The rhizome of the rose is constantly oozing red liquid, which is somewhat contrary to scientific knowledge.

I'd rather believe it was a magic show.

In the end, the blood-dripping rose was bought by a female entrepreneur for 300,000.

The charity sale ended here, and Steward Lu carefully took the roses out of the room. The rose will be kept at Rose Manor for the time being, and will be returned to the businesswoman tomorrow when everyone leaves.

A total of 3.68 million yuan was raised in this event, all of which will be donated to Hope Primary School in the mountainous area.

Jin Feifeng was making the final summary of this charity sale when there was a crisp sound outside the door, so loud that it even covered the sound of the microphone.

The sound was like a broken vase.

I immediately felt that something was wrong, and I was the first to rush out of the room, and as soon as I came out of the door, about ten meters away, Steward Lu fell in a pool of blood......

Li Meng ran out after me, and when she saw Steward Lu's body, she immediately ran to the stairs next to her to see if she could find any trace of the murderer's departure.

The others also rushed out, everyone stood in the doorway, all frozen, and a woman let out a scream: "Ah! Dead! ”

"Stay where you are, don't move, no one is allowed to leave! I'm a cop! I'm here to survey the scene. I gave a brief instruction and hurriedly ran to Steward Lu's side.

He was dead, stabbed in the chest with a dagger, still stuck in his body.

Steward Lu was lying prone beside him, beside him was a broken vase of roses, he held the hilt of the knife in one hand, and the blood-dripping rose in the other, the thorns of the roses pierced deeply into the palm of his hand. The wound on his chest splattered a large amount of blood, splattered far away, and a pool of blood had formed under his body.

The blood that flowed out was completely integrated with the liquid in the vase, and it was impossible to distinguish it.

The housekeeper Lu Ping'an was less than five minutes from leaving the room to falling to the ground and dying. All of us were at the bazaar and no one left halfway. Although it is not yet possible to know who the murderer was, I am sure that the murderer definitely did not leave the villa! Because this villa is located near the farm, it is simply impossible to leave without a vehicle.

There were no forensic doctors at the site, nor were there any tools to survey the scene. I immediately contacted the Crime Squad and explained to them the situation at the scene, as long as the Crime Squad arrived and checked the fingerprints on the dagger, the murderer could be found.

It's four o'clock in the afternoon, the mountain road is rough, and the Serious Crime Team won't be able to arrive until tomorrow morning at the earliest. All I can do now is keep everyone under control and not allow anyone to leave the villa without permission.

"Master Jin, find an empty room to store the body, no one is allowed to approach, especially this dagger, no one is allowed to touch it, and the police will come tomorrow to check their fingerprints." I got up and gave Jin Feifeng a brief explanation.

He was already stupid, and he couldn't believe that Lu Ping'an, the housekeeper who had worked with him for nearly ten years, would die in front of him.

"Master Jin?" I called him again.

Jin Feifeng came back to his senses and replied one after another: "Okay, okay, I'll do it." ”

"Others, don't leave the villa, wait until the police come tomorrow." I say to everyone.

"I don't agree, there are dead people here, and the murderer hasn't been caught yet, what if the murderer commits the crime again? No, I can't stay here! A group of wealthy businessmen was the first to stand up and retort in a trembling voice.

"It's just that the dead are so unlucky, and I don't want to stay here." Soon someone chimed in.

"Solving the case is your police's business, not ours, besides, I didn't kill the person, everyone was in the house just now!"

"yes, yes! It's too bad to live in a house with a dead person! ”

"The murderer is still in the villa, and I won't continue to stay here if I say anything."

"Yes, we are all law-abiding citizens, can the police restrict the personal freedom of citizens?!"

"Master Jinzhuang, I don't want this rose, you return 300,000 to me, it's too unlucky!" The businesswoman who had just bought the blood rose frowned and immediately repented.

"This ...... How can I return something I bought? Besides, this money didn't go into my pocket, but it was going to be donated to Hope Primary School! Jin Feifeng immediately denied it and did not agree to the return application.

The woman's eyes widened and she quarreled directly with Jin Feifeng.

For the dead people on the scene, they don't care at all, for the sake of money, they can quarrel to the death.

"Everyone, be quiet! Listen to me! I shouted: "Now it is certain that the murderer is in this villa, and theoretically, everyone in the villa is the murderer!" Including us, everything just needs to wait until tomorrow when the police come, and they will naturally find out who the murderer is. From now on, in order to prevent the murderer from committing the crime again, no one is allowed to leave the villa, nor is it allowed to act alone, and the action is at least in a group of four, not leaving an inch. Tonight, when everyone is resting, they will also be in groups of four. ”

"Please cooperate with the police, and before the case is solved, if anyone does not cooperate, I will arrest whom!" Li Meng yelled as he took out a handcuff from his waist.

The handcuffs shook in front of everyone's eyes, emitting a cold light, full of deterrence.

My eyes swept over the crowd, and my brow furrowed.

Based on the current clues, all the people in the villa are suspected of committing crimes, and other villa staff I have not seen are temporarily excluded, because I have no idea how many staff there are in the villa.

The people who participated in the charity sale this time were all in the house just now, and they all had alibi, although Jin Feifeng was also in the house, but he revealed an extremely abnormal insipidity about the death of Steward Lu.

A housekeeper who had been with him for nearly ten years was killed, and his reaction was not as big as the reaction of a few roses in his rose garden being bitten by rats, could it be that he had known about the death of Steward Lu for a long time?

So far, the only ones who have not shown up are the three staff members in the laboratory. There was no trace of a fight at the scene, and there was no shouting from Steward Lu, so it must have been an acquaintance who committed the crime. With the size of those three people, it was not much difficult to complete a fatal knife against Steward Lu.

It's just that the timing of Steward Lu's death is too strange, this charity sale will end tomorrow, and all of us will leave at that time, why didn't the murderer commit the crime after we left? What's more, the people who came to participate in the charity sale were two policemen, me and Li Meng, and the policemen of the Serious Crime Unit.

The most important point is that Steward Lu once said that after the charity sale is over, please ask me one thing.

And that cry for help at midnight......

Could it be that the incident that Steward Lu wanted to ask me for had something to do with the cries for help at night? And he was killed at this point in time, could it be murder?

But I still can't figure it out, even if the murderer wants to kill people, why would he choose to do it outside the door of the activity room, he can completely borrow the feature of more rooms in the villa, creating the illusion that Steward Lu has something to leave. The murderer chose to commit the crime at the door, obviously because he was not afraid that we would find the body, let alone the police intervention......

What does this murderer want to do?
