Chapter 74

"So what do you think?" Yan Junli asked in a low voice, "The footprints lead to the courtyard, did someone break in? But why did the footprints disappear out of thin air?"

"No one disappears out of thin air. It's just a trick." Yang Wenbin squatted down, stroking the traces in the soil with his fingers, "He stepped back on his original footprints. Look, the footprints closest to the door The edges are blurred, and the patterns on the soles of the shoes are not clear, because the murderer lost his footing when he heard us chasing up, and failed to completely step on his own footprints."

"Really." Li Hong also squatted down to check the footprints by the door, "So the murderer is still someone from this house?"

"A murderer, not a murderer." Yang Wenbin muttered to himself, "He will not be a murderer."

"But if he wasn't the murderer, how could he—" Yan Junli was taken aback, "Wait, you already know who attacked us?"

Yang Wenbin stood up straight, nodded, but said nothing.

In the following time, Yang Wenbin never mentioned the night attack again, and they didn't receive any attacks after they fell asleep.The murder seemed to be overshadowed by the peaceful atmosphere in the manor, as if the calm could last forever.And Li Hong seemed to devote all his energy to the twins, playing with them energetically every day, that's all, he even called Yang Wenbin or Yan Junli to join him from time to time.

"You didn't receive it! I won!" Meng Yingjun cheered.

"But you didn't throw it at me at all!" Li Hong said angrily, "You did it on purpose!"

Meng Yingjun pouted his mouth high: "That's my win!"

"It's impossible to tell the winner or loser like this. Otherwise, let's change the game." Meng Yinghua suggested.With the friendliness shown by Yang Wenbin and the others these days, the child's hostility towards them has become less intense.

"Then let's play hide-and-seek!" Meng Yingjun happily pointed to Yang Wenbin and said, "Let that big brother over there be a ghost!"

"What? But I..." Yang Wenbin said helplessly, "You know I can't run fast."

Li Hong immediately said: "No, no, you can't bully the lame brother! I'm going to be a ghost, you guys go and hide!"

But before the children could hide, a face poked out from the door, it was Yu Yongyi who was smiling.

"Children, it's time to eat!"

Meng Yingjun cheered and ran into the restaurant, while Meng Yinghua seemed dissatisfied that the game was interrupted, and followed behind with curled lips.Li Hong stood up straight with a smile in his eyes.

"You get along well with the children." Yang Wenbin said with a smile.

"That's right." Li Hong looked in the direction of the twins and said softly, "Children's minds are always very simple. When you get along with them, you will feel that the whole world has become clean. My sister was also like this back then. A little thing will make you feel clean." It was fun, and it was so easy to make her laugh."

"You..." Yang Wenbin once heard about Li Hong's sister's tragedy from Yan Junli, but he didn't understand it all the time. Just when he hesitated to ask this sensitive question, he was interrupted by Yan Junli's voice.

"Wenbin!"

Yang Wenbin turned around, and Yan Junli was walking towards him.

"I'll help you ask what you want. It took a lot of effort. There is a classmate from the police academy in City B, but he is not from the criminal investigation department, and it took a long time to get the interrupt." Yan Junli said himself Handed over his mobile phone, "You have to treat me to dinner when you go back."

"What is it?" Li Hong moved over curiously.

Yang Wenbin flipped through the text message quickly: "It's the autopsy reports of Meng Yangping and Mei Qing."

"Wow, Captain Yan is amazing." Li Hong said admiringly, "This can be done too."

"A large amount of alcohol was found in Meng Yangping's stomach. He must have been drunk before his death. The murderer may have taken this opportunity to strike. The body was found to have had sex not long before his death, perhaps before returning home. Go to some romantic place, if this person is like what Yu Yongyi said, then there is nothing surprising." Yan Junli said, "And the fatal injury, as you speculated before, was an ordinary kitchen knife. The force was so fierce that the wounds were opened to both sides. Meng Yangping's fatal wound was on the head, and Mei Qing's was on the abdomen. But there is one very strange thing, even though the murderer used a lot of force, the wounds were not very deep. He added another shot before killing Meng Yangping."

"Whose is the one below?" Yang Wenbin asked suddenly.

"What?" Yan Junli was puzzled.

Yang Wenbin held up the phone and said solemnly: "Which vixen sent you the following text message?"

"That's my classmate from the police school—no, why should I answer you!" Yan Junli was angry and funny, "You're still joking at this juncture, talking about the case!"

Li Hong covered his eyes with the back of his hand: "Why don't you two get married yet?"

