There were no ceiling lights in the basement, and the only light source was only a few small wall lights on the edge of the wall. It was OK to decorate it, but it didn't have much lighting effect, which was equivalent to not having it.

Before Mo Haiyou and Yun Yeyao entered, the police had already brought temporary lighting tools due to investigation, so the basement of Atum cottage was illuminated as daytime.

Even the overlapping door secret passages were pressed on many small lighting lamps. In order to understand the overall structure of the basement, Mo Haiyou and Yun Yeyao did not go directly to the secret passage to check, but first came to the basement hall.

Standing in front of the four open doors, Mo Hai looked around on both sides and said, "Xiao Yao, let's summarize the clues so far. I'll hear how much reasoning you can come up with."

"Xiao Zuo, my reasoning and evidence may not coincide." Yun Yeyao reminded the forensic doctor so that Mo Haiyou would criticize his intuition after he said it.

"I want to hear it. I will analyze how much I adopt it." Mo Haiyou replied coldly. He always looked like this when he was working, and Yun Yeyao was used to it.

After lowering his head to tidy up his thoughts, Yun Yeyao said, "The main thing is to get clues within the kitchen and living room, as well as the four rooms here. There is not much valuable thing in the small room and secret passage downstairs."

"Combining the four door signs here, I can roughly analyze the basic status of this family, as well as their respective destinations. In addition, the relationship between the green leaves in the oak area and the green leaves here must be extraordinary." Yun Yeyao walked around, took turns to cover each door and took off the door sign above.

Because he was not wearing gloves, Mo Haiyou frowned slightly, but he did not intend to interrupt Yun Yeyao at this time, so he continued to remain silent and listened to the actor's words.

"I think the evidence collected by the police in the room was enough to explain the problem, so now there is no need to go in and re-inspection. I think the turning point shown by this matter has always been beyond my expectations from City S to City N. He was even more complicated than Lucifer's at that time."

"Let's talk about the kitchen first. The body fell between two chairs. Everyone has seen the situation in the kitchen, and it is easy to leave traces. Under the head of the body, we can see a pair of footprints that are obviously a man, indicating that the man was sitting in front of the deceased and discussing something with him."

"I can't guess what it is. One thing is certain. The deceased must have heard something that shocked or feared him, so he stood up from his chair and approached the person who spoke to him. This can be seen from the expression of the deceased's facial expression, and before he died, he should have wanted to attack the person who spoke to him."

"Also, I believe the arm in the pot was also left by the person who spoke to the deceased, but it was not cut at the time, but was cut off at the entrance of the secret passage. The specific time is for Xiao Zuo, you can only make a rough inference."

"There are blood-stained gauze threads and dripping blood on the edge of the chair where the speaker sits. This cannot be the deceased. The wounds of the deceased are on the back and behind the ears. The shape and position of the blood flowing out are different. This shows that the person who is talking is injured on one arm or on the side of the body."

"If the side of the body is injured, the blood should slide down from the side and then drip to the floor. In this way, the blood spot will be very small and not so dense. If the arm is injured, the normal state of dripping blood at the blade will be similar to what I had just done."

"The blood slid down from the side of his arm and then dripped onto the floor. Due to the absorption capacity of the clothes, there would not be so many blood spots. So I concluded that this person must have broken half of his arm, so the blood spots on the edge of his chair were very large and concentrated in one place. Xiao Zuo, do you think I was right?" Yun Yeyao asked with anticipation. No matter how simple the question was, he also hoped to be recognized by Xiao Zuo.

Mo Hai nodded right and said, "It's very correct, continue."

"If the arm was cut off in the kitchen, that's not right. The cross-section of the arm is very flat, and it can be concluded that it was caused by a single knife! This kind of damage will cause blood to gush out immediately, but there is no splattering blood on the floor in front of the side of the chair, so the assumption of being cut in the kitchen can be ruled out."

"Look at the entrance of the secret passage, there are broken marks on both sides, and it is obviously expanded by something or person. In other words, there is a person or object larger than the door frame, which is forcibly stuck there. The inside of the stuck position is the splattered blood stain we just mentioned."

