did not meet tonight

Chapter 169 Breaking the news

The rigor hadn't fully formed yet, which meant that Yan Meilan's death occurred about half an hour before Xiao Yu and the others discovered it, that is to say, she died when the power supply was cut off.Xiao Yu preliminarily checked the surroundings, and found that there were no other traces, and according to what the gatekeeper said, except for the cook who came to deliver meals in the evening, no one else had entered or left this place.

The rope was tied above the window, and the police suspected it was a suicide, because Yan Meilan could easily reach the rope by climbing onto the windowsill, and there was no abnormality found at the scene.But Xiao Yu didn't think so. When Yan Meilan was under house arrest, she showed a strong desire for survival. She tried her best to defend herself, claiming that the murder case had nothing to do with her. The cook also said that she was still eagerly asking herself when delivering the meal When can she go out, for no reason, how could she commit suicide?

But the police quickly found her suicide note from the drawer. There was only a short sentence, which said that she was ashamed of the Chen family and would have no face to live in the world again. After being identified by people who knew her, it was definitely her handwriting.

It can be said that Tan Dongshu has been very busy recently. The two murder cases have made him breathless. Since the third case has all the signs that it is a suicide, he is unwilling to bother about it and asks people to take Yan Meilan's body back first. , Waiting for family members to claim.

Yan Meilan was not married, her parents were far away in another country, and she was also old. When she heard the news of her daughter's death on the phone, she burst into tears.After all, she has worked in the Chen family for so many years, and there is no evidence to prove that she is the murderer. Chen Zhe felt guilty that he locked her in the room that caused her mental breakdown, and asked someone to send a sum of money to her parents.

This tossing took another whole night, and the power had not been restored until dawn. The main switch was burned out, and parts needed to be replaced. The servant drove down the mountain early in the morning to buy them.Yan Meilan's death seemed so insignificant, Chen Zhe sent her family away with a sum of money, and he began to prepare for Chen Tai's funeral. Lu Yaning, who was anxious to leave, could only stay because of affection, but she insisted on changing her family. room, Xu Xueru asked her to move to live with him.

No one thought that so many things would happen in just a few days. Chen Qiankun was bedridden, and he specially hired a private doctor to take care of him. Chen Zhe was basically in charge of all the big and small matters in the manor.

"Do you believe that Yan Meilan committed suicide?" Standing on the roof of the servant building, Ye Jian asked, this is the sixth floor, below is the residence of several servants including Yan Meilan.

"The police investigate cases with evidence." There was a strong wind on the roof, whistling past his ears, Xiao Yu looked at the mountains in the distance, his brows were tightly furrowed.

"The words are true, but the evidence has to be discovered step by step. The things that are clearly on the table are too deliberate." Ye Jian shook his head and said, "Just like Yan Meilan who can't wait to borrow another 500 years from the sky." character, she can commit suicide? I don't believe it."

"There are only her fingerprints in the room, and her suicide note is also in her handwriting." Xiao Yu said.

"That's why I said deliberately! Think about it, when she just found the head that day, she cried and defended herself, but it was written in the suicide note that she was ashamed of the Chen family. Isn't this a disguised admission that she killed someone? Nothing else happened in the past two days, so she won't just bow her head and plead guilty out of nowhere, right? Maybe someone secretly induced her, such as hypnosis or something, and wanted her to take the blame!" Ye Jian began to analyze clearly.

"But the gatekeeper made it very clear that no one else came here except the cook." Although Xiao Yu said the opposite, he did not refute, but pointed out the doubts in the incident.

"The thieves are still climbing through the windows, so how can murder come in through the front door?" Ye Jian blurted out.

Xiao Yu flicked his finger on his forehead, with a smile on his face: "It seems that I will look at you with admiration in the future."

"I'm right, don't you look like a famous detective?" Ye Jian looked proud.

"Since the murderer didn't go through the main entrance, how did he get into Yan Meilan's room?" Xiao Yu asked.

"This." Ye Jian scratched his head, "We have to analyze this again."

Xiao Yu looked down and found that the building has six floors. The first floor is the kitchen, the second floor is the tool room, three, four, and five are dormitories for the servants, and the top floor is the roof, which is used to dry things. The total height is about 20 meters.It is not impossible to climb to Yan Meilan's room from the top floor with a rope, but Yan Meilan will find out immediately. As long as she calls out, people outside the door will rush in and catch the murderer. And what method can be used to strangle Yan Meilan and escape safely without anyone noticing?

Xiao Yu swept his gaze and accidentally saw something reflecting light in the yard below. It was too far away to see what it was, so he signaled Ye Jian to go downstairs.Ye Jian originally thought they were going back, but Xiao Yu went around to the back, came directly below where they were just now, searched for a moment on the ground, and picked up an item with his hands.

"What?" Ye Jian leaned over to look it over, and found that Xiao Yu was holding a mobile phone. The case was covered with mud and water, and it could no longer be turned on.

"This phone seems to belong to Yan Meilan, I saw her use it before." Ye Jian still had some impressions, "Why did it fall here?"

This place is right below the window, Yan Meilan probably dropped it accidentally. If it happened before the murder, she would at least ask other people to help retrieve the phone, but the phone has been left in this place, so it is said to have fallen. The falling time is after the murder happened, or when it was happening.

If it is the latter, it means that Yan Meilan was probably using this mobile phone to talk to someone before she died. Through this clue, she can know what the deceased did and who she contacted.

"You stay here, I'll go to the police station down the mountain." Xiao Yu said.

"Do you think this phone is related to the murder?" Ye Jian asked.

"Any clues will become the case. I will ask Tan Dongshu to send the things to the Municipal Bureau and find someone to restore the data." Xiao Yu looked serious, just like he was at work.

