Chapter 668: The Oath in the Ice and Snow Act Twenty-Six
So, what kind of person is Bai Zhi? Is he related to the murderer? Is it the murderer himself? These questions should be included in our thinking.
As for Xu Qing and Bai Yun, they didn't feel right from the beginning, the woman was too strong, and the man was not a cowardly person, just a temporary trend towards the flames, and we can see from Xu Qing's attitude towards Bai Yun that he actually looked down on this woman from the bottom of his bones. Therefore, the future of the couple is worrying.
The third pair is An Lingxiang, the hostess of the lavender villa, and Fu Zhi, the boyfriend who manages the villa for him, these two people also make people feel unspeakably awkward, An Lingxiang is as willful as a child, and she can't do anything. In layman's terms, it is a little princess whose body has grown up, but her heart has not grown, such a girl, any man who stays with her for a long time will not be able to stand it.
But Fu Zhi has strangely lived with her for many years, and we can feel from Fu Zhi's psychological activities that he still loves An Lingxiang deeply, is this really the case? Is there really a man who will patiently guard love to such an extent? No one can guess about feelings, so we can only wait for the moment when the truth is revealed.
There is also the last couple, in fact, whether this pair can be counted, whether it is a couple or a husband and wife, is currently all in speculation, the only basis is only the dialogue between Wen Yuan and Canglu Lu, Wen Yuan wants to persuade Canglu Lu to accept Xu Qing, indicating that these two people have feelings, but Canglu Lulu's response is very strange, she linked her relationship with Xu Qing and Wen Yuan's past, why is this?
What about Xie Yunmeng himself? Now that things have developed to this point, Mr. Criminal Police has to be patient and start to communicate with everyone, too serious is not conducive to observing and protecting them, so Xie Yunmeng chatted with the girls while looking for an opportunity to be alone with the male owner of the Lavender Villa.
The hostess looked like a child who didn't know anything about the world, and if she communicated with her, she probably wouldn't get much help, and Xie Yunmeng learned from Wen Yuan that everything in the Lavender Villa was handled by the male owner, and he should be able to communicate more easily.
In between speaking, Xie Yunmeng casually asked Fu Zhi: "Mr. Fu, there seems to be a problem with the telephone line here, do you have any tools and extra telephone lines, I will check and repair it with you later." ”
Fu Zhi was cleaning up the dishes on the table at the moment, and when he heard Xie Yunmeng's question, he raised his head and said, "We don't use the phone much, even college students who often come to rent in spring and autumn don't use the phone here, so there is no spare phone line, and there are no repair tools." ”
"Then I'll use the old wires to connect it later, and see if I can get it through." Xie Yunmeng said.
Fu Zhi only responded: "Then I'll trouble you, Officer Xie." He immediately went to the kitchen with the dishes.
When it comes to the college students who come here to rent in spring and autumn, Xie Yunmeng is very interested in this, and he asked Wen Yuan beside him: "Are there many college students who come here to rent every year?" ”
"Probably, you have to ask Xiangxiang specifically." Wen Yuan threw the topic to An Lingxiang, the hostess who was next to Mr. Criminal Police with an excited face.
At this moment, An Lingxiang was like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, her face was flushed, and she kept staring at Xie Yunmeng, not caring about the eyes of others. She said: "Actually, Xiao Zhi and I are both people who like to be quiet, and the lavender villa is not conspicuous, and few people know about it, let alone ask to come and live." Because in the past two or three years, the family is not enough, in the case of no way, Xiao Zhi came up with the idea of letting college students come here at a specific time every year to rent a house, winter and summer is definitely not possible, only spring and autumn can barely be. ”
"What?" Fu Zhi didn't understand what he meant.
"I can't touch any dust on the windowsill where I haven't cleaned all the time, I'm afraid it's all blown away by the wind!"
"This ...... Is that so? But I used to think that the windowsill here was very gray! Fu Zhi's face was incredible, he stepped down from the top of the stairs in a few steps, and reached out to touch the window frame, and sure enough, the window sill was quite clean.
