Delusional world [criminal investigation]

The room that Jing Jue was assigned to was exactly the attic that Roy mentioned. The attic was usually used as a storage room, so the folding bed and bedding were temporarily prepared by the servants.

Jing Jue didn't intend to stay overnight in the room, he went upstairs just to get the charger that Qin Mian put in in advance, but when he pushed the door, he felt a resistance. Jing Jue looked and found that someone had pushed a suitcase behind the door.

The box belonged to Qin Mian, but he definitely wasn't the one who put it in.Jing Jue moved the suitcase sideways, then walked into the room, his eyes fell on a folding bed that had already been covered with bedding.

The folding bed was covered with a set of light-colored quilts, and a pillow in the middle was particularly conspicuous, but it was not it that made Jing Jue stop his eyes, but the black down jacket that was placed in a human shape and stood on one side.

Jing Jue stood where he was, looking in the direction where the cuffs of the down jacket extended.

Standing by the bed, Pei Yin didn't feel guilty at all when he saw Jing Jue. He first said, "Officer, you're back." Then he pointed to the suitcase that Jing Jue had removed and asked, "Is there any bedding in there?"

Just after Jing Jue was silent for a moment, Pei Yin couldn't wait to say: "It would be a pity if there is no one. There is only one quilt in this room."

"Or police officer Qin asked someone to bring over an extra set of bedding?" Pei Yin sat down beside the bed while speaking, "If you don't have any, you can only use your coat to make the floor."

Jing Jue didn't show any reaction from Pei Yin's anger, he closed the door without saying a word, and then skillfully checked the lock twice.

Seeing this very threatening action, Pei Yin subconsciously pursed his lower lip. He was thinking about starting another topic when Jing Jue glanced at the bed and asked, "Is there another pillow?"

"Here." Pei Yin replied happily, and then pulled down the zipper of the "human figure down jacket", revealing another pillow used to help the down jacket fix its position.

"Officer, you are so careful, you can tell if there is a missing pillow." Pei Yin zipped the down jacket again while speaking, and then pulled a cuff like a baby, and said, "But when I sleep, I don't hold something. Sleepwalking, officer, you don't mind if I use two pillows?"

Jing Jue stood about two meters in front of Pei Yin and looked at him quietly. He listened to Pei Yin's whole passage without saying a word, and he felt like he had strayed into the theater and watched a free and clumsy performance.

Jing Jue closed his eyes and asked calmly, "Are you sleepwalking?"

"That's right." Pei Yin nodded, "If I wasn't afraid of sleepwalking and destroying the scene of the crime, I could definitely live in the room you just mentioned."

"Do you know what you did while sleepwalking?"

"I don't know." Pei Yin quickly denied, "I have no impression at all."

Pei Yin didn't know why his words were so interesting, Jing Jue actually lifted the corner of his mouth when he heard the words, Pei Yin saw his intriguing smile, smiled along with him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I don't remember anything—" Jing Jue took a step closer to Pei Yin, and said in a low voice, "So it's possible to kill someone while sleepwalking?"

"It is indeed possible, but the police officer—" Pei Yin chuckled, and said, "Can you let me see your police certificate before interrogating me? I don't know your name... eh? What are you doing? "

Pei Yin watched Jing Jue take out a bunch of keys from his pocket, his expression froze immediately, and then a bad feeling came over him.

"Lock the door." Jing Jue walked to the door and opened the door again, "In case you do something you can't remember while sleepwalking, don't leave the house tonight."

Pei Yin: "..."

"Someone will open the door for you tomorrow morning." After Jing Jue said the last sentence, he exited the door and locked the door of the attic from the outside.

During the process of Jing Jue locking the door, Pei Yin neither spoke nor took any action to stop Jing Jue. He stood in place without saying a word, and turned to the only window in the attic after Jing Jue left.

Pei Yin snorted disdainfully, thinking: "Can I be locked up?"

