"But how did you find it?" Xiao Gao scratched his head and looked at the fence on the platform. The fence remained the same as when Li Rui fell, and the fence was blown into a layer of dust.

Xiao Gao stroked his chin, looked for a while, shook his head and said, "Then I can't help it."

I didn’t say anything. I went straight to the fence for the label and looked up and down. The wind on the top of the building was very windy. The fence was full of traces of erosion by wind and sand. Some fragments of stones have turned up on the road steps, but there is no space in which Li Rui fell.

"What are you looking at?" Xiao Gao couldn't help asking when seeing me staring at the gap in the lane.

"This..." I pointed to the road.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Gaoqi said.

"This lane is empty." I said as I climbed over the fence.

"Hey hey, old Xu, what are you doing, be careful." Xiao Gao was taken aback when he saw that I picked up a lot of stones from the road, turned it over, and hurriedly sat down and said, "What's wrong? what is the problem?"

I put the stones on the ground and spread them out. The stones look like ordinary gravel on the outside, but if you rub them lightly, the smooth texture inside will be revealed.

"I understand!" Xiao Gao slapped his thigh: "Old Xu, you are amazing. You have solved the case. Did Xu Yi deliberately spread such smooth stones behind the fence in order to kill Li Rui, and then he just turned over , It will fall, right?"

I pondered and said; "This should be close to the surface, but... Why did Li Rui give up the ping pong ball all over the floor and only pick that one?"

Xiao Gao scratched his head and thought, then suddenly stood up and said, "Hey, Old Xu, we are stupid. Manager Zhang said that the building has monitoring, right? Since there is monitoring, then the scene of Xu Yi moving the stones will also be pulled out. ,right?"

Hearing this, I nodded and said: "Then let's go and look for it." As he said, I walked out quickly.

Xiao Gao hurriedly followed, chasing me while trotting, and asked: "I said Lao Xu, why are you in such a hurry? As long as you see the video, everything will come to light."

"I'm not in a hurry, I just..."

Standing in the monitoring room, I suddenly turned around, smiled bitterly at Xiao Gao, and asked, "Do you remember what the captain said?"

"What did you say?" Xiao Gao was taken aback.

"He said this hotel was introduced by Xu Yi's parents." I said.

Xiao Gao hesitated and nodded, "Ah, what does this mean?"

I didn't speak any more, just turned over and opened the door, saw where some monitors were, and said, "Can you play all the content from yesterday to today?"

The monitors looked at each other.

"I can call Manager Chen."

Time is limited, I can't talk too much, so I made a gesture.

"it is good."

The two monitors nodded and hurriedly turned on the surveillance video...

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Xiao Gao stood there and exclaimed: "What's the matter?"

"What's going on?" The monitor next to him couldn't help asking.

"This is unreasonable." Xiao Gao walked over, after rewinding, freezes, pointing to the picture and said: "Do you see this foot when Li Rui fell? Did you see it? Oh, I saw it. Just fine, there are stones under his feet, right?"

"Yes." The two monitors came over, watched carefully for a long time, and nodded.

"But you look..." Xiao Gao began to move the video tape and said, "Did you see it? No one on the video tape moved the stones again, but we found that the stones were gone."

"Gone?"

The two monitors looked at each other.

"Yes, at least that part of the fence is missing." Xiao Gao made a gesture and said, "Do you know what's going on?"

The two monitors looked at each other and said in unison: "I don't know."

"What to do?" Xiao Gao looked at me in general for help.

I smiled bitterly, turned and walked out. At this time, the corridor was shining brightly, waves were on the carpet, and the cleaning aunt was passing by with the sheets in her arms.

"Old Xu, Old Xu, what are you thinking about?" Xiao Gao asked, patting my shoulder.

"Me." I sighed and was about to speak, when I saw Manager Chen coming from the corridor around the corner, he stopped and shouted, "Manager Chen."

"By the way, we are looking for you." Manager Chen ran over in small steps: "Where did you go? The captain and the team members and I are looking for you. By the way, why haven't the police come for an autopsy? Lying downstairs, the strangers are urging me."