"My judgment is that the person sitting in the kitchen talking to the victim didn't know why before entering the kitchen. Maybe he was chasing someone or running away, but the possibility of running away was obviously not high. In short, this person was stuck in the door frame, and then someone on the inside of the secret passage wanted to kill him with one knife when he couldn't move."

"However, the person stuck in the door frame is obviously not a person who sits and waits for death or loses ability to move due to panic. I looked carefully when I passed the stairs just now. The wood at the edge of the door frame was very severely broken, which shows that the person stuck in it is constantly struggling and twisting."

"It is possible that in desperation, the stuck person blocked the knife with the only arm that can move, which caused the entire arm to be cut off, and then someone outside rescued him. The issue of companions is involved. I always believe that if the actual crime is temporarily ignored and the purpose of the crime is considered at the ideological level, there should be only one murderer in this Atum hut."

"But I don't have any superficial evidence to prove this. Back to the topic, based on the traces left inside and outside the door frame, let's first look at the external stairs. The blood stains should be said to be very scattered. Some are in pieces, and some are sprinkled everywhere in drips. You don't object to this!"

"Yes." Mo Haiyou's answer has always been concise and clear, and there is no need to talk about it. Almost all of them are used to deal with it with yes or no.

Yun Yeyao continued to say: "The reason for this situation is that this person is very panicked and nervous after he gets rid of the shackles. In addition, the people around him are also busy, so his position is constantly moving."

"Judge how many people are around him? This is very simple. You still have to go back to the remaining traces. On the stair platform facing the door frame, although there are only some blood dots scattered on the stars, if you look closely, there are several blood dots in them. Putting them together one by one, just like two semicircular objects blocking there, so that the blood dots splatter on the shape formed on it."

"Turn the position a little further, and the blood spots on the stairs platform will be complete. What does this mean? It means that a person who was frightened and limp was kneeling there! Xiao Zuo, for the past few years, I have been learning from the teacher. Under special circumstances, the physical and mental behaviors a person can do. It can also be said to be psychology! But I don't think it is all."

"Because of unexpected panic, most people will be frightened and unable to react in a daze. Some will be frightened in serious cases. Some will be frightened and will be crazy. Some will be more relaxed and will be lying on the ground and crying or trembling."

"Suppose my inference was correct, there was indeed a person kneeling here and was frightened. Then his state should be in a daze and unable to react, which is the first type I just mentioned. At this time, a person will not fall to the ground, but will stop after making a specific action, and his thinking will be focused on the opposite thing that scares him until his brain can react on the spot."

"So, there are only traces of this person's knees and toes on the ground, but the toes are hidden behind them, and the blood spots that are spilled cannot be reached. Well, at this point, we have found the first companion for the person stuck in the door frame. Where is his second companion? On the footprints back and forth."

"There are a set of footprints back and forth on the opening of the secret door frame. Although they are not complete, they can still be clearly seen at a glance. The smaller set of footprints rushed from the stairs to the front of the door frame, paused at the front of the door frame, and continued to trample and overlap, which shows that the person outside is desperately rescuing the person stuck on the door frame."

"In the end, they succeeded, and then the two of them ran up the stairs again, so the reverse footprints looked like two people, one big and one small, and blood was obviously splattered near the big footprints. The injured must be the owner of the big footprints, and the owner of the small footprints was probably a woman looking at the span of the footprints."

"According to my judgment, when the broken arm incident occurred at the stairs door frame, there were at least four people present. This is part of the obvious evidence to explain. Let's analyze some clues based on the door sign."

Yun Yeyao handed the first door sign to Mo Hai's right hand in the order of the room, which said, "Jiu Yin, from 6 am to 12 noon, please prepare enough water." Yun Yeyao continued: "If it is water, either the person in the room is a person with a throat or trachea problem, and needs to be used to relieve cough."

"Either the people in the room can't control themselves and like to speak, so they need to drink water at any time; in addition, some special groups that are prone to discharge water in large quantities are not ruled out. So it's not easy to guess. Xiao Zuo, what do you think?" Yun Yeyao asked.

