Chapter 1,345 The Disappearance of Deng Jingliang (Part 1)
After looking at Liu Manman, Cheng Yu didn't intend to continue asking. First of all, he and Liu Manman were old acquaintances many years ago - although Cheng Yu himself didn't know about that past - it seemed a bit strange to ask someone about their place of origin at this time.
Tangtu, secondly, the hometown of Cheng Yu, the current Fire Hitachi God, is obviously the hometown of Liu Manman. Cheng Yu remembers that he entered this place.
When I was in a virtual space, there was a document folder in the suitcase I was carrying. Although I didn’t take a closer look, I thought there should be ID cards and other documents in the document folder, so I just needed to put it on after a meal.
Lou took a look at his ID card, and he would most likely know where he was from, and naturally he would also know where Liu Manman was from.
"Hey, yes, why didn't Mr. Deng come for dinner? I left early in the morning, and I don't know if you all had breakfast afterwards..." Guo Ping'an finished eating the piece of fish, as if he had just discovered something was wrong.
asked.
Cheng Yu smiled and thought that his acting skills were really a bit clumsy. Isn't this the question he wanted to ask as soon as he walked in?
Su Xi was obviously also very concerned about this question. If Guo Ping'an didn't ask, she would probably be tempted to ask it soon. So as soon as she heard the question, she immediately raised her head and looked at him with burning eyes.
Liu Manman.
Liu Manman slowly ate a piece of green vegetables on her chopsticks. While chewing, she raised her head and met the eyes of Guo Ping'an and Su Xi. Then she pretended to have a sudden realization and said lazily: "Are you asking me?
Although Xiaoliang and I are cousins,
But to be honest, his behavior yesterday made me feel a little worried, so you all saw my attitude. I haven’t communicated with him since he made his relationship with me public yesterday. Oh, God was also there yesterday.
Yes, I said something to Xiaoliang..."
Su Xi couldn't help but intervene and asked eagerly: "What are you talking about?"
Liu Manman looked at Cheng Yu, meaning to ask if Cheng Yu could do it for him.
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Well, I happened to be there yesterday, also in the restaurant. At first, it was just me and Deng Jingliang. Later, Sister Manman came, and after Sister Manman said that, Deng Jingliang left. At that time, Manman
Sister said to Deng Jingliang, don’t think that if our relationship as sister and brother is made public, you will be less suspicious after my death. Although Deng Jingliang wanted to explain at the time, it was obvious that Sister Manman did not want to hear it, so he could only leave in anger."
Hearing what Cheng Yu said, Liu Manman glanced at him in surprise, because the words were almost exactly the same, but they were not said at that moment.
Of course, Cheng Yu also remembered the occasion when Liu Manman said this sentence. He just felt that changing it to this time and scene would be more appropriate, so he took the initiative to change the time and place where this sentence occurred.
But Liu Manman is also a very smart person, and she quickly understood why Cheng Yu did what he did.
She said those words to Deng Jingliang after Deng Jingliang pretended to make a mistake and accidentally broke their relationship. At that time, Guo Ping'an and Su Xi had just left. It was just after breakfast.
The scene and time that Cheng Yu arranged for these remarks were changed. The location was changed to still in the restaurant, and the time was changed to lunch.
The reason for changing the time was that Cheng Yu wanted to give Liu Manman a buffer time, instead of letting her cousin, who had just been treated by her cousin, flip the table without even thinking carefully, and the breakfast was over.
Although lunch time is less than three hours, a lot of things can actually happen in these three hours. This can make better remarks for Liu Manman's words.
Moreover, Guo Pingan and Su Xi were still at the beach at that time, waiting for Old London to deliver food to them, so it seemed that Liu Manman deliberately did not say these words in front of them.
Although Guo Pingan and Su Xi had theoretically left at that time after breakfast, as the parties involved at that time, if they did not want Guo Pingan and Su Xi to see the internal strife between their siblings, they must be wary of whether these two people would suddenly
She turned back. Only during lunch time, when she was sure that the two of them were waiting for their meal at the beach, could she say these words with complete confidence.
The change of location is just because the time has changed, so I can only choose to be in the restaurant.
"So what Mr. Deng said during breakfast caused a rift between you two siblings?" Su Xi was obviously a little worried. After all, if Deng Jingliang was dead now, she would have to form an alliance with Liu Manman, no matter what
Regardless of her mentality, she must know more about Liu Manman.
Liu Manman looked at Su Xi and understood the reason for her eagerness. She shook her head, sighed, and said slightly frustrated: "Although it was a bit unexpected at the time, it didn't make me say such things. To be honest,
At that time, I didn't think about it at all. I was just confused about Xiaoliang's behavior.
, and I’m not sure whether he did it intentionally or if he really let it slip. But then I planned to go out, and Xiaoliang kept pestering me. When the great god appeared, he immediately chose to give up and let me go out alone. After that, I
Wandering around the island, I always feel like someone is following me sneakily..."
"Ah? Is it Deng Jingliang?" Cheng Yu knew that Liu Manman should have understood his intentions. Although these words should be true, they were obviously done with the benefit of hindsight. But Cheng Yu still didn't expect that Deng Jingliang was there.
