When the sunlight penetrated into Xie Yuan's eyelids, he woke up slowly.Last night, he hardly slept at all, which made him have a splitting headache.

Xie Yu'an opened the door of the guest bedroom, and happened to see Zhou Liang sitting in the living room looking at him.After one night, the redness and swelling on Zhou Liang's fair face subsided, and a few bruises appeared.

Sensing Xie Yu'an's gaze, Zhou Liang looked back and met his gaze, hesitant to speak.

Xie Yu'an's face darkened, he ignored him, and went straight into the kitchen to get some food for himself.As usual, there was an exquisite breakfast on the kitchen table, which seemed to be prepared for him.The aggrieved energy from last night welled up in my heart again.

"Hello!" He turned to look at Zhou Liang in the living room, "Don't you have anything to explain to me?"

Zhou Liang stared at him, with a tinge of red at the end of his eyes, he bit his lower lip hard, and then said: "I may have to leave, you have to take care of yourself alone."

"What nonsense are you talking about again? It's been weird since yesterday! I'll give you another chance..."

"Don't ask." Zhou Liang raised his voice slightly and interrupted him.

"I..." Xie Yuan almost didn't come up in a breath, so he turned his head and completely ignored him in anger.

The two didn't stand in a stalemate for a long time before they were interrupted by a rapid ringtone of the mobile phone.Xie Yu'an picked up the phone and found that it was Jasmine's number.

There were a few rough gasps from the other end of the phone, and then Jasmine shouted out of breath:

"Something has happened! Hurry up to the first floor, there is a lot of blood here!!! A lot of blood!!!"

Hearing this scream that was so sharp that it deformed, there was still a trembling sound of fear inside.Xie Yuan immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

He immediately put on his clothes and rushed out. When he stepped through the door, he realized that Zhou Liang, who was always by his side, hadn't followed.

He looked back, Zhou Liang answered casually on the other end of the phone a few times.He looked unhappy.

Xie Yu'an looked at his figure and paused for two seconds, feeling something was wrong.

Does Zhou Liang have something to hide?He hesitated at the door.

But the doubts in his heart were washed away by the urgency in front of him, Xie Yuan settled for a few seconds, and chose to leave the room one step earlier.

---

Soon everyone gathered in the coffee shop.Jasmine was already limp in place. According to what she said, she returned to her room early last night. She wanted to go to the coffee shop to pick up supplies this morning, but she saw this horrifying scene.

There is a blood splatter in the main hall of the cafe, from the floor to the ceiling.

Unless someone has a severed aorta to cause this blood.But the other objects in the hall were neatly arranged, and there were no traces of fighting or struggling, except for a small ceramic figurine on the ground.

Xie Yu'an leaned over and picked it up.The ceramic figurine has been broken, and the whole head has fallen somewhere.When he just bent down to pick up something, he also noticed that the ground of the coffee shop was very clean, as if it had been cleaned carefully.

At the same time, Yu Gu and Xiao Shi beside him both turned pale with fright.Hao Yun walked back and forth, looking very anxious.But Zhou Liang's complexion darkened, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

"By the way, where is sister Yu?"

He looked around, only to realize that Yu Shuang was not there.It stands to reason that she is the leader among these people, why is she not here at this time.

"I called her, but no one answered." Jasmine covered her face, tears fell silently, "I went back early last night, leaving Sister Yu alone to guard. I was wondering, would it be, would it be? it will be her..."

She couldn't go on, her voice was broken and she couldn't hear it at all.

A trace of ominousness flashed across Xie Yu'an's mind, and he immediately rushed to Room No. [-] and tried to open the door.He turned the doorknob several times, but the door was locked tightly and could not be opened at all.

"It's useless," someone around him advised him, "We just tried it, and the door is locked from the inside, and it can't be opened at all."

"What should I do now? How else can I get into Sister Yu's room?"

What else can I do?This question passed into Xie Yuan's eardrums.If you can't get through the door, you can only go through the window, and if you want to go through the window, you have to try the method Hao Yun said yesterday.

"Is there any rope?" He turned his head and asked everyone at the scene.Seeing everyone's blank faces, he repeated, "Is there any rope?"

