There is a door at the back of the banquet hall, which looks a little old, and it is half-closed, with dim lights spilling out.

Lin Cheng and Bai Qian glanced at the door, and Bai Qian reached out to push the door open.

"Don't move, I'll come." The smile disappeared from Lin Cheng's face, and he seriously stopped Bai Qian's movements.

Bai Qian withdrew his hand, and Lin Cheng fumbled around his baggy trousers until he took out a pair of black gloves from his pocket.He put the gloves on his hands neatly, and pushed open the half-open door.

The inside of the door was very dark, and inside was a section of steps leading directly to the ground. There was an orange light on the top, and Zhang Han's voice for help came from below.

The female's sharp voice filled the basement, continuously wafting up, accompanied by the humid air.

"I'll go down first, you follow me." Lin Cheng walked ahead of Bai Qian, entered the door first, and walked down the stairs.

"Okay." Bai Qian followed Lin Cheng down.

The line of sight in the corridor was very poor, and Lin Chenghe was tall, so he had no choice but to walk down, Bai Qian followed behind, although it was a bit dark, but with Lin Cheng, he wasn't too worried.

Soon, the field of vision opened up, and after going down the stairs, after the corner, was the storage room in the basement.

Zhang Han was sitting on the ground, holding Wang Shang in his arms.

There were tears on her face, she had cried just now, and now she was sitting on the ground in a daze, Wang Shang in his arms had his eyes closed, and he was no longer wearing the same clothes as in the banquet hall just now.

"What's wrong with him?" Bai Qian walked to Zhang Han and asked her, but according to his inference, Wang Shang should be more or less ominous.

Zhang Han's dull eyes focused only after hearing Bai Qian's voice. She glanced at the two of them and said, "Shang Shang is dead."

Lin Cheng had already guessed the ending since he came in, and he didn't show too much surprise.He didn't stay by Zhang Han and Wang Shang's side, and got up to check the basement.

There are several pieces of dilapidated furniture in the entire basement, dust is everywhere on them, and cobwebs are formed on the corners of the walls. If it is not for the elegant piano music playing in the banquet hall, no one will believe that the place where they are now is a building. Inside the gorgeous villa.

Bai Qian glanced at Lin Cheng, who was looking around, and then looked down at Wang Shang in Zhang Han's arms. He reached out and put his finger under Wang Shang's nose, and he was indeed out of breath.It was the first time for Bai Qian to see a real dead person, and he felt a little stuck. Although this child was just an NPC, compared to those sluggish low-level goods above, Wang Shang was no different from them living people. The reason for the blockage.

He got up and came to Lin Cheng, who was staring at the basement stairs.

"Did you find any clues?" Bai Qian stood behind him, also looking around, and asked Lin Cheng.

"Tell me, what size shoes should a ten-year-old child wear?" Lin Cheng leaned over and stared at the steps without looking up.

Bai Qiang walked forward, squatted down, and looked at the steps. There were several footprints on the steps.

Thanks to the dust in the basement, stepping on it is very obvious.

Looking at these footprints, he understood Lin Cheng's question, and answered, "A ten-year-old boy should be around size 35?"

"Well, but these footprints are obviously not 35 feet." Lin Cheng raised his waist, stood up straight, and responded to Bai Qian. "Wang Shang is thinner than the usual ten-year-olds, at most a size 33."

Bai Qian looked around the steps again, but didn't find any other favorable clues, so he also stood up.

"So, the deceased, that is, Wang Shang didn't come down by himself?" Bai Qian asked.

Lin Cheng looked at Bai Qian, who had big watery eyes with firm gaze, Bai Qian was 178, shorter, looked up at Lin Cheng slightly, and looked very good-looking.

"Little Qianqian, you are very smart." Lin Cheng resumed his usual cynical smile, staring at Bai Qian and said.

