did not meet tonight

After finishing the work at the police station, it was already afternoon. Xiao Yu and Chen Zhe drove back to the manor. The weather was gloomy, and it seemed that there was going to be a heavy rain soon.Chen Zhe couldn't help sighing when he remembered what happened last night. Lu Baoqian's family was rushing over, and he would have to come forward to deal with it. If he didn't handle it well, the relationship between Chen and Lu's family might be broken.

The police gave detailed statements to those guests who had been in contact with Lu Baoqian in the end, but they had no motive for the murder, nor did they have the conditions to commit the crime. Although there are so many cameras, even a mosquito can be seen clearly, but they did not take pictures The picture of the murderer poisoning is really unbelievable.Chen Zhe said: "From what they said just now, it seems that the investigation of this case will be very troublesome."

"There are too many people present, even if the murderer leaves fingerprints, they will be covered up unintentionally. Compared with places that are inaccessible, this kind of densely populated crime scene will indeed be more difficult." Xiao Yu said.Tan Dongshu was a responsible police officer, but all he faced were people of status, and he shouted for a lawyer before he even asked a word, how could he cooperate with his work.

"I really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. In order to ensure the safety of the guests, I had arranged countless people to guard around the manor, but I didn't expect it to be impossible to guard against." Chen Zhe blamed himself, "If I can be more careful, Maybe the murderer won't have the chance to sneak in and poison him."

"Do you think the murderer came in from outside?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Isn't it? This birthday banquet invites people of high status. They are more or less related to the Chen family. Even if there are people here who have a feud with the Lu Group, they will not choose to do it at this time." " Chen Zhe said firmly, "Although Baoqian has a bad temper, she is also from a famous family and knows how to advance and retreat. She hasn't been in the manor for a long time, so she won't have any grudges with others, so I suspect that she met the murderer outside. people."

Xiao Yu and Ye Jian also said the same thing, but he didn't think the murderer took advantage of the chaos to infiltrate the guests, because with the Chen family's impenetrable anti-theft facilities and ubiquitous servants, a person who is not familiar with the terrain would want to slip away. It's just too hard to get in without being noticed.The murderer may not be among the guests, but that doesn't mean he's not in the Chen family either. Only those who have lived in the Chen family for many years know best how to do it safely.

"Why, what's the problem?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Chen Zhe turned to look at him and asked.

"No, I was just wondering what method the murderer used to poison." Xiao Yu didn't tell him the truth, he knew Chen Zhe wouldn't want to hear it.

"Since you are here on vacation, don't think about investigating the case, just relax." Chen Zhe said with a smile, "I was really taken aback last night. I haven't seen you for so many years. I didn't expect to see you again." You will come together with Ye Jian. Although he and Yuan Yuan are not biological brothers and sisters, they grew up together and their relationship has always been very good. To me, he is the future brother-in-law, you have to treat him well!"

Xiao Yu smiled lightly, but did not respond. Chen Zhe said again: "But have you ever thought about how to explain to Uncle Xiao? If he knows, he probably won't agree?"

As he said that, Chen Zhe took a tentative look at Xiao Yu, seeing that his expression didn't change, he continued: "When I was with Yuan Yuan, my family was very opposed to it. My father hoped that I could marry a girl of the right family. It will help my career in the future. But what I am looking for is a wife, not a business partner. If it is only for the family business, why don’t I recruit more capable employees? Fortunately, I ended up with After convincing them, after so many ups and downs, Yuan Yuan and I cherish the present, but you two are different from us, after all, secular concepts are still deeply rooted, you have to be mentally prepared."

"The biggest difficulty in many things lies with oneself, not for others to decide the answer." Xiao Yu said calmly.

"I can understand that the times are so open now, but after all, this runs counter to thousands of years of tradition. Most people still have colored eyes. If you keep going like this with him, you will encounter more difficult problems in the future. Xiao Yu, are you really sure that you won’t regret it by then?” The Chen family is a very traditional family, and men have always been superior to women. Although Chen Zhe doesn’t have such feudal thinking, he actually doesn’t approve of this kind of relationship. , but because of Xiao Yu's face, he could only make insinuations.

"If time can make people regret their relationship, it only means that he was not firm enough from the beginning." Xiao Yu said, "It doesn't matter what others think, I just need to be clear about what I want and what I want to do. Will suffice."

"Although that's what you say, you still have to consider the feelings of your family members. If you insist on going your own way, it will not be good for each other." Chen Zheyu said earnestly.

"I have my own plan." Xiao Yu replied coldly.

