Chapter 234: Embroidery
"Okay. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" After Captain Wu finished speaking, he began to arrange the search work in full swing. It stands to reason that an old lady with unique conditions like Mu Sen said should be easy to find, but after two whole days of investigation, I didn't find such a rich strange old lady in this area.
For a time, the investigation reached an impasse. The elderly who meet the conditions of this age group are either not rich, or they are frail and sickly, and the rest are happy to live, full of children and grandchildren, and have a lovely wife by their side. There is no old man who lives alone like Mussen said, and he does not meet the profile requirements at all.
Captain Wu told Mu Sen the news and handed him all the information he could find. Mu Sen was convinced that his reasoning was correct this time, so he had to continue to search among the many materials investigated by Captain Wu, there must be something wrong, the strange old woman must be here, but she didn't know which way to hide it.
At the same time, Mo Zitong also made some progress in investigating the clothing. He called to tell Mu Sen that the clothes and fabrics on the corpse were not readily available. Including the beads and gems sewn on the dress, Mo Zidi checked every single one, and there were no clues. This means that the things are private, hers and not something she bought recently. A dress like that, each one requires a lot of fabric, and if it was bought, Mo Zitong would not have been able to find it.
Mu Sen was mentally prepared for such a result, so he asked Mo Zidi to come back quickly and go through a lot of information found by Captain Wu with him. It will take time to find the one who "stands out" among the hundreds of old ladies.
It took about another whole afternoon, Mu Sen stretched his waist, moved his sore body, and then said to Mo Zidi: "Could it be that there is something wrong with my judgment?" ”
"You have to believe, and believe that your profile is correct, so that you can help the police solve the case. If even you are shaken. How are they going to catch criminals according to your profile? Mo Zidi didn't look up, still looking through the information.
Mussen stood up, moved the activity and said, "I really want to believe that I can't make a mistake, but we have been looking at it for hours, and we have not found a completely qualified old woman. It made me no longer conceited. You say, could it be that she doesn't live alone? If you remove this condition of living alone. Then there is more than one situation here. ”
Mo Ziqi replied decisively after hearing this: "If any family can tolerate their old ladies using living people to make dolls, then they must also be accomplices." Unless it is the same metamorphosis, it is difficult to live in harmony. ”
"That means she must be living alone?" Mu Sen was a little dazed, none of these people who seemed to be eligible for the situation lived alone.
Mo Ziqi pulled out two pieces of information at this time and said: "To do such a thing, you need time and space to be alone. She couldn't have had an accomplice, and the two of them were chatting and embroidering such a cruel killing game. So she must have done it alone. If you look at these two documents, you can put aside the condition of living alone. They are the most perfect fit for the profile. ”
Mu Sen grabbed the two documents and looked at them. The first person was a woman surnamed Liu, aged 59, who lived in a suburban community with her paralyzed bedridden wife, and had spent her life as a female worker. Since her husband was paralyzed, she has rarely been seen coming out and walking. In his early years, he made a lot of money with his embroidery skills, and his wife was also a successful small businessman when she was young. Therefore, the life of this old couple is rich, and they meet the conditions of Mu Sen's "wealth".
Mu Sen said with interest: "Good embroiderer." Living a wealthy life, being in good health, and being able to take care of a paralyzed husband is really more eligible. Merely...... Is her husband also an accomplice? ”
Mo Ziqi didn't answer, but said to Mu Sen, "You move on to the next one." ”
The next piece of information is a woman surnamed Mu. He is 58 years old and lives with his sister. However, this sister was also paralyzed a year ago, and no one has seen her since, and I heard that the old woman was left to take care of it alone.
The old woman, surnamed Mu, was also a professional fabric tailor when she was young. And she is also very famous, she once imitated the dresses of Shanghai Tang, which made the whole town popular. It can be seen that her wealth ability is not ordinary. Moreover, this old woman once lived a life like a young lady, and after the death of her parents, she inherited all the property.
