679: How to say it?
Through investigation, Gao Xiang and Lyon discovered that only agents knew the specific details of this transaction.
And the appearance of Su Yue and Wang Linlin was precisely during Isher's previous case. The two of them came into contact with the n-shaped file and communicated with Isher.
Based on this, Gao Xiang found Su Yue's weakness and discussed with Lyon how to use the opportunity to decrypt the n-shaped file to delay Su Yue at the Central Intelligence Agency without alarming him, and look for an opportunity to pursue him.
However, Su Yue and Wang Linlin were completely unaware of this at the time. They were fully focused on processing the n-shaped file in their hands.
This case involved the Gypsies. When they arrived at the manor, they found the victim's younger sister, Sven, crying.
Wang Linlin walked over to try to ask about the situation, but Sven just stared at Wang Linlin with wide eyes and then ran back to her room.
Su Yue didn't understand why and didn't speak rashly.
The butler who received them took them to the victim's room, but found Sven lying in her sister Svea's room.
The butler explained that since Sven's room was being renovated, she was temporarily staying in her sister's room.
Wang Linlin keenly sensed Sven's fragility and found a way to dismiss the butler. She said to Sven, "You can trust us. We are here to investigate your sister's case."
At the same time, Su Yue began to carefully observe every detail of this house.
After observing, he came outside the manor. This manor was large, but most areas were where the servants lived. The master's residence was only on the top two floors.
The rooms of the victims, Svea and Sven, were adjacent, and Svea's room was also next to their stepfather's.
In short, Svea's room was in the middle, with Sven's and the stepfather's rooms on either side of Svea's. The three rooms all faced a corridor and the lawn outside.
"Excuse me, Isher Miss Sven getting engaged?" Su Yue asked the maid who was cleaning the room.
"Yes." The maid originally didn't want to pay attention to Su Yue, but seeing him, who was playing Cui Minhe, handsome and charming, she couldn't help but answer.
"Then why does she look so unhappy? Isher it because the groom doesn't satisfy her?" Su Yue looked at the luxurious setting before him and couldn't help but wonder, did this family still need to maintain a superficial appearance through their daughter's marriage?
The maid quietly approached Su Yue and whispered, "Actually, Miss Sven Isher quite satisfied with the marriage. It was her own choice."
"Then why Isher she so sad? Isher it related to her stepfather?" Su Yue already had some guesses in his mind.
"The master didn't oppose the marriage, but recently he had the young lady move into the eldest young lady's old room, so she might be a little unhappy because of that." The maid pouted and explained.
"They have a good relationship as sisters, right? It's so sad to move into the room." Su Yue looked at the maid's expression and felt that things were not simple.
"Of course, they have a very deep relationship. But the eldest young lady passed away the night before her engagement, so Miss Sven Isher very scared. Also, these past two days she has been repeating the words the eldest young lady said back then." A look of heartache appeared on the maid's face, clearly indicating that Sven was a kind young lady.
"Who are you? How did you get into my house?" Su Yue turned around, his gaze sharp, looking in the direction of the voice.
As soon as the maid saw the employer, she quickly lowered her head and explained, "Sir, this Isher a Central Intelligence Agency agent. He Isher here to investigate the case of the eldest young lady back then."
Su Yue carefully sized up the legendary stepfather, Ricardo. He was tall, with a face full of wrinkles, holding a golf club, clearly someone who exercised regularly. His name was also quite unique, Ricardo.
"Hello, I am Central Intelligence Agency Agent Cui Minhe, nice to meet you!" Su Yue smiled and greeted the stepfather.
"We don't need any agents, get out of my house! Now, immediately!" Ricardo was merciless, swinging the club as if he was about to hit someone.
"Father, please mind your words and actions, don't bring shame to the Sri Lanka family." Sven, who was just acting nervous, instantly turned into a dignified lady.
Wang Linlin helped her slowly walk downstairs.
"I invited them! What? Do you have an opinion, Father?" Sven saw Ricardo's furrowed brow and also had many doubts in her heart.
"They can investigate the case, but they absolutely cannot enter my room. When your sister had that incident back then, they already entered my room once, and they scared my cheetah." After saying that, Ricardo went upstairs.
"Don't mind him, Mr. Cui. My stepfather's bad temper Isher a family trait. He doesn't have many friends now." Sven's voice was still weak.
"Did something happen?" Su Yue asked with concern.