Yan Junli raised his hand and gave Li Hong a slap, while Yang Wenbin smiled and brought the topic back on track.

"Oh, about what you just said, I actually noticed it when the body was found."

"What? Then why didn't you say it?"

"Because I'm too lazy to explain to Yuan Chengze why the murderer is weak when killing people but has great strength when moving the corpse."

"Oh... that's right!" Li Hong suddenly realized, "Why is that?"

"Because the person who did these two things was not alone at all." Yang Wenbin said word by word.

"I just beat brother Li Hong, but he just won't admit it!" Meng Yingjun argued dissatisfiedly while nibbling on the bread.

"How did you win over Officer Li?" Ma Xiangtao said in a reproachful tone, "You must have messed up."

"I don't have one!" Meng Yingjun pouted, and everyone laughed lightly.

"The last dessert!" Yu Yongyi's voice came from far to near, and he held a silver tray in his hand, which contained a delicate cream cake, which made people look very appetizing.Seeing the twins cheering, Meng Yingjun jumped up directly from the chair, this jump was not a big deal, Yu Yongyi dodged to the side, and kicked the side cabinet, the huge cabinet made a "squeak" sound , just dump the whole thing forward.

"Yu Yongyi!"

At this moment, the old butler who was closest to the cabinet stood up suddenly, supported the crumbling cabinet with both hands, and returned the big thing to its original position with force.

"God, it must be because this cabinet is too old and toothless." Ge Tianlu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "After all, it was already here when he was the last head of the house."

"Grandpa Ge is amazing!" Meng Yingjun cheered.

Yang Wenbin also said in shock: "I really didn't expect the old housekeeper to be so strong."

"The style is still the same as before." Yan Junli praised.

Ge Tianlu waved his hand: "Where is it, I am old and useless. When I was young, I was able to work much more than now."

At this time, the faces of this family were full of smiles, making people feel in a trance that this was just an ordinary family that could be seen everywhere.

but……

"This family will collapse sooner or later." Yang Wenbin suddenly said such a sentence.

"What did you say?" Yan Junli didn't react for a moment.

"It's nothing." Yang Wenbin lowered his head, seemingly hesitating to speak.

"What's wrong with you?" Yan Junli put down the book in his hand, and walked to Yang Wenbin, "You seem to be listless these two days. Usually when there is a case, don't you jump higher than anyone else?"

Yang Wenbin once again deliberately avoided Yan Junli's questioning, and changed the subject: "Where is Xiaohong?"

"He seems to have gone to the police station in city B, saying that he wanted to see if there was any progress in the investigation there." Yan Junli sighed, "Although I think there is Yuan Chengze in city B, there must be nothing useful The police, but it's better than nothing."

Yang Wenbin nodded, and at this moment there was a knock on the door.

"Brother Li Hong, are you there?"

Yan Junli walked over to open the door, and found two children outside. Meng Yingjun held a small plate in his hand, which contained a piece of jujube cake.

"Li Hong has gone out, what can I do with him?" Yan Junli asked.

The twins showed somewhat disappointed expressions on their faces: "I wanted Brother Li Hong to taste the jujube cake made by Brother Yu, but I didn't expect him to go out..."

"It's okay, come in." Yang Wenbin waved to the two children, "He should be back soon, you can put it here first, and I will tell him when he comes back."

Meng Yingjun bouncing up to Yang Wenbin's side, held up a small plate: "It's okay, brother Li Hong is not here, I can eat it for you."

Yang Wenbin showed a gentle smile, patted Meng Yingjun's head, picked up a piece of jujube cake and ate it: "Well, it tastes good."

Yan Junli, who was on the side, couldn't help but joked: "You are also very good at dealing with children."

"What are you doing?" Meng Yingjun looked curiously at Yang Wenbin's phone.

"Work." Yang Wenbin said patiently.

"Is your work on your phone?" Meng Yingjun said innocently, "It's amazing!"

Yang Wenbin couldn't help laughing, and patted Meng Yingjun's head.At this moment, Yang Wenbin noticed something strange.

"Handsome, what's that on your back? Is it a scar?" Since the twins are now wearing suspender pajamas, Yang Wenbin can clearly notice that there are several strange shapes on the right shoulder blade of Meng Yingjun's back. scar-like marks.

"Are you talking about this?" Meng Yingjun tilted his head, "Grandpa Ge said it's not a scar, but a birthmark. My brother also has one on his left shoulder."

"Can I take a look?" Yang Wenbin immediately looked at Meng Yinghua, asking for permission.
