Life is always full of surprises.

For example, when you wake up, there is a murder case, and you don't know who is dead. Or when you wake up, you not only find a murder case, but also a man sleeping next to you.

Although there is nothing unusual about the body and the clothes are wrinkled, there are no other traces. This is also scary enough.

Jian Jing read the system prompt again, and then looked at Zong Xunmei, who was leaning on her head and looked lazy. She was very suspicious that the murderer was this guy.

He didn't want to use her as an alibi.

If so, he shook his head off.

But at that time, she didn't say anything, just glanced at Zong Xunmei, got out of bed and left without even looking at him. Only the sound of the door closing heavily revealed her anger.

"What a heartless girl." Zong Xunmei sighed slowly, stood up, and his eyes suddenly fell on the slippers.

Fragmentary lights flashed.

He was calm and kicked the slippers lightly to the bottom of the bed.

"It was a close call."

Jian Jing returned to her room, took a shower, changed clothes, and dried her hair, and heard panicked shouts from Yang Xiao's villa.

Yang Xiao was dead.

She must solve the case.

-

Time goes back to the present.

Jian Jing relied on her own memory to roughly arrange the timeline, and then asked others to supplement the explanation.

Kang Mucheng had a good memory and a strong sense of time. He quickly sorted out his own action trajectory, most of which overlapped with Si Yingjie.

At 7:40 in the evening, they went to Si Yingjie's room to drink until 1:30 in the morning. During the period, except for going to the restroom, they almost never left each other's sight.

If I must say, at 10:13, Kang Mucheng went out to answer a phone call and talked for 18 minutes. The call record is very clear.

At 1:30, Kang Mucheng and Si Yingjie both fell asleep.

Around three in the morning, Kang Mucheng woke up, covered his friend with a blanket, and went back to his room to sleep until he was woken up at around six o'clock.

The next group was Elena and Yaoyao.

After the two of them finished playing cards, they went to the terrace to watch the stars and drink, and they only separated once.

That was at 10:40, when they finished the bottle of wine they brought with them, and Yaoyao returned to the bar and took some beer back.

Yaoyao said: "At half past ten, my cell phone rang, which is my usual bedtime. I said it was a bit late and asked if we should go back to rest. Elena said it was a rare opportunity to enjoy the starry sky and wanted to drink a little more, so we finished the rest of the wine and I went to the bar to get some beer. Who knew that when we got back, Elena was already drunk."

Elena smiled: "I woke up when she came back. It should have been 10:45."

"Why do you remember it so clearly?"

"Beer spilled on the phone, and I saw the time when I wiped it."

Yaoyao added: "We drank until about 12:10, and I took Elena back to the room. By the way, I happened to see A Xu smoking on the balcony at that time, and I greeted him."

A Xu nodded: "Yes, I remember this."

Then he began to sort out his and Coach Yin's memories.

The two of them left the restaurant at 8 o'clock and stayed together, never separated. At 10:50, A Xu called the bar, but the bartender was sent away by Zong Xunmei, so he had to come and get it himself.

They arrived at the bar at around 11 o'clock, and when they returned to the room... Coach Yin picked up his phone and glanced at his Instagram account: "I posted a picture after he came back with the wine. Well, it was 10:21, so he should have been back around 15."

Jian Jing asked: "You guys don't live far from the bar, why did you walk for so long?"

"I smoked a cigarette." Ah Xu explained, "Tongtong doesn't like the smell of smoke."

Coach Yin nodded to confirm his statement.

Jian Jing was silent in thought.

She found that the eight people yesterday were all in pairs, and they could basically testify against each other, but everyone had a period of time that could not be proved, the only difference was the length.

Yes, Zong Xunmei also had it.

After she got drunk at around 11 o'clock, her concept of time was fuzzy, and he could have committed the crime when he lost consciousness.

To know who is the most suspicious, they have to return to the crime scene and investigate the real cause of Yang Xiao's death.

Jian Jing inspected the crime scene for the Nth time and was familiar with the route.

She found gloves in the kitchen, removed the shower cap in the bathroom, put on disposable shoe covers, took a stack of sealed bags, added label strips and a tape measure, and she was ready.

The layout of the water villas is similar. The first floor is an open living room and dining room, and the second floor is a large suite with a bedroom, study, cloakroom and bathroom.

Jian Jing first studied the door lock.

Because it is a private island, the network signal is greatly affected by the weather, and the room security still uses a mechanical lock cylinder, which is opened with a key. There

are two keys in total, one is with the housekeeper and the other is in the bedside table in the bedroom.

The door of the suite has a security chain. This morning, after the housekeeper and his men opened the door, they were blocked by the chain and were able to enter only after they had to saw it off with a saw.

The bedroom door was not locked and opened with a push.

Yang Xiao was wearing silk pajamas, and there was a faint fragrance on her hair. There was a bottle of hair care oil on the bedside table, which said to use it when it was half dry. All these proved that she fell asleep very calmly and there was nothing abnormal.

In addition, there was a glass of water, a bottle of melatonin, and a mobile phone on the cabinet. There were call records in the phone, and the last call was made by A Xu, which was consistent with the confession.

There was a gap in the window next to the bed, and hot air blew in.

Jian Jing was a little concerned. The central air conditioning was on in the room, so why was the window open? She leaned over to the window and checked carefully, but found no signs of violent prying.

Looking down, she saw Axu, Yaoyao and two staff members walking around in the grass below.

