Seven's secret

Xu Yongcheng deserves to be Baifa's gold medal design. Looking at a set of slides, both the fish head and the little hedgehog began to stare at gold stars.Murong Qing himself is also feeling ups and downs, he can't help himself.

It looks very pastoral, but the interior design fully meets the requirements of high-quality life.What surprised him the most was that Baifa managed to draw this small courtyard within the range of the "Bangshan Huating" not far away. The security facilities are hooked up.In this way, if Murong Qing really needs anything, he can call the maintenance team and security personnel of the Mountain Huating at any time.Correspondingly, he has to pay according to Huating's property management standards, but compared with the monthly management fee, his living safety is greatly guaranteed.

After Xu Yongcheng made some moderate modifications according to Murong Qing's request, the two parties signed a formal contract.Murong Qing paid half of the payment in advance, and went home contentedly holding his little pets.

Murong Qing was in a good mood, and when he received a call from Pei Rong on the road, he was also cheerful, but the person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment before asking: "What are you happy about?"

Murong Qing hasn't told Pei Rong about the house yet, so he doesn't know what to say for a moment.Fortunately, Pei Rong just said casually, and then turned to the main topic, "Are you free today? Can you come with us to see the scene?"

Murong Qing's heart skipped a beat, "That vase you mentioned last night?"

"Yes," Pei Rong said, "although the thing was at the scene of the murder, there is no direct evidence that it is related to the murder. His wife can't tell the origin of the thing, so it's impossible to say whether it belongs to their family or not." Stuff. I just don't think the deceased is a collector of art, so I'm skeptical about it."

Murong hesitated for a moment, he remembered the case of murder and mutilation mentioned by Zuo He when he was having dinner at Ling Dongzhi's house.If they're talking about the same case now, doesn't that mean he's going to the place where the murder happened?

Murong asked him nervously, "Is the thing in your police station?"

Pei Rong probably thought of the same question, and he unconsciously expressed apology in his tone, "It's at the deceased's house, you..."

Murong gritted his teeth lightly, "It's fine. Where can I meet you?"

Pei Rong said bluntly: "We are on the way, we are almost downstairs to your house, you can just go downstairs now."

Murong lightly put down the phone, did a few minutes of mental preparation for himself, then took a deep breath and went downstairs. He had seen a kidnapping case before, so what's so scary about a murder scene?Isn't there still capable police comrades to accompany me?Besides, after the case happened, it is impossible for the police to keep the body there...

Murong Qing comforted himself like this, but when he was waiting downstairs, he was still a little nervous.

Sure enough, Pei Rong arrived very soon. As soon as the car door opened, a familiar figure jumped down and smiled brightly at Murong, "Teacher Murong, long time no see!"

"Officer Xiao Meng." Murong smiled lightly at him, he still has a good impression of this young man who exudes sunshine.

Meng Ke smiled and waved his hands, "You should call me Xiaomeng, I'm sorry, I'm here to trouble you again."

Murong smiled lightly and shook his head, "It's not about trouble."

Pei Rong honked the horn, "The greetings are not over yet, are they? Get in the car."

Meng Ke made a grimace, stretched out his hand to open the rear door for Murong Qing.When Murong Qing got into the car, he glanced at Pei Rong who was in the driver's seat. It had only been two or three days since they separated, but somehow, it seemed that something had changed.Thinking of this, Murong Qing couldn't help but glance at him again.Looking at Pei Rong, Pei Rong narrowed his eyes slightly.

A gentle, friendly smile, peaceful and undisturbed.

But just because it looked so normal, Murong Qing felt a little uncertain.Should Pei Rong be so calm?He ran all the way to Foshan to save himself, but he didn't show how...so...how could he remain so calm afterwards?Murong Qing felt that he should be a little disappointed in herself.

But why be disappointed?Murong asked himself lightly, is it because he once said to himself "I want to chase you"?

"Mr. Murong, you must have never thought of that," Meng Ke turned sideways from the passenger seat to chat with Murong Qing, "I'm on the same team as Brother Pei now."

Murong Qing really didn't expect it.Because Meng Ke looks thin, and does not give people a particularly strong feeling.

Pei Rong explained: "He is a technical police officer. An expert in electronics."

Murong Qing was respectful.He has not studied much, and he always has a special respect for people with knowledge.Pei Rong noticed the change in his expression from the rearview mirror, and remembered that he was adopted into Murong's family since he was a child, and that he had to follow the arrangements of that family for studying and going to school, and felt sad.

This is an ordinary residential building located in the old city, and the room where the accident occurred was Room [-] on the east side of the top floor.The deceased was the owner of [-], and his identity has been identified as the office director of a nearby chemical factory.His wife and children live with the old man in the countryside. Except for the occasional family members who come here, he usually lives alone.

There is a young couple living in [-] opposite the door. Because the wife is in confinement, all three members of the family moved back to the mother-in-law's house.The downstairs house has been vacant all year round, so no one knows whether there was a fight on the night of the accident.Only the owner of the house opposite the door downstairs heard the door close upstairs when he got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, but he was sleepy at the time and didn't look at his watch, so he couldn't tell the exact time, probably at two o'clock in the morning. between one and three o'clock.

According to forensic identification, that time period coincided with the time of the homeowner's death.

