The evening of September 18, 2013

Exterior of the amphitheater

At this moment, the people in the hotel lobby have already returned to their guest rooms to sleep one after another, and some have gone to the entertainment room. Those who stayed in the garden have also been arranged by the hotel manager to the second floor banquet hall to make room for Xie Yunmeng and Yun Yeyao.

At this moment, the actor and the detective looked very serious, and the case was getting more and more complicated. Xie Yunmeng was asked by the General Administration of S City to fully cooperate with the case investigation here. He is now discussing countermeasures with Yun Yeyao.

"Why did the General Administration ask you to cooperate with the investigation?" Yun Yeyao asked.

"Because there is one of our forensic doctors who may have been involved in the murder and arson incident in the Villa Shedens. Moreover, the only two survivors in Villa Shedens have not been found yet, and the police only received an anonymous call. The content said that two survivors in Villa Shedens have been involved in the hotel, and a forensic doctor who came from S City is investigating the truth of the case with them. Nothing else has been said."

"How many bodies were found in the Villa of Sheedens?"

"Three pieces." Xie Yunmeng had answered this question just now, so he looked at Yun Yeyao with some surprise.

Yun Yeyao shook his head and said, "What you are talking about is two half-body corpses and a man's complete corpse. There are many corpses. But these cannot prove that there are only three corpses. Why did the murderer dismember the corpse? What is his purpose? We all know nothing about what we want to cover up. Moreover, the testimony provided by Ye Lin can prove that last year's incident was definitely the murderer's preparation for this murder."

"I have informed the local police about Ye Lin, and they will soon send someone to take Ye Lin away and extract her confession. The local police also believe that the murder incident in our city last year is inseparable from the incident in the Siddens Villa, so they contacted the General Administration of S. But the problem now is that the murderer still has no idea who it is? We cannot alarm the snake. The General Administration means that I will secretly investigate in the hotel and find out the real murderer hiding here, as well as the survivors and missing forensic doctors."

Xie Yunmeng frowned as he spoke, looking worried. He continued: "It's very difficult. The murder in the Villa Shedens cannot be announced yet. We can only stay at all guests until the party ends on the night of the 19th. In other words, we only have one day and one night to start taking action immediately."

"Xiao Yao, I have also considered the number of corpses you mentioned, but all the evidence at the scene has been burned out, and even the corpses have been burned to shrink and deform. It is completely impossible to piece together a complete corpse. The forensic department needs to inspect it small pieces to determine which part of the body it is, and then splice it bit by bit. This is a difficult and long process. It is impossible to determine how many corpses are in a day and a night." After Xie Yunmeng said that, he looked at Yun Yeyao.

Yun Yeyao asked: "Xiao Meng, have you all investigated the guests' true identities?"

"This has been checked a long time ago. All the registered identity information of the personnel has been compared by computers, so there is no problem. The places where you can enter the hotel and the park have been searched secretly, but the forensic doctor and the two survivors have not been found."

"Are you talking about all the places you can go in? Are there any places where the hotel has been closed before?"

"Yes, the Blue Rose Cafe on the right side of the hall and the amphitheater above the cafe. According to the hotel manager, the two places were blocked as early as the night of the 16th. The amphitheater was afraid that the audience would destroy the newly arranged stage setting, and it would not be opened until the day of the premiere. The cafe was temporarily closed because the boss who contracted him had something to do, so it would be closed for about two or three days, but it would definitely open on time on the premiere day, because if the cafe was not opened, it would only be safe to enter the elevator inside by a safe exit. It would be very troublesome if there were too many spectators." Xie Yunmeng explained to Yun Yeyao.

"The night of the 16th was the night when the murder occurred in Villa Sidens. The murderer was still in the villa at that time and it was impossible for him to come to the hotel, so we completely ruled out the possibility that the missing persons were in the cafe and the amphitheater."

