Escape the Library

【Phantom in the picture-16】

Yue Xingwen's guess has opened up a whole new way of thinking for everyone - if this case is split, the murderer who killed the Roland couple and the murderer who killed Leia have completely different motives, which can explain the current doubts.

Ke Shaobin said: "Xingwen means that the murderer who killed the Roland couple needs to choose one of the two daughters Daisy and Alice; the murderer who killed Leah needs to choose one between Rhodes and Jack. ?"

Yue Xingwen nodded: "This is just my guess. If you want to confirm the final answer and pass this course, you must not just rely on guesswork. We have to find more and stronger evidence."

Zhuo Feng said: "At present, we have opened all the abstract paintings and oil paintings on the first and second floors. We have also collected clues about the bedrooms of the two sisters on the third floor, and the rooms on the fourth floor have not been searched. "

Xu Yi said with a deep smile: "The first floor of this villa is the guest dining room and the nanny's room, the second floor is the studio and study, the third floor is the bedroom of the two daughters, and the fourth floor must be the master bedroom of the Roland couple, as well as the study room belonging to the couple. , I guess the most important clues should be on the fourth floor."

Ke Shaobin immediately said: "Then let's hurry up and go to the fourth floor. I've been in this dilapidated villa for so long, and I'm hungry all over the place running upstairs and downstairs."

Yue Xingwen heard his stomach growl and said, "Don't move around here, I'll buy you an orange." Ke Shaobin stood there dumbfounded, unable to move. Yue Xingwen conjured a big orange and handed it to him. Ke Shaobin was really able to move. He immediately took the orange and said without any discipline, "Thank you, Dad!"

The students around him looked at him speechlessly. Ke Shaobin smiled and ate the oranges: "If you want to eat, look for Xingwen."

Yue Xingwen said: "Ke Shao's digestive function is a bit better than everyone else, so give him a belly pad first. For the others, find clues later, go back to the library after customs clearance and eat."

Everyone has no opinion. It has only been a few hours since I came to this villa, so I am not very hungry.

Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce walked up side by side, everyone came to the fourth floor, and sure enough they saw a very large master room, designed as an ensuite - master bedroom, cloakroom, study room and attached sky garden.

The villa was extremely dark and could only be illuminated by Xin Yan's alcohol lamps. Xin Yan simply summoned a large number of alcohol lamps to let the warm firelight illuminate the whole house for everyone to investigate.

Yue Xingwen said: "Search the study room first, everyone follow, don't fall behind."

One wall of the study room is full of books, and the other side is a desk with many drawers on the table.

There is a drawer that is locked, but at this time the lock of the drawer is gone. Jiang Pingce opened the drawer and found that there were only some bills in it. He frowned and looked at Yue Xingwen: "This drawer should have been manipulated."

Yue Xingwen squatted down and checked it carefully, and came to the same conclusion: "The lock was violently pried open, and there are some scratches on the drawer. There must be important documents stolen."

The two looked at each other, and Jiang Pingce said, "Documents related to property distribution?"

Yue Xingwen nodded in agreement and continued to search other drawers.

He found a photo album in the bottom drawer, which contained photos of a family of four, from Daisy and Alice's infancy until they were married, recording the sisters' growth, and some photos were also marked with date.

Jiang Pingce said: "Judging from the date marked in the album, Daisy was born on December 12, 1990, and Alice was born on November 15, 1992. The two sisters are two years apart."

Ke Shaobin's eyes lit up: "As long as we know Leia's date of birth, we can infer who has exchanged identities with her and replaced her daughter. This person is most likely the murderer!"

Leah was living abroad and was adopted because she exchanged identities with others when she was born. Then, the person whose birth date matched her was the person who exchanged identities with her, most likely because of property inheritance. And kill the parents!

Thinking of this, everyone got excited.

Zhuo Feng asked, "Has there been any clues related to Leia's birth date?"

Lin Manluo said: "I only remember that Leah and Rhodes were in the same class and attended the summer camp with Alice and Jack. The summer camp is uncertain. Students of all ages can sign up, but if they are in the same class, they are usually the same age. Right? She should be the same age as Rhodes."

Yue Xingwen looked at Jiang Pingce and reminded: "Just now, Daisy asked a private detective to investigate her husband's cheating evidence. Does the signed contract contain information about her husband Rhodes?"

Jiang Pingce took out the document and glanced at it, and said, "Born in 1992."

Yue Xingwen leaned over to look at the document: "That is to say, Leah was also born in 1992, the same age as Alice?"

Jiang Pingce said: "These two girls must have been born in the same hospital's obstetrics department. The two children were mistaken. The Roland couple didn't know that their own daughter was living abroad, and they always loved Alice as her own daughter. "

Ke Shaobin said curiously, "Then how did they know about it later?"

At this moment, Liu Zhaoqing pulled out a case file from the bookcase next to him and handed it to Yue Xingwen: "Old Mr. Roland has been diagnosed with leukemia in the hospital and needs a bone marrow transplant. When the hospital encounters such a situation, it is usually the first to look for it. When the family does the matching, it must be that Alice is not her biological daughter when she is matched."

Xu Yishen patted his forehead: "On the day Leah met the couple, she went home to send a message to her mother and wrote a diary. The date of the diary is what month and date, does anyone remember?"

Jiang Pingce, who is most sensitive to data, immediately said: "June 7, 2009."

