Chapter 212 The Phantom in the Painting 15

【Phantom in the painting-15】

Xu Yishen is a student majoring in genetic engineering at the Academy of Biological Sciences, and he is very familiar with the laws of genetic inheritance. Autosomal inheritance is divided into "dominant inheritance" and "recessive inheritance". When both parents are aa recessive genes, the child has a 100% probability of being aa genotype.In other words, there is no way the couple in the family photo are Leah's biological parents.

Xu Yishen pointed to another family photo and said: "Xingwen and Heping Ce are right. Roland and his wife both have single eyelids, and they are Leah's biological parents. A few family photos are just for us to find out the key!"

Yue Xingwen guessed: "Perhaps, the Rolands lost their daughter back then. It may be that they accidentally hugged the wrong child with another family's child after giving birth in the hospital. In the end, Leah was sent to the orphanage and was taken away by the couple. adoption?"

Jiang Pingce also agreed with this speculation: "Judging from the attitude of Leah's parents towards her, the couple knew that she was not their own. They probably couldn't have children at first, so they adopted Leah from an orphanage. After having his own son, he turned a blind eye to this adopted daughter and was extremely indifferent."

Lin Manluo sighed softly: "There are many examples like this in reality. Leah is so pitiful."

Zhuo Feng pointed to the family portrait in the painting: "Look at the family portrait of Roland's family. The two girls, Daisy and Alice, both have double eyelids, while the Roland couple have single eyelids. According to the law of genetic inheritance, these two daughters are not biological. of?"

Xu Yishen nodded: "That's right. The double eyelids are at least the Aa genotype, but the Roland couple are both aa recessive genes, and it is impossible to have a daughter with a dominant gene expression. Therefore, Daisy and Alice may also be adopted."

Ke Shaobin adjusted his glasses, recorded the relationship between these characters in his laptop, and concluded: "That means Daisy and Alice were adopted, and Leah is the real daughter of the Roland family. In Leah's After her adoptive parents die, not only can she get the inheritance left by her adoptive parents, but she also found her biological parents, who may also leave her a large amount of property?"

Xin Yan said coldly: "Her death is most likely not for love - but for money."

Liu Zhaoqing agreed and said: "The three corpses we found in the garden are the Rolands and Leah, they are the family of three whose blood is thicker than water, so who will benefit the most after the death of the Rolands and Leah? "

Everyone looked at each other and concluded at the same time: "Daisy, Sister Alice."

Because, nominally, the sisters are still the daughters of the Roland couple, and from a legal point of view, they both have the right to inherit property.Roland's family can set off millions of fireworks for their little grandson's birthday, and put on a fireworks show, which shows that they have strong financial resources.

If the Rolands made a will in private, or privately promised to leave a huge amount of property to their daughter Leah in the future, it is logically reasonable for the two daughters, Daisy and Alice, to murder Leah after knowing about it.

Replacement and exchange are not necessarily for feelings, but may also be for status and property.

The identity of the "true daughter" of the Roland couple and the huge property under their names are the key.The Rolands were also killed by the murderer, and they looked like they were silenced. This is enough to prove that the murderer wanted to bury the secret underground, and the possibility of embezzling property was extremely high.

After thinking of this, Yue Xingwen immediately changed his investigation thinking: "We haven't found the body of Leah's cat, and the murderer couldn't have kindly adopted Leah's cat. The bugging device on the cat's neck must be there. Lots of clues."

Zhang Xiaonian suddenly whispered: "Brother, this villa looks like it should have four floors from the outside, but we walked up the stairs from the inside, and the entrance on the second floor was blocked by the painting "Mona Lisa", which always blocked us Teleported to a different illusion, there is no staircase leading to the third floor. Could there be other clues on the third and fourth floors?"

Yue Xingwen patted his junior brother on the shoulder with a smile: "I think so too. The stairs inside the villa are like portals in the game. Every time we pass a flight of stairs, we will be teleported to a different space. The third and fourth floors You can't go up the stairs." He pointed to the window on the wall and said, "We can go up through the window."

The outer walls of the villa are very smooth and difficult to climb, but for a group of students with supernatural powers, this is not a problem at all.As soon as Jiang Pingce raised his right hand, he used the coordinate system to send everyone to the sky, staying on the third floor.

Yue Xingwen tried to open the window, but found that the window was locked. He simply took out the "Dictionary of Idioms" and smashed it hard, smashing the window directly, and then nimbly rolled into the room, and other students quickly followed.

There is a corridor in front of the window on the third floor, with a large bedroom on the left and right sides, and a leisure area in the middle with a piano.In order to prevent everyone from getting separated again, Yue Xingwen simply called his teammates to enter the room on the left together.

This is Daisy's bedroom. There are many single photos of her hanging on the wall of the bedroom. The independent cloakroom is full of long dresses of various colors. The four girls immediately went to the wardrobe, while the boys searched in other areas. clue.

Yue Xingwen found a file bag from the bedside table. It was Daisy who asked a private detective to investigate Rhodes' contract, as well as some photos that the detective found.In the photo, Rhodes hugged a young and beautiful woman intimately. The woman had a pair of clear blue eyes, not Leah.

Jiang Pingce found a box from the bedside table on the other side. Inside was a diamond necklace. Inside the box was a greeting card that said "For my favorite girl, Daisy", and the signature was not Rhodes either.Jiang Pingce handed the box to everyone and said, "It should be from Daisy's first love."

