I didn't expect that just from one sentence in Zhou Jingyi's diary, I could see so many problems. I wondered why the police officers at that time were so arbitrary in concluding that Director Zhao died in an accident? If they could check more carefully, I believe they would be able to see the problems.
I looked at Zhou Jingyi's date again, and after making sure that there were no more clues worthy of my attention, I put down the diary, picked up Director Zhao's work log on the table, and began to read it carefully.
Director Zhao's work diary records the specific content of Director Zhao's daily work. He recorded all the work in great detail. From some small things, it can be seen that Director Zhao was a very careful person during his lifetime.
I didn't have time to read the contents of the diary one by one, so I directly turned to the few days before Director Zhao's death, and soon found a diary like this.
The general content of the log was layoffs. Although this small page of paper could not record much content, for some reason, the lists of people who needed layoffs on other floors were not on it. Only the layoff list on the tenth floor was written very clearly by Director Zhao. There were many names on it, including the names of the new office director, Ma Jie, Zhou Jingyi and Li Gang, all of whom were on the layoff list!
It was exactly as I had guessed. Director Zhao's death was likely related to this layoff list! But I couldn't be sure who was the one who carried out the murder plan.
I flipped through a few more pages and finally came to the last page of the diary, which was the content of the diary on the day when Director Zhao and his colleagues went to the village for an interview.
It was clearly written in the diary that they were going to the village to do an interview report and prepare to make a documentary, and the people who were going with Director Zhao were also on the list. They were the four people involved in this case.
But soon I discovered a clue. When writing about the people who went together at the end of the log, it was not written in one go, but was divided into two parts!
I immediately held the diary under the flashlight and looked at it carefully, and then I found that the list was indeed written in two parts, because the pens used for the first and second writing were not the same color.
The names written with the first color of pen only included Director Zhao and Ma Jie, while the names written with the other color of pen added the names of the office director, Zhou Jingyi and Li Gang. It was obvious that Director Zhao initially decided that only Ma Jie would go with him on the interview, but for some unknown reason he later added the rest of the people.
This is a bit strange. Why did these people suddenly join this village interview? And after these people joined, Director Zhao died unexpectedly? So if we connect the dots, then one of these people designed the plan to kill Director Zhao.
While I was thinking about this, Lin Yingxue next to me suddenly said to me: "Come and have a look, there are clues in this notebook!"
I immediately came to Lin Yingxue's side, and she opened the notebook in her hand and handed it to me. I took a quick look at the contents inside and instantly understood why Lin Yingxue said that there were clues in the notebook.
The function of this notebook seems to be similar to that of Zhou Jingyi's diary. Li Gang uses it to record things that happen every day. Even how much money he spends every day is clearly recorded in this notebook.
The page that Lin Yingxue asked me to see was the one that recorded what happened a few days before the incident. It recorded an expense of two thousand yuan. You should know that the largest expense that Li Gang recorded in his notebook was no more than a hundred yuan. This expense of two thousand yuan was definitely a considerable sum for him.
There is a text description below the expenditure, which says that this expenditure is used as compensation for repairing the house of household X in XX village.
This XX village is the village where Director Zhao died. Why did Li Gang pay 2,000 yuan of house repair compensation to a household in this village before Director Zhao died? Obviously, Li Gang knew that the house would be broken down on the day Director Zhao went there, so he discussed with the owner in advance and arranged everything, waiting for Director Zhao to come to the door himself!
If that's the case, then Zhou Jingyi and Li Gang both have motives and suspicions to kill Director Zhao, but what about the office director? Was he involved in the conspiracy to kill Director Zhao
At this moment, I really wanted to go to the office director's office to take a closer look, but when I looked at the time on my mobile phone, I found that there were less than five minutes left until one o'clock!
At this time, I also realized that Bai Longfei and Xiao Chen had already walked in, carrying the foreigner who was tied up and bruised. The foreigner looked at me with a sneer and said, "It doesn't matter. What can you do if you catch me? The bomb is about to explode now. It's not a loss for me to have so many of you die with me!"
I ignored the foreigner, my brain was working fast, looking for anything that could be linked to the office director. Suddenly I thought of a detail, and immediately sat down next to the computer screen, turned on the computer and said to Long Fei: "Brother Long, please help me turn the surveillance footage back to the time when Ma Jie died, quickly!"