This time, the man was a little puzzled, he tilted his head and said to Xie Yunmeng: "Xiangxiang always complains that the windowsill here is full of dust, and now it has become clean, it's really strange." ”
"Could it be that the maid cleaned it when she was leaving?" Xie Yunmeng asked him.
"It's impossible, I cleaned the house by myself today, and the maid only did the work of buying and washing vegetables." Fu immediately denied it.
Xie Yunmeng carefully observed his reaction, and from the outside, this person didn't look like he was lying. So Mr. Criminal Police didn't say more, and took the lead to walk up the stairs, and Fu Zhi followed him with a puzzled expression.
In fact, Xie Yunmeng also saw some traces of friction on the windowsill, although there were no footprints, but it was certain that someone must have turned out from here before, so he wiped the dust off the windowsill, he just tested the male owner a little, maybe the manager of the lavender villa really didn't know anything!
The thought in their hearts was not over, and the two of them came to the corridor on the second floor, which was a very narrow corridor, almost all surrounded by white, only two lilac doors were inlaid on the wall, and near the entrance was the room where Xie Yunmeng and Wen Yuan had just stayed, and there was one inside that did not need to be introduced by Fu Zhi, Xie Yunmeng could also know that it was the hostess's room.
The corridor was cleaned very clean, and there was hardly a footprint on the floor, Xie Yunmeng asked, "Mr. Fu, which room is the telephone in?" ”
A corpse is likely to become two, this information Mo Haiyou immediately called the police station to report this information, and the forensic doctor over there immediately began to work, and soon, the preliminary results were conveyed back by phone, and the person in charge of the homicide confirmed the guess of Yun Yeyao and Mo Haiyou on the phone.
Mo Haiyou's time in the warehouse was relatively short, and except for the superficial wounds, he didn't pull the whole body out to see. He listened carefully to the detailed description of Liu Yun's corpse on the phone, especially the description of the connection between his shoulder and body, and gradually, Mo Haiyou's gray brain cells began to concentrate.
The more detailed the description on the phone, the deeper his doubts about the situation of Liu Yun's corpse became, but before the autopsy, Mo Haiyou had no way to deduce many things, so after the words on the other end of the phone receiver came to an end, he immediately said: "Don't do the autopsy first, when I come back, there may be more corpses here I want to bring back." ”
"What? And more corpses? A stunned voice immediately came from the other side, "Could it be that there was another homicide?" ”
"It can be regarded as it, but this time it's not a human, it's an animal, I found a black cat corpse near my side, there may be more, I think the way these animal corpses died, and Liu Yun's corpse died in some places, although it's still unclear, but after coming back to dissect and compare, everything will be clear."
"Oh well! We'll send the body back to the freezer first and wait for you to get back. ”
"I'll be back in the afternoon, and I'll be dissected overnight tonight." Mo Haiyou said: "However, I hope that Xiao Yao can also participate in the autopsy, because some of his analytical reasoning can help us find more clues." ”
"We won't discuss the reason why she did this now, to sum up, Liu Yun may not know snake venom at all, and she has never raised poisonous snakes, she has been using cats as test subjects since a month ago, Xiao Zuo, how many doses of various toxins can be lethal, and can keep the surface from showing too obvious traces, you know this much better than me."