"I can make dresses and inherit a lot of inheritance, so it sounds like this is more qualified." Mussen pondered.
Mo Ziqi couldn't help but complain at this time: "You didn't notice what I wanted you to pay attention to at all. The biggest thing these two people have in common is that their families are paralyzed in bed, which means that no one can see the family members who are with them day and night. Whether there are people living together or not, no one can say. ”
Only then did Mu Sen understand what Mo Zidi meant, and hurriedly said with some excitement: "Then let's go and visit?" Go and see, everything will be clear. ”
Where did Mo Ziqi say that he moved Mu Sen, because before he could express his opinion, Mu Sen had already dressed and ran out of the door. There was no way, Mo Ziqi had to follow all the way.
They went to Liu's house first. Sure enough, from a distance, you can almost tell which is her home. There is a small courtyard in front of the door, which is full of green plants, and even flowers can be seen inside in such a season.
Mu Sen and Mo Zitong glanced at each other tacitly, these plants seemed to be more sure of some profiles, and the rest was just to look at the old lady and her husband who was paralyzed in bed.
Mu Sen stepped forward and knocked lightly on the courtyard door, and soon, a kind voice came from inside: "Who." ”
Out of the house was an old woman, she was wearing a light gray cardigan with a light sweater inside, elegant and clean, showing that she was particularly energetic. A short hair that is a little gray is permed into natural curls, and the skin is fair and radiant.
The old man walked to the gate of the courtyard, looked at Mu Sen and Mo Ziqi suspiciously, and then asked in a kind tone, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Excuse me, is it Ms. Liu?" Mussen looked serious. Mo Zitong, who was watching it, couldn't help but be stunned.
The old man nodded and said, "Yes, it's me." You ......"
Mu Sen straightened his back, showed a professional smile, and then said: "Hello, we are from the Municipal Bureau of Culture, and your embroidery back then was famous." Now we are planning to hold a small embroidery exhibition, and we are ready to invite you to participate. After all, there are not many people looking for such professional hand embroidery now. ”
Although Mo Zitong was silent on the surface, he was actually taken aback by Mu Sen's acting skills. This madman's lies really came with his mouth open, and he even came up with an excuse for the Cultural Affairs Bureau to hold an embroidery exhibition. And Mo Zitong is extremely convinced that Mu Sen probably hasn't come up with any good excuses at the moment when he knocked on the door just now.
The old man was also quite surprised, she probably didn't expect it. What kind of evil wind is blowing, and suddenly such news is blowing.
The old man was stunned for a moment, looked at Mu Sen's professional soft smile, and came back to his senses for a long time and said, "Ah...... I haven't touched embroidery for many years, so I don't know how I can help you. Come on, come in and sit down, and speak slowly. The old man was very kind and invited them in.
But such an amiable move made Mu Sen have little hope in the first place. It's even more determined. This old man is not a murderer.
Mussen's inference is not because the old man has a good attitude. It's her reaction, her performance. When he heard that Mu Sen was a member of the Cultural Bureau and was about to hold an embroidery exhibition, there were surprises, doubts, and a hint of surprise in the old man's eyes. Put it this way. She longs for and misses the mountains and rivers she once embroidered, stitches and threads. Such a person is not dark enough to sew a living doll with those skillful hands.
Moreover, it is impossible for ordinary murderers to let strangers enter the door easily. Not to mention. Or two men in the prime of life. This can easily lose control and expose one's actions.
But since he has already come in, Mu Sen should be idle talk. He sat on the sofa and watched as the old man served them tea very enthusiastically. Then he asked with some excitement: "Do you really want to hold an embroidery exhibition?" I really haven't heard of it...... I really didn't expect that at this age, I would still be remembered. ”
Mu Sen still smiled politely and said, "Your craftsmanship is high!" Do you still have your original embroidery at home? ”
was chatting, only to hear an equally kind old voice from inside: "Old lady, are we a guest?" ”
Mu Sen and Mo Zitong glanced at each other again, and it seemed that there was really an old gentleman in the ......