Hao Yun just woke up like a dream, and quickly replied: "Ah, yes, yes."

He turned around and ran upstairs, Xie Yu'an said behind him: "If there are tools like hammers and hammers, please help me get one."

Immediately afterwards he said to the others: "Since the door cannot be entered, I will try according to Hao Yun's idea yesterday. I will pull the rope down from Room [-] on the second floor, and try to see if I can break the window and enter Room [-]."

In the face of such emergencies, everyone behaved in a duty-bound manner, and there was no disagreement.

Xie Yu'an quickly made arrangements: Yu Gu and Zhou Liang stayed on the first floor, while Xiao Shi and Hao Yun assisted on the second floor.

When Xiao Shi tied Hao Yun's hemp rope around his waist, Xie Yu'an glanced at him strangely.Xiao Shi's eyes were covered by too long bangs, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he was afraid of something.

Xie Yu'an became suspicious, but the matter in front of him was urgent, so he had to put it aside for now.He endured the uneasiness at this moment, and asked Xiao Shi and Hao Yun to hold the hemp rope and let him go downstairs.

He came to the balcony and stretched out his hand to check the distance between the outer film of the glass and the window, which was about two people wide.A glass membrane runs through some of the balconies.He came to the side of the balcony, the gap here is big enough for one person to pass through, and it is indeed possible to climb down as Yu Gu said.

With his past work experience, these were not strenuous for him, and he soon came to the balcony of Room [-].The windows of Room [-] showed no signs of damage, but were firmly closed from the inside.

I hope that the people inside will be fine, although looking at the scene of the coffee shop, it is estimated that there is more than good luck.

Xie Yu'an frowned, took out the mace Hao Yun gave him from his waist, and tapped the four corners of the window with skill.

With the sound of clattering, the glass shattered soon.He cleaned up the debris around the window, turned over and entered the room without saying a word.

Because of the drawn curtains, the room was dim and dark.Xie Yu'an opened the curtains casually, and as the sun shone into the room, the scene in front of him shocked him in place.

The first thing that came into view was Sister Yu's head on the pillow.

The human head was covered with wounds, the wounds had been soaked in water, the edges were white, and each opening was turned outward.

The murderer didn't know what deep hatred he had, so he slashed her face to pieces with a knife. There was not even a piece of good flesh on that face that was still charming.

And her torso was placed neatly on the bed.

Her body seemed to be sleeping, with her hands folded on her chest.The weirdest thing was that her body was covered with a thick layer of yellow money paper, only four gray arms and legs were exposed.

It wasn't over yet, there was still a circle of white candles lit beside her bed.

Accompanied by Xie Yuan's breathing, the candle's flame swayed in the chilly air, crumbling.

If Xie Yu'an acted recklessly and knocked over a few candles, Sister Yu's body could be lit directly.In addition, there was a strong smell of alcohol in the room.

He held his breath until he heard the urging voices outside the door, and then he remembered to open the door quickly.As expected, the door was locked from the inside. He twisted the lock, and the outsiders gasped when they saw the scene in front of them.

Jasmine, the only female among the crowd, had never seen such a scene before, and immediately cried out of fright.She kept screaming with her face in her arms, and a few tears welled up from the corners of her eyes.

But it was Xiao Ya who reacted more exaggeratedly than Jasmine. As soon as he entered the room and saw the human head on the pillow, his knees immediately became weak and he collapsed on the ground.

"What the hell is going on here? Who did it? Who arranged the scene like this?"

Hao Yun followed closely to the bed. When he saw the corpse clearly, he opened his eyes wide and asked a series of questions, but unfortunately no one could answer him.

Hao Yun began to wander around the room worriedly.Not knowing what he saw, he let out a scream and pointed to a place with trembling fingers.

It turned out to be a bloody chainsaw leaning against the bed.This is obviously left after the murderer dismembered the body.

The murder weapon frightened Hao Yun so much that he stepped back a few steps and bumped into Sister Yu's bed.He touched it so well that a few candles on the bed fell down immediately.When the flame touched the flammable paper money, the flame immediately burst into flames, and soon turned into a raging fire.

