It was the late spring season. Standing on the balcony of the guesthouse and looking out, I saw that there were azaleas all over the mountains and plains outside, and they were all red, like a sea of flames that had been ignited. They burned to the seaside, and Zhang Yue beat them. A yawn, he held the railing probe and looked down, and saw that in the yard downstairs, a few tourists were making tea and chatting, and a woman who was like a nanny was pushing the paralyzed boss to bend in the yard.
When Zhang Yue saw this, his eyes fell on the boss. The boss was young, about forty to fifty years old, but his expression was very old, his hair was half-white, and his face was sitting there with dementia. The nanny kept dragging it around. It is said that this person has Parison's disease, which looks like Alzheimer's, but who knows
Zhang Yue shook her head, turned back to the house, took off her pajamas, and put on her casual clothes. Because she had to carry a pistol, it was not convenient for her to wear a skirt. She only wore a T-shirt, jeans, and pulled her hair. She was about to go out. , Suddenly, the phone rang.
"Hello? Captain." Zhang Yue said.
"It's me, what's the situation? You are looking for you on the Internet, and you won't return." Captain Li seemed dissatisfied, and reprimanded: "Didn't you tell you to report the situation at night?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Zhang Yue explained hurriedly: "Captain, I'm sorry, yesterday... Yesterday, I wanted to explore the number of the guest house, so I wandered around and it was too late to come back. I saw that you were not online. So I didn't dare to alarm you."
"Oh." When Captain Li heard this, his tone eased a little and said: "How is it? What happened?"
"Oh... that's the case." Zhang Yue saw the leader review and straightened up and said: "That's it, Captain, this hotel is the same as what we got. There are about 20 rooms, next to the sea and surrounded by A large garden. I checked the flowers carefully last night and found nothing suspicious. Oh, I mean, there are no poisonous flowers, and there is nothing unusual around them."
When Captain Li heard this, he hesitated and said, "The flowers are okay. It doesn’t mean that there’s no problem here. You can investigate carefully, but remember that you are not here to play. There are several lives. You must serious."
"Yes." Zhang Yue replied quickly, then paused and said: "Captain, I can't be here to play, there are my classmates among the dead." At this point, his tone couldn't help but feel sad.
Team Li said "Yeah"; he seemed to regret what he said just now, and hurriedly said: "I know, it's just because you were an undercover agent for the first time, and I was a little worried. Be careful, and report any situation in time."
"Yes." Zhang Yue agreed. He hung up the phone when he heard "Patter". He sighed, threw the phone and sat down.
This homestay is in European style, with Simmons beds, Renaissance oil paintings hung on the walls, and golden European-style tables and chairs around. Zhang Yue echoed the words of Team Li, and a grievance surged in his heart, "Puff." Lying in the **, looking at the ceiling, scenes of thousands of days come to mind—
Have you seen a corpse? Is it the kind of mummy whose blood has been drained? Crumpled like a mummy
Zhang Yue knew that as a criminal policeman, he would definitely encounter disgusting scenes, but he never expected it to be so disgusting-in a large dirt pit in the back mountain, there were all corpses, drained of blood, and it was as dark as burnt. It was, but it was vaguely recognizable, like Egyptian mummies, lying neatly side by side in the pit, staring at them.
All the detectives present were a little frightened. To tell the truth, in this line of work, there were a lot of corpses, brain cracks, broken limbs, and broken legs. But this kind of situation is too rare. This is obviously not an accident. , But someone deliberately drained the blood, and the modus operandi was very professional. The whole body was crumpled and curled up in darkness, like dry tree roots. It was charred when approached. The mummy, only by careful identification can we see the appearance of human beings, this...
What the hell is this
Zhang Yue sat there, echoing what had happened, holding her forehead and shook her head. She had just arrived last year. She wanted to be a hero with a passion. As a result, she had been typing documents in the sub-office. Later, she encountered this case. Investigating all the deceased in the unearthed pit, they had stayed in this hotel. The team leader wanted to bring someone to investigate. She had an idea and asked to be "undercover".
"Captain, these deceased have been dead for at least ten years. There is some evidence and they are also being overwhelmed. If you go to investigate, maybe you will start the investigation, or I will come, I will go undercover. Sooner or later, the murderer will be able to force the murderer to appear. "Zhang Yue said.
The captain looked at her eager face, frowned and shook his head: "No, undercover is a very dangerous job. If it really has something to do with that hotel, if the murderer does not leave, you will be dead, but what you said is Good idea, I'll go to Xiao Song another day."
"No." Zhang Yue was anxious when he heard that his credit was about to be robbed, and stomped: "Captain, if the murderer is really there, a tall and wicked young man might fight there. He didn't dare to move. If it was a woman, he would be unprepared, right? I will come and I will." He raised his hand and said, "Captain, rest assured, I will report to you every day. Absolutely, there will be no problems. of."
Team Li hesitated, and finally nodded in agreement. In this way, Zhang Yue came to this homestay hotel. As she expected, everything was normal. This is a villa-type homestay with about a dozen rooms on top and bottom. By the sea, it is a garden with all kinds of flowers. It is picturesque, but because it is off-season, there are not many people. There are only five or six residents, an old couple, a couple, and a middle-aged couple. , Plus a single woman, the boss is a middle-aged person, but she is actually an senile dementia, she was pushed around by the nanny all day long, the daily management is a man with a face full of flesh, called Manager Liao, probably in his thirties. The troubled talk is very loud, and it is very different from the simple and elegant style of the hotel.