In order to fully express the fact that the murderer wanted to kill people with snake venom and didn't want people to find out too soon, she must have killed more than one cat, and the failures of other experiments may have been buried or discarded by her. And plucking the hair from the black cat's body is not only so that we can see the kitten's skin clearly, but also so that he can determine how effective the experiment is. ”
"If the murderer had done these things, he would not have left us any detectable clues in the house, and he would not have killed the black cat so many days in advance. Besides, since he wanted to delay the discovery of the truth about Liu Yun's death, how could he leave a similar black cat corpse in this room? To use the simplest analogy, positive and negative can only be negative, and negative can always be positive. ”
"One camouflage thing can temporarily blind our vision, but two camouflage things can only say that the murderer is debunking his own tricks, Xiao Zuo, you see, didn't we find the corpse of the black cat, and immediately knew the hidden connotation? Therefore, this corpse may only be left by Liu Yun, and we can only find more cat corpses from the surrounding area, and it is impossible to find any poisonous snakes. ”
"That's true." Mo Haiyou said: "Xiao Yao, there is another point, the reason why the black cat will be placed for more than a month is because someone deliberately wants to let it rot, and the corpse spots produced after poisoning are not the same as ordinary corpse spots, most of them will be red, and there are also gray-brown, Liu Yun cannot kill the black cat at the same moment when he is in danger, and the corpse will appear within 5 to 6 hours after death, and then last for about 6 to 12 hours." ”
"Liu Yun can't let us see the corpse spots, because when we see the corpse spots, we will immediately find that the black cat was poisoned and died, so she will not be able to fully express the murderer's thoughts to us. So her only option was to let the corpse completely decompose, and let the corpse spots disappear completely. ”
"The murderer may have to delay 5 to 6 hours before the formation of corpse spots, the reason why he scratched another corpse as Liu Yun's body is incomplete, is also to cover up the corpse spots produced after poisoning, and Liu Yun's face and shoulders, in order to let us determine the identity, he can't destroy it, as long as Liu Yun herself appears corpse spots, she will immediately find out that she did not die of poisoning, and the part of the body below that does not belong to her, it is easy to find out the cause of death."
Talking about the shortcomings of his lover, and when he says it, it feels very casual.
Xie Yunmeng didn't say that this was not okay, but he felt that there was something missing here, such as the problem that a little girl had pointed out to herself many years ago, and now Mr. Criminal Police still remembers it very clearly, she said that she only likes and respects Xiaoxiao, and is far inferior to Yun Yeyao's attitude towards this friend. (At that time, Xie Yunmeng and Yun Yeyao had not yet determined the relationship between the two parties)
Now Xie Yunmeng seems to feel the same mood as the little girl back then, Fu Zhi seems to be just taking care and doing his duty, if you want to say that he doesn't like An Lingxiang, then it is absolutely impossible to be by her side for so many years, but when it comes to love, Xie Yunmeng feels that he really doesn't feel it.
However, he and Fu Zhi have only known each other for about a long time, so they don't dare to take their feelings as facts to determine, so they can only express them with the word awkward!
After thinking about it, Xie Yunmeng still couldn't come up with more things, he was a man of action, not suitable for a large period of thinking and reasoning, so Mr. Criminal Police briefly cleaned himself up and decided not to sleep tonight, go to the Westinghouse for a walk, and see who has weird behavior!
He has always pretended in his heart that Liu Yunzhao made the same provocative phone call to them at the beginning, and went to Westinghouse to a large extent to protect those who live here, and since he has arrived, he must do his best not to let the murder happen again.
Xie Yunmeng glanced at his watch, the time was already past 9 o'clock in the evening, he moved the single sofa in the room to the door, and then the whole person sat on it and closed his eyes to recuperate, listening to the voice of the person Fu Shu coming back, as long as the male owner of this house entered the room, Xie Yunmeng would sneak out.
He didn't want to climb the window, although it wasn't difficult for him, but this east house was occupied by him and Fu Zhi tonight, and he could get out of the door smoothly, why did he bother to go through the window? Xie Yunmeng didn't want to waste this strength.
Time passed minute by minute, and the male owner did not return for a long time, during which Xie Yunmeng secretly poked his head out to look at it a few times, the corridors and corridors were very quiet, and there was no sound at all. By half-past ten, Xie Yunmeng didn't want to spend any more, so he stood up and moved the sofa back to its place, and then walked out of the door.
Mo Haiyou also said that Liu Yun has lavender tidbits on his body, and it is possible to raise them in the lavender flower field when he reads, thinking of this, Xie Yunmeng temporarily gave up the idea of entering the house, he wanted to search in the lavender flower first, at least a small place near the house.
Even if you can't find a poisonous snake or lizard, if they do, you'll be crawling on the dirt. Mr. Detective, who was familiar with the search work, plunged headlong into the lavender field and soon disappeared. And he got into the same place where someone had thrown something before.
