Super Time Detective

October 7, Sunday.

Today is the day when Ye Huairui moved to a new house.

He finally bought "that one" villa facing the sea.

At the beginning, the Jincheng police arrested Yin Jiaming in a fairly secretive manner, and the villa area where they were found was sparsely populated, so there were not even any witnesses at that time, and the police announcement only mentioned that Yin Jiaming was shot and fell into the sea Of course, the public has no way of knowing the exact location.

Even in the "Golden City Robbery", about Yin Jiaming being shot to death, director Zhao Cuihua, who seems to know the case very well, only blurred it out, and did not shoot the scene at the real location.

I didn't have such a strong feeling when I just read the files. When Ye Huairui came to see the house, I felt how remote it is.

Even in Jincheng, where there are many people and little land, and every inch of land is expensive, it is also in the middle of the mountainous area where buses do not even go. If you don’t have a private car, you can’t get up or down at all.

The developer at that time positioned this villa area as a high-end residence for the rich. It was built on a cliff and adopted a Portuguese-style European design, taking into account the dual considerations of beauty and privacy. One side faces the sea, and the other side is An independent garden with at least 50 meters between each building.

During the period when the big robbery happened, the villa area had just been built, and there were still several buildings that hadn’t even completed the basic decoration, and naturally they hadn’t officially started to sell to the public. At night, only the night watchman of the construction team was indeed a suitable hiding place.

After investigation by the police, the developer of this villa has business dealings with Yin Jiaming's father, Boss He, but this cannot be taken as evidence that they are Yin Jiaming's accomplices.

After the police searched the villa, they did not find the missing jewels, or the whereabouts of the other three accomplices.

39 years have passed since then.

I don’t know whether it’s a coincidence or fate, most of the properties in this villa area have been sold, but this house has been vacant until now. It has been nearly 40 years without any owner—until Boss Ye Bought it and gave it to my son.

There is a saying that goes well, "A house that is unoccupied is easy to break."

Even though it was considered a top mansion back then, it has been idle for so many years, both the exterior and the interior are already quite old.

However, the state of preservation of the house is still good, as long as the water and electricity are refitted, the walls are painted, and the floor is polished, you can move in.

Although Ye's father didn't know that this house was a "haunted house" in a certain sense, he was still quite surprised when he heard that his son had chosen such an old villa with a history of 40 to [-] years, and repeatedly asked his son Confirm that you are no longer considering other houses?

Of course Ye Huairui didn't consider it.

If it wasn't for the fact that this house was the last one Yin Jiaming had seen, he wouldn't even want to buy a house at all.

Since his son likes it, Father Ye naturally has nothing to say.

Under the full operation of the real estate agent, all transfer procedures were completed within half a month.

Papa Ye also hired a decoration company to repair the house, and also purchased the matching furniture. After a month, the villa has been taken care of properly and is waiting for the new owner to move in.

So on this day, Ye Huairui drove by himself, took two suitcases of luggage and seven or eight boxes of books, and moved into this seaside villa located in the mid-level area.

&&&&&&&&&

"Well, everything is fine here, no problem."

Ye Huairui said to Father Ye on the other end of the phone: "You don't need to come here, I have already packed the things."

After hanging up Father Ye's phone call, Ye Huairui went to the bathroom on the second floor to take a nice bath, changed into clean pajamas, went back to the first floor, and went into the kitchen to iron a bowl of noodles for himself.

It was already eleven o'clock at night.

Ye Huairui came out with the noodle bowl in his arms, and sat at the dining table to eat.

Next to the dining table is an arched window, facing the cliff facing the sea. According to the files left by the Jincheng police, Yin Jiaming fled into the villa after being shot, it was this window that broke the glass and fell into the cliff. into the sea.

At this moment, after 39 years, Ye Huairui is sitting in front of the same window, carefully observing the exquisite European-style carvings on the window edge under the light of the wall lamp, and can't help but start to imagine the scene that Yin Jiaming saw temporarily...

"Ugh!"

Ye Huairui sighed softly and murmured:

"If only I could see it with my own eyes..."

Of course, Forensic Ye was just talking.

It's not science fiction, and there's no time travel.

Even if there is, he is just curious about this case, and he is not so persistent that he has to travel back to 39 years ago to fight in person.

Moreover, Ye Huairui also admitted that even he, in an era when he had to wait two years for DNA testing, would not have done better than the Jincheng police back then.

"……looks like it's going to rain."

Feeling the dull air pressure outside the window, Ye Huairui picked up a piece of chopsticks and put them in his mouth.

There are thunderstorms almost every day in Jincheng in midsummer.

