The living room was silent, and everyone remained silent at this moment without saying another word.

Eight criminal police officers stood around, working in teams of two, to temporarily "supervise" Qu Linjiang and the others, and they stayed at all times, including Jiang Fanlei.

Jiang Fanlei was bored and sleepy. He leaned there and closed his eyes to rest, not knowing whether he fell asleep or not.

Others were not as comfortable as Jiang Fanlei. The appearance of the missing two bones made it difficult for both insiders and outsiders to calm down.

Time passed slowly, and Chen Yi and Fang Shuyu were still searching the bathroom. With no results for a long time, Chen Yi began to frown.

He finally came to the only small window that communicated with the outside world, and once again determined that the size of the window could not accommodate adults.

"How could it be? What agency is so secretive?"

Chen Yi looked at the entire bathroom again, tried every corner, and knocked on every wall, but nothing was abnormal.

He came to the mural on the left side of the entrance again. The mural's response to knocking was solid. After careful inspection, the possibility of an mechanism was ruled out. It was just an ordinary mural, firmly embedded there.

At this time, Fang Shuyu came over. She also looked puzzled. She couldn't figure out how Chen Shiran disappeared from the bathroom out of thin air, and how the white skeleton appeared out of thin air in the bathroom.

"Chen Yi, there must be a secret passage, right? Otherwise it can't be explained," she said.

Looking at the mural in front of him, Chen Yi nodded and said, "There must be one. People don't disappear out of thin air. It's just that we haven't found it yet. The mechanism is quite secretive."

Fang Shuyu: "The decoration is very simple, there is nothing that looks like a mechanism, and the walls and floors are solid."

Chen Yi looked away and asked, "Did you not hear anything at the door at that time?"

Fang Shuyu shook his head: "No."

Chen Yi: "That's strange. If there is a secret passage in the bathroom, Chen Shiran will definitely call for help when the secret passage opens, right? There's no way he won't even have time to call for help, right? At least he has to make some noise."

Fang Shuyu: "What do you mean?"

Chen Yi: "There are only three possibilities for Chen Shiran's disappearance. Gong Yaoguang did it, the tenth person in the manor did it, and she did it herself."

"Let's assume, what if she disappeared on her own initiative? Disappearing on her own initiative is relatively easy to achieve under the circumstances."

Fang Shuyu: "Did she do both things?"

Chen Yi: "It's hard to say, but Gong Yaoguang disappeared within five minutes of the bathroom, and his body turned into bones. There has been no movement. It is very possible that he directed and acted on his own. Even if he is not the executor, he is still a participant."

Fang Shuyu didn't speak. She was thinking about the other party's purpose of doing this, but the two things were too strange to figure out. There were too few clues and too many possibilities.

If you don't even know whether there is a tenth person in the manor, how can you analyze it?

"Performance, bones..." Chen Yi said these two words silently, "If Chen Shiran is an insider and deliberately takes the risk to keep the bones, then the bones are the key. We need identity information, this is very important."

"Let's go and have a look at Gong Yaoguang's room."

Afterwards, the two returned to the living room and called away a trace inspector from the Imperial City Bureau. They took the survey box and gloves and shoe covers to the room where Gong Yaoguang lived to conduct a preliminary survey.

The police officer held a special light source and squatted on the ground to carefully examine the footprints. Eight people had been here before, and the footprints were quite messy and needed to be carefully identified.

Fingerprints near the window were also tried to be extracted. After discussion with the other party, Chen Yi finally determined that they were left when he opened the window.

Overall, nothing gained.

The possibility of whether there is a secret passage in Gong Yaoguang's room is unknown, because the windows of the room can be freely entered and exited without any restrictions.

Gong Yaoguang can go out by himself, and people from outside can come in, no problem.

At this moment, new possibilities appeared in Chen Yi's mind:

Chen Shiran caused Gong Yaoguang's disappearance, and then chose to disappear in the bathroom. If the identity of Bai Gu was not considered first, then Chen Shiran's target was Gong Yaoguang. In the end, his disappearance could not only achieve the purpose of exculpation, but also achieve the performance effect.

Turning yourself into a victim is the best way to divert attention in a closed environment. Everyone will only doubt the people around them, but not the missing person.

Among all the previous inferences, Chen Yi felt that this one was the most reliable and the most likely.

There is no other reason. Compared with Qu Linjiang and others, Chen Shiran's conditions are the most perfect.

In the room, Chen Yi stood in front of the window and looked at the snowy scene outside. A simple invitation turned into a suspenseful incident, which he had never thought of before coming.

Zhong Muping pulled himself to Eyingyunlu. He guessed that it might be because of a criminal case, but he thought that what he saw was just the result, but in the end he experienced the whole process.

"Yes, there is a sound. Where does the sound come from?"

Chen Yi's memory went back to the early morning. The reason why he woke up first and discovered that the human skeleton model was missing was because of those sounds.

First there was a clicking sound, then a rustling sound, then a dull thumping sound, and finally the sound of Jiuxiang's footsteps.

