The third deceased was Lu Yun, a 24-year-old Chinese woman who lived alone and was currently studying sports medicine at Lethmore University.

It was her half-brother Xu Changwei who called the police. He couldn't get in touch with his younger sister. He was worried, so he went to search for her sister's apartment building, but found the bad news.

Lu Yun was killed in his own home. The cause of death was the same as Reggie's, being hit in the back of the head by a heavy object.Since Lu Yun is still a postgraduate student, she rents an apartment near the school for the convenience of going to school. The apartment building she lives in is relatively old and has no surveillance system installed.

No suspicious person was found around.

Under the notice of Inspector Norton, Ying came to the place where Lu Yun lived.

Lu Yun fell face down very close to the door, as if he was attacked by the other party just as he turned around.Her home is very clean, spotless, looks like just an ordinary girl.

Ying went into her bedroom again and took a look. It was very beautifully decorated, with blue wallpaper and the shape of waves on the ceiling. There were photos of her and her family hanging on the wall of the room, especially a lot of photos of her and her brother. The two brothers and sisters run and swim together, their foreheads are wet with sweat but they are happily facing the camera. It can be seen that the relationship between them is very good.

There are a lot of books on the cabinet, and there are a few expensive-looking figurines. Next to it is a dressing table, which is filled with a variety of high-end cosmetics.There are a lot of sports equipment next to the dressing table, probably related to the medical profession she studied.

Ying went back to look at the photo of the siblings together, and sighed, a trace of melancholy appeared in her heart.

"Why did she open the door and let the murderer in?" Paimon asked a very important question.

"Very good, Paimon." Ying pulled herself out of her memories and praised, "You have grasped the key issues."

If the possibility that the murderer was someone known to the deceased was ruled out, then the person the deceased would open the door to might be... a person whose occupation is to come to the door but not be rejected.

"Ah, there was indeed a man who came here yesterday." Lu Yun's neighbor said, "He was wearing a mask, I don't know what he looks like, and he was quite silent. He came in, checked the water/meter and left. "

Very reasonable.Ying nodded.The direction in which Lu Yun fell to the ground seemed to be trying to lead the person who entered the door somewhere. If it was leading the person to the bathroom to check the water/meter, it seemed very reasonable.

Inspector Norton asked the property company, and there was no real business in this area yesterday.

From the recollections of those who had seen the murder, a vague outline of the murderer gradually emerged.

Male, taller, looks very powerful.

But because he was wearing a hat and a mask, it could be said that he was fully armed, so no one had an impression of his true appearance.

Ying didn't care too much about this profile of the murderer. The question she was thinking about was: Why Lu Yun?

The brother of the deceased, Xu Changwei, was cooperating with the investigation at the police station, so he asked him a few questions in person.

"How is your relationship with Lu Yun?"

Xu Changwei's voice was slightly choked: "We are four years apart, and she was about two years old. We immigrated to this country. There is a certain discrimination against Chinese people here, so I have been protecting her since I was a child. She lives very happily... ...but this time I failed to protect her...Yunyun is very obedient, a good girl, and has always trusted me...Why can't I save her! "

Ying couldn't bear it, but the case was more important, so she had to keep asking.

"I saw that Lu Yun's major is sports medicine. Does this mean that she is in good physical condition?"

"No," Xu Changwei shook his head, "On the contrary, because Yunyun was often sick when she was a child, I often took her to do exercises together. She likes to exercise with me and keep fit, so she chose this major."

Ying nodded, and it matched the photo wall in Lu Yun's house.

"Why did Lu Yun choose to dye his hair yellow?"

Speaking of this, Xu Changwei had a painful look on his face: "It's all my fault. I said before that golden hair suits her very well. Yunyun and I have a very good relationship, so they have always listened to me... A few days ago I read the report about the murder of hair color, and advised her to dye her hair back to black, but she said that yellow looks good, and murder is impossible for her..."

He closed his eyes, his cheeks twitched, and then raised his hands to cover his face.

Ying couldn't help but feel a slight pain in her heart.I don't know if my brother will be worried about her during the time I left Tivat...

"Why do you have a different last name from hers?"

The stragglers couldn't understand these redundant feelings, and directly ignored Xu Changwei's sadness, and asked directly.

"Because we are half-brothers and sisters," Xu Changwei put down his hands, and seemed to gradually calm down, "I have my mother's surname, and her mother is my stepmother, who married in after my mother died. My father's last name."

The straggler smacked his lips, as if he was quite disgusted with this complicated emotional relationship.

"We have notified Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu that they are rushing back from abroad." Inspector Norton said in a deep voice.

He whispered and explained to Ying: "Mr. Lu is a famous entrepreneur. After the death of his ex-wife, he inherited his wife's property and made the multinational company bigger and bigger."

In other words, the Mr. Xu in front of him...

"It's the heir of the Xu Group." The straggler said coldly, "Only the daughter of an upstart like you would be so ignorant."

Ying couldn't help looking at Xu Changwei, but just as he met his gaze, a gentle smile appeared on the other party's handsome face, and there was no trace of the son's proud nobility on his body.

Ying smiled back at him, glanced at the stragglers again, and curled her lips secretly.

"Don't give me flirtatious looks here, do you want to climb a high branch so much?" The straggler noticed her smile at Xu Changwei, and his tone was unexpectedly a little aggressive.

"Who I laugh at has nothing to do with you."

