Chapter 23 The Guests of Villa Lucifer and the Use of the Strange Roof
"I'm sorry, I was a little emotional just now. In fact, it's normal for you to suspect it. After all, such a bloody murder occurred, and everyone was besieged here." The former lady of Lucifer said in front of others that a little blush could be seen vaguely on the corners of her eyes, which was the result of hard friction, and some of the cosmetics were wiped off.
She continued: "You can ask me any questions, and I will answer them in detail. Whether you believe me or not, it is the most important thing for everyone to cooperate to find a way out."
Mo Haiyou still looked serious and did not comment. Xie Yunmeng was very helpful and smiled at the former wife of Lucifer, and the worst young actor Yun Yeyao finally relaxed.
The former lady Lucifer arranged the coffee cups one by one on the table with a handkerchief, and took out a small note, preparing to write the name of each person who had drunk the coffee.
"Are you going to mark them all?" Yun Yeyao came over and asked.
"Yes! Don't the police test these coffee cups in the future? If you mark them first, won't the police know who used them?"
"Then I'll write a note for you and tell me their names." Yun Yeyao was very active. It would be very uncomfortable to be surrounded here without doing anything. He didn't want to do this.
The former lady Lucifer forced a smile and said, "Okay, let's start with the people on the balcony. You sit here first," she pointed to the chair beside her."
After Yun Yeyao sat down, Lucifer's former wife spoke again. She handed the first coffee cup to Yun Yeyao and said: "This coffee cup that was broken in half and cracked was used by the tall and thin man under the curtain on the east side of the balcony. His name is Binbai, guest's Bin, white Bai. I don't know what my surname is. I am 33 years old and a sand painter."
"Oh." In response, Yun Yeyao quickly wrote on the note. "Okay, ma'am next."
"Well... this is the complete cup of Ms. Pang on the west side of the balcony curtain. She placed it on the floor sofa without breaking. Ms. Pang doesn't like others to call her name, so we all call her by the English name Candy."
"Hey!! That's a lady?!!" Yun Yeyao was very surprised. The fat man under the curtain didn't look like a woman, she was fat and rough, and her facial features were very masculine.
The former wife of Lucifer explained: "Although Candy looks like that, she has a gentle personality. She is also very good at taking care of people. Those of us who often gather together treat her like her elder sister. Candy is 41 years old. She opened a small shop herself and designed hats for people. In recent years, her business has begun to flourish. That, I remember that the hat you wore on the cover of a magazine seemed to be designed by Candy, which was worn obliquely with edges and corners."
As the former wife of Lucifer said, she gestured on her head. Perhaps Yun Yeyao was deeply impressed by this issue of the magazine, and he immediately remembered it.
"It's the 56th issue of the 'charming men'? I remember that the hat was bought at a place called 'Ms. Candy Hat Workshop'. Oh, Lady Candy, it's her!"
During the conversation, the white intact coffee cup was labeled with the words "Candy Candy".
Next was the man who was unconscious on a chair. He was 26 years old this year. He had a very strange English name: Jasmyn, which actually meant Jasmine. While recording, Yun Yeyao criticized the appearance of this man who did not match the Jasmine.
However, the man's job matches his name very well. He is the owner of a floral decoration store, and he is said to have good skills and his business is very popular.
The woman who fell under the sofa at the man's feet was called Yourui, or she could also call her Xiao Ai. She was obviously slightly injured. The former wife of Lucifer explained that she was the "moving bone corpse" that was hit by a forensic doctor down the stairs with a punch, but this matter cannot be blamed on Dr. Mo forbidden because there were not enough slippers in the house, and Yourui was playing the corpse wearing high heels at the time.
I never expected Mo Haiyou to take action. Maybe I didn't think that a bloody "corpse" would be pretended by a girl, so I can only say that both of them are wrong.
Yourui is 21 years old and has no job, but her parents seem to be very rich. She likes mature dress and is very brave. Like the former Lady Lucifer, she is basically not afraid of any kind of ghosts and monsters.
Both Yourui and Jasmyn's coffee cups were not broken, and Yun Yeyao quickly labeled them separately.
Next, it was the girl who leaned against the short stairs in front of the clock in the room. This girl was Miss Xing Meimi, a maid. She is 23 years old, but she looks only eighteen or nineteen years old.
How could she be in a coma? Yun Yeyao and former Lady Lucifer couldn't understand at all. Miss Xing Meimi did not have a coffee cup around her, and she was the hired maid from this family and should not drink the coffee prepared for the guests. Previous Lady Lucifer also proved that although Xing Meimi was usually smooth, she still followed the rules in her work. The crushed coffee cup in front of the stairs at the entrance of the living room should be the one she used before.
When the former Mrs. Lucifer left the underground floor, the coffee had been finished, so there was no brown stain near the crushed coffee cup, which also proved what she said.
Yun Yeyao asked: "Will the guest invite Miss Xing Meimi to have a cup of coffee? Then she used your coffee cup."
"How is this possible? Xiaomi never uses my stuff. Even if everyone invites her, she won't drink it. Because we often make pranks, Xiaomi is very taboo to be laughed at by others." Lucifer's former wife denied Yun Yeyao's problem.
With a look of confusion, Yun Yeyao turned around and asked Mo Haiyou for his opinion.
Mo Haiyou replied, "I'm not very clear yet, but I can believe the lady's words this time." He seemed to imply that he wanted to doubt other words from former Lucifer, so Yun Yeyao immediately glanced at the woman beside him and indeed saw the expression of trying to restrain his emotions.
"Okay, the coffee cup matter has been resolved," said Lucifer, the former lady of Lucifer, "What should we do with everyone's lunch? It's already 1:30 p.m. Should we solve this problem before everyone wakes up?"
"Xiaoyao, I'm not convenient. You go and prepare lunch with your wife." Mo Haiyou asked Yun Yeyao to stare at his wife. Although Yun Yeyao looked a little embarrassed, he still agreed readily.
Xie Yunmeng, who had been standing near the stairs to observe the up and down situation, said: "I'd better go up and see the situation of the corpse above. Maybe some breakthroughs can be found on the roof."
Hearing her words, the former Lady Lucifer stood and said, "No, the roof here is built to store water, so it is full of square pits like waffles. The roof floor is very thick and there is no place to go."
"Why do you need to store water?" Xie Yunmeng asked.
"Because my ex-husband is a very dull person, he built this house so that he can quietly immerse himself in his novel world, so not only is the remote location, but ordinary people can't find it at all."
"But what does this have to do with water storage?" Yun Yeyao didn't understand very well and interrupted.
"It's a big deal! The villa is remote, surrounded by rocks, and it's close to the sea. It's difficult for tap water pipes to get here. My ex-husband has asked for a lot of connections but hasn't connected to the tap water pipes. Moreover, City W is a northern city, which is cold, dry and does not rain too much."
"That's why he designed such a roof. There are special water purification equipment in the roof compartment, which is connected to the water storage equipment below through some pipes. When the sea water fills the roof grooves every morning and evening, it will be directly desalinated by the water purification equipment and flow into the water storage tank. Then it comes out of the faucet through the tap water pipes we installed ourselves. We drink this water every day."
"Oh! No wonder I always feel that there is a salty smell in the tea. So that's it. But aren't you afraid of pouring into the house at high tides?" Yun Yeyao asked.
"No need to worry at all, all windows and doors in the house are sealed and impermeable. We are very familiar with the law of high tide and will close all entrances and exits of the house in time before the time arrives."