"Why are you there?" she asked.

Axu said, "The window is open. We were wondering if a snake crawled in through the window, so we asked them to check it out."

Yaoyao also said, "My room is next to it, and I'm afraid of snakes."

"Did you see any snakes?" Jian Jing asked.

The staff shook their heads and said, "No, we rarely see snakes here."

Jian Jing thought silently, although the silver ring snake is also distributed in hot areas, it has a gentle temperament, strong venom, and is not very aggressive.

Yang Xiao was sleeping soundly in bed, and even if a snake really got in, it might not bite her.

But if someone was using the name of a poisonous snake to commit murder, how would they do it?

"Sister Yaoyao." She leaned on the window and asked, "When you came in the morning, was this window open?"

Yaoyao was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Yes, last night, Xiaoxiao said that the room was a bit stuffy, so she opened the window for ventilation."

Jian Jing asked: "Isn't the air conditioner on in the room?"

Yaoyao was confused: "It's stuffy only when the air conditioner is on."

Jian Jing: "...Okay."

I understand, rich people don't care about this electricity bill at all.

It seems that the door of the suite was locked and the other windows were also closed. If he was the murderer, he must have climbed in through the window.

But there were no footprints on the windowsill. Was he wearing shoe covers?

She went downstairs again and went around the wall outside the window to check. Unfortunately, the staff had just searched for traces of snakes and left a lot of disturbing footprints.

However, looking up at the height, Jian Jing felt that it was not difficult to climb up from this place.

Because the ground floor is an open design with no doors, there is a half-wall built around it, and flowers and trees are planted, which can well take into account privacy and ventilation.

Climbing up the low wall, it is very close to the decorative line of the second floor. This part of the protrusion can barely be walked. Going around half of the house, you can reach the window sill outside the bedroom.

Jian Jing experimented with her own room and successfully entered.

However, climbing over the wall requires a high level of physical strength. It is not a problem for men, but for women, short people like Yaoyao and Coach Yin may not be able to do it.

Elena can do it.

Jian Jing pondered and thought of another question. It takes a long time to climb over the wall. Who among all people has such an opportunity to kill someone?

From 10:13 to 10:31, Kang Mucheng and Si Yingjie separated; from 10:38 (two minutes before 10:40) to 10:45, Yaoyao and Elena separated; from 11:00 to 11:15, Axu and Coach Yin separated.

In addition, from 11:00 to 12:45, her memory was broken, and Zong Xunmei might not have stayed in the bar all the time.

Zong Xunmei is the most suspicious.

With his skills, climbing over a wall and killing people should be no problem.

The question is, what is the motive?

The system prompts that it is a love triangle.

Known: Si Yingjie and Yang Xiao were boyfriend and girlfriend, and he and Elena were ex-husband and wife, A Xu and Coach Yin were boyfriend and girlfriend, Yang Xiao was engaged once, but her fiancé died.

Where did the polyamorous relationship come from? They are all exes.

Is there any other unknown branch?

Jian Jing decided to ask someone.

The first choice is naturally Si Yingjie.

When he talked about Yang Xiao, he talked non-stop, as if he could talk for three days and three nights.

"Xiaoxiao and I have been dating since college. She is independent, not pretentious at all, and very capable. At that time, there were many things to do in our club, and she arranged them all clearly. I was... well, I admired girls like her very much at that time, and decided to pursue her immediately.

"In the first two years, we were really good. She didn't like to care about things, and didn't care who I was with. I was also very good to her and didn't mess around with anyone. Until later when she graduated, she went to work for her family's company, but I was not happy doing these things, and continued to pursue my own interests.

"Because of this, we were often apart and slowly started to quarrel. She wanted me to be more mature, and even if I didn't want to work for the family, I had to have my own career. In the end, we didn't want to quarrel anymore, and thought we were not suitable for each other, so we broke up.

"Her family arranged a blind date for her, and a year later, she got engaged to the eldest son of the Li family. That guy was a bit like Mucheng, he was career-oriented, and planned to take over the family business, so I guess they would get along well. Who knew he passed away at such a young age, what a pity."

Jian Jing finally heard the key information and asked quickly, "Are you very familiar with her fiancé?"

Si Yingjie said, "Yes, but not too familiar. I think you have had contact with Mucheng? "

He is two years older than us. I heard that he loved to fool around when he was young, and he was involved in extreme sports. He almost died once and stayed in the hospital for half a year. He calmed down after he got out." Kang Mucheng really knew it more clearly. Jian

Jing hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "So, Yang Xiao only had two emotional experiences, with Brother Yingjie and his fiancé?"

Si Yingjie frowned, "Why are you asking this?"

"There are usually only two reasons for him to kill, love killing or revenge killing." Jian Jing did not hide it, "I want to know who Yang Xiao has a grudge against, and whether he has any emotional disputes with others. "

Si Yingjie's face flashed with hesitation, as if he remembered something.

Jian Jing asked sharply: "Is it Brother Xu or Sister Yaoyao, or Elena?" The only people

who could make Si Yingjie doubt were probably these two friends and his ex-wife.

"A Xu pursued Xiaoxiao, but that was when we were in college." He said slowly, "Actually, I'm suspicious of Elena."

Jian Jing: "Oh?"

Si Yingjie rarely showed hesitation, half-heartedly: "To be honest, I've always felt that Elena is not quite right."
