Shen Mian came back to his senses after hearing her voice, and smiled soothingly at her.

In the opposite room, she followed Yin Jinchuan and Wei Duo to go in and see it that day, and she was still very clear about the layout and situation inside. Even at the corner of the stairs separated from the wall of the room, there was nothing easy to get in and out of.

She had just thought about something else.

If the case that happened here is similar to the case of Qiao Jiaying's side, or even the kidnapping case of other people mentioned by Qiao Jiaying in this scenic spot, it is not the same.

According to Qiao Jiaying and the police investigation, the main reason why so many people were kidnapped without attracting greater attention is that most of those people are not locals, and their relationships with family or friends and colleagues are relatively delicate, in other words, even if they have been missing for a short time, they may not attract the attention of others.

That way, even if someone later finds out they're missing and calls the police, the perpetrators have enough time to make all sorts of preparations.

But when the little couple living opposite her woke up, nothing else happened except for the extra blood-colored characters on the wall.

If they're any different from the others, it's that they're two people, and they don't fit their choice of who they kidnap.

Shen Mian thought so and walked back to the corner of the corridor.

Due to the discovery of the previous homestay, You Nanxing and Wei Duo were checking in that room to see if there was a place connected to the outside corridor, and it was Xu Yizhou and another staff member who were exploring at the corner of the stairs at this time.

"Miss Shen......" Xu Yizhou heard the footsteps, turned his head and saw Shen Mian who was going downstairs.

Shen Mian nodded at him and asked softly, "Did you find anything?" ”

"Nope." Xu Yizhou stared at the wall, his brows furrowed. "There's only this big painting on the wall here, but when we removed it, we didn't find anything special on the back wall. Neither the wallpaper nor the connection of the walls to the ceiling and floor were unusual. ”

To be precise, this is just an ordinary wall, which doesn't match their previous suspicions.

"That's right......" she waved to them, telling them to go about their business and leave her alone.

She stared at the wall for a moment, and then suddenly turned her head to look at the opposite side of the wall.

There's also a corner sofa with no bookshelves on top of it, and casual books are on the edge of the sofa. On the wall is also a colorful landscape painting that complements the surrounding furnishings.

Shen Mian looked at the painting, reached out and took a relatively light book from the bookshelf next to him, opened it, flipped through it, and put it back. turned to Qiao Jiaying, who had been following him next to him, and asked, "Did you bring tissues?" ”

"Huh? Bring. ”

Although he didn't know what Shen Mian wanted tissues for, Qiao Jiaying still took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and handed it over.

Shen Mian pulled one out of it, unfolded it, and stretched it towards the painting, placing it on the edge of the frame, but it didn't touch the frame. She used a tissue to wrap around the edge of the frame, then downward.

It wasn't until she was close to the edge of the couch on the ground that the thin tissue in her hand moved slightly.

She reached out and tapped her knuckles on the back of the couch on the template, then crouched down and looked at the structure of the small piece of furniture.

Qiao Jiaying watched her movements with some puzzlement and didn't say a word.

She didn't quite understand what Shen Mian was doing, but she also knew that she shouldn't disturb her at such a time.

Suddenly, I saw Shen Mian stand up and say to Xu Yizhou behind him: "Please do me a favor, move this sofa away and take a look." ”

Xu Yizhou and his colleague on the side glanced at each other, and seemed to realize that she should have found something, so he reached out to push the sofa below, but after exerting force, he found that the sofa did not move at all.

"It's one?" Xu Yizhou observed it and came to a conclusion: "This should be nailed to the wall with the bookcase." ”

Shen Mian shook his head: "This back should be empty." The bottom of this wall corresponds to the landlord's storage room, or other spaces, as long as there is a door, there will be a gap, otherwise the door cannot be opened, the smaller the gap between the two different spaces, when the air flow is exchanged with each other, because of the pressure, it will be forced to pass quickly, resulting in faster air flow. You've probably heard of the 'narrow tube effect,' and the principle is similar to that. ”

Several people present looked at each other, the name was somewhat familiar, as if they understood, but they didn't seem to understand.

Qiao Jiaying reacted quickly: "So, there will be movement in the paper towel just now, because there is a wind blowing through the gap, and it is difficult for the human body to feel the weak air flow, but light and thin objects will be more susceptible?" ”

"Yes."

Shen Mian smiled as a sign of encouragement.

Qiao Jiaying, who had been affirmed, had a trace of blood on his originally pale face, and the whole person seemed to be a little more energetic.

So, everyone else's eyes focused on the painting and the sofa below.

"Did you find anything?" Wei Duo and You Nanxing walked down from the top of the stairs at this time.

Several people recounted what they had just discovered, and the two of them also focused their eyes on that direction, and also arranged for two people to go to the storage room and the outer wall below to see the situation.

Fortunately, there are corresponding professionals among them.

When the paintings and bookcase were dismantled, a small space for one person appeared in front of them.

Unlike before, when it was directly connected to the room on the other side of the wall, You Nanxing tentatively entered through this passage, turned a corner, and quickly retracted his body from inside.

"The connection over there is the place where the air conditioning cabinet is placed on the back wall of the B&B, and from there it should be directly out, next to the ladder used to repair the pipes on the same roof. If you look at it from the outside, you might be able to reach the balcony railings on both sides. You Nanxing told the structure he had just seen.

"What are these B&Bs trying to do?" Wei Duo's heart suddenly ignited with anger: "One or two rooms are like this......"

"That's up to everyone at the homestay." You Nanxing's face was obviously not good-looking.

