Looking at this bloody scene and smelling the stench in the air, I felt an itchy throat and a sour stomach. Fortunately, I have seen many corpses in this period of time, otherwise, I would have vomited on the spot.
But before I vomited, a security guard next to me, the police officer who came down with us, and the office director bent over and vomited on the spot. Smelling the complex smell in the air and listening to the sounds of them vomiting, I finally couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately found a corner and vomited out everything I had eaten this afternoon.
I wiped my mouth and tears and felt much better, but the two policemen had vomited so much that they couldn't even stand. Bai Longfei rolled his eyes at them and walked directly to the elevator entrance. He was knowledgeable and didn't care about such a small scene at all. He put on a mask and squatted at the elevator entrance to watch the situation inside.
I also asked Bai Longfei for a mask and wore it when I came to the elevator. Since I had already vomited everything I could, I didn't feel any resistance when I saw this scene. I looked carefully at the scene in the elevator.
The scene inside the elevator was roughly the same as what I had seen outside before. Li Gang had been torn into pieces and his body was broken into many pieces and scattered on the ground. The elevator was basically a river of blood, and many internal organs were constantly wriggling. It was as disgusting as it could be.
I looked at it for a few seconds and felt a little nauseous again. I quickly looked away and asked with my back to Bai Longfei, "Brother Long, can you see anything?"
Bai Longfei said: "Li Gang must have been dismembered by a sharp weapon, and judging by the facial expression on his head, he must have suffered great pain before his death, so that his expression is very hideous. I can't tell anything else. I guess it will take a forensic doctor to figure it out."
Originally, we had basically locked down the murderer as Li Gang, and were planning to catch him in the act tonight, but who knew that Li Gang died before the scheduled time!
What on earth is going on? Could it be that the murderer is someone else? But if the murderer is someone else, what is his motive for killing? Also, why did he kill Li Gang first, instead of killing me and the office director, the two people who received the midnight spiritual sound
Unless, Li Gang was also a victim, and he also received this midnight spiritual sound, so he died earlier!
Thinking of this, I immediately asked Bai Longfei to find Li Gang's cell phone from his pocket, wiped the blood on it, and found that it was still usable. Then I called me with Li Gang's cell phone, wrote down his phone number, and finally dialed Bai Qi's number, ready to ask Bai Qi for help.
It is already past eleven o'clock in the evening. I don't know if Bai Qi can help me. Soon Bai Qi answered the phone. I told Bai Qi what happened here. Bai Qi was silent the whole time and I didn't know what he meant.
"Got it. I'll ask someone to look into the communication records of this phone number. I'll send it to you once I find out. I have something else to deal with here, so I may not be able to help you. Please contact the local police station and ask them to send someone to help."
When I heard this, I immediately felt a little strange. This was the first time that Bai Qi did not help us in time when we encountered a problem, but chose to shirk responsibility. I thought to myself, what on earth had happened to him that required him to invest so much energy
But I didn't say much. I agreed immediately and hung up the phone. I casually looked through Li Gang's mobile phone, and soon I found a lot of Ma Jie's call records in his mobile phone. Of course, the most important thing is that I found an unfamiliar number in his call records. I compared it with the unfamiliar number that called the office director at noon, and the two were exactly the same.
The number called Li Gang at exactly four o'clock in the afternoon, and the call lasted only ten seconds. It seems there is no need to guess, Li Gang also received a call from the murderer, but he did not say anything. Perhaps he thought it was someone's prank.
Now the case has reached a deadlock again. It seems that it is not feasible to investigate from the line of Ma Jie's boyfriend. In this way, there is only one reason that can really cause the death of the deceased in this case, which is the truth of Director Zhao's death! Because up to now, the people who died and those who were threatened were all the people who went to the village with Director Zhao to interview!
But there are too few clues about Director Zhao’s death. If I start from this aspect, I feel very embarrassed.
I couldn't stand the smell in the elevator any more, so I immediately left the elevator and came to the security guards and police officers who had long since hidden away. Looking at their haggard faces, I asked helplessly, "Who discovered the body first?"
The security guard sitting on the ground raised his head and looked at me haggardly and said, "I discovered it first."
"Tell me the details of how you found the body."
