Chapter 13 The Murderer

June 2030, 09, 30:[-] pm.

Six people gathered in the hall on the first floor of the villa.Lin Xueji faded away from the cowardly look just now, and calmly analyzed, "Just 5 minutes ago, my 'boyfriend' Cao Shu had an accident in this villa. Everyone here, including me, is suspicious. I just introduced myself, There is nothing to say now, I suggest to conduct a round of evidence search first."

Everyone looked different and nodded.

The crystal chandelier in the hall is dimly lit, flickering from time to time due to unstable voltage, which is very permeating at night.

Lou Yi was a little timid, she rubbed her arms and suggested, "Maybe, why don't we divide into groups?"

Jing Zhexuan agreed, "I think it's fine. After all, there are 'murderers' among us. It's more dangerous to be alone."

Hearing this, everyone unanimously decided to collect evidence in pairs.When they were grouping together, Lin Xueji planned to go to the Rose Garden to investigate the body of the deceased, so she asked casually, "You Zi, do you want to go to the Rose Garden together?"

You Zi paused for a moment with an indiscernible expression, and then a cute smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he put his arm around Jiang Yi and said, "No, I would rather go to the master bedroom to check." Then he looked up at Jiang Yi. Yi pursed his lips and blinked, "Mr. Jiang, can you accompany me?"

A series of actions are very natural, without any sense of disobedience.

Everyone except Lin Xueji: Damn, this is actually your true face, right You Zi!

You Zi caught a glimpse of their expressions as if they had seen a ghost: Well, it seems that the effect is very good.

Lin Xueji didn't force it either, Mei Pu winked and teased, "Oh, isn't that for sure?"

Jiang Yi is about a head taller than You Zi, upon hearing this, he slightly bowed his head to You Zi and smiled, "Okay."

A total of six areas were opened in a round of evidence collection: the lobby on the first floor, the rose garden, the master bedroom, second bedroom, guest room and study on the second floor of the villa.

The final grouping was that Jiangyi Youzi searched the master bedroom and second bedroom on the second floor; Jing Zhexuan and Lin Xueji searched the rose garden and the lobby on the first floor; Lou Yi and Mei Pu searched the guest rooms and study on the second floor.

……

Jiang Yi and You Zi came to the master bedroom on the second floor.The master bedroom is very spacious and the decoration is simple and simple. The strange thing is that there are no feminine items, and it feels like there is only one person living there.

As soon as the two of them entered the door, they both smelled a faint fragrance, and Jiang Yi frowned.It smells like flowers, but he hates flowers, so I don't know what flowers it is.

I remember the last live broadcast You Zi said that he likes flowers very much, he asked: "Mr. You, have you smelled it?"

You Zi is really good at this, nodded, "It's Night Lily, look at that." He pointed in the direction of the window sill, and there was indeed a potted flower on it.

Jiang Yi had a premonition that this was a key point, so he asked, "Then what's so special about it?"

You Zi subconsciously pinched the knuckles of his index finger with his right thumb, as if he had thought about it carefully but to no avail, he tilted his head innocently: "Sorry, I don't know very well."

Not sure?

Jiang Yi's eyes flicked to explore, and it seemed that something flashed through his mind at this moment, but he didn't catch it.

After getting the answer, Jiang Yi nodded and didn't ask any more questions, and put the question down first.There was a broken photo frame on the bedside table. The photo was a group photo of four people. It looked like a family of four, with two children in the front, a boy and a girl.

After searching, You Zi found a safe from the cloakroom, which needs a password to unlock it.

A piece of paper was pasted on it:

7185=2,6331=1,9881=5

May I ask 4468=? , 1732=? , 3729=? ,8096=?

This is a very obvious reminder, generally as long as the answer password is solved, it will come out naturally.

You Zi raised his chin and frowned slightly, and said silently, "What does this mean?"

Jiang Yi took out the notebook and pen that he carried with him, calculated on the paper, and replied in a deep voice: "There is no rule."

After finishing speaking, he looked up and carefully browsed the contents of the paper. After more than ten seconds, he suddenly thought of something, and he turned the combination lock to 3015.

"Click", the lock is unlocked!

Although You Zi didn't want to ask at all, seeing that Jiang Yi himself didn't intend to speak up, he could only pretend to be curious for the sake of the program effect, "Wow, how did you know?"

Jiang Yi opened the door of the cupboard and took out a report sheet, and explained casually, "It's very simple, just look at the picture. 86988 has closed circles, and the answer is the number that appears in a string of numbers."

You Zi very cooperatively put on a look of sudden realization, blinking her starry eyes and smiling sweetly: "Brother Jiang Yi, you are so smart!"

Hearing his sweet voice, Jiang Yi instantly got goosebumps all over his body.But he still maintained a soft smile, "Thank you."

Jiang Yi opened the report, it was a medical record.The patient's name column above said "Qiao Guoan", and the diagnosis was hereditary heart disease.

"This should be the owner of this room." You Zi guessed.

Jiang Yi nodded, and unconsciously glanced at the pot of evening primrose on the window sill again, and couldn't help frowning.

What is the connection between these two?

……

The two took the time to come to the second bedroom. According to the decoration style and furniture, it was preliminarily speculated that it was a room for women.

There is a bed, a dressing table next to it, a large wardrobe and a desk.

There was nothing on the bed, so Jiang Yi came to the dressing table where the bottles and jars were placed, and found a medicine bottle from the left drawer. "There are discoveries."

Hearing the voice, You Zi quickly walked to his side, "This is..."