During this time, he actually went out and tried to keep up with Liu Manman.
Of course, Cheng Yu couldn't be sure whether this was true or false, so he subconsciously blurted out the question.
Liu Manman sighed again, her expression even more gloomy, and she continued: "I'm not sure. At that time, I even suspected that the shadow that always made me feel chills down my spine would be Xie Yanwen. But when I returned at noon
Villa, see in the restaurant
Xiao Liang's state is definitely not like that of someone who stayed in the villa all morning as he said. I can't convince myself to continue to maintain enough trust with Xiao Liang. At that time, Xiao Liang was still nagging.
Forcefully explain to me his behavior at breakfast
, I don’t know what you would think when faced with such a situation, but I suddenly realized that my dear cousin might have gone crazy. That’s why I warned him that even if I die, he will not be able to follow me.
We are cousins, so let’s put aside any suspicion.
Doubtful. The master happened to be there at that time, and I deliberately said these words in front of the master. In fact, I wish you were there at the time, but later I heard the master said that you stayed at the beach to guard the submarine, and planned to let Old London go.
I won’t come back to eat after delivering food.”
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This explanation is reasonable and reasonable. Su Xi doesn't know how to continue asking.
Guo Ping'an scratched his head, obviously a little naive, and said: "I'm sorry, Miss Manman, I just asked casually. I didn't expect that there are so many twists and turns between you and Mr. Deng. But that is to say, Manman
Miss, you don’t know why Mr. Deng hasn’t come down for lunch yet, so that’s a bit worrying.”
After saying that, Guo Ping'an looked around at the three people in the restaurant, his eyes resting on each of them.
There is no doubt that he has also thought of the worst possibility, and has judged that the current situation on the island means that these two women will inevitably get together.
Cheng Yu could even feel the relief in Guo Ping'an's heart. After all, as long as he didn't let down his guard, these two women should not pose any threat to him in his opinion.
Su Xi, on the other hand, fixed her eyes on Liu Manman. She had made up her mind at this moment. After all, in order to survive, she must form an alliance with Liu Manman.
However, Liu Manman didn't seem to have such an idea. She raised her head and looked at Su Xi, but she didn't respond to her enthusiastic inquiry. Instead, she looked at Guo Pingan, responded to his words, and said, "I didn't."
Eat breakfast, because I didn’t sleep well last night, and even if the doors and windows are closed, it always makes people feel uneasy. So, I don’t know if Xiaoliang has eaten breakfast, and why he hasn’t shown up yet.”
Cheng Yu said: "I asked Old London. Only Brother Guo and Ms. Su had breakfast. When I came down, it was already past breakfast time. But everyone also knows that I have some privileges in this regard, so I still
At that time, I entered the restaurant and had something to eat. Sister Manman did not come down to have breakfast, and neither did Deng Jingliang. To be honest, I was a little worried about them at the time, but then I thought about it, if we were alone
Didn't show up, that was the most worrying thing. On the contrary, neither of them showed up, so there seemed to be no need to worry so much. And I had some other things that I wanted to go out to verify, although in the end I didn't verify what I wanted.
I wanted the result, but I didn’t delve into it at the time and went straight out the door. I thought there would be a resolution at lunch time. Now that Brother Guo has said this, indeed, I suspect that something has happened to Deng Jingliang.”
After saying that, Cheng Yu turned his face and gave Liu Manman a deep look. It gave the other two people the feeling that Cheng Yu was doubting Liu Manman, but Liu Manman was eating and drinking with an indifferent expression.
There was the first period of silence after the four people gathered in the restaurant.
After a while, Su Xi took a sip of beer, wiped her mouth and said, "It's useless to worry now. Let's eat quickly. After eating, go up and knock on the door to see what's going on."
Things have come to this, and indeed they can only be so.
So the four of them didn't say anything more, and just immersed themselves in eating. Fifteen minutes later, the four of them put down their tableware and looked at each other, as if to tell the others that they were done eating.
The four of them made a tacit agreement and left the table. After leaving the restaurant, the four of them were obviously hesitant about the order, and collectively stopped at the door of the restaurant.
Cheng Yu quickly realized that no one knew who should stand first. He thought about it and said, "Sister Manman, after all, he is your cousin, why not be first?"
Liu Manman did not hesitate, she just didn't want to stand out too much. Now that Cheng Yu had spoken, she nodded and walked towards the stairs.
Cheng Yu followed closely behind. Although he estimated that Deng Jingliang was dead, he still did not get a definite answer from Liu Manman. Therefore, he felt that standing behind Liu Manman could give her the most timely help.
After taking two steps, Cheng Yu looked back. Sure enough, Su Xi would never dare to let Guo Ping'an stand behind her. She deliberately stayed and placed herself at the end of the four-person queue.
Deng Jingliang was at the far west end, just around the corner after going up the stairs. Liu Manman raised her hand and knocked on Deng Jingliang's door.
"Xiao Liang, Xiao Liang, are you in the house?"
I knocked on the door three times and shouted three times, but there was no answer.