Yue Xingwen frowned and said: "This couple seems to be in the same bed with different dreams. The man is raising a mistress outside, and the woman is entangled with her first love. She still keeps the gift from her first love?"

At this moment, Lin Manluo said: "Most of the wardrobe is Daisy's skirts, and there are a few sets of children's clothes, but there is no male clothes. Doesn't Rhodes live here?"

Yue Xingwen was stunned, and measured the room carefully. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said, "This villa is not the residence of Daisy and Rhodes, but the residence of her natal family—the Rolands!"

Jiang Pingce said: "That's right. When we saw Daisy taking the child to plant sunflowers in the garden, we took it for granted that this was her residence. In fact, Daisy took the child back to her parents' house."

Yue Xingwen looked back at Pin Ce: "So, the other room is probably where my sister Alice lives?"

Jiang Pingce said: "After searching this room, go over there and have a look."

Everyone searched Daisy's room from beginning to end, but found no more clues, so they turned and went to the room on the right.Sure enough, there was a picture frame on the table in this room, and the girl in it was Alice.

The drawer was locked, and Liu Zhaoqing directly sawed it open with a chainsaw, and found a diary inside. Ke Shaobin opened the diary curiously, and said, "This is the diary written by Alice in middle school!"

Liu Zhaoqing said: "She didn't take this diary with her when she married Jack. It may be that there are a lot of her secrets recorded in the diary. She is afraid that her husband will find out."

Yue Xingwen took the diary and read it carefully.

Alice complained a lot about her sister in her diary: "Daisy is not as good as me at all. She even bought the same limited-edition dress as me and collided with me at my graduation party. She must have done it on purpose!" "Today is her wedding. She married Rhodes, the eldest son of the Brown family. I really don't know why Rhodes fell in love with her..."

A lot of ironic content in the diary vividly expresses the inner darkness of the seemingly cute girl.

In addition, she also recorded the senior she fell in love with for the first time in high school. In her diary, she was full of praise for this senior, from facial features to talent and emotional intelligence. In her eyes, the senior was simply a perfect prince.

There is also a record of the exchange of groups between the summer camp and Leah. She finally commented: "A proud guy like Leah is really annoying."

Ke Shaobin helplessly raised his forehead: "No matter what, Leah helped her back then, right? She just didn't thank her, and she complained in her diary. This girl's psychology is really dark, and she praises handsome boys all kinds of things. Other girls A little more beautiful, it seems that even breathing is wrong?"

Liu Zhaoqing said: "It may be that she was spoiled by her parents since she was a child. The princess is too sick and thinks that she is the best. Other girls should stand aside, including her sister."

On the last page of the diary, she recorded her pre-marriage feelings, in which she said: "I know Jack is a playboy, and his private life is very chaotic. Even if I bring my mistress to me, I don't bother with him."

Lin Manluo was amazed: "These three views are simple. I think she looks like a murderer who kills people for money."

Lan Yarong lowered her head and thought carefully for a moment, then said: "Brothers Rhodes and Jack are the second generation of wealthy families. How the Roland family's money is distributed has nothing to do with them. Their motives for committing crimes are not very sufficient, so, Did the murderer choose between the two sisters?"

Jiang Pingce said calmly: "Not necessarily. Don't forget, Leah was buried in the rose garden. This garden was originally planted with sunflowers, which was planted by Daisy and her son, and later changed to black roses." , I don't think it's a coincidence."

Qin Miao said: "The flower language of the black rose is 'you are the devil, and you belong to me', and it has a strong desire for exclusiveness. It is a flower that expresses love. If the murderers are Daisy and Alice, these two girls You can't have a crush on Leah, can you?"

Ke Shaobin nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that these two sisters don't look like Lily either."

Xin Yan was puzzled: "Lily? What does it have to do with roses?"

Ke Shaobin coughed lightly, and said, "You don't even know this? Lily means that girls like girls."

Xin Yan said blankly, "You know too much."

Ke Shaobin looked around innocently, and found that Xingwen also looked blank, as if he didn't know the meaning of Lily.

Qin Lu said: "That is to say, Daisy and Alice don't look like homosexuals in terms of performance, and they can't have a crush on Leah, so it is still possible that the murderer who killed Leah was among the brothers Rhodes and Jack? Then Isn’t it wrong to kill people for the right of inheritance just now?”

Yue Xingwen suddenly asked: "The murderer who killed the Roland couple must be the same murderer as the murderer who killed Leah?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Jiang Pingce quickly followed Xingwen's train of thought: "When we found the three bodies, they were indeed buried together, so we took it for granted that this was a serial murder case, and the murderer killed three people in one go. But don't forget The corpses we found have all decomposed, leaving only white bones, and it is impossible to determine the exact time and cause of death."

Yue Xingwen said: "This case may have to be split into two lines for analysis. The death of the Rolands may be caused by sisters Daisy and Alice. When they learn that their parents are going to leave the inheritance to Leah, they may also be very angry with their parents. Murderous intentions? Leah's death is related to brothers Jack and Rhodes, and they buried her in the black rose garden to express their paranoid and perverted love?"

Everyone looked at each other, and their minds suddenly became clear.

The three bodies are put together, but the murderer is most likely not the same.
