Despicable Games [Top]

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little gloomy. Who is playing the piano?What is his purpose?

"What's going on?" A voice sounded behind them, and the three of them turned around to see Lina standing behind them.

"Lina? Are you at the villa?" Jim asked.

Lina nodded, "Smith and I have been at the villa since the two of you left."

Jim frowned. "Where were you?"

Lina pointed to the stairs at the end of the corridor, pursed her lips and looked at Kang Wenwen, "I'm downstairs...the butler's room..."

It is common to go to the suspect's room to search for evidence, but it is a bit embarrassing to say it in front of others.

"Isn't Smith with you?" Kang Wenwen asked.

Lina looked behind Jim on tiptoe, "Isn't he here?"

"I searched your room with him. I thought he ran out when he heard the sound of the piano. I was just about to say that I must tell him when I saw him, but I didn't even call me."

Jim frowned, "You don't know when he was away?"

Lina thought for a while, "Well...No more than 15 minutes at most. The two of us have always acted together."

"Fifteen minutes..." Jim repeated silently.

"Wen...Butler, where is your room downstairs?" Jim almost called out 'Wen Wen' again.

Kang Wenwen also heard Jim's leak, but this is not the time to correct the address.

"It's in the next room at the foot of this practice room."

Jim went to the corridor and looked at the distance from the stairs to this room.

"It took us about 3 minutes to get here from the door just now. 15 minutes is enough for the murderer to walk from the downstairs room to here, lock the door and play a song."

Wayne lowered his head to Lina and asked, "Did you come up when you heard the sound of the piano?"

Lina shook her head, "Actually, I hesitated in the room after hearing the sound. I didn't dare to go upstairs because Smith wasn't there. I followed you up after hearing the sound of you running upstairs."

Wayne asked again, "Are you familiar with the song just now?"

Lina knocked on her forehead, "It sounds very familiar, it should be the song that James has been practicing during this time."

"Is it 'Beautiful Lady'?" Jim asked.

Lina nodded, "It should be this one, because James said that he will perform this piece next week."

Wayne draws out the interface for identifying the murderer, and Smith's business card is still on it.

"Smith didn't drop the line, but if he was still in this villa or nearby, he would have rushed over if he heard the sound of the piano. But..."

The meaning behind this but is obvious.

"Absconding in fear of crime?" Kang Wenwen laughed and said, "We just need to identify people, and we don't have to catch people. It doesn't make sense for him to do so."

Wayne's eyes fell on Lina who was dressed in a cute maid outfit.

"What are you looking at me for?" Lina stared, "Don't you think I'm lying?"

The three of Kang Wenwen didn't speak, obviously everyone was suspicious.

Lina stomped angrily, "What do you suspect about me? Do you suspect that I tricked Smith into acting with me, or did you suspect that I was playing the piano just now?"

Kang Wenwen raised his eyebrows, but remained silent.

"Hey, if Smith isn't with me, do I have to lie to you? When he comes back later, won't you tell me if you ask me?" Lina said with her arms crossed.

"Another one, if I were playing the piano, why would I show up when you are all here? Wouldn't that increase my suspicion? I can just leave quietly. Why did I come back?"

Indeed, what Lina said made some sense.

Appearing now, the suspicion is too great.

"However, it's just as big if you don't show up now. You might as well take a gamble. If you can quibble a bit here, maybe we will believe it's not you." I didn't feel it when I was running just now, but now my ankle started to hurt as soon as I relaxed.Kang Wenwen leaned on the window sill, smiling at Lina with the light behind him.

Lina's eyes were staring like a goldfish, and her little face was a little red. "What you say is yours, I can't say no to you! If you think it's me, point it out!"

Kang Wenwen was stunned for a moment, waved his hands and said, "I'm just kidding."

If you identify without evidence, you won't get the full reward, okay?

"Hmph." Lina turned her head away, angrily.

Back at the scene again, almost 12 hours had passed since the body was found in the morning.

The rigor of the corpse was slowly weakening.

This time, the focus of the evidence search was no longer on the corpse.

Kang Wenwen was very concerned about the sheet music of "The Wonderful Girl".But he almost dismantled the piano, and didn't find a single piece of paper.

"Senior, you were the first to come in. Are you sure there was no music score on the piano stand at that time?"

Jim was sitting behind a desk by the window, studying with the inkpot in his hand.Hearing Kang Wenwen's question, he said unhappily, "I'm sure. And even if you're looking for it, you're looking for other places in the room. Just stare at that piano. It's going to bloom under your stare."

"Besides, I think the score should have been taken away by the murderer after the murder."

The ink on James's desk, the lid was not tightened tightly, and it opened with a light pull.

The scent of the ink is strong.

"What do you think is the black substance in James' fingernails?" Wayne was looking at James' palm, and Lina squatted beside him to watch with him.

