"Okay, I'll leave first, remember to keep in touch."

"no problem."

The two soon parted ways, and Yan Muheng did not express his suspicion of the supermarket rooftop because it was just an idea and was not worth affecting the plan arranged by Xie Yunmeng and Yun Yeyao. If there was really something, you could tell Xiaozuo directly and let Xiaozuo convey it to them.

Xiaobing did not walk far away. Yan Muheng found her in a few minutes. The two of them left the community noisy all the way and found an inconspicuous hotel on the side of the road. The storefront was a bit like a cafe and the price was not expensive.

After settled Xiaobing, Yan Muheng paid the bill and warned her not to run around. When she came back, she hurriedly left the hotel. Xiaobing was also content with the status quo and did not mention her phone any more. She moved into the room and fell asleep on the bed.

Next, Yan Muheng trotted into the supermarket, came to the top parking lot, observed the surroundings for a little while, found the edge of the platform opposite Yuanjingyuan, and began to check carefully.

Sure enough, there were faint friction marks on it, like the traces left by the glasses bracket, and a cigarette butt. There was also half a footprint on the dust on the ground. It should have been left by men's leather shoes.

Yan Muheng gestured with his soles, his footprints were a little smaller than his, but he was definitely sure that it was left by a man.

"It seems that he has been standing here for quite a long time."

While talking to himself, Yan Muheng asked Mo Haiyou in a text message: "Xiao Zuo, are you free? I discovered something strange."

A few minutes later, Mo Haiyou replied: ‘What’s the matter?’

‘I found a person standing on the roof of the supermarket opposite Yuanjingyuan, opposite the scene, with a pair of footprints left on the dust and cigarette butts on the side. This person should have been standing for a long time. I suspect he has been observing the scene with a telescope.’

‘We assume that there is really a corpse at the scene and the person who is observing is the murderer, so what is the need for him to do this? Is it necessary to kill someone and wait for the body to be found?’

‘Tell me, is there anything strange about you at the scene?’ Mo Haiyou asked.

‘It’s a refrigerator. The refrigerator is actually placed in the room. The ice layer inside is thick, but it’s very clean. There is a lot of rotten meat piled up at the door of the refrigerator, all of which are frozen meat bought in the supermarket. It rots after it melts, and there are blood on the ground, and there are traces of people lying by. Officer Xie judged that the deceased climbed from the desk to the refrigerator, and then took out the frozen meat in the refrigerator and let it rot to attract the attention of the neighbors.’

‘But from my current location, I am now on the top of the supermarket. Although I can’t see clearly what’s in the room, I feel that I can only see the inside of the window, and the part blocked by the wall should not be visible.’

‘I remember the desk was facing the window. According to my inference, the people standing here could only see around the desk, not see the refrigerator, and there was also a kitten cup thrown on the ground. The inside was black and poison had been put on the inside. There was a trace of the bottom of the cup on the refrigerator, which just matched the bottom of the kitten cup.’

‘Are there footprints on the floor in the room?’

‘There are many, but they are all left by the same person when he crawled on the ground, concentrated near the bloodstains, but the footprints I have found now are different.’

‘…’

Mo Haiyou on the other end of the phone fell into deep thought. Yan Muheng waited patiently. After a while, Mo Haiyou said: "Now I can only make a preliminary inference. It is not correct, and it depends on the detailed report brought back by the police afterwards. The body may have been taken away by the murderer, and the rotten meat in front of the refrigerator was not taken out by the victim. Maybe it was bought by the murderer in the supermarket temporarily and threw it there when he went back to deal with the body."

"So I think it's not the victim who wants to attract the attention of the neighbors, but the murderer. His purpose of transferring the body is not just to cover up the crime. This is very dangerous. There should be a second scene. There must be some characteristics here, and it must be somewhere where you investigate the faceless person passing by."

"It's not a strange place, so tell Officer Xiaoyao and Officer Xie, pay attention when you investigate. I guess the second scene will be exposed soon. You must not make arbitrary conclusions. I will contact Xiao Xie and ask him to raise it when the police report. However, I hope it's best for us to find it first, so this will also be beneficial for the police officer's judgment."

"I understand," Yan Muheng replied: "I will set out to meet with Officer Xie immediately. Xiao Zuo, please wait for our news."

"Okay, I'm hanging up."

This time, Yan Muheng was asked to leave the supermarket. There happened to be a bus stop on the side of the road. He jumped onto the bus without thinking. He was very familiar with the direction of the bus in this city, which saved more time than waiting for a taxi.

