We didn’t dare to look at that painting anymore.
But I'm still curious, who is the bride in that painting?
It is rumored that Du Ruhai's wife died many years ago, and he never married again.
But I only heard this from others.
As for whether Du Ruhai has any children, those people seem to have never heard of it.
If we hadn't been investigating the girl who knocked on the door, we wouldn't have even known that Du Ruhai had an adopted daughter.
From this point of view, Du Ruhai protected his own privacy, and even Du Yuwei's privacy very well.
Even his recent marriage was so secretive that no one in the industry knew about it.
If a big businessman like him gets married, it should be on the local news if not talked about much, right?
Master Qi also turned his head at this time, looked around the entire living room and said: "In this villa, there are only traces of Du Ruhai's life, and there is no other person."
Hearing Master Qi's words, we felt strange again.
"Where is his wife?" Meng Yifan blurted out: "He has married a new wife, doesn't he live with his wife?"
Master Qi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
In fact, after listening to what Master Qi just said, I already had a bold guess in my mind.
I think I probably know who the bride is.
But I'm embarrassed to say it.
"No normal person would hang an evil painting in their home."
Master Qi frowned and said, "I'm afraid this Du Ruhai is more than just a businessman. He is a bit evil. You should be careful."
After reminding us again, Master Qi led us directly to the second floor.
He speculated that there were only traces of Du Ruhai's life in this villa. Du Ruhai was now in another province, so there should be no one else in this villa now.
Then we don't have to be too guilty.
We checked all the rooms on the second floor and sure enough, no one lived here.
Although there was no one there, Du Yuwei's body was not found.
Now only the third floor and the attic above the third floor remain.
Master Qi walked in front again and led us to the third floor.
I looked at his back, and suddenly I had an illusion. I always felt... He seemed to have been to this place.
He seemed to be very familiar with everything here, especially when we just entered the villa and couldn't tell the direction at all, he led us directly around to the outside of the toilet room on the first floor.
It's not like my villain's heart can judge a gentleman's belly. I really feel that he has been there.
I couldn't help but feel a little scared and had a terrible idea.
Will this seventh master know Du Ruhai...
But I thought about it carefully. Even though Master Qi is an expert, apart from his status as an expert, he is still an ordinary person like us, and he still lives in a small flat building.
Can he interact with entrepreneurs like Du Ruhai?
I comforted myself, maybe I was overthinking, Master Qi had been helping me and Meng Yifan, how could I doubt him?
Moreover, he was introduced by Brother Liu, so he shouldn’t try to punish us...
Soon, we reached the third floor again.
The layout of the third floor is somewhat different from the second floor.
There are seven rooms on the second floor, including bedrooms and study rooms.
But there is only one room on the third floor, and the remaining space is a large living room.
We made a visual inspection and found that the living room on the third floor only occupies less than half of the area on the third floor, and the rest of the area is occupied by that room.
In this way, the space in that room must be very large, but there is a lock on the door, so we can't enter for the time being.
"Every room on the second floor is unlocked, except this room."
I looked at Qi Ye and Meng Yifan: "There should be something locked inside, something important to Du Ruhai."
Meng Yifan's eyes lit up: "Could Du Yuwei's body be here?"
I said, "This door is locked, and we can't open it. To dismantle it violently, at least hydraulic shears are needed, but where are we going to get this?"
At this time, Master Qi suddenly pulled us apart and took out a piece of wire from his pocket.
He took the wire and thrust it into the keyhole.
Those skillful movements were astonishingly skillful.
"Master Qi, what did you do before..." Meng Yifan and I were a little curious.
While poking, Master Qi looked left and right with a sly look: "When I was young, I learned to open locks for two years."
The way he shakes his head seems to me like the man who was arrested for theft in our hometown and has not yet been released.
But I have to say that the skill he learned is definitely professional.
The lock soon made a clicking sound.
In less than a minute, Master Qi opened the lock.
He gently placed the lock on the ground and blurted out: "You guys will keep watch for me outside..."
"Master Qi, there is no one in this villa..." I reminded him.
He was stunned for a moment and coughed twice: "Well, let's go in together."
After saying that, he opened the door.
The moment the door opened, we saw a dense mass of red, like an unfolding picture scroll, coming into our eyes.
We just wanted to go in, but we were instantly frozen in place.
Because...we saw Du Yuwei's body.
She was sitting opposite us... wearing a red wedding dress, with a red hijab on her head, and behind her was a big word '囍'.
The whole room was decorated in bright red, with red tablecloths, red curtains, and burning red candles...
This scene is eerily familiar.
Isn't this the scene that Meng Yifan and I saw on that evil painting?
It’s exactly the same!
And in this room, there were even guests who came to congratulate them, but those guests... were not living people at all, but paper figures.
It's the kind of paper figurine you'd find in a paper shop.
The only difference between the entire wedding scene and that evil painting was that there was no groom and one chair was empty.
Seeing such a weird scene, my legs felt a little weak.
It turns out that the evil painting was painted here...
"This bride, she...isn't she Du Ruhai's new wife? His wife is also dead?"
Meng Yifan seemed to be stunned by this scene. He didn't even realize who the bride was.
But the bride must be a dead person. Although she is covered with a red hijab, the hands exposed are already blue and purple.
Looking at Master Qi's expression, he seemed to have guessed the bride's identity just like me.
He was more courageous than the two of us. After hesitating for a few seconds, he walked over directly, stretched out his right hand, and uncovered the bride's red hijab.
A dead face soon came into our eyes again.
After seeing the bride's appearance, Meng Yifan was so frightened that he almost knelt down and grabbed my shoulders.
This bride is the girl we saw knocking on the door before.
It's Du Yuwei...
