yunmeng answered: "It was Mr. Fu who asked me to come to the warehouse to help, let's go downstairs together." ”

Xu Qing didn't continue to ask, he decided that the current Xie Yunmeng didn't know anything! He doesn't need to ask more, and he doesn't need to say more, he just needs to stay out of the suspects of the criminal police. Giving up the original plan to return to his room, Xu Qing chatted with Mr. Criminal Police and walked downstairs.

When he walked to the window at the bend of the stairs, Xu Qing inadvertently looked at the window sill, where there were two deep mud footprints, he glanced out of the window, and said to Xie Yunmeng: "Did anyone climb in from here yesterday?" How can there be footprints in such a place? ”

In fact, these two mud footprints should have been left by Xie Yunmeng himself last night, of course Xie Yunmeng couldn't say, he just looked at the place Xu Qing pointed to, and said that he didn't know who left it? Later, you can ask the male host Fu Zhi to take a look.

Just when the two of them were stuck because of the footprints on the windowsill, Xie Yunmeng, who was at the tip of his ears, suddenly heard the sound of the rubbing of flower branches and grass blades from outside, although the sound sounded far away, Xie Yunmeng could still hear that it seemed to be the sound of people crawling.

The criminal policeman immediately became alert, he gently pushed away Xu Qing's body blocked by the window, poked his head out of the window and looked around, there was nothing in the large lavender flower field to the west of the house, and the wind rustled the flower branches.

At this time, the people upstairs also came down one after another, and the first to rush to Xie Yunmeng was Wen Yuan, her face was pale and disheveled, with a frightened expression, and her beautiful eyes were about to pop out of her sockets.

As soon as he ran in front of Mr. Criminal Police, Wen Yuan couldn't wait to ask: "Xu Qing said that someone died, is it true?" ”

Xie Yunmeng nodded with a gloomy face, and motioned for Wen Yuan to sit on the side first, and the specific matters will be discussed when everyone has arrived. Wen Yuan had no choice but to sit tremblingly on the chair closest to Xie Yunmeng, her eyes staring at the two women on the sofa, her body was not so much sitting down, but slumped in the chair.

The next two people to arrive were Xu Qing and Canglu Lu, Canglu Lu was also disheveled, and he was as frightened as Wen Yuan, and soon sat down obediently, like a prisoner waiting for Mr. Criminal Police to fall, Xu Qing grabbed Xie Yunmeng, panting and said: "Upstairs, I didn't find Fu Zhi upstairs, in his room... And not in the warehouse! ”

"What ?!!" Xie Yunmeng looked back at Xu Qing abruptly and said to him: "You take care of everyone first, I'll go upstairs to watch, remember, no one is allowed to go outside the gate, just wait for me here!" ”

"Good!" Xu Qing hurriedly replied, he stood beside his girlfriend, and watched Xie Yunmeng rush into the stairwell, the look of horror on his face became more and more intense.

Xie Yunmeng took a few steps to the upstairs, he didn't say a word, kicked open the door of the first room on the left side of the corridor, this is the room of the male owner Fu Zhi, it is really empty, but Xie Yunmeng noticed the faucet turned on in the bathroom, and the footprints printed on the windowsill.

This shows that the man has returned to his room after he fell asleep last night, and has washed up and left the room. It is possible that the faucet in the bathroom was forgotten to be turned off when the man was washing, but Xie Yunmeng thought it didn't matter. What matters is the footprints on the windowsill.

Xie Yunmeng stood at the door of the room, listening carefully, and after a while, the sound of a person moving barefoot came from the room, the voice was very soft, and if it wasn't for his full attention, he couldn't hear it at all.

Before Xie Yunmeng walked out of the room, he had quietly observed all the places in the room where people could hide, so he knew in his heart who was moving at this time? The people in the room didn't walk towards the door, they only moved a few steps before stopping, and then Xie Yunmeng heard some rustling sounds that seemed to be clothes rubbing.

After the rustling stopped, the slight footsteps began to sound again, this time only a few steps before stopping, and then there was the sound of rubbing again, a little different from the previous one, lighter and more careful, each friction was very brief, and there was still almost no way to hear clearly.

The people in the room were moving for about ten minutes, and then they couldn't hear any sound, and Xie Yunmeng couldn't be sure if he had slipped outside through the window, so he raised his hand and tapped on the door a few times, waiting for a response.

The people inside didn't seem to hear it, but they still didn't say a word, Xie Yunmeng continued to raise his hand and knock on the door, and it wasn't until the third time that he heard the footsteps coming towards him.

The Lavender House killings at 7:15 a.m. the next morning

Fu Zhi, who was in a daze in the room, heard a knock on the door, his heart skipped a beat, he didn't know why he was so scared this morning, maybe it was not just because of those footprints on the bathroom and the wall and finger prints, but he couldn't think of any other reason.

When the knock on the door rang for the third time, Fu Zhi finally moved his steps and opened the door, there was a serious criminal police officer standing at the door, Fu Zhi didn't ask, just looked at Xie Yunmeng's eyes and waited for him to speak.

When An Lingxiang narrated, she naturally started talking about it yesterday afternoon, perhaps because of the guidance of Xie Yunmeng's question. An Lingxiang herself is a child-like woman who has nothing to speak of, in the face of such a huge fright, if she wants to say that she has a plan, no one who should be here will not believe it, including Xie Yunmeng.

In order not to interrupt the hostess's train of thought, Xie Yunmeng has been listening quietly and never asking questions unless necessary.

"Yesterday I spent most of the day in my room, and I didn't see anyone, but in the afternoon I watched them play cards for a while, and in about an hour, I went back to the Westroom. When I returned to Westinghouse, I wanted to go upstairs to reconcile with Xiao Zhi, but I didn't expect to meet him in the stairwell, and the two quarreled again. ”

"Later, Xiao Zhi went to the living room to help the maid with housework, and I went upstairs directly, and I didn't know what I wanted to do on the second floor of the Westinghouse? Probably just because I'm angry and don't want to go in the same direction as Xiao Zhi! But that's when something strange happened. ”

"I had just passed by the door of Xiao Zhi's room, and suddenly a person came out of the room and pulled me into the room."

When An Lingxiang said this, Fu Zhi walked out of the kitchen and asked, "You mean that someone entered my house yesterday evening?" ”

"Yes, it's the same Wu Xinghan you met with Liu Yunzhao last time," An Lingxiang responded, but she didn't know that her words made Xu Qing on the side stunned, Wu Xinghan This person Xu Qing also only heard his name but didn't see him, but he didn't expect Fu Zhi and Liu Yunzhao to know each other, who is he? Xu Qing moved forward curiously, listening carefully to An Lingxiang's continuation.

Xie Yunmeng did not ignore Xu Qing's reaction when he heard Wu Xinghan's name, Xu Qing would be so curious, at least it means that he also knows Wu Xinghan, so he has to pay attention to Xu Qing's every move.
