Entertaining Children

"Okay. ?? Bayi? Chinese W ≈ W = W ≤. = 8 = 1 ≈ Z = W ≠. COM I'm sure, this piano's pitch is very accurate, the sound is normal, there should be nothing hidden in it .” The song ended, Xiao Yao stood up and said.

"Okay, I'll look elsewhere." Tim Haggis said helplessly.

Seeing Tim Haggis getting busy, Xiao Yao stopped staying in the living room and walked into the bedroom to check.

"Hey, Tim, you should come over and see this!" Xiao Yao opened Wyatt's closet and shouted to Tim Haggis outside.

"What did you find?" Tim Haggis walked in after hearing the sound, saw Xiao Yao standing in front of the open wardrobe, then walked over curiously, looked inside the wardrobe, "You won't tell me he Hiding drugs or blood-stained clothes in the closet?"

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head, turned to look at Tim Haggis and said, "Wyatt's parents are not rich, so they can barely afford him to study at Chambers Conservatory of Music, and he himself only A part-time restaurant pianist job for four hours, right?"

"Yes." Tim Haggis nodded, "His parents only pay for his tuition fees, and he relies on his part-time job in the restaurant, which is just enough for him to cover the rent and daily expenses of this apartment."

"So, we have another reason to suspect him of drug trafficking." Xiao Yao smiled, pouted into the closet, and said, "The things in the closet are worth about 30,000 U.S. dollars."

"What?" Tim Haggis widened his eyes and said, "Just such a wardrobe of clothes, shoes, hats and accessories, so valuable?"

"Well," Xiao Yao nodded and said, "Just this set of dress is worth about five thousand dollars. Judging from the place he hangs in the closet and the dust on the transparent dust cover, it is obviously not rented. There are other clothes and shoes, although most of them are casual, but they are all high-end products of well-known brands. Many of them are the ones I have seen in the catalogs of those brands, and they are all new models released in the past six months. "

"It's really you, you really know everything!" Tim Haggis gave a thumbs up and said, "It seems that this kid is indeed doing some shady things, I have to find out more carefully Some."

Tim Haggis went back to the living room outside to continue searching, and Xiao Yao also continued to search carefully in the bedroom, but apart from the expensive clothes in the closet, Xiao Yao did not find any other valuable clues .

When Xiao Yao finished searching the bedroom and turned to the bathroom connected to the bedroom, two police detectives with police badges appeared at the door of the apartment.

"Hi,

Gary, Alex, Maier said the guy renting here might be involved in drug dealing, let's check it out. "The black police detective with ponytails greeted the two uniformed police officers standing at the door.

"Yes, that guy closed the door and ran away as soon as he heard that the FBI anti-narcotics team was looking for him. There is probably something wrong." The uniformed police officer named Gary nodded.

"Door?" Another young male police detective pointed at the door of the apartment that fell to the ground and laughed, "When did you become so powerful? When we need the assistance of uniformed police officers in handling cases in the future, can we appoint you to help?" Us?" When the police were handling cases, there were quite a few cases of breaking and entering, but most of the time they just broke the door lock, and it was extremely rare for the whole door to be knocked down like this.

"We didn't do this." Another uniformed police officer named Alex shook his head.

"Didn't you guys do it? Could it be that guy Mel?" The male police detective asked strangely, "His physical fitness is good, but his strength shouldn't be that great, right?"

"It's not Detective Maier either." Alex continued shaking his head.

"Hello!" When the male police detective wanted to continue asking questions, Tim Haggis, who heard the movement, had already greeted the two police detectives at the door.

The two police detectives put aside their conversation with the uniformed police officer, walked into the apartment, looked at Tim Haggis and said, "Hello! Are you the FBI agent who assisted Maier in the investigation?"

"Yes, FBI agent Tim Haggis." Tim Haggis opened his suit jacket, revealing the police badge pinned to his waist.

"Larry Flagg, this is Anna Valdes." The male police detective also introduced himself and his partner, shook hands with Tim Haggis, and asked, "Are you the FBI Drug Enforcement Team?" Detective? Why did you help the homicide squad's Melcha murder?"

"Actually, I'm in the robbery team." Tim Haggis said.

"But we heard that the suspect ran away because he heard that the FBI anti-narcotics team was looking for him." Female police detective Anna Valdes said.

