Chapter 24 Setting Up a Bureau (4)

In the villa, Chen Jialuo saw Mabond's face covered in blood, and said with a horrified look: "Uncle Ma! Did you start fighting with them?"

Mabond said easily: "I wasn't injured, I just had a small misunderstanding and was accidentally splashed with chicken blood."

After finishing speaking, he took out the black cloth bag and said, "Let's take a look at the contents here first."

Chen Yan asked: "What is this?"

"I don't know, the other party just gave this to me."

The cloth bag was wrapped tightly. Mabond opened it and analyzed: "I still don't know why the other party gave me this thing, but if you think about it on the bright side, maybe the other party is asking us for money."

"Want money?"

Mabond nodded, "According to my observation just now, the reason why Li Xianglan dared to lead people to do such pretentious things at the gate is that the police were actually supporting her behind the scenes."

Chen Yan's heart sank and he thought: "Are the police still suspicious of Jia Luo?"

Mabond said: "This is very likely, but judging from tonight, it may not be a bad thing."

After finishing speaking, Mabond leaned close to the other party's ear and whispered: "It is precisely because the police do not have any evidence of Jialuo's murder, so they let that crazy woman do whatever she wants. If they really have evidence in their hands, today

The person who comes to find Jialuo will not be Li Xianglan, but the police."

After hearing this analysis, Chen Yan also breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly said: "So you think that the other party gave you this package because there is no other way. Anyway, the person is dead, and he just wants some compensation from us?"

Mabond said: "Besides this explanation, I really can't think of any other possibility."

Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, because for him at this time, "compensation" was simply the best solution.

Soon, the black cloth bag was opened, but there was nothing related to asking for compensation, nor any electronic equipment. It only contained two humanoid dolls made of black clay, and just behind the dolls,

Two photos were inserted with steel pins. The two people in the photos were Ma Bond and Chen Jialuo.

Chen Yan frowned and said bluntly: "Is this woman named Li Xianglan really mentally ill? Why would she send something like this to a child playing house?"

Mabond couldn't figure it out either. After carefully examining the two clay dolls, he seemed to suddenly think of something and asked doubtfully: "If I remember correctly, this thing seems to be called a 'dropping head'?"

"Head down?"

Chen Yan has been wandering around the world for a long time and has never believed in any strange things. However, he still listened patiently to the other party's explanation: "The head drop is an evil witchcraft in Southeast Asia. The wizard uses the photo of the target person to create it."

A doll can kill people thousands of miles away."

"Absurd!" Chen Yan felt ridiculous hearing these unrealistic things. At this time, he was even more convinced that Li Xianglan would do such a ridiculous thing when he was desperate, so he said: "Throw this thing out!

"

"No! Don't throw them away!" Chen Jialuo suddenly rushed over, snatched the two clay figures and protected them in his hands, and said with a horrified expression: "Uncle Ma! They must have found some expert to bow their heads to us! What we are doing to the clay figures now

Anything will happen to you, that's what the movie says!"

Mabond smiled bitterly and shook his head, but the next second he suddenly stopped laughing and snatched the two clay figurines from the opponent's hands.

"Uncle Ma! Don't..." Before Chen Jialuo could finish his words, Ma Bond broke off the head of his clay figurine. He only heard a crisp "click" of the connecting rod inside the doll, but nothing happened.

"Jia Luo, look at me." Mabond asked: "I broke the neck of the clay figurine with my photo on it, what's wrong with me?"

Chen Jialuo looked at Mabond tremblingly, but saw that the other party suddenly picked up a fruit knife and wiped it towards the clay figurine with his photo on it. A deep knife mark immediately appeared on the clay figurine's neck.

"ah!"

Chen Jialuo screamed in fright, but saw Ma Bangde throw the two clay figures into the trash can, and said seriously: "Jialuo, Li Xianglan is just a desperate crazy woman now, but you are the man who will inherit the family business in the future.

Remember! Those who achieve great things do not seek help from others. I hope that after this incident, your heart will gradually become stronger. Go and rest."

Chen Jialuo walked up the stairs cautiously, but he could clearly feel the disappointed look in his father's eyes behind him.

In the room, Chen Jialuo looked at the gate of the community through the window. Li Xianglan, who was dressed in red, felt more and more weird as he looked at it. He felt extremely scared, so he closed the curtains tightly and huddled under the quilt.



