Chapter 285
In the dressing room, Xiao Lou quickly figured out the answer to the drawer lock .
The layout of the jewelry was regular and the necklaces were placed from short to long . The earrings were from the smallest studs to the longest dangling earrings . Then the arrangement of the jewelry numbers should follow the rule of short to long .
Among the three types of jewelry, the earrings were the shortest . Then it was the bracelets and the necklaces . Therefore, the order of the password should be earrings, bracelets and necklaces . This was 1675 .
The drawer was a four digit rotating lock . Xiao Lou rotated the numbers to 1675 . Sure enough, there was a click and the lock was successfully opened .
He opened the drawer and found a 30 cm long jewelry box in the drawer . The red velvet cloth looked a bit old and it was tied with a red ribbon in a beautiful bow . He opened the box and saw a necklace lying inside, but the chain was a bit yellow . There was a space below with a piece of paper stuffed inside . It read: For my beloved . I hope you will always be as young and beautiful as you are when you are 18 . I will always love you .
Xiao Lou handed the necklace to Qu Wanyue . Teacher Qu, can you tell what material this is?
Qu Wanyue said, Platinum has a much better gloss and isnt prone to rust . Silver chains tend to turn yellow after a long time due to oxidation . This necklace looks more like a silver chain . The pendant in the middle might be jade but it isnt transparent at all and the color is average . It should be a bargain necklace that can be bought for a few hundred yuan at the mall .
She looked back at the jewelry on the table .
The five necklaces on the left were shining brightly under the light . The first sapphire necklace was very valuable at first glance and was suitable for wearing with various dresses . There were also two diamond necklaces with huge diamonds that dazzled peoples eyes . They probably cost at least several hundred thousand yuan . In addition, the two jade pendants were crystal clear and one of them was probably fine jade .
The silver necklace locked in the drawer looked particularly poor compared to these luxurious jewelry . Due to age, the silver chain had oxidized and yellowed . The heart-shaped jade pendant also seemed covered with a layer of dust .
Xiao Lou frowned slightly . This chain must have a special meaning to the hostess . She is so rich and has so much precious jewelry . Why bother locking a cheap silver chain in a drawer?
Long Sen speculated, Looking at this note, it seems to be a gift from her 18th birthday so it has special significance . An 18 year old student has no source of income so isnt it natural to be unable to afford jewelry? Students often give silver chains since diamonds are too expensive .
Xiao Lou nodded . Yes, this necklace probably wasnt given by her husband . 18 years old is a normal age for first love .
Qu Wanyue also agreed . This should be something very important that her first love gave her . She didnt dare let her husband find it so she locked it in the bottom drawer .
Most men wouldnt idly go through their wifes jewelry table in the dressing room . The hostess secretly locked this necklace in a bottom drawer and it was difficult for her husband Wells to find it . She wouldnt have to hide it if this necklace was from her husband .
Combined with the clues suggested by the previous Dream Wedding and The Lover, Xiao Lou felt his deduction was close to the truth . The hostess is happily married and has a happy family but she has an unforgettable first love in her heart . As described in the novel The Lover, the male and female protagonists married other people for family reasons but they always loved each other .
Old Mo had a headache . Marrying one person but thinking of another . Isnt this completely unfair to her husband?

The three of them stared at Xiao Lou . Professor Xiao, you seem to understand this quite well?
Xiao Lou touched his nose and explained, It is just a theoretical analysis . I have never been in love .
Qu Wanyue joked, Listening to your analysis, I thought you also have a white moonlight you cant forget .
Yu Hanjiang could hear Xiao Lous conversation through the heart channel . He couldnt help whispering, Is there?
Xiao Lou was startled . What?
Yu Hanjiang was serious . A white moonlight .
Xiao Lou immediately explained . It is a theoretical analysis . I have never been in a relationship and dont have anyone I am unable to forget .
Yu Hanjiang sighed with relief . Oh, thats good .
Then he changed the subject before Xiao Lou could feel doubts . Your speculation is very reasonable . The hostess should have an unforgettable first love but she ultimately married Wells . Perhaps it was forced by her circumstances . Her true love could never forget her but couldnt get her love . In the end, he committed a cruel act .
Xiao Lou was concerned . Have you solved the password? Are there any new clues?
It is solved and we found a book of doodles . Ill show it to you later .
It was Ye Qi who figured out the password to the childs room .
The key clue to this was the sentence on the wall: The lifespan of a tree is much greater than that of a human . If I can become a tree, how good would it be? I could get enough to eat in the sun every day .
There was a logical order in this sentence . The lifespan of a tree was greater than that of humans . Those with a greater longevity were ranked first .
The toys in the room had been sorted and classified, their specific numbers determined . The thing he was unsure of was their order . The only thing related to order in the entire room was the sentence on the wall .