After hearing Xie Yunmeng's words, Yun Yeyao fell into deep thought. The criminal police said nothing wrong. According to the time comparison, it was indeed impossible for those two places to hide anyone. But...

"Xiao Meng, was the fire time before dawn on the 17th or after dawn?" Yun Yeyao asked suddenly.

Xie Yunmeng was stunned for a moment, then replied: "It should be just dawn, and it was almost four or five o'clock in the morning."

"Xiao Meng, please call the hotel manager over quickly. I have something to ask him."

Looking at Yun Yeyao's anxious expression, Xie Yunmeng knew that he must have thought of something. So he immediately stood up and wanted to find the hotel manager by himself, but Yun Yeyao pressed him down.

"Don't go... This murderer is too cruel. He has committed such a big case. No matter what obstacles he encounters, I am afraid he will be anxious... So, we can't separate, otherwise... I will be uneasy." Yun Yeyao said the last four words and his voice became very light. Since he learned about the case of Sidens Villa, he has actually been worried. Compared to himself, he is more afraid of his friends' mistakes.

Yun Yeyao knows Xie Yunmeng's character very well. No matter what kind of criminal this person encounters, he will try his best to arrest him regardless of his own safety. Just like the hostage incident mentioned by the old detective on the snowy mountain a year ago, Yun Yeyao has not told Xie Yunmeng yet. He knows that. In the eyes of the old detective, this is what a good detective should do, but in Yun Yeyao's heart, it has become the reason why he is worried every time Xie Yunmeng comes to the police.

After pausing for a moment, Xie Yunmeng did not insist anymore. Instead, he called a plainclothes policeman to explain a few words and asked him to come to the hotel manager immediately, and he sat down again. Xie Yunmeng always had a lot of feelings, and he had never seriously thought about why he protected Yun Yeyao? So he could not fully understand the meaning of Yun Yeyao's words.

However, since Xiaoyao said he was uneasy, he was willing to stay unless he needed to arrest the criminal immediately!

Trying to avoid the idea that was not related to the case in his heart, Yun Yeyao said to Xie Yunmeng: "I think we must open the Blue Rose Cafe and the amphitheater and go in and check it. While it is still time, we must not let any place go. Even if it is impossible, we must check it before making a conclusion. Also, find a way to get the boss of that cafe to come and be investigated together. I think this is very important."

"Yes," Xie Yunmeng replied: "I will immediately notify the police outside to find the owner of the Blue Rose Cafe and ask him to go to the hotel to open the door immediately."

"No, Xiao Meng, we can't wait for him to come. Time is in a hurry. You must break into the door first." Yun Yeyao seemed more nervous than before. He had very bad guesses. But it is still impossible to explain clearly.

This made Xie Yunmeng feel a little embarrassed and said, "Blue Rose Cafe is a private contract and is not a hotel management at all. Moreover, I have reported the situation of the cafe to the bureau. The local police officers in the clothing of the clothing cooperated with the investigation. If you want to find a reason to force it into, if nothing is investigated, it will probably be very troublesome."

"But, Xiao Meng..."

What was Yun Yeyao just about to say? There was a burst of rapid footsteps behind the two of them. It was the hotel manager who came over. As soon as he arrived by Xie Yunmeng, he immediately asked: "Mr. Criminal Police, is there anything you need to ask me? I didn't let any of the guests upstairs leave. Now I want to have fun at the cocktail party in the lobby on the second floor. As for the cost issue, I have reported to the hotel owner, and he said that the full responsibility is to be contracted by our hotel."

The hotel manager couldn't wait to report the situation upstairs. He was sweating profusely. It could be seen that he was very nervous. This kind of thing would be a fatal blow to the hotel management. Maybe in a few days, they would all be unemployed. The hotel staff must be unhappy in everyone.

Before Xie Yunmeng could speak, Yun Yeyao asked first: "Your investor is the hotel owner, is it Mr. Luo Yifan?"