"I thought you wouldn't interfere." Ye Jian joked.

"If Yuanyuan doesn't leave here, you won't leave either. It's not a good feeling to be under the fence." Xiao Yu said lightly, although the answer was not what the question was asked, but the meaning was already obvious.

"When I get back to Yicheng, I'll treat you to a big meal!" Ye Jian said in a doggy manner.

"The favor you owe me is not just this one time, save it and settle it slowly in the future." Xiao Yu smiled schemingly.

Ye Jian thinks about it too, anyway, he can't figure it out, so let's save the big meal, he is an unemployed vagrant who has no income for almost half a month!After sending Xiao Yu away, Ye Jian saw a servant holding a black curtain hurrying past on the way back. Thinking of what happened to Chen Tai, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Mr. Ye" Xiang Jingyu passed by here and greeted him.

Ye Jian raised his hand to respond, and waited for him to approach before asking: "The mountain road has been cleared, is Mr. Xiang ready to leave?"

Xiang Jingyu sighed, and said: "I called my dad, and he said that there were so many accidents in the Chen family, just when they needed help, he asked me to stay and be a helper to Brother Zhe, even if I didn't want to There is no way, who told us that our two families are family friends."

Ye Jian nodded to express his understanding, Xiang Jingyu glanced behind him, and asked, "I saw Mr. Xiao drove out just now, is he leaving?"

"No, we found an important physical evidence, and Xiao Yuzheng is going to hand it over to Officer Tan." Ye Jian said.

"Important physical evidence? What is related to the death of Butler Yan?" Xiang Jingyu asked curiously.

"If it goes well, we may be able to find clues to the murderer from inside." Ye Jian said.

"I just hope that the same thing won't happen again." Xiang Jingyu sighed, "Mr. Chen is not in good health recently, and he even called a private doctor to take care of him. It seems that Brother Tai's death really hit him hard. "

"After all, it's my son." Ye Jian was very aware of the pain of losing his flesh and blood. Even if he didn't like Chen Qiankun, he couldn't help but sympathize with him for sending a white-haired man to a black-haired one.

"If someone else drank that glass of poisoned wine, I wonder if things would have turned out differently." Xiang Jingyu said casually.

Ye Jian was startled, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, Xiang Jingyu looked at him strangely, and asked again: "Mr. Ye, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about the weather these few days. If it continues to rain, it will be more difficult to obtain evidence." Ye Jian came back to his senses, and casually gave a reason.

"Mr. Ye is indeed a detective. We all want to protect ourselves, but you and Mr. Xiao are thinking about how to solve the case." Xiang Jingyu said with admiration.

"We should consider it an occupational disease." Ye Jian said jokingly.

"To tell you the truth, I really want to get out of here quickly. There are only a few of us left from the large group of guests who came before. The news media is arguing about these things. If it weren't for the blocking of the mountain road, they would have I have already chased to the door, and now the road is clear, I guess they will come here soon with long guns and short cannons." Xiang Jingyu looked very helpless, "These people are not blocked, and they will ask anything without evidence. If you dare to scribble, I don’t like dealing with them.”

"Isn't there still Chen Zhe, I believe he will handle it well." Ye Jian said.

"That's right, I'll help if I can, and don't worry if I can't." Xiang Jingyu comforted himself.

His words really came true. Not long ago, Xiao Yu's servants came to report that several news interview vehicles had come to the gate, and all of them were carrying cameras and holding microphones, saying they wanted to interview about the murder case.Chen Zhe was arranging the funeral, and he was not in the mood to deal with those people at all, so he directly asked the servant to tell him that it was not convenient to be interviewed now.But those media reporters who had been holding back at the foot of the mountain for several days could not leave so easily, and parked their cars on the side of the road one by one, as if they did not achieve their goals.

The gate was closed, and Yu Yuanyuan went to check the situation under Chen Zhe's instruction. Through the monitoring screen, he saw a reporter sitting on the ground covered with a picnic cloth, with water and dry food on it. The camera was placed aside, and several people were eating while eating. Chatting, and glanced at the door from time to time, it seemed that they were about to fight a protracted war.

The camera installed on the gate can listen to the sound. Most people are discussing the murder case. Some say it may be a fight between rich and powerful families, some say it should be a vendetta. Everyone analyzes it in a logical manner, as if they were at the scene.Hearing what they said, he still suspected that Chen Zhe had killed Chen Tai in order to monopolize the family property. The more Yu Yuanyuan heard it, the more angry he became, and he simply turned around and left.

At this moment, she heard a reporter say, "Do you think the revelations received in the last recycling are true?"

"I heard that the person concerned is living there now. Whether it is true or not, you will know when you see someone and ask." Another reporter replied.

"To put it bluntly, do you think they will admit it? When the time comes, they will definitely open their mouths and say that this is someone deliberately framing. Don't we encounter such things rarely? Even the routines and lines are the same." Reporter A said.

"It doesn't matter if they admit it or not. The important thing is how we write it! Think about it, the young master of the Xiao family came out in public and hugged an unknown man. The title alone has to be a big hit. You don't care if he is real or not. False, let’s focus on this key point!” Reporter B generously shared his experience.

"Isn't it? With the status of the Xiao family, if this matter is going to be revealed, how much more can we expect?" A female reporter said.

"That's right, that's right, the serial murder case of a wealthy family and the rich young man coming out of the closet, we've made a lot of money this time!" The rest of the people agreed.

Yu Yuanyuan was dumbfounded, what's going on, how did they know about Ye Jian and Xiao Yu?

The mountain road was only opened yesterday, and they have already heard the news from their looks. Could it be that someone in the manor secretly took photos and sent them to them?Who is it, who would do such a despicable and shameless thing?
