This self-destructive introduction made the woman stunned for two seconds.
But she recovered soon after.
Looking at this inexplicable visitor in the middle of the night.
She didn't know what Qianye was here for...
"Won't you invite me to come in and sit down?"
It seems like a question.
But before the woman could answer, Qianye walked into the house on his own.
The interior design of the house is very elegant. Although the layout and area are large, it is also kept clean.
If you don't hire any servants.
That woman still pays more attention to hygiene...
"Is there anything wrong with you coming to see me?"
The woman watched Qianye enter her house.
I couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.
She stood behind Qianye, several steps away from him.
If the visitor is unkind, she will give him a cool blow with the fruit knife she hid behind her before opening the door...
"Tell me, what's your name?"
Qianye's fingers slid over the shoulder of the leather sofa, then he sat down unceremoniously and looked at the woman with interest.
"Did you... misunderstand something? This is my home, and I don't seem to know you."
The woman's pretty brows wrinkled slightly.
He has clearly expressed his dissatisfaction.
Qianye didn't have much emotion about this.
It is inevitable that if you break into a strange woman's house like this, she will be a little careful...
He didn't say much, but quickly took out an ID from his pocket, thrust it in front of the woman's eyes at a speed that was difficult to see clearly, and then took the ID back before the other party could react.
Well, that's his security work pass at the Aden Tavern...
"Madam, I am the police detective responsible for secret investigation in this area. My name is Bernard. Recently, a vicious case was dispatched. I found you based on the information. I hope you can tell the truth and assist me in my work."
The characters are straight and round.
Taking advantage of the woman's failure to see the ID clearly, Qianye quickly said this.
His face was calm, and he didn't look like he was lying at all...
"police?"
The woman was a little skeptical, but Qianye did a good job with this move.
Although I didn't see the certificate clearly.
But the other party took out their IDs, so they weren’t lying to themselves, right?
"Okay... then, do you want some water?"
"No, I don't think I'm very thirsty. It's not early yet, so I have to do business first."
Qianye gave up and rejected the woman's proposal.
"Okay, then what do you want to know?"
The woman seemed to have believed Qianye.
She sat on the sofa opposite the coffee table.
The looming white skin under her nightgown kept flashing in Qianye's field of vision...
"The first question is the same as before, your name."
"Perrin." the woman replied.
"That's a really good name. Okay, can you tell me about your family background?" Qianye seemed to be completely entertained.
He fully plays the plot characters he often sees in movies and TV series.
It's simply lifelike.
If it wasn't a bit of a middle-of-the-road, the effect would probably be better...
"Well, before I say anything, can I ask a question first?"
"You asked."
"Officer Bernard, since you are here to investigate, why did you say you were... a wage earner when you came in?"
Qianye shook his head slightly and replied.
"As I said just now, I am conducting a secret investigation now. There are many people outside the house, so I can't stand outside the door and reveal my true identity, right?"
Finished.
To prove his point.
He also slapped the security work ID card that flashed past Peilan's eyes on the table.
and explained.
"This is the secret identity arranged by me for a secret investigation. I am currently undercover in a tavern."
Peilan glanced at the documents on the table that seemed familiar.
Then I looked outside the house through the window. It was completely dark in the middle of the night, and I couldn't see half of the pedestrians on the street...
Are there too many people with mixed eyesight?
"Okay, Miss Perrin, you should be able to speak now."
Perrin didn't wait to think.
Qianye continued to urge.
The former's thoughts were brought back. Looking at Qianye, she finally chose to believe...
"Then, let's start with myself. I am a writer and currently married. My mother passed away a few years ago, leaving only my father."
"Because his mother's death was a big blow to him, he disappeared after that, and I couldn't find him."
"What does your father do?" Qianye rested his chin on his hand and stared at Peilan with squinted eyes.
"He just did a little business, nothing else."
"oh?"
Qianye looked into Peilan's eyes.
It was as if he was trying to read from the other person's eyes whether she was lying or not.
"Qian, Qianye...there is the smell of corpses here."