"Yes." The hotel manager replied immediately.

"Also, what time is the specific time for the Blue Rose Cafe to be closed? Do you know?"

"It's not very clear, but I asked their employees and it seemed that they received a call from their boss at around 2 a.m. on the 17th, saying that they were closed with the amphitheater and let them rest at home for the time being."

"What kind of person is the owner of Blue Rose Cafe? Have you ever seen it?"

"No, I just spoke to her on the phone. I should be an older woman. At least I can hear the sound... I am in my 50s."

“So when did the amphitheater close?”

"It was around 8 pm on the 17th, and the last worker left and came to my place to register."

Yun Yeyao turned around and asked Xie Yunmeng: "Have you seen the registration information?"

"Yes, we have investigated all the registration information." Xie Yunmeng has been listening carefully to the conversation between the two people, so he answered very quickly.

After sending the hotel manager away, Yun Yeyao said: "No one in the hotel knows that Luo Yifan is one of the survivors of the Villa Sidens. And, didn't the anonymous insider say that the two survivors in the villa have been involved in the hotel. Now, no matter whether they are the suspects or not, since the hotel manager can call Luo Yifan, we can find out where Luo Yifan is at this moment. I suspect that Meihua, Ms. Fan, and Mr. Forensic are all with Luo Yifan. One of them is the murderer in the Villa Sidens, so these people are very dangerous to be together."

"In this way," Xie Yunmeng stood up again and said, "Xiaoyao, go with me, call the head of the task force to report on the Blue Rose Cafe, and find Luo Yifan's location to deal with it. As soon as we obtain approval, we will immediately investigate."

"Does it take a long time?" Yun Yeyao asked.

"No, because now all the people related to Villa Sheedens have entered the hotel, so the task force's response will definitely be very quick."

The two of them quickly left the hotel lobby. As they walked, Xie Yunmeng called the police station. At this moment, "Wei Jun" who was quietly hiding in the corner of the entertainment room immediately followed them. "Wei Jun" seemed to want to find an opportunity to say something? But he was very hesitant. Xie Yunmeng mentioned that Luo Yifan is now one of the suspects, which made "Wei Jun" very scared.

In fact, the real identity of this fake Wei Jun is still a mystery. We don’t know whether he pretended to be He Yan, the waiter who had monitored Xie Yunmeng in the cafe, or had other identities.

——

In the early morning of September 17, 2013

Interior of the amphitheater

Xie Yunmeng has now fully understood the specific situation of the serial murder in the Sidens Villa. He also carefully inquired about the structure of the villa and the time when everything happened.

Then she began to make preliminary reasoning with Luo Yifan. There was only Ms. Fan next to her. She was now the luckiest of all the victims attacked by the murderer. She was actually packed in a large wooden box and suffered a little bit of minor injuries.

Mo Haiyou asked Luo Yifan: "Before you go upstairs on the night of the 15th, Mrs. Tsingxin Suxin cleaned up the dinner plate, and then Mrs. Tsingxin went to the kitchen to wash dishes, while Mrs. Tsingxin stayed in the living room to clean. Can you be sure that you didn't get the identities of these two people wrong at that time?"

"Absolutely impossible. The way to distinguish these two old ladies is very simple, that is, one has tooth decay and the other has no tooth decay. Mrs. Sweetheart loves sweets, so her teeth are very decayed, while Mrs. Suxin looks much better on the surface."

"This does not fully explain that they cannot disguise themselves and exchange identities. If Mrs. Suxin deliberately adds tooth decay in advance and Mrs. Sweetheart has repaired her teeth, can you still confirm their identities like this?" Mo Haiyou questioned.

Luo Yifan could only admit that he was not sure about this, but he still said: "Mrs. Sweetheart is the victim, and Mrs. Suxin has been staying in the room and has been swallowed by the fire. If they are the murderers, why don't they arrange a way out for themselves?"