This is what Zhang Yue got in the past two days. Although she has a professional background in criminal police, she doesn't have much actual experience. After registering and checking in, thinking that those corpses are old, she looked for opportunities to get close to the boss and the manager Liao. Manager Liao is very busy and is basically not here on weekdays. The lady at the front desk does not say anything except polite words. The service elder sister even asks three questions. And that paralyzed boss, Zhang Yue has not been able to catch anyone in these two days. The only thing that can be done is to observe the terrain.
According to Zhang Yue’s observation, the rooms in the B&B are basically the same. There is no attic, and there seem to be no secret rooms. All in all, she didn’t find it. The only suspicious thing is the garden. The garden is very large and has all kinds of plants. The flowers in this place are arranged by a special gardener. This is normal to ordinary people, but to Zhang Yue, it is a bit strange—there are not many people here, and the scenery is actually enough. Where can there be so many flowers? And looking at the tourists, they don’t seem to have much interest in those flowers. Is this a waste
Or... Who loves flowers here
Zhang Yue asked the cleaner yesterday. When the cleaner asked three questions, she waited for the gardeners who specialize in flower care. The gardeners were on the night shift. Yesterday, they stood in the garden and almost fed mosquitoes. They come.
"Oh, the flowers here are very beautiful, I like them very much." Zhang Yue smiled and looked at the gardener. The gardener was a young man in his twenties with a black head and a black face. He probably didn't expect that there was a girl in the middle of the night. He was taken aback and up and down. Looking at her, he stammered: "Are you a guest here?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yue couldn't help feeling disappointed. Such a person, at first glance, was the kind without secret. He bit his lip and asked: "I am. Are you here to rest the flowers?"
"Yes." The gardener was stunned. Seeing Zhang Yue didn't say anything, he nodded, then turned and walked toward the depths of the garden with his tools.
Zhang Yue's heart was just right. He took off his high heels, followed the gardener with a smile, and asked with a smile: "How long have you been working here? The flowers here are really beautiful, you know, I'm from a flower shop, I saw several Famous species, I especially want to inquire about how you planted them, so that I can go back to cultivate them later."
"Really?" The gardener turned around, put down his tools, scratched his head and said: "Okay." After a pause, he asked: "What kind of flowers do you want, I'll tell you."
"Oh… "
Zhang Yue never expected this person to ask so directly, and said: "Oh... this, look at how beautiful this rose is."
"This is a very normal variety." The gardener said solemnly: "This is a variety, basically it can live by planting it in the ground."
"Oh..." Zhang Yue looked embarrassed, looked down at the yellow flower not far away, and hurriedly pointed at it and said, "What about that? It looks so beautiful and rare."
The gardener became more surprised, his eyes widened: "This is the most common sunflower, don't you know Miss?"
When Zhang Yue heard this, she almost wanted to cry, gritted her teeth, and simply walked to the side and pointed to the red ocean over there and said, "What about over there? It looks so beautiful and precious over there. You can give me some seeds. ?"
The gardener blinked, and suddenly a look of doubt appeared on his face: "Is the lady really from the flower shop?"
"Of course it is." Zhang Yue looked to reveal his identity, nodded hurriedly, and said with a solemn face: "I'm a flower shop. My flower shop is on Huayuan East Road, Lizizhou City. You will know if you go to see it."
The gardener said "Oh" and suddenly stopped speaking.
"Why do you look like this?" Zhang Yue saw the gardener's silly face, and suddenly fell silent. She couldn't help but feel uneasy, and said hurriedly: "If you have anything to say, tell the truth, I am also concerned about the flower shop business. A piece of love will wait for you so late, thinking that there are so many kinds of flowers here, how can I get some experience back."
The gardener nodded: "It turns out that it is."
"Why do you look like this?" Zhang Yue saw the gardener's reluctant expression, and his heart throbbed, lest the other party could see the flaw, bit his lip and said: "Brother, if you want to say it, just say it straight."
When the gardener heard the words "little brother", his face turned red, and he grinned and said: "Actually it is not, you know, most flower shops sell all kinds of flowers. I didn't expect you to ask for advice. Rhododendron cultivation, is this kind of flowers spread all over the mountains? You don’t need to raise the roots at all, you can just pinch them in the wild.
Hearing this, Zhang Yue finally couldn't stay any longer, waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I won't tell you anymore, it's too late, I'm going back." Then, she turned around and fled...
"Ugh."
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue shrugged her shoulders in frustration, saying that she was not prepared enough. She really wanted to strike up a conversation with the gardener. At any rate, she recognized the flower. Alas, thinking of Team Li’s urging and pressure, she was a little anxious, frowning and staring. On the wall, there is a European-style oil painting on the wall. It is a young girl holding a water jar. The girl has a graceful posture and a delicate touch. At this time, she is raising her head with difficulty and squinting her eyes forward...
"What should I do? How can I find out something strange? If this clue is false? If it is false, then... Isn't it a waste of toss? The captain has said that if the clue is false, then I am here. The cost should be deducted from the salary. Oh, no, my own salary, oh..."
Zhang Yue was worried, and suddenly felt that someone in front of her was watching her. She gently raised her head and stared at the front. The girl in the painting was also squinting at herself. Maybe it was her own illusion. How did she feel that this girl was real? Zhang Yue stared at the girl's eyes in a daze, as if she felt that the girl was saying to herself: "Come here, come here."
she was…
Zhang Yue stood up, and gradually approached the painting. The girl on the painting was smiling at her with a bewildered mouth, her hair blew gently on her face, and her white cheeks surfaced. There was a burst of dizziness, and suddenly, those eyes gurgled a bit...