Just when Qianye was about to say "Thank you very much for your cooperation" and then wanted to ask more questions, Xie Aishan's voice suddenly sounded next to his ears.
"Ms. Perrin, you don't seem to be telling the truth. This doesn't seem to match what I said in my information."
Chino tapped her thigh with her fingers.
He looked at Perrin with an expression of "I know everything".
I originally thought that the paper-burning incident had become some kind of secret.
But after Xie Aishan’s reminder.
Qianye didn't expect that this guy actually had a corpse hidden in his house?
When Perrin said his name.
Qianye wondered why it was another woman who burned the paper instead of Laiteli...
It looks like this.
There really is some important plot hidden in the other party.
"Officer Bernard, I don't quite understand what you said. I just told the truth. If you say I lied, you have to have some evidence and reasons, right?"
"For example, where did I lie to you?"
"Everything." Qianye's expression did not change at all.
Still calm and collected.
Peilan smiled when he heard this, but he didn't know what the smile contained.
"Officer Bernard, I'm afraid this is a bit exaggerated."
Qianye looked at Peilan's reaction.
I felt vaguely like there was some danger.
The opponent's right hand was always behind his back, probably hiding something behind him.
If you're lucky it might be a knife.
Maybe a gun if you're not lucky...
Maybe the actor who plays Perrin is given the task of not letting others know his secret.
If you keep digging deeper.
Chances are you'll be eating peanuts here...
This is an elimination game.
Most likely the rule is that you cannot violate the tasks posted on the envelope.
For normal people.
Between the two options of choosing between one's own death and the death of others.
Most will lean toward the latter...
So even though they were both victims, Qianye knew that what Peilan got was indeed such a task.
Then the other party won't have any hesitation when killing him...
"Okay, Miss Perrin, it's rude for me to disturb you so late. Please keep the conversation just confidential. I'm leaving. I hope we can meet again in the future."
Qianye stood up and left such incomprehensible words.
Peilan didn't know why Qianye left suddenly.
We obviously had a good conversation.
Let’s get to the formal topic immediately.
She really can't understand the other party's proposal to leave...
Chino picked up his gentleman's hat.
I lightly patted the non-existent dust on it.
He bowed again in a decent manner and made a gesture of turning around and about to walk out.
but.
Just when he turned around, Perrin was relaxing.
Qianye suddenly pounced over without any warning!
Perrin was startled.
He quickly stabbed out the watermelon knife he was holding in his hand!
What a pity.
How could a prepared Qianye be hurt by this thing...
When he saw Perrin's right hand raised, he immediately kicked it with a beautiful cross kick at the moment it was raised.
Peilan was in pain and the fruit knife fell to the ground...
Qianye also quickly controlled the opponent's hands and pressed him on the sofa, making Peilan unable to move.
The whole set of actions flows smoothly.
It's like going through countless rehearsals.
Qianye, who was holding Peilan under him, was also a little surprised.
Although I imagined a hundred possibilities in my mind.
But I didn’t expect that I could do it so beautifully...
"I just gave...a little blessing to your body." Xie Aishan's voice sounded next to Qianye's ears.
Okay, so that's it.
Qianye almost forgot about being possessed by a ghost. The body of a possessed person will also show an extremely strange state.
This is how ghost stories are written.
Then after Xie Ai Shan is attached to him, he can naturally do the same...
"I just don't know if I can defy Newton's gravity and moonwalk on the ceiling..."
"What are you doing!" Peilan, who was pinned down, was furious and struggled to get up.
Of course Qianye won't let her succeed.
Pulling Perrin off the sofa, Qianye moved behind him, took out a cut cigar from his pocket and put it on the back of Perrin's head...
"Don't move, otherwise I will subconsciously pull the trigger."
Peilan, who was unable to turn around, naturally didn't know that Qianye was holding a cigar.
Thinking you are being held at gunpoint.
She had to be obedient and not dare to move.
After all, who would have thought that a police officer would point a cigar at someone?
Even if the touch feels wrong.
