Escape From the Library

【Construction Site Mystery-12】

Yue Xingwen sent a message on the research group channel, asking everyone to come to the corner on the east side of the 6th floor of Area C immediately, and soon, the students ran over panting.

Seeing the terrifying scene in front of them, everyone froze in place, the hairs on their backs stood on end!

The eyes of the man who was sealed in the concrete wall were staring straight at them with his eyes widened in horror before he died!

The body and face of the deceased were covered with a layer of cement, like a clay sculpture of a living person, and a cloth ball was stuffed in his mouth, so that no matter how frightened he was, he could not make any sound for help.

Ke Shaobin's face turned slightly pale, and he asked in a low voice, "When he was sealed in the wall, he was still alive, right?"

Zhang Xiaonian said: "The murderer should have started from his legs and slowly applied cement upwards. He was placed inside the wall and watched his body being covered by the cement bit by bit..."

Liu Zhaoqing imagined the scene for a while, and couldn't help rubbing the goosebumps on his arms: "He must have been very desperate before he died, seeing with his own eyes that he was sealed in the wall, his mouth was still gagged, and he couldn't speak, fuck... this It's too miserable."

Jiang Pingce said coldly: "The murderer obviously hated him so much that he killed him in this way, which made him suffer mentally for a long time before he died."

If it is a "one-shot kill" method of killing, the deceased will not feel too much pain.The murder method used by the murderer mainly focused on torturing the other party's spirit. Although there were no wounds or bloodstains on the body of the deceased, and the body was intact, he was in extreme fear every minute and every second before death. , spent in despair.

This kind of slow death is the most tormenting, similar to "lingzhi execution", and it will not leave bloodstains to arouse suspicion.The murderer sealed his body inch by inch with cement, and the deceased spent the last stage of his life in extreme panic.

No wonder the eyes are about to pop out.

Yue Xingwen looked away from the deceased, looked at everyone and said, "What do you think? Who is the murderer?"

The students looked at each other in blank dismay.

Ke Shaobin analyzed in a low voice: "Jiang Dexin signed the agreement yesterday afternoon and left the construction site. It was three o'clock in the afternoon. Halfway through the car, he excused himself to deal with private matters, and then disappeared. He disappeared at around 03:30. But yesterday afternoon , Several suspects on the construction site have been gathering together to chat, and they have no time to commit crimes."

Yue Xingwen agreed with Ke Shaobin's analysis very much, nodded and said: "That's right, Zhao Xuemei, Zhao Qiang, Zhao Anming, many people proved that they talked about the wedding together yesterday afternoon, and they didn't go back to the dormitory until seven o'clock in the evening. There is no time to commit crimes. Before asking everyone to visit the workers, did anyone leave the construction site yesterday afternoon?"

Everyone shook their heads: "No one left."

Mr. Jiang disappeared at 03:30 yesterday afternoon. When he disappeared, all the workers on the construction site had never left here, and there was no time to commit crimes.Why did Jiang always show up at the construction site suddenly?Could Mr. Jiang sneak back to the construction site, climb up to the 6th floor by himself, and pose for someone to kill him?

Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce exchanged a look.

Jiang Pingce said calmly: "Jiang Dexin disappeared at 03:30 yesterday afternoon, and the time of death may not be in the afternoon. In broad daylight, someone sealed a living person into a concrete wall on the 6th floor. Other people's attention. I am more inclined that the murderer secretly carried the deceased to the sixth floor in the middle of the night and sealed it into the wall."

This speculation was immediately recognized by the students.

Yue Xingwen agreed: "It's really easy to be bumped into during the day. In the middle of the night, when everyone on the construction site is asleep, and then seal President Jiang's secret in the wall, you can be unaware. That is to say, Jiang Mr. Jiang was first kidnapped yesterday afternoon, or knocked out, and temporarily hid somewhere. In the middle of the night, the murderer sealed Mr. Jiang who woke up into a concrete wall."

If they hadn't searched for corpses everywhere and dug up the wall, maybe Jiang Dexin would have remained in the wall without anyone noticing when the building was finally completed. .

Jiang Pingce said: "The key point is that Jiang Dexin disappeared yesterday afternoon. None of the workers went out this afternoon. Who kidnapped him?"

Yue Xingwen thought for a while, and said, "Is it possible that there are people outside the construction site who are there to support and join hands in committing the crime?"

Since the workers on the construction site had never been out, it was impossible for Jiang Dexin to meet any workers when he disappeared yesterday afternoon.Jiang Dexin wouldn't be foolishly waiting around the construction site until late at night, right?There must be someone outside who tried to kidnap Boss Jiang.Only in this way can Jiang Dexin get a reasonable explanation for his presence at the construction site.