Bai Longfei didn't say anything, and immediately came forward to help me with the computer in front of me, while Lin Yingxue beside him asked in surprise: "Didn't the power go out? How come this computer is still working?"
I stared at the rapidly changing surveillance images on the computer screen and explained, "It's very simple. When we were downstairs before, we found that the surveillance probes were all in operation. It is obvious that the power supply of the entire surveillance equipment has not been cut off. Only the power supply of the lighting facilities has been cut off. The person who controlled the bomb is very familiar with the circuits here. He needs surveillance probes to monitor our every move for him."
As I was explaining, Bai Longfei had already adjusted the video back to the time when Ma Jie died. In the video, Ma Jie had her back to the surveillance camera, and then a piece of wood stabbed at the back of Ma Jie's head. However, at this moment, I immediately asked Bai Longfei to pause the video, carefully looked at the content of the surveillance screen in front of him, slowly stood up from the chair and said, "I understand, so that's how it is!"
Lin Yingxue and Bai Longfei looked at the contents on the computer screen in confusion and asked, "Ji Wen, what were you looking for just now?"
"I'm looking for the last key clue, a clue that can completely prove that Director Zhao did not die in an accident!"
As I said that, I pointed at the computer screen and said to Bai Longfei and the others, "Take a close look at this piece of wood. Do you find anything?"
After Bai Longfei and the others looked at it for a few seconds, they shook their heads and said, "It doesn't make any sense. What do you want to say? Don't keep us in suspense at this time."
I sighed and said, "Don't you find it strange? Although this piece of wood looks very long, if it is used as a beam of a house, it will appear much shorter. How did such a piece of wood stand on the roof of the house where Director Zhao lived when he died?"
After I said that, Bai Longfei finally reacted, staring at the computer screen and nodding slightly, "That's true, but this doesn't necessarily mean that Director Zhao didn't die in an accident. We haven't seen the room where Director Zhao died. What if the room was actually very small?"
"This is indeed not proof, but if you look carefully, you will definitely find that the edge of the wood has been sawed off! And the sawing marks are very obvious. This should be able to prove that Director Zhao died of homicide rather than an accident!"
The reason why I want to watch this video is because the wood that appears in this video is the original wood that killed Director Zhao. Although we linked Ma Jie's case with the case of Director Zhao's death at that time, we did not look at the wood carefully. Now when I look back, I found that there are obvious signs of being sawed off on this piece of wood!
From this we can see that the circumstances of Director Zhao’s death were definitely not as simple as they seemed on the surface. Combined with the clues I found in the hands of some relevant personnel before, this matter can be easily explained.
It wasn't just one person who killed Director Zhao, but all the people who went to the village with Director Zhao to interview at that time. It is even very likely that Ma Jie was also involved in the plan to kill Director Zhao!
The reason why they killed Director Zhao was very simple. It was because of the layoff application proposed by Director Zhao. If this layoff application was approved, then several of them would be completely unemployed. In addition, there were some conflicts between Director Zhao and these people before, so these people reached a common goal, which was to create an accident to make Director Zhao completely disappear from this world. In this way, they would not be laid off!
So they planned this rural interview murder together, and disguised it as Director Zhao's accidental death. Then, after the incident, they testified against each other, and forced the speculation that Director Zhao died in an accident to become a fact. As a result, no one was willing to continue the investigation, and the case was never resolved!
When I said this, Bai Longfei immediately looked at his watch and said anxiously, "Don't say anything for now. Since you have found out the truth about Director Zhao's death, hurry out and shout the truth out in the corridor so that the person who controlled the bomb can hear it. There is only one minute left!"
I smiled calmly, and suddenly turned my gaze to the security guard Xiao Chen next to me, and said with a smile: "No need, he can hear everything we say, because he is right in front of us!"
When I looked at Xiao Chen, everyone also turned their eyes to Xiao Chen. Seeing Xiao Chen's innocent expression, they looked at me with some questioning eyes, hoping that I would give them an explanation.
I ignored the others, stared into Xiao Chen's eyes and said, "I almost forgot, I shouldn't call you Xiao Chen, maybe I should call you Zhao Hao, am I right?"
