After returning to Binhai, Director Ding also learned about the entire case from several people. After praising a few people, he asked them to go back and rest.
"The weather is getting cooler and cooler, and I finally don't need to turn on the air conditioner."
Chen Bai and Song Anchun were lying on the deck chairs on the balcony, enjoying the rare leisure.
"By the way, when I entered the door just now, I seemed to see some express delivery in the fire hydrant at the door. I'm going to see if there are any of my things."
After a while, Song Anchun came in, holding not only two paper boxes but also an envelope in his hand.
"Why do I have a letter here?"
"Letter? Who gave it to you?"
Chen Bai was also a little curious. How long had it been since then and someone still wrote a letter?
"I don't know either, but the address above is the kindergarten I went to when I was a child."
After Song Anchun finished speaking, he opened the letter and Chen Bai took the opportunity to come over and read it.
"Children of Binhai 11th Infantry School, we haven't seen each other for a long time. How are you? I have opened a B&B in Zhongsha Town. It is still in the trial operation stage. If you have time, you are welcome to come and play.
."
"Who is this person?"
Chen Bai was a little curious because the letter was not signed, but when Song Anchun opened the back of the letter, she suddenly laughed.
"I know, I know who sent this."
After Song Anchun finished speaking, he ran into the house, rummaged around and took out a photo album.
"Look, husband, this is me. This is a photo taken when we graduated from kindergarten, and the person who sent me the letter is her."
After Song Anchun finished speaking, he pointed to a girl with a baby face and a chubby face in the photo.
"So, this is the girl who invited you?"
"Yes, she was my first friend in kindergarten. We have always had a good relationship, but she left Binhai after graduating from kindergarten. At that time, we didn't even think about leaving a phone number or anything. After so many years, I
I really want to know what she has become now."
Chen Bai looked at the word Mandy at the back of the letter and asked with some confusion.
"Mandy? Isn't this a strange name?"
"Mandy is of mixed Chinese and English descent. She is half foreign, so of course her name is somewhat Westernized."
Chen Bai looked at Song Anchun's excitement and asked with some confusion.
"That's what it says, but how does this Mandy know that you live here? Your family hasn't moved before, right? If Mandy wants to send a letter, it should be sent to your parents' house?"
After Chen Bai finished speaking, Song Anchun was also a little confused, but it was quickly diluted by the joy of meeting old friends again.
"Okay, maybe Mandy asked someone else! The time of her invitation is this Saturday, you go with me!"
"Um!"
In the blink of an eye, it’s Friday night. Zhongsha Town is a small island not very far from the coast, so we just need to set off early on Saturday 61st.
"By the way, are there any men going this time? Is there anyone who liked you before?"
Song Anchun turned around and asked with a smile when he saw Chen Bai.
"What are you doing? You look like you are jealous? We are a kindergarten class reunion, why are you so nervous?"
Song Anchun saw Chen Bai pouting, so he had to stand up and sit on Chen Bai.
"Don't worry, there was no boy who liked me in the kindergarten at that time. Besides, we are about to get married now. Why are you worried?"
Chen Bai didn't say anything because he was joking.
"Honey, what on earth is this Zhongsha Town?"
"Zhongsha Town is a small island located in the southwest of Binhai. It was a desert island before it was developed. However, later the country developed this desert island and it became a tourist attraction. Yours
It’s really cool that a friend opened a B&B here. I think this place will become even more prosperous than it is now in no more than a year.”
After Chen Bai finished speaking, Song Anchun also nodded and said.
"Yes! It's great to have my own small business in such a beautiful place and be carefree every day."
"Really? I think this place is nothing. Although this place looks good, it still lacks a bit of prosperity. You will definitely get tired of seeing the scenery after a long time, but if this place is more prosperous, there will definitely be a lot more
It’s not the same thing.”
Chen Bai and Song Anchun turned around and saw a man in a suit and leather shoes standing behind them.
"Moreover, this is just a small island. I came here purely to see if this place has commercial value. But if the people who come here are only attracted by the scenery, it would be a bit boring."
After the man finished speaking, he deliberately walked to Song Anchun, took out a business card from his arms and said.
"Hello, beauty, I am the general manager of Jinku Entertainment. Your image is very in line with our beauty public relations requirements. If possible, you may consider it."
Song Anchun and Chen Bai looked at each other and smiled, then took the business card and said.
"I'm so sorry, I don't have a business card so I can only show you this."
With that said, Song Anchun took out his ID directly.
"I remember that Binhai also has Jinku Entertainment. Your stores are very large. I remember there are 56 stores in Binhai alone? But I hope you can do your business properly and don't do anything illegal or criminal!
"
After Chen Bai finished speaking, he took Song Anchun and left directly.
"By the way, where is your friend's B&B?"
"Let me take a look. It says in the letter that her B&B is on the easternmost side of the island, called Wutong Inn."
