Chapter 450: Reasoning in the Tilting House Act 5: Fu Zi's Deception
"Miss An, what I want is to go upstairs from you, when he meets Wu Xinghan, and then go back to the details downstairs. Please be sure to tell me every detail, including what have you seen and what have you heard during this period?" Yun Yeyao added.
There was another long silence. An Lingxiang raised her head and prepared to speak, but the way she showed was still hesitant. Mo Haiyou interrupted at this time: "Miss An, please tell us the truth. This is not only related to yourself, but also to whether the person you love is innocent."
"I understand... I believe that Xiaojue will not kill people." An Lingxiang said as if she was comforting herself. Her eyes continued to favor the person sitting on the ground, as if this person would be identified as the murderer in the next second. Hesitation and uneasiness continued to torture the heart of the 21-year-old woman, making her sadder.
"I don't know why we quarreled that day? Since the morning, Xiaojue has been complaining about the things I have forgotten for the first time. In this family, I don't care about many things except for daily living habits, and I don't care about them. Forgotten is a common thing. Xiaojue never says it."
Yun Yeyao asked: "Did Mr. Fu complain all day long, or is it just complaining when you two are alone?"
"He never talks about these things in front of others. He cares about my face very much." An Lingxiang replied: "The morning before yesterday, our first quarrel happened in the room of the east room, and no one saw it."
Xie Yunmeng said: "But I think Mr. Fu had no scruples when he talked to me about you. The night before yesterday, after your second quarrel, Mr. Fu and I talked about you. He said that you would deliberately make pranks because you were angry, destroy some things at home and throw them into the lavender field. And I could hear that in his tone, you two often quarreled in the past,"
"Most of them are you making unreasonable troubles. Mr. Fu's words only give me a feeling that he doesn't love you. Please forgive me for saying this. Miss An, I don't even hear his basic respect for you."
Before Xie Yunmeng finished speaking, An Lingxiang cried out. She said loudly to the detective: "This is impossible. Little refusal has always tried to protect me. Since my parents left, Little refusal has been taking care of me. He is like mine..."
"It's like what you are?" Yun Yeyao asked.
An Lingxiang seemed to realize something was wrong in an instant, so she closed her mouth and her face turned paler than before.
Yun Yeyao followed his words and said, "It's like your father, not your lover. How many words do you think Mr. Fu Chi cares about you besides taking care of your daily life?"
"He... he just doesn't like to talk too much. He cares about me, I'm sure." An Lingxiang's self-comfort continued, but she couldn't think of a suitable reason to answer the questions raised by Yun Yeyao and continue to refute the conclusions drawn by Xie Yunmeng.
Luo Yifan had let go of the girl's shoulders and sat quietly on the side. He didn't say a word, and a faint redness could be seen under his lower eyes. Luo Yifan was thinking about his own reasoning. Compared with Yun Yeyao's reasoning, this was a rare opportunity. He wanted to know if there was a gap between him and Yun Yeyao? Even if there was, where was the gap?
A person with strong logical thinking can see through the thoughts of ordinary people, but may not be able to see through the ideas of another person with meticulous logical thinking. It is not that he cannot analyze it, but that he attaches too much importance to the blind spots. Therefore, the best way is to put the answers together and compare them with each other to see who is the person with the highest correctness.
Back to the point, An Lingxiang's words continued. She said: "Before I entered the stairwell, I saw the maid at home busy in the kitchen. I didn't talk to her, and I was not sure if the maid saw me. She was going to go upstairs. Xiaoqi seemed to be waiting for me in the stairwell. When I walked in, he stood at the window."
"Are you sure he stood at the window and didn't move?" Yun Yeyao asked.
"It should be... I didn't pay much attention to him at that time, Xiao Zhi asked me..." An Lingxiang paused when she said this, and asked with a blushing face: "Can I not repeat what Xiao Zhi said at that time? Those that have nothing to do with the case are really."
"Yes." Yun Yeyao could guess what was in the words by looking at An Lingxiang's expression, so there was no need to force her to say it out.
An Lingxiang continued to say, "After we quarreled for a few words, I angrily threw him down and went upstairs. I originally wanted to reconcile with him when I heard him speak so hard that my temper could not be controlled. Anyway, going upstairs is actually just a cover, I just don't want to go in the same direction as Xiaojue. After he enters the kitchen and gets busy, I will immediately go back to my house."
"So... I stayed in front of the second floor corridor and listened to the movement downstairs. I did not hear the conversation between Xiao Zi and the maid, but I heard Xiao Zi's footsteps entering the living room. He was indeed heading towards the kitchen, and I can guarantee this."
"I'll confirm again. Did you watch Mr. Fu walk into the living room or hear his footsteps? " Yun Yeyao asked seriously.
"I...I only hear footsteps."
"Before you go upstairs, are you sure you haven't seen the face of the maid in the kitchen clearly?"