The damp and fluffy soil stained the upper of the leather shoes, and even some of the socks that stuck to Mr. Detective, he opened the lavender branches little by little, and carefully observed on the ground, although he was looking for traces of reptiles moving, but the garbage on the soil Xie Yunmeng did not let go, every time he saw one, Xie Yunmeng would pick it up and confirm it.
He hasn't forgotten about the missing phone, if he can find the phone at the same time, it would be a good thing, at least it proves that An Lingxiang quarreled with her boyfriend and threw things This stalk is not necessarily a lie!
After about ten minutes, Xie Yunmeng's eyes were attracted by something black, shaped like a shoe, but the color was basically completely unclear, not only was it covered with dirt, but there was also a lot of disgusting yellow-green slime, mixed with the dirt, and it looked like vomit.
Xie Yunmeng took out a glove from his trouser pocket, put it on and picked it up, then he picked up a broken flower branch from the ground, scraped off the dirt and slime that stuck to its surface little by little, and the thing in his hand was a men's leather shoe, and there seemed to be something in the belly of the shoe.
Xie Yunmeng reached out and dug into the belly of his shoe, pulling out a few pieces of broken eggshells and a large handful of blue-yellow liquid, which covered the entire glove. It seems to be an egg laid by a snake, and it was broken and eaten shortly after it was laid.
The detective wasn't sure if his judgment was correct, but this discovery could already prove that there were definitely some unusual animals living in this lavender field. This shoe has to find a way to hide it first, and maybe it can be a piece of evidence later.
The old man let out a scream that was in his throat, then covered his mouth and fell backwards into the threshold, and the cardboard box that was still in his hand was thrown far away, and some of the contents rolled into the middle of the road, and part of it was covered by the turned cardboard box underneath.
What he saw in front of him was so terrifying that the old man's face turned pale with fright, and his whole body trembled like chaff, and he couldn't say a word for a long time. Fortunately, there was an alley in front of his house, and at the moment, probably the neighbors were taking a nap, and no one walked through the alley.
Finally reacted, Wu Weiyun knew that if he let this thing stay in the middle of the road, he would not be able to speak clearly, so he endured nausea and fear, stood up tremblingly, and wanted to walk over and put the things on the ground back into the cardboard box.
But he could not have had the courage to pick it up again, and after hesitating in the middle of the road for a long time, the old man almost fainted, but he still did not dare to reach out and touch the thing on the ground. The leisurely mood just now has been swept away at this moment, and instead of the feeling of fire in the heart and brain, Wu Weiyun began to feel dizzy, he didn't know what he was going to do!
The sudden fear, like a bomb falling from the sky, blew up Wu Weiyun's thoughts and brought him a lot of trouble......
——
On the afternoon of the first day of the lavender villa murder, the Pinglong Public Security Bureau on the outskirts of the city
"Xiaodong, there is a homicide case in the old residential area of Wuxing Road on the outskirts of the city, you should immediately bring someone over to investigate now." Mi Xiaodong, who was studying the clues of the murder incident that Xie Yunmeng and they had just encountered in the police station, suddenly received a call from the director.
Without saying a word, he took a police officer and set off towards Wuxing Road. Xie Yunmeng doesn't take him with him to solve the murder incident now, Mi Xiaodong feels very wronged, it turns out that when he was Xie Yunmeng's deputy with Mei Xiaoxiao, which case did he pull down? It's good now, if you have a lover, you forget your friends, and Mi Xiaodong can only hide and sulk alone.
Starting from the staircase, the three rooms on the right are occupied by the hostess's boyfriend, Xu Qing, and Bai Yun, and the two rooms on the left are occupied by Wen Yuan and Canglulu.
Walking through all the guest rooms, there is a purple door at the bottom of the corridor, the key to this door has been inserted in the keyhole all the year round, but no one has been in for many years, including the hostess herself, the key and the keyhole have rusted, and if you want to open it now, it is estimated that there will be some difficulties.
It was supposed to be a warehouse, piled with old things from the hostess's parents, and there was neither perishable food nor valuable furniture that could make people care, so it was normal not to be noticed, and it was estimated that there was nothing special, and no one would think of opening it for many years.
