Just like that, Ding Yang and I stayed in the room bored for a whole day. There was no computer or wireless network here. I felt like a year had passed after such a day. If this continued for a few more days, I really felt like I was here to go to jail.
Fortunately, Zhang Qishan seemed to know that I was bored, and chatted with me on the phone for a whole afternoon, helping me kill a lot of time. The three Shamatte in the next room were just like what Uncle Liu said, sleeping during the day and making noises at night. I didn't hear any movement in their room for a whole day, except for the deafening snoring.
I found that the sound insulation of the house here is really poor. The three guys in the house next door are snoring, and it feels like they are right next to my ears. I was wondering if they are really that noisy at night, how would Ding Yang and I sleep
Time passed very slowly and we finally made it to the night. The Shamatte in the next room seemed to be activated after dark, and the snoring immediately turned into noisy noises.
Ding Yang cooked noodles in the afternoon. He was obviously used to living in the south, and the noodles he cooked were not as delicious as the local noodles here. I ate a few bites and couldn't eat anymore, but Ding Yang had a good appetite. He finished the rest of the food, looked up at the dark environment outside, and said, "It's dark now, let's go over and take a look."
I checked my phone and saw that it was 8:30 in the evening. We were in a sparsely populated new district and all the construction sites had stopped working. It felt like the whole world was asleep, except for the three shady guys who were noisy next to us.
"It's almost time now, let's go. Since the murderer chose to commit the crime at night, there must be something that we can only notice at night. Let's go down now and reconstruct the crime scene!"
As I said that, I took the lead and walked out of the room. As soon as I walked out of the room, I heard the noisy voices of those Shamatte outside the corridor became more obvious. I suddenly felt a little upset and prepared to go in and ask them to lower their voices.
"No, let them make a fuss first, and then we'll warn them when we go to bed. If they don't listen, I don't mind beating them up." Ding Yang guessed what I was going to do and stopped me immediately. I thought what he said made sense, so I didn't bother with those Shamatte anymore.
When I was about to go to the elevator, my eyes turned to the room on the other side of the Shamatte room. According to Uncle Liu, a worker lived in this room. He slept during the day and went out to work at night, so he has been living there until now. We had originally planned to visit him again in the evening. I wonder if he has gone to work now.
Thinking of this, I immediately turned around and walked to the door of the room, leaned over to listen, there was no sound inside, then I looked through the peephole, there was no light at all. It seemed that the worker had gone out to work before we caught up with him.
Ding Yang had already reached the elevator entrance. Seeing that I suddenly left again, he hurriedly urged me to hurry over. I walked over and pressed the elevator button with him, intending to go to the fourth floor to take a closer look.
Soon, the elevator door opened. I had not paid attention to this elevator when I came in the morning, but now when I look closely, I find that this elevator actually looks very high-end. Not only is the light inside bright, but the other three walls of the elevator except the door are made of mirror-like steel. It is as if we are surrounded by three huge mirrors, making the interior of the elevator appear very large. However, looking at the endless grid of my own shadow, especially in the middle of the night, I still feel a little uncomfortable.
The elevator quickly reached the fourth floor. When the elevator door opened, Ding Yang and I frowned at the same time because we found that there was not a single light in the corridor on the fourth floor!
This feeling is very strange. Originally, the lighting facilities in the elevator were very complete and the light was very bright, but when I walked out of the elevator, I encountered a pitch-black environment. This huge contrast made me feel a little creepy. Even though I knew that nothing would happen if I went out now, I still felt a chill down my spine.
Ding Yang seemed to think the same as I did. We both stood at the elevator entrance and didn't go out for a long time. Until the elevator door closed again after being open for a long time, I reopened the elevator door, walked out of the elevator with Ding Yang, and came to the dark corridor.
At this moment, the whole world seemed to be silent. I was a little annoyed by the noise made by those shamattes on the sixth floor, but now I am in the corridor on the fourth floor, and I miss the noisy sounds I heard just now.
It was very strange. Not only was there no light in the corridor on the fourth floor, but it seemed that there was no household on the entire fourth floor. It felt like I was back in the original white building, and it was very depressing.
But I can understand this situation. After all, two people died here in succession, and the panic caused cannot be easily eliminated. I guess the previous residents here moved out of the fourth floor because of these two murders, or even moved out of the building to find other places to live.