Mo Hai walked right to the door of Jiu Yin's room and said, "It's an autistic person. Come and see, there are dolls, golden silk threads, puzzles and red skirts, etc. There are four pairs of lovers here, which means that there is at least one pair of lovers living in each room. The one who is sick should be a man. The things on the ground are props he uses to maintain a sense of security. First of all, there are dolls and skirts in the room, which represent the symbol of a girl. Moreover, red and gold are warm colors, which usually represent joyful and positive meanings. It means that this man is very dependent on the girl he lives with."

"Secondly, the puzzle represents patience, which means that when the girl is away, she needs a man to wait patiently. The cover of the puzzle is a pattern of an animal forest, all of which are warm tones, but avoids large areas of bright red, indicating that the man needs patience and warmth, but cannot be too excited."

"There are many pieces of puzzle pieces, and the box says that there are more than 33,000 pieces. This should be to train a man's patience so that he can complete one thing calmly and balancedly. Then there is the problem of water. If you look carefully at these puzzle pieces, what else is there besides blood stains?" Mo Haiyou reminded Yun Yeyao.

But Yun Yeyao answered a question that was wrong with Niu Tou: "Xiao Zuo, are you also far-sighted?"

"What?" Mo Hai looked sideways for a moment and looked at Yun Yeyao in confusion, listening to him continue saying: "In addition to blood stains, there are also many black stains on the puzzle, especially on the edges, which means that people who often play puzzles are prone to sweat a lot. I can see clearly at the door, and you are the same. Xiao Zuo, you clearly know that I have a far-sighted eye, so why do you hide the same characteristics as me, and our faces are as similar!"

"Okay!!" Mo Haiyou was suddenly very angry, and his tone also improved a lot: "Please don't say anything irrelevant at the murder scene!"

Suddenly, Yun Yeyao was yelled and flattened his lips and swallowed the words behind him. He felt very wronged. In order for Xiao Zuo to admit their brotherly relationship, Yun Yeyao always took advantage of the situation and reminded Mo Haiyou in his own way. However... he didn't want to think about it anymore, Yun Yeyao lowered his head to adjust his emotions.

Mo Haiyou actually knew that he had lost his composure after yelling, but his temper and personality made him unable to comfort Yun Yeyao, so he could only pretend to be nothing and continue talking. In fact, the pain in his heart was no less than Yun Yeyao.

"Xiao Yao, people with severe autism usually hide themselves in a corner, not eating or drinking, but this can easily lead to exhaustion, so they probably agreed that everyone will leave at a specific time period, leaving only Jiu Yin and his lover together, so that he can replenish water and food."

"And this large amount of water should not only be provided to Jiu Yin, but his lover also needs it. It is not an easy thing to accompany an autistic patient around the clock. It requires a lot of energy and may also need to speak a lot to attract his attention. Therefore, they write this on the door sign so that the people who prepare the water will not forget it."

After Mo Haiyou finished speaking, he paused and waited for Yun Yeyao to analyze the people in the second room.

At this time, Yun Yeyao also raised his head again, and the traces just now were no longer visible on his face. He handed the second door sign to Mo Haiyou and said, "The second door sign reads 'Shinyu, from 12 noon to 18 pm, the stones and grass are my control'. I think the stones should refer to the viral wart rash on this person's body. The hard skin that fell in the corner of the room was indeed as hard as stones. But this has nothing to do with grass."

"One guess is that when he removes the wart rash, he needs to apply herbs like the dead in the kitchen to treat it, but the herbs in the kitchen are basically put into the soup pot and should be prepared for consumption, so the external application is unlikely. Another guess is that he needs to use other things to distract himself to achieve other aspects of treatment effect."

"And, I think viral wart ash is not the reason for this person to eventually live in seclusion, because there are many people suffering from wart ash, and it is also a relatively easy-to-treat disease. So it can only be judged by the way he looks in his room."

"The interior decorations of this room are in sharp contrast with the bed. The bedding on the bed is messy and it looks like people often sleeping, while the other decorations are neat and even thin dust accumulates on the edges, indicating that no one is cleaning it often."

"Looking at the living room, there are many simple potted plants. They are not like those who like potted plants. Some of them have turned yellow because of improper cultivation. This means that the person who fiddled with them is not a lover, but needs to use them to kill time."

