Perhaps because we stayed outside for too long, the two policemen soon came out to look for us. Before I could say anything, Bai Longfei said, "Go and call everyone inside. We already know who the murderer is."
The two policemen were startled at first, and then looked at us with disbelief. They didn't call anyone else, as if they wanted to ask us for details of what happened. However, Bai Longfei didn't have such a good temper. After a scolding, they went to the monitoring room to call for help in a dejected manner.
Soon, the three security guards and the office director in the monitoring room followed the two police officers out. Judging from their state, they seemed to have not yet recovered from the strange scene in the monitoring screen. They were all dejected and completely depressed.
"Everyone, cheer up. After our investigation just now, we can basically determine who the murderer is! And we have completely cracked the strange murder method in the elevator!"
I said this with a calm smile, and everyone who was originally depressed was shocked after hearing what I said. The office director even said in a trembling voice: "How could there be a murderer? This incident was clearly done by a ghost. Could the murderer you found be Director Zhao's ghost?"
"I've already said that there are no ghosts in this world. Everything that is happening before our eyes, no matter how outrageous it is, can only be a man-made event! The reason why we feel scared and weird is that the murderer deliberately did it! If you say something demonic again, I don't mind going back and charging you with obstruction of public service!"
This is what I learned from Bai Longfei. When you meet someone who is unreasonable and unreasonable, you can't continue talking without scare him.
Sure enough, after being frightened by me, the office director immediately became timid, lowered his head and dared not continue speaking.
In fact, except for the office director, everyone else looked at me with great interest, waiting for me to reveal the truth.
I glanced at everyone present and then slowly told the truth.
In fact, this case is not particularly difficult to handle. There are just a few places that make people feel weird. If you remove the weird elements and look at the case again, it becomes very ordinary.
Let’s talk about these strange points first. The first is the strange midnight spiritual sound, then the consequences of the two deaths caused by the midnight spiritual sound, and then the death of Li Gang in the elevator. If these points are explained clearly, then all the truth will be presented before your eyes.
First, let's talk about the midnight ghost voice. In fact, this is just an ordinary call between the murderer and the deceased. Apart from the strange voice of the murderer, the rest is that the deceased always dies on time according to the time set by the murderer. In other words, if you know the murderer's murder plan, anyone can do this.
So why was the murderer able to kill the victim accurately on time? That's because the murderer had mastered the life patterns of the deceased, so the murderer knew when to kill the deceased with the highest success rate.
When the first victim, Ma Jie, died, we arrived at the scene and learned about the Midnight Spirit Sound from Bai Qi. Then, from subsequent investigations, we learned that Director Zhao, who had died in an accident not long ago, was inextricably linked to this case, because the wood that killed Ma Jie was the same beam that was brought back by the office director and used to kill Director Zhao.
Regardless of the real reason why the office director brought the wood back, just starting from this piece of wood, the murderer seemed to have the idea of revenge for the office director. It is precisely because of this that we focused on the office director for the next period of time and deviated from the direction.
Even when the office director was threatened by the midnight spirit sound, we still thought that this case revolved around the death of Director Zhao. But we were wrong. The real focus of this case was still the first victim, Ma Jie!
The two people who died now, including Director Zhao, all had a close relationship with Ma Jie. The office director was Ma Jie's new lover, Director Zhao was Ma Jie's former lover, and Li Gang, who we suspect, was Ma Jie's legitimate boyfriend. Since all the clues are connected to Ma Jie, the real cause of death of these people must be found in Ma Jie. Considering the relationship between these three deceased and Ma Jie, the possibility of love killing is very high.
After hearing what I said, the office director, who had calmed down, suddenly became emotional again. He pointed at me and said tremblingly, "You want to wrongly accuse me again! I thought you were all good people before, but I didn't expect that you would use such despicable means to put the blame on me in the end!"
I looked at the office director helplessly and said, "I'm not talking about you, why are you so excited?"
"How could it be that you're not talking about me? Now, except for me, all of Ma Jie's lovers are dead, even Ma Jie herself is dead. If you really judge it to be a murder of passion, then I'm the only one left. Who else could be the murderer but me?"