Xu Yishen narrowed his eyes and analyzed: "Xingwen means that there is a person outside who tricked Jiang Dexin out to negotiate yesterday afternoon, pretending to know about the Qingshuiwan project, and wanted to extort a sum of money. The place he made an appointment with Mr. Jiang should be It won't be too remote, and it won't easily arouse President Jiang's suspicion, so Jiang Dexin will take the bait?"

Yue Xingwen nodded: "Jiang Dexin is the boss of a real estate company. He started from scratch and worked hard for ten years. He may have killed someone in the Qingshuiwan project. But he is shrewd and cunning. If you directly ask him to meet at the construction site, someone died just two days ago on the construction site." , with his vigilance, it is impossible to come here alone. It would be more reasonable for him to be kidnapped to the construction site when he was negotiating with people outside."

Zhuo Feng agreed: "It makes sense. When he came to the construction site yesterday, he was shouting and hugging. He brought his assistants and several bodyguards. He must be afraid that the workers would get emotional and attack him. Such a cautious person appeared on the construction site alone. Negotiating with people is unreasonable. He was tied up with ropes all over his body and his mouth was gagged with a rag, so he should have been tied outside."

Lin Manluo frowned slightly: "That is to say, someone tied him up and sent him to the construction site. In the dead of night, the workers will seal him into the wall? Should the two murderers cooperate?"

Yue Xingwen said: "It is also possible that the person who kidnapped him and sealed him into the wall was the same person. This person kidnapped him and hid him yesterday afternoon, then sneaked back to the construction site at night, carried him up to the 6th floor from the underground passage, and sealed him into the wall." The wall. Of course, no matter what the possibility, there must be a murderer operating outside."

Jiang Pingce said: "The murderer is physically strong, otherwise, he would not be able to subdue an adult like Jiang Dexin easily."

Zhang Xiaonian scratched his head in doubt: "How to investigate the murderer who acted outside? We can't get out of the construction site."

Yue Xingwen was silent for a moment, and said: "Let's check the people on the construction site first. It is true that no one went out yesterday afternoon, but what about at night? Will someone leave the dormitory and secretly go to Xinyue Building to seal the kidnapped Jiang Dexin into the building?" into the wall?"

Jiang Pingce said: "Everyone investigate separately."

Ke Shaobin turned and left, turned around when he reached the door, looked at the dead man lying on the ground covered in cement and staring wide-eyed, and asked in a low voice, "The body was dug up from the wall, should we call the police?"

Yue Xingwen said: "Don't alert the police. If we can solve the case before the police arrive, the score will definitely be higher. Moreover, once the police arrive, maybe the murderer will destroy the evidence when he is alert."

Jiang Pingce also said: "Let's check first, if you can't find out, then consider whether to call the police."

When everyone heard this, they went back to ask the workers they were familiar with. The key to the question was whether they had gone out last night.Zhao Xuemei and Zhao Qiang didn't go out, and their roommates also said that they were more excited after talking about marriage, and they didn't go to sleep until late at night.

Zhao Anming never went out, and it was Zhao Liang who testified for him.

To everyone's surprise, Zhao Liang actually moved in to sleep with Zhao Anming last night?

Zhao Liang explained: "Uncle An Ming told me that my roommate is not easy to get along with, and he might hit me again if he disagrees. Why don't you move in with him first, sleep in my uncle's bed, and tidy up my roommate by the way. Uncle's relic."

Zhao Liang was beaten up by his roommate a few days ago, and he didn't dare to live with that vicious roommate. Zhao Anming took the initiative to ask him to go to sleep, but he didn't refuse.Zhao Liang said: "Last night, Uncle Ming and I kept packing my uncle's things, and we didn't go to sleep until 1:[-] in the morning. Uncle Ming snored so loudly that I couldn't sleep well all night."

Yue Xingwen asked: "Are you sure he stayed in the dormitory all night?"

Zhao Liangliang nodded: "Well, I was in a daze. I kept hearing his snoring and talking in sleep. It was after 5 o'clock in the morning, and I didn't fall asleep until dawn."

Zhao Anming did not go out last night, Zhao Liang's testimony does not seem to be lying.

But in this way, Zhao Anming, who is the most suspected, has no time to commit crimes?

Yue Xingwen always felt strange.This Zhao Anming graciously offered to live with Zhao Dayong from the very beginning, and even told them many stories about Zhaojiacun.After Zhao Dayong died, he offered to live with Zhao Liang again.

Is it pure gossip and enthusiastic people, or did he deliberately ask Zhao Liang to give him an alibi?

After coming out of Zhao Anming's dormitory, Yue Xingwen asked in a low voice: "Zhao Liang heard him snoring all night. Could it be that he recorded the snoring sound with his mobile phone and played it on a loop?"

Jiang Pingce frowned, and said, "Probably not. The voice is exactly the same after several hours of looping, which is likely to arouse suspicion. Moreover, the voice heard by Zhao Liang was also mixed with some gibberish, and he didn't hear him push the door to go out or open the door to come in." The voice. I think he probably really stayed in the dormitory last night."

