River Breeze Night Sparrow

Soon, the meal was almost finished.Originally, a cake-eating session was specially arranged, but Liu Dongyue got sullen, and Mr. Liu couldn't bear to coax her.Finally, Cheng Qiuyuan said timidly: "Otherwise, I'll go and persuade her. Girls are thin-skinned, and if someone persuades them, it's good to give them a step down."

Mr. Liu thought about it, so he let Cheng Qiuyuan go.The cake was cut first and some were given to the two young children.The others were not interested in the cake either, only Lin Qiu and Jiang Yi ate a couple of mouthfuls to show their respect.

Jiang Yi raised his eyes and found that Liu Juran looked up upstairs from time to time, as if he was looking forward to Cheng Qiuyuan coming down quickly, his eyebrows were wrinkled, the corners of his mouth were stiff, and he looked unhappy.

Cheng Qiuyuan and Liu Dongyue didn't know what they were talking about in the room, and there was no movement.Mr. Liu also ordered to remove all the things.

In fact, Jiang Yi also finds it strange that Cheng Qiuyuan is Liu Juran's wife, how can he have a good relationship with Liu Dongyue who always sees Liu Juran as wrong?There was such a quarrel just now, could it be that Cheng Qiuyuan went to "beat" Liu Juran?

The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier. Although the willow house is old, the terrain is higher. Otherwise, it might be flooded due to such a large amount of precipitation.After discussion, everyone planned to spend the night in Liu's house.Tomorrow is Sunday, unless there are special circumstances, it doesn't matter.

Chen Shanshan was as friendly to Liu Chengxue and Liu Dongyue as Liu Dongyue.She wanted to take a chance on the luck of the children, and she would get pregnant with one earlier.Cheng Qiuyuan was away, so she took the initiative to accompany her two children to the home theater.Liu Xichao greeted Jiang Yi, but he didn't know where he went to smoke.Liu Juran also went upstairs. It is said that he has some work to deal with, so he said good night to the old man in advance.

Jiang Yi and Lin Qiu went to Mr. Liu's room to toss tea together.Like Jiang and Liu, what can they buy if they have money?Only these things that take time, effort and effort to obtain are especially precious.The price of this old badge is naturally expensive, but the most rare thing is the effort that the Jiang family has put into it.From looking for tea gardens, to making and storing tea leaves, everything is done with care, and the taste is unique to the mouth.

Mr. Liu is still more "arty" than Mr. Jiang. The tea sets at home are all available, and they are all well-known licensed products.Just like this, Jiang Yi looked at the beautiful Lin Qiu who came out of the ink painting with lowered eyes, and used his slender and white fingers to do the steps from equipment and sanitary ware to enjoying tea, making tea, and serving tea one by one.Mr. Liu sighed in admiration, saying that this step is "returning all streams to the clan", and that step is "covering the universe", and then he said something about "pursuing all living beings".

Jiang Yi was only thinking wildly: Good Bodhisattva, don't cross others, cross me first!

Fortunately, he was not born in ancient times, so it would be good for Jiang Yi to taste wine. If he is so particular about drinking tea, he would have died of thirst long ago.However, after waiting for so long, he still had to sigh after drinking the tea made by Lin Qiu himself: "It's so delicious!"

Lin Qiu smiled slightly and nodded, "It is indeed the best tea."

Jiang Yi thought to himself: That's not because of the tea. Even if you buy a can of 20 yuan green tea from the supermarket, it tastes good when you brew it.

Jiang Yi just drank two sips of tea here, and Mr. Liu was also tired.After explaining a few words, he rested.Jiang Yi and Lin Qiu exited the room.

The Willow House is designed as a building within a building. The rooms on the second floor are generally distributed in a circular shape, but the rooms are not closely connected. You can only reach the entrance of the room by turning a corner from the long corridor.The part of the promenade close to the grand staircase has guardrails, and the rest is a window, from which you can see the distant scenery of the mountains and forests.

There are some paintings hanging on the wall, probably designed by Liu Dongyue after he came back.The first floor is her own ink painting, and the second floor is the classical oil painting she collected everywhere. The styles are very different, and Jiang Yi can't quite understand it.However, the authors of these paintings don't seem to be very famous, and Lin Qiu doesn't know much about them, let alone Jiang Yi.In addition, there are also some works painted by Liu Dongyue himself, but most of them are still life oil paintings, and most of them are various flowers.

They continue to walk out.The torrential rain outside continued, and it was even more violent than before.Lightning continued to tear the sky, and thunder rolled in the distance.At the end of this long corridor hangs an extraordinarily large painting, which uses dark purple and black in large quantities, but because of the bright red in the center of the painting, it reminds people of the adjective "intense", as if a mass of darkness was lit by an open flame .

Lin Qiu seemed to be very interested in this painting, and stared at it from a distance for a while.But Jiang Yi couldn't understand what the painting was about.As soon as he turned his head, he suddenly saw Cheng Qiuyuan running towards the two of them with a pale face, staggering and falling over without paying attention.

Jiang Yi hurriedly handed over half an arm to Cheng Qiuyuan, asking her to support her from falling.She looked in the direction of Mr. Liu's door in horror, and said in a low and trembling voice, "Officer Jiang, something happened, something happened! Juran, Juran, he's dead!"

Jiang Yi and Lin Qiu's expressions changed drastically.