"What we are discussing now is not the specific identity of the murderer, but who has the opportunity to act. According to you, Sweetheart and Suxin hate someone to help them do housework together. That is to say, only Mrs. Suxin has been to the kitchen alone after dinner. Therefore, in the kitchen, killing people and turning on the gas, and preparing for the explosion, only Mrs. Suxin can do it, unless someone sneaks into the kitchen after you go to bed."

"This can also show that it is possible that the deceased in the kitchen is the first victim. Judging from the degree of decay you described, the time of death also matches. As for the corpses that are still bleeding, they are obviously not rotting and should not come from the bodies in the kitchen. In this way, I think there are two deceased in the kitchen, and at least someone has moved the corpses of a deceased in the room to that place."

"So I continue to extend. I don't think the murder in the kitchen was done at one time. The murderer first killed the first victim, then cut off the body below the waist, hid the body, and finally left the kitchen as if nothing had happened. He just hid the body under the counter in the kitchen and locked the door. The half of the glass wall facing the living room was not transparent, and you could not deliberately look at the kitchen."

"Suppose, this is indeed done by Mrs. Suxin. Let's not study what method the old lady did? Judging from time and behavior. Mrs. Suxin killed the victim who was fainted in the kitchen, and then went to bed with everyone as if nothing had happened. Before 12 o'clock in the evening, she would send her back to the kitchen to hang up the upper body, replace the original lower body with the corpse, then open the gas in the kitchen, lock the kitchen door, leave with the lower body of the corpse, and continue to hide it elsewhere. In this way, the fly flies can make sense."

"The smell of flies is very sensitive, and the smell of dead people can be smelled even through the door and wall. They must have entered the murderer when he entered the kitchen for the second time. After analysis, the only one who is most likely to act is Mrs. Suxin. If Mrs. Suxin is the murderer, then Mrs. Sweetheart will definitely not be able to escape."

"In this way, two people should have died before you get up at 12 o'clock. The first is the mysterious victim in the kitchen, and the second is the dead who was cut into corpses. It is possible that the dead in the room of the 'Red Eye Ghost'. The murderer made a sound at the door of your room in the middle of the night and extended the scratches on the floor to the door of the 'Red Eye Ghost'. I think he was deliberately guiding you to find the body."

"I believe you are telling the truth here, so our conflict arises. As I said just now, if Su Xin acts, Shiny will never be able to discover it. And you said that Shiny and Su Xin have a very good relationship. They have never married in their lives and have lived together. Two people with such deep feelings should not be able to kill each other. So I still think that they are either accomplices or are both innocent."

"Before you entered the room, you heard a scream that was suspected to be sweetheart or softhearted, so you opened the door of the 'Red Eye Ghost' room with the key on your body. This shows that the door was not locked from the inside by the murderer, which further confirmed the fact that the murderer hopes you find the body in the room."

"You saw Mrs. Sweetheart being put in a big sack and thrown on the only bed in the center of the room. There was no large piece of blood around the bed and floor. And Mrs. Sweetheart was still alive. A new doubt here appeared: First, an old lady over 60 years old, after her lower body was cut into corpses, could she still notice other abnormalities inside the room, and she stood upright in an instant to point you out the direction? I think this is impossible. In this case, it is already a miracle that the old lady did not die. Even if she screamed, I felt that she should not have the strength to send it out."

"Second, if half of the old lady's body was cut into corpses by the murderer before you entered, then blood would have gushed everywhere. With just a sack, it would be impossible to stop the large amount of blood from the inside of the body. After you ran out of the room and met with everyone, your body was not stained with blood. This is a very unreasonable place."

"Third, we need to go back to the previous question. The basis for judging sweetheart's identity is the familiar appearance and the teeth that have been decayed. However, when a person suffers extremely in pain and distorted face, his appearance will change. And tooth decay can also be formed by eating more sweets and not brushing his teeth in advance, which won't take long. Therefore, I think sweetheart may deliberately play the role of a corpse."

