There are five or six pieces of clothing on the bed. In fact, you can tell at a glance that there are two sizes, because the contrast is so obvious. One type of clothing is loose and baggy, while the other type looks very slim and fitted. Moreover, the styles of the two types of clothing are completely different. One is more mature, while the other is very youthful.
If this is the case, then it is obvious that the deceased Ma Jie had two men at the same time. It seems that her lifestyle is not much different from what the landlady described.
After hearing what I said, Bai Longfei, who had been rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for something, immediately threw away the various women's underwear in his hands, came forward and took the men's clothes on the bed and carefully identified them. Then he said in surprise: "Yes! Why didn't I notice it before?"
I took one of the looser suits and looked at it, and found something in the pocket of the suit. I took it out and saw that it was actually a meal ticket from the newspaper office, which seemed to be used by them when they had meals.
With this meal ticket, we can basically identify the owner of this clothing as someone who works in a newspaper. We can even boldly guess from the style and size of the clothing that the owner of this clothing is the guilty office director we met before!
If this piece of clothing is the office director's clothing, then what about the other piece of clothing? Is the other piece of clothing the person who followed us today
Just when I was about to take a look at another type of clothing, Bai Longfei suddenly exclaimed, "Ji Wen, look! This clothing seems to be the work clothes in the newspaper office! I've seen it before!"
I immediately stepped forward and looked at the clothes in Bai Longfei's hand. Indeed, this clothes is indeed the work clothes in the newspaper office! We stayed in the newspaper office for a long time today and saw many people wearing such clothes. Obviously, it must be the work clothes of the newspaper office.
It seems that the matter is very clear. The two boyfriends, or lovers, of the deceased Ma Jie are all from the newspaper office. But if that is the case, how did the second boyfriend of the deceased, who is relatively younger and has a better figure, follow us just now? You know, we have two police officers guarding the door of the newspaper office. If someone comes out, they will definitely notify us. Could it be that Ma Jie's young boyfriend did not come to work today
I immediately asked Bai Longfei, "Brother Long, can you see if there is any information on the work clothes, such as name and work department?"
Bai Longfei carefully looked at the clothes over and over for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "No, but there seem to be some oil stains on the cuffs and collar of this work clothes. This person must be an electrician or something like that, right?"
I looked in the direction of Bai Longfei's finger, and indeed could see obvious oil stains on the cuffs. They must have been accidentally put there by the owner of the clothes while working.
Now it seems that since the two boyfriends or lovers of the deceased Ma Jie were both people in the newspaper, then a possibility gradually emerged. Could it be that the two boyfriends did not know that they were cheating on her, and one day one of them suddenly discovered the existence of the other, and out of love turned to hate, so he killed Ma Jie
There is another possibility, that is, the one who killed Ma Jie was actually Ma Jie's third boyfriend. Anyway, she didn't love herself so much, who knows how many backups she had? Did this third boyfriend kill Ma Jie because of other things
Although we are only in the speculation stage at present, we all understand that the truth will soon come to light, because we are only one step away from finding Ma Jie's other boyfriend in the newspaper. As long as we find him, perhaps we will be able to understand everything.
In general, we gained a lot from visiting Ma Jie's home this time, but Bai Longfei turned her bedroom upside down. I originally wanted to help clean it up with Lin Yingxue, but when we saw a lot of suggestive women's underwear, we finally gave up the idea. But when I was looking at those women's underwear, I suddenly found something strange, but this thing was immediately rejected in my mind, so I didn't care.
We checked the home of the deceased Ma Jie again, and finally left Ma Jie's home together and headed back to the newspaper office. We must find the true identity of the other boyfriend of Ma Jie who is hiding in the newspaper office in the shortest time possible.
But at this moment, I am still very concerned about the person who followed us today. My intuition tells me that the person who followed us is definitely not simple.
