"ha?"
This self-destructive introduction made the woman stunned for two seconds.
But then she recovered.
Looking at this inexplicable visitor in the middle of the night.
She didn't know what Qianye was here for...
"Won't you invite me to come in and sit down?"
It seems like a question.
But before the woman could answer, Qianye walked into the house on his own.
The interior design of the house is very elegant. Although the layout and area are large, it is also kept clean.
If you don't hire any servants.
That woman still pays more attention to hygiene...
"Is there anything wrong with you coming to see me?"
The woman watched Qianye enter her house.
I couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.
She stood behind Qianye, several positions away from him.
If the visitor is unkind, she will give him a cool blow with the fruit knife she hid behind her before opening the door...
"Tell me, what's your name?"
Qianye's fingers slid over the shoulder of the leather sofa, then he sat down unceremoniously and looked at the woman with interest.
"Did you... misunderstand something? This is my home, and I don't seem to know you."
The woman's pretty brows wrinkled slightly.
He has clearly expressed his dissatisfaction.
Qianye didn't have much emotion about this.
Just breaking into a strange woman's house like this, it's inevitable that she will be a little careful...
He didn't say much, but quickly took out an ID from his pocket, thrust it in front of the woman's eyes at a speed that was difficult to see clearly, and then took the ID back before the other party could react.
Well, that's his security work pass at the Aden Tavern...
"Madam, I am the detective responsible for secret investigation of the local police. My name is Bernard. Recently, a vicious case was dispatched. I found you based on the information. I hope you can tell the truth and assist me in my work. "
The characters are straight and round.
Taking advantage of the woman's failure to see the ID clearly, Qianye quickly said this.
His face was calm, and he didn't look like he was lying at all...
"police?"
The woman was a little skeptical, but Qianye did a good job with this move.
Although I didn't see the certificate clearly.
But the other party took out their IDs, so they weren’t lying to themselves, right?
"Okay...then, do you want some water?"
"No, I don't think I'm very thirsty. It's not early yet. I still have to do business."
Qianye gave up and rejected the woman's proposal.
"Okay, then what do you want to know?"
The woman seemed to have believed Qianye.
She sat on the sofa opposite the coffee table.
The looming white skin under her nightgown kept flashing in Chino's field of vision...
"The first question is the same as before, your name."
"Perrin," the woman replied.
"That's a really good name. Okay, can you tell me about your family background?" Qianye seemed to be completely entertained.
He fully plays the plot characters he often sees in movies and TV series.
It's so lifelike.
If it wasn't a bit of a middle-of-the-road, the effect would probably be better...
"Well, before I say anything, can I ask a question first?"
"You ask."
"Officer Bernard, since you are here to investigate, why did you say you were... a wage earner when you came in?"
Qianye shook his head slightly and replied.
"As I said just now, I am conducting a secret investigation now. There are many people outside the house, so I can't stand outside the door and reveal my true identity, right?"
Finished.
To prove his point.
He also slapped the security work ID card that flashed past Peilan's eyes on the table.
and explained.
"This is the secret identity arranged by me for secret investigation. I am currently undercover in a tavern."
Peilan glanced at the documents on the table that seemed familiar.
Then I looked outside the house through the window. It was completely dark in the middle of the night, and I couldn't see half of the pedestrians on the street...
"The Sword Comes"
Too many people and too many eyes?
"Okay, Miss Perrin, you should be able to speak now."
Perrin didn't wait to think.
Qianye continued to urge.
The former's thoughts were brought back. Looking at Qianye, she finally chose to believe...
"Then, let's start with myself. I am a writer and currently married. My mother passed away a few years ago, leaving only my father."
"Because his mother's death hit him hard, he disappeared after that, and I couldn't find him."
"What does your father do?" Qianye rested his chin on his hand and stared at Peilan with narrowed eyes.
"He just did a little business, nothing else."
"oh?"
Qianye looked into Peilan's eyes.
As if trying to read in the other person's eyes whether she is lying.
"Q-Qianye...there is the smell of corpses here."