Everyone exclaimed and cursed.Xie Yu'an took off his clothes and pounced towards the flames a few times, but the flames remained undiminished. If this continues, the scene will be completely destroyed sooner or later.

He hurried out of Room [-] to fetch the fire hydrant on the wall of the coffee shop.When he came back, all the people in the room temporarily left the room because they were choked by the thick smoke.He and several men present quickly turned on the fire extinguisher to put out the fire. After tossing back and forth like this, the fire was barely extinguished.

When the fire was extinguished, almost all the paper money was burned to ashes, and Sister Yu's body lying on the bed was blackened and completely exposed.

She was still wearing yesterday's blue cheongsam and her signature jade bracelet on her wrist.Only then did everyone discover that not only had her head been cut off, but her limbs and torso were also separated.

At this moment, she was pieced together like building blocks, and she was placed in a posture of lying on her back.

"The body was dismembered?! Looks like this technique is very skillful. Could it be that the murderer outside the house really came in?" Yu Gu's lips trembled in fright.

This is also a question that lingers in everyone's mind.Faced with this situation, everyone fell silent except Zhou Liang.

He brushed his long hair back and inspected Sister Yu's head on the pillow.He lowered his head and squinted his eyes to observe Sister Yu's face carefully, and even stretched out his hand to wipe Sister Yu's face, put it in his mouth and licked it.

"What are you doing? Don't ruin the scene casually." Xie Yu'an grabbed his hand and looked at him in shock.

"Because of the fire just now, the surface of the wound was scorched." Zhou Liang muttered to himself as if he didn't hear him, "I can't tell when I was injured."

This sentence sounds nonsensical. At present, only Sister Yu died in the apartment. She was alive and well yesterday, so when could she be injured?

He ignored the confused people at the scene, but opened Yu Shuang's mouth on his own.

"Look, her tongue was cut off." Zhou Liang pointed to the inside of Yu Shuang's mouth.

Everyone followed his movements curiously, only to see a severed tongue suddenly appeared in the mouth, scarlet blood remained on the wound, and their scalps felt numb all of a sudden.

After examining the corpse, Zhou Liang went to the window to look out.

Xie Yu'an followed his movements and looked out the window, but the outside was empty, and he didn't understand what he wanted to do.Zhou Liang didn't explain, and squatted down to touch the ground again.

"It's so clean, it was cleaned by someone." Zhou Liang's eyes darkened, as if he had noticed something.

He began to rummage in the room, opening every box and cabinet to check without authorization.Many chests and cabinets were artificially locked, only one top-to-top wardrobe was slightly concealed.Zhou Liang narrowed his eyes and pulled open the closet unexpectedly.

Xie Yu'an curiously went over to take a look, there was nothing in the closet, but as a woman's closet, it was surprisingly empty.

There was a photo frame lying in the closet, Zhou Liang picked it up.Xie Yu'an leaned over and found that it was a group photo.

Above, Yu Shuang is embracing a boy, and the two are standing in front of a flower bed, smiling happily.The boy looked very similar to Yu Shuang.

"This...can't be her son?"

Zhou Liang nodded to Xie Yu'an, indicating that it was very possible.

Zhou Liang frowned, as if thinking of something.He turned back to the bed and threw himself on Sister Yu, tearing off her burnt clothes and undoing her corset.Now there is a new discovery.

"Look." He pointed to Sister Yu's chest.

The chainsaw in the room and the bloodstain in the coffee shop made people subconsciously think that Sister Yu was killed by a chainsaw.Unexpectedly, there was still a wound on her chest, which was a penetrating wound. Although the wound was blackened, it could be vaguely identified as a gunshot wound.

Xie Yu'an's expression froze, he found the disposable gloves and some cotton swabs on the dressing table, and fiddled with them.

"That's right, it's the bullets from the Colt Sidewinder revolver, the one that was taken away from Yu Gu."

Now everyone's expression is very wonderful.Hao Yun was the first to react, and he yelled in panic, "The key! Sister Yu was guarding the apartment key yesterday!"

After shouting, he rushed to the coffee shop in a panic, opened the sand table model tremblingly, and unscrewed the top box where the key was stored.

It was empty.That crucial key is gone!