But Perrin didn't think much about it at all...
Oh right.
Where did the cigars come from?
This is due to the security role played by Chino.
If you guessed correctly.
The nature of this character is that he doesn't have a lot of money in his pocket, but his face is very important.
So I followed the example of some nobles and spent half a month's salary to buy an expensive cigar and put it in my pocket.
Even if he doesn't smoke.
I also often take out my cigars to show off...
What a coincidence not to go.
While changing into work clothes, Qianye found this cut cigar.
Perhaps at a certain party, the security guard cut the cigar for some reason, so it happened like this.
Of course this is not the point.
Mainly because it can help Qianye's deception, that's enough...
"I don't like to say it a second time...take me to find the body hidden in your house."
Qianye put a cigar against Peilan's head.
Said without politeness.
"How do you know..."
"If there's too much nonsense, I don't mind taking more time to find it myself after I pull the trigger."
Before Perrin could finish speaking.
Qianye interrupted directly.
Regarding this.
Peilan couldn't help but swallowed nervously...
"Okay, Officer Bernard, I'll take you there. Can you put the gun away first? I'm afraid of misfiring."
"What do you think?"
Qianye asked a rhetorical question.
It means there is no need to discuss.
In a tense state, there is no time to think too much. For example, right now, Peilan didn't care at all whether there was a sound of the safety being turned off when Qianye pointed the "gun" at her.
Move your steps slowly.
Under Qianye's threat, Peilan took him deeper into the villa...
What is the saying?
Oh, whenever there is a case of a corpse being hidden in a villa.
Most people would hide the body in the basement of the villa.
Perrin was not surprised either.
After walking around in the corridor of the villa, she took Qianye to the study room, and then carefully pulled the floor tiles in the study room and opened them.
Revealing the downward-facing staircase inside...
Yes.
It's not just hiding in a basement.
This can be said to be hidden in a secret room...
Qianye turned his head slightly, looking away from Peilan's ears and looking towards the pitch-black underground passage.
He pointed at Perrin's cigar and pushed it forward a little harder.
"No lights?"
"No, no...there are no installations inside. We all go down there with candles."
Perrin was in a very unstable mood.
The tone didn't sound like a lie.
Adhering to the rule of giving priority to ladies, Qianye picked up the candle on the study table and handed it to Peilan, hoping that she would take the lead...
In the underground secret room.
The temperature is much lower than outside.
Even though Qianye was wearing two pieces of clothing, his body was chilled by the temperature here.
And Peilan was only wearing a nightgown.
It was so cold that my teeth chattered...
This sound is very unpleasant to hear.
It destroyed Perrin's beautiful, dignified and elegant image in Qian Ye.
"When was this basement built? What was it intended to be used for when it was first built?" Walking in the passage, Qianye asked Peilan in front of him.
"I don't know. This house originally belonged to my father. He told me that it was used to hide from disasters when the war started. Of course, if it had any other uses, I really don't know."
You can see it.
Under Qianye's threat, Peilan had no intention of resisting...
A simple inquiry.
She told everything she knew and what needed to be added.
After all, this role is also played by the victim.
She couldn't fully fit the character's personality.
It's natural to be afraid...
The current situation has shown that the other party should not have the kind of mission of "not letting anyone know their secrets".
Otherwise, even if he is pointed at a gun, Perrin will make temporary resistance.
For example, after entering the dark basement.
She can take action.
After all, Qianye is not familiar with this place, so it is the most advantageous place for her to resist...
But since it hasn’t been done.
Then her mission is probably to "try not to let anyone know her secret"...
"To avoid disaster?"
Qianye murmured.
I'm thinking about whether Peilan's father lied to her, or if he really wanted to do this.
This kind of era.
It’s actually not uncommon to build a basement to escape war or something like that...
Walk through the narrow passage.
The scene before Qianye finally suddenly became clear.
Against the backdrop of the candle flame, a tomb lay quietly in the basement.
There are photos and descriptions on the tombstone.
Qianye could barely see the name written on it with the help of the weak firelight——