Just when Qianye was about to say "Thank you very much for your cooperation" and then wanted to ask more questions, Xie Aishan's voice suddenly sounded next to his ears.
"Miss Perrin, you don't seem to be telling the truth. This doesn't seem to match what I said in my information."
Chino tapped her thigh with her fingers.
He looked at Perrin with an expression that said, "I know everything."
I originally thought that the paper-burning incident had become some kind of secret.
But after Xie Aishan’s reminder.
Qianye didn't expect that this guy actually had a body hidden in his house?
When Perrin said his name.
Qianye wondered why it was not Lai Teli who burned the paper, but another woman...
It looks like this.
There really is some important plot hidden in the other party.
"Officer Bernard, I don't quite understand what you said. I just told the truth. If you say I lied, you have to have some evidence and reasons, right?"
"For example, where did I lie to you?"
"All of them." Qianye's expression did not change at all.
Still calm and composed.
Peilan smiled when he heard this, but he didn't know what the smile contained.
"Officer Bernard, I'm afraid this is a bit exaggerated."
Qianye looked at Peilan's reaction.
There was a faint feeling that there seemed to be some danger.
The opponent's right hand was always behind his back, probably hiding something behind him.
Maybe a knife if you're lucky.
Maybe a gun if you're not lucky...
Maybe the actor who plays Perrin is tasked with not letting others know his secret.
If you keep digging deeper.
Chances are you'll be eating peanuts here...
This is an elimination game.
Most likely the rule is not to violate the mission posted on the envelope.
For normal people.
Choose between your own death and the death of others.
Most will lean toward the latter...
So even though they were both victims, Qianye knew that what Peilan got was indeed such a task.
Then the other party won't have any hesitation when killing him...
"Okay, Miss Perrin, it's rude for me to disturb you so late. Please keep the conversation confidential. I'm leaving. I hope we can meet again in the future."
Qianye stood up and left such an inexplicable sentence.
Peilan didn't know why Qianye wanted to leave suddenly.
It was obviously a good conversation.
And let’s get to the formal topic immediately.
She really can't understand the other party's proposal to leave...
Qianye picked up his gentleman's hat.
I lightly patted the non-existent dust on it.
He bowed in a decent manner and made a gesture of turning around and walking out.
but.
Just when he turned around, Perrin was relaxing.
Qian Ye suddenly pounced over without any warning!
Perrin was startled.
He quickly stabbed out the watermelon knife he was holding in his hand!
Unfortunately.
How could a prepared Qianye be hurt by this thing...
When he saw Perrin's right hand raised, he immediately kicked it with a beautiful cross kick at the moment it was raised.
Peilan was in pain and the fruit knife fell to the ground...
Qianye also quickly controlled the opponent's hands and pressed him on the sofa, making Peilan unable to move.
The whole set of actions flows smoothly.
It's like going through countless rehearsals.
Qianye, who was holding Peilan under him, was also a little surprised.
Although I imagined a hundred possibilities in my mind.
But I didn’t expect that I could do it so beautifully...
"I just gave your body...a little blessing." Xie Aishan's voice rang in Qianye's ears.
Well, that’s it.
Qianye almost forgot about being possessed by a ghost. The possessed person's body would also show an extremely strange state.
This is how ghost stories are written.
Then after Xie Ai Shan is attached to him, he can naturally do the same...
"I just don't know if I can defy Newton's gravity and moonwalk on the ceiling..."
"What are you doing!" Peilan, who was pinned down, was furious and struggled to get up.
Of course Qianye won't let her succeed.
Pulling Perrin off the sofa, Qianye moved behind him, took out a cut cigar from his pocket and put it on the back of Perrin's head...
"Don't move, or I will pull the trigger subconsciously."
Naturally, Peilan, who couldn't turn around, didn't know that Qianye was holding a cigar.
Believing he was being held at gunpoint.
She had to be obedient and not dare to move.
After all, who would have thought a police officer would point a cigar at someone?
Even if the touch feels wrong.
But Perrin didn't think much about it at all...
Oh, right.