Bai Qian felt that his face was suddenly hot, he didn't know why Lin Cheng could still make jokes.In fact, ever since he first met Lin Cheng, that is, Yi Cheng, Yu Qianxi always had the feeling that he belonged to the people in this script and could do well here.

This feeling is very subtle, but Yu Qianxi can't say anything, probably because it's not the first time Yi Cheng has entered this world.

"I, I'll ask about Zhang Han's situation just now." Bai Qian teased, turned around and returned to Zhang Han and the deceased.

"Hey, don't go, I'll be with you." Lin Cheng smiled and followed.

Zhang Han has recovered his emotions, but he is still holding Wang Shang's body.

Bai Qian squatted down next to Zhang Han and did not touch the deceased.He glanced at Zhang Han and asked, "How did you find the deceased?"

Zhang Han reached out to wipe the tears on her face, her eyes were red, and she said in a hoarse voice: "I was washing clothes in the laundry room just now, but the washing machine suddenly broke down, so I came to the basement to find a toolbox. When I came down, I saw Wang Shang lying here."

Lin Cheng quietly squatted down next to Bai Qian, the deceased was in Zhang Han's arms, without a trace of life, and the exposed skin did not have any trauma, not even vomiting blood.

With gloves on, he reached out and opened Wang Shang's eyelids. His pupils had already spread, and he opened Wang Shang's mouth again. There was no blood, not even a bleeding point.

With Bai Qian by his side, he naturally saw this too.

There was no bleeding from the mouth of the deceased, no scars on the exposed skin, and no blood on the body, which means that the death was not caused by penetrating wounds.

There was also no blood on the basement floor, confirming that the deceased did not die from stab wounds.

In other words, this is not the scene of the first crime.

"There is no reference value here, let's go up." Lin Cheng looked around the basement again, and said to Bai Qian and Zhang Han.

"En." Bai Qian looked at the layout of the basement while getting up.

But there was a low tea table in the corner that attracted Bai Qian's attention, it was covered with dust, and there was a ball of hemp rope on the corner of the table.

Bai Qian turned around and walked over to the low coffee table. He didn't wear gloves and didn't dare to touch the hemp rope without authorization. He turned around and called Lin Cheng.

"What's wrong?" Lin Cheng walked from Zhang Han to the low tea table, and stood next to Bai Qian.

"There's something wrong with this hemp rope." Bai Qian bent down and brought his face closer, then looked up at Lin Chengdao.

The moment he saw the hemp rope, Bai Qian had an intuition that it had something to do with the abuse of Wang Shang by the Wangs, but he couldn't be sure, because the incident written in the script in his mind was just a passing mention, and he didn't specifically explain how the two abused Wang Shang. Wang Shang.

Lin Cheng squatted down, the height was just about the same as the low coffee table, so he could see more clearly.Before taking off the gloves, Lin Cheng held the hemp rope on the gloves and looked at them.

The hemp rope is heavy in the hand, and the rope is white. Other than that, there is nothing special about it, if it is just a hemp rope.

However, it doesn't match this dusty basement. The basement doesn't seem to be visited by people very often, so the surface of things here is a lot of dust, and even the dilapidated furniture is a bit rotten, but this hemp rope is so new!

Lin Cheng looked at the top of the low coffee table again. As he expected, there was no mark on the small area where the hemp rope was placed just now.

Bai Qian glanced at Lin Cheng, and Lin Cheng also looked at him.

Lin Cheng put down the hemp rope, and came back to Zhang Han's side with Bai Qian.

"Aunt Zhang, put Shang Shang on the ground." Bai Qian said to Zhang Han.

Zhang Han didn't understand what the two of them were going to do, but seeing Lin Cheng's oppressive eyes, he did it anyway.

Wang Shang was lying flat on the ground, as if he was asleep, and Zhang Han couldn't help crying again. She has been in Wang's house for 5 years, and she has a deep relationship with Wang Shang. Seeing Wang Shang die inexplicably, Zhang Han felt uncomfortable It's true, but she always looked at Wang Shang as if she was looking at another person.