Mo Zidi's face was a little embarrassed, and he was glaring at Mu Sen vigorously, which meant that if he found the wrong person, he should withdraw quickly! Stop eating and drinking. But Mu Sen glanced at Mo Zitong, as if to say, even if the person he is looking for is wrong, he can also hear if they know a strange old lady who fits the profile.
In the gap between the two of them, the old lady had already pushed the old gentleman out. Mu Sen and Mo Ziqi hurriedly stood up and greeted politely. Mussen repeated the ridiculous reason for his visit that he had just said.
Although the old gentleman was in a wheelchair, he was in good spirits and looked very optimistic. When I heard that it was for my wife's manual work, I hurriedly asked Mu Sen and them to sit down and talk slowly.
In this way, the old couple enthusiastically talked about the things of their youth to Mu Sen and them, and also talked a lot about embroidery. It can be seen that the old couple is very affectionate, not like pretending.
Because during their conversation and interaction, Moussen's eyes never left them. When sitting together, the old lady pushes the wheelchair inward, that is, she wants her wife to face her as much as possible. It's a sign of care and love. If the relationship is not good, the relationship is not good, then naturally, the wheelchair should be slightly outward, as if sitting side by side. That's subconscious rejection.
When the old gentleman talked about his wife, his whole body was relaxed, his facial expression was gentle and happy, and there was no nervousness, disgust, or even the pain of his long-term confinement in a wheelchair. This proves that this old woman takes good care of this old gentleman. Such a family can't come out with murderers.
Ruling out suspicion, Mu Sen began to talk: "Ms. Liu, among the embroidery masters of the same period as you, are there any embroidery masters that you are impressed by?" As you know, it's not easy for us to hold an exhibition, we want to collect the masters of thirty or forty years ago and display the works of all ......"
The more Mu Sen said it, the more true it became, and even Mo Zidi, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but start to have some suspicions at this moment, the two of them were sent by the Cultural Affairs Bureau......
The old lady thought for a moment, then recalled, "There is one, but he died two years ago. She was four years older than me, and I used to call her sister back then. I have a lot of crafts, and she taught me them! If you want to say that you are alive and still living here, there may really be no ......."
Mu Sen was a little disappointed after hearing this, and the old man's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "No, no, no, there is another person, how did I forget her!" As he spoke, he gently patted his wife's hand and said, "Old man, look at my brain, people ask embroidery masters, I actually forgot Mu Huizhen." ”
When Mu Sen heard this, his mood immediately improved. Such a name, as soon as you hear it, you know that it is from several decades, and the surname is Mu, needless to say, it must be their second suspect! If you can find some clues here, it will be worth the trip!
When the old gentleman heard the old lady's words, he didn't seem to like this person very much, but he pursed his mouth and said, "There is no friendship, and it's normal that you can't remember." Besides, that person, who would dare to remember her, who would dare to remember her? ”
When Mu Sen heard this, he knew that he had come to the right place this time, and from the mouths of these two old men, he would definitely be able to ask some important clues.
The old lady slapped the old gentleman angrily at this time and reproached: "Don't talk nonsense, she is actually quite pitiful." ”
Mu Sen couldn't help it, and interjected and asked, "Is the one you are talking about the one who can imitate and make retro dresses on the beach in the first place?" ”
"It's her, it's her." The old man replied affirmatively.
"Can you tell us about her? You see, we are too young to know the story of those days. Mu Sen's sincere pleading expression was like a child begging for candy from his grandmother.
The old man sighed and said, "She was really born to do this. If you want to hold an exhibition, finding her work is the biggest attraction. In terms of craftsmanship, I feel like I'm too far behind. ”
When the old gentleman heard this, he hurriedly interjected and said, "Eh, I said old lady, don't you have bad ideas!" How can you get them to come to someone's door? Scare these two kids again! ”
At this time, Mu Sen's heart already counted, and the terrible doll murderer should be confirmed nine times out of ten. (To be continued.) )
