Chapter 39 Chapter Thirty-Eighth The Fifth Victim

Ye Wan poked her head out from the entrance of the balcony and turned her face away. As soon as she turned her face away, she was really startled by the scene in front of her.About 1.5 meters in front of the entrance, there was a woman lying down, her head was facing the entrance, Ye Wan saw half of an ugly face, it was Wu Meilan's face.The corpse was next to the iron railing of the stairs, and there was a lot of blood next to the head, and it was this blood that flowed down. Seeing Ye Wan come up, Gao Pingying, who checked the corpse, told her the result of the check.The deceased was facing the secret entrance of the balcony, and leaned against the balcony stairs. He had been dead for several hours because the blood had coagulated.It takes more than three or four hours for blood to clot.At six o'clock in the morning, Ye Wan could still feel the blood dripping down from it. Based on this calculation, the time of death should be between two and three o'clock in the morning.The deceased died of brain bleeding after being smashed by someone, and no murder weapon was found around the body.About four meters in front of the secret entrance of the balcony, there were also some bloodstains, which should also be the blood of the deceased.

After checking the corpse, they were in the mood to check other things on the balcony.The three groups of wicker chairs that were originally arranged in an orderly manner are now one by one, some piled up, and some fell to the ground, and the scene is a bit chaotic.On one of the rattan chairs that was still standing, a bound person was sitting, that was Zhang Ma.Her mouth was taped, her feet were together, her ankles were tied with rope, and her hands were tied behind her back. After Gao Pingying tore off the tape from her mouth, Zhang Ma weakly told her misfortune.At around two o'clock in the morning, she secretly saw Wu Meilan taking Shen Dan to the balcony. She didn't know what they were doing, so she followed them, but she was knocked unconscious. When she woke up, she found herself tied up, and Wu Meilan died in a pool of blood.Because of the tape on her mouth, she had no choice but to ask for help.

After listening to Zhang's mother's story in silence, Gao Pingying didn't make any statement, neither comforted the victim, nor asked related questions, nor planned to untie her. It's hard to guess his real thoughts.Ye Wan looked at Zhang Ma, she was asking to be untied, her pained expression couldn't tell the truth from the fake.It is entirely possible for Wu Meilan and Shen Dan to work together to subdue her. After all, the fact is that she was tied up on the balcony. Once Wu Meilan died, she would not be able to ask about Wu Senyan, the clues would be cut off, and it would be difficult to find out the underground secrets.Ye Wan felt a little regretful that she died at such an inappropriate time.Looking at Gao Pingying, he frowned and stared at the corpse with doubts on his face. In his eyes, this must be another murder.

In the early morning, only Zhang Ma, Wu Meilan and Shen Dan were on the balcony.After Zhang Ma was knocked unconscious and tied up, the remaining two were Wu Meilan and Shen Dan.There was a murder between mother and daughter because the daughter was a madman who, when provoked, would attack the mother.Not to mention lunatics killing their mothers, some normal people will kill each other frantically for their own interests. Without Gao Pingying's permission, Ye Wan didn't dare to make decisions without authorization, and could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, pretending that she didn't hear Zhang Ma's request.Gao Pingying had already turned around to check the items on the balcony floor, and Ye Wan followed his footsteps.In the corner of the glass wall, on the floor about three meters away from the secret entrance of the balcony, there were a few things thrown.One is a red satin robe, which is the dress worn by the female ghost who appeared on the balcony; the other is an artificial skeleton, all of which are connected by wires, with wires hanging from the top of the head, mouth and hands, and the wires are connected with wooden bars. Connected, the driving line can drive the mouth and hands of the skeleton, just like ghost puppet toys in Halloween; there is also a rope ladder, which should be a tool that the closed person intends to use to leave the house after completing the plan.There are also several items in a set, which are the tools needed for electric welding, such as masks, welding rods, gloves and other items, but no electric welding machine was seen.

Gao Pingying opened the first glass window of this glass wall, and the window below this window corresponds to the window of Ye Caixia's room.There is also a thick long rope on the wooden bar connecting the skeleton with the hanging wire, which is about seven meters long.He lowered the skeleton from the window so that he could reach the window on the third floor, and that's how the skeleton in front of Ye Caixia's window appeared.Gao Pingying went to the TV again, turned on the DVD player next to him and watched it, it was a horror movie.He put the disc in and played it, and what came out was the sound of the female ghost crying.

The items on the balcony clearly explained the incident of the closed house, the incident of the female ghost on the balcony, and the incident of Shen Huawen's skeleton. The people who closed the house were Yu Jian and Shen Dan, and the female ghost in red who appeared on the balcony was Shen Dan. The skeleton in front of Ye Caixia's door and window is this puppet skeleton.The operator of the skeleton was Yu Jian. He first showed up at Ye Caixia's door with the skeleton, then quickly retreated to the secret room on the fourth floor, then went from the balcony entrance to the balcony, and lowered the skeleton from the balcony window to Ye Caixia's window.

After checking the glass wall, Gao Pingying went to the glass wall facing the gate, opened a window and looked down, his face changed.Ye Wan walked over and looked down. On the concrete floor below, there was a broken electric welding machine.Next to it was a very hungry wolfhound, venting its anger on the thick wires from the electric welding machine. "What are you doubting?" Ye Wan asked Gao Pingying, who was staring at the things below and thinking. "It's nothing." Gao Pingying hid his own thoughts, looked at her, and said with a bit of sarcasm, "I just found that this escape route has no practical significance for the two of us."

