Seeing this situation, Cheng Yu sighed slightly, thinking that in this way, Deng Jingliang would be more likely to survive, but he might also become a murderer, which is not something that should make people happy in any case.
Let's do something.
"So No. 1 and No. 2 carried Bai Xiaowen's body to the beach, while No. 3 and No. 4 stayed behind?" Cheng Yu continued to ask.
The LED light on Old London's body flickered slightly, and it said: "Yes, after No. 1, 2, and 3 carried Miss Bai's body down, No. 1 and No. 2 took it away, while No. 3 stayed in the kitchen.
After preparing a meal for Mr. Xie who didn’t know whether to call it lunch or afternoon tea, No. 3 and No. 4 went to the pavilion in the middle of the manor to clean up. It was just as Deng Jingliang said,
It’s very dirty. I don’t know why there is so much garbage, and there is even some spray paint. It took a lot of effort from Old London to clean up those things.”
"Where was Deng Jingliang when No. 3 and No. 4 left the villa?"
"Mr. Deng should be in his own room. Old London didn't see Mr. Deng leave at that time."
Cheng Yu understood, but in order to confirm everything, he sorted it out and said: "So, Deng Jingliang came back to find you around 3:40, asked you to deal with Bai Xiaowen's body, and asked you to clean the manor. And in
During the more than 20 minutes from 3:40 to 4:07, Deng Jingliang did not leave the villa, right?"
"Mr. Cheng, after Mr. Deng returned to the villa, he went upstairs after explaining to Old London. Then before Old London left, Mr. Deng did not reappear in the lobby on the first floor. But did he leave the villa through other ways at that time?
I don’t know about old London.”
After hearing this, Cheng Yu glanced at Liu Manman, and then asked, "Have the tableware used by Xie Yanwen been returned to you?"
"No, after Old London gave those meals to Mr. Xie, he never saw him again."
"Those dirty tableware are still in Xie Yanwen's room, why don't you go and clean them up?" Cheng Yu made a suggestion with a smile, and quickly added: "Otherwise, Xie Yanwen brought those tableware down during dinner, and you are
Wouldn't it be easy to get busy cooking for us?"
Although Cheng Yu as a guest certainly couldn't ask Old London like the host, the suggestion he made at this moment was reasonable and reasonable. Old London just hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, let Old London knock on the door and see."
Let’s see if Mr. Xie is in the house.”
When Cheng Yu heard this, he glanced at Liu Manman again. Of course Liu Manman understood why Cheng Yu was like this. Wouldn't this just make Old London open the door to Xie Yanwen's room?
So the two of them tacitly made way for Old London, and then quickly followed him to the door of Xie Yanwen's room.
Old London stretched out a mechanical hand and knocked on the door gently but very steadily.
"Mr. Xie, are you in the room? I need to collect the tableware you just used."
Just like before, no one in the room answered.
Old London knocked on the door a few more times and shouted a few times. Seeing that no one was in the room, he said to himself: "It seems that Mr. Xie is really not in the room, so Old London will use the universal key card."
"Yeah."
After saying that, Old London took out a room card from somewhere. After inserting it into the card slot on the door, there was an unlocking sound from the door.
While Old London pressed the door handle, he turned back and said to Cheng Yu and Liu Manman: "Two guests, although you can't control Old London by standing at the door to check, please don't enter without Mr. Xie's consent.
His room."
Cheng Yu originally stretched out his hand to block Liu Manman, who almost wanted to enter Xie Yanwen's room with Old London at the same time. Of course, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will definitely not go in. However, Old London, in view of the past few days,
Two people have died, I
I hope you can do a quick check in the room after entering Xie Yanwen's room. I'm really worried about something happening to Xie Yanwen. After all, he is a homebody. He has hardly been out in the past few days since he has been on the island. He is not in the room now.
It’s really a bit confusing.”
Old London opened the door and said angrily: "Well, what Mr. Cheng said is very reasonable. Old London will help you check the situation in the house."
The door opened, and the living room had a clear view. There were chessboards and chess pieces on the coffee table. The chess game reached the middle game, and the outcome was still undecided. This was really abnormal. If nothing happened to Xie Yanwen, even if he wanted to go out for a walk, he would definitely
I'll talk about it after finishing this game of chess.
In addition, there is a tray on the coffee table with some cutlery, bowls and chopsticks, which seem to be the meals prepared by Old London for Xie Yanwen.
The room was quite tidy, and there were no heavy marks. At least it was certain that no one had fought in this living room.
"Great, the tableware is here, and the food is clean. It seems that Mr. Xie is very satisfied with Old London's craftsmanship. Then, Old London will go to the bedroom to take a look."
Following Old London's words, Cheng Yu and Liu Manman both turned their eyes to the bedroom door.
The door was closed tightly, and the situation in the bedroom could not be seen at all. However, even if the door was open, Cheng Yu and Liu Manman could at most see the curtains of the bedroom from their angle.
Old London still stretched out his hand and knocked on the door. While knocking, he shouted: "Mr. Xie, Old London is here to clean up the dishes, but Mr. Cheng is worried about your safety, so he asked Old London to check your bedroom. If you are in
If you are sleeping, please make a sound."