The lifespan was the key to sorting the numbers .
The five types of rag dolls were 5 Mickey Mouse, 6 little bears, 3 turtles, 7 Snow White and 8 bunnies .
A tortoise had the longest lifespan and some could live up to 200 years . Humans were second since they had an average lifespan of 70-80 years . Bears usually lived for 20-30 years, rabbits for 10 years and mice had the shortest lifespan of 2-3 years .
According to the rule of longevity, the order of the toys was: turtle, Snow White , bears, rabbits and Mickey Mouse .
This also matched the rule that the tortoise was before the rabbit based on the drawing of the tortoise and the hare .
The password was: 37685 .
Ye Qis logic was complete and Yu Hanjiang entered the password into the door lock of the cabinet . Sure enough, it opened . A little girls doodling book was found in the cabinet . Yu Hanjiang picked it up and saw that images in it were extremely creative . Lucia had a talent for drawing and recorded all the details of her familys life in the form of doodles .
This picture book should be drawn before she moved into the villa .
The first page was a drawing of her and her father going out for a picnic . The second page was her father taking her to the amusement park, a movie, her father accompanying her on her birthday… in these pictures, her mother rarely appeared . Perhaps her mother was abroad for her performances .
Lucia also wrote on one of the pages: Mom loves the piano more than she loves me .
The last page showed her moving into a new home with her parents . In front of the five storey villa, a man and a woman were holding her hand . There was a truck from the moving company and next to it were two people, one man and a woman who came to help .
This picture book connected with Lucias diary . The picture book recorded her life before the move and the diary was written after the move .
Judging from the last drawing, apart from her parents and Lucia, two other people came that day to help move . The diary showed that the nanny and driver were only hired after the move so the people in the picture couldnt be the staff . They were more likely to be her parents friends .
Yu Hanjiang pointed to the drawing . These two people are very important . They came to the villa on the day of the move and can understand the layout of the villa in advance . This murder case was obviously premeditated . It is difficult for people who have never been to the villa before to kill and then leave . freewebnovel.c
It was impossible for those unfamiliar with the environment to accurately come to the little girls bedroom and poison Lucia .
The two people in Lucias drawing must be part of the five people invited to the Christmas Eve party . She had seen them a long time ago so when they entered her room to change her medicine, she wasnt too alert .
Yu Hanjiang put away the book and asked Xiao Lou, The cabinet code has been unlocked but the door of the room hasnt opened . How do we get out?
The moment he spoke, the wooden board at the back of the cabinet suddenly opened on both sides and a passage appeared . At the same time, a passage also appeared at the back of a closet in the dressing room . Everyone moved forward along the passage and after passing a corner, they actually saw their teammates .
Ye Qi exclaimed with pleased surprise, The passages from the two rooms are connected? Grouping can really save a lot of time!
Old Mo rubbed his pained head . Piano, bookcase, wardrobe… everything is so messy . It should be a labyrinth of mechanisms that A of Diamonds temporarily remodeled using the familys villa .
Xiao Lou asked, Old Mo, can you tell the space and direction?
Mo Xuemin had been drawing on the paper since entering the labyrinth . He heard this and took out the image he drew . The dream room we entered was on the same floor as the little girls bedroom . Based on the window layout, it should be the second floor . The piano room and study are also on the second floor . We went up a flight of stairs from the study so the hostess dressing room and the childs toy room are on the third floor .
Now they were once again going down the stairs . Old Mo stared at the spiral staircase in front of him . From the length of this staircase, we are currently heading to the first floor .
Xiao Lou was immediately alert .
Usually, a party took place on the first floor of a villa where there was a dining room and kitchen for everyone to eat and chat . It was very likely there would be a major discovery on the first floor and it would also be the most difficult level in the secret room .
Xiao Lou glanced at Yu Hanjiang and said, Lets go . Everyone, be careful where you step .
The group walked down the spiral staircase for a while and saw a glass door . Xiao Lou opened the door gently . Sure enough, they walked into a luxurious living room .
The middle of the living room contained a Christmas tree full of colorful lights . It was two meters high and very grand . There are many of Santas red stockings hanging from it and the balloons on the wall spelled out Merry Christmas . The host and hostess obviously put a lot of thought into this Christmas Eve party .
The living room was a mess . The pillows on the sofa were thrown to the ground and the table was covered in snack bags .
The long table in the dining room contained seven red wine glasses and some empty wine bottles were scattered on the ground . There were also many unfinished fruits and pastries thrown on the plates on the table .
This scene was like a mess that hadnt been cleaned up yet after a party . Most notably, a man lay motionless on the sofa in the midst of the mess .
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang exchanged looks and stepped forward . Sure enough, it was the husband, Wells . He was already dead .