"I didn't look towards the kitchen at all, but I just glanced at the maid squatting in the kitchen washing vegetables at the corner of my eyes." An Lingxiang replied. She was getting more and more confused about what the detective meant. She could only look at Yun Yeyao's pupils to seek answers. The doubts made the sad tears stay on her cheeks like stagnation and no longer slide downwards.
"I did stay on the second floor for a while, but I was standing at the entrance of the corridor. Xiaoruo's room was right next to me. I could hear the movement inside. Before Wu Xinghan opened the door, it was very quiet inside and there was no sound at all." An Lingxiang explained.
Yun Yeyao's analysis was not the point. He said to Xie Yunmeng: "Xiao Meng, do you think Fu Chi may return to the room and play Wu Xinghan immediately after the second quarrel?"
"If the maid has left the Lavender Villa..."
Xie Yunmeng was about to express his point of view, but unexpectedly An Lingxiang interrupted him again: "Impossible. When I went back downstairs, I saw a maid. At that time, he and Xiaozhi were together. She got off work after I left the west room."
"Miss An, don't be anxious. Can you listen to us first?" Yun Yeyao was helpless to An Lingxiang's anxious explanation. He comforted him and said to Xie Yunmeng: "Xiao Meng, you continue."
Xie Yunmeng cleared his throat and continued: "If the maid had been sent away before Miss An entered the west room, then the one in the kitchen should have been a resident of this villa. She pretended to be a maid and wanted to take the opportunity to help Mr. Fu. I think if a woman helped him in the kitchen, Mr. Fu might have entered the room before Miss An."
"In this house, in addition to the hostess, the women I saw were Ms. Wenyuan, Miss Bai Yun and Miss Cang Lulu. Among the three, I think the person who is most likely to pretend to be a maid is Bai Yun. According to the maid's appearance described by Ms. Wen, Miss Bai's age and height are the most suitable."
"Miss Canglulu's skin color is not suitable. Ms. Wen is still older. Moreover, the two of them stayed with me in the lavender field for a long time the afternoon before yesterday. They probably didn't have the chance to change into the maid's clothes and go to the kitchen to wait for the hostess."
"But what if Sister Wen is lying?" Xu Qing suddenly interrupted and asked, and he said with disdainful eyes: "If the maid is not what Sister Wen said, wouldn't the current inference be true?"
Regarding his question, before Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng spoke, Luo Yifan said first: "She did not leave the Lavender Villa because she wanted to protect you. She hoped that Officer Xie would not contact the outside world and stay. And you also stayed in the Lavender Villa because you wanted to protect them, right? I don't know what misunderstandings there are between you, but I can be sure that you love them!"
After saying that, Luo Yifan pointed at the two women lying beside Xu Qing with his hands and smiled at him.
Xu Qing stopped talking, Luo Yifan's meaning was clearer. The man guessed what he was thinking, just like the actor in front of him. In front of these two people, Xu Qing felt like a bird in a cage, with no corner to hide. For the first time, he had a feeling of everything about himself, and was about to be completely exposed to the sun. What brought was not tension and fear, but relaxation, as relaxed as relief.
With his shoulders collapsed, Xu Qing showed his first smile after coming to the Lavender Villa. Not only did he respond to Luo Yifan, but he was also telling them that he had left the will and that no matter what happened, he would not fight back again...
Yun Yeyao paused for a few seconds to ease the atmosphere and let everyone digest what they said just now. Then he continued to reason: "Suppose that the maid is indeed Miss Bai's pretending, then the problem we are going to solve is how she helped Mr. Fu enter the room in a very short time."
"Before Miss An went upstairs, the maid was in the kitchen and Mr. Fu was in the stairwell. Although Miss An waited for a while after going upstairs, time was still not enough for Mr. Fu. Moreover, because of the quarrel, Mr. Fu could not know in advance which room Miss An would enter to go upstairs? Who were you looking for? Will you stay in the stairs or corridors? So all this cannot be included in his calculation range."
"Behind Miss An, Mr. Fu did walk out of the stairwell, but his steps only reached the door of the stairwell. Then another person would take over him and continue to walk into the living room. After confirming that Miss An could not see him, Mr. Fu quickly turned out from the window of the stairwell and crawled towards the window of his room. In this way, no matter whether Miss An was staying on the way or not, he could return to his room in time."
"There is another point. At that time, the tenants were actually playing cards in the lavender villa. As for Miss An, she came from the east house and could not be sure where the tenants were? So no matter who she looked for, she could not knock on the door. But what Mr. Fu did not expect was that Miss An was just angry and walked upstairs and didn't want to find anyone at all. So the short time that Miss An stayed at the entrance of the corridor just allowed Mr. Fu to open the door when Miss An walked past his door, making the hostess feel as if Wu Xinghan had been waiting for her."