In short, I felt uncomfortable all over when I was trapped in the darkness. I immediately took out my mobile phone, turned on the flashlight, and looked around to find the light in the corridor on the fourth floor.
"Don't look for it anymore. The corridor lights in this building are designed to be voice-controlled. We have been here for a long time and the lights are still not on. They must have been broken a long time ago." Ding Yang said helplessly.
I was confused. How did the designer of this building design it? The whole building looks very high-end from the outside, but the interior is designed like a student dormitory. The elevator is also so high-end, but the lights in the corridor are shoddy and there is no camera. Could it be that the designer is a schizophrenic
But I thought again, the matter might not be that simple, why are all the lights in the corridor on the fourth floor of the entire building broken? Could it be that the murderer did it on purpose to make it easier for him to kill people
Ding Yang, who was standing by, looked puzzled and said, "This is a bit wrong. I remember Officer Yang said that the first victim died at the elevator entrance, but the second victim died at the staircase entrance. Given the darkness, why did the second victim choose to take the stairs instead of the elevator?"
In fact, this question has always troubled me. According to my understanding, if the murderer intended to create a supernatural event like the Pen Fairy murder to get rid of suspicion, he should have chosen the same place for the two murders. But why was the body of the second victim, Xiaofang, found at the staircase? Did Xiaofang really walk up the stairs? Why didn't she take the elevator
"According to my guess, Xiaofang might have been traumatized by the fact that the first person died at the elevator entrance, so she chose to take the stairs. Otherwise, there's really no way to explain this matter."
As I was speaking, the elevator door behind me suddenly closed again. Previously, we could still see the light from the elevator, but now the only light left was the light from the mobile phones in our hands.
But at that moment, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and I seemed to understand why Xiaofang's body appeared at the other staircase in the corridor. I immediately said to Ding Yang excitedly: "I understand, so this is the case! At that time, Xiaofang chose to take the stairs because she had no choice!"
Ding Yang looked puzzled and asked, "Under no choice? What do you mean? Is there really a ghost in the elevator?"
I shook my head and continued, "In fact, we were all wrong. Xiaofang should have been taking the elevator back to the sixth floor, but the elevator suddenly stopped at the fourth floor and could not move normally, so Xiaofang chose to force her way into the dark corridor and go up the stairs on the other side. That's where she was killed by the murderer."
At the moment, I can only speculate this way, otherwise there is really no way to explain this. After all, Xiao Fang is dead, and the real situation is only known to her and the murderer.
Ding Yang seemed to think what I said made sense, but he still asked, "But how could the elevator be immobilized? Could it be that the murderer temporarily destroyed the elevator?"
I'm not very clear about this. After all, I know nothing about the structure of an elevator. But when I watched TV before, the elevators on TV seemed to have a control room. Could it be that the murderer controlled the elevator through the control room at that time, which made Xiaofang choose to take the stairs
Although there are still many questions that have not been figured out, such as why the murderer chose to kill Xiaofang at the stairs, but I feel that my speculation this time should be correct. If it were me, when the elevator failed after reaching the fourth floor, I would also choose to walk through the dark corridor and go up the stairs. I couldn't let myself be trapped in the elevator, right
Ding Yang and I discussed for a long time, but in the end, no one came to a conclusion. We, who had originally planned to wait in ambush, could not stand the dark and depressing environment anymore, so we decided to go back to sleep. As long as we are alert enough in the middle of the night, we will be able to find out the movements of the three Shamatte youths in the next room. After all, according to the current clues, the murderer's target is still this group of Shamatte youths. As long as we keep an eye on them, the murderer will not be able to commit crimes again.
So, Ding Yang and I took the elevator back to the sixth floor and heard the noisy sounds in the Shamatte room again. Just as we opened the door of our room, I suddenly realized that I seemed to have left my cell phone at the elevator entrance on the fourth floor during the discussion and forgot to take it. I immediately turned back to the elevator and prepared to go downstairs to get my cell phone. After all, I couldn't live without my cell phone in such a boring place.
Fortunately, we had just left and the elevator was still on the sixth floor. I pressed the elevator button and the elevator door opened quickly. But the moment the elevator door opened, I found that there was a strange figure in the elevator, which was supposed to be empty! The figure stood in a corner of the elevator with his back to me, like a prisoner facing the wall, standing motionless!
