me and that boy

?When I appeared at the woman's house, she was holding a picture of her husband and secretly wiping tears.I knocked on the door politely, and after getting her permission, I sat down on the sofa.

I have seen too many crying women like this, they are like objects abandoned by their husbands, living a casual life.I am an ordinary single male dick who investigates whether men and women are cheating in marriage. Many people call us private detectives, but we are fundamentally different from big detectives like Sherlock Holmes. After we find the truth, we tend to pay more attention to settlement income than Which is right and which is wrong.

However, this chat was different from my previous chats.

"Ms. Li, if I'm right. You want me to investigate whether your husband is having an affair?" I cut to the chase.

She nodded, then shook her head blankly.

I didn't care, and asked again, "Can you tell me the specific situation?"

She didn't speak anymore, got up and went to the bedroom, and when she came out, she had an extra newspaper in her hand.

I picked up the newspaper. It was a newspaper in our city a few days ago. The newspaper introduced that a murder occurred in a 20-story building in this city that was about to be demolished. The headline was quite sensational:

Murder in an Abandoned Building! !The murderer mysteriously evaporated after brutally killing two people? ! "

According to reports, the case is roughly as follows:

A certain apartment in this city, because it was built in the 90s, the residents inside privately rebuilt the load-bearing walls, and the nearby hospital responded to the call of the state to expand the inpatient department, so the state classified this building as a demolition building. The 20-storey old building got the demolition money and moved around.In the end, there were only 5 people living in it, one room per person.

The five people are: the deceased Fan Jie who lived in room 20 on the 2002th floor, the deceased Mark who lived in room 2006, Xu Lin who lived in room 2 on the second floor, Zhao, a college student who lived in room 0202 on the first floor, and the gatekeeper who lived at the gate on the first floor Uncle Wu.

"It's easy to remember. Two people lived on the top 20th floor of the building, and they were all killed; one lived on the first floor, and there was also a guard, and one lived on the second floor, surnamed Xu." I said to myself.

The time of the incident was a late night not long ago - after reading this, I looked at the photos in the report, this 20-story behemoth.For a moment, it seemed to me like a lonely beast, ready to pounce on anyone who entered.I imagined the scene that night: there should be a few lights, most of them were pitch black, and the whole building stood indifferently.

Were the lights of the two dead men on the top floor on when the murder happened?If turned on, wouldn't the lights on the top of the building look more like... the vicious eyes of this beast

That night was not dark and windy, but a beautiful day with bright moon and bright stars.At the beginning, Xu Lin in room 0202 was listening to the radio on the first floor doorman; while the doorman Wang Bo closed the door at 9 pm according to the regulations, and checked the building floor by floor for strangers on a whim; room, sent Xu Lin back to his room, and stopped the elevator in the building.

At 10 o'clock, the doorman Uncle Wang was worried about everyone's safety. He confirmed that the four people upstairs were all in his room through the telephone in the building as a matter of routine.

I know that the so-called "inside the building phone" does not pass through the telecommunications bureau, so the call records cannot be checked—that is, it is impossible to determine the authenticity of the doorman's testimony.

I patted my head: I'm used to doubting everyone's every word—but, that's not a good habit to brag about.

After the doorman confirmed the phone call, he went to bed in the reception room, and was awakened by the ringing of the phone at about 10:40.Xu Lin, who lived on the second floor, called and said that he heard Fan Jie, who was supposed to be in Room 2 on the top floor, calling for help outside his door, and then... "Suddenly there was no sound." He was very scared and immediately called the guard Uncle Wang.

The guard didn't even have time to put on his coat, so he rushed to the second floor and found Fan Jie lying on the stairs on the second floor with his face down and his neck twisted strangely. It was obvious that his neck was broken—he was naturally out of breath.

The guard Wang Bo hurriedly went downstairs to contact other people by phone.Zhao, a college student on the first floor, was still reviewing in his room, but Mark, who lived with Fan Jie on the 20th floor, never answered the phone.After calling the police, the doorman climbed up the stairs to the 20th floor and found that the door of Mark's room was open, but the door on the balcony was closed.He went out onto the balcony to find Mark lying face down on the ground with a broken neck - and he too was dead.