"You have a certain sense of rejection of the 'Red Eyes Ghosts' House, so you have never lived in once after it was built. The two ladies of Sweetheart Suxin know much more about this room than you. They tamper with it, such as digging a hole in the bed and the ceiling on the first floor, and then using some decorations downstairs to cover it up. It is not impossible to use this method to hide the prepared corpse. Mr. Luo, have you ever carefully seen the sack on Sweetheart?"

"No, I saw that there seemed to be someone in the sack, so I rushed over to help her untie it. At that time, I was completely unaware that a murder might occur, so when I opened it, I was frightened when I saw Mrs. Sweetheart's appearance, and the sack did not continue to untie it."

"That's right. It's possible that the bottom of the sack extends to the bottom of the bed. Didn't you say that the color of the sheets and quilt covers deliberately imitated the color of the magma? Even if the red of the magma is stained with blood, you may not be able to find it immediately. Of course, part of this is a complete guess. The police officers at the scene need to investigate the scene to prove its authenticity. Assuming that the body is hidden under the bed, Mrs. Sweetheart is standing on the bed in a very painful way, she shows you. She directs your attention to the terrifying wardrobe covered with blood, making you wonder if there is anything else in the wardrobe."

"When your attention is shifting to the wardrobe, Mrs. Sweetheart suddenly let out a second scream, then transfer the body below to the top, and her lower body quickly sinks into the hollow under the bed. The sack that slides downwards, Mrs. Sweetheart's upper body and a large amount of blood gushing out can well cover the traces of the hole on the bed, and the scattered body will of course roll everywhere. As long as the police officers on the scene prove that the bottom of the bed has indeed been dug up, my inference will be valid. This is why the murderer immediately locks the door from the inside as soon as you leave the room."

"If she doesn't lock her up, you may have entered the scene again. At that time, there were so many people and eyes, the secrets under the bed would be exposed."

Luo Yifanzai listened carefully to Mo Haiyou's analysis and said, "I admit that Mrs. Sweetheart Suxin is indeed possible to do all this, and if you analyze it like this, the masked man suddenly appears can explain it. After seeing a large number of corpses and blood, I was panicked and wanted to go out to confirm the situation of others immediately. When I rushed to the door of the room, Mrs. Suxin, who was disguised as a mask, was actually waiting for me at the door. She ran quickly from one side of my body to attract my attention, and then, Mrs. Sweetheart, who had climbed up from the bed, left the room from the other side of me."

"The room of the two ladies of Sweetheart Suxin is next to the 'Red Eyes Ghost God'. As long as Suxin covers the door in advance, Sweetheart will easily hide in the room. Then, Suxin waits for me to get outside and locks the door completely. Sweetheart just quickly change clothes and rush out of the room with everyone."

"But there are still two things that don't make sense here. First, Sweetheart Suxin is over 60 years old. In recent years, they have been bent down and hunched backs in hunching, and they can't move so quickly. The masked murderer I saw can not only move quickly, but also have a straight body, just like a young man. Secondly, if Mrs. Sweetheart stays with the corpse, her body and feet will be stained with blood no matter what! Why didn't she leave any traces on the floor when she switched the room? And the two sisters didn't have time to eliminate the traces."

"There is another problem, that is, the tooth decay problem you have always emphasized: If Su Xin deliberately lets her teeth decay in order to disguise Sweetheart, I admit that it makes sense. But now Su Xin has replaced the sweetheart disguised as a corpse in the room, then the one that rushed out of their room afterwards should still be Mrs. Sweetheart. I remember seeing her teeth at that time, at least there are no tooth decays in the places I can see! How did they disguise tooth decay?"