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground that Shen Mian heard here should be the sound of someone jumping down from the entrance of the passage outside.

"By the way, how did you come up with the idea of looking at the wall over here? This direction is also inconsistent, huh? Wei Duo suddenly reacted and asked Shen Mian.

Shen Mian chuckled: "Because I suspect that the little couple who lived across from me at the time was actually not their original target, it was just a mistake." There's a good chance they're actually targeting me. ”

Perhaps it was because her expression was so relaxed that the people next to her thought for a moment that they had misheard her when they heard her say this.

"What did you say?" Wei Duo's volume increased a little.

Is her sister so unlucky...... No...... What's going on?

Shen Mian didn't realize how much of a bomb she had dropped on the people around her, because she was so calm, just like the person she said almost had an accident was not herself.

"I've been wondering what the hell the little couple across from me has to do with all these things. If you take it seriously, it is probably that they accidentally approached the place where those people were holding hostages before the Moon Worship Festival, and those people may not be at ease with the two of them, so they will do something similar to revenge, or it is to completely cover up their criminal behavior. ”

However, this inference is actually buggy.

Not to mention that the young couple themselves did not suffer any substantial harm, and they actually did not meet the standards of those people who kidnapped people. And it was really an unwise choice to write those words on the wall and lure the police in when there was no success in kidnapping them.

Unless, the other party's target was not the young couple from the beginning, and it was only when they wanted to kidnap someone at the end that they found out that there was an accident. The previous arrangement is irreversible. The cost of making mistakes is too great, so I can only choose to let them go. And scare them away.

Then there are not many customers in this B&B itself, if the little couple across the street is not their target.

The only person who can meet the other party's requirements is Shen Mian.

"Coming to the scenic spot alone, I am used to being alone, I have relatively little communication with other people, I am relatively independent, and I am a single woman, and my ability to resist is weak. No matter how you look at it, I actually quite fit the other side's standards. Shen Mian chuckled: "And ......"

She lengthened her voice a bit: "At the end of the police investigation in the opposite room, not long after I left, when I came back here, I found that someone had knocked on my door. Because a male voice suddenly appeared in my mobile phone, causing the other party to find out that something was wrong and leave quickly, when leaving, I saw his back downstairs, but when I looked at the door of the homestay, I didn't find anyone going out of the yard. ”

"That person at that time probably went out from here......

The knock on the door that day, Shen Mian also thought about it later.

It was probably Gu Hatzhi's sudden voice that made the other party mistakenly think that there was a man in the room with him, so he gave up knocking on the door and left quickly.

Otherwise, she is likely to have a face-to-face contact with the other person.

Of course, it's unclear who was unlucky in that contact, but it was true that the other party ran away without success.

"That person ......"

Wei Duo thought back to the events of the day, as if he remembered that Shen Mian had mentioned this matter.

It's just that when they investigated this homestay later, they didn't find anything abnormal, so they couldn't follow this clue to continue the investigation.

"That person actually just asked." Shen Mian added.

"Huh?"

"The handcuffed gentleman waiting outside should be the back I saw that day. Didn't he mention it when he was with you? Maybe your Captain Yin didn't find evidence for the time being, so he didn't let him tell him about it. Shen Mian glanced in the direction of the outside of the B&B.

From a distance, it seemed that the eyes of the people on the other side of the police car were in line with each other.

That day, after she helped Yin Jinchuan and them catch someone with a water bottle, when they took the person away, she felt that the person's back was a little familiar. It's the people of the village mentioned by the shop owner, but it seems to be more than that. After thinking about it, I suddenly realized that the back of the man was very similar to the back I saw at the staircase.

The handcuffed gentleman......

Well, it's almost time to name names!

Those present instantly understood what she meant.

So, You Nanxing used the walkie-talkie to talk to the colleagues at the door of the B&B and brought the man over. Because Qiao Jiaying's face was not good, Shen Mian still took her and sent her back to the police car temporarily.

When the young man passed by them, Shen Mian could clearly feel the other party's seemingly casual gaze.

There seemed to be more resentment in her eyes than before, probably because when she appeared here, the other party also realized that she was the guest who had stayed here in the first place.

Suddenly, Shen Mian felt that his sleeve was being tugged.

Turning his head to look at the girl next to him who was grabbing his sleeve: "What?" ”

I saw Qiao Jiaying's lips move slightly: "Sister Shen, I've seen that person before." ”

"Huh?" Shen Mian turned his head slightly, and used his afterglow to aim at the man's back.

Finding Qiao Jiaying's nervousness, she took the other party and got into the car she was in when she just came. It wasn't until she was cut off from the outside that she asked, "When have you seen him?" ”

"During the time I was locked up, he brought me food on an impromptu basis." Qiao Jiaying replied.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"No, I didn't recognize it at first, but when he passed by us, I can't mistake the mole under my left ear. He had actually only been here once. The reason why I was so impressed with him was because I was thinking of a way to escape during that time, and he suddenly walked in with a curse, and his mouth did not stop from the beginning of coming in to leaving, saying how to let him do such a job as delivering food......"

"The other guards were very quiet and didn't usually talk to us, probably because they were afraid that too much contact with us would give us a chance to escape or something. He was scolded by the man who was there because he was still at the door. So I was very impressed with him. ”

Qiao Jiaying said while reminiscing.

"Sister Shen, if I can testify and catch him, will I be able to catch that group of people? And also...... And my aunt's side......"

Qiao Jiaying said, his fingers involuntarily touching his pocket.

The bank card that I had just received was lying quietly inside.

Do you want to hate it? I'll see you tomorrow~