Liu Zhaoqing analyzed: "The time when the old gentleman was diagnosed with the blood disease was May 1. After doing the matching, he found that his daughter was not his biological daughter, so he went to find his own daughter, and spent a month to find out Leia's whereabouts. The logic is correct. "

At this time, Lin Manluo pulled out another document from the corner of the bookcase and said, "The Roland couple and the company of Leah's adoptive parents have always had a cooperative relationship, and they obviously know Leah's adoptive parents. The two found their daughter and learned about her daughter. The years were not good, the couple simply conspired with their daughter, killed the family while traveling, made the daughter the sole heir of the property, and then adopted Leah by their side openly?"

Yue Xingwen agreed: "The illusion in the painting at that time only showed the clip of Leia meeting her biological parents, and there was no sound. I don't know what they discussed. After that, Leah's adoptive parents and younger brother died in a car accident. This is definitely not the case. Coincidence. Sister Manluo's analysis is very reasonable, in this way, Leia has become the biggest beneficiary."

Jiang Pingce frowned and said, "their original plan should have been to kill the family that treated Leah badly first, let Leah inherit the property, and then take Leah into the family, and wait for the two daughters, Daisy and Alice, to get married. , I will give all my love to my long-lost daughter Leah, and make a will to inherit the property to Leah."

Yue Xingwen sighed lightly: "This matter is not easy to publicize, so after Leah came to the house, she also temporarily lived in the nanny room on the first floor. Unexpectedly, this secret was discovered, and the husband and wife were tragically silenced."

Everyone looked at each other, and Ke Shaobin concluded: "It was sister Alice who killed Leia! Sister Daisy is biological, right? When the couple left a will, they should also give Daisy a part of the property. Liz is not biological and has no share of the property. She stole the will and killed the couple who had raised her for nearly 30 years."

Liu Zhaoqing added: "Because the old gentleman has a blood disease, his body is very weak, and the old lady has a hunched back and her legs are not very neat. Alice, a young woman strangled the couple easily. After they died, she would not be discovered. , buried the couple in the garden in front of the door."

The death case of the Roland couple has now been cleared up.

Judging from the family photos and the plot clips in the paintings for so many years, the couple is fair to their two daughters. They must have thought that Daisy and Alice were biological. The elder sister Daisy was born in 1990, the younger sister Alice was born in 1992, and Leah was also in 1992. The biggest possibility is that the younger sister and Leah have exchanged identities. The person who had a property inheritance conflict with Leah was also a younger sister, and she had the motive to kill her non-biological parents.

Who killed Nalia?

Yue Xingwen rationalized the clues in his mind and said: "We can't judge the death time of the three corpses, but judging from the black roses in the garden, I personally prefer that Leia died later. Alice killed When the Roland and his wife died and they were buried in the garden, maybe there were still sunflowers in the garden?"

Jiang Pingce also agreed with this analysis: "If the murderer had buried Leah and planted a large number of black roses, it would definitely arouse suspicion and vigilance in the family. Unless something happened to this villa, people have already gone to the building. Empty, abandoned, and if he replants black roses, he will not be discovered."

The two looked at each other, and Yue Xing said, "The first scene of Leah's death is probably not in this villa. Did the murderer transport her body to the villa to bury her after killing her elsewhere?"

Ke Shaobin complained: "As a result, the murderer was digging and digging, and found that there were two buried underground?"

Everyone: "…"

The killer's expression must have been wonderful.

Liu Zhaoqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Lord and Jack, choose one, who do you think it will be?"

Just as everyone was discussing in a low voice, Jiang Pingce suddenly said, "It's Rhodes."

Yue Xingwen looked at him suspiciously: "In the scene of the child's birthday, Rhode and Leah didn't know each other when they met at the kitchen door. We also discussed it, and they didn't seem to have an affair. look."

Ke Shaobin also agreed: "Yes! Didn't Rhodes raise a mistress outside? He was even exposed by an old friend in person, and he admitted it frankly. How could he suddenly kill Leah?"

Jiang Pingce said, "Look at these photos."

He took out a photo of Daisy taken through a private detective investigation. In the photo, Rhode and his mistress behaved intimately. The woman has a pair of clear and beautiful blue eyes. She is not Leia, but her facial features and temperament are seven points similar to Leia.

Xu Feixue immediately said: "By the way, we identified Leia as the character alluded to in the painting "The Woman Holding an Ermine". The original protagonist of the painting was herself the mistress of the Duke of Milan! The woman in the painting is holding Gray mouse, Leah holding the white cat, is this a reminder that Leah is like a mistress, but not a mistress?"

Yue Xingwen's eyes lit up: "Yes! Did Rhode find a substitute to be his mistress?"

Jiang Pingce said: "This is a typical paranoid personality. He had a crush on Leah since he was a child, but he couldn't love him, so he found a woman similar to Leah as his mistress. On the surface, the more indifferent he was to Leah, the more he thought to himself. The stronger the desire to monopolize the other party, the more time it goes on, the more distorted the psychology is. The younger brother Jack is different. He once easily chased after Leah. A **** like him will not cherish a woman who is easy to get and has had a relationship with. There will be no special strong love."

Yue Xingwen opened up the idea of ​​solving the problem and continued to analyze: "I still remember that in the wedding dinner corresponding to the painting "The Last Supper", Rhodes sat in the position of **** in the original painting, and Leah sat in the original painting of Judas the traitor. At the time, we wondered if it was a coincidence? Now it seems that Rhodes thought that Leah had betrayed his feelings!"

Substitution, mistress, betrayal...

The key words in the picture are all correct.

Rhode had a crush on Leah for many years and regarded Leah as his property, but as a result Leah "betrayed" him? So, he couldn't bear it anymore, killed Leah, buried the other party in the ground, and planted black roses in the garden that symbolized "you are mine".

Black roses bloomed in the moonlight, but Leah's soul had nowhere to rest.

A lot of paintings in this villa are actually nighttime phantoms, just to restore all the truth.