Yue Xingwen thought about it carefully, and said helplessly: "It seems that this Zhao Anming is an interference item that provides clues. He lived with Zhao Dayong for a while, and lived with Zhao Liang last night, purely because of... warm heart?"

The investigation once again stalled.

Zhao Xuemei, Zhao Qiang, Zhao Anming, Zhao Liang, the four key suspects were all at the construction site yesterday afternoon, and they didn't leave the dormitory last night. They didn't have time to commit crimes at all!

Since Jiang Dexin's death was deduced to be related to the Qingshuiwan project in Zhaojia Village and the death of Zhao Dayong's brother-in-law, then the murderer must also be related to Zhaojia Village.

The murderer is related to Zhaojia Village, but the four people in Zhaojia Village have no time to commit the crime, so where will the murderer hide?

Yue Xingwen was thoughtful: "On the construction site, are there still people from Zhaojia Village that we have missed?"

Jiang Pingce was silent for a moment, and suddenly raised a key point: "Do people in Zhaojia Village have to be surnamed Zhao?"

Yue Xingwen: "..."

That's right, are 100% of the people in Zhaojia Village surnamed Zhao?Maybe not!

Some fragments suddenly flashed in Yue Xingwen's mind——

"Zhao Dayong's parents both died of liver cancer. He was brought up by his brother. His brother Zhao Dacheng was 10 years older than him. He was the best carpenter in our village. Later he married a wife and gave birth to Zhao Liang. The husband and wife work in other places all year round, and the child is left to uncle Zhao Dayong to take care of..."

"Girls in our village never married outsiders before. After a long time, the relationship between relatives is almost indistinguishable..."

These are all the information that Zhao Anming revealed to them during the chat two days ago.

Now, these clips flashed back in his mind, and Yue Xingwen's eyes suddenly became clear: "Girls in Zhaojia Village don't marry outsiders, but men in Zhaojia Village can marry outside women—these women don't necessarily have to be named Zhao!"

Jiang Pingce instantly understood what Yue Xingwen meant, and asked, "What's the name of Zhao Dayong's sister-in-law?"

This key has been ignored by them all the time.

In the past, investigations were always carried out around "Zhaojiacun". Everyone subconsciously felt that the people in Zhaojiacun were the most suspicious. People like Zhao Xuemei, Zhao Qiang, and Zhao Anming were very familiar with each other and grew up together.Yue Xingwen even wondered if a group of people from Zhaojiacun were working together to commit crimes?

But after checking and checking, these people always have alibi.

However, not all people related to Zhaojia Village are locals from Zhaojia Village, and there are also relatives of the woman who married into Zhaojia Village!

The two returned to the room immediately.

Jiang Pingce asked Zhao Anming directly: "Isn't Zhao Dayong's sister-in-law a native of Zhaojia Village?"

Zhao Anming was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You can even guess this!"

Two people: "..."

Yue Xingwen noticed that the two people's reasoning was close to the truth, and his heart beat faster. He looked at Zhao Anming and asked seriously, "Did Zhao Dayong's sister-in-law marry into Zhaojiacun from another place?"

Zhao Anming said: "That's right. Dayong's brother Dacheng is the most skilled carpenter in our village. When he was working outside, he met a beautiful girl and married her back."

Yue Xingwen asked nervously, "What's her name?"

Zhao Anming scratched his head and thought for a while, then said: "Her name... seems to be Yan Hui."

Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other.

Yan Hui... Yan Kai? !

He lived in the same room with Zhao Liang, beat Zhao Liang and drove him out. On the construction site, he was labeled as "powerful and bullying", and the workers would avoid him when they saw him. The warehouse manager of the construction party, Yan Kai.

Yue Xingwen gasped - to be honest, they never suspected this person!

In everyone's opinion, this person is a social gangster who bullies others on the construction site because of his personal relationship with the supervisor of the construction party.Yue Xingwen recalled the appearance of this man. He has a strong figure, a tattoo on his arm, slightly sunken eye sockets, and a pair of eyes that are as sharp as a falcon. He is not easy to provoke.

He shows people the image of a "gangster", looking fierce, his emotions are written on his face, and he beats people if he disagrees with him, but it is not easy for people to suspect that he will be a scheming and thoughtful murderer!

But after thinking about it, as an adult, he directly beat Zhao Liang and occupied Zhao Liang's bed. Is this reasonable?

Several people in Zhaojia Village had alibi last night, but Yan Kai has no roommates!Naturally, no one knows, did he leave the dormitory last night?

Perhaps, he was looking for an excuse to drive Zhao Liang away on purpose, so that Zhao Liang would not be involved in the murder case.When he beat Zhao Liang, was he actually protecting the child in a different way?

Because this is his sister's son, his own nephew?