"So, I think the grass on this brand is the potted plants, and the owner of the room is surprised that I am a narcolepsy patient. He needs to distract himself from falling asleep for a specific 6 hours. This is the real reason why he lives in seclusion here."

"Very good," Mo Haiyou praised it, and then said: "The next one is the third sign."

"The third door sign says: 'Xiao She, from 18 pm to 00 pm, provides a lot of meat.'. There are also not many strange places in this room, but if you look closely, there are more or less traces of human damage on the chairs and some small furniture. The inside of the door panel is also, Xiao Zuo, you see, there are dents of kicks and fists here, which means that this person must have a bad temper and is a very strong person."

"I guess he is the one with a broken arm, because judging from the traces he gave us before, he shows that he is very strong everywhere. As for meat, the word "provided" is used. It is possible that the meat is not what he wants to eat, but that during his time period, he must cook meat for those who will come later."

"After him, it should be the room of the deceased," Yun Yeyao said to Mo Haiyou with the fourth door sign; "You see, his door sign says that it means rejecting all guests, and his time is from 0:00 to 6:00 in the morning. What guests will come during this period? It can only be explained that this person needs to hide the deepest, and perhaps in addition to physical illness, he has other ulterior motives that need to be hidden."

"The best person in the third room is the person in the third room. We can assume that after he discovered that some people in the fourth room would be involved, he became angry and killed the man named Feng Xi, and then ran away. Perhaps Feng Xi first attacked him from the inside of the secret passage, and then killed him in the kitchen. The others, due to fear, escaped from the room."

"Maybe there are still loopholes in all the above reasoning, but at present, all I can think of is this."

After Yun Yeyao finished speaking, Mo Haiyou immediately continued, "This is enough. I will conduct a detailed inspection of the body and evidence as soon as possible. We are currently searching the people in this house in the whole city, which requires a lot of manpower. Xiaoyao, I will leave the scene later and I will send you home. You will stay at home for rest these days, and you will not be allowed to act privately without calling me in the future. Did you hear that?"

"No, you also said that I can participate in the whole process." Yun Yeyao was a little angry. He was not a patient and did not get the final answer. How could he rest with peace of mind?

"I will notify you after all the suspects are brought to justice. Besides, you can't help with the search for criminals!" Mo Haiyou said.

Unexpectedly, Yun Yeyao smiled and responded mysteriously to the forensic doctor: "Maybe I can help! It's not wrong to be a person who makes suggestions."

"I can guess all your suggestions, otherwise, do you think I'm stupid?" Mo Hai put his hands in his pocket and walked towards the back door of the basement. Yun Yeyao had to follow him closely.

"Where are you going to start?"

"Start with the intake and rescue station or some kind-hearted person's alarm information, the autistic patient could not go far when he sees his situation. Since he can't even step out of his home, it's even more impossible to go to the airport. They will definitely encounter obstacles on the road. At present, they can only start with these places."

"If you can't find it, consider the surrounding area of ​​the airport and those who have recently left the city by plane. Of course, there will be police in all places to set up controls to ensure that no suspicious people leave within the time frame of the investigation."

"Let me follow your little Zuo, I promise not to make trouble and never ask for unhappy things, okay?" Yun Yeyao quickly followed the forensic doctor and begged. This is something he would never do with Xie Yunmeng, because Xie Yunmeng's intentions are obviously much more than forensic doctors.

Mo Haiyou did not reject him, but just came out of the back door to check. However, when climbing the stairs, he still reached out and held Yun Yeyao's hand tightly, indicating that the forensic doctor always cared about Mr. Actor.

After leaving the back door, the two of them entered the street where Mo Haiyou saw the street where Shinyu was standing. Mo Haiyou recognized it at a glance, and also remembered the strange scene he saw at the window.

According to the current analysis, what he might have seen at that time was indeed a living person. The large area of ​​things like tree roots on the man's shoulders and face. If it was really caused by viral wart ash, it would be too serious. Mo Haiyou couldn't help but be surprised and a creepy feeling rose. He had never seen such cases before.