Chen Bai nodded and searched on his mobile phone and found that they were only 1.8 kilometers away from the inn.
"Then let's walk there! We can also take a look at the scenery along the way."
After that, the two of them wandered on the road in Zhongsha Town. Although it was just a small island, the four-week scenery and various shops on the street were still very attractive.
"I really hope that this place will develop better and better. There are so many people here now. Will there be more and more people in this place in the future?"
"In fact, it is not a good thing for a place to be too prosperous. Due to the development of the Internet in recent years, people have become aware of many places they have never seen before. However, this has also made some tourism that was originally niche
The scenic spots have become crowded, but it is precisely because of this that many places with beautiful scenery have been destroyed. Especially when a place has things like stinky tofu and crispy pork belly, the place will immediately change its taste.
."
Song Anchun looked at where Chen Bai was pointing and shook her head. Of course she knew this was not a good thing, but now this situation has become a trend. Even if you don't want to, there is nothing you can do.
"Song Anchun, are you sure this is a B&B run by your friend?"
Chen Bai looked at the castle-like building in front of him and asked with some confusion.
"I....."
Song Anchun was also a little hesitant, but when she saw the sign of Wutong Inn in front of her, she was very sure that this was the place.
"Koharu!"
There was a shout at the door, and then a tall and sexy beauty rushed out and hugged Song Anchun directly.
"Xiaochun, I really miss you."
"Mandy, I miss you too."
After the two chatted for a while, Mandy saw Chen Bai next to Song Anchun.
"What? You have a boyfriend? Hello, my name is Liang Mandi, I am Xiaochun's kindergarten classmate."
"Chen Bai!"
Mandy looked at Chen Bai and then at Song Anchun beside her.
"Let's go! Go in first!"
Under the leadership of Mandy, Chen Bai and Song Anchun walked into the inn.
"Mandy, why does your inn have to be like this?"
Song Anchun was a little puzzled, but at this time Mandy smiled and said.
"You don't know this, right? In fact, I bought this place. It is said that this castle was left here by a foreign couple. After the couple returned to China, the castle has been abandoned. After I bought this place,
Carry out renovation. Think about it, does the island plus the castle give people a mysterious feeling? "
"right......"
Song Anchun didn't say anything, after all, this aesthetic was a bit too strange.
"Why can I only think of "The Blue Castle Murders"!"
Of course, the two women did not hear what Chen Bai said.
"By the way, besides me, who else did you invite?"
"Don't worry, I've invited everyone I can. In fact, Xiaochun, we haven't seen each other for many years."
After settling in the room, the two women started chatting. Chen Bai went to the door to smoke because he was bored.
"Hello, is this Wutong Inn?"
Chen Bai was lowering his head to smoke when he suddenly heard a gentle female voice at the door.
"Yes, please come in!"
Chen Bai pointed behind him. After the girl came in, she looked at Chen Bai and asked with some confusion.
"you are...."
"I'm just a guest, the boss is inside!"
After Chen Bai finished speaking, the two girls went in first.
"why you?"
As soon as Chen Bo lowered his head, he saw a man standing at the door. He was the man who had just given Song Anchun his business card at the airport.
"Why can't it be me?"
"You came to the party too? Why didn't I remember that you and I went to the same kindergarten at that time?"
Chen Bai ignored the man, but pointed directly inside and said.
"Everyone is inside, you just go in."
Chen Bai also went in after putting out his cigarette. The man hesitated and followed Chen Bai in.
"Everyone, although we were classmates before, we haven't seen each other for a long time after all. Let's introduce ourselves first!"
After Mandy finished speaking, she stood up and handed out the business card 11 in her hand.
"I am Mandy, the girl with yellow hair and big eyes when I was a child. I am now the owner of this B&B. I hope you can come and play with me if you have time in the future."
After Mandy finished speaking, a girl wearing glasses stood up and said.
"My name is An Ning. I have been wearing glasses since I was in kindergarten. Now I am a designer."
After An Ning finished speaking, the man who had just spoken to Song Anchun stood up and said.
"My name is Wang Xiao, and I am the general manager of Jinku Entertainment. We are a big brand. If you want to come and play, you can come to me."
"My name is Wu Hao, and I am a film and television editor."
After everyone had finished their introductions, Song Anchun stood up and said.
"My name is Song Anchun, and I am currently a forensic doctor in the Binhai City Criminal Investigation Detachment."
"Um?"
Chen Bai was a little confused, because after Song Anchun said that he was a forensic doctor, several people looked a little shocked.
"Xiaochun, why did you become a policeman?"
"Why can't I be a police officer?"
Song Anchun was a little curious, but he was quickly put off by a few people.
"Xiaochun, let me introduce your boyfriend to everyone!"
After Mandy finished speaking, Song Anchun quickly pulled Chen Bai up and said with a smile.
"This is my boyfriend Chen Bai. He is a criminal psychology instructor at Binhai Public Security University."