"I don't know." Jiang Yi turned the bottle around. There were traces of the label being torn off, and there were white oval tablets inside. It was difficult for non-medical students to tell what kind of medicine it was.

You Zi walked to the window and took a look, "There is no evening primrose here." Just as he was about to walk away, his vision suddenly flashed white.You Zi lowered his head, only to see a trace of white powder remaining on the window sill.

Seeing him staying there for a while, Jiang Yi walked over and asked, "Is there any question?"

You Zi hesitated for a moment, then pointed to that place and said, "Here, there are traces of white powder."

Jiang Yi looked down, and there happened to be a rose garden just below the window. "Could something have been accidentally left behind when it was thrown down?"

You Zi was silent, and it took a while to respond, "It's possible."

Jiang Yi turned his head and narrowed his eyes suddenly, looked at him carefully and smiled, "Why do you always pause for a long time when you speak? Are you trying to hide something?"

You Zi did not show the panic expression of being suspected at all, and looked at him calmly, blinked his eyes innocently and said: "Well, but how can I be sure that you are not a 'killer'? It is normal to have reservations in this situation Bar."

The atmosphere suddenly froze.At this moment, the broadcast suddenly sounded: "It's time for a round of evidence search, please return to the lobby on the first floor."

……

Lin Xueji went to the rose garden alone.In order to save time, she discussed with Jing Zhexuan to search separately, and Jing Zhexuan will be in the search hall at this time.

Under the pale moonlight, the large expanses of bright red roses lost their bright beauty during the day, making them look particularly eerie and frightening.

Lin Xueji walked a few steps inside and saw her "boyfriend".It was lying on the rose, and the expression on its face was frozen in horror and astonishment.Lin Xueji flipped through the "corpse" a little, but no fatal injuries were found, and the cause of death is unknown.

However, the exposed skin of the "dead man" was covered with traces of rose thorns, which looked shocking.Lin Xueji also found a piece of gold from its hand, with some soil still on it.Lin Xueji stood up and looked around, and saw that the water flowed into a sewer.

……

Jing Zhexuan stayed in the lobby on the first floor.It was very empty here, except for the six chairs and a long table they had just sat on, all they could see was a piano not far away.The sheet music on the piano turned to Canon - a basic etude.

Jing Zhexuan looked up and found that there seemed to be something on the huge chandelier, but he couldn't get it because the distance was too high.He guessed there would be a lift switch, but probably not here.

Going further inside is the sofa, TV and coffee table. He found an old yellowed newspaper from the TV cabinet. The title was "Top Ten Successful Companies in 2010, Joe's Enterprises are the No. [-]!" ", the specific content has been deliberately mosaiced, making it difficult to see clearly.

At this time, Lin Xueji came back from the outside to join him, but before he could say a few words, he heard the announcement from the radio.

……

Lou Yi and Mei Pu went to the second floor to search the guest rooms and study.It is not difficult to see from cosmetics, skirts and high heels that a woman is temporarily staying in the guest room, and the layout is simple and ordinary, nothing special.

Lou Yi and Mei Pu started searching, and Lou Yi found a mobile phone from the pillow on the bed.The mobile phone is very old, a Nokia that was commonly used 20 years ago.Lou Yi tried to turn it on, but failed.She called Mei Pu over, "Hey Mei Pu, take a look at this phone, is it broken or not?"

Mei Pu put down the high-heeled shoes in his hand, went over to study together, rubbed his chin and thought, "I think...shouldn't show us a broken phone, maybe it's out of battery, have you seen the charger?"

Hearing this, Lou Yi shook her head, "Then you must be looking for it?"

After all, the two continued to search.

However, they didn't find any useful information after searching for a long time, so Mei Pu simply sat down on the bed, "It's really a trap, there are too few clues!"

At this moment, he suddenly discovered that the bed he was sitting on was the kind with a gap between it and the ground.Thinking carefully about the places he hadn't looked for, he suddenly thought of - under the bed!

"Yiyi, come help me!"

Lou Yi had no objection, and the two of them pushed the bed away together, and sure enough, there was a floor under the bed that was a hidden compartment that could be opened!

Inside is the charger they want.After the phone is charged and powered on, it is turned on successfully.In the picture is a photo of a woman in her early thirties; there is a chat record without a name, and the content is: "She is out, I will pick you up."

Lou Yi was confused, "So this is the hostess cheating? That's not right, this is the guest room..."

Mei Pu was awakened by her, "It's also possible that the male master cheated. This is Xiaosan's room."

The two didn't speculate much, and quickly went to the study.

The strange thing is that there are only a few books in the bookcase in the study room, nothing special, and nothing is left on the desk. It can be said that there is no clue.It is not realistic to read so many books one by one.The two wanted to explore again, but the sound of the end of the broadcast suddenly sounded.

……

After a round of evidence search was over, everyone reunited in the lobby on the first floor.

Lin Xueji was the first to speak, "Let me sort it out first. It's the first time for each of us to come here, and besides me and the deceased, everyone has never had contact with the deceased before, right?"

Everyone: "Yes."

Lin Xueji continued to analyze, "That's very strange. Normally, our identities should be related to this place or the deceased, but today each of us is here for the first time, and we are independent and have no connection with each other. So the murderer's What was the motive for the murder?"

Jiang Yi took up the conversation calmly, "There is only one possibility—the murderer is outside, which means he is not anyone here."

Mei Pu was confused, "What do you mean? The murderer is among the six of us."

Jiang Yi's gaze swept across everyone present, and finally, whether it was intentional or unintentional, he happened to freeze on You Zi.There was a gentle smile on his face: "In other words, he replaced one of us and became one of us."