"Oh..." Xiao Gao was about to speak, and I hurriedly cut in and said, "By the way, Manager Chen, I heard the captain say that this hotel was introduced by Xu Yi's parents?"

Manager Chen's expression flickered in an out of sight, but he quickly raised his head again and confessed openly: "Yes."

"That's good." I sneered in my heart and nodded and said: "That's good."

"You are..." Manager Chen quickly changed the subject.

"Let's see if there is a problem with the monitoring." Xiao Gao finally understood the meaning of my question, and said grimly: "According to the monitoring, when Li Rui had an accident, there were gravel under the fence, but let's go again. We found no traces after the investigation, but we did not find any traces of people on the surveillance. So Manager Chen, you... did you make any moves on the surveillance?"

When Manager Chen heard this, he was startled, and suddenly rubbed his hands, and smiled happily: "How dare I say... How dare I? Two Mr. Xu, don't you think I killed Li Rui? This... How do you say it?" As he said, he suddenly laughed: "Speaking of which, I don't know Li Rui at all."

"But you know Xu Yi's parents." Xiao Gao snorted, "Is this not enough?"

When Manager Chen heard this, his ginger face suddenly flashed, but he raised his eyebrows quickly and said with a smile: "I admit, I know Xu Yi's parents. I don't deny this, but I can't just because I know his parents. , Kill his classmates?"

This is indeed very reasonable. Xiao Gao was speechless for a while, but quickly waved his hand: "What about the stone? Where is the stone under the fence? Who moved? Is it you or Xu Yi? Why is there no surveillance?"

As a hotel manager, Manager Chen is accustomed to dealing with people. When he heard this, he calmed down, helped his glasses, and laughed: "This is a matter for the detectives and the police. It’s a business with me. What does it matter to people? As for the stones under the fence, when Li Rui fell down the building, he threw all the stones under his feet downstairs, so there was no place for the aisle. Isn't it easy to understand?"

"You..." Xiao Gao heard this, his veins violent, and he wanted to beat Manager Chen.

"Okay." I blocked Xiao Gao and looked up and down with Manager Chen, but saw that Manager Chen was not afraid, and proved to meet my scrutiny eyes: "Mr. Xu needs any evidence, though, in short, I definitely didn't kill Xu. Yi. As for the stone, I explained that, whether you are a detective or a policeman, you can't wrong people, right?"

At the end, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turned up, like a fox who stole the fruit.

Xiao Gao was young and energetic, his chest bulging with anger, and gritted his teeth and said: "It's not the real murderer but the accomplice, don't be proud of you!"

"Okay, Xiao Gao." I turned around to scold him, glared at him, and then smiled at Manager Chen: "We are so worried, I'm sorry, Manager Chen."

"Hahaha, it's okay." Manager Chen grinned, his glasses shining in the sun, flashing, flashing, flashing again...

"This is how to do?"

After Manager Chen left, Xiao Gao pulled me to the corner of the building and asked angrily.

I didn't have time to answer him, so I lowered my head and took out the pocket watch from my pocket-"There are 40 minutes left before the time of destruction."

40 minutes!

After 40 minutes, this place was blown up, and I was going to burn myself with this bomb!

How to do

I am also a little anxious. Turn your back in a circle.

"Don't go around, or let's just leave it alone. When the army comes, we will definitely verify the data, check DNA, and trace the traces. Then it will come to light at any rate. Now that this mess is just for the two of us, it will definitely not be possible." Xiao Gao took a cigarette out of his pocket, handed it to me, and said, "Pick a cigarette, slowly, Brother Xu, would you like to go back to the room and rest?"

I took the cigarette, took a sip, smiled bitterly, rested? In another half an hour, I should enter the cemetery to rest, but now I still have no words-what should I do

How to do

I took a few mouthfuls and threw the cigarette butt out of the window. A cool breeze blew in, causing the whole body to be chilled, and the brain was sobered a lot: "Xiao Gao, who do you think the murderer is?"

"Who is the murderer?" Xiao Gao scratched his head in a daze, and said for a while, "I think it's Xu Yi, but we have no evidence."

"Yes, Xu Yi was the murderer, but the evidence was destroyed." I sighed.
