Original sin

Tao Min felt that Liu Bai's mood in the past two days was not right, he was often absent-minded at home, and he seemed to be absent-minded when talking to him.

"Old Liu, what's the matter with you?" Tao Min asked as he handed him a cup of freshly ground coffee.

Liu Bai took the coffee and smiled slightly: "It's nothing, I thought of some creative things."

Tao Min rolled her eyes: "You, the only thing in my heart is creation. When is the time, you still can't let go of your creation." Tao Min said so, but she was still a little suspicious in her heart. Liu Bai is an obsessed The person who created Yu was right, but since the incident with Xie Changqing happened, Liu Bai hardly had much thought about creating anything. For such a long time, he stayed at home most of the time, although occasionally he would take a look at the creation However, most of the time, she just stayed like this, accompanying her or letting her accompany her.

And she found that the reason why Liu Bai's mood changed like this should be after the recording studio caught fire, especially after Shen Chen found the brooch at the scene.

That brooch is very similar to the one that Ye Qingzhu often uses, what does the appearance of that brooch mean?And she heard from the police that it was confirmed that the brooch was just a fake and did not belong to Ye Qingzhu.

She didn't believe that Liu Bai would have any secrets with Ye Qingzhu. Liu Bai was a very traditional man, and he was always conservative in the relationship between men and women. Even when he got together with him, it was more of his own initiative.But why did Liu Bai undergo such a change?

Tao Min couldn't figure it out.

At this moment the doorbell rang, and the couple looked at each other. Tao Min got up and walked to the door, and looked out through the cat's eye. The people who came were Huang Meng and a young policeman.

Tao Min opened the door, the police must have come to the door at this time for something.

"Officer Huang, what's the matter again?" Tao Min asked with a smile, but Liu Bai seemed a little panicked, but the nervous expression flashed by, and even Tao Min didn't notice it.

"There are some things, but nothing serious."

Tao Min asked Huang Meng and Huang Meng to sit down, and asked them if they would like tea or coffee. Huang Meng said that there was no need to work, they just asked a few questions and left, and Tao Min made tea for them.

Putting two cups of tea on the table, Tao Min sat down next to Liu Bai.

She felt Liu Bai's body tremble, she held Liu Bai's hand, and Liu Bai calmed down a lot.

"Do you remember this brooch?" Huang Meng didn't show any extra politeness, and directly took out the brooch found at the fire scene and put it on the table.

Tao Min frowned: "Of course I remember, this should be the one found in the fire scene of the recording studio, right?"

Huang Meng nodded: "That's right, it's that one. At that time, you said that Ye Qingzhu also had a brooch that looked exactly the same, but we asked Professor Wang later that Ye Qingzhu's brooch was still in the house. This brooch It's not Ye Qingzhu's one."

Tao Min said: "We all know about this, why, is there any problem?"

Liu Bai didn't speak all the time, just sat so quietly, Tao Min kept paying attention to Liu Bai, she felt that something was wrong with Liu Bai, especially when Huang Meng took out the brooch, although Liu Bai looked normal, But she could feel that Liu Bai's palms were sweating. She knew Liu Bai too well, which showed that Liu Bai seemed a little nervous at the moment.

"We've been wondering why the arsonist left such a brooch. Does it have any specific meaning?" Huang Meng paused, and Tao Min said softly, "What's the meaning?"

Huang Meng smiled wryly: "I've thought about it for a long time, and I think there is only one explanation that fits, that is, the reason why the murderer set the fire and left this brooch behind is to remind someone, maybe he thought it was possible He is the one who killed Ye Qingzhu, he will avenge Ye Qingzhu."

Tao Min stood up immediately: "You mean Ye Qingzhu's death was not as simple as robbery and murder?"

"It does look like robbery and murder, a random accident of a robber, but now it seems that it should not be, otherwise this person would not do it. And judging from his behavior, he is determined to kill Ye Qingzhu The murderer is in your music studio, and he set fire and left this brooch to tell the murderer to prepare for his revenge."

Liu Bai licked his somewhat dry lips: "Is it necessary to issue such a warning even if he wants revenge? He is not afraid to scare the snake, and the other party will be on guard by then?"

Huang Meng said indifferently: "There are only those who are thieves every day, how can anyone defend against thieves every day? Even if you want to defend against you, you have to be able to defend against them, right? And what the other party did was originally a deterrent. The other party not only wanted revenge, And mentally destroy his target."

Liu Bai shook his head: "I think this is just your conjecture, it's too crazy, it's impossible. What's the situation in the studio now? They still go to the studio to make trouble, they should know, now you police But if you keep a close eye on the studio, how could you choose to attack the people in the studio?"

Huang Meng sighed: "Mr. Liu, these are completely different things, and a person who is sincere in revenge will not think about it so much. Even if he knows that the police are watching the studio closely, he will not give up. He just wants to give up. He will think about how to avoid alarming the police, or how to respond even if the police are alarmed. In short, this is the logical thinking that a revenger should have. And judging from his means, his revenge should be very It's ritualistic."

After listening to him, Tao Min asked: "So, did you come to us just to confirm whether this signal of revenge was sent to me and Lao Liu, that is to say, you suspect me or Lao Liu will be The murderer who killed Ye Qingzhu, or both of us are suspected?"

Huang Meng really meant something like this, he just wanted to see Ye Liu and Tao Min's reaction after hearing that the other party wanted revenge from the court, whether it was panic or something else.

