did not meet tonight

As expected, Xu Rongrong's work efficiency was not a fault of his own, and he quickly arranged the itinerary for Xiao Yu at the hot spring villa.Huating Mountain is a well-known scenic spot around Yicheng. There are many plum blossoms planted on it. After the season, the white ones are like snow, and the red ones are like fire. An antique house.

This house has a history of many years. After several renovations, it has the current scale. The current owner of the villa is Ji Zonglun. He is 34 years old this year. He is a high-achieving student from a famous foreign university. A hot spring hotel.His wife's name is Tang Sining, who is his junior in college. The two met because of a party, and soon fell in love. A grand wedding was held in the villa more than two years ago.

Such a pair of talented and beautiful lovers should be very enviable, but Tang Sining disappeared for no reason in the summer a year ago, and according to Ji Zonglun, everything was normal before the disappearance of his wife, and there was nothing unusual about it. The person disappeared just like that. Ji Zonglun searched everywhere, but couldn't find Tang Sining's whereabouts.The police believed that she might have been involved in an accident, but Ji Zonglun always believed that his wife was still alive, as long as there was any news, he would not let it go.

The animal corpse incident happened a month ago. The first person who discovered the situation was a female employee. She had resigned because of fear. It was originally the peak season for hot springs, but because of the negative impact of this incident, the villa has been left out. , but attracted many media reporters who came to dig news.

These are all the information collected by the detectives. Xu Rongrong organized them into documents, and marked each item in detail, so that people can understand it at a glance.Ye Jian slid the tablet and looked down one by one. Apart from him and Xiao Yu, Zhou Jinyang from the detective agency was also in charge of driving this time. say a word.

"This Ji Zonglun is quite infatuated." This was Ye Jian's conclusion.

"Tang Sining disappeared at the Hot Spring Villa, and the last person who saw her was Ji Zonglun," Xiao Yu said.

"Do you think these two things are related?" Ye Jian asked.

"Maybe, maybe not, but don't forget, the commission we accepted was to investigate the dead animals." Xiao Yu reminded him.

"The meaning of the existence of a private detective is to be able to step into the gray area where the police can't intervene. Doesn't it feel particularly fulfilling to think about it?" Ye Jian said circumstantially.

Xiao Yu knew what he was thinking, so he simply ignored it.The car drove across the Binjiang Bridge and gradually entered the road of the scenic spot. Today is not a holiday, and there are not many vehicles entering and leaving, and the road is relatively smooth. After driving along the Huanshan Road for nearly an hour, they finally came to the ancient building in the photo. house front.

Standing at the gate was a man wearing an off-white sweater. He was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He was tall and thin, with a gentle temperament, but his complexion was not good. His eyes were surrounded by a faint crow-blue color, making him look haggard.Seeing the car stop, he greeted him with a smile: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Xiao?"

"Hi, I'm Xiao Yu." Xiao Yu shook hands with him as a gesture.

"Welcome to come, the road has been hard, the guest room is ready, I will take you there first." Ji Zonglun led the way, and after entering the door was a yard planted with flowers and plants, which may be due to the neglect of care during this period , rotten fallen leaves stuck to the flagstone road, and the flowers in the flower beds were listless.Across the yard is the front desk. The decoration style is still very retro. Even the stairs are made of pure wood. There are several ink paintings on the wall, which complements this antique house, but there is no sound in the huge place, which makes it very deserted.

"Are there any other guests in the village?" Xiao Yu asked.

"After such a thing happened, and it was spread by media reporters, no one would dare to come." Ji Zonglun said with a wry smile, "Now our villa is an ominous place where evil spirits ravage in the eyes of others. suffer."

"In what age, there are still people who believe this kind of nonsense. Ghosts and snakes are all made up to create topics. I think the real instigator is still a human!" Ye Jian said affirmatively, he never believed such rumors Yes, in his words, it means that ghosts and ghosts are upright, and there is nothing to be afraid of if you don't do anything wrong!