The security guard seemed unwilling to answer this question. He was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "Just now at eleven o'clock, I was going to take the elevator to the top floor to start patrolling each floor, because we have to patrol every hour, and it was my turn at eleven o'clock. But when I arrived at the elevator entrance, I found that the elevator was parked on the first floor, and I seemed to smell a foul odor coming from the elevator entrance, so I curiously pressed the elevator button to see what was going on, but who knew that when the elevator opened, it was actually a scene like this."
As the security guard spoke, he seemed to recall the scene he had just seen. He turned around and began to dry heave. The other two security guards also said that they came out after hearing the security guard's screams, and when they came out they saw the disgusting scene.
In this way, we can be sure that the deceased Li Gang did not make any sound when he died, because the whole building was very quiet. If Li Gang had screamed when he died, we would have been attracted out by the screams.
The three security guards in front of us have been together all the time, so there is no possibility that they committed the crime. Most of the people on the tenth floor are with us. Only Zhou Jingyi is working alone in her office. However, judging from the state of death of the deceased, Zhou Jingyi should not be the murderer because she does not have enough strength to dismember Li Gang.
So what's going on? Is there someone hidden in this newspaper office that we don't know about? Or did the murderer use some trick to conceal the truth, making the scene of Li Gang's death full of weirdness
Just as I was thinking hard, my cell phone suddenly rang. Someone sent me a WeChat message. I opened it and saw that the message was from Bai Qi. It was a voice message and a line of text. It said that the call Li Gang received this time was from the same number as the deceased Ma Jie and the office director. He also sent the voice content. I turned on the voice content and set it to external speaker, and suddenly an eerie voice came from my phone.
"In seven hours, you will be able to see me, because I will be right next to you!"
The only difference is that this voice recording also includes Li Gang’s reply. Li Gang only said one sentence: "What a psycho!" and then hung up the phone.
It seems that everything is as I guessed. Li Gang did not take this call seriously, so we didn't know that he had received such a call.
The voice was extremely frightening, especially in the empty lobby on the first floor of the newspaper office. The office director collapsed on the spot, covering his ears and screaming desperately, saying things like "Director Zhao's ghost" and "curse".
I asked Lin Yingxue to beat up the office director, and he finally calmed down. Then I asked the security guard, "You said before that you patrol every hour. Do you use the elevator every time you patrol?"
"Yes, we all took the elevator up and then walked down on elevator patrol."
"So how long does each patrol take?"
"About half an hour."
I nodded slightly. It seemed that Li Gang's death time should be between 10:30 and 11:00. Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that the security guard killed him, because only one of the three security guards went out on patrol each time. So I asked, "Who was the person on patrol at 10 o'clock?"
The two security guards pointed at the one who was still retching and found Li Gang's body and said, "It's Xiao Chen again. He lost two games in a row, so he was on patrol at 10 and 11 o'clock."
I turned around and looked at the security guard named Xiao Chen who was retching. Seeing that he looked desperate, it was unlikely that he had committed murder. Then, among all of us, who else had left alone between 10:30 and 11:00
Suddenly, a question occurred to me. There are only two cameras available in this newspaper office, and one of them is the camera in the elevator. Why don’t we check the surveillance video
I cursed myself for being so stupid and immediately asked two police officers to contact the local police station to perform an autopsy. Then I asked Xiao Chen and three other security guards to take us to the monitoring room on the tenth floor and asked them to adjust the surveillance video in the elevator to after ten o'clock to see how Li Gang died.
But who would have thought that when we turned on the surveillance video, we found that the surveillance camera in the elevator was also broken! Because the surveillance video was completely dark and we couldn't see anything!
This is strange. Today we clearly saw Li Gang maintaining the surveillance camera in the elevator. Could it be that he was not repairing it, but destroying it? Why did he do this
Just when we were at a loss for words, Xiao Chen, who kept speeding up the video, suddenly exclaimed, "There's a picture!"
We immediately looked at the screen in front of us. The picture displayed on the screen showed us standing at the elevator entrance and Li Gang's body. In other words, when we were investigating the body just now, the surveillance camera was actually working!
Xiao Chen immediately rewound the video and at about 10:40, he finally saw Li Gang sitting on the floor alone, leaning against the wall of the elevator!
At this moment he looked as if he was unconscious, but before we could see clearly what happened to him, the picture disappeared again, but this time the disappearance only lasted about five seconds before it returned to normal. But when the picture was restored, we were shocked to find that in the five seconds when the picture disappeared, Li Gang, who had been sitting on the ground, had turned into a pile of body parts!