Where did the cigars come from?
This is due to the security role played by Qianye.
If you guessed correctly.
The character's own setting should be that he doesn't have a lot of money in his pocket, but his face is very important.
So I followed the example of some nobles and spent half a month's salary to buy an expensive cigar and put it in my pocket.
Even if he doesn't smoke.
I also often take out my cigars to show off...
What a coincidence not to go.
When changing into work clothes, Qianye found this cut cigar.
Maybe the security guard cut the cigar for some reason at a party, and that's why it happened.
Of course this is not the point.
Mainly because it can help Qianye's deception, that's enough...
"I don't like to say it a second time...take me to find the body hidden in your house."
Qianye pressed his cigar against Peilan's head.
Said unceremoniously.
"How did you know..."
“If there’s too much nonsense, I don’t mind taking a little more time to find it myself after I pull the trigger.”
Before Perrin could finish speaking.
Qianye interrupted directly.
To this.
Peilan couldn't help but swallowed nervously...
"Okay, Officer Bernard, I'll take you there. Can you put the gun away first? I'm afraid of misfiring."
"What do you think?"
Qianye asked a rhetorical question.
It means there is no negotiation.
There was no time to think too much in a tense state. For example, right now, Peilan didn't care at all whether there was any sound of the safety being turned off when Qianye pointed the "gun" at her.
Move slowly.
Under Qianye's threat, Peilan took him deeper into the villa...
What's the saying?
Oh, whenever there are reports of corpses hidden in villas.
Most people would hide the body in the basement of the villa.
Perrin was not surprised either.
After walking around in the corridor of the villa, she took Qianye to the study, and then carefully opened the floor tiles in the study.
Revealing the downward-facing staircase inside...
Yes.
It's not just hiding in a basement.
This can be said to be hidden in a secret room...
Qianye turned his head slightly, looking away from Peilan's ears and looking towards the dark underground passage.
He pointed at Perrin's cigar and pushed it forward a little harder.
"No lights?"
"No, no...there are no installations inside. We all go down with candles."
Perrin was very unsettled.
The tone didn't sound deceptive.
Adhering to the rule of giving priority to ladies, Qianye picked up the candle on the study table and handed it to Peilan, hoping that she would take the lead...
In the underground secret room.
The temperature is much lower than outside.
Even though Qianye was wearing two pieces of clothing, his body was chilled by the temperature here.
And Peilan was only wearing a nightgown.
It was so cold that my teeth chattered...
This sound is very unpleasant to hear.
It destroyed Perrin's beautiful, dignified and elegant image in Qian Zhi.
"When was this basement built? What was it intended to be used for when it was first built?" Qianye asked Peilan in front of him while walking in the passage.
"I don't know. This house originally belonged to my father. He told me that it was used to hide from disasters when the war started. Of course, if it had any other uses, I really don't know."
I can tell.
Under Qianye's threat, Peilan had no intention of resisting...
A simple inquiry.
She told everything she knew and what needed to be added.
After all, this role is played by the victim.
She couldn't quite fit the character.
It’s natural to be afraid…
The current situation has shown that the other party should not have the task of "not letting anyone know their secrets".
Otherwise, even if he is pointed at a gun, Perrin will make temporary resistance.
For example, after entering the dark basement.
She can do it.
After all, Qianye is not familiar with this place, so it is the most advantageous place for her to resist...
But since it was not made.
Then her mission is probably to "try not to let anyone know her secret"...
"To avoid disaster?"
Qianye murmured.
She was thinking about whether Peilan's father was lying to her or if he was really doing this.
This kind of era.
It’s actually not uncommon to build a basement to escape war or something like that...
Walk through the narrow passage.
The scene before Qianye finally became clear.
Under the light of the candle flame, a tomb lay quietly in the basement.
There are photos and descriptions on the tombstone.
Qianye could barely see the name written on it with the help of the faint firelight——
Brown.
And the photo posted on it.
Surprisingly, it was someone Qianye knew.
"Park Yunjin?"
"Brown is the character he plays?"