Afterwards, everyone had a meal together, but for some reason Chen Bai always felt that some of them looked strange.
"Did you feel that these people were weird during dinner today?"
After returning to the room, Chen Bai asked his doubts.
"You are just overthinking. We are all people with serious jobs, how can we look weird? This is just your psychological effect."
Song Anchun didn't care. After all, they hadn't seen each other for so many years, and they were all friends in kindergarten. So, it was normal for things to be a little different from now.
"Okay! Maybe I'm too worried!"
Late at night, Mandy sat up from the bed, took out the cigarette case next to her and lit a cigarette.
"I've said it before, we can't find this kind of thing ourselves. Why do we have to invite so many people?"
Wang Xiao was a little angry, but at this moment Mandy beside him rolled her eyes at Wang Xiao and said.
"Can you please lower your voice? Do you want to let everyone know that there is a treasure here?"
Mandy was a little angry, but Wang Xiao stopped talking when he saw Mandy was angry.
"You have to know that there are treasures in this castle only after I worked as a maid here for three years. I will never let this castle fall into the hands of others."
"Don't forget, we spent money to buy this castle together."
Mandy looked at Wang Xiao and smiled, put out the cigarette and lay directly on Wang Xiao's lap.
"Don't worry, I know all this. Of course I will not forget that you paid for this castle with me. But as for why I called them over, that's what I thought. If we buy this castle, there won't be much
If we make a fortune over a long period of time, people will definitely be suspicious of us. But if we transform this place into a B&B, no one will doubt us."
Wang Xiao was a little dismissive of Mandy's explanation, but after all, Mandy said so, so Wang Xiao didn't say anything.
"ah!"
On the morning of the second day, everyone was awakened by a scream. An Ning and others rubbed their eyes, not knowing what happened.
"What's going on? What happened?"
Everyone was a little confused, but at this time Chen Bai and Song Anchun were shocked by the scene in front of them, because in the middle of the hall, Wang Xiao was kneeling naked on the dining table, his hands were fixed behind his back by a rope, and the rope extended out to hold his hands.
The feet are also fixed.
"Don't move!"
Chen Bai and Song Anchun immediately began to control the scene. Chen Bai stepped forward to check and found that the deceased seemed to have been strangled to death. There was a deep strangulation mark on the deceased's neck, and there was also a motor that had been used on the deceased.
trace.
"What on earth is going on? How could something like this happen?"
Mandy was a little surprised that something like this happened to her B&B before it was officially opened. In this case, she would not be able to open her business.
"Now everyone go back to the room and don't move. None of you can leave here until the police come!"
"That is why ah?"
An Ning was a little scared, but before Chen Bai could speak, Song Anchun spoke.
"Someone is dead now. Everyone here may be the murderer. And there are no cameras here, so no one knows what happened last night. All of you here may be the murderer."
Everyone was a little confused, but they didn't say anything at this time.
"What do we do now?"
"Call the police first!"
In about fifteen minutes, two police cars arrived.
"Consultant Chen, Forensic Doctor Song, why are you here?"
"you are....."
In front of him was a man in his thirties, but Chen Bai was a little confused when he looked at the man, because he didn't seem to recognize this person in his memory.
"Consultant Chen, my name is Zhang Tao, I am the policeman on duty in Zhongsha Town. We are a small place so we don't have a criminal police team, so..."
Seeing Zhang Tao's embarrassment, Chen Bai was also a little helpless. Because Zhongsha Town is a small place, there are only a few police officers to maintain normal order.
"Where is the nearest police station from here?"
"Then it can only be Zhongbei, which is the closest to here, but even from Zhongbei it takes about 3 hours to get here."
Chen Bai nodded. Although it was a bit troublesome, he could only contact the police station in Zhongbei first.
"Why is it like this again?"
Song Anchun was a little helpless, because this was not the first time that the two of them came across a case while hanging out.
"I actually don't want to do this, but what can we do? And the biggest problem now is that this case is likely to involve more than just one deceased person."
"What did you say?"
Song Anchun's voice attracted the attention of many people, and Chen Bai quickly pulled Song Anchun aside.
"Don't be so nervous. There is probably a murderer among these people. The last thing we can do now is to alert the enemy."
"But what do you mean when you say there's more than one dead person in this case?"
Song Anchun was a little nervous, Chen Bai pointed to the body in the living room and whispered.
"The murderer tied the hands of the deceased and placed him in a kneeling position on the table. This itself has the meaning of repentance. Moreover, judging from the fact that the murderer prepared the electric shock device and rope, the murderer must not be as tall as the deceased. He was not sure about the uniform.
The deceased, that’s why he prepared these things. This means one thing, the deceased must have come here to seek revenge.”
"That....."
Song Anchun didn't speak, but looked in Mandy's direction.
"Yes, Mandy is indeed the most suspect, because all of us were called by Mandy, but we cannot use this simple method to determine that Mandy is the murderer."
