Chapter 2 The cuckoo weeps blood

Before Lu Jingfei had time to respond to Zheng Chunchun's question, King Kong, a member of the team who searched the perimeter of the villa, came back and reported: "Team Lu, the rainstorm is too heavy, and there are no traces of climbing over the walls or prying windows around the Longteng Villa. ”

Lu Jingfei's eyebrows frowned slightly, the murderer should have done it after Zhou Legend reported the case, the time from the arrival of the forbidden case team at the scene was so hasty, if the murderer was a professional killer, or a person with medical training, then his psychological quality must be very good, and it was possible to escape the scene in such a short time.

Of course, we can't ignore any of the possibilities that exist, the murderer may still be hiding in the Longteng Villa, and immediately called the team member Li Chongyang to conduct a detailed search of the villa.

Zhou Legend and Wang Fang's villa is a three-story building, with a four-bedroom and two-living room layout up and down, and the villa is very organized.

Lu Jingfei observed carefully on the first floor, there were two bedrooms that should be guest rooms, and the other two were rooms with miscellaneous items.

Suddenly, there was a faint sweet fragrance that diffused into Lu Jingfei's nose, it seemed to be the smell of flowers, and the eyes stopped looking at the hall, next to the guest room, there was a pot of gorgeous azaleas on an antique mahogany coffee table, the flowers were full of flowers, vibrant, and it seemed that they had just been carefully trimmed.

Rhododendron has the legend of crying blood in ancient times, the rhododendron screams day and night and coughs blood, and the flowers that dye red all over the mountain are named azaleas. Rhododendron stems and leaves are also poisonous, and even nectar can be poisoned if ingested.

Wang Fang and Zhou Legend's taste is really different, not only is there a large number of azaleas planted in the courtyard of the villa, but even the bedrooms are placed with azaleas.

It is known that in some parts of China, azaleas can only be planted in cemeteries, and Lu Jingfei has the impression that there are rhododendrons all over the mountains in the Nanshan Cemetery in Nanzhou City.

Lu Jingfei unconsciously glanced sideways at the courtyard of the villa, and the gorgeous azaleas in the courtyard seemed to be gasping for breath in pain in the rainstorm.

The torrential rain made the marble floor of Longteng Villa unusually damp, which brought great difficulties to the on-site trace detection, and after Lu Jingfei encouraged the team members, he took the middle-aged woman into a clean room.

"Tell me about you?" Lu Jingfei's tone was very gentle, and his gentle voice was not at all like his tough appearance.

The middle-aged woman looked at Lu Jingfei with frightened eyes, as if she didn't know where to start, until Lu Jingfei poured her a glass of warm water, she subconsciously showed an embarrassed look, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, officer, you are a guest, pouring water should be my business." ”

"Eldest sister, don't be nervous, I know you were frightened by the scene at the scene of the crime, let's take it slowly, tell me what your name is first, you should be working in Longteng Villa, right? How did you find Zhou Legend's body? ”

The middle-aged woman rubbed her hands and said slowly: "My name is Wang Guihua, and I am the nanny of Longteng Villa. This morning, when I went grocery shopping and came back, I went to the kitchen to wash vegetables as usual, and found that Mr. Zhou was dead, and there was still a human head floating in the fish tank. ”

"Then why didn't you call the police?"

"I was frightened, I didn't listen to the call on both legs, I couldn't move my feet at all, my mind was blank, I didn't think of calling the police for a while, I came back to my senses and the first thought was to call someone, and I just went out and saw the police coming."

"Didn't you live in the villa?"

Wang Guihua shook her head and said: "After I got up from home at half past six in the morning, I first went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and then came to the villa, cooked, cleaned, and then prepared lunch, rested for two or three hours in the afternoon, made dinner, washed up, and went home to sleep. ”

Lu Jingfei raised his hand, looked at his watch and said: "You seem to be a little late today, Zhou Legend reported to the police at 7:40, and the time of death was about 7:40 and 8 o'clock, you said that you got up at 6:30 and lived five minutes away near Longteng Villa, the time to buy vegetables plus the time to and from the villa will not exceed an hour, why did you come to the villa after Zhou Legend's death, that is, after 8 o'clock?" When you make breakfast, it's not too early for breakfast. ”

"Maybe I'm unlucky today, I got up at the same time as usual, went to buy good vegetables early, and on the way back, I remembered that I forgot to go to the paper store to buy the pluto charm, so I went back, but I was hit by a hairy Yang Cheng, and my arm was bleeding, fortunately, Yang Cheng is an acquaintance, and he still has some conscience, and he took me to the hospital to bandage, so it was so late to delay." Wang Guihua sighed, rolled up her sleeves, and sure enough, there was a white gauze wound on her left arm, and red blood stains were oozing from the wound.

Lu Jingfei was a little suspicious: "What do you do when you buy a spell?" ”

"Today is the Midyear Festival, and Madame said let me buy some of her usefulness."

Lu Jingfei is still puzzled, it is a folk tradition to worship the ancestors of ghosts and gods on the Midyear Festival, and it is understandable to buy some dark coins, but why buy charms? After thinking for a moment, Lu Jingfei didn't ask deeply, and changed the topic and asked, "What kind of people are Zhou Legend and Wang Fang?" ”

Wang Guihua's eyes moistened, and her voice was a little sad: "Mr. Zhou and his wife, they are very good people, unlike those rich guys in our village. Mr. Zhou rarely had time to eat at home, and when he saw me, he nodded and smiled, without too many words. Mrs. is a good person, not much to say, but kind-hearted, every New Year's holiday, will send me some things, buy gifts for my children during the New Year's Festival, buy clothes, let me take the children to Nanzhou to play. ”

Lu Jingfei's eyebrows frowned slightly, thinking that he didn't see any items related to children in the villa, and asked, "Do they have no children?" Is the relationship between husband and wife also bad? ”

Wang Guihua nodded and said: "Mr. Zhou does not have children, I have been a nanny here for two years, the husband and wife are indifferent to each other, a little polite, and have never quarreled, nor are they as close as ordinary husband and wife, how can there be children in this way, I don't understand, so rich, I should raise a few more children, people in their thirties are not in a hurry, I persuaded Mrs., Mrs. always smiled and did not answer me, I was embarrassed to ask again." ”

"Zhou Legend and Wang Fang were in the period before they died, was there anything abnormal?"

Wang Guihua thought for a while and said: "It's still the same as before, a week ago, Mr. Zhou was on a business trip, and Mrs. was still reading books at home as usual, pruning and pruning the flowers and plants in the yard." ”

"Flowers and plants? Are the azaleas in the yard Wang Fang's favorite? ”

"Yes, Madame likes azaleas the most, and it is the season of flowers recently, so Madame asks me to cut some flower branches every day and put them in the living room."

"Did you put the azaleas on the mahogany coffee table in the living room today?"

"No, I come to the villa every day at about 7 o'clock, and the first thing I do is to cut some flowers and branches for Madame, and Madame arranges flowers and prunes them herself."

Today, Wang Guihua did not send azalea branches to Wang Fang, Wang Fang's death time was around 2 o'clock in the morning, in the middle of the night, Wang Fang should not get up to cut the flower branches, and then prune them themselves and put them on the coffee table.

Could it be that those flower branches were put by the murderer? This murderer is really emotional.

"Are there any other servants in the villa?" In order to confirm his guess, Lu Jingfei asked again.

"I'm in charge of cooking, and there's a security guard named Zhao Chuan, who usually does some hard work."

The torrential rain seemed to have abated somewhat, and the sound of King Kong's scolding came from the courtyard of the villa, and there seemed to be the sound of pushing and shoving.