There is no doubt that there will be no sound coming from the bedroom.
After completing the procedures, Old London pressed the handle of the bedroom door, and the door opened in response.
"There is no one in the bedroom..." Although the bedroom was dark and the curtains were drawn too tightly, Old London "rolled" in without any obstacles and informed Cheng Yu and Liu Manman of the situation inside almost at the same time.
"Old London, look at the restrooms and showers."
"As you wish." The old London roller made a sound again, obviously it was "rolling" towards the bathroom.
Soon, the voice of Old London came out again: "There is no one in the bathroom and shower room."
As the sound of the roller became clearer again from far to near, Old London appeared at the door of the bedroom. After closing the bedroom door, it put the tableware into the tray and "rolled" out of Xie Yanwen's room.
"What's going on in the bedroom? Is it chaotic? Are there any signs of fighting?" Although he could basically determine the situation in the bedroom, Cheng Yu still had to ask clearly at this moment.
While closing the door of Xie Yanwen's room, Old London "rolled" the tray toward the stairs with his hand, and said in a voice: "It shouldn't be, except that the bed is a little messy, the pillows are not in their original places, and the quilts are piled together.
, but everything else looked normal, so Old London felt that nothing special happened in the house.”
Cheng Yu nodded, turned to look at Liu Manman, and said to Old London: "Okay, I'm fine. Shouldn't Old London start preparing dinner again?"
"Yes, we are preparing home-cooked dishes for you tonight. Mr. Cheng, would you like to hear the names of the dishes?"
Cheng Yu said: "No need, I can rest assured of Old London's craftsmanship. I will eat whatever you make."
After leaving Old London, Cheng Yu said to Liu Manman, "You can basically rest assured now, right?"
"I'm indeed relieved, but I'm still a little worried. It's hard to say what happened to the elastic cord you found. Although Xiaoliang may have been the one who took the initiative, that was just because he wanted to take the initiative.
It may not mean that he fell into Xie Yanwen’s trick before he even had a chance to make a move..."
Cheng Yu nodded and said: "Any situation may happen, but at least it is not as bad as you thought at the beginning. Moreover, if it was Xie Yanwen who really killed your cousin, he should have abandoned the body by now.
He's back. He could only have one purpose for going out to dump the body..."
"Put the blame on Guo Ping'an and Su Xi." Liu Manman said.
Cheng Yu waved his hand, shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, his list of guys can include everyone. If Xie Yanwen really attacked Deng Jingliang, he must know that there is no one else in the villa, and everyone is outside.
Then as long as he takes Deng
Jing Liang's body was thrown into the bushes outside, and anyone could be the murderer of Deng Jingliang. Everyone, including himself. Therefore, he had only one purpose for throwing the body, and that was to prevent others from targeting him.
Concentrate on him alone.”
Liu Manman nodded and said: "I subconsciously excluded us, but in fact none of them would exclude us. Moreover, because we are together, we will doubt Guo Ping'an, Su Xi, and Xie Yanwen.
And Guo and Su will doubt us and Xie Yanwen. Even if Su Xi knows that my relationship with Xiaoliang is unusual, she still can't get rid of my suspicions."
"So, he only needs to throw the body in any place, and there is no need to arrange anything deliberately. Therefore, if he just went to dump the body, he should have come back by now. The sooner he comes back, the more likely he is to be discovered by others.
The lower the probability that he has ever left the villa, the lower the probability that he will be suspected of being a murderer. If it were me, I would definitely dump the body nearby and come back quickly. Therefore, I am more and more inclined to think that it was your cousin who killed him.
Him, rather than being killed by him."
"Of course I hope it is as you said. Even if I know that Xiao Liang has become a murderer, there is nothing to be happy about, especially since he still actively wanted to kill Xie Yanwen, but this is better than me being happy if he died in Xie Yanwen's hands.
. But now we are all just guessing, and we still have to see someone before we can rest assured."
"Then let's go and look for it."
After the two of them went downstairs, Liu Manman said, "Should we act separately? You go in front and I go behind?"
Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "No, we can just walk towards the dock together."
"Ah? Why?"
"If one of Deng Jingliang and Xie Yanwen has died, then the living one must have gone to dump the body. Is there no doubt about it?"
Liu Manman nodded blankly, and Cheng Yu continued: "Your cousin knows that Guo Ping'an and Su Xi are behind. In order to prevent Su Xi from being unable to bear it and come back on her own, he will definitely not choose such a route to dump the body. It will be easy to be discovered.
.”
"What about Xie Yanwen? He must not know the locations of Guo Pingan and Su Xi, right?"
"But if he dares to kill someone, then he must know the situation of the people in the villa. As I said just now, he must know for sure that there is no one else in the villa except Deng Jingliang before he dares to kill. So, guess whether he looked
When we go out? He must know exactly what Guo Pingan and
Su Xi and your cousin left together from the back, so after Deng Jingliang comes back, will he choose the back road as the route to dump the body? Especially since he knows better where Old London carried Bai Xiaowen's body.