At this moment, among the four people in the corridor, only one could be sure of what was going on in the room.
This person undoubtedly knew why Deng Jingliang did not answer.
"There seems to be no one..." Liu Manman turned around and said to the three of them.
Cheng Yu secretly laughed, thinking that he still had to do the whole thing when acting, so he walked towards the stairs and shouted down: "Old London, old London..."
Old London appeared immediately, and Cheng Yu asked: "Has Deng Jingliang left the villa today? Is he still in the villa now?"
"Old London did not see Mr. Deng leave from the door. Theoretically, he should be staying in his room at this moment."
Although what Old London said seemed to be very rigorous, Cheng Yu still heard the underlying meaning.
The first half of the sentence was really strict. It said that Deng Jingliang did not leave from the door. Normally, it would be enough to answer Cheng Yu's question here. But Old London just added half a sentence, saying that Deng Jingliang should stay in the room.
This sentence seems to be just a supplement to the previous sentence, but in fact, Old London is telling Cheng Yu that Deng Jingliang’s
The door has never been opened today. Only in this way, Deng Jingliang should theoretically stay in the room. Otherwise, just by not going out, there can still be other places in the villa that can accommodate Deng Jingliang. But if Deng Jingliang's door
It had never been opened, which could only mean that he was either in the house or that he had gone out on the terrace.
"Sister Manman, how about you use your identity as Deng Jingliang's cousin to ask Old London to open the door? If the three of us ask it to open the door, it will definitely not agree." Cheng Yu shrugged his shoulders and said to Liu Manman.
Guo Ping'an and Su Xi also set their sights on Liu Manman. It seemed that they had the same intention. They both hoped that Liu Manman would let Old London open the door to Deng Jingliang's room.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Liu Manman nodded, and showed a slight look of being under pressure. She walked to Cheng Yu's side and leaned out to face the downstairs.
Said: "Old London, can you confirm the cousin relationship between Deng Jingliang and I?"
"Yes, regarding the relationship between the two cousins, the host has already informed Old London before the distinguished guests arrived at Qindao. Originally, Old London could not reveal this, but since the two of you have released this information on your own,
Old London no longer has to hide the information from you two."
"That's good. Xiaoliang hasn't left the house to eat today, and no one answered the door when we knocked. As his cousin, I'm very worried about his safety. Especially considering that two people have died on the island, and one more is alive and dead.
Uncertain situation. Old London, can you help me open the door of Xiaoliang's room so that we can confirm his safety?"
There is no doubt that a normal butler would agree to such a request, so Old London, the robot butler, naturally agreed.
"Since it is Miss Liu Manman's request, Old London will naturally comply. Please wait a moment."
After saying that, Old London "rolled" towards the stairs. After a while, everyone saw Old London "walking" up the handrail of the stairs.
A small door popped up on his chest without any warning. Old London reached out and touched inside and took out a room key card.
Cheng Yu was really curious. When he saw that the door on Old London's chest was closed again, there was no trace of a joint on his chest. Is this a sci-fi virtual space or a fantasy virtual space? How could it be so seamless?
What about storage space?
Old London inserted the universal key card in his hand into the card slot on the door. Following the creaking sound of metal unlocking, Liu Manman pressed the door handle first, and the door opened in response.
Pushing open the door, Cheng Yu, although he was already at the end, could still see the situation inside the house from the space above Su Xi's shoulder.
There was no one in the house.
The living room is basically tidy, there are no messy things on the coffee table, and the pillows on the sofa stay where they should.
Although the details of the door lock need to be carefully observed, from the current point of view, the door on the terrace is also closed because the curtains are tightly drawn, but there is no wind to lift the curtains. Although the glass door of the terrace is not visible, the
But you can use this to confirm that the door is closed.
Liu Manman rushed into the house in two steps, pretending to be anxious and shouted: "Xiao Liang, Xiao Liang..." The figure disappeared directly at the door of the bedroom and living room, especially silky, without any pause, which shows that the bedroom
The door should be unlocked.
Seeing that Old London had no objection, the three of them followed into Deng Jingliang's room. Anyway, even if there was a murder scene, at least there were no obvious traces in the living room.
The three of them stood at the door of the bedroom together. Although the curtains in the bedroom were tightly closed and the lights were not turned on, the room was as dark as night, but the three of them could clearly see that the same was true in the bedroom.
There is no human appearance.
At least, this is not what a murder scene should look like.
Cheng Yu pushed Guo Pingan, who was blocking half of the door, and stretched out his hand to touch the wall of the bedroom. The light was turned on, and the room was filled with light.
Liu Manman stood in the room. The lights suddenly turned on. She seemed to be in a trance for a moment, then she quickly walked towards the floor-to-ceiling windows and opened the curtains.
After the electric curtain is pulled, the motor immediately starts working and the entire curtain is unfolded.
There is no doubt that if it is not very clear under the light, then under the sun, the entire bedroom can be seen at a glance, but there is no one there, and there is no trace of a murder scene.
"Sister Manman, please go and see the bathroom."
Standing outside the door, Cheng Yu spoke out, and at the same time, he retreated towards the terrace door.