The police arrived 10 minutes later and the cause of death was immediately established.Neither of the two deceased showed signs of wrestling with the murderer. They were all hit on the head with a hammer wrapped in cloth.The time of death was around 10:10pm to 10:40pm. Mark on the balcony on the 20th floor died first, followed by Fan Jie at the entrance on the 2nd floor. The time between the two deaths did not exceed 10 minutes.

The news also quoted an analysis in the autopsy report: Judging from the condition of the wound, the murderer hit the victim's head from behind, resulting in a fractured skull and fainting.Because the murder weapon was wrapped in cloth, the wound did not bleed.But what is special is that in general cases, the victim's head was hit at the upper back, which is commonly known as the "back of the head". position is much higher.Because the two deceased were young and strong men of 1.70 meters, the murderer was most likely taller than 1.90 meters.It is worth mentioning that, as can be seen from the wound, the murderer's hand is quite strong.

"A tall man with quite strong hands?" I squinted my eyes and imagined the image of a muscular man. "Anyway, he is at least smart and knows some counter-detection methods." The police found nothing helpful at the scene. Clues to solve the case: maybe fingerprints, hair, or blood, nothing.

This report also focuses on the testimony of Xu Lin from the second floor.Because the stairway is between Room 2 and Room 0201; that is to say, Lei actually died not far from the door of Xu Lin's room, so her testimony is extremely important.

Xu Lin introduced the situation like this: "About 10:2020 p.m.? I never know the details." He smiled apologetically. .Then I heard a rush of footsteps. It was very unusual, so I listened carefully for a while. Even through the door, it was easy to distinguish. It was the footsteps of Fan Jie who lives in Room [-]: He is my good friend. A good man, my friend, who used to help me—dead Mark was a good man, too."

He lowered his head, the shadow covered his face, his shoulders trembled slightly, and when he spoke again, his voice was a little whimpering. "I heard Fan Jie running down the stairs in a hurry. It felt like he was going down three or four steps. Behind him, there was a sound of footsteps chasing after him," he raised his head, his eyes were red, but his face was pale . "The footsteps, that sound heavy and unhurried, but really fast—no, it's not anybody I know. But if I listen to it again, I'll be sure to recognize it."

"Very good!" After reading this, I want to laugh a little, "If this is a novel, he will be killed by the murderer immediately."

Xu Lin had tears in his eyes. "Fan Jie ran to the second floor and started calling for help. Because all this happened so quickly, I realized at this moment that the situation might be serious. I was about to call Uncle Wang, but..." He snapped He opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word "...he just shouted a word, and suddenly it disappeared. I heard a very dull knocking sound, and a few seconds later, there was another sound - that kind of heavy object knocking The sound of hitting flesh." He bit his lip, "I heard it just outside the door—it was a nightmare."

He gasped for breath, and seemed to be still in fear. "I wanted to scream, but I didn't dare, and I was afraid to make a sound even when I took a breath—for, the footsteps came again. But this time it was outside my door. The murderer came to my door !"

"In a house where no one lives, the doors are sealed with seals. There is no seal on my door, so it is easy to conclude that someone lives in it. Maybe, he guessed that I heard Fan Jie's half call for help, and he was going to kill me .” Xu Lin clenched his hands tightly, flushed with force.

"However, since the lights in my room were not turned on, he seemed to be hesitant, and there was no movement for a long time. Maybe the murderer stood outside my door for a long time, maybe it was just a moment, I don't know, I didn't feel it anymore, I was sweating all over my body .Then, I heard a knock on the door—the murderer was knocking on my door, he was knocking on my door...one time, another time...boom...boom...every time it strangled my heart Tighter. My head felt a little dizzy, and the blood in my whole body seemed to be drained, and then..."

He covered his bluish face, "I passed out. I don't know what happened afterwards. Anyway, as soon as I woke up, I called Uncle Wang, the guard. Please ask Uncle Wang for the rest."