After we arrived at the newspaper office, we saw the two policemen still guarding the door professionally, so we stepped forward to ask about the situation of the newspaper office after we left. The two policemen might have been scared by Bai Longfei's scolding before, and they did not dare to slack off from beginning to end. They would make a record of everyone who walked out of the newspaper office and ask them where they were going. From beginning to end, only two people left, and these two people went back very quickly. We didn't know them, so I won't describe them in detail.
I smiled and said to the two police officers, "Okay, you've worked hard, go back and have dinner, and call a few more people over tonight."
"Ah? You're coming again tonight? Why?"
The two police officers had relaxed, but when they heard what I said, they tensed up again. I smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't ask so many questions. Just come when we call you. Don't not come, or Officer Bai will be very angry."
After the two policemen drove away dejectedly, we first went to the guard room of the newspaper office and asked the security guard inside some questions.
It's very strange that there are three security guards in this newspaper! I was very curious about what valuable things this newspaper had that needed three people as security guards? Later, they also told me some inside information. Because the newspaper's biggest source of profit is absolutely confidential news information, it used to happen that peers often stole news information. Finally, the newspaper had no choice but to arrange three security guards to patrol day and night. I still couldn't understand this practice.
I first asked the three security guards about the relationship between the office director on the tenth floor and the deceased Ma Jie. They were the ones who had the most contact with the entire newspaper and knew the most gossip. One of them immediately whispered that this was true because they often saw the two of them secretly hiding in the office after everyone got off work and doing some shady things. And they often heard some anecdotes from some newspaper employees that only they had seen.
At this point, it seems that the affair between the office director and the deceased Ma Jie has basically been proven beyond doubt, so I asked them again, in the entire newspaper office, are there any jobs like electricians that could come into contact with oil stains
The security guard thought about it carefully, and then said that the only ones who could have come into contact with the oil stains were probably the three of them, because they often had to clean and sometimes repair electrical appliances like light bulbs, so they could have come into contact with the oil stains, and apart from the three of them, they couldn't think of anyone else who could have done this.
While they were talking, I had already been sizing up the figures of the three of them. All of them were over 30 years old, so they certainly wouldn't wear fancy clothes. Moreover, all of them were a bit fat, a bit like the figure of an office director, so the work clothes we found in the deceased's home did not belong to these three security guards.
Since the security guard had no suspicion, we did not ask any more questions and planned to go back to the tenth floor and start the investigation from there, because we felt that the hidden boyfriend of Ma Jie must be an employee on the tenth floor.
Now we have basically put the clues on the boyfriend of the deceased Ma Jie and the clue of love murder, but thinking back, there was another clue that seemed to allude to the case at hand, which was the death of the old office director.
No matter from which angle you look at it, this case should be closely related to the death of the old office director. The fact that the murder weapon that killed Ma Jie was the same piece of wood that killed the old office director is enough to explain the problem.
So now the question is, was Ma Jie's death caused by her boyfriend's murder or the accidental death of her old office director? Or is it actually related to both of these things, but we have not yet discovered what the only connection between the two things is
Thinking back to the voice I heard from Bai Qi this morning, the eerie voice was obviously a trick, but it still made me feel cold, especially the sentence "Because I'm behind you". Now when I think back, I still feel like there's a pair of eyes staring at me from behind, and I subconsciously turned around and looked behind me. Suddenly, I saw that at the gate of the newspaper behind me, there was a man wearing the devil mask we just found, standing there staring at us!
Suddenly seeing such a scene gave me a chill in an instant. However, when I looked carefully, I found that the entrance of the newspaper office behind me was empty and there was no one standing there, as if everything I had seen before was just an illusion.
Regardless of whether it was an illusion or not, I had to go out and take a look. If I didn't figure this out, I would probably be scared awake even in my sleep! But just as I told Bai Longfei and the others about the masked man I saw and was about to chase him out to take a look, my phone suddenly rang. I picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from an unfamiliar number, so I answered the call while running towards the gate of the newspaper office.
"I'll come to you on time in twelve hours!"