At night, when Chen Yan returned to the bedroom, he vaguely heard a woman sobbing. Of course, he understood that it was his wife who was still worried about her son, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

When Chen's mother saw the other party walking in, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed his arm and said, "Husband! If something happens to my son... I, what will I do from now on!"

Chen Yan frowned, sat down to comfort his wife, and explained patiently: "Lao Ma has arranged everything. At the time of death determined by the police, Jialuo had sufficient alibi, so the police determined it anyway.

It’s not Jialuo’s fault! Don’t worry!”

"But..." Mother Chen stood up eagerly and walked to the window, opened a gap in the curtains, and saw Li Xianglan in red at the door of the community. She suddenly collapsed on the ground in despair, still talking.

He said to himself: "This woman is still here! It's over, it's over, what should I do now..."

Chen Yan was most disgusted with his wife's appearance of breaking down when the slightest thing happened. Looking at her current appearance and thinking that his son also had such a moral character, he became angry and impatient.

Authentic: "This crazy woman likes to just stand there and let her go! I don't believe how much trouble she can make!"

Mother Chen trembled and said, "Didn't Lao Ma bring back a cloth bag today? He also said it was a 'drop of the head'. It wasn't until I asked the sisters just now that I understood how terrifying it was.

Plant a spell! This Li Xianglan... is so vicious! She actually treats Jia Luo... wuwuwu!"

Chen Yan said: "Your friends? They are all old women at the card table. What do they know? They just listen to other people's nonsense!"

Chen Yan's mother's sobs made Chen Yan very upset, but he suddenly realized something, stepped forward, grabbed the other person's shoulders and said sternly: "Are you crazy! Who asked you to tell this matter?"

"me……"

Mother Chen was most afraid of her husband getting angry, so she was trembling and didn't know how to answer.

"Who have you told!"

Chen's mother hesitated and said: "Just...the few sisters who often...play cards with me."

"What did you say? Tell me! How many people did you tell it to?" Chen Yan's eyes almost swelled and turned blood red as he spoke.

Mother Chen, who had lived her whole life without worries about food and clothing, was now frightened. She was very afraid that her husband would talk to her like this. For a woman like her who had entrusted her entire life to her husband, even if the other person spoke to her a little louder,

It will also make her feel uncomfortable all day long.

"Say it quickly!"

Chen Yan couldn't care about anything at the moment, and the hands holding his wife's shoulders became harder and harder, and the other party was even more frightened and cried into tears.

After a long while, Mother Chen said with a tearful tone: "I... I just asked them if they knew... what is 'lowering the head', and about Jia Luo... I didn't dare to say a word."

After learning that his wife did not tell anyone about Jia Luo, Chen Yan was relieved, but looking at the woman with messy hair in front of him, who seemed to have lost her soul, he couldn't help but feel a deep pain in his heart.

I was bored, so I walked directly out of the bedroom and left a message.

"I will sleep in the study tonight, and you will sleep alone."



Chen Jialuo woke up from sleep all night, dreaming of all kinds of messy things. When it was still dark that day, he immediately got up from the bed, opened the curtains a small gap and looked outside, he suddenly felt a sense of fear.

The confusion came over me again, and I even cried when I talked to myself: "You...how long are you going to guard me!"

Outside the gate of the community, Xu Wudi didn't even bother to pretend and parked the police car directly at the door. Li Xianglan, who had been standing all night, was exhausted, so she sat in the car and continued to guard here.

As Chen Yan's vehicle drove out of the community, Murong Shui in the domestic white car in the distance suddenly became energetic, loudly woke up Xu Tiannan who had fallen asleep, and then followed him not far away with a foot of the accelerator.

Behind Chen Yan's vehicle.

This is also Xu Tiannan's task for himself today: to follow Chen Yan and find the opponent's weaknesses.

Half an hour later, two cars drove into the underground garage of a residential complex. It was already business hours, so the underground garage seemed empty.

Murong Shui did not dare to follow too closely, so he had to park his car in a parking space far away, facing the direction of the target vehicle at an oblique angle.

Murong Shui lay on the corner of the car window and whispered: "Boss, look! It's Chen Yan and Ma Bonde! What are these two doing in a place like this?"

Xu Tiannan didn't say anything, but quietly took out his mobile phone and turned on the video recording function in the direction of Chen Yan, while Murong Shui kept chattering.