Bai Longfei stared at the office director coldly and said, "If you are not asked to speak, just shut up quietly. We have our own judgment on right and wrong. Ji Wen will not wrongly accuse anyone!"
For the office director, Bai Longfei is his nightmare. As long as Bai Longfei opens his mouth, he dares not say another word.
I nodded and said, "Don't get excited. The person I'm talking about is definitely not you. And who told you that Ma Jie only has one lover left?"
The office director was immediately confused and shocked when he heard this: "Are you saying that Ma Jie has other lovers? How come I don't know about this?"
I sneered and said, "If even you knew about this, then the murderer would have been caught long ago! The lover hidden by Ma Jie is the murderer in this case! I can even boldly guess that Ma Jie's real lover is not Li Gang, but this person!"
As I was talking, the three security guards immediately started to whisper to each other. It was obvious that they had not expected that Ma Jie actually had a lover. The office director immediately asked excitedly: "Then tell me, who was Ma Jie's last lover? How did you find out?"
I smiled and said, "Don't worry about this matter. Let me first explain another suspicious point to everyone, which is how Li Gang died!"
I believe that the cause of Li Gang's death is the biggest doubt in this case. It is precisely because we saw the surveillance footage of Li Gang being dismembered within five seconds that the people present became afraid. After all, it is theoretically impossible for a person to be dismembered within five seconds. However, when we investigated just now, we found that this was not the case at all, because the person who dismembered Li Gang was not a human!
A casual remark by Bai Longfei before reminded me of this completely. He said that Li Gang’s body might have been glued together by the murderer, and then the shaking of the elevator shattered the body.
This sentence sounds illogical, but it reminded me thoroughly. Because the surveillance footage in the elevator is always frozen and the elevator buttons cannot be captured, we always think that the elevator is always stationary. However, when I looked at the surveillance footage again, I finally discovered that when the surveillance footage appeared, the lens had a not very obvious shaking state. It was this state that made me understand everything, including the cause of Li Gang's death.
I have been wondering what kind of huge force dismembered Li Gang in such an empty closed space. However, when I realized that the elevator was actually running, I finally understood this, because Li Gang was dismembered by the huge force generated by the running elevator!
In fact, Li Gang was already unconscious or dead before entering the elevator. His body was carried into the elevator by the murderer, who then wrapped a large amount of extremely thin steel wire around Li Gang's body and tied the other end of the steel wire to the steel cables above and below the elevator through the elevator's skylight. In this way, once the elevator is running, the huge force generated by the steel cable will act on the steel wire wrapped around Li Gang, pulling the steel wire to drag Li Gang's body to the top of the elevator.
However, after Li Gang's body reached the top of the elevator, the elevator did not stop but continued to run. At this time, the force of the elevator would continue to pull Li Gang, and those extremely thin steel wires would tightly tighten Li Gang's body due to the force of the elevator. Naturally, Li Gang's body strength could not resist the force of the elevator. In this way, those steel wires could cut through Li Gang's body, eventually causing the effect of being torn into pieces.
Since it was cut with steel wire, the cuts on Li Gang's body must be extremely neat, and it looks like the body was cut up with a sharp weapon. Moreover, the elevator's descending speed is extremely fast, enough to complete the cutting of the body within five seconds!
The evidence we said we were looking for was the bloody wire that the murderer hadn't taken off the elevator cable yet! And we know that each section of the elevator cable is in the same position when the elevator stops on the same floor, so Bai Longfei forced the elevator door on the eleventh floor open and tried to adjust the elevator back to the tenth floor. Sure enough, he found that the wire was right above the elevator, which means that the murderer committed the crime on the tenth floor!
After listening to me explain the whole process, everyone had an expression of sudden enlightenment on their faces, while the office director said in disbelief: "Although it is true that it can be done, why did the surveillance camera's footage suddenly disappear for five seconds? I don't believe that this can also be controlled by the murderer!"
I smiled softly and said, "Who said the murderer can't be controlled? He just used a small mechanism!"