Having said all this, of course Chen Zhe couldn't say anything more, he smiled awkwardly and said, "That's right, you've always been calm in doing things, so you definitely didn't make this decision on the spur of the moment."

As the car drove into the manor, there was a burst of thunder from the sky, layers of dark clouds spread out, and lightning fell from time to time, the wind blowing on the face was cool, with the wetness before the rain.

"It's going to rain soon." Chen Zhe raised his head and said.

Don't wander around in places you don't know well, or you might get lost like Ye Jian is now.He thinks that he still has a good sense of direction, and he has never been delayed in walking the streets and alleys with his camera on his back, but how could he have imagined that this manor is like getting lost, the roads extend in all directions, and everywhere is similar, he takes one at each corner. Passed through the corner, went around and around, but couldn't find the way back.

At the beginning, he could meet servants on the road. He wanted to save face. He was afraid that such a big man would get lost if the other party laughed at him. There is no one in sight.

Dark clouds covered the sky impenetrably, and lightning fell with the sound of thunder, illuminating the high wall in front of me. It was covered with green vines, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.Ye Jian walked down the weed-covered path. The ground was covered with fallen leaves. Obviously, no one had cleaned it for a long time. I didn't expect such a luxurious house to have such a deserted place.

What would be behind the fence, a few old houses that were abandoned, or something else?

Ye Jian reached out to touch the stone wall, probably due to the long-term humidity, a layer of greasy moss had grown on it, a bolt of lightning fell from above his head, and almost at the same time, a scream came from behind the wall.

Ye Jian was taken aback, but when he listened attentively, thunder covered everything up.

Rumble

The sound was loud, and it disappeared quickly, and the surroundings returned to silence, only the wind was blowing past, and Ye Jian listened carefully for a long time, but there was no other movement behind the wall.

Was it just an illusion?

Ye Jian took a few steps back, and he found that although the wall was high, it didn't seem to have a large area. This should be the back, so what will happen to the front door?He couldn't help being a little curious, and walked down the path outside the wall. There was a fork at the corner, leading to two completely different directions. After hesitating for a moment, he chose the path closer to the wall.

It was already very dark, there were no street lights in this place, Ye Jian kept walking, and there was still a wall in front of him, without any entrance.He finds it very strange, although it seems that the area is not big, why does it seem like it will never end?He looked up, checked his surroundings carefully, and suddenly realized that this place is not alone, but the backyard of the building in the distance, and the wall connects it with the building wall and isolates it inside , and the only place to get in and out is the entrance of the building.

So who lives in that building?Why did he divide such a large courtyard alone?And the woman screaming just now, was it really an illusion?

The more Ye Jian thought about it, the more he didn't understand. He hesitated whether to continue walking. It wasn't pure curiosity, but the cry just now was too shrill and painful. If someone really needs help

Ye Jian considered for a moment, then continued to move forward, the entire sky was covered by dark clouds, thunder was rumbling, and at this moment, big raindrops fell, and a bolt of lightning cut across the sky, flashing the light behind the tree. Snowy shadows.

The shadow seemed to have no feet, and the long skirt dragged on the ground. Ye Jian suddenly thought of something supernatural, subconsciously stopped, and stammered, "Who is there?"

The surroundings had returned to darkness, and the shadow was only a vague white outline. She seemed to be turning her head to look here, and then turned around and flew away.Although it was dark, Ye Jian still recognized her identity from her panicked movements.

Chen Jing, why did that timid girl appear here?

Ye Jian subconsciously chased after her, and Chen Jing ran very fast, her figure shuttled among the trees, and her skirt was torn by overgrown branches.Afraid of scaring her, Ye Jian shouted: "Wait a minute, I"

Before he could say a word, a sharp pain came from the back of his head, and his eyes were spinning. Before he fell to the ground and lost consciousness, he saw only a dark shadow standing beside him. His eyes were cold and frightening, like a ghost seeking his life.

Chen Jing stopped when she heard the movement behind her. She turned her head and saw the black figure holding a sharp weapon. The fear in her eyes became more and more intense. She shook her head violently, kept backing away, turned around and ran away quickly.

Hei Ying glanced at the unconscious Ye Jian, threw the stick in his hand on the ground, picked up the fragments of Chen Jing's skirt that had just been hooked off, folded them carefully and put them in his pocket, turned around and left by another path .

Ye Jian fell to the ground, and the heavy rain poured down. He opened his eyes in a trance, saw the movement of the black shadow, and soon lost consciousness again.
