Although we don't know why the office director described the voice of the person who called him as weird, but from the content of the call he narrated, we all instantly understood that the person who called the office director was the real murderer in this case!
I originally thought that I was the only target of the murderer tonight, but who knew that after calling me, the murderer actually called the office director in front of me? What on earth did he want to do
The office director was still in shock and trembling as he said, "The police who came to investigate this morning played the voice and content of the phone call that Ma Jie received the day before her death. I happened to be there at the time. The voice and the way of speaking of the phone call I just received were exactly the same as the one that Ma Jie received! I have also been cursed, and I am going to die tonight! You must save me!"
I was really annoyed by the office director's cries for help, so I asked Bai Longfei to take the person out first. Then I picked up the office director's mobile phone on the ground and carefully looked at the number of the received call.
I still had some vague impression of the last strange number that called me. When I saw the phone number that the office director received, although it felt familiar, it was not the number that called me. Could it be that the murderer changed his phone number again
I took a photo of the number in the office director's phone and sent it to Bai Qi, asking him to help investigate and send me the content of the call. At this time, Lin Yingxue behind me asked, "Originally, we suspected that the person we wanted to choose was between the office director and Li Gang. Now even the office director has received this call. It seems obvious now that the murderer must be Li Gang! We didn't say anything when we found out about his work clothes just now. Maybe he still thinks we don't suspect him?"
I shook my head slightly and said, "In theory, that's basically it, but we still can't rule out the possibility that the office director lied. What if the call was just a smokescreen, something he made up, or he took advantage of the fact that no one was using his other phone to call his own phone? Don't you understand after all this? Sometimes the simpler a case looks, the more complicated it is, because the murderer likes to make us look at his complicated methods in a simple way, so as to mislead us! So we can't jump to conclusions now."
After I said this, Lin Yingxue suddenly looked at me with an inexplicable look, her face slightly red, and said, "I'm not as smart as you. I definitely can't think of these things."
Lin Yingxue's feminine demeanor instantly made my heart beat faster for some reason. Just as I was about to say something, my phone rang. I took it out and saw that it was Bai Qi calling back.
"What exactly is going on with this number?"
Before I opened my mouth, Bai Qi started asking me anxiously. I immediately told him what had just happened to the office director, and Bai Qi fell silent instantly.
"Uncle Bai? What's going on?" Bai Qi's reaction was beyond my expectation. I didn't expect that he would be so nervous when I asked him this time.
"Ji Wen, I'm afraid you're in trouble. Maybe there are two murderers in this case!"
Bai Qi told me that he had checked the phone number I had just sent him. In fact, the phone number I had just sent him was exactly the same as the phone number that the first deceased, Ma Jie, received. In other words, the person who called the deceased Ma Jie and the office director was the same person.
However, I also received a call from a different number. Although the voice sounded the same, the number was completely different. It was very likely that the person who called me was not the murderer in this case, but someone else!
When I heard this, I instantly got goosebumps all over my body. The man wearing the devil mask that I saw before immediately appeared in my mind. Could it be that the person who really called me was that person? And that person had only one goal, which was to kill me
This idea is not impossible! Who did I offend that made this person use this method to kill me? What's more terrifying is that this person has completely integrated his killing method into the case we are going to solve this time, as if he was trying to create the illusion that I would die while solving the case!
"Ji Wen, do you want me to send more people to help you?"
While I was thinking, Bai Qi suddenly said on the phone. I thought about it carefully and said, "No need. Brother Long and Xiaoxue are here. Nothing will happen to me. Besides, everything is just speculation now. What if the murderer made a mistake when calling and caused this? Anyway, let's take it one step at a time."
"Well, I'm relieved that Long Fei and the others are here. I'll give Long Fei another call to give him some instructions. I'll send you the call records I retrieved from the mobile company on WeChat later. If there's anything, be sure to contact me in time!"