He tried to turn the window handle, intending to take a breath, but the wind and snow hit his face, and Pei Yin hurriedly turned around and took off the down jacket that was covered over the pillow.

The windows of the attic face the same direction as the main entrance of Roland Villa, which is said to be an excellent place to enjoy the scenery, but Pei Yin is not very artistic, he stood in front of the window for a while, and soon lost interest.

Pei Yin leaned out half of his body, and was about to pull the window back, when suddenly there was a sound directly below.

"what--!"

It was a rough male voice.

Pei Yin's pupils trembled, and he immediately held the window frame with one hand, stepped on the window sill with one foot, and leaned further to observe the situation downstairs.

The arm suddenly withdrawn from the downstairs window was particularly conspicuous, Pei Yin had no time to think about it, and immediately flipped out of the window.

"team leader!"

When Pei Yin's body fell by the water pipe outside on the third floor, he just heard such a sentence from downstairs.

He looked down with his numb scalp, and he saw Jing Jue standing in the snow staring at him.

"Hold."

Pei Yin closed her eyes fiercely, hating herself for not looking at the almanac when she went out today.

Although Jing Jue and him were separated by wind and snow, Pei Yin could almost imagine Jing Jue's eyes, so he had no choice but to maintain the posture of hanging on the water pipe, took out his mobile phone and called someone.

Fortunately, the signal was good at the moment, Qin Mian's cell phone lit up quickly, he picked it up, and asked, "Hello?"

"Good evening, Police Officer Qin, it's me, Pei Yin, sorry, can you let your captain answer the phone?"

From Pei Yin's perspective, the phone was taken by Jing Jue on his own initiative, Pei Yin saw Jing Jue put the phone to his ear, and immediately said: "Officer, I know you must have misunderstood now, but I was really wronged , The guy who fell has nothing to do with me, if you don’t believe me, make a video call and I’ll show you the scene of the first crime.”

Jing Jue raised his head, his eyes seemed to have shifted a little from Pei Yin's body, but Pei Yin couldn't see this small change, his attention was only on ensuring his own safety.

"Behind you." Jing Jue said suddenly.

Pei Yin asked, "Huh?" in confusion, and asked, "What's going on behind me?"

"Someone."

Pei Yin: "..."

Pei Yin only had time to feel a numbness in his back, and then he was wrapped around his neck by two arms that suddenly protruded from the window.

He immediately wanted to fight back, but he was holding the water pipe in one hand and the mobile phone in the other, so he could only attack the opponent with his elbow at the first time.

"Pei Yin!" The person in the window shouted in panic after he started to struggle, "Hurry up!"

Pei Yin was taken aback for a moment, and immediately stopped and turned around.

Sure enough, the owner of the familiar female voice was Roy.

"Grab me!" Roy grabbed the clothes on both sides of his shoulders, and his fingertips began to turn white due to too much force.

Pei Yin was startled, and immediately looked down again.

But in the snow-covered world, apart from the man who had just fallen from the building, there was only Qin Mian who was doing emergency rescue for him.

Jing Jue has disappeared.

Pei Yin put the phone back in his pocket, turned to Roy and said, "I'm fine, just let go."

"Pei Yin, I know it's difficult for you to accept it for a while, I can understand." Roy held on to him tightly, she had already changed her dress in the room, and she only had a light shirt on her body at the moment, she said, "You Come up first, come up and let's talk."

Seeing that Roy's slender arm started to turn red within two seconds, Pei Yin could only sigh heavily, turned over and entered Roy's room.

He knew that Jing Jue must have come up, but he didn't know that he forgot to hang up the phone when he put it away.

Through the window, Pei Yin saw two security guards running out of the gate. They should have been called by Jing Jue. One of the two security guards raised their heads and the other lifted their feet, and carried the fallen person into the house with a non-standard posture.