Ye Wan agrees with this irony.Gao Pingying is now just a one-armed man. It is difficult to climb downstairs with only one right hand, and it is even more difficult to deal with wolfhounds.And she, not to mention that she didn't have the strength to climb down, even if she had the strength, she didn't have the courage to climb down. Seeing that wolfhound, her bones were already weak.Although the house is divided into the front and the back, the two are connected, and the abandoned field is also the territory of the wolf dog.Therefore, getting this escape route is tantamount to not having it.

"You can let Dr. He go down!" Ye Wan suddenly thought that there is another healthy man who is still familiar with the wolf dog. Gao Pingying shook his head, he didn't accept this suggestion, no matter how Ye Wan asked the reason, he didn't say why, anyway, he didn't agree with He Zong to go on.He put forward his own suggestion. Since the distress cloth has been hung on the third floor, it is light rain now, which will not have much impact on the words on the cloth. As long as someone walks by on the road, they will find the distress signal.And the two of them can also stay on the balcony, and when they find someone paying attention to the distress cloth, they can call at them.The method is somewhat passive, but it is still a good method, at least it is safer and more secure than climbing downstairs and dealing with wolf dogs.

"I'm sorry, I can't untie you for the time being." Gao Pingying said to Zhang's mother, "Please bear with it for a while." After expressing regret, Gao Pingying took Ye Wan away from the balcony. In order to have the strength to scream, the two of them planned to go back underground to eat the cooked meal first.After getting down, Ye Wan asked Gao Pingying if he wanted to move the ladder back, it was a very simple question, but he was stunned for a long time.Ye Wan felt that since discovering Wu Meilan's body, Gao Pingying's expression was always dull, and he showed more seriousness towards Wu Meilan's death than the previous few dead.

"Do you want to move back?" Ye Wan urged again. "Ah," Gao Pingying came to his senses, "forget it, let's leave it like this." Walking to the living room, the two people in the living room are still sleeping. Based on the amount of drugs, they will sleep at least until around four o'clock in the afternoon.It's noon, not one o'clock, so they won't wake up for a while.Even if he wakes up, what can he do? Apart from yelling and cursing, he can't do anything else.Thinking of Shen Huaqi's threat to her before, Ye Wan smiled contemptuously in her heart, this wolf should not underestimate her. The smell of food coming from the underground kitchen arouses people's appetite even more.The fear for a while has finally eased at this time, the others are dead, tied up, only the two of them can move freely in the house, and the safety index can be said to be 100%.Now smelling the aroma of rice, she also felt in the mood to eat, Ye Wan felt as if she hadn't eaten for a year. After the simple meals were placed on the coffee table in the living room, Ye Wan suddenly thought of He Yi, who had been staying quietly in the first room.She opened the door, and the people inside were still resting with their eyes closed, with peaceful expressions, without any complaints or displeasure.Ye Wan asked him if he was hungry, the other party opened his eyes, shook his head slightly, and rejected her kindness. "He's so strange." Ye Wan sat down on the sofa in the living room. "Those who are strange must have something suspicious." Gao Pingying sneered. In Gao Pingying's eyes, everyone is suspicious, which is why everyone is tied up.Ye Wan even wondered if it was because his left hand was inflexible, it was inconvenient to move, and he needed her help, so he didn't tie her up.This policeman was very powerful. Shen Huaqi really underestimated him, thinking that the injured hunting dog was not aggressive, but he was bitten anyway. "Once Wu Meilan died, Wu Senyan's clues would be broken, and the underground history would be hard to know." Ye Wan sighed. Gao Pingying immediately corrected her thinking, don't think that they are all surnamed Wu, they are relatives.He had investigated Wu Senyan's relatives in China before, and he had no connection with Wu Meilan.Moreover, regardless of whether Wu Senyan is a relative of Wu Meilan's family or her ex-husband, as long as she is a relative, she will know about the tragedy that happened here ten years ago, and she will definitely be entangled with Shen Huawen because of this tragedy. Will Huawen still call her here?It was precisely because she didn't know about Wu Senyan that she honestly said that her ex-husband was also named Wu, which meant that she had nothing to do with Wu Senyan. "Then what does her death mean? What is Shen Dan's reason for killing her?" Ye Wan was puzzled by Wu Meilan's death. "She must have been killed, but the murderer will not be Shen Dan." Gao Pingying frowned and swallowed, "I have to think about the fifth murderer." The fifth murdered person produces a fifth murderer. Why does every dead person have a murderer?They kill in different ways and for different purposes.The first four murderers are understandable, but the fifth murderer really lacks suspects.During the period from last night to early morning, many things happened. After she, Gao Pingying and He Zhan were fascinated by drinking coffee, who committed the murder?What is the purpose?Since Wu Meilan had nothing to do with Wu Senyan, she was only related to Shen Dan, if the murderer wasn't Shen Dan, who would it be?When they were underground, the expressions of Shen Huaqi and Zhang Bo showed that they didn't know what happened in the residential building. Was there a fourteenth person in the house?Just as Ye Wan wanted to express her doubts, she felt dizzy and sleepy, just like her reaction after drinking coffee last night.
