Chapter 55
"Everything around the crime scene is worthy of careful inspection. Every place and every corner should not be missed. I just did my duty." Mu Li explained lightly, with a calm expression on his face.

"It turns out that the courtyard was originally owned by the young master, but later the young master moved to Lihuaxi. Except for the cleaning servants, basically no one would go there." Lin Yuan seemed to mention the origin of the yard casually. It looks like it's implying something.

Mu Li stopped talking, looked away, and looked at him quietly.

Du Sheng brought the bag in front of Lin Yuan again, and asked, "Can I trouble the butler to find out the previous memo?"

Lin Yuan nodded, "Captain Du, please wait a moment, I'll look for it right away."

"It's work."

"It should." Lin Yuan nodded to Du Sheng, then looked at Mu Li, then turned and entered the villa.

Only then did Mu Li shift his gaze to Lin Yuan's back again, feeling that every word he said today had an implication.

Before Lin Yuan brought the previous memo, Shu Wan had finished asking, and the three of them went to the back mountain together to check the scene again.

This time, Mu Li no longer took the initiative, but silently followed Shu Wan, playing the role of assistant dutifully.

While Shu Wan and Du Sheng checked the case, they chatted about the case without saying a word. Not surprisingly, "the young lady" was mentioned again.

"The youngest of the Lin family has already married a wife?" Du Sheng asked in surprise.

Shu Wan responded lightly: "That's what the domestic servant said, and I asked two more questions later, and there is indeed someone like the young lady."

"Then has she really been to Houshan?"

"Only one domestic helper said that and I believe she is not lying."

"But why did the young lady come to the back mountain?"

"I don't know, but what is certain is that she left before the birthday banquet was over. And—" Shu Wan stopped walking, his eyes focused on a certain place on the ground, "The deceased is also here It disappeared before the birthday party was over."

"How did you know?"

"Of course it's the information asked."

"But we asked before and didn't get the key. Are you sure it's true?"

Shu Wan shook his head dubiously, "Investigating a case is to collect, dig, and sort out clues bit by bit. It's normal to have inconsistencies. It's strange that when you asked, no one mentioned 'Eldest Young Madam'." ?”

Du Sheng was also puzzled.

Mu Li followed behind them, also caught in this question.

"This kind of family situation is inherently complicated, and this case cannot be solved too quickly." Shu Wan thought for a while and came to such a conclusion.

Du Sheng also faintly felt that it was unusual, a little irritated but helpless, "Now there is another problem. The deceased's interpersonal relationship was so simple that it was hard to imagine who had the motive to kill her. Moreover, there were no traces of fighting or struggling at the scene. How can a person who has been stabbed several times not struggle?"

Surprised, Mu Li looked down at the ground. How did Du Sheng see that there were no signs of struggle?

Shu Wan already asked doubts, "How do you know there is no struggle or fight?"

Du Sheng took two steps back, pointed to the dry ground and said: "Look carefully at the soil here. Although there was a heavy rain after the murder, many marks were washed away, but there was too much blood loss, and the blood penetrated into the soil, so it is not easy to wash away. .”

"Look here, the color is much darker than the others, especially after it dries up. And these blood-stained soils are all concentrated, even when it comes to the shape of these spots, they are all regular."

"From these imprints, it's easy to infer that this is the scene of the first crime, and the restoration of the whole process is also very simple. The deceased was killed here and was stabbed several times without struggling, or in other words, unable to struggle."

"In addition to the spraying of the blood during the stabbing process, the blood gradually spread to the surrounding area, and then concentratedly flowed to the ground. Finally, the murderer threw the body into the bushes, and the blood was still flowing out, and this piece of land was intensively soaked. "

"But what is certain is that the deceased was already dead before she fell into the bushes, and the murderer only discarded her after confirming her death. If there was a struggle, then the blood would not be so concentrated."

"So, it's hard to imagine how a woman can endure the pain and fear without struggling or calling for help when she's been stabbed several times in a row?"

"There may be two reasons. First, the murderer locked her tightly, and she had no chance to struggle and call for help. Second, the murderer was someone she was familiar with, and he was very familiar and even close. The shock was greater than the fear, and she forgot. struggling and calling for help." Shu Wan followed Du Sheng's speculation and expressed his personal opinion.

Du Sheng nodded in agreement, "I think so too, that's why I'm surprised. Her interpersonal relationship is simple. Except for people far away in her hometown, who else can be called familiar and close? Could it be that she spends all day with her, the relationship Best colleague?"

"What's the motive?" Shu Wan asked.

Du Sheng spread his hands, "Based on what I've learned, I really can't think of any motive."

"But I have a strong intuition that the murderer must be someone from this house." Shu Wan frowned slightly, and she had that speculative look again - the last time she discussed the "Wilderness Murder Case", she was This expression can be said to be basically right.

For some reason, Mu Li actually believed her speculation.