He was in a light sleep at the time and was not 100% sure whether the first two sounds were illusions, but the last two sounds definitely existed.

The footsteps have confirmed that Jiuxiang is indeed outside, so... what's going on with the thump-dong-dong sound?

When the sound was engraved in his mind, Chen Yi carefully identified it.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Knocking, most likely knocking, was someone hitting something with a hammer?

Being in the middle of the game but unable to get the truth accurately made Chen Yi a little irritable.

Seeing that Chen Yi seemed to be in trouble, Fang Shuyu came to comfort him and said that the police had intervened, so don't worry, new clues should appear soon.

Chen Yi hummed and led the technical police officers to continue checking other people's rooms, focusing on Chen Shiran and Qu Linjiang.

Compared with these visitors, Chen Shiran's room has obvious traces of life, and she should have lived here often, which indirectly proves that her relationship with Ji Zang Yang is indeed extraordinary.

It was difficult for an outsider to bring two bones in quietly, and they were not familiar with the structure of the manor. Chen Shiran was very suspicious.

The exploration ended quickly, but there was still not much gained.

Time passed. Two hours later, the three of them finished checking everyone's room. The technical police officer returned to the living room and left the trace inspection light source with Chen Yi before leaving.

Chen Yi came to the door of Chen Shiran's room, turned on the light source and checked carefully, moving little by little in the corridor.

Soon, he came to the stairs leading to the third floor.

Here, there are only two people's footprints left, one is Chen Shiran's, and the other is auspicious, judging from the pattern and size.

It’s not surprising that only these two people can move around freely in the E Shadow Cloud.

The first floor is the living room, the second floor is the guest room, what is the third floor? What's on the fourth floor? It is necessary to take a look.

"Just wait for me."

After leaving a message for Fang Shuyu, Chen Yi stepped up the stairs to the third floor. The layout of the third floor was the same as that of the fourth floor, with single rooms connected, nothing special.

He went to the door of the room and tried to open it. He found that the door was locked. He went to the second room and it was still locked.

After thinking for a while, Chen Yi stepped up the stairs again to the fourth floor.

There are very few rooms on the fourth floor. Compared with the second and third floors, the doors on the fourth floor are larger and the texture is more luxurious. They seem to be the owner's private places, such as offices and reception rooms.

The rooms on the fourth floor are also locked.

Seeing this, Chen Yi came to the corridor fence and looked down at the living room below.

"Borrow the housekeeper!" Chen Yi shouted.

This voice was a bit sudden. Not only did Jiuxiang raise his head subconsciously, but everyone else also looked over.

"What's the matter, Captain Chen?" Jiuxiang responded.

Chen Yi: "Can I go in and take a look at the rooms on the third and fourth floors?"

Jiuxiang refused decisively without any hesitation: "No! No one can enter without sir's permission!"

Hearing this, Chen Yi turned around and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Jiuxiang's expression changed, thinking that the other party was going to kick down the door, so he shouted quickly: "Hey, Captain Chen! Don't mess around!"

While speaking, he started to go towards the stairs but was stopped by the police.

"Sorry, please stay here and don't move."

Jiuxiang was angry: "Get out of the way! Even the police can't destroy private property casually! They've already broken down two doors, why are you coming again?!"

"Chen Yi!! Come down quickly! That's Mr.'s place and you can't enter!"

He, who had been watching the show, lost his composure at this moment. As a housekeeper, it is his duty to protect the privacy of the manor owner, which he understands.

At this time, Chen Yi stuck his head out again and shouted: "I'm going downstairs, why are you excited?"

Jiuxiang: "..."

He breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't just a matter of kicking in the door.

Following the sound of footsteps, Chen Yi and Fang Shuyu returned to the living room together. The latter sat down, and Chen Yi came directly to Jiuxiang and stretched out his hand to him: "Give me the key."

Jiuxiang: "What key?"

Chen Yi: "All the keys to the third and fourth floors."

Hearing this, Jiuxiang frowned: "Didn't I tell you that the third and fourth floors are your husband's place? No outsider can enter without his permission!"

Chen Yi was unmoved and emphasized his tone: "Bring it quickly!"

"Jiuxiang, have you figured it out? There are two people missing in this manor and two more bones. The entire manor is a crime scene. Do you think you can escape the search?"

"The search was light. How did Chen Shiran disappear in the small bathroom? Do you really think I am an idiot? Do you dare to say that there is no secret room?"

"When the time comes, I will definitely open the bathroom for you!"

When he heard that the house was going to be demolished, Jiaoxiang was immediately angry: "Try demolishing one! Mr. E Ying Yunlu's hard work cannot tolerate any damage. If you dare to demolish it, you won't be able to become the captain after Mr. knows about it!"

When it came to Eying Yunlu, he lost control of his emotions.

"You still know?" Chen Yi snorted coldly, "Don't go to such trouble, just call him over and I will tell him in front of him! How to contact him??"

After saying that, he took out the satellite phone.