"Yes, sir, I need your help now!" As Sven spoke, tears rolled down like pearls.
"Then tell us what you need! We will do our best to help you!" Su Yue responded gently.
Sven stabilized her emotions and slowly recounted, "My sister and I are twins. Our mother was a noble widow from the last century, who married Father with a rich dowry. But Father died in a war. Mother later met my current stepfather. At first, he wasn't like this. After Mother passed away, he became irritable and prone to anger."
"He often yells at people outside the manor, causing everyone to distance themselves from us."
"Excuse me, have you been living here all the time?" Su Yue noticed the degree of damage to the house, which didn't seem like it had been lived in for a long time.
"No, after Mother passed away, we moved here with our stepfather." After Sven answered, Su Yue nodded, signaling her to continue.
"Fortunately, our aunt lives nearby. My sister often visited her and met her fiancé there. The stepfather didn't object at the time, nor was he particularly happy. But the night before the engagement, she came to talk to me because she was upset."
"Why was she upset?" Su Yue asked again.
"Because the stepfather kept smoking cigars, which choked her. So she came to my room to chat, full of anticipation for her future life." Sven seemed to have returned to the happy times she spent with her sister.
Her expression became somber. "She also asked me if I heard a 'whistling sound'. I said it might be the Gypsies on the manor blowing it, and didn't pay much attention. But after she went back to her room, I started to feel uneasy. We are twins, we have a telepathic connection."
"At that time, I felt that something bad was going to happen, so I opened the window for fresh air. But then I heard a metallic clanging sound and the whistling sound my sister mentioned. When I ran out, I saw my sister standing outside the door, her eyes wide open, muttering 'tick, tick'!"
"It was useless even after being sent to the hospital..."
A gleam flashed in Su Yue's eyes: "Are you not feeling well now because you moved into your sister's room?" He carefully observed Sven's expression, not missing any subtle changes.
"Yes, and I heard the whistling sound my sister mentioned again." Sven was almost on the verge of crying out loud. She was very afraid of the tragedy of that year repeating itself.
"Can you describe your stepfather's room? I don't seem to be able to go in now." Su Yue said to Sven.
Wang Linlin handed her a tissue, allowing Sven to wipe her tears and calm down. Then she described the furnishings of that room in detail to Su Yue.
"That room Isher about the same size as our sisters' rooms, and the furnishings are very simple. Besides the cheetah he keeps and its cage, there's just a bed, nothing else." Su Yue frowned slightly when he heard this.
"You've heard the whistling sound again recently, haven't you?" he continued to ask.
"Yes, that's right. That's why I'm so troubled now." Sven replied.

"How long have you been hearing it?"
"About a month."
Su Yue already had a deduction in his mind. He observed the surroundings and then carefully told Sven, "Tonight you go back to your own room to sleep, and we will stand guard in your room for the night."
Miss Sven did not mind Su Yue's presumptuousness. After Wang Linlin's psychological counseling, she had built trust in the two of them, and Su Yue's identity as a Central Intelligence Agency agent also brought her some reassurance in her anxiety.
"But I'm worried that my stepfather will find out!" Miss Sven seemed to have already foreseen her stepfather's roar.
"Don't worry, I have arrangements." Su Yue said softly.
"We will wait within sight of the manor. When the light in your stepfather's room goes out, light an aromatherapy candle and turn off all the lights. When we see the candle, we will quietly come in, but you have to stay in the previous room for one night." Su Yue explained.
"Okay, no problem." Miss Sven readily agreed.
Afterward, Su Yue and Wang Linlin bid farewell to the stepfather and Miss Sven.
"Have you thought of something?" Wang Linlin looked at Su Yue. He didn't seem troubled.
"Sort of, I have my own speculation." Su Yue responded.
"Tell me about it, share it with me!" Wang Linlin said in a coquettish tone, eager to hear Su Yue's speculation.
"Did you find anything unusual in the room?" Su Yue didn't directly state his speculation but wanted to hear Wang Linlin's opinion first.
"Hmm! The bed seems immovable, like it's nailed down!" Wang Linlin had been in the room for so long, she did notice something.
"That's right, that bed Isher nailed down with steel nails, which Isher very puzzling. Almost no one would fix a bed in one position. I also specifically asked the staff on the manor, and they said it was nailed down when Miss Svea was here, but they don't know why. No one told me if Miss Svea did it voluntarily or not."