After Bai Qi finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Then I heard Bai Longfei's phone ringing outside the door. At the same time, Bai Qi also sent an audio file to my WeChat. I opened it and played it on speakerphone, and listened carefully to the content with Lin Yingxue.
The voice inside was still the eerie voice I had heard twice. If I didn't look at the number, just from the voice, I could tell that the person who called all of us was definitely the same person.
"In twelve hours, you will be able to see me because I will be right above you!"
After hearing this recording, I subconsciously looked up at the roof, as if there was something on the roof staring at me, but I couldn't see it at all.
After I played this recording back and forth several times, Lin Yingxue finally said, "Ji Wen, don't you think this recording seems a little different from the one you heard?"
Even Lin Yingxue could hear the question, how could I not hear it? I still clearly remember that the phone call Ma Jie received said "behind her", and then Ma Jie was stabbed to death by the wood behind her. It was obvious that this was the murderer hinting at the method of killing, and now the office director heard "above her head", so the murderer's method of killing the office director must be related to the top of her head.
But what about me? I just heard "Come to me on time" without any other instructions. Compared with these two recordings, I was so weak. Could it be that the calls were really from two different people
"They are indeed very different. I don't know if the murderer made two versions of the phone call just to scare me, or if there are really two murderers."
As I was talking here, the office door suddenly opened, and then I saw Bai Longfei dragging the office director who had calmed down came in. He asked me what was going on. I briefly told him, and he thought my analysis made sense at this moment, and asked me if I wanted to stay in the police station here for one night
I shook my head and said, "No need. The trouble has found us, so why should we be afraid? We will stay here today and see what the murderer plans to do."
Bai Longfei nodded in agreement, and the office director asked tentatively: "What should I do today? How about I stay with you? It will be safer to stay with you?"
The office director had completely lost all his temperament at this time, and looked like a scared softie. I nodded helplessly and said, "If you want to stay, then stay. But I still need to ask you a few questions first. If you dare to lie, then you will die today."
The office director nodded hastily and confidently, and I immediately asked, "Tell me, are you the boyfriend of the deceased Ma Jie?"
I asked him the question again, but this time he didn't hesitate at all and nodded immediately, "Yes, to be precise, I should be Ma Jie's lover, because I am a married man. The reason why I didn't dare to tell you the truth before was that I was afraid that you would blame her death on me. You won't do that, right?"
It turned out to be exactly as we had speculated. The office director was one of the lovers of the deceased Ma Jie. Although I was still a little angry that he deliberately concealed this matter, when I think about it, it is understandable. After all, we had locked the suspicion on Ma Jie's boyfriend from the very beginning. Regardless of whether he was the murderer or not, he would not easily admit it.
"We will not do anything to wrongly accuse a good person. You can rest assured about this. Without solid evidence, we will not easily arrest anyone. Since you admit that you are Ma Jie's lover, do you know that Ma Jie actually has a boyfriend?"
When the office director heard what I said, he looked visibly unnatural, and he stammered, seeming to be hesitant to speak. It was obvious that there was something he couldn't say.
"If you have anything to say, just say it now! We don't have time to waste you!"
Before I could continue asking, Bai Longfei suddenly slammed the table and shouted fiercely, scaring me who was standing next to him!
The office director was so frightened that his body trembled on the spot, and he hurriedly said, "I know, I know, she has strong needs in that aspect, and I can't satisfy her alone, so she has other men outside. In fact, although she didn't tell me about this, I can guess it from many clues. It's just that we are just lovers, so I don't care."
"Then do you know who Ma Jie's other boyfriend is?" When it comes to this topic, Lin Yingxue's expression is obviously a little unnatural, but Bai Longfei has an expression of interest, which makes me helpless.
"Of course I know. Her other boyfriend is Li Gang! In fact, I also know that Ma Jie once had an affair with the old office director. Otherwise, with her work ability, how could she have stayed until now?"