In the hospital

Lu Jinyan was lying on the bed alone, and she couldn't sleep. She bit her lip and saw scenes in her mind, meetings in the stray dog ​​shelter, paintings she hid under the bed, things that the person who wanted to strangle him to death, and even the months of salary that Gu Wu owed him.

Should he give that person? Logically speaking, he wanted his life and should have given it a long time ago, but what after it was given out? Lu Jinyan tightened his teeth hard, and a red mark appeared under his lips.

After offering it, it means that my hope was shattered. What should I do with my dreams over the years? Is it really let the police search out all the things she hid at home and tell them the meaning of those things? No, Lu Jinyan remembered that she had been angry at Gu Wu's house for so many years and had done rough work for so many years, so she was unwilling to accept it.

She also wanted to have a last try, anyway, she didn't kill anyone, as long as the police didn't know her purpose. If she was lucky, it would be best if he suddenly died when he arrested that guy, and she could enjoy the future.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged woman closed her eyes, relaxed her teeth, and muttered in her mouth, as if she was really praying for good luck to God.

Just as she was half asleep, the ward door was pushed open, and a policeman walked in with some things, all of which were taken from her home, including daily necessities, changing clothes, some open sealed bags, and several paintings wrapped in kraft paper.

Seeing the paintings, Lu Jinyan's body trembled suddenly, but she controlled her expression and just watched the police officer bring the things in.

The police officer asked her: "Are these paintings yours?"

"Yes."

"We looked at it and there was nothing special, so we left it for you. We took all other things to the police station except daily necessities. After investigation, it had nothing to do with the case. We would send them home as it was. Is it okay?"

"It's okay, you can check it out. The painting was left by my father. Thank you for bringing it to me."

"Is the painting a signature? Is it your father's pseudonym?"

"Yes."

"Then nothing is going to happen, you can have a good rest."

"Thank you." Lu Jinyan closed her eyes and covered her head with a quilt.

After the police officer left, she secretly crawled out and stared at the painting wrapped in kraft paper. She wanted to go and take a look at the kraft paper, but she didn't have the courage and could only worry in her heart.

Those words were brought out from Gu Wu's house. Her appreciation level was actually much higher than Gu Wu, but this does not mean that paintings were valuable, and the police were not fools. They could tell whether paintings were valuable or not.

‘It’s been sent here, it probably means it’s okay!’ Lu Jinyan sighed in her heart. It doesn’t matter whether she returns home or not, and it doesn’t matter if the things at home are not sent back, but as long as these paintings are by her side, she can feel at ease.

But the premise is that the kraft paper must be the ones she imagined.

Think carefully about whether there are any other paintings left by my father at home, such as the same size or the ones that can be removed from the picture frame, which should be gone, Lu Jinyan is sure.

‘That’s all the ones I hide under the bed. Don’t think about it anymore, let it go to fate.’

Chapter 738: Reasoning the Incident of a Pickup Truck at the Seaside Wine Barrel Murder

Judging from Lu Jinyan's reaction, the painting sent by the police is the key to her helping the prisoner, but we need to further explore how to analyze it. If we cannot get the secret hidden behind the painting, Lu Jinyan should not tell the truth.

The hospital began to quiet at night. The nurses and doctors walked outside the ward and were cautious, afraid of waking up the patient. Lu Jinyan hid alone in the quilt and kept secretly looking at the paintings.

She wanted to make herself feel at ease, but there was no way. She didn't untie the kraft paper bag and took a look. No matter how she comforted herself, she couldn't feel at ease.

The police officer was outside the door. Lu Jinyan was afraid that they would find something, so she brought the painting over to monitor his behavior. She unconsciously moved her eyes from the painting to the crack of the door, and the light outside could be vaguely seen in the gap.

Under the light, the black shadow kept shaking. Lu Jinyan became more and more afraid, and her lips were about to crack when they were dry. She swallowed violently, and she hid her head in the quilt, trying to control her emotions.

Recalling the meeting with someone the night before, something suddenly appeared in Lu Jinyan's mind. It was a sense of familiarity, not aimed at the person who met him, but another one.

The dark quilt wrapped around her head, as if she was separated from a dangerous barrier. Lu Jinyan heard her heavy breathing and the sound of her heart pounding. The heat condensed inside her body, and her irritability made her ears buzz.

All of this made her unable to think carefully. To be more correct, she recalled carefully. The person in her mind had only a vague outline, and no other details could be compared. Lu Jinyan not only cursed secretly to vent her emotions.

After a long time, her sleepiness gradually enveloped her brain. She finally gave up thinking and prepared to take a nap and find a way to solve the problem the next morning.

"Forget it, it's useless to force yourself. I hope he can come tomorrow."
