Chapter 33: The Dead Mansion

The temperature in the afternoon was unbearable, and the two of them squatted motionless among the flowers for a long time, sweating all over their bodies, and from time to time wild bees, flies, mosquitoes and other insects hovered around. In order to avoid revealing their whereabouts, the two had to grit their teeth and let these insects bite freely.

Just when Song Yu was about to hold on, Qin Xiaoman opened the door of the villa and walked out in a graceful manner.

The two hid among the flowers and peeked in, only to see Qin Xiaoman's white and tender cheeks smeared with a faint fat powder, and a crimson lip gloss on her lips, and then she was wearing a cool white lace dress, carrying a Chanel handbag on her left shoulder, and wearing a pair of Hermes women's flat sandals at her feet.

After Qin Xiaoman walked away, Han Jiangxue couldn't help but complain to Song Yu: "You see that she is dressed up in a fancy way, she must be going on a date with her boyfriend!" ”

Song Yu agreed noncommittally: "Maybe, but don't say it, Qin Xiaoman's dress like this has become even more attractive, her devilish figure is simply uncontrollable when she wears a dress!" ”

After hearing this, Han Jiangxue couldn't help but reach out and grab Song Yu's ear, and said with jealousy: "When I rest next time, I will also dress up like this, and see who is more attractive!" ”

As soon as Han Jiangxue let go, Song Yu rubbed her ears and stared at Han Jiangxue's towering chest with a wicked smile: "Hey, hey, of course Jiang Xue is more tempting." ”

“......”

Han Jiangxue was speechless for a while, pretending to sulk, quickly burrowed out of the flowers, and patted the cobwebs stuck to her hair and face with her hands.

Song Yu walked out after her, and the two stood outside the gate of the villa, cautiously looking around, confirming that there was no monitoring probe installed at the door, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Jiang Xue, don't you think it's strange? Normally, such a luxurious villa should have a surveillance camera installed at the gate, even if a thief breaks in, it can also take images at the first time to help the police solve the case. ”

Han Jiangxue didn't quite agree with Song Yu's point of view, and immediately replied: "Your statement is too absolute, as far as I know, some owners of luxury houses don't like to install surveillance because they feel that they may leak their privacy." ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw Song Yu put his hand on the doorknob, Han Jiangxue saw this, and couldn't help but remind in a whisper: "You stupid, you need to put on your gloves!" ”

Song Yu looked back at her and asked puzzledly, "Are you worried that I will leave fingerprints?" ”

Han Jiangxue nodded, and said in a solemn tone: "In our business, there is actually no difference between us and the criminal police, especially when sneaking into the house of a stranger to carry out investigations, we must be careful and careful, and we must not leave traces of our own presence at the scene." ”

Song Yu retracted his hand and scratched his hair helplessly: "You give me a pair of gloves!" ”

Han Jiangxue sighed, took out a pair of white gloves from the pocket of her suit and handed them to Song Yu.

"Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, listen to my command when you go in later, don't run around!"

Song Yu nodded obediently and said, "Obey your orders!" ”

Han Jiangxue put on her gloves, reached out and gently twisted the doorknob, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Strange, Qin Xiaoman didn't lock the door?" ”

At this time, only a soft sound of "pop" was heard, and the door slowly opened outward, and a cold cool breeze blew in the face, which made the two of them shiver.

A moment later, Han Jiangxue walked into the entrance as if walking on thin ice, carefully observing the furnishings inside.

"Why is it so cold in the house, did she forget to turn off the air conditioner when she went out?"

Han Jiangxue thought that Qin Xiaoman had just forgotten to turn off the air conditioner, she rubbed her hands from time to time, and exhaled a white mist from her mouth.

Song Yu followed Han Jiangxue closely, and the two stepped on the floor covered with marble tiles, and walked to the living room unhurriedly.

The further you go in, the lower the temperature becomes, as if you have come to Daxinganling from Xishuangbanna.