——"Huh? What do these two people seem to be talking about?"

——"They're leaving! They seem to be heading towards the elevator! Boss, do we want to follow them?"

——"Hey! Talk to me! Do you want to follow me or not?"

——"They are about to press the elevator button! What should I do? What should I do?"

——"Ah! The elevator door is open!"

——"Eh? Why did Chen Yan enter the elevator alone? Why didn't Ma Bond follow?"

——"Yeah! Mabond is back in the car again. What on earth are these two people doing!"

——"You are talking! Could it be that we have been following you for so long in vain?"

——"Oh my God, why don't I go over and see which floor the elevator stops at? But... but that Ma Bond is guarding the car. If we go there like this, we will definitely be seen, right?"

——"Hey, hey, what is this cleaning lady doing? Don't press it! Don't press it! Hey, hey, hey! Isn't this nonsense? The elevator was pressed down by the aunt again!"

Xu Tiannan finally ended the recording on his mobile phone, and Murong Shui protested loudly: "Hey! Everyone has left, why are you ignoring me!"

"Okay, okay! I'm almost annoyed by you!" Xu Tiannan explained helplessly: "I didn't mean to ignore you just now, but I wanted to record which floor Chen Yan took the elevator to, so I couldn't help it.

Distracted.”

After saying that, Xu Tiannan opened the video he had just recorded. When the video was played again, it was filled with the noise of Murong Shui's chirping. In addition, the light in the underground garage was not very good, so the picture was slightly blurry.

But these are not the most important problems. Murong Shui was surprised to find that the most important problem was that there happened to be a large pillar blocking the elevator and Chen Yan, so the video did not capture the screen above the elevator showing the stop floor at all.

"This... the display screen of this elevator is blocked. You took a lonely photo!"

Xu Tiannan did not answer. He just asked Murong Shui to drive to the elevator door of another unit. After he got out of the car and checked, he opened the calculator on his mobile phone and kept calculating something. He quickly replied: "Chen Yan

Went to the 15th floor.”

Murong Shui took a deep breath and said incredulously: "You, you, you...you are not you! How on earth do you know this?"

"Go back to where you were just now, so as not to lose you."

When the two returned to their previous position, Xu Tiannan opened the video on his mobile phone, zoomed in on the screen and pointed at an area and said: "Look here, although the screen of the elevator is blocked, this elevator is designed at a corner, so

A convex reflector used when crossing a car is installed diagonally behind it.”

Murong Shui looked carefully and found that there was a corner mirror standing on the ground in the screen. From their position here, looking towards the corner mirror, they could see the direction of the elevator in the mirror.

But Murong Shui soon discovered the problem again, "That's not right! What the hell did you take with this crappy cell phone? Although there is a display screen in the elevator, who can see clearly this blurry picture?

How many floors has Chen Yan gone to?"

Xu Tiannan said: "What are you thinking about? How can you take a clear picture of the floor from such a distance!"

Murong Shui didn't understand again, "Since you can't take a picture of the elevator display floor, what did you take a picture of?"

Xu Tiannan said: "You can see in the video that after Chen Yan entered the elevator, Butler Ma waited at the door for 25 seconds before leaving. During these 25 seconds, Butler Ma's eyes were fixed on the floor screen at the top of the elevator.

, so I judged that he left only after confirming that the other party had arrived at the reserved floor."

Xu Tiannan opened a web browser on his mobile phone and explained: "I went to another unit to check just now. This elevator is a Mitsubishi brand, so I opened the official website of this brand and found the model number of the elevator.

It was found that the operating speed of this Mitsubishi civil elevator is 2 meters per second."

Looking at Murong Shui's confused look, Xu Tiannan continued to explain: "It is known that the elevator runs at a speed of 2 meters per second, so during the 25 seconds Mabond waited, the elevator ran upwards about 50 meters. According to the 2008 edition of "Architectural Design"

and Fire Protection Code" stipulates that the floor height of underground parking lots is not less than 4.8 meters, the height of residential buildings is not less than 2.8 meters, and the thickness of the cast-in-place concrete layer of the floor slab is not less than 100 mm. So if the basement floor is plus or minus zero, then the calculation

After Chen Yan took the elevator for 50 meters, he subtracted the height of the basement from 50 meters, and then divided it by the total height of the residential floor and the floor. The resulting data just corresponded to the height of the 15th floor. If the midway

When someone gets on the elevator, it takes about 8 seconds to open and close the elevator door. Therefore, the floors Chen Yan may go to are the 4th floor, the 10th floor, and the 15th floor. Since it is working time, there is a possibility that someone will board the elevator midway.

