"So..." Ran Tao said while standing in the foyer on the first floor of Chenyang House, "Although there is surveillance, the host that stores the hard drive is not at the doorman, but inside the foreign building?"
"Yes," Wu Xiumin, who was lying on Ran Tao's shoulder, murmured, "When the surveillance system was installed, the outside of Chenyang Residence was still being planned, and the guard room was inside the building!
"After the planning was completed, the guard room was moved to the gate, but all the hosts were left inside the building!"
"Oh..." Ran Tao said thoughtfully, "In this case, the murderer should kill first and then deal with the surveillance hard drive
"Because if you destroy the hard drive first, it might be discovered by the guard outside?"
"What you said is all nonsense!" Wu Xiumin squinted her eyes and said, "In addition to the victim, he also held many sacrificial objects, so naturally he went to kill first!
"Besides, there is no surveillance in the bathroom. As long as you enter the bathroom, you won't be discovered!"
"Oh, okay then!" Ran Tao said, "Let's go upstairs first!"
After saying that, Ran Tao carried Wu Xiumin and walked upstairs.
"However," Wu Xiumin said, "not many people should know the information that Chenyangju's monitoring host is in the building. Let's go back and check carefully to see if Zhang Shixiong may know about this situation!"
"Oh, it's so hot!" Ran Tao was sweating profusely. "Was it also so hot on the day the murderer committed the crime? Could it be that his sweat also dripped on the ground?"
"I don't know if the murderer is sweating," Wu Xiumin joked, "but he is definitely not as verbose as you!"
"Ouch," Ran Tao retorted, "Okay, I don't think you are heavy yet! Zhang Qile must be much lighter than you..."
"You really don't know how to chat," Miss Wu said angrily, "Don't you know that talking about a girl's weight has serious consequences?"
"Girl?" Ran Tao said seriously, "Please, you are older than me! Can't you call me a girl?"
"I'll go!" Wu Xiumin was so angry that she pinched Ran Tao's ear.
"Hey, hey, hey... can you be more professional?" Ran Tao gritted his teeth in pain, "You are playing the victim now. If you twist the murderer's ears, isn't it the same as committing suicide?"
"Hey, you are so indebted!" Wu Xiumin said, "I am so blind that I will simulate the scene with you! If I had known, we might as well have changed!"
"Maybe, I will really kill you!"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I'm worse than you think!" Ran Tao said, "Who allowed us to have a boss like that!
"To be honest, I always feel unsure when the boss is not here this time!" Ran Tao glanced at the dark corridor, "In a daze, I thought I was back at the scene of the Ghost King case!
"I remember that in the academy where the Ghost King case was held, the boss took us to the simulation scene in the middle of the night. Oh, that was terrifying... Oh, oh..."
As Ran Tao gasped for breath, they finally arrived at the bathroom door on the third floor.
The bathroom door is usually open. Ran Tao held Wu Xiumin with one hand and opened the wooden door of the bathroom with the other.
Squeak...
As if in response to the situation, the wooden door made a scary creaking sound. Ran Tao broke out in a cold sweat and trembled slightly.
The room was dark, Ran Tao lit the lighter with one hand, and then cautiously came to the bathtub.
"Sister Wu, I... I'll put you in there," Ran Tao said tremblingly, "Since it's a simulated murder case, then we have to be more serious!
"You... um... you don't have any taboos, right? This bathtub... seems to have been cleaned..."
Unexpectedly, Wu Xiumin suddenly stopped talking.
"Hey," Ran Tao asked again, "I... I put you in, but don't be angry. We are all for the case, for the case..."
With that said, Ran Tao gently put Wu Xiumin into the bathtub, but after putting it there, he found that Wu Xiumin was motionless, as if she was really unconscious.
"Sister Wu, Sister Wu... hello..." Ran Tao murmured anxiously, "You... are you asleep?"
As a result, in an instant, Wu Xiumin suddenly opened her eyes and roared.
"Wow!!!"
"Ah..." Ran Tao was extremely nervous, but Wu Xiumin's sudden roar frightened him so much that he was so frightened that he was so scared that he fell to the ground!
"Haha... Hahaha..." Next, Wu Xiumin's laughter came from the bathtub, "Looking at your virtue, are you still so timid?"
"I'll go..." Ran Tao rubbed his white face and cursed through gritted teeth, "What are you doing? Is this fun?"
"I said," Wu Xiumin said stubbornly, "there is a price to pay for talking about a woman's age and weight easily! Do you believe me now?"
"Ah?" At this moment, Ran Tao suddenly pointed behind Wu Xiumin, making a frightened look, "You... behind you..."
As a result, instead of being fooled, Wu Xiumin took off her shoes and threw them directly in Ran Tao's face...
…
Ten minutes later, Wu Xiumin opened her eyes and lay in the bathtub.
She spread her hands, simulating the scene of her wrists being cut by the murderer...
Ran Tao gestured on the side and said: "I think that after the murderer came in, he first put the person into the bathtub, took off his clothes, and then poured water...
"Next, he started to arrange sacrificial objects such as incense candles or statues of gods. After everything was done, the last step was to kill!
"But... but..." Ran Tao scratched his head habitually and said, "We still haven't found out. Is there any flaw in the murderer
"When the ceremony was over, he packed up his things and left... The ashes of the burned candles and some charcoal were left at the scene...
"We still can't prove that that person must be Zhang Shixiong?"
"Although the light from the candle is very weak and the curtains are closed," Wu Xiumin said, "but if someone is paying attention to this place on the other side, they should still be able to see it!"
"It's a pity that we have asked all of them," Ran Tao said, "No one noticed here. Who is always looking out the window in the middle of the night?"
"Ran Tao," Wu Xiumin reminded, "you'd better look outside and see if there's anything?"
"All right!"
So, Ran Tao came to the window and looked outside. It was dark and quiet outside, and he couldn't see anything unusual.
"After killing the person," Wu Xiumin added, "the murderer packed up his things... Wait a minute...
"If the murderer is really Zhang Shixiong, then he is obviously imitating the crime," Wu Xiumin guessed, "Since white candles and charcoal powder also appear at the scene, it means that Zhang Shixiong also understands the sacrificial rituals of Luofu Tao!
"So, we can almost conclude that Zhang Shixiong must have seen or even studied Luofu Tao...
"If Peter is here to improve his body and Zhang Fengyi is here to defeat the disease, then... what is Zhang Shixiong here for?"
"Could it be..." Ran Tao asked, "Does he have some hidden disease? How about we give him a checkup? Or ask his ex-girlfriend?"