If this kind of patient is treated, it will take a long process, and whole body freezing treatment is not so comfortable. Mo Haiyou feels it is urgent to find those people, whether it is because of the case or their condition. The police need to get information as soon as possible.

Just when Mo Haiyou was thinking this way, the police officer who received a call from the hospital was already on his way to Atum hut.

——

The first couple found, as we had guessed before, was Jiuyin and Baozi. They were sent to the rescue station by kind passers-by. After the rescue station found that Jiuyin's condition was particularly serious, they directly called 120 and sent Jiuyin, who was struggling, to the hospital. Baozi could only passively accompany him throughout the whole process, and there was no better way to think about it.

More than two hours after Mo Haiyou and Yun Yeyao left Atum hut, they saw the pale and exhausted bun in the police station.

Baozi's original name is Bao Yanjun. Next, we will call her Xiaojun, which is better. The following is the statement made by Xiaojun to the forensic doctor and the actor.

"The first person to buy the Atum cottage was indeed Qingguo and Qingye. We only know that they are a brother and sister, and the reason for Qingguo to live in seclusion is very simple. One is because of his special couple identity with his boyfriend, and the second is to have a place where no one will disturb him, help Feng Xi treat his skin disease."

"In other words, is the actual owner of Atum cottage Qingye right?" Yun Yeyao asked.

"Yes, Aoba is both the actual owner and the manager. Just like the housekeeper, he is the only one who is with the basement and lives at home 24 hours a day. The three of us all have their own jobs, so we cannot stay at home all the time."

"Of the three girls, I stayed the longest, followed by Guigui. She would come every day when Shiyu appeared, and she would hang out on the streets for the rest of the time. Don't misunderstand that Guigui is not doing anything shameful. Although he was a bad girl before, he was just doing superficial things."

"Actually, Guigui has a special problem, that is, her eyes cannot be focused. This..." Xiaojun said this and didn't know what words to use to express it more appropriately. So after thinking for a while, he continued to say: "It's a bit like an elderly person with cataracts. There will always be ghosts when looking at things, and he cannot correctly aim at the places he needs to see."

"Anyway, I don't know what this disease is. Guigui himself has never told us the reason. In our family, everyone has a tacit understanding. If others don't want to say, they will consciously restrain themselves and not ask about it."

"Especially, Guigui is prone to losing his temper. This is very similar to Mr. Jishe who is furious. Anyway, as long as they are at home, it will be very noisy. So we arranged the time when Mr. Jishe appears between 12 noon and 6 pm, because at this time, Mr. Jishe will not sleep. In addition, when Guigui comes, the interaction between the two people can easily awaken Mr. Jishe, who suffers from narcolepsy."

Xiaojun's words have proved that Yun Yeyao's guess about the man in the second and third rooms is correct. However, Yun Yeyao still asked: "Xiaojun, why didn't you look at the viral wart ash on your body? It shouldn't be too difficult to cure it."

"Oh..." Yun Yeyao's question made Xiaojun sigh gently. She replied: "It's not that he doesn't want to see it, but that's already like that. Mr. Qianyu doesn't have much courage to walk out the door. Didn't you see him? His whole body, especially his shoulders and face, are as rough as tree bark, and the shoulders are raised high. Not only that, sometimes when the thicker hard skin is slightly removed, it will immediately flow out."

"Mr. Shinyu told us that he is also a poor person without relatives. When he first found out that he had such things on his body, he didn't pay attention to them. He thought he would fall out and he would soon get better. As a result, he grew older and became more and more inferior. He didn't even dare to go to the streets, let alone go to the hospital. In addition, his narcolepsy caused great trouble, so he would rather hide at home than let others see him more than others."

"The things on Mr. Shinyu seemed to have stopped growing since a few years ago. Guigui kept gently grinding off the hard skin for him. Now it looks much better than before. The two of them always like to do these things in a place with plenty of sunshine in the window at noon."

"At that time, Mr. Shinyu would roll up his body with curtains and let Guigui sit on his knees. Guigui's height is the taller among girls. When he is condescending, Guigui asked him to use a pointed and slender file to file the hard skin on his face."
To be continued...