Song Yu rubbed his hands and whispered, "The temperature of this air conditioner is too low, right?" If you stay in the house for a long time, you will definitely catch a cold! ”

Han Jiangxue pursed her lips, which were a little purple from the cold, and said with a sinking face: "No, there is no air conditioning in this room at all!" ”

Hearing this, Song Yu looked up and looked around, and indeed did not find any suspected air conditioning device in the living room.

"That's strange, this is not an ice cellar, how can it be colder than the northeast in January?"

Han Jiangxue turned around the living room and didn't find anything suspicious, she thought of the man who was killed by Qin Xiaoman, and couldn't help but secretly say in her heart: "There must be a strange ...... on the second floor."

Song Yu's point of view coincided with Han Jiangxue, he raised his hand and pointed to the stairs going up to the second floor, and said in a low voice: "Let's go, go up to the second floor and have a look!" ”

The two of them climbed the wooden staircase leading to the second floor, and even though they both walked lightly, they still made a slight noise when they stepped on the staircase made of pure wood.

Han Jiangxue walked up, while carefully looking at the handrails made of mahogany on both sides, on which dragons and phoenixes were depicted, and scattered with patterns of flowers and plants.

Climbing up to the second floor, you will be greeted by a straight corridor with two rooms on the left and right.

"If I'm not mistaken, the location of Qin Xiaoman's murder should be in the second room on the left."

Song Yu nodded and urged in a low voice, "Then what are you waiting for?" Let's go in and check it out! ”

The two of them walked lightly to the outside of the second room, pricking up their ears to listen carefully for the movement inside.

There was a deathly silence in the huge house, and only the noisy chirping of cicadas in the trees outside the house could be heard.

"There's no one in the room, let's go inside!"

Han Jiangxue leaned out, leaned on the wall with one hand, and walked into the room as if walking on thin ice.

Song Yu followed closely and followed lightly.

The two of them stood in the room, looking around at a neatly arranged picture frame, and in the center of the frame was a finished oil painting. There were piles of tools and paints on the floor, and one of the palettes had not yet dried, as if it had only recently been used and had not yet had time to be cleaned.

"Is this her studio?"

Hearing Song Yu's question, Han Jiangxue didn't dare to make a conclusion: "Looking like this, it should be the place she used to paint, but I always feel that something is wrong, I feel that this room is weird, and I can't say what is strange now." ”

Song Yu nodded thoughtfully, and raised his eyes to observe the oil paintings embedded in the frame.

"I remember that the one Hao Ren displayed in the Public Security Bureau belonged to the Romantic style, but the oil paintings in this room were in many styles, including classicism, romanticism, realism, modernism, surrealism, impressionism, and so on."

When Han Jiangxue heard Song Yu's introduction, her eyes couldn't help but light up: "I can't see that you have a lot of research on Western painting." ”

Song Yu replied modestly: "I can't talk about research, it's just that I memorized the relevant test points when I was taking the teacher qualification certificate before." ”

"Do you still have these?"

Song Yu nodded and said in a low voice: "In the multiple-choice part of comprehensive quality, there will occasionally be a few questions that test the knowledge of Western literature and art. ”

The two walked around the room, looking at almost all the paintings, but never found any valuable clues.

"I don't think there's anything special about these paintings, they're no different from those on display in art museums."

Song Yu stood in front of a realist-style oil painting, looked left and right, and observed for a long time but did not see a reason.

"Wait, I seem to know something is wrong."

Han Jiangxue approached Song Yu and pointed to a figure in the oil painting with her finger, her face looking quite solemn: "Song Yu, look, is this middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears in the picture very similar to the man who quarreled with Qin Xiaoman?" ”

Song Yu leaned closer to take a closer look, and couldn't help but feel his scalp explode, and said in hindsight: "Jiang Xue, you're right, it seems that Qin Xiaoman really drew that man into the painting!" ”

The two of them were always focused on the painting, completely oblivious to the fact that the door to the room had closed somehow......