Jim raised the ink bottle in his hand and said, "At first, I thought that the ink was not washed clean, but James is a clean freak, and he will not tolerate his dirty hands playing the piano. So Mark and I inferred that , that black unknown object was left behind after the murderer appeared."

Wayne took James' hand and found the stain that Kang Wenwen said.

"That is to say, it is very likely to be the evidence left by the murderer?"

Lina went on to say, "Could it be something on the murderer's body?"

"...Hey, some of you can help me..." Kang Wenwen ran to the bookshelf again at some point, thinking about taking down the box on the fourth floor of the bookshelf.

Wayne walked over consciously, stood behind Kang Wenwen, reached out his hand almost close to Kang Wenwen's back, and took the box down firmly.

When covered by Wayne's chest and arms, Kang Wenwen only had one thing in mind.

Your uncle, I would have chosen a body shape above 1.9 meters if I had known about my uncle.

The box has a lock, and the key...

"Except for a few insignificant books, the drawers of the desk are all blank, cleaner than my face." Jim took out the books in the drawer one by one, and opened them page by page.

Lina lay on the ground and looked under the table, under the bookshelf and under the piano.

"I don't have it here either."

Wayne emptied all the books and sundries from the bookshelves, but there was nothing.

There are only a few furnishings and items in the piano practice room. If it is not in the piano practice room, the search range will be much larger.A key hidden in the whole villa is really a needle in a haystack.

Kang Wenwen held his chin and box and stared blankly.

"Why are you in a daze, look for it quickly." Jim stretched out his hand and slapped Kang Wenwen across the face.

Kang Wenwen staggered and rubbed his head.

"What kind of key do you want, you guys are waiting." He said and walked out slowly, and walked back after a while.It's just a small hammer in my hand.

Jim looked at the tool in Kang Wenwen's hand, and said, "What are you doing? Unlock the lock violently?"

Before the words could be heard here, Kang Wenwen had already swung his hammer towards the small lock.

"Oh!"

The small lock was deformed, but it still locked the box tightly.defend their profession.

"Hey! I still don't believe it." Kang Wenwen rolled up his sleeves, pressed the box with one hand, and aimed at the small lock with the other.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

The three hammers are set, the transaction is completed!

Nonsence.The three hammers are over, and the small lock is also over.Kang Wen unscrewed the small lock from the box when he heard the click.

Lina was dumbfounded watching this operation.

Can this be done?

On the other hand, Wayne slightly raised his eyebrows.

Kang Wenwen opened the box with pride.

It was full of paper.

Picking up one and looking at it, Kang Wen asked, "What is this? Music score?"

There are musical notes drawn on the paper, but it should be a manuscript.It was a mess of scribbling and painting.

Lina also picked up one and looked at "It's sheet music, but these look old."

"Well, it shouldn't be the paper you've used recently." Jim also picked up a few and flipped through them.

Wayne counted the papers, "Six scores, all without names?"

Kang Wenwen shook his head, "No name."

Lina also looked at the one in her hand, "I don't have this either."

Six sheet music, none of which has a name.

"What do these scores mean?" Jim frowned.

Lina pouted and said, "These scores, James never showed or mentioned these scores."

Kang Wenwen hadn't seen it before. If these things were given in James's usual scripts, there should be reminders now.

If not, it means that as a "housekeeper" I don't know these things.

Kang Wenwen took the one in his hand, and took out another sheet from the box, "Look...are these two sheet music the same?"

The sheet music is yellowed and has fuzzy edges.The content is a bit messy, either graffiti next to a note or many small notes that are separated from the stave.It seems that it should be the repeated deliberation and entanglement of the score writer.

Although messy, but put these six together, you can arrange an order.The first score is the messiest, except for a few places that are a little blank, the others are full of revised graffiti.

The next few sheets are better, and the length of the score increases.

Kang Wenwen picked up the last piece of music, and this piece of music could already clearly see the piece.

"Is this James' composition?" Lina asked as she looked at the gradually perfected scores.

Jim denied, "It's not James' handwriting. Look at this."

As he spoke, he picked up a letter from the desk, which should have been written by James to a friend.The content is to invite the other party to come here to participate in my own piano recital next week.

The content has no value, but the handwriting is obviously different from the handwriting on the six sheet music.

"Not James's?" Kang Wenwen whispered.If it wasn't his, he put it in a box and locked it...

Wayne remained silent all this time, and suddenly said behind Kang Wenwen, "I'll go downstairs and have a look."

After speaking, he went out without waiting for everyone's reaction.

Lina looked at Wayne's back and frowned delicately, "I always think this person is weird."

Jim laughed, "What's weird in there?"

Although there was a smile on his face, the smile didn't penetrate into his eyes.

Lina pouted, "He keeps staring at me, isn't it weird?"

Kang Wenwen also turned his head to look at the door that Wayne left, and this person gave him a very different feeling.