That's pretty much all for the Westinghouse, and I don't think I need to waste space on the detailed and specific descriptions of the house or rooms that have nothing to do with the homicide. And those places that are linked to homicides, when the incident happens, I will add them in detail one by one.
——
At first, the man could sit quietly on the edge of the bed, but when he heard the girl's cry, he immediately couldn't sit still, stood up and paced around the room, and the whole person felt extremely irritable and restless. It seemed as if the cry was a warning to him that he might lose something.
The man could not bear to lose, just as in the past, the objects left to him by his parents, no matter how small, he pinned deep feelings, and now, for the sake of the people he loved, he wasted everything and abandoned it. So the emotion gradually shifted to this lavender villa.
Several times, the man's fingertips were about to touch the doorknob, but the man timidly retracted his hand, not because he didn't want to go downstairs, but because he didn't know what words to use to comfort, each comfort would be exchanged for more willfulness, and this willfulness brought him great pressure.
"Xiao Zuo, do you remember those painted frames on the windowsill of the warehouse?" Yun Ye Yao asked Mo Haiyou, who was driving.
Because his mind was attracted by Xie Yunmeng's question, Mo Haiyou simply parked the car slowly on the side of the road, and then replied: "The painting on the windowsill looks like the wooden frame and the picture are normal, no different from ordinary oil paintings. ”
"Yes, and when I touched those paintings, I found that the back was indeed a wooden board, not the cardboard that Xiao Meng said." After Yun Yeyao finished speaking, he immediately asked Xie Yunmeng: "Xiao Meng, are the frames of all the oil paintings in front of you now remodeled from photo frames?" ”
"I guess, I've demolished a lot of them, and they're all the same."
Mo Haiyou asked: "Xiao Yao, do you mean that in the entire warehouse, only those paintings on the windowsill have not been moved, and they are specially let us see by the murderer, right?" ”
Not really, what clues are hidden in those paintings? I'm not sure that the person who put them on the windowsill could be the murderer, or the third person I'm talking about. ”
"Why not Liu Yunzhao?" Mo Haiyou continued to ask.
"It can't be Liu Yunzhao, if he wants to provide us with some clues, he can secretly hint when he contacted us before, there is no need to risk anything in the warehouse! This makes it easy for the murderer to find out. ”
"Another point is that if Liu Yunzhao really wants to leave paintings on the windowsill to hint at us, then he will definitely leave his fingerprints behind the drawing board or in an inconspicuous place on the windowsill, because the warehouse is full of oil paintings, and if we are a little negligent, we may not find the special features of those paintings on the windowsill."
"You're saying that the person who painted the graffiti might be implying that our Lavender Villa is in a nearby township and there's no need to go back to the city to find it, right?" Xie Yunmeng asked.
Yun Yeyao replied: "I can only say that there is this possibility, it is really difficult to determine anything now, this case happened too suddenly, and the reasoning and speculation made are also very limited, and I can't think of anything more." ”
Hearing this, Xie Yunmeng threw the cardboard and canvas that he was tearing in his hand to the floor, and said on the other end of the phone: "I prefer that the four identities you just mentioned are all played by the same person, and this person is most likely Mr. Wu's daughter's boyfriend." Xiao Yao, you said that the person who used his hands and feet on the painting may have changed from a hater to a victim, and my understanding of this sentence is that the murderer took advantage of the hero of the car accident. ”
If this is really the case, after the original owner of the warehouse left, maybe there were only a few blank drawing boards and some discarded tools left in the warehouse, and these just brought a little comfort to the sad and depressed people, so the man who did not find the perpetrator chose to live in the warehouse. But soon after, the murderer and Liu Yunzhao may have conspired about something, and also paid attention to the unused warehouse, and Liu Yunzhao may have been interested in the benefit from the beginning. ”
But in reality, he was just a pawn in the murderer's plan, and he had long been set to be discarded. They happened to meet a man who was drawing in a warehouse, assuming that the murderer happened to know the truth about the car accident, so they used this as a condition to let the man who was eager for revenge help him kill him, and then ......"