Mo Haiyou nodded and said, "I admit that the first two parts you said are indeed unreasonable, but I think the third question has been working with the teacher for so many years, so you shouldn't have such doubts. Special effects makeup can change the shape of a person's entire face, let alone the appearance of a few teeth! Whoever is it? If you want to deliberately understand this knowledge, you should have a chance! What's more, Mrs. Sweetheart who has been in contact with you all year round."

After hearing the rebuttal, Luo Yifan realized that his analysis was indeed not careful enough, so he chose to remain silent for the time being and continue to listen to Mo Haiyou.

"Anyway? One thing I have to admit is that in this murder operation, the speed requirement is very high. If you slow down a little, you may find a flaw." Mo Haiyou said: "Next, all the remaining people will come out of the room together. According to your thinking at that time, the people missing in the house are Meile and the sweetheart lady who has already 'dead'. So is it possible that the identities of Meihua and Meile will be exchanged?"

Luo Yifan thought for a moment and replied: "It is impossible. I can definitely recognize the voice of Meihua speaking. Meihua must be present at that time."

"Then, I guess, it is very likely that the half-body corpse that died first and was hung in the kitchen was the most dam. Meihua must have lived until early this morning, otherwise she would not have appeared in this amphitheater to pretend to be Meila. This also proves in disguise that while you escape from the Villa of Shedens, Meihua also escaped together."

"Mr. Luo, no matter what you say, I still think that the one who died in the villa was Meile, and that the one who appeared in the theater was Meile. Although the key reason here has not been clarified, it is certain that Meile and Suxin Sweetheart are absolutely inseparable from this case. After the house of "Red Eyes Ghosts and Gods" was locked, you did not see the corpse of Meile and Suxin at all. The only person who died in front of you was Wei Jun and the female corpse in the kitchen. And I think that the only person who was actually missing was Meile. The reason why the murderer burned the entire house was to cover up the entrances and exits you didn't know, and the tricks that the twins might play!"

"For the Villa Shedens, the people who are most familiar with it are nothing more than those who live in it every day. And those who can add secret entrances and exits to the villa without knowing it can only do it. So I think you don't have to blame yourself for not saving Meihua and Suxin from the villa. It is very likely that they are the people behind the scenes who want to kill you."

"Also, He Yan, when you find Wei Jun's body, you should focus all your attention on the upstairs. Why do you find the corpse in the kitchen that you have never paid attention to? This is a suspicion of deliberately guiding you to discover the body and gas! This may indicate that the murderer in the villa does not want to kill you, but just doesn't want you to know more secrets. After completing the murder, he immediately used the explosion to drive you out of the house."

"Mr. Luo, think about it carefully. Did He Yan do anything strange when you and He Yan searched for the living room and lounge on the first floor?" Mo Haiyou asked.

At this time, Luo Yifan also realized the problem he was neglecting and said: "Indeed, I did not carefully check the living room, but went to the lounge, and wanted to enter the kitchen from the lounge to check. He Yan was responsible for locking the doors and windows in the living room. Why didn't he find such obvious bodies in the kitchen? Instead, he had to wait until Wei Jun died to suddenly find out? Another thing: Before I was about to enter the kitchen, He Yan, who had been calm, suddenly questioned the fact that my clothes were not stained with blood! And he seemed very nervous. It seems that He Yan's suspicion was also rising."

"Yes, Mr. Luo, this matter must be completed with at least two murderers. We must spread the suspect target and not just focus on one person. We will contact the teacher immediately, tell him all the analysis and reasoning, and let the teacher inform the local police."

Mo Haiyou mentioned the words of the police and made Luo Yifan suddenly remember Xie Yunmeng, who was about to attend the garden party with Yun Yeyao. He immediately said: "On the evening of the 18th, there will be a criminal policeman from your hometown. He will attend the second garden party with an actor. I have sent them a message for help, but when I escaped, I was blocked by the crazy He Yan and did not send the message. They might be able to help."

"What's the name of that detective?" Mo Haiyou asked.
Chapter completed!