"You mean?" Wang Linlin heard that Su Yue didn't seem to agree with the idea that Miss Svea committed suicide.
"We'll have the answer tonight. But you must stay close to me. It might be very dangerous tonight." A hint of determination was revealed in Su Yue's eyes.
"Then do we need to prepare anything now?" Wang Linlin immediately became nervous when she heard Su Yue say this.
"Do we need to do something?" Su Yue looked at Wang Linlin and couldn't help but want to tease her.
"Yes, what preparations do we need to make?" Wang Linlin was like a student in class, staring at the teacher waiting for the answer.
"What we need to do now Isher fill our stomachs!" After saying that, Su Yue took Wang Linlin to a steakhouse.
On the other side, Gao Xiang had been in contact with Lyon.
"How Isher the situation now?" Gao Xiang had been staying in the house because he hadn't received notification from China. Except for Su Yue, no one knew that he couldn't go out now, so naturally, no one notified him.
"It's okay, he's been focusing on the n-shaped file, nothing abnormal." Lyon wasn't working on the case with Isher. He came out just to see Su Yue and wanted to catch him personally.
"I still can't go out, you must keep a close eye on him!" Gao Xiang could only wait for the notification from China, and then meet up with Lyon and the others to formulate a plan to pursue Su Yue.
After Su Yue and Wang Linlin returned to the hotel outside the manor, they observed that their window faced the manor, and they could clearly see the signal Sven left.
Lyon wasn't clear about the specific situation, only thinking they were here to study the case.
Su Yue and Wang Linlin turned off the lights early, waiting for the signal from the opposite side.
"I'm both nervous and excited now." Wang Linlin leaned close to Su Yue's ear and whispered.
"Don't mess around, I'll protect you." Su Yue's ear tickled from Wang Linlin's words, but this was a critical moment, he couldn't be distracted.
"I believe you!" Wang Linlin said.
The two of them kept staring at the opposite side, not daring to relax for a moment.
"Look, the light in the stepfather's room Isher out!" Wang Linlin excitedly told Su Yue.
"Okay, let's go." Su Yue took out the rope he had prepared and tied it under the window.
"Aren't we going through the main entrance?" Wang Linlin didn't expect Su Yue to do this.
"Don't be afraid, I'll catch you down below!" Su Yue held Wang Linlin and comforted her softly.
For Wang Linlin, as long as Su Yue was by her side, she wasn't afraid of anything.
Meanwhile, Sven quietly placed the aromatherapy candle by the window and then slipped back to her room.
Su Yue and Wang Linlin successfully entered Miss Svea's room through the passage left by Sven. The room was completely dark. Su Yue extinguished the aromatherapy candle immediately after entering.
"Now there's no light at all!" Wang Linlin stayed close to Su Yue and whispered.
"I know, just wait and see!" Su Yue held Wang Linlin's hand, and his other hand tightly gripped his gun. If his speculation was correct, they would get the answer tonight.
The two of them didn't wait long before they heard the whistling sound Miss Sven mentioned, followed by the sound of metal clanging.
"Get ready!" Su Yue stared intently at the headboard area.
"Bang!" The bedside table was knocked open, and Su Yue watched as the cheetah sprang onto the bed like crazy.
"Bang bang!" Su Yue took out his Central Intelligence Agency silenced pistol and fired two shots. The cheetah suddenly sprang back under the bedside table! Seeing this scene, Wang Linlin tightly gripped Su Yue's hand, afraid that the cheetah would rush out again.
Su Yue turned and took Wang Linlin to the next room, opened the stepfather's door, and saw the cheetah gnawing on the stepfather's neck. Su Yue immediately took action, and the cheetah instantly went limp and fell to the ground.
Su Yue sat on a chair, watching the stepfather's bedside table also opened, and sighed in his heart that he had truly brought this upon himself.
Wang Linlin knocked on Miss Sven's room and led her into the stepfather's room.
"What's going on?" Miss Sven was still wearing her pajamas, clearly not awakened by their actions.
"I think your sister might have died because of your stepfather's greed!" Su Yue said gravely.
"You mean? Was my sister really killed by him?" Miss Sven's eyes widened, and she covered her mouth with her hands.
Su Yue nodded slightly at Miss Sven and slowly explained, "Actually, the method of the crime was not complicated. Perhaps the investigators at the time didn't focus on the key points."