This neighborhood has been around for a long time, the stairs are still on the concrete floor, the edges and corners are almost worn out, the walls are mottled, and there are messy small advertisements.The windows in the stairwell were also small, some of the panes were broken, and the rest were bruised and dusty. A cordon was drawn in front of the door of [-], and a small policeman in police uniform stood guard at the door to protect the scene.He knew both Pei Rong and Meng Ke, and he didn't stop him after hearing their explanation that they brought experts to inspect the scene. Seeing that they had put on their shoe covers, he opened the door for them.

As soon as the door was pushed open, a strange smell rushed over.Murong Qing felt that it was probably due to some inexplicable psychological suggestion, he felt that the strange fishy smell in the room must be the smell of blood, which made him a little nauseous.

Pei Rong paid attention to his reaction, saw his face turned pale, couldn't help but stretched out his hand to help him, "Xiaoqi?"

Murong shook his head lightly, indicating that he was fine, while controlling his gaze from looking at the open bedroom door, where the murder was said to have occurred.

"The things are here." Pei Rong didn't intend to take him to see those, and dragged him into the small bedroom on the other side of the living room.In addition to the desk and bookcase, there is also a single bed here, which seems to be prepared for children.Although the owner was a man, the room was tidy and not as messy as a normal man's room.

Murong Qing saw a wooden photo frame standing on the desk, which contained photos of a family of three, a fat middle-aged man, a woman with a gentle expression, and a half-grown boy who had already reached his parents' shoulders.The background seems to be a certain scenic spot, with flowers nearby and mountains in the distance. The smiles of the family are bright and cheerful.

Murong glanced lightly and didn't dare to look again. He turned to look at Pei Rong, and saw that he and Meng Ke had put on gloves, and were carefully taking out a paper box with the words humidifier printed on the outside from under the desk.There are several similar miscellaneous boxes piled up under the desk. If you don't search carefully, it's really not easy to find out what mystery is hidden in this one.

Opening the carton, Murong Qing saw that the inside was also padded with anti-shock foam, and it looked very carefully stored.Pei Rong opened the paper box carefully, motioning Murong Qing to come over and have a look.Murong Qing took the gloves from Meng Ke, put them on, and carefully took out the bottle from the carton.This is a moon-hugging vase with a peony pattern in blue and white glaze, [-] centimeters high, and the glaze color is bright, and it has a very delicate feeling at first glance.

"How?" Pei Rong asked him, "Should it be real?" If it's not the real thing, who would hide it on purpose? According to him, it looks good on the bookcase as a decoration.

Murong Qing looked over and over again, "Straight mouth, thin neck, and ruyi ears, from the shape of the vessel, it conforms to the characteristics of the Qianlong period. But this one is not from the Qianlong period, it is even later, it should be from the Guangxu period. imitations."

Pei Rong was surprised again, "How can you tell?"

Murong tapped the bottle lightly, "Glaze color, tire quality. Each era has its imprint. Some things, such as the taste of time, cannot be imitated."

"Is that worth it?" Meng Ke was more impatient, and the question went straight to the point.

Murong Qing hesitated for a moment, "The appearance of this thing is not bad. If you are lucky, you can sell it for six figures." Murong Qing is now wondering why Pei Rong said that the owner of this house is not like someone who collects antiques. ?If their family is in the countryside, it is reasonable to pass down a few things at the bottom of the box from their ancestors.

Pei Rong guessed what he was thinking from his eyes, and took the initiative to explain to him: "The deceased was a student of science and engineering, and had never been in touch with art appreciation. According to our investigation, when he graduated from university, he had I had an opportunity to study abroad, but because of poor family conditions, I finally gave up. If this thing was inherited from the ancestors, why didn’t you take it out for emergency? Their family valued the deceased’s education very much. Besides, we asked his wife, His wife didn't even know there was such a thing at home."

"Do you suspect that this is not something from his house?"

"It's just a suspicion." Pei Rong spread his hands helplessly, "So the captain sent the two of us to follow this lead. The main players in the team are busy with other things."

Murong Qing knew that he couldn't ask about these things, so he put the things in his hand back carefully.Just when he straightened up, he saw a bowl under the desk.To be exact, it was a bisque soup bowl with a wide mouth, quite ordinary, with no pattern on the rim, filled with shallow clear water.

Murong Qing's heart skipped a beat, "Does he have a cat?"

Pei Rong thought for a while, "His wife said that he had raised a two-year-old yellow cat, whose name seemed to be... called Dijia. But we haven't seen each other since we came here. Or did he raise it before? Then he stopped raising it? "

"Probably not." Murong Qing said affirmatively: "If it is no longer kept, there should be no clear water in the bowl. Is there still cat litter in this room?"

Pei Rong nodded, "It's in the bathroom, but the cat litter is clean and there is no excrement. In addition, there is a cat climbing frame at the corner of the bathroom door."

Murong Qing was thinking about it, wanting them to find the cat.But I was just an ordinary citizen, and I couldn't provide any strong evidence, so I just made things difficult for Pei Rong.What's more, they went out to find the cat with great fanfare, so what if they found it?Even if I am willing to perform animal language programs in front of them, will they believe it?

Murong frowned lightly, thinking that he had to find Yutou to find a solution to this matter.