The seaside behind the villa, isn’t he afraid of meeting Old London who happens to be back?”
Liu Manman understood that although there was a certain chance that he would meet other people if he took the road ahead in the manor, it was at least safer than the road behind.
The two of them left the villa and walked quickly towards the pier.
Although they were walking very fast, both of them were actually paying attention to their surroundings. After all, on this road, a body might appear in the trees on both sides at any time.
While walking, Liu Manman seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly asked: "We walked this way after lunch, and we didn't see that the pavilion was very dirty at that time. Xiao Liang made up lies and told Old London to go there.
I can understand cleaning the manor, but why is the pavilion dirty? And Old London didn't know that Xiao Liang came from the back, but we know that Xiao Liang had no chance to go to the pavilion."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Cheng Yu actually thought about this problem, he smiled and said: "That cousin of yours still has a brain. He returned to the villa at three forty
I came forward, chatted a little with Old London and went upstairs,
The time will not exceed 3:45. I have no way of knowing what his original plan was, but it is obvious that in order to ensure that Old London will delay enough time at the pavilion, at least he cannot come back earlier than the 1st and 2nd.
, he must do something."
Liu Manman was stunned, grabbed Cheng Yu, and said, "You mean to say that the so-called spray painting in the pavilion was done by Xiao Liang?"
Cheng Yu nodded and said: "Otherwise, who else could be there? At that time, we had just left from Guo Ping'an and Su Xi, and the time he had to return to the villa could only support him returning from the sea. There was no such thing on this island.
The person meets the conditions for soiling the pavilion floor. It can’t be Xie Yanwen who soiled it, right?”
Only then did Liu Manman understand and said: "So Xiao Liang went upstairs firstly to cover people's eyes and ears, and secondly because he needed to get paint... It seems to make sense. Xiaoliang often carries some in his bag when he plays outdoors.
Weird bottles and cans, and graffiti spray paint are also normal.”
"In short, Deng Jingliang must have taken some things and jumped off the terrace. During that time, Guo Ping'an and Su Xi were still at the beach. He can confirm this, and it doesn't matter even if he bumped into us, Xie Yanwen
He was still in the villa, so there was no obstacle for him to destroy the pavilion floor. And those paints would undoubtedly help him delay the return of Old London. In this way, he would have enough time to attack Xie Yanwen.
"
"This fool, even if he kills Xie Yanwen, how can he clear himself up?" Liu Manman felt heartbroken. If Deng Jingliang appeared in front of her now, she would probably be able to knock Deng Jingliang down with a flying kick.
Cheng Yu still said calmly: "I said, he doesn't have to defend himself. Even if all appearances point to him, as long as Guo Ping'an and Su Xi can't come up with concrete evidence, it's impossible for Old London to do anything to him. Moreover,
If he has enough confidence in you, then he probably thinks that as long as Xie Yanwen is eliminated, you two siblings will be in an invincible position."
Liu Manman's footsteps stopped slightly, and she quickly understood what Cheng Yu was referring to.
"This is in line with Xiaoliang's always impulsive character. He thought that the three of us could completely deal with Guo Ping'an and Su Xi, and he immediately became unscrupulous."
Cheng Yu shook his head and said: "Don't think that Deng Jingliang is so stupid. He is not unscrupulous, and he doesn't think that we are three against two. Although he should know that I am more on your side, but for him
It seems that it may not matter which side I lean on. Sister Manman, you can't always share the information you have learned with the world in imagination. I asked you not to tell Deng Jingliang about my strength, and I believe that.
You definitely won’t tell me, so in Deng Jingliang’s eyes, I’m just a little more difficult to deal with than Xie Yanwen at most. As for Deng Jingliang, I think maybe you, my cousin, don’t fully understand him.”
Liu Manman was stunned and asked: "What do you mean? Why don't I understand Xiaoliang? Did you discover something?"
"I didn't find anything, but although Deng Jingliang's personality after he came to the island was that of an impulsive straight man, it was just to suit you. You may have your own ideas about what he is like in daily life, but I always feel that,
Anyone who can perform the character of an impulsive straight man as perfectly as he does must either be his true self or have extraordinary acting skills."
"But that kid is acting in his true colors."
Cheng Yu smiled and said nothing, Liu Manman frowned and said again: "Did this kid even lie to me?"
"Didn't you also say that he was greedy for your body and had inappropriate behavior in his youth? If he hadn't been playing the role of an impulsive straight man in front of you for so many years, you would have at least been strong enough a few years ago.
Just destroy him."
"What do you mean a few years ago? Now I am..." Liu Manman suddenly realized something in the middle of her words. She looked at Cheng Yu and said doubtfully: "You mean, now that Xiaoliang and I are fighting, I am not him.
rival?"
Cheng Yu shook his head with a smile and said: "It may not be that he is no match for you, but your advantage is definitely not that big. You should have been able to defeat him a few years ago. Now, his level may still be a little behind you, but his strength
I have a huge advantage over you."
"Is that boy very powerful?"
"It's definitely the level of special training." Cheng Yu asserted.