Lin Cheng stretched out his hand and grabbed Wang Shang's arm. Wang Shang was wearing long sleeves, and Lin Cheng rolled up his sleeves, a little eagerly.

"Slow down." Seeing Lin Cheng's rough actions, Zhang Han couldn't help reminding him.

"What's your heartache, it's just an NPC, and besides, it's already dead." Lin Cheng gave a "tsk", frowned, and continued his actions.

Wang Shang's sleeves were rolled up to his shoulders, Lin Cheng lifted his arm to check, the light in the basement was dim, Lin Cheng asked Bai Qian, "Is there a flashlight?"

"No." Bai Qian glanced at Lin Cheng to deny it, but continued in the next second, "But there is a mobile phone."

Lin Cheng held the arm of the deceased, looked up at Bai Qian in the interval, and said with a chuckle: "Little Qianqian, why are you panting so much when you speak."

Bai Qian ignored him, took out his mobile phone from his suit pocket, turned on the flashlight, and turned on the lamp for Lin Cheng.

After Lin Cheng laughed, he continued to look down at Wang Shang's arm.

With the mobile phone flashlight, the details look clearer. There are a few strangle marks on Wang Shang's arm, which are not blue yet, very fresh.

"Stroke marks? Is it related to those hemp ropes?" Bai Qian also saw the strangle marks on Wang Shang's arms, and began to speculate about the hemp ropes.

"What hemp rope?" Zhang Han asked doubtfully, wiping away his tears.

"There is a ball of hemp rope on the low tea table over there." Bai Qian replied.

"Well, isn't this relationship obvious?" Lin Cheng continued to look at the strangle marks while answering the words of the two. After speaking, he looked at Ko Nai who was holding up his mobile phone and said, "Qianqian, don't turn on the lights. Take a picture for me." He blinked at Baiqian.

Sensing Lin Cheng's gaze, Bai Qian quickly averted his gaze, turned off the flashlight of the phone, pulled out the camera, and handed the phone to Lin Cheng.

Zhang Han pretended not to hear the interaction between Lin Cheng and Bai Qian, but in fact she didn't listen much, her face was full of worries.

Lin Cheng watched Bai Qian's hastily dodging movements, took the phone with a smile, and took a few photos of the strangle marks.

"Why did the deceased have strangle marks on his body, but the hemp rope was put aside? If the deceased was bound to the basement, why should he be loosened?" Bai Qian looked back at the strangle marks on Wang Shang's arm Eye hemp rope, a little puzzled.

Lin Cheng didn't answer, and after taking the photo, Lin Cheng put down Wang Shang's arm, and said to the two, "Why don't you see Wang Jianjia and Liu Wei?"

"It's up there. I went to deliver clothes to Shang Shang just now, and I heard the two of them in the bedroom on the second floor." Zhang Han was still sitting on the ground, answering Lin Cheng's question.

"Then let's go up too." After listening to Liu Wei's words, Bai Qian didn't know what he was thinking about, so he came back to his senses and suggested to the two of them.

"Okay, little Qianqian, it's dark and humid here, let's go quickly." Lin Cheng stood up, patted the dust that didn't exist on his body, smoothed the long hair on his forehead, and said while holding Bai Qian's hand.

"Wait." Bai Qian said softly, Lin Cheng glanced at Bai Qian, and Bai Qian continued: "We have to bring the dead up."

Lin Cheng's eyelids twitched, didn't his cute little Qianqian mean to let him carry the corpse up?He originally wanted to hold Xiao Qianqian's hand!

He turned his head and looked at Zhang Han who was still sitting next to the corpse. Zhang Han looked up at Lin Cheng, quickly got up from the ground, and smiled awkwardly at the two of them with red eyes: "I, I can't hold him."

Lin Cheng's smile slowly collapsed, he had no choice but to follow Bai Qian's order and picked up the corpse, and the three of them left the basement together.