It’s very low, so the floor that Chen Yan most likely goes to is the 15th floor. Do you understand?” (Note)

At this time, Murong Shui seemed a little dull. He unscrewed the bottle of Coke and took two sips. After a long burp, he slowly said: "Would you like to drink Coke?"



In less than 20 minutes, Chen Yan walked out of the elevator alone again. Mabondang also walked out of the car immediately, picked up a hair roller and scratched the other person's legs for a while, and then the two left.

Xu Tiannan said: This Chen Yan, he is indeed looking for a lover."

Although Murong Shui didn't understand the floor analysis just now, she immediately perked up when the other party mentioned clues about the extramarital mistress.

"How do you know? Tell me quickly."

Xu Tiannan explained: "Before Chen Yan went upstairs just now, I took a picture of a small movement, that is, he took off his ring and gave it to Butler Ma for safekeeping."

Murong Shui added: "Well, I understand this. Generally speaking, if a man still has feelings for his wife or feels indebted to his family, you men will take off your wedding ring when an extramarital affair occurs to reduce the risk of cheating.

Guilt.”

Xu Tiannan: "Pay attention to your wording and remove the word 'you' from me."

Murong Shui stuck out his tongue, and Xu Tiannan continued to explain: "And I also noticed a detail, that is, before Chen Yan got on the elevator, he handed his coat to Butler Ma. Similarly, after he got off the elevator, Ma

The butler also sprayed some kind of spray on the other person's body. I guessed it was a deodorant to neutralize the smell of the perfume. When Butler Ma used a hair roller to remove the dog hair on the other person's body, I could tell that Chen Yan

My mistress is a dog owner, we can make good use of this."

Murong Shui puzzled: "How can you be sure that the hair on Chen Yan's body is dog hair? Couldn't it be hair from the sofa? Or hair from his mistress's clothes?"

Xu Tiannan said: "Your observation is not careful. Didn't you notice that Ma Guanjia just cleaned Chen Yan's legs with the hair roller? This means that Chen Yan will not take the initiative to touch things that shed hair, but

His mistress’s dog is very familiar with him.”

While the two were talking, the elevator had reached the 15th floor, but the 15th floor was designed with four households per elevator. Murong Shui was dumbfounded and asked: "This... there are four households here, who knows that Chen Yan

Where does your mistress live?"

Xu Tiannan carefully observed the door of each house for a while, and whispered: "His mistress... lives in 1502, the second house."

"Ah?" Murong Shui asked, "How can you tell?"

Xu Tiannan pointed to the door of room 1501 and whispered: "Look, there is a shoe cabinet at the door of this house. There are many shoes of different sizes in it, which means there are several people living in this house."

After finishing speaking, Xu Tiannan pointed to the door of room 1503 and continued to explain: "The doormats at the door of this house are very dirty, and there is cement dust around them, which means that the owner of this house works in a construction site with poor sanitary environment.

I work somewhere, so that’s also excluded.”

Murong Shui said: "What if Chen Yan's mistress likes to play in the mud at the construction site in her spare time?"

"Be more serious!" Xu Tiannan glared at the other party and pointed to the iron fire box at the door of Room 1504. This fire box was about 1 meter above the ground, but there was a "tip" stuck on the sharp corner of the bottom of the iron box.

Corner Protective Cover".

"You see, this family has affixed a sharp-corner protective cover here, which means that they have a child, about 1 meter tall, about 5 years old. It is also impossible for him to be Chen Yan's mistress. There are four families here. Since we all

Three families have been eliminated, Chen Yan’s mistress must be..."

Murong Shui suddenly said: "Is it possible..."

"Shut up!" Xu Tiannan suddenly interrupted: "I knew you were going to ask, 'Is it possible for Chen Yan to find a mistress with children'!"

Murong Shui said aggrievedly: "No...I didn't want to ask that."

"Then what do you want to ask?"

Murong Shui tiptoed to the door of Room 1502 and pointed to the transparent garbage bag on the ground. Xu Tiannan saw through the garbage bag that there was a small dark red box inside, and the small box clearly said "Exquisite Dog Food"...