"It would be great if this is the case, but it's a pity that they are more willing to believe those unfounded guesses." Ji Zonglun looked very bad, and it was obvious that this incident had tortured him enough, "You should be tired when you first arrived. Why don't you go back to the guest room and rest for a while?"

"No need, Mr. Ji, please copy a copy of the monitoring data for us." Although he is no longer a policeman, the habit he has formed has been deeply ingrained. Whenever he enters the working state, Xiao Yu will become calm and serious, "Still Yes, we need to go to the scene to see."

Ji Zonglun nodded, and took them to the place where the animal carcass was first discovered. It was a side door on the courtyard wall, very close to the kitchen. It was usually used to move ingredients, and the employee who first discovered the situation was Mrs. Chef, from then on, animal carcasses appeared in the villa every day, and all of them were skinned and left there bloody.

"Are all those animals put in the same place?" Xiao Yu asked.

"In the first few days, it was at the side door, and then it became the window of the hall on the first floor. Recently, it has been thrown directly to the gate, but it is not fixed. Sometimes these three places will appear at the same time. Ji Zonglun replied, "The police invited experts from the Forestry Bureau to look at them. They said that those corpses were wild animals in the mountains. The fur on their bodies was artificially stripped. The cause of death is unknown, but suffocation or drowning are more likely." For this matter, the Forestry Bureau specially asked someone to patrol the mountain for several days, but they did not find any clues."

Hunting and killing wild animals is against the law. No wonder the police and forestry bureau have paid attention to it. Xiao Yu then asked, "Apart from this, are there any other discoveries?"

"I also told the police about one thing. Before this incident, I just fired an employee because he was unclean, stole the property of the guests, and was caught on the spot. I suspect that he was retaliating. , The police also went to investigate, but he disappeared after leaving the villa, and he has not been found until now." Ji Zonglun said.

Seeing the change of expression on his face, Xiao Yu already guessed the meaning of this sentence: "Do you think he is still hiding in a corner here, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on the villa?"

Although Ji Zonglun was surprised, he did not deny it: "He has been in the villa for two years and knows the terrain here very well. Apart from him, I can't think of a second possibility."

"But even he can't explain the disappearance of the monitoring screen." Ye Jian asked.

"This is what I don't understand. I hope that Mr. Xiao can solve the puzzle so that our villa can resume normal business as soon as possible." Ji Zonglun said with great expectation.

Even Ye Jian felt the pressure on his body. He was thinking about whether it was appropriate for him to force Xiao Yu to take over this business, when he heard Xiao Yu say, "Mr. Ji, please give me the detailed information of the employees of the villa."

"Okay, I'll send it to you in a while." Ji Zonglun remembered another matter and said, "Mr. Xiao, there is something I want to tell you, I hope you don't mind. You have also seen the current situation of the villa , There are all kinds of rumors outside, although I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but I still have to think about the villa, so I invited an onmyoji to come to exorcise evil spirits, and I should be here today."

"There are onmyojis in Yicheng?" Ye Jian looked surprised, he had only seen these three words on the Internet.

"Yes, it was my fault for not telling you in advance." Ji Zonglun said apologetically.

"We are only hired to investigate what needs to be investigated. What Mr. Ji wants to do is your freedom. We have no right to interfere and will not interfere." Xiao Yu said lightly, he is not Ye Jian, of course he would not do it Do something that's all about justice.

As he said that, he turned his thoughtful gaze to Ye Jian, but Ye Jian didn't look at him at all at this time, but asked with great interest: "What's the name of that onmyoji? Can he really exorcise evil spirits?"

"His surname is Feng, and he is the head of the Feng family." Ji Zonglun introduced.

An image of an old man with white hair and eyebrows appeared in Ye Jian's mind, wearing a gray and white long gown, holding a dust whisk in his hand, and his hair tied into a knot on his forehead. Since he can be called the head of the sect, he should be like this. Honestly.But Xiao Yu's face had already darkened at this time, and a mocking and helpless smile floated up. Seeing his expression, Ye Jian asked strangely: "What's the matter, do you know the head of the sect?"

"The road to Yuanjia is narrow." Xiao Yu said four words.