At this moment, another bolt of lightning pierced the sky.The pale light illuminated Cheng Qiuyuan's face, the teardrops on her cheeks were crystal clear, and Jiang Yi also saw the red palm prints on the delicate skin of her neck.For some reason, under the strong light, the oil painting at the end of the corridor on the second floor finally highlighted the outline of the person in the painting - a girl who was hidden in the endless darkness was disemboweled, and in the center stood a Bean little flame.

The night was thick.It's still raining.The night that was stained with the breath of death was also stained with a solemn atmosphere.The pendulum clock in the living room on the first floor pointed to eleven o'clock in the evening, making a scalp-numbing sound.

Jiang Yi and others walked out of the corridor quickly. He leaned on the guardrail of the platform on the second floor and saw the body of Liu Juran who fell in the hall on the first floor.There were many glass shards and ceramic shards beside him, and the gray silk pajamas he was wearing had been stained red in many places, and Liu Juran's head was down, bleeding out the largest pool of blood, which had already mingled with the brown-red carpet.

Hearing the movement upstairs, several people standing below also raised their heads.Chen Shanshan was terrified, and hid beside Liu Xichao, trembling all the time.Liu Xichao and Liu Dongyue also had dazed expressions on their faces, as if they were in a dream.

The hall on the first floor of Liu's house is a small exhibition hall, where some ceramic vases collected by the old man in recent years are placed. Although the really expensive ones are placed in glass showcases, the ones in the lobby are just decorations.Liu Juran just fell on the vase and directly hit the glass stand. No matter how thick the carpet in the hall is, it probably won't be saved.

There was frequent thunder just now, coupled with the tortuous layout of the Liu residence, and the excellent sound insulation effect, Jiang Yi didn't even notice when the hall fell.It seems like everyone else does too.

Jiang Yi immediately put away the identity of the Jiang family's only grandson who came to congratulate him, his expression sank, and he looked at everyone present coldly.He asked, "Who discovered it first?"

Chen Shanshan raised her hand tremblingly. "I, I had a quarrel with Xichao at night, and I got angry and came out to blow the wind, thinking of going downstairs to find some supper. Just, as soon as I got to the stairs, I saw someone fell down below."

"time?"

"It was about 5 minutes ago. When I saw it, I was terrified. I ran to the room and called Xichao to come out. Then, everyone came out."

Jiang Yi frowned and looked at Cheng Qiuyuan, and said, "When did Liu Juran come out?"

Cheng Qiuyuan shook her head and said, "After I gave birth to Xiao Ming, we have been sleeping in separate rooms. I live in the same room as the children. I don't know when Ju Ran came out."

Jiang Yi looked up and looked around, and asked Liu Dongyue, "Where is the surveillance in the room?"

Liu Dongyue bit her lips: "There is a surveillance room on the first floor. But I don't know if the home surveillance is on or not." Jiang Yi glanced at her.

Another loud thunder came, hitting everyone's soul even more directly in the silence.In the middle of the night, the brightly lit hall of the villa also looked a little dark against the background of the lightning outside the house, and the faces of the people who were sitting at a table just now suddenly appeared to be full of ghosts.

At this moment, a child's cry suddenly came from the second floor. Cheng Qiuyuan looked at Jiang Yi's pitiful reddish eyes with tears welling up again, and she said softly and tremblingly: "Xiao Ming seems to have woken up, I have to go up quickly, don't go up." Let the kids see this."

Jiang Yi nodded, and he said in a deep voice: "You all go upstairs first, except for Cheng Qiuyuan, everyone else has a room, keep your voice down, so as not to disturb the old man and the child. I will talk to you later."

"Could it be that there is still an interrogation? Jiang Yi, this is an accident. Why is there an interrogation? Could it be that someone else harmed him?" Liu Xichao's voice was also a little fluttering. When he asked whether someone harmed him, his eyes wondered. He wanted to go away, but he held back abruptly and lowered his head.

Jiang Yi twitched the corners of his mouth, frowned, and said vaguely: "Go up first. I don't know if it was an accident. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't."

Everyone else went upstairs, but Lin Qiu tacitly stayed where he was.He has been staying with Jiang Yi since dinner tonight, so the suspicion is the least.Lin Qiu looked at Jiang Yi, with no waves in his calm eyes, and said, "If you still have doubts about me, we can go to the monitoring room first. Before the meal, Mr. Liu and I sat on the sofa in the hall on the second floor. Didn't go anywhere else."

Jiang Yi nodded. "I have no doubts about you. What have you discovered?"

Jiang Yi knew that Lin Qiu had something to say to him.Sure enough, Lin Qiu approached Liu Juran's body, took a closer look at his expression before he died, and said calmly, "Liu Juran died within half an hour. His corpse's lips turned white, and his limbs had already started to go stiff."

"You suspect—?"

Lin Qiu looked straight at Jiang Yi and said, "Yes, I suspect that Liu Juran took drugs before his death."

On this point, Jiang Yi coincides with Lin Qiu.Jiang Yi also noticed this, so he didn't intend to treat this as an accident from the beginning.He stared at the retro wallpaper patterns on the second floor, as well as those murals that seemed to be gradually becoming weird, his eyes were as dark as twilight.

It was a rainstorm, Jiang Yi and other nine living people plus one dead Liu Juran were trapped in this small foreign-style building in the Republic of China.The rain is getting bigger and bigger, and it has no tendency to get smaller.The mobile phone signal is still very poor, and I can't make calls, let alone call the police.

In this old house like an isolated island where a murder occurred, Jiang Yi can trust that Lin Qiu is the only one.