A better way is to let the medical staff use the standard posture to carry the fallen person onto a stretcher, but this place does not have that condition now, and it is worth breaking two more ribs than freezing to death in a heavy snow day.

Pei Yin stood by the window until the wounded was carried into the house, and Qin Mian stood outside the gate and looked up at him.

Pei Yin didn't intend to explain anything to Qin Mian. He closed the window and was thinking about the withdrawn arm, but when he turned around, he met Roy's questioning eyes.

"...No." Pei Yin quickly explained, "I don't."

Pei Yin felt that this situation was very unfavorable to him, so he immediately changed the subject: "You are the only one in this room?"

There was still worry about Pei Yin in Roy's eyes, she nodded and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The policeman said there should be at least two rooms." Pei Yin found a place to sit down by himself, and said, "I thought I was assigned to the attic because the other rooms were full."

"It should be full." Roy said, "When I was assigned, there was just one vacant room left. If you were a girl, he would have let you come over."

"Really." Pei Yin frowned thoughtfully, and asked, "Do you know who lives in the room next door?"

What Pei Yin asked was the "crime scene" that he was going to check. Roy glanced over there and said, "I only know one, and it's Luo Yu's friend. It's called...Chu He."

Judging from Roy's tone, she didn't seem to know that someone fell from the window.

Roy thought that Pei Yin asked this because he wanted to change the room. She looked at Pei Yin and said in a low voice, "Just bear with it for a day. After all, Officer Qin doesn't know about our relationship."

Jing Jue's knock on the door came five minutes after they finished their conversation. Pei Yin leaned against the door frame, looked at the cold man, and called obediently, "Officer."

It took less than 8 minutes for Jing Jue to come up than Pei Yin expected. It should be that he only confirmed the condition of the room of the person who fell from the building, and did not have time to do other inspections.

Pei Yin didn't let Jing Jue spend too much effort on "telling himself to go back to the house", he obediently followed Jing Jue up the stairs, and wanted to say something several times on the way, but he saw that Jing Jue didn't want to. He took care of what he meant, but he could only swallow the question back to his stomach.

Pei Yin felt that there were too many mistakes in what he said at the moment, so it was better to wait for Jing Jue to take the initiative to ask questions.

Who would have thought that Jing Jue, who seemed to have recovered from drug addiction, could hold back his curiosity. Seeing that he would reach the attic in two steps, Pei Yin finally couldn't help but ask, "Officer, what do you want me for?" , won’t you be tortured again?”

Pei Yin used the word "you" very cleverly, making it clear that he was roughing him in the woods before the Jing Jue was executed, but Jing Jue was still unmoved, seeing this, Pei Yin could only put both hands in In his pocket, he explained to himself: "I know, you saw me... um... then hanging outside the wall, you will inevitably have doubts, police officer, don't worry, I can explain clearly."

"You don't need to explain to me." After listening to Pei Yin's words, Jing Jue only said, "I'm not in charge of the transcript."

While Jing Jue was talking, he opened the door of the attic, but Pei Yin didn't move, hesitantly said: "Don't listen to my explanation? Then why do you want me to pick me up the stairs yourself?"

Pei Yin's last word "lou" has a weird tone, as if he was eager to tighten his voice, but accidentally revealed half a syllable.

"Hey—" Pei Yin's complexion changed, and his voice suddenly lowered, "Is there no one in this room except you?"

Jing Jue pushed Qin Mian's suitcase out, Pei Yin knew that he thought he was messing around again, but the situation was urgent, so he could only stop Jing Jue with his hand and said, "The window."

Jing Jue glanced back at the closed windows, Pei Yin was afraid that he might not understand what he meant, and hinted again: "I don't have the habit of closing windows casually."

When he was talking, his eyes were fixed on the lock by the window. It was a window lock that could only fall from the inside of the window. No matter how heavy the wind and snow was, it was absolutely impossible for it to be tightly locked together from the inside.

Unless there are other people in the room.