"I don't feel well, can't I?" The straggler looked at her with his neck straightened.

"Then why should I smile at you?"

Ying suddenly showed a bright smile.

The skirmisher opened his mouth.

Ying's smile disappeared instantly.

"I don't want to laugh at you when I laugh at anyone," she said heavily, "In my next life."

The skirmisher's brows were sullen: "Remember what you said."

"Those who break their promises shall be punished by eating rocks," Ying replied, "I never break my promises."

**

Ying laid out a blackboard in her mind.

Felicia Johnson, red-haired, suffocated to death in the dinner garden with a silk scarf she was wearing.Parents realtor Johnson couple, younger sister Margaret, boyfriend Hans.

Reggie Carter, orange-haired, once well-known cosplayer with a certain amount of traffic on social platforms, was hit to death by a heavy object on the back of the head on the way home from the comic show, and then was thrown into the sea of ​​corpses.The interpersonal relationship is simple, there is only one greedy editor-in-chief Moore who wants to rely on him to make a fortune.

Lu Yun, with yellow hair, was suspected to have been shot in the back of the head by a murderer pretending to be a property worker in his own home.

What do these three people have in common?And why did you choose these three people?

Fraser and Reggie...Ferryser and Noowan...Reggie and Noowan...

Ying felt that she seemed to have grasped something vaguely.

"Traveler, do you have an idea?" Paimon noticed her thoughts and asked cheerfully.

"Well," Ying nodded, and Fu was a little puzzled, "Why are you so happy?"

"Well," Paimon sighed, "I always feel that these people are very real. Paimon doesn't want to see people die anymore."

"Really?" Ying asked suspiciously.

"Yes, yes, the loss of a daughter in the Johnson family really made me sad. Hans is not a bad person, he just ate a little bit, and lost his lover as a result... Paimon thinks that being greedy is not a sin. That Moore is a bad guy who only wants money! That's why Reggie is even more pitiful, there is no one who cares about him...Xu Changwei is also a very good brother, Lu Yun had an accident and he looked really sad... ... Paimon doesn't want people to die again!"

Ying stopped and smiled.

Facing the same group of people, what Paimon and the stragglers saw was completely different.Paimon's nature is straightforward, and what he feels is some sincere emotions, while the stragglers...

He only sees the hypocrisy and ugliness of human nature.

What kind of role do skirmishers play in this dungeon?This is also a problem that bothers Ying.First of all, he's definitely an important character, and has something to do with the disappearance of the copy, but what does he have to do with these cases?After all, he did have a tangible alibi.

Without Mona's help, without Yae Kamiko's bargaining chip, and without the deal of God's Heart, this time, she must win by herself.

Ying decided to go find Lu Yun's classmate again.

The basic interpersonal relationship and image of Felicity and Reggie have already been revealed, but for Lu Yun, she only has a preliminary understanding from her brother Xu Changwei, and this brother seems to be a sister-in-law. There are only words of praise, which is a bit biased.

Only by figuring out what kind of person Lu Yun is, can we better find the common ground of the three people.

Regarding this issue, Lu Yun's former roommate had something to say.

Lu Yun only moved out of the dormitory this semester to live alone off-campus. In the previous school year, she lived with her roommates on-campus.

"She's usually quite silent and doesn't move around very much," the female schoolmaster with glasses recalled carefully, "but I remember that she has an older brother who has a good relationship with her and always calls at night."

"That's right, that's right," the playful girl with freckles echoed, "I saw her brother pick her up once, she was really handsome! I wanted her to introduce me, but she wasn't happy!"

"Hmm... There's something I don't know if I should say..." The wavy-haired beauty lowered her head and picked at the manicure on her hands, her face full of hesitation.

"You mean..." The little freckled girl seemed to be cruising too.

The female academic bully looked back and forth at the two of them: "But there is nothing to prove it, and it may not be right."

whats the matter?Ying's curiosity was aroused, and she begged them to tell her quickly.

"Oh, it's just..." The wavy beauty put her hands down, "It's because we suspect her of stealing!"

"Stealing things?" Ying thought she heard it wrong, "Is her family doing well?"

"It's just that we occasionally lost some small things last semester, but they were not very valuable, so we didn't care, thinking that we had forgotten where to put them." The freckled girl didn't sound very confident.

The female Xueba said: "But since she moved away, this kind of situation has basically never happened."

"There are also takeaways," the wavy beauty added. "There were always people throwing away takeaways last semester, but the situation is much better this semester. But we don't have any evidence, maybe it has nothing to do with her, it's just a coincidence..."

ah?This is an unexpected harvest.

She checked back and forth on the Internet and found a useful new word: kleptomaniac.

Does Lu Yun have kleptomania?Ying didn't dare to make a statement, but could only make a hypothesis.If she was kleptomaniac, what did that have to do with her murder?

Ying touched her chin, feeling that there seemed to be a cloud of fog in front of her that she hadn't figured out.

Taking advantage of this time, she had to talk to the family members of the previous victims to clarify a few issues.

If it goes well, maybe there will be a ray of dawn.

With the help of Inspector Norton, Ying met the Johnsons, Margaret, Hans, Moore and Xu Changwei again at the police station.

The straggler looked at her from the corner with his arms folded, his eyes seemed to say: What kind of monster do you want to be?

He didn't take the initiative to investigate, and he insisted on participating in this case... Ying seemed to have a certain position on the identity of the straggler.