"No, Xiao Meng!"
Yun Yeyao interrupted Xie Yunmeng's words, which made Mr. Criminal Police a little irritated, and he asked, "Why is it wrong?" This is just an assumption, and you can't completely rule out the possibility that it exists, Xiao Yao, and the premise of this possibility is that you put it forward. ”
"Xiao Meng, I mean, maybe the first person to make a deal with the murderer was not Liu Yunzhao, but the hero of the car accident, the place where the car accident happened was far away from the location of the warehouse, but Liu Yunzhao's residence was in the same community as the warehouse, to say that Liu Yunzhao and the murderer found this unmanned warehouse and used it, it is very likely. But how could the hero of a car accident be so coincidental? How about running far away to discover this warehouse? ”
"But Lulu, you and I are originally close in temperament and personality, and there is nothing wrong with us talking in ordinary times. At least it won't be like you just did, snorting and disgusting.
"Sister Wen, I didn't learn to snort, I just wanted to be a little shy, like you." Canglulu hurriedly explained that she didn't want to affect the friendship because of such a trivial matter.
Wen Yuan is the kind of person who is extremely consistent with the outside and the inside, she is beautiful, gentle, and elegant, and her tone of behavior is always three points shy, and her heart often maintains seven points of wisdom. But on the other hand, Canglu Lu is obviously the same inside, but her appearance really can't make people guess her gentleness and wisdom, and many people will think that this is a willful and rude girl before they see her for the first time.
Therefore, Canglu Lu wants to learn the three points of shyness that Wen Yuan brings, but the appearance and temperament are not something that can be learned if you want to, so when those three points of shyness go to Canglu Lu, it becomes a 'goosebump'!
Usually this little girl never does this, but she probably didn't wake up today, or she would have gone out for a walk with her. Wen Yuan thought in her heart, Canglu Lulu's abnormal behavior had eliminated most of her sleepiness, and at this moment, she was very willing to go out for a walk.
The two women held hands and walked towards the gate of the lavender villa, Xu Qing and Yong Yu's eyes kept following Wen Yuan's windy and snowy back, and they were not willing to leave for a long time.
Yong Poppy is nothing, and he doesn't have a girlfriend anyway. But Xu Qing was different, Bai Yun next to him looked at her boyfriend's straight eyes, couldn't hold it back, and asked Xu Qing loudly: "Hey! What are you always looking at Sister Wen for?! ”
Bai Yun and Canglu Lu are not the same on the outside, one seems to be strong on the outside, but the heart is full of the tenderness of a little woman. The other has a gentle and lovely appearance, but hides a short-tempered heart.
I don't know how long I stood in the middle of the room, looking at the man outside the window and retracting his gaze, now is the time when he should arrange for night work, the maid has to leave work at half past five, and the man basically does it for dinner, so, I want to go and see how the ingredients are prepared? Also, the lavender bouquet that needs to be shipped tomorrow morning should also be prepared.
Sighing again, the man was used to this method of relieving the stuffiness in his heart, and his breath seemed to be full of sighs, with a heaviness.
He did not go directly to the door, but walked to the windowsill, as if looking for something, and the man carefully examined the windowsill and the window frame, his eyes swept every inch until he felt at ease, and then turned and walked towards the door.
He didn't close the windows or close the curtains, letting the wind blow the paper and thin things in the room, and soon disappeared into the private space that was still his.
In the empty room, it was unusually cold, except for the wind, everything else was either static or passively flying, and none of them had their own vitality. The pen on the table slowly rolled down to the ground, and the moment the pen made contact with the ground, blue-black ink splattered out towards the place where the wind entered.
"Cut! Dirty! A small complaint entered the room, and I don't know when a strange man straddled the windowsill, and he was looking inside with disdain.
The ink splattered right on the edge of his trouser legs, and even the white socks were there, and the man easily entered the room, picked up the cracked pen on the floor and looked at it, it was a cheap pen, worn and old, and everywhere showed the shabby owner of the pen.
