Sleeping House

After Nan Tingpian came back, the two continued to check the blood on the second floor.The projection hall is very dark with the curtains drawn all the time, and if there is a blood reaction, it will be very conspicuous.However, Yu Tu sprayed it all over the place he saw, and there was no fluorescent light at all in the auditorium.

That's right, if there are bloodstains everywhere, you have to suspect that what happened here is not a murder case, but some kind of survival game.

Like last night, this time Yu Tujian still looked at each room clockwise, and the meeting room was next.This meeting room is not much different from ordinary meeting rooms. There is a long table in the middle and a projection screen hanging on one side.

Looking at the rigid equipment, Nan Tingpian complained, "How can there be such things as conference rooms where people live..."

Yu Tujian waved his hand: "Let's go without blood."

After a narrow corridor, there is a material room next.The material room is worthy of being a material room. The metal shelves are full of various materials.Gypsum powder, sludge, iron wire, resin...

Yu Tujian muttered to himself, "Is this a material for making sculptures..."

Turning around, I saw many papers in the bag again.Yu Tujian picked it up and took a look. There are sketch paper, gouache paper in all sizes, watercolor paper and oil canvas, and so on.Nan Tingpian pointed to a pile of frames of different sizes stacked on the shelf, and asked, "Detective, do you know what this is?"

Yu Tujian turned his head and took a look: "It's a canvas frame for painting oil paintings. Cut out the oilcloth and stretch it on it for painting. It's probably like this."

Nan Tingpian nodded, with a look of sudden realization: "So that's the case, you deserve it."

Yu Tujian rolled his eyes and continued to watch.Sure enough, as he expected, after the drawing paper was finished, he saw all kinds of paints, as well as boxes of engraving knives and brushes.Looking at it this way, Qianjin is very likely to be a sculptor and painter...

But when he turned to the other side of the room, he had doubts about the conclusion he had just drawn. Here is a pile of fabrics!

There are many kinds of fabrics, materials and colors, some are very hard to the touch, and some are very comfortable to the touch.There are also some skirts with handles printed on them, which are called Lolita skirts by Yu Tujian.In addition to cloth, there are all kinds of things like ribbon buttons.

This is not something that can be used for painting or art... This seems to be the material room of a tailor who makes clothes!

Yu Tujian raised his eyebrows. The materials used to make clothes here are much less than other materials. Maybe Qian Jin makes clothes in his spare time to enrich his life?

I sprayed luminol wherever I saw it, and I haven't seen any blood reaction until now. Maybe the scene of the crime was on the first floor.But what happened to the dripping blood from a high place?Yu Tujian had doubts in his heart.

"Tell me, let's check from the bottom to the top, and Jiang Youxiu from the top to the bottom. Could it be that he is heavier? After all, we have seen that there is no blood in these rooms. What if he checks again... ..."

When walking to the studio in the next room, Nan Tingpian suddenly asked Yu Tujian.Yu Tujian pushed open the door: "Don't worry, I've already agreed with Jiang Youxiu that on the second floor, he'll check the east half and I'll check the west half. It's nothing serious."

The studio is very spacious, with a large table on the north and south sides.The table is large but very light, with no extra cabinets or drawers.There is a wooden easel next to the table in the south, and drawing boards of different sizes and models are placed on the ground.Suddenly Nan Tingpian pointed to a black tripod beside him and said, "There is actually a camera stand here!"

Yu Tujian glanced at it, sighed a long time, and pulled the top of the tripod to lift it up. The upper horizontal axis was separated from the lower horizontal axis, and it seemed to be able to clamp something: "This is also a tripod. easel."

Nan Ting was stunned for a moment: "This is actually an easel?"

Yu Tujian picked up a quarto-sized drawing board on one side, put it on a metal shelf, tightened the screws and clamped it: "Yes, this is really an easel."

Nan Tingpian watched in astonishment as Yu Tujian went to the shelf in the corner, and the shelf was full of painting tools and some carving knives.

"Qianjin is probably really an art student..."

Yu Tujian muttered to himself.

The equipment on the south side convinced him that there was an artist living here, but turning his head to the north made him think that there was a tailor living here.

sewing machine.

That's right, it's a sewing machine, or an old-fashioned pedal sewing machine, and it's just short of writing "Forward" on the black body.

Nan Tingpian stared at the dusty sewing machine, wondering: "What the hell is this jack for..."

Yu Tujian walked over and lifted the expansion table next to it: "This old-fashioned sewing machine is retracted to prevent dust from falling when it is not in use... Now it is opened and set up, which means that the owner still used it often at that time..."

Nan Tingpian walked to one side of the shelf, reached out to touch it, and there was another layer of dust: "There are so many threads here...hey, there are elastics!"

Yu Tujian walked over, and there were many wound spools, several boxes of chalk and erasers.All kinds of large scissors are placed on it, and it feels very sharp just by looking at it, and it can cut the cloth cleanly.