"I made a slip of the tongue at that time and said something wrong." Tim Haggis smiled, "Who knew he had a ghost in his heart, and he showed his feet."

"Slips of the tongue are inevitable, but I like your slip of the tongue." Larry smiled tacitly.

"Meier said you still have a special advisor? Where is he?" Anna asked.

"Inside. He's checking the bedroom and bathroom." Tim Haggis reached out and pointed in the direction of the bedroom.

"Tim! I think I found something again, I need a tool!" Xiao Yao's shout came from the bedroom again.

"Let's go and have a look." Tim Haggis greeted the two detectives and led the way into the bedroom.

When the three of them came to the bathroom door, they saw Xiao Yao kneeling on the ground, with his butt pouted, his head close to the ground, and he didn't know what he was doing.

"I found something in the gap between the floor tiles, but I can't get it out with gloves on." Xiao Yao said without looking back, "Do you have any tools like tweezers?"

"Is a knife okay?" Larry pulled a closed pocket knife from his body.

"It should be possible, uh..." Xiao Yao agreed, and then realized that it was not Tim's voice, so he turned his head curiously. Seeing that besides Tim Haggis, there were two unknown people standing at the door, Xiao Yao quickly stood up from the ground.

"Detective of the nypd anti-narcotics team?" Xiao Yao asked suspiciously.

"Yes." Tim Haggis nodded and helped introduce, "Detective Larry Flagg, Detective Anna Valdes."

"Hi, I'm Jan Xiao." Xiao Yao greeted the two police detectives, and then stretched out his hand to Larry Flagg, "You said you can lend me a knife? Thank you."

"You're welcome." Larry handed the knife in Xiao Yao's hand.

Xiao Yao pulled the blade away, turned around and lay down on the ground again, carefully picking out something from the gap between the floor tiles.

"Tim, I think I've found the treasure!" Xiao Yao looked at the thing on the tip of the knife carefully, and exclaimed excitedly.

"Really? Let me see!" Tim Haggis also said with interest.

Xiao Yao turned around and handed the tip of the knife directly in front of Tim Haggis. Picking from the tip of the knife was a small piece of thin white wooden splinter.

"A small piece of wood? What's the use of this?" Tim Haggis asked puzzled. In his eyes, this is just a common crumb, which is not surprising in any bathroom.

"This is not an ordinary piece of wood," Xiao Yao said seriously. "This kind of thickness, this color, I think this piece of wood comes from the bridge of the violin. I remember seeing the photos of the scene last night, and noticed that there was a Take the photo of the violin belonging to the victim. I remember that the bridge of the violin in the photo is damaged. It should have been broken when the violin fell to the ground. If the fragment comes from the bridge of the victim’s violin, it can prove that the victim was killed Wyatt was there at the time."

"Are you sure?" Tim Haggis said, "The victim is Wyatt's ex-girlfriend, and she must have visited his apartment. Maybe she came to this apartment with a violin and accidentally caused the violin. The damaged horse is left here. Maybe she didn't notice such a small defect?"

"Impossible!" Xiao Yao shook his head firmly, "The bridge is a very important part of the violin. It transmits the vibration of the strings to the panel, making the whole violin vibrate together. Some people call it the heart of the violin. He The quality of the violin can affect the feel of the player and the performance of the violin. Therefore, a professional violinist will never fail to notice the damage of the bridge, and will never use a damaged bridge. The victim went to the concert hall. Practicing piano, so the broken bridge of the violin in her hand must have happened when she was killed, otherwise she would have replaced the bridge."

"Since this is the case, then we should immediately send this to the forensic department of the police station, and let the forensic personnel immediately verify whether this fragment comes from the violin at the scene." Tim Haggis believed in Xiao Yao's music and Professional knowledge in musical instruments, when I heard Xiao Yao say this, I became excited, and turned to the two detectives, "Detectives, did any of you bring an evidence bag?"

The two police detectives were a little confused. Didn't Maier say that the suspect was involved in drug trafficking? Why didn't the drugs be found, and the evidence of his murder was found first?

But they also understood the conversation between Xiao Yao and Tim Haggis, and Anna Valdez immediately took out a small transparent plastic bag and said to Xiao Yao, "Put it in."

When Xiao Yao put the small fragments from the tip of the knife into a plastic bag, Anna immediately shouted to the door: "Gary, please come here."