Liu Bai also said: "You don't think we killed Ye Qingzhu, do you?"

Huang Meng didn't speak, but quietly picked up the cup of tea in front of him, blew on it and took a sip.

Liu Bai continued: "Ye Qingzhu is the teacher's wife, that is, my little teacher's wife. Regardless of her age, she is a teacher's wife, and she has no enmity with us at all. How could we do that?"

This is exactly what Huang Meng couldn't understand. If the police suspected that Liu Bai had killed Xie Changqing, it would have made sense. In terms of creative ideas, neither of them can agree.

But these two points alone do not mean that Liu Baizhen will do that.

But now someone sent a brooch again, which seems to be a provocation, but who is the target of the other party?

Huang Meng found that the performance of the two couples was very calm, maybe the target of the other party was not them, and he might have thought too much.

"Do you two know who else in the studio had conflicts with Ye Qingzhu, or what conflicts there are?"

Facing Huang Meng's question, Liu Bai smiled wryly before saying: "Although Ye Qingzhu bought shares in the studio through Xie Changqing at the time, she didn't really go to the studio much. She is not good at it, and she is not a person who likes to conduct blindly. For her, what she values ​​more is whether the studio can bring her benefits. In addition, she is the wife of a teacher, and the music studio is some People in the circle, everyone knows very well that if they want to hang out in the Lincheng circle, they cannot avoid the teacher, so how could they do such a thing before they even have time to flatter them?"

Liu Bai was right. Isn't it because of her special status that Ye Qingzhu was able to become a shareholder of the studio?Most of the people in the studio are musicians, and they all know in their hearts that if they can play music in Qianzhou with Wang Chaoyi, their future will be bright, so many of them want to follow Ye Qingzhu's path.

"Alright then, contact me when you think of something."

Huang Meng didn't stay too long, he still wanted to ask other people in the studio.

Tao Min sent them to the gate of the courtyard and watched them drive away. When she turned around and went back to the house, she saw the brooch that Huang Meng left on the table. It seemed that Huang Meng forgot to take it away. Tao Min knew that this thing would become an important evidence in the hands of the police. She picked it up and was about to chase it out, but thought about how she could chase the car, so she gave up and called Huang Meng directly.

"Officer Huang, you left that brooch at my house."

Huang Meng on the phone was stunned for a moment: "No, I put it away when I left, and it's in my hand now." Tao Min was startled when she heard Huang Meng say this, and she looked at it again. Look at this brooch in your hand.

Huang Meng asked on the other end of the phone: "What's the matter? Do you really have a brooch?"

It was only then that Tao Min realized that Liu Bai, who was supposed to be sitting in a daze in the living room, was not there, so he went to send Huang Meng out of the yard by himself, where did he go in the blink of an eye?And where did this brooch come from?

"Oh, it's okay. I read it wrong. I was worried that this is an important evidence. It would be nice if I lost it."

Huang Meng smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can't lose it."

After hanging up the phone, Tao Min called out: "Old Liu, Lao Liu!"

Liu Bai's voice came from the study: "I'm in the study."

Tao Min walked into the study: "Old Liu, where did this come from?"

Liu Bai saw the brooch in Tao Min's hand, and his face became a little ugly: "This, isn't this the one that Police Officer Huang showed us just now? Didn't he take it away? How could he leave such an important thing behind?" ?”

Tao Min said seriously: "Lao Liu, there are only two of us in the room now, so can you tell me the truth, where did this thing come from? He has already taken the one that Officer Huang took out. I saw it on the table after I sent them away, did you put it there?"

Liu Bai finally nodded.

Tao Min asked: "Now, what is going on here?"

Liu Bai lowered his head: "I don't know what to say, so I put the brooch there. I know you have always been a smart person, and you should be able to guess something when you see this thing. The brooch was found in my car. Didn’t I go to Dachanglong yesterday morning? When I got out of the supermarket and got on the car, I saw it on the window glass of my car, shining brightly.”

"So Officer Huang is right. This brooch is really a signal of revenge? And this signal is aimed at you? Can I think so, you killed Ye Qingzhu?"

Liu Bai's face was pale: "I, I don't know."

Tao Min's eyes widened: "What do you mean you don't know?"

Liu Bai pursed his lips: "Because I really don't know, it's just that there seemed to be a scene in my mind where I stabbed her to death, but that was just an illusion, wasn't it? Besides, when Ye Qingzhu died Didn't you stay at home with me?"

Tao Min thought it was indeed the case, they were all at home that night, how could Liu Bai have the opportunity to go out and kill someone, the other party must have made a mistake and settled the blame on Liu Bai.

If Liu Bai really took the blame, and those people were anxious to avenge Ye Qingzhu, they might put the blame on Liu Bai or even themselves.

"No, you have to tell the police about this."

Liu Bai stopped Tao Min who wanted to call Huang Meng: "Forget it, don't call, let's have a look first."

Tao Min calmed down and felt that making this call now would not solve any problems. The most urgent task now is to find out who the other party is. Since the other party has repeatedly threatened the court, it means that it should not be far away from taking action.Now that the police are secretly protecting them, Tao Min believes that the other party should not be able to do anything to them.

But she still felt that Liu Bai was hiding something from her, and she had to find a way to find out what Liu Bai was hiding from her, and whether it had anything to do with the deaths of Ye Qingzhu or Xie Changqing.

In short, she felt that Liu Bai was a little abnormal these two days.