At this time, Du Sheng asked: "Is that the young lady?"

Mu Li was startled suddenly.

Shu Wan shook her head, "It's not like that, but this eldest young lady is very suspicious, maybe we should start with her? After all, before the surveillance video is repaired, the only thing that is certain is that she came to Houshan, and the time coincides with the case."

Du Sheng folded his arms around his chest and touched his chin in deep thought.

Shu Wan shook his head lightly, let go of his thoughts, and looked around again.

Mu Li remained silent, standing in place and watching the surroundings quietly. If she really wanted to attack the eldest young lady, she would no longer be able to hide it.

Now that she has mastered Lin Jinqian's most important secret, ignoring Mu Dezhong's persecution, she is not in a hurry to reveal her identity. Some things can be seen more clearly in the dark.

Furthermore, what if Shu Wan thinks of the "Wilderness Murder Case" if his identity is exposed?What happened back then, at least at this time, she had to hide it no matter what.

"Didn't the police find this?" Shu Wan's voice sounded, interrupting Mu Li's thinking.

She followed the sound and saw that Shu Wan was bending over, staring at the place where the body was found, looking at something intently.

Du Sheng also leaned forward and followed her gaze, "Why? I didn't notice it before."

Shu Wan leaned over and reached out to carefully remove something from the branch - it turned out to be hair.

Hair of the dead?

"Did it get tangled up when it was thrown away?" Du Sheng asked, "How can it be so tightly tangled?"

Shu Wan frowned, and after a while, said, "I think you're wrong about one thing."

"what?"

"When the deceased fell into the bushes, she was not completely dead. She was still struggling, but she didn't have much strength."

"Not dead?"

"If it died and was just discarded in the bushes, how could the hair be so tightly entangled? Only when people are constantly moving and struggling will the hair become more tightly entangled."

It seems to make sense--

"Captain Du, Captain Du, are you on the mountain?" A call came from the bottom of the mountain, and the voice came from the housekeeper Lin Yuan.

Du Sheng responded immediately, "Yes."

"I found what you asked me to look for. Besides, our Sixth Young Master is back. He wants to invite you to the living room for a while. He has something to tell you."

Lin Yisheng is back?Mu Li raised his watch and glanced at it. He should be in the company at this time.

"Xiaowan, let's go down, I think you should also meet the sixth young master of the Lin family."

Shu Wan nodded, handed the strands of hair to Du Sheng, and followed him down the mountain, and Mu Li could only go with him.

In the living room of the main house, Lin Yisheng was already waiting, and the tea was served. He was sitting in the master's seat, immersing himself in the computer, as if he still had a lot of business to do.

"Sixth Young Master, Captain Du is here." Lin Yuantong reported.

Lin Yisheng hurriedly put away the computer, stood up and stretched out his hand to greet him, "Captain Du, we meet again, hello."

"Hello." Du Sheng also said politely, and then introduced Shu Wan and Mu Li.

Lin Yisheng nodded one by one out of politeness, and Shu Wan also took the initiative to shake hands with him. As an assistant, Mu Li could only imitate.

However, Lin Yisheng obviously knew that she was coming, and he treated her just like he treated Shu Wan, and it was the politeness and courtesy of meeting for the first time.

The four of them took their seats one after another, took a sip of tea to moisten their throats, and then got to the point after being polite.

Du Sheng first asked: "Why did the Sixth Young Master come back suddenly?"

Lin Yisheng smiled and replied, "Lin Yuan notified me as soon as you arrived at Lin's house. I also have something I want to tell Captain Du, so I rushed back. It's easier to talk about it at Lin's house than going to the police station."

With a simple sentence, everyone will understand.

If Lin's family were to go to the police station in person, if they were caught by the media, it would become a bombshell. What's more, the Houshan murder case was a secret investigation and the public didn't know about it.

"So, what does Liu Shao want to tell me?" Du Sheng asked again.

However, Lin Yisheng hesitated, showing unspeakable embarrassment, sighed, and said: "Speaking of it, it's all the grievances and enmities between several big families. After the incident, the whole Lin family was restless. After much deliberation, what I said today is just the random speculation of the Lin family."

"Understand, please just say, whether it's a guess or a fact, our police will check it out."

"Captain Du really understands people. With your words, then I won't hide any more." Lin Yisheng smiled, with a humble expression, but he glanced at Mu Li before speaking, his eyes were difficult to distinguish, "The Lin family is in Rongcheng. The status is well known, but the Lin family has actually had its own difficulties over the years."

"The most troublesome thing is the relationship with the Mu family."

Mu Li was taken aback, and asked politely, why did you mention the Mu family?
She was not the only one surprised. Du Sheng and Shu Wan also cast curious glances. They both knew Mu Li's identity. What kind of rhythm is this when the heir of the Lin family speaks ill of the Mu family in front of the Mu family?