The daytime today is surprisingly hot. Ye Fayi was afraid that the heavy rain would come suddenly when he moved, but he has been holding back until now, and it really looks like it is going to rain.

"Boom!"

There was a muffled thunderclap in the distance.

At the same time, Ye Huairui suddenly heard a loud "bang".

Startled, he dropped his chopsticks and jumped up.

That voice, Ye Huairui heard it clearly, came from the direction of the wall facing the window.

He followed the prestige and saw only an antique antique cabinet.

Ye Huairui frowned.

This cabinet is an old thing that comes with the villa, and the wood is embedded in the wall.

Previously, the decoration team felt that the cabinet was quite old, and the style was quite old-fashioned. It really didn't meet the aesthetics of young people, so they asked Ye Huairui if he wanted to knock it down.

Forensic Ye felt that the cabinet was an antique no matter what, and he was too lazy to bother, so he asked the decoration team to keep it intact.

In fact, not only this cabinet, but other decorations in the villa, unless they were decayed, Ye Huairui didn't ask the decoration team to change them.

Ye Huairui didn't have much luggage, and he didn't have time to add things. Naturally, he didn't have any decorations to fill the antique cabinet.

But how could there be the sound of heavy objects falling in the empty cabinet?

Ye Huairui walked cautiously to the cabinet, raised his hand and knocked on the cabinet wall.

"Knock knock knock."

The cabinet was very muffled, apparently of good wood.

"...Could it be thermal expansion and cold contraction?"

Ye Huairui thought suspiciously.

Then the next second, a louder "bang" sounded, breaking his guess.

This time, Forensic Doctor Ye heard clearly that the sound was indeed coming from the depths of the cabinet—or more precisely, the wall behind the cabinet.

Ye Huairui suddenly felt his scalp go numb.

He has seen the floor plan of this house, and he has been in and out of the villa countless times during house purchase, renovation and moving, but he never remembers the space behind this wall!

Even though Ye Huairui was a young man with a height of 1.8 meters, he was a little scared at this time.

He struggled for 30 seconds on whether to call the police because of two loud noises from unknown sources, but decided to investigate first by himself.

So Ye Huairui took a deep breath, reached out and groped on the Bogu cabinet.

The cabinet is very deep, but there are no drawers or doors, except for the shelves, there are only beautifully shaped cabinet walls and an empty bottom plate.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Ye Huairui tapped lightly on different positions of the floor a few times, and all he heard was a solid echo like tapping his forehead.

It wasn't until he hit the lower left corner that he heard two distinct "duk tuk" echoes, as if knocking his belly.

Ye Huairui: "..."

--No way! ?

At this moment, only the word "shock" remained in Ye Huairui's mind.

He began to focus on the area where the sound was abnormal, and carefully groped along the outline of the Bogu cabinet, not letting go of any corners.

After tossing for 2 minutes, he finally found an unusual thing inside the two "V" shaped laminates.

Ye Huairui turned on the backlight of the phone, leaned down, and carefully examined the objects he found.

It seemed to be a protruding wooden strip, about one centimeter in length, width and height. It was a small square piece, stuck so abruptly in the center of the V, that it couldn't be pulled out even if you couldn't push it.

For some reason, the word "organ" immediately appeared in Ye Fayi's mind.

He tried moving the little square in every direction.

At first, it seemed to be a pattern embedded in the cabinet, motionless.

It wasn't until Ye Huairui turned it to the right that he suddenly heard a "click", and the whole small cube slid down along the edge of the V-shaped decoration, and then just stuck into a concave hole of the same size on the edge. slot.

——It turned out to be a mechanism! ?

Forensic Ye was so shocked that he didn't know how to react.

At this time, the thunder outside the window was getting closer, crackling raindrops fell, hit the window glass, and floated into the living room through the open window.

But Ye Huairui can't control those anymore.

All his thoughts were on the mechanism of this cabinet.

Ye Huairui carefully observed the structure of the machine with a cat waist, and suddenly had an idea.

The small cube was on top of the "V" just now, like a peg, or in other words, like a bolt of a door lock.

And now that it has slid open, does that mean...

Thinking of this, Ye Huairui held the "V"-shaped laminate with both hands, one left and one right, and tried to turn it to the right.

Although it feels heavy, it can actually turn.

Ye Huairui: "!!"

Like a player who is about to clear the level in an escape room game, he continues to move the mechanism nervously, apprehensively and excitedly.

When the "V" was turned to the right by exactly [-] degrees and turned into a "<" state, he finally heard a series of dull and dry sounds of metal rubbing against wood.

Then, an area in the lower left corner of the cabinet slid open to the left, revealing a secret door on the wall behind that could barely allow one person to pass through!
