I don’t know if it was a coincidence or something, but when we entered Zhou Jingyi’s office and saw Zhou Jingyi’s body hanging in the air, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared outside the window without any warning, illuminating Zhou Jingyi’s body hanging in the window with a pale color, like a female ghost coming to claim her life!
We all came here with the intention of catching the murderer, but who would have thought that when we came in, the murderer was actually dead!
Perhaps it was because I had basically reconstructed the case before. Although everyone saw Zhou Jingyi's body, no one thought about ghosts and gods. Even the cowardly office director sneered and said, "She must have known that we found out the truth, so she committed suicide out of fear of punishment! I didn't expect this woman to be so vicious!"
The three security guards and two police officers also agreed with what the office director said, but apart from them, the three people in our special case team did not echo him. Instead, they all stared at Zhou Jingyi's body solemnly, because we all knew that Zhou Jingyi did not commit suicide.
If it was someone who committed suicide, her face would definitely not be so hideous, and there would not be such obvious signs of struggle on her body. More importantly, there was no stool or anything like that under Zhou Jingyi's feet to support her body hanging on the rope. It was obvious that Zhou Jingyi was also murdered!
But why was Zhou Jingyi murdered? Could it be that there is another murderer in this case
Actually, before I suspected some details of Zhou Jingyi's murder case, I had wondered if there was another murderer in this case? Because I felt that Zhou Jingyi would never think of such a sophisticated murder plan, and she would never know my phone number. More importantly, we had two police officers guarding the door of the newspaper office at noon today. How did she follow us wearing a mask? If there was another murderer, then all these questions could be solved.
There must be another person who instigated Zhou Jingyi to kill and made a murder plan for her. That person also followed us. More importantly, this person is in this newspaper office right now! Because Zhou Jingyi was definitely killed by this person, and even the reason why the elevator stopped on the first floor was probably done by this person!
But now everyone in the newspaper office is here. Is this hidden murderer right next to us, or has he been hiding in the dark
Of course, the most terrifying thing is that this person must be someone who knows me, because he knows my phone number. The single 'midnight voice' that I received was from this hidden murderer. Could he be someone close to me
Among the people present at the scene, the only ones around me, that is, the ones who know my phone number, are Bai Longfei and Lin Yingxue. I would not doubt these two people at all because they are the people I trust the most. The only ones I would doubt are the two police officers next to me.
Because at noon, I called these two police officers and asked them to write down my phone number, so it is very likely that they leaked my phone number. In addition, these two police officers were acting cute with me the whole time today and said that everyone in the local police station was busy and no one else came to support us. Could it be that this incident is related to the local police station
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that my imagination was a little too big. Finally, I felt that I seemed to have gone a little off track. I immediately stopped the urge to continue thinking and forced myself to pull myself out of the situation.
"Brother Long, can you go up and help me see what happened to the body?"
The body was hung quite high, and only Bai Longfei, who was tall and strong, could see it clearly by standing on a stool. Bai Longfei nodded, found a chair nearby, and began to examine the body carefully.
While Bai Longfei was examining the body, I also turned on the lights in the office and looked carefully at Zhou Jingyi's body from below. There were no external injuries or bloodstains on her body. She must have been hanged to death by the murderer.
As for the time of death, this can actually be speculated. Zhou Jingyi's death time should be not far from Li Gang's death time, or even earlier than Li Gang's death. First of all, we have not seen Zhou Jingyi come out. Secondly, if Zhou Jingyi died after Li Gang was dismembered, the murderer should not have had the time to kill Zhou Jingyi. Therefore, Zhou Jingyi should have been silenced by the murderer after she knocked Li Gang unconscious and set up the killing elevator.
At this time, Lin Yingxue said beside me: "Ji Wen, do you think we have been wrong from the beginning to the end? Could it be that the murderer of this case is not Zhou Jingyi at all, but someone else? That's why Zhou Jingyi was killed. Should we check Zhou Jingyi's phone to see if she received that call before she died?"
I have to say that Lin Yingxue's guess is very reasonable. After all, until now we have only guessed about Zhou Jingyi's purpose and means of murder, and there is no conclusive evidence to prove that Zhou Jingyi did it. Although the probability of Zhou Jingyi killing people is very high, it is possible that Zhou Jingyi is also a victim.