The uniformed police officer named Gary ran in immediately and asked Anna, "Anna, what's the matter?"

"Please send this to the police station immediately, and give it to Mel." Anna handed the small plastic bag to Gary, "Tell Mel, let the forensic examine whether this fragment belongs to the victim's violin found at the scene." It was dropped by the horse. It will prove whether Wyatt was present at the crime scene that night."

"Are you going back to the police station together, or are you staying here to continue the search?" Anna asked Tim Haggis and Xiao Yao again.

Maier briefly introduced the situation with them, and knew that their main purpose was to assist Maier in investigating the murder case, and the drug-related situation was only discovered by them inadvertently during the investigation.

"I want to stay here to see if I can find other things." Xiao Yao said.

In terms of forensics, Xiao Yao can't help. Now that he goes back to the police station, he can only sit and wait for the results of the forensics department. It's better to stay here and look for more evidence.

"Then I'll go back to the police station right now." Gary carefully put the plastic bag into his pocket and said.

After the uniformed officers left, the search continued. Anna and Larry simply divided their work. Anna helped Xiao Yao continue to search the bathroom, and Larry went to help Tim search the living room.

After checking the ground, Xiao Yao carefully inspected the wall below the sink, and aimed at the locker with mirror above the sink.

This wooden locker is not embedded in the wall, but directly hung on the wall. Xiao Yao checked the outside of the locker first, and found nothing wrong, then reached out and opened the door with the mirror inlaid on it. There are some common items in the cabinet, nothing special. But when Xiao Yao saw the side wall inside the locker, a strange look appeared in his eyes.

After thinking about it, Xiao Yao stretched out his hand and pulled out all the things in the locker, and put them into the dry sink. After emptying the locker, Xiao Yao reached out and touched the innermost wooden board of the locker.

Xiao Yao's actions caught the attention of Anna who was also checking the bathtub and shower in the bathroom. Turning around to see Xiao Yao emptying the locker, Anna also came over and asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with this locker?"

As she said that, Anna reached out and knocked on the innermost piece of wood. The sound was heavy and seemed to be solid, so she frowned and said, "It doesn't sound like there is a sandwich."

"But the depth inside and outside is different." Xiao Yao said to Anna. As he spoke, he gestured to the width of the outer side wooden boards and the inner side wooden boards of the locker. The gap between the two was obviously greater than the thickness of the wooden boards.

With Xiao Yao's reminder, Anna also found a problem. She reached out and groped in the locker for a while, but she couldn't find a way to open the wooden board inside. In desperation, she could only shout loudly: "Larry, we may have found something. We need your knife here!" After Xiao Yao put the small piece of wood into the plastic bag, he returned the knife to Larry.

"Don't bother, can you let me come?" Xiao Yao patted Anna on the shoulder, motioning her to stand aside.

Anna stepped aside suspiciously, and saw Xiao Yao slowly clenched his fist with his right hand, and then slammed it hard on the wooden board at the back of the locker. The locker was firmly nailed and did not fall off the wall, but the wooden board on the back of the interior had been shattered by Xiao Yao's punch, and a fist-sized piece collapsed inward.

Anna was taken aback by Xiao Yao's actions, and stared at Xiao Yao with wide eyes in disbelief.

Tim and Larry, who heard Anna's shout, were already walking towards the bedroom. When they heard a loud noise, they ran two steps quickly and came to the bathroom.

"Yang, we have other ways to open the interlayer of the locker. Do you have to be so violent?" Tim saw the crack on the wooden board inside the locker at a glance, and knew it was Xiao Yao's without even thinking about it. Masterpiece, said with a helpless wry smile, "It's not as urgent as you kicked the door just now."

"Did he do this?" Larry looked at Anna in surprise, then turned to Xiao Yao and asked, "And you also kicked down that door?"

"Do you think I can punch the wooden board of the locker like this?" Anna said helplessly, rolling her eyes.

"Hey, shouldn't your focus now be on the things inside?" Xiao Yao had already seen the white color through the cracks, reached out and broke off the broken pieces of wood, and said with a smile, "Huiya There is obviously a problem with Te, do I still need to pay for his apartment door and this locker?"

The three of them followed Xiao Yao's movements and looked into the locker, and were pleasantly surprised to find that the white powder packed in a plastic bag was exposed at the hole.
