Villa basement vault.
Gao Cheng lets the hostess and the garden wait outside, and walks into the dark room by himself.
There was a strange man lying on the disordered floor. He had been dead for a long time. There was a bad smell in the air.
The scene looked like a homicide. There were bruises on the forehead of the corpse. The corresponding bloodstain was at the sharp corner of a small box, which seemed to be knocked unconscious. As for the real cause of death, it was preliminarily determined that it was suffocation.
According to the hostess, she went to the villa one month later and found the dead man after opening the iron gate.
In this way, it is likely that he was attacked and knocked unconscious and then locked up in the vault.
"I have been dead for 3 days. The cause of death is suffocation..."
Gao Cheng checked the body with a flashlight and continued to observe the scene. There were no valuables in the vault. There were documents and other sundries on the two rows of shelves. There were pieces of manuscripts scattered on the ground, and a piece of paper was tightly held by the dead, which seemed to be a death message.
In addition, the scene is very strange only one slipper, the other originally belongs to the dead, but now disappeared.
"Chenghu..." Yuanzi grabs the palm of his hand at the door and nervously looks at Gao Cheng in the investigation.
This case has nothing to do with them. It''s just a case of
"Do you have a camera, please?" Gao Cheng turned back and asked the hostess, "before the investigation, we need to verify the scene."
"Well," the hostess thought, not sure, "there''s a special room for Mr. dianye. Maybe he has a camera."
"What''s your relationship with Mr. dianye?" Gao Cheng asked strangely.
"He''s a magazine editor. I''m a writer. Because of my work, we use this house together," the hostess explained. "I come here at the end of the month to work. When I''m away, Mr. dianye uses it as a villa."
"Not lovers?"
"No, we''ve known each other for a long time, but it''s only about work."
After a pause, the hostess asked, "do you want to go to Mr. dianye''s room to have a look?"
"Good."
Gao Cheng followed the hostess upstairs with a slightly strange look.
Although it''s not interesting enough, he still feels that there is something wrong with the hostess, which is probably the murderer of Mr. dianye.
Of course, it''s just a guess. What''s going on still needs to be investigated.
It''s not a complicated case. If you look for more details, the truth will come out
"Excuse me," the hostess asked with concern, "is Mr. dianye an accident?"
Gao Cheng shook his head: "it''s not sure. It seems that the scene is likely to be a homicide."
"Eh?" The hostess said with a dry smile, "but you just said it was suffocation..."
"It''s a homicide to be locked in."
"No? In fact, once before, when Mr. dianye was looking for something in the vault, the door somehow closed. At that time, because I was there, he immediately opened the door for him. "
"Is it?"
Gao Cheng didn''t say much. Compared with the prisoners he met in the past, the young woman in front of him was really not suitable for committing a crime. Before he found any evidence, there were few clues that were so obvious.
"But this time, Mr. dianye''s forehead was badly hit. Someone should have hit him with the small box on the floor, and there was blood on it..."
"But," said the woman, shaking her head and laughing, "there can be no such thing..."
"Why not?"
"When I came, the door of the vault was locked. Only dianye and I could open that door. No one else could." The woman tried to explain.
Gao Cheng looks at the woman again.
It sounds like a woman put dianye in the vault, but she didn''t know why she was badly injured.
The idea of normal people is that the prisoner should attack dianye and then close the vault door, instead of closing the vault door first and then considering how to attack dianye
Those who have the idea of the latter are only exotic flowers or killers.
"This is it." The woman didn''t find Gao Cheng''s suspicion, so she took Gao Cheng to dianye room on the second floor.
Inside, there is a suitcase on the desk. Gao Cheng opens it and takes a rough look. After he finds out the camera, he carries the suitcase downstairs and returns to the basement vault.
The detective''s identity is special, but what he should do should not be careless. Now the police can''t come for the time being, so he can only act as an identification officer.
After taking a lot of photos and making sure all the corners were taken, Gao Cheng picked up a piece of manuscript in the dead man''s hand.
There are some pictures on the front and blank on the back of the folded manuscript. I don''t know what dianye wants to express. There are so many manuscript papers on the ground, why do you choose this one
In the living room of the villa, Gao Cheng and the hostess sit face to face on the sofa. The garden next to them looks at the big dog curiously and even shakes hands with the big dog on a whim.
"That..." Gao Cheng looks at the hostess and opens his mouth, and suddenly finds that he doesn''t know the other person''s name“ Ah, my name is little Ishikawa Chihiro, "the woman responded and quickly handed Gao Cheng a book on the side." this is my novel. It''s a girl''s comedy novel. "“ Little Ishikawa? Eh? Are you little Ishikawa Chihiro Yuan Zi could not take care of shaking hands with the big dog. He took the novel in surprise and said, "I especially like your novel! Almost every book has been read The woman was shy and chuckled: "thank you. In fact, my writing is very general." Gao Cheng had no idea at all. He flipped through the novel and asked Yuanzi in a low voice, "is xiaoishikawa Qianbo very famous?"“ Of course, "Yuanzi said," don''t you usually care about anything? Little Ishikawa is a very famous girl novelist“ I don''t read girls'' novels again... "Gao Cheng puts down his novels and smiles apologetically at the woman. It''s not easy for anyone who can write a novel, unlike him who writes hundreds of words“ Miss Qianbo, do you think Mr. dianye might have come to the villa with someone three days ago? "“ I don''t know, "little Ishikawa asked." why do you say someone is with Mr. dianye“ I just looked at his luggage Gao Cheng put the items in the suitcase on the coffee table one by one. A stack of receipts, a condom, and a notebook with a list of appointments that you can see three days ago... Gao Cheng''s temples are jumping. It''s amazing that there are so many women. A close look at the notebook shows that there is an arrangement on it, that is, three days ago, I dated a woman named "C". The murderer is so careless that even if he is a detective, he can''t see the clues left behind“ Who do you think this C woman might be? " Gao Cheng continued“ Is it a girl? " Qianbo nervously pinched his fingers and asked carefully“ There''s a condom here. There''s no accident. It should be a woman, "Gao Cheng said, looking at the woman." if C stands for a name, Chihiro, Chiba... Your name is Chihiro. " Small Ishikawa thousand wave line of sight is flighty, blunt ground nods: "be like this." Gao Cheng has basically confirmed that a woman is the murderer, but he doesn''t say it directly. There is still a lack of key evidence. Moreover, even if a woman is a murderer, she can''t ignore her mood... She looks away from the woman''s face and studies the manuscript that seems to contain the death message.