I nodded gently and said, "Your analysis is correct. We can't rule out this possibility. Let's take a look at Zhou Jingyi's phone first."
As I said that, I asked Bai Longfei to find Zhou Jingyi's cell phone from her pocket and handed it to me. Fortunately, her phone was set with a fingerprint lock. After we opened the phone with Zhou Jingyi's finger, we directly looked through the call records, trying to find the number that I was familiar with.
Soon I discovered that in Zhou Jingyi's mobile phone communication records, there was a strange number that had called her five or six times yesterday and today, and each call lasted an average of about ten minutes. I immediately took out my own mobile phone and the office director's mobile phone, and compared the two numbers that had threatened us with "Midnight Spirit Sound". I was shocked to find that this number did not belong to any of the first two numbers, but was a completely unfamiliar number!
In any case, this number is definitely unusual, because Zhou Jingyi had never contacted the owner of this number before, but she was in such close contact yesterday and today. It is obvious that this number is inextricably linked to this case.
While staring at the third unfamiliar number in my phone, I called Bai Qi with my own phone, wanting him to help me check what was going on with this phone number. But strangely, when I dialed Bai Qi's phone number this time, there was no signal at all!
What on earth is Bai Qi doing? What time is it? Is he really that busy
I tried to contact Bai Qi several times but failed to reach him. Finally, I had no choice but to put the phone back and asked the two police officers next to me to contact their people and ask them to come over to check the body and clean up the crime scene.
When the two police officers contacted their own people, I asked Bai Longfei if he had found anything. Bai Longfei jumped down from his chair and shook his head helplessly, "Nothing, no external injuries, and the bones are completely normal. It seems that only Ding Yang can come here to conduct a thorough and detailed autopsy."
I was about to ask some more questions when I heard the two police officers behind me who were responsible for contacting the local police station suddenly asked in confusion: "What's going on? Why is there no signal on my phone?"
Their phones have no signal either
When I heard the news, I suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness in my heart, and immediately asked everyone present to check whether their mobile phones had signal. As I expected, all of our mobile phones had lost signal!
"Strange? Is it because of the thunder outside?" The office director turned off his mobile phone with a puzzled look on his face and then restarted it, but the phone still had no signal.
Everyone else thought that the sudden and strange loss of signal on the phone was related to the thunder outside, but Bai Longfei, Lin Yingxue and I had experienced something before, and at this moment we looked at each other, and it seemed that their thoughts were the same as mine.
That is the scene at this moment, which is very similar to the experience in the White Building!
Thinking back to my experience in the White Building, it was simply a nightmare of mine. In an abandoned building that had lost contact with the outside world, all of us were played around by the God Organization. Weird scenes and horrific experiences were replayed in front of my eyes, one after another, and slowly overlapped with everything in front of me. Today's newspaper office is another White Building!
At this moment, the ominous premonition in my heart became stronger and stronger. I didn't have time to think about it anymore, so I immediately said to Bai Longfei: "Brother Long, let's go! Something is wrong with this newspaper!"
Bai Longfei understood what I meant, and without further ado, he immediately led everyone towards the exit downstairs, intending to leave this seemingly isolated newspaper office as soon as possible.
Since the elevator was occupied by Li Gang's body, we had no choice but to go down the stairs step by step. However, when we arrived at the lobby on the first floor and were about to walk towards the door, suddenly, all the lights in the entire building went out in an instant without any warning! The newspaper building, which was originally brightly lit, instantly turned into a cage trapped in endless darkness!
"Don't be nervous! Keep going! Get out of here!"
Now that things have come to this point, it proves that our worries are completely correct. The others don't know what has happened, but seeing how nervous we are and the changes that have occurred in the newspaper building, they should know that something is wrong. No one asked any questions and they just followed us all the way to the gate.
However, just as we were about to reach the gate of the newspaper office, Bai Longfei, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped and stretched out his hand to stop all of us behind him. At this time, the lightning outside was becoming more and more frequent, and I whispered to Bai Longfei what was going on.
Bai Longfei pointed forward without saying anything. I looked in the direction of his finger and saw a small red light flashing faintly at the gate of the newspaper office in front of me. Although it was dark all around and I couldn't see what it was, I already understood why Bai Longfei asked us to stop.
That thing that's glowing red is probably a bomb!
