Chapter 56 Discovering the Cement Pile

The next day, March 3th. The sun was shining brightly and a gentle breeze blew across my cheeks.

Lao Sun and his apprentice Zhu Lan rushed to the villa complex. After a bumpy morning, they finally arrived at Song Hui's villa that had changed owners.

Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking at the villa, it stands in front of people like a giant. The villa is a complete rough house, and the exterior walls are all cement walls visible to the naked eye. It gives the impression of a blue-gray color, with a wall-to-wall solemnity and a sense of desolation.

Information shows that the villa has an area of ​​120 square meters. The road in front of the door was made into a smooth cement road, and the lion statue and the villa were all covered with grass.

When entering, I saw that the interior wall of the villa was simply coated with a layer of rough cement, with many particles exposed. If you press it lightly with your fingers, you will be stung by the sharp sand and stones.

The sun shines into the villa from the empty window, and you can see rough cement particles all over the floor. Dust falls into the gaps between particles, but it doesn't fill up the ravines.

A number of scattered footprints could be vaguely seen scattered in the villa, so messy and blurry that they were difficult to identify.

"Why are there so many footprints?" Zhu Lan asked casually.

"Hey, it should have been left by the police officers who searched the mountain." Lao Sun sighed.

"Oh, that's right!" Zhu Lan knelt down and looked carefully for a while, but there were almost no complete footprints. She asked herself, "Will there be any traces of the murderer here?"

"I don't know. The target was broad last time, and they might not have paid attention to their footprints in their hurry." Lao Sun encouraged.

They put on rubber boots and went around the corner of the hall to check, trying not to damage the scene.

At this time, Zhu Lan took the lead and entered a bedroom on the right. The bedroom was empty, the floor and hall were in the same condition. She said: "Master, the gold can't be buried under this bedroom, right?"

Lao Sun said nothing and pointed to the bedroom next door, "Let's go and take a look."

The second villa was still empty, and the ground felt rough. Stepping on it, the sand and gravel crunched. The sound was not loud, but the echo spread in the empty bedroom, making it seem very loud.

There is nothing unusual here, not even a superfluous thing.

Continuing to look at the two bedrooms near the kitchen, there is still nothing special about them.

In the hall of Nuoda's villa, there is only one bedroom behind the stairs.

Lao Song and Zhu Lan walked inside one after another. The space inside was not large, only about ten square meters. It seems that this place should not be used as a bedroom, but is more suitable for storing sundries.

In the corner of the utility room, there is a pile of solidified cement, like a hill with its head cut off.

Lao Sun deliberately kicked it with his feet. Unexpectedly, the cement stuck to the ground firmly and could not be moved at all. She glanced out the window and saw the branches.

I walked over and broke off a section, only to find that it was very brittle and tender. When I poked the cement with it, the cement did not shake, but it broke into two pieces.

"This method won't work." Lao Sun complained.

Zhu Lan said: "Master, how about we go back and get a hoe and shovel."

"Hey, it takes half a day to go back and forth." Old Sun shook his head, feeling that this was more of a bad idea.

Zhu Lan said: "What should we do?"

Lao Sun was already deep in thought and did not hear.

When they walked out of the utility room, they didn't look sideways.

But no matter what, out of the corner of her eye, Zhu Lan still saw another pile of cement at the bottom of the spiral staircase. Similarly, this cement is integrated with the cement floor.

She immediately grabbed the hem of her master's clothes and said, "Master, look!"

Lao Sun turned around and said, "Hey, why is there one here?"

She kicked it with her foot, barely breaking the angular cement. A bit of cement rolled down and rolled to his feet.

The light here was relatively dark, but after she squatted down and took a closer look, she found that the color of the cement mixed with sand and gravel was different from the cement on the surrounding ground.

The difference is very small, but you can still tell that the cement on the ground is grayer, while the cement accumulated in the hills is greener. "Obviously, the cement is not from the same period." Lao Sun judged.

Zhu Lan also squatted down and discovered more abnormalities. I saw a lot of footprints next to the cement near the utility room, one after another.

"Colleagues from Sou Shan don't need to go around to the cement. Because standing here, you may only see a corner of the utility room. Or only a small half of the entrance to the villa."

"Yes, that makes sense." Lao Sun said.

Suddenly, Lao Sun turned around and walked out, his footsteps hurried, "Let's go!"

"Where are you going, master? Wait for me." Zhu Lan chased after him.

Lao Sun didn't walk back along the way he came. Instead, he walked along the concrete road to the edge of the villa. Immediately afterwards, she walked towards the slopes of Xilang Mountain.

After walking for two minutes, she took out her mobile phone to make a call. After the call was connected, she said: "Hello? It's Xiao Li. Please take the time to go to the Xilang Mountain Villas as soon as possible to look for footprints. Counting up from the foot of the mountain, the second Building No. 2."

Xiao Li hurriedly asked, "Whose footprints are you taking?"

"I suspect the murderer may have left footprints in the villa."

After hanging up the phone, Lao Sun strode upwards.

"Hey, Master, where are you going?" Zhu Lan shouted.

Lao Sun pointed ahead.

After a long time, they finally arrived at the familiar wooden door.

Only then did Zhu Lan understand the master's intention.

Lao Sun knocked on the door, but a long time passed and no sound came out. After waiting for a while, she continued to knock on the door, "Old man, are you at home?"

Still no one answered.

The master and apprentice looked at each other.

After waiting for a while, Lao Sun decided to climb the wall and enter, "Zhu Lan, step on my shoulders."

"No, how is this possible? Master should step on my shoulders." Zhu Lan smiled slightly, showing a pair of dimples, but her attitude was firm.

But Lao Sun shook his head, "Hurry up! Your shoulder was bitten by a wild dog, and there's no scab on it, right?"

Zhu Lan, "Uh!"

So Lao Sun was at the bottom, and Zhu Lan stepped on his shoulders and grabbed the wall with one hand. Although Lao Sun is an old detective, his strength cannot be underestimated. She shouted loudly and stood up with strength on her knees.

Zhu Lan's hands suddenly reached the top of the cement wall. She raised her right leg and stepped on it. After a while, her whole body appeared on the top of the wall.

She looked around the room and saw no ladder. So I clamped my legs on both sides of the wall and stretched out to pull the master up.

But this way, Lao Sun couldn't be reached. She was about to fall, and his hands couldn't reach her. "Hey, it's too far."

"Hold me for a moment." Lao Sun took a few steps back, took a running start, and bounced toward the wall. Jumping up to the wall, she reached out.

Zhu Lan took her hand and pulled her towards the wall. She grabbed her apprentice with one hand and climbed up the wall with the other.

The two jumped down and threw the hoes and shovels outside the wall.

Just as she was about to leave, Lao Sun pulled out a note and pen and ink from her pocket, and wrote a few big words: "Police, Lao Sun, I will borrow the farm tools of the two elders and return them immediately after use." She put the paper The strip was thrown to the ground and held down by a small stone.

Next, they followed the same pattern and returned to the door of the villa.

With tools, solidified cement can be removed.