There is also a mannequin next to the sewing machine. The line is pasted on the mannequin with thin red tape, and it seems to be draped according to this line... I don’t know the specific picture.

The northern half of the studio is really like a tailor's workshop.

Yu Tujian frowned and muttered, "Does Qianjin live here alone?"

Nan Tingpian answered: "The game introduction only said that Qianjin lived here before his death, but didn't say how many people there were."

Yu Tujian blinked his eyes: "If there are actually two people living here..."

Nan Tingpian answered: "Then it is possible that one killed the other, and the living fled here."

silence.

30 seconds of silence.

Nan Tingpian was a little embarrassed: "How about you react?"

Yu Tu glanced at him expressionlessly: "...you are right."

The duo, who speculated that there might be two people living here, left the studio, and there was no blood reaction here either.Now they have reached the southernmost central room—the study, and it happens that Lei Tetong is also here.

There was a large writing desk near the window in the study. Yu Tujian came to stand here and happened to see an oil painting hanging between the two doors on the opposite side.

Yu Tujian's first impression when he saw this painting was: "It's so yellow..."

It is indeed very yellow.Two-thirds of the entire painting area is yellow, the yellow ground is yellow houses, and only the sky above is dark blue.

Nan Tingpian glanced at the painting, frowned and thought: "This painting seems to be..."

"The yellow house."

Lei Tetong walked over, and he smiled at the two of them: "Van Gogh's home in Arles. Van Gogh rented a hotel in Arles to live in, because its outer wall was painted yellow, so it was called Yellow The house. Of course... this painting should be just a copy, it can't be the real thing."

Yu Tujian nodded: "I see..."

Famous paintings and ancient Greek statues belong to Yu Tujian's knowledge blind spot. Although he can still understand some technical aspects, he is really not good at art history.

Nan Tingpian asked him curiously: "What are you reading in the study?"

The expression on Lei Tetong's face seemed to froze for a moment, and then he smiled: "It's nothing, just looking at the books here."

"Do you collect books..." Yu Tujian glanced at the bookshelves here. There are quite a few famous books, but one shelf is full of Japanese light novels and online novels published in physical form, which makes this deep-looking study room somewhat A little brisk.Nan Tingpian had already walked over, and said happily: "Hey, there is a novel by You Shi Zuo Tu."

Yu Tujian watched Lei Tetong walk out of the study with both hands in his pockets, and turned his head to look at the shelf on the side—Leitetong was standing here just now.

There was a thick stack of newspapers on the shelf, and the top was still the original gray color of the newspaper, but it had turned yellow four times.

"This gray is really..."

Nan Tingpian took a book from the shelf in front of her, and got dust on her hands.He complained: "Did this one be built first? Why is the dust so thick?"

Yu Tujian reached out to touch the stack of newspapers, there was no dust on it, but his fingertips also felt rough.The time mark of the top issue of the newspaper was May last year. He raised his head and said to Nan Tingpian: "Turn through this stack of newspapers and see which issue is missing."

Nan Tingpian put down the book and started flipping through newspapers one by one.Yu Tujian suddenly felt a burst of relief, this kind of flamboyant guy is still quite useful, this kind of physical labor makes him do well.

While Yu Tujian was spraying reagents everywhere to check for fluorescence, the door of the study was pushed open, and it was Jiang Youxiu who came in this time.Yu Tujian turned around to face him, and said, "What a coincidence, you also found this place?"

Jiang Youxiu nodded: "I tested the third floor and the east rooms of the second floor, as well as the public toilets. There may be a little blood in the infirmary. But it's normal to have blood in the infirmary, and the amount is not large. Nothing to doubt."

After Yu Tujian talked about the testing situation on his side, Jiang Youxiu suddenly asked, "Did you meet Xiao Changqi too?"

Yu Tujian replied: "Well, he was also testing with a luminol reagent, and said that there was no blood reaction in the living room on the second floor, so I didn't go to see it."

Jiang Youxiu shook the watering can bottle: "Seeing that there are quite a lot of half bottles, they will be used up so soon."

Yu Tu smiled and said, "It's better to make the most of everything than to waste it. At least now we know that the living room on the first floor is a more important place."

With the sound of flipping the pages of the book, Nan Tingpian patted the ashes on his hands: "This newspaper was published from January of the previous year to May of last year, and there is no shortage of one issue."

"okay, I get it."

Yu Tujian touched his chin, didn't Lei Tetong read the newspaper just now?He looked at the other books on the shelf, and they were all books about catwalks and catwalks, which was Yu Tu's blind spot.At this time, Nan Tingpian glanced at the phone: "It's already eleven o'clock, is it almost time for dinner?"

Jiang Youxiu also took out her mobile phone to look at it: "It's really... I haven't seen Wan Xiaowan much today, let's go down and have a look together."
